Chosen
Chosen, a sequel to Loved, is a redemptive message to reveal the nature of Jesus and His love for you. The heart of Jesus is revealed through His joy and plan for you as you step into His world. Though redemption is often defined through the glory and sacrifice of the cross, the goal of this book is for us to truly see Jesus and His compassion for our journey as He answers the question, "Who is Chosen?"The enemy has tried to fill our hearts with lies convincing us that we are unworthy of redemption. We come face to face with the feeling of "not enough" and yet Jesus speaks the truth, that because of Him we are worthy. Stepping into your identity that you are, in fact, chosen is the answer to overcoming those lies. Each chapter will challenge readers to look within and overcome fear as they step onto the path that has been laid before them. Through an inner healing journey, the reader will not only experience victory in overcoming the temptations that Jesus faced, but will overcome with compassion for others. Redeemer embodies the true identity of Christ and His love and adoration for you.Chosen carries a depth of wisdom and will encourage the reader to not give up their fight. The reader will discover that each battle is won in the secret place. The message of this book is counter-cultural as it fills you with purpose and passion. Your journey as chosen has just begun.Endorsement: With a likeness to John Bunyan's, The Pilgrim's Progress, Chosen will take you on a metaphorical journey as you embark on an exhilarating pilgrimage side by side with the Redeemer. With creative writing that will capture your imagination, and enlighten your soul, Chosen invites your senses to come alive as you experience the constant presence of Love and Spirit, and glean wisdom from Peace, Lesson, Patience, and Kindness. Through mountaintops and valleys, each page will prick your heart with truth and grace, and will overwhelm you with the encompassing reality that Jesus indeed calls you Chosen! Chosen is an invitation to commune with your Redeemer and understand His love for you.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for
Good ministers and preachers still have doubts. If you haven't got them, if you believe you've found the answer in this or that practice, ritual or scripture, and that that is the universal truth for everyone, at all time, you've lost it. The answer is in the search, in growing in wisdom, experience and love. The myths, stories and doctrines of Christianity have shaped our culture, the way we think and act, and they can still help us on our path if we let them, give them room to breathe and change us.
No Faith in Religion
If religion is characterised by the recruitment of God to serve our agendas, and faith is about putting our agendas at the service of God, then clearly there is too much religion in the world, and not enough faith. The first eight chapters of this book apply this religion/faith dichotomy to some crucial areas of interest to those exploring what it might mean to be people of faith in a world saturated with religion.
When I Consider Your Heavens
In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is 'open'-not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented.What Others Say About This Book: Drawing on contemporary philosophy and science, Dr. Latham has written an accessible and lively introduction to a wide range of reasons for diagnosing the Universe as God's creation.-Peter S. Williams, author of A Universe from Someone: Essays on Natural Theology (Wipf and Stock, 2022)In succinct prose, Dr. Antony Latham summarizes the compelling reasons given by science and philosophy for the existence of God. I heartily recommend it to anyone who is wondering about this most important question of our lives.-Michael J. Behe, author of Darwin's Black BoxAbout the Author: Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa. He has authored books on Darwinism and the philosophy of mind, and holds a degree in Medical Law and Bioethics. Currently, he chairs the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics. He and his wife have four children and three grandchildren. They live in the Western Isles of Scotland, where he enjoys sailing and mountaineering.

Divine Flesh, Embodied Word
What has Luce Irigaray's statement that women need a God to do with her thoughts on the relation between body and mind, or the sensible and the intelligible? Using the theological notion 'incarnation' as a hermeneutical key, Anne-Claire Mulder brings together and illuminates the interrelations between these different themes in Luce Irigaray's work. Seesawing between Luce Irigaray's critique of philosophical discourse and her constructive philosophy, Mulder elucidates Irigaray's thoughts on the relations between 'becoming woman' and 'becoming divine'. She shows that Luce Irigaray's restaging of the relation between the sensible and the intelligible, between flesh and Word, is key to her reinterpretation of the relation between woman and God. In and through her interpretation of Luce Irigaray's thoughts on the flesh she argues that the relation between flesh and Word must be seen as a dialectical one, instead of as a dualistic relation. This means that 'incarnation' is no longer seen as a one-way process of Word becoming flesh, but as a continuing process of flesh becoming word and word becoming flesh. For all images and thoughts - including those of 'God' - are produced by the flesh, divine in its creativity inexhaustibility, in response to the touch of the other. And these images, thoughts, words in turn become embodied, by touching and moving the flesh of the subject.

