Praying as Jesus Taught Us to Pray
This book is for anyone who struggles in knowing how to pray. The book explores the Lord's Prayer - the how-to-pray guide that Jesus taught in response to an unnamed disciple's request, "Lord, teach us to pray." The book develops the structure of the prayer - the address, the first three petitions about God, and the last three petitions dealing with the stuff of our lives - identifying the spiritual truths upon which each section is built. It shows how those spiritual truths speak to our anxiety and worries about the present, our guilt, regret, and shame about the past, and our fears about the not-yet-experienced future. Treating the prayer Jesus taught as a how-to-pray guide, the book shows us how our experience of prayer can become more meaningful and fulfilling - a way of connecting with God as we grow spiritually into the likeness of Christ.
After The Ten Commandments
What comes after the commandments? A deeper look into your soul, your faith, and your eternal path. After the Ten Commandments is a spiritually charged, deeply personal exploration of Christian faith, biblical truth, and the call to repentance. This compelling Christian testimony begins with a foundational question: Who wrote the Bible? Drawing on scripture and historical accounts, the author offers a thoughtful journey through the origins of biblical authorship. From King David and Moses to the disciples of Christ, these men were inspired by God to deliver His message. More than a study of Bible authorship, this book is a call to rediscover Jesus Christ, the only figure in history to be announced before birth, during life, and after death. With heartfelt conviction, the author addresses the cultural drift away from faith, the erosion of Christian values, and the urgent need for repentance, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening. Whether you're struggling with belief, searching for answers, or hoping to guide others toward salvation, this book invites you to reflect on your soul's condition and your place in God's plan. Through faith-based reflection, scriptural insight, and moral clarity, it challenges you to return to a life of purpose, love, and eternal meaning. If you care about modern Christianity, seek truth, or want to inspire someone toward spiritual growth, After the Ten Commandments is a must-read. Read and share the story. Your soul is worth it.
Art
As the title suggests, we are here addressing the most fundamental questions: Who is man? What is art? What is the bond that unites man, nature and art? The argument at the heart of this book is that what should be common to all men and women-a natural affinity with the sacred that holds out the promise of spiritual experience in everyday life- is in fact made all but impossible by the very nature of modern society. For what the modern world has set in place is nothing other than a pattern of life that prevents us from being what we truly are. The destruction of man that is part and parcel of the scientific, industrial view of our destiny cannot do otherwise than in turn destroy those values and meanings that have always been the bedrock of normal human existence. At a time when the inadequacy of modernism has become apparent, the author returns to the challenge of the English radical tradition of thought (Blake, Cobbett, Carlyle, Ruskin, Morris, Gill and others), with its critique of the industrial-now post-industrial-way of life. Through a series of highly original studies of several major English artists and craftsman, and by addressing key themes that relate to the spiritual, cultural and environmental crisis that now confronts us, the author offers a positive development of the radical perspective. Can modern man survive the process of self-mutilation he has embarked upon? In this unique study of our present predicament, the author suggests we cannot do so by turning our back on the perennial wisdom that has always informed the wisest philosophies of life, with their intuition of the sacred nature of reality.

"Identity Crisis: The Debilitating Disease of the Church" is a concise but impactful look at how to bring the church back to its intended purpose and function. "Whenever a person allows their spiritual identity to be compromised, it immediately opens a door for them to be victimized, controlled, and manipulated by others, blurring the lines of their true spiritual identity. Oftentimes, perpetrators have hidden motives and agendas in order to gain access to the hearts, minds, and even possessions of the vulnerable and unsuspecting.Sadly, too many have been victimized by impostors in the church, which has subsequently weakened its influence. These impostors have disguised their identity in the name of religion, using their influence, titles, and positions of authority to fleece the people of God. The reputation of the church has been under a cloud of great scrutiny for many decades because of the indiscretions and improprieties of leadership.

Satan Christianity's Other God

Going deeper than simply showing that Satan is a construction of religious culture; Satan, Christianity's Other God explores how the belief in a supernatural Satan, is equal to believing in more than one God.

Brayshaw, author and researcher from Western Canada, takes the reader on a journey through the Scriptures and history. Sharing what he has learned since opting out of the institutional religion he was raised in, liberating insights are offered. Brayshaw's work has cracked open the prison of traditional belief in Satan to free the reader to see how the Satan of Christianity was not created by God. Together we discover that Satan never existed in the theology of the people of God until they spent time among cultures steeped in mythology-So why should he exist in our theology today?Piece by piece the Scriptures are explained to show how the well-known passages about Satan, have been tragically misapplied by those who have a preconceived belief in a cosmic Satan. In this timely tome, the Satan we used to know is handily dismantled. Readers are shown how the belief in a cosmic Satan has been thrust onto bible passages that have nothing to say about such an entity.As man struggles to understand the Creator, becoming free of a belief in Satan takes us a long way towards understanding of the God of Scripture.If you are undaunted by hard questions about your beliefs, then start today with this volume. Join the thousands who have found a refreshed outlook on who God is by learning why Satan is not at all like they have been told.

