Product Description
God's Gladiators by Stuart Wilde is his most personally revealing book to date. He lays his soul bare as he goes in pursuit of the devil, and finds him a decent chap if a little misunderstood. The dark side, after all, stands side by side with the light, waiting for each of us personally to walk up and shake their hands. What a glorious moment awaits as we embrace our mortality and say good-bye to our illusion of perfection. Stuart lays it all out for us. It's up to you where you go from here. ... Read more

Stuie From Family Guy Makes More Sense
11 years ago, Stuart Wilde changed my life with his marvelous work "Whispering Winds of Change".Being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, his teachings were particularly profound in my struggle with finding spirituality after breaking free from a brainwashing cult. To date, he is THE most influential of all metaphysical teachers in my life--period.But something has changed.In his book, "Infinite Self" he warns of the dangers of "becoming a guru by manipulating weaker people and"using your knowledge to frighten people, to scare them into giving you their power or their money."So what is it that you want from ME Stuie and the rest of your faithful that bought this book?"God's Gladiators?""God's Train Wreck" would have been a more suitable title--you really want to look away but you just can't. Strip this book down to it's bare bones and take away all the woo woo ramblings and you have the same basic premise of the Jehovah's Witness religion:you have no control, you are being controlled, there are very dark forces at work and even if you live the best life possible you are still probably going to end up being screwed.Oh, and by the way, the end of the world is right around the corner.Even the pictures on his website look like images straight out of a Watchtower or Awake.Did the man who changed the way I perceive the world really just tell me to make sure Iput a towel under my feet if I simply MUST put my feet on the floor because the Ghouls love to come up through the floor boards?I think Mr. Wilde has played (or faught) too long in the dimensions of the dark...or maybe he's just done too much Aya...perhaps both.Whatever his path. destiny has taken him on an extended trip to the dark side.What hope does he offer?Not much at all actually.I honestly only think he mentioned God's Gladiators a handful of times...but don't count on them if you eat meat, use a microwave or talk on your cell phone too much because the Ghouls are gonna get ya and suck up all your life force. This sad work does not detract from what he has given to me over the years but I had to come to the same conclusion about Stuart that I did of the Jehovah's Witnesses when I broke free:Even if this IS the truth, I will not live my life that way.I'm going to miss you Stuie.Please come back to the light.

A grim, yet optimistic POV
I'm relatively new to SW's books and lectures and I am pleasantly surprised that a book like God's Gladiators has been published.

This book shows the reader where they are at this point and how much of their free spirit is owned by other forces and entities.
Some time ago I would probably have regarded this book as paranoid New Age fluff but from what I heard from SW so far he is no BSer.

In my eyes this book isnt meant to make people feel paranoid. Its rather matter of fact, offering an alternative POV on one's current situation. Our situation looks grim at this point, acc. to SW's vision (and that vision is shared by other highly respectable people). Yet he offers an escape route for those who dare. This escape route is not new, its eternal and utterly beautiful. It does ask to give up a lot of what most people regard as necessities in their lives. Beyond the materialistic stuff there is much much more to let go of - and that might be scary. Yet if you listen closely your Heart will tell you that there is Truth.

Thank you for writing this book, Stuart!

PS: If you ever get the chance to listen to Stuart's lectures you will feel in his voice where this beautiful soul is coming from. Kindness eternal.

What Happened to this Previously Brilliant Author?
I read this after reading all of his other works - what a disappointment! Hecontradicts his other works and goes on about fighting the Grays and submitting to some Goddess with firery eyes. This is not compatible with his other teachings and seems full of struggle. All of his previous works focus on creating your own reality and choosing to see what you want to see - where as in this book he seems to have given up to some other power and seems lost. The book left me with an overall feeling of despondency.
It was all a bit sad, he used to be my favorite author. What happened Mr. Wilde?

Very Interesting Book.
I recommend reading ALL of Stuart Wilde's books. He will change the way you thik about thinking.

A Terrible Fall For Stuart Wilde
For years I have been a fan of Stuart Wilde, often an uncomfortable one, who has been challenged by his ideas and ideals.I ordered God's Gladiators and read it cover to cover the day it arrived.I immediately went into a long clinical depression (my first) while I tried to wrestle with the dark world he has invented.Now that I am well medicated and almost a year into therapy, I can see the book for what it is, and objectively: The Ravings Of A Liar Or A Madman.If the book is meant to be a metaphor, Wilde pointing out that the devil story IS a metaphor only makes it appear the rest of the book is not. I think this old man has gone bonkers, right out to lunch, and is quite possibly schizophrenic.Try holding up any of his claims to scientific scrutiny and I bet we'll find nothing that can be proven.This is a sad and dangerous book by a sick man who used to have something to say.Total BS.I wonder what Wayne Dyer thinks of this crap? ...