Captive Gods
Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah explores how early social scientists developed our modern understandings of society through their theories of religion The foundations of modern social science were built on the study of religion, the acclaimed thinker Kwame Anthony Appiah argues. Delving into the intellectual currents of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he investigates how formative thinkers--notably Edward Burnett Tylor, ?mile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber--grappled with the concepts of society and religion as interdependent categories. Appiah shows how their efforts to define religion, or evade the task, mark the power and limitations of social thought in ways that persist among theorists today. Religion was not merely an object of study but a framework through which early social scientists established sociology as a discipline. Appiah also examines more recent work in both interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology about the mechanisms through which communities form beliefs and values--while underscoring the enduring significance of these earlier debates for contemporary social thought. Throughout, he intertwines storytelling, historical analysis, and philosophical reflection to show how our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions.
15 Days of Prayer with Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
The purpose of the volume that you hold in your hand is to lead you over a period of 15 days (about 2 weeks) or, maybe more realistically, 15 prayer periods to a place where prayer is possible if you already have a regular experience and practice of prayer perhaps this volume could lead you to a deeper place a more intimate relationship with the Lord. Note that this book's purpose is not to lead you to a better relationship with Elizabeth Ann Seton, your spiritual companion. Although your companion will invite you to share some of their deepest and most intimate thoughts, your companion is doing so only to bring you into that place where God dwells. After all, the true measurement of a companion for the journey is that they bring you to the place where you need to be, and then step back, out of the picture a guide who brings you to the desired destination and then sticks around is a very unwelcome test!

The Power of the Altar
Not all altars are equal; some surpass others in power. When a priest dedicates an altar to God, it becomes immensely powerful, as King Solomon demonstrated in his time (1 Kings 8:23-53). The altar holds dominion over the stars. By receiving a star, a person gains a unique spirit that shapes their identity. The altar of Samuel transferred the star of leadership from Saul to David through sacrifice (1 Samuel 16:13). Losing one s star leaves a person spiritually empty, for it is the spirit that defines who we are. With clarity and precision, the author explores the significance of prayer, fasting, sacrifice, the star, the spirit, and the meanings of dreams and visions. This book provides valuable insights for spiritual growth. Intended for all readers, it offers foundational wisdom for beginners while also containing deeper insights for those more spiritually advanced.
Humankind and the Universe, Creator or Coincidence
If one were to reflect on the course of their life, they would find that much of it is shaped by coincidence rather than conscious decision. We do not choose the place of our birth, the identity of our parents, or the society we belong to, yet these factors exert the greatest influence on our future. We have no say in the color of our skin, the language we speak, the faith we inherit, the nationality we carry, or the homeland we call our own. And yet, these elements form the essence of our identity, neither by merit nor by fault of our own. As for our careers, they often unfold as paths laid before us by time rather than deliberate choices. We follow them without fully grasping their implication, and they come to define a significant portion of our lives. Marriage, too, a seemingly personal choice, is often dictated by circumstances and chance encounters that lead us to a partner with whom we paint the canvas of our future. So, is life merely the sum of coincidences? Or is there an unseen force of destiny steering us toward an inevitable fate? Are we programmed from birth, moving through life according to a predetermined script? Or do we possess a degree of freedom, enough to give us the illusion of choice while remaining unaware of the boundaries we can never cross, boundaries that make us believe the space we navigate is the entirety of existence? How can we discern whether our thoughts and emotions are confined within an invisible cage, one that restricts our perception of the world? What if the reality we see is but a fraction of a much vaster existence, one that remains beyond our reach, hidden from our senses and understanding? I lean toward believing in the duality, a blend of predestination and free will, a constrained liberty that allows us to move within limits defined by the strength of our wings.
The Source of the King's Power
The administration of any kingdom derives its power from the King, whose Signet cannot be contested. The title of this book asserts that there is a power source, the root from which believers draw supernatural strength. There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His roots. Isaiah 11:1 The King of kings, who is the power source for believers, is the Rod from the stem of Jesse. He stirs the power of God into manifestation within the human soul. Therefore, in any transactions involving God s children, we ought to seek the divine source for enablement, guidance, and direction, rather than merely relying on the basic principles of this world. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Luke 11:10 This book unveils and empowers the knowledge of God s potential, already deposited in the sanctified soul. And so, this saying remains true: My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Yet, Steve soon finds himself pulled into a journey of his own-one that forces him to confront truths he's long kept buried. Friends, Jan and Holly, couldn't be more different-on the surface, at least. One leans on her beauty, the other on higher education.

