Divine Hands
Divine Hands is an invitation to turn your attention to the reality of God's presence... at all times.We are held by the presence of the Triune God as we journey through life in the hard places, in the good places, and through our transformation. Divine hands hold us secure in the darkest places. They hold us as we respond in prayer to God's offer of intimacy, and they hold us in battle when we encounter the enemy of God. We are also held in joy as we experience and celebrate the life of God, and we are empowered and strengthened as we partner with God. We are surrounded by songs of deliverance and released for Kingdom influence as we align with God in his mission and rely on his presence. And finally we are held in rest, free from our striving, as we lean into the One who loves us most.We are held by God: secure, empowered, and released for his glory.
Journeying Towards Faith
'The glory of God is a human being fully alive.' - Irenaeus of Smyrna The seven chapters in this book take seriously these celebrated words of Irenaeus. Confessing the Incarnation of Jesus of Nazareth, their underlying assumption is that Jesus did not come to offer us a particular way of being religious, but a universal way of being human. The author believes that the Incarnation - which says as much about the mystery of being human as about the mysterious purposes of God - is a central impetus for him in his spiritual life journey towards fullness of life and freedom. For the author, Jesus is the parable of God, who challenges us towards a richer and larger life. Through parables, Jesus raises more questions than answers; and teaches us that our experience of God is not a subject's grasp of something 'out there', but will always be a lived experience from within ourselves. It is here, in the secret and hidden place of our hearts, where God speaks to us, and where we discover that 'there are answers we are the solution to'. As Pascal saw: 'The heart has its reasons which reason doesn't know about'.The book is an invitation to become more fully alive and more fully human. It is out of the reality of our everyday lives - and in the context of our wounded and wounding world - where we can hear, through the questions Jesus asks, the call and challenge to have our thinking about ourselves, prayer, and our relationship with God, utterly transformed.

How to Use the Science of Mind
Everything You Need to Know about How to Use One of Today's Most Powerful Philosophies! "We go in search of that which we already possess, but are not using." So says Ernest Holmes, author of THE SCIENCE OF MIND and founder of the philosophy of Religious Science. God is not far away, but is within ourselves, other people, and everywhere present. Why then, do we fall prey to unwanted conditions - illness, financial lack, relationship difficulties, loneliness and problems of every kind? Written as a manual for the practical applications of the principles set forth in The Science of Mind, this book takes the original philosophy of "change your thinking, change your life," and explains a clear and definite scientific method of prayer that can help you overcome life's obstacles.
I Came Through It All
Mary Vinson was born on June 13, 1944 to Willie Mae Sampler and Charlie James Menefee, Sr. She was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in Marietta and Dallas Georgia. She is the second oldest out of seventeen (17) siblings. During her childhood she did not start school until the age of eight (8) years old due to an illness and only completed the 9th grade at Lemon Street High School in Marietta, GA. She was married and became the mother of ten (10) children, with eight (8) living. Currently she has 20 grand- and ten (10) great-grands. During the year of 1970 she committed her life to the Lord. As she went on, she furthered her education at Atlanta Area Technical College in Atlanta, GA for nursing in 1980. She worked at the detention center with delinquents for the period of five (5) years. As she progressed, she was sent by the Lord to South Carolina to become a teacher's assistant at the Richland Memorial Daycare Center and worked there four (4) years. As she was called further into the prophetic ministry, she began to win the lost at any cost. She has been spreading it through radio, television, street ministry, revivals, homeless shelters, and all over. Under the mentoring and teaching of the Lord from the late Jean Barber, late Pastor Johnson and the resigning Lucy B. Moore, she has been sent further in the prophetic ministry. Now she has been advanced to a higher calling as an Apostletess/prophetess, Designer, Inventor, and founder of her businesses. Her goal is to build shelters for the homeless, teens with children; caring homes for the elderly and halfway houses for the people who have been released from prison. God Bless!
Recalibrating the Heart and Mind Back to God
Recalibration is the way God frees and propels us to fulfill the destiny that the enemy once stole. Being recalibrated is more than repenting and apologizing to God; it is a process of pruning, chastening, and testing that will prove the believer to be strong in the Lord to resist Satan. In Recalibrating the Heart and Mind Back to God, author Tammie Eyvette Monroe examines the vulnerability of every believer in Christ Jesus to make wrong turns and poor decisions to live in iniquity and falter on their God-given assignment. Even so, God is faithful and redirects and recalibrates our direction so that we can fulfill the destiny that God has chosen for us from the earth's foundation. Monroe considers the spiritual ramifications of sin and how it negatively influences our lives, going beyond recognizing the effects sin brings and dealing with the resulting pull away from God. She also explores what it takes to be recalibrated to the Father and how it can change your life. Using God's Word as a tool of deliverance, this guide teaches believers how to overcome and overthrow the enemy from every area of their lives through different types of prayer and the use of the Word of God as a weapon.