Through Kingdom Eyes
I started to write this book in my thirties and couldn't put it together. I was too much about me in those days, and as I say in the book, I was unable to access my feelings. I had an epiphany moment in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting when I saw in my imagination a little airplane pulling a banner that said Surrender. I had never surrendered entirely even to God, and this after having been a United Methodist minister for ten years.I was frightened at the prospect of losing myself, and I remembered how I had fought that very thing in my just-failed marriage. If I could just have stopped protecting myself from her needs, then I could have seen the hurt that she carried in her, and I would have been doing love by listening to her instead of pulling away. Instead, when God showed me that surrender to such a path was the way to gaining access to my feelings, and really better access to him, I was too frightened to risk it.This book is about a wondrous truth that God has revealed to me over the decades since those times. He showed me that we are eternal spiritual beings and that we live in the kingdom of God in the here and now. He showed me that the kingdom of God is the true fabric of reality, and the world of darkness that we walk around in is unable to fulfill the spiritual needs that God has instilled in us.We are made to love as he loves us. We are made to show others the grace that he shows us. We are made to forgive and not to hold grudges and judge others.God is being, and we are being made of him. The forever kingdom of God is meant to be manifested in what we call the here and now, through us. The sweet bye-and-bye is just a transition from one part of eternity to another. This part of eternity is meant to be changed by us as Jesus calls for in the Lord's Prayer ("thy will be done on earth as in heaven").We are the spiritual agents meant to change the world. We must see it first and thus Through Kingdom Eyes.

This structure provides readers with a roadmap for spiritual and personal growth, highlighting the importance of each phase in preparing for God's blessings.More Than Financial SuccessWhile the book culminates in the author achieving financial freedom and establishing a successful business, the essence of his story lies in the spiritual insights and personal development gained along the way.

Aflame
"Reading Aflame may help many to lead lives of greater compassion and deeper peace of mind." --His Holiness the Dalai Lama From the bestselling author of The Art of Stillness, a revelatory exploration of the abiding clarity and calm to be found in quiet retreat Pico Iyer has made more than one hundred retreats over the past three decades to a small Benedictine hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He's not a Christian--or a member of any religious group--but his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. That silence reminds him of what is essential and awakens a joy that nothing can efface. It's not just freedom from distraction and noise and rush: it's a reminder of some deeper truths he misplaced along the way. In Aflame, Iyer connects with inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery, even as his life is going through constant change: a house burns down, a parent dies, a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences, alongside wisdom from other nonmonastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. And most profoundly, he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing, he offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life--and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there's a space for quiet and recollection that's open to us all. Radiant, intimate, and gripping, Aflame offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live, how to love, and, ultimately, how to die.

Restore What Was Lost
Have we lost the reverence and awe for the house of God? Has the Church forgotten that our God is a consuming fire? On February 16th, 2018, the Lord granted me a vivid open vision-one that shook me to my core and revealed a devastating truth about the state of His house. In that vision, I saw men defiling what was meant to be holy, seemingly unnoticed and unchecked. The Lord's voice was clear: "Restore the awe and reverence for My house and return to the Fear of the Lord." This book was born out of that divine encounter and the many revelations the Lord shared with me regarding the Fear of the Lord-a crucial, yet missing element in the Church today. As believers, we have been lulled into complacency, operating under leaders and teachings that have strayed from the holy path. We have forgotten that the Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, the key to revival, and the gateway to His heart. Through powerful visions, Scriptural insights, and urgent prophetic messages, I invite you to rediscover the awe, reverence, and holy fear that God is calling us back to. The Lord is shaking His Church, separating what is of Him from what is not. Will we heed His voice, or will we turn a deaf ear to the consuming fire of His presence? This book is not just a message-it is a call to action, a cry for revival that begins with the Fear of the Lord. May it unlock your heart and ignite a burning desire to walk the path of holiness, reverence, and deep intimacy with our King. Will you answer the call?

Manifest for a Humanist Religio
In this book, we journey into the sacred spaces within our hearts, uncovering the light that shines from them, the very essence of our existence. At the dawn of time, the divine was within us, and through it, we communed with a Love that embraced all creation. Yet, as monotheistic religions and materialism took hold, we grew distant from one another, from nature, and from the diversity that once united us. We became strangers to the living world around us, whether human, animal, plant, or mineral, all bearers of the same primordial energy. This book invites you to rediscover that connection, to awaken to the truth that we are all divine, sacred vessels of the divine presence. Reconnection begins with the realization that something vital is missing, something we sense deep within, a longing, an inexpressible nostalgia. Saudade.