I Was Just Standing There Being Stupid
How does one unexplainable event alter the entire thinking pattern of a lifelong atheist in the matter of ten seconds? Mystery is always a solid foundation for literary appeal, but the book is mainly directed toward the larger audience of the spiritually curious. The story line could be for those on the edge of belief, who seek rest beyond the question or the book could possibly be destined to land in the hands of someone preparing to walk through their last door. The supernaturally inquisitive might even want to view it as another perspective on the dimensional universe. Hopefully, the atheistic/agnostic crowd, to whom the author was once king patriarch, would see his testimony as a bridge to a merciful God, who is the professor of all knowledge, and has no intention of flunking anyone. What could be peculiar would be the banning of the book from religious bookshelves by the Pews of Perpetual Condemnation. The book may appear rather provocative to this legalistic group. The reader will become the jury on its spiritual value. Most of all, this book is not a religious crusade. The last thing this planet needs is another religious band-wagon parading down Main Street.

O Virtue, Where Are Thou?
For centuries, the story of Esther has captured the minds of not only master theologians but also ordinary readers of the Bible. Despite its popularity, it has seldom been read to understand the deeper meaning that lies beneath the fairy-tale-like narrative of simple peasants, Esther and Mordecai, rising from rags to riches. The Book of Esther is an extraordinary blend of hope and despair, faith and reality, and power and vulnerability; to understand it, a new perspective is required. The book takes the reader to a new height and rides the sea of adventure with Esther and Mordecai, revealing that, on its way to its climactic point, there are many signs of virtue strewn all around. These signposts are necessary for today's world, which is clueless about the true value of virtue. As a supplemental reading of Esther, the book offers a unique and innovative way to read and understand the main characters of the Bible, like Esther and Mordecai, and learn from them the key components of godly characters like faith, courage, and virtue.

The God Who Blesses
The God Who Blesses: 50 Reflections on Blessing and Blessedness is a fresh, imaginative look at a concept that is paradoxically familiar yet also little understood by Christians. Written for the thoughtful lay person, The God Who Blesses explores the who, what, where, when, why and how of blessings, emphasizing their rootedness in God's grace. Included are various case studies of blessing in Scripture. The book also addresses how we trivialize the concept of blessing, when we say things like "bless my cotton socks."Until now, the few books on blessing have taken a scholarly or academic approach.The God Who Blesses instead offers an accessible approach to an important but largely unexamined aspect of our faith. Endorsement: When working alongside youth and volunteers, I frequently find myself using the word bless-but what do I really mean? In his approachable work, Dr. Jackson took me on a journey to find a more accurate and thoughtful understanding and application of blessing, one that both protects me from a superstitious, compulsive, or guilt-based use, and brings me closer to a reverent, flourishing, and dynamic praxis. In doing so, he has allowed me to more fully embrace God's creativity and provision, prompting me to ask what I can do in response and how I can share this with others in my life-for which I am deeply grateful.%Erik Brucker, Area Director, Young Life International Central London, England About the authorGordon S. Jackson is a South-African born educator and author. He grew up in Cape Town and received his undergraduate education in South Africa. After working as a journalist in Johannesburg, he completed his doctorate at Indiana University. He then taught journalism at Whitworth University, in Spokane, WA, for 32 years before retiring in 2015.The God Who Blesses: 50 Reflections on Blessing and Blessedness is his eighteenth book.
Breaking the Barriers to Belonging
As the world changes, the need for belonging among diverse groups of people is as strong as ever. There are great discussions and literature around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but they are often confined to the academic environment and may not easily translate to real-world scenarios. Moreover, there is a lack of understanding of how our biology and neurobiology affect our emotions, perceptions, and behaviors in relation to these topics. This book bridges the DEI discussions with the real-world impact of these topics. At the baseline of our existence, we all have the same needs as part of our shared humanity, and we all have a role to play in fostering belonging in our organizations and spheres of influence. Endorsement: With this book, the Losambes have penned an important contribution to the burgeoning discussion about belonging-what it means and the science behind it, why it matters, what interrupts it, and how we can harness its deep power to transform not just ourselves in relation to others, but the systems around us that desperately need to be re-imagined... with all of us in mind. They have issued a call to all of us, to invest in our shared humanity, in these pages. Let us heed it!%Jennifer Brown, Founder & CEO, Jennifer Brown Consulting; Best-Selling Author, Inclusion, How to be an Inclusive Leader, and Beyond Diversity (with co-author Rohit Bhargava)Shared humanity!

The Philosophy Of Friedrich Nietzsche
The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche presents a bold reappraisal of one of modern philosophy's most provocative figures. Rather than merely cataloging Nietzsche's controversial ideas, the work challenges prevailing assumptions and offers a lucid interpretation of his intellectual evolution. It traces his movement from religious upbringing to radical criticism of moral conventions and social conformity. The analysis highlights the importance of individual strength, the cultivation of will, and the rejection of herd mentality. It argues that Nietzsche s work is not nihilistic but instead a call for human excellence through the revaluation of values. The early sections underscore Nietzsche s transition from inherited belief systems toward an embrace of personal agency and intellectual independence. This shift forms the foundation for his later ideas, including his critique of institutional morality and his affirmation of life. Through accessible language and structured analysis, the book transforms Nietzsche s complex ideas into a powerful invitation to self-overcoming and existential courage.
Notes On The Apocalypse
Notes on the apocalypse is a theological treatise that explores the book of revelation in the new testament, focusing on its prophetic and symbolic language. The text offers an interpretation aimed at clarifying signs of the times, divine providence, and the christian experience in relation to prophetic scripture. It begins with an epistle highlighting the communal bond among believers and the urgency of understanding the apocalypse amid societal challenges. The work stresses the complexity and often misunderstood nature of the book of revelation and its historical context. It emphasizes the importance of familiarity with gospel doctrines, symbolic language, and maintaining a perspective free from political bias to properly interpret the prophetic sections. The author also reflects on historical apprehension surrounding the text, particularly during significant religious reform periods, arguing for its ongoing relevance and spiritual necessity. This treatise seeks to guide readers toward a deeper comprehension of prophecy and its role in faith.
Philosophy And Religion
Philosophy and religion explores the intersection of reason and belief, offering a critique of materialist explanations for existence while asserting the need for a spiritual foundation rooted in consciousness. The lectures build a case for the rational credibility of personal religion by challenging assumptions that separate the material world from mental and moral experience. It questions whether matter can truly exist apart from consciousness, proposing instead that reality is grounded in a universal Mind. The argument suggests that denying the spiritual nature of existence leaves morality and meaning without foundation. Through a measured philosophical lens, the work addresses the nature of God not as an abstract principle but as an intelligible necessity for understanding both existence and ethics. The text invites readers to reflect on the coherence of their beliefs by placing divine reality at the core of philosophical inquiry. It frames the search for religious truth not as blind acceptance but as an intellectual journey guided by ethical reasoning, spiritual depth, and critical reflection.
The Letters of H. P. Blavatsky
Helena Blavatsky, in an 1877 letter to her aunt, called herself "a psychological enigma, a puzzle for future generations, a Sphinx!" Fourteen years later a New York Tribune obituary compared her with "the greatest thinkers, not alone of the present day, but of all time." That obituary went on to predict, "Madame Blavatsky has made her mark upon the time, and thus, too, her works will follow her." Her works have indeed done so, including the groundbreaking Isis Unveiled (1877); her fictionalized travel account, From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan (1883-1886); her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine (1888); an introduction to her teachings, The Key to Theosophy (1889); her mystical handbook for spiritual development, The Voice of the Silence (1889); and her newspaper and magazine articles (1874-1891), now collected in fourteen volumes. In addition to those published works, H.P.B. was a prolific correspondent with her family and colleagues, friends and foes, the learned and the simple. Her published works present the public Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Her correspondence represents the private H.P.B., the enigmatic, puzzling sphinx. That correspondence, of which this is the second volume, is presented in the H. P. Blavatsky Collected Writings series. The letters within volume 2 include the period of February, 1879 to December, 1883. Writing in 1879, HPB describes her arrival by steamship in Bombay, accompanied by Col. Henry Olcott and Edward Wimbridge: Imagine the deputies of the Society coming out to greet us in boats, decorated with garlands of flowers, accompanied by an orchestra of musicians, blowing on trumpets and horns; no sooner had they got on board our vessel than we were surrounded. I raged and laughed at the same time, at the spectacle we presented to the eyes of all the loafers assembled on the bridge and on the quay. In November 1883, HPB writes from Adyar, Madras, India, to Parbati Churn Roy: My dear Brother--I have just returned from Bombay, and therefore just had your letter, to which I answer. I am glad to find you in such a state of mind, but how can I assure you of that which it is not in my power to accomplish? All I can say to you is, no one, no Theosophist, who ever came here, went away without having had some phenomenal proof or other of the existence of the Mahatmas. Throughout the letters contained in this volume, HPB continues her travels as a public figure, and zealously proclaims her Theosophical views and belief in her Masters. Her correspondence tells the whole story, with an insider's knowledge and in her own voice.
The Non-Christian Cross
The non-Christian cross presents a critical examination of the historical origins and symbolic interpretations of the cross, challenging its exclusive association with Christianity. Written as a scholarly exploration, the work raises fundamental questions about the form, function, and meaning of the cross in diverse cultural contexts. The introduction outlines several areas of inquiry, such as the visual representation of religious figures holding crosses, the ritual use of the symbol in early practices, and the evolving forms it has taken across civilizations. Rather than accepting the cross as inherently Christian, the book proposes that it was a widespread and ancient emblem, often connected to concepts of life, fertility, and cosmic order. By tracing its appearance in pre-Christian belief systems, the text reveals how religious symbols undergo transformation and reinterpretation over time. It invites the reader to consider how spiritual meaning can be inherited, adapted, or misattributed across eras. Through critical analysis and historical comparison, the author opens a broader discussion on the complexity of religious symbolism, asserting that the cultural weight of the cross extends far beyond its Christian application.

Razormist
In my first book, First Church of Mars: A Practical Guide to Christianity for the Interplanetary Traveler, I presented the reader with a picture of the church without all the man-made traditions that have choked out its effectiveness. How exactly do we interact with the church under this context? What if the church were able to adapt to individual and cultural needs without judgment, cliques, and division? Just how much of the personality and character that we bring to our relationship with God do we actually keep?This book both asks and answers the question "Does God love everyone, even a professional killer?" (The answer to that question is an emphatic "Yes!") It is a simple tale centered on a professional killer named Razormist. Misty was raised from childhood to be a professional killer.

Knowledge And Truth
Human knowledge is fundamentally defined as "justified true belief," a definition that has ignited significant debates in epistemology regarding "belief," "justification," and "truth." This work explores the definition of knowledge while addressing contemporary challenges. Part One examines the essence of human knowledge, beginning with an analysis of its etymology and the nature of consciousness. Key issues within epistemology and diverse perspectives that shape our understanding are also highlighted. Part Two focuses on the foundational components of justified true belief, analyzing belief and justification, drawing on Bertrand Russell and the Gettier problem. Subsequent chapters critically assess various theories and critiques concerning truth in the context of human knowledge. Part Three challenges the limitations of the Western epistemological tradition and considers alternatives, examining Indigenous Knowledge Systems through African epistemology and the concept of Akonuche. It also discusses agnotology, the post-truth phenomenon, and the impact of artificial intelligence on knowledge in today's hyper-globalized world. Ultimately, this work synthesizes key insights, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities of knowledge in the modern era.

Kingdom of Heaven
Kingdom of Heaven being the work of professor Hilton. If the Kingdom of God does not include everything, who is the ruler of that part not included? And if we do not live in the Kingdom of God, where are we? That Kingdom mentioned in the John gospel must have been located far off in some secret corner of the Universe, and as unknown to the Jesus of the Matthew and Mark gospels, in which he was made to say: Whereunto shall I liken the Kingdom of God, or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth, but when sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it (Matthew 13:31; Mark 4:31).
Play of Consciousness in the Web of the Universe
When ideas are based on fundamental truths, their value must remain undiminished with the passing of time. Such is the case with this theosophical classic. Edward L. Gardner, a man of extraordinary sensitivity, offers his views on creation and consciousness. Creation: Why it happened and how it is structured. Consciousness: What it is and how it evolves. This is a book about the web-like fabric which carries within itself all the material forms of the world; bears and supports them eternally. This is a book about life and light, which is consciousness becoming self-conscious, becoming transpersonally conscious. Based closely on 'The Stanzas of Dzyan' from H.P. Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, Gardner's contribution to truth can be a most valuable tool for all serious seekers into the nature of Reality.