Enchantment
This book provides an overview of the various ways the concepts enchantment, disenchantment, and re-enchantment have been used both within religious studies scholarship and in related fields. Despite the prevalence of these concepts in recent scholarship, no introductory text on the subject of enchantment has yet been written. The first half of the book provides a concise overview of theoretical work on disenchantment, a critical exploration of empirical evidence for premodern enchantment and modern disenchantment, and an account of how enchantment has been used in scholarly and popular works to mark specific beliefs and practices as unacceptable, dangerous, or delusional. The second half of the book explores recent scholarship on re-enchantment and distinguishes between two main varieties: rational re-enchantment, which involves heightened emotions that are free from negative appraisals of premodern belief in magic and spirits, and spiritual re-enchantment, which involves the recovery of premodern beliefs and practices or the development of new alternative spiritual paths. The final chapter outlines a novel theoretical model for explaining modern enchantment as a variety of playful half-belief. This book will be useful for scholars and students working on a variety of topics including religion in modernity, theories of secularization, conflicts between science and religion, new religious movements, new materialisms, and immanent justifications for environmentalism.
Leaves from the Vine
When a tragic turn of events removes Pastor Jones from the pulpit, it's just the beginning of what will come to pass in Charlestown. While he recovers from a chronic heart attack, his son Jones Jr. fills in for him at the big church and uses his position as acting pastor to rebel against his father and influence the young folks to abandon their Christianity. Pastor Jones becomes outraged by his son's disobedience and gives him an ultimatum. Jones Jr. and his young followers decide to leave town on what they think is a freedom adventure.They find themselves lost, confused, and fighting to stay alive. The ones who die return to their home town as disgruntled spirits in search of retribution. They brought with them a generational curse of sexual deviance that threatened to destroy all of Charlestown. Meanwhile Jones Jr. believing that he is the only survivor, feels too much guilt to return home, and sets off to join his estranged Uncle Tom. To break the curse and keep it from passing on to the next generation, Pastor Jones, his son, and all the townsfolk must reclaim their faith, or make the ultimate sacrifice...My natal birth chart determined there were family secrets, which led me to research my family lineage. I discovered that my great, great grandfather was a Dutch slavemaster, a Pastor, and a Justice of the Peace. I suddenly realized that all the unusual stories I'd been writing were all about him and the people he'd encountered during his lifetime. How could this be? How could I know all thesedetails of his life so intuitively? These questions only led to more questions. The only obvious answer was that I was somehow "channeling" my ancestor(s), but why?After learning and practicing ancestor veneration, I began to understand the connection between me & the Dutchman. Throughout our family's generations he'd been seeking someoneto help him tell his stories, but none had accepted the task, until me. So now here I am, being his voice, revealing his secrets, and atoning for his sins.

The Simplified Short Bible
The Bible is considered the most profound collection of documents in all of history, and its messages and stories are still referenced today in the secular world. But it's long, complicated, hard to understand, and is not organized in chronological order.After author Dr. Peter Bylsma published The Short Bible, it became clear that a shorter version was needed that used simple language. This shorter Simplified version was written for those who are at least 10 years old and those with limited time. It summarizes all 66 books of the Old and New Testament in 24 short, easy-to-read chapters and captures the Bible's epic stories, characters, and main ideas. Structured like a modern book, it also includes a pronunciation guide as well as historical and geographical facts to help clarify the context of the events.The Simplified Short Bible is appropriate for those who are already familiar with the Bible but want a fresh look at its messages. Busy people who want to understand the stories and messages of the most read book of all time will also find it to be a thought-provoking read.
Image of God in the Person of Jesus
Our image of God reveals not only God's character, but our own.Who is Jesus? Is Jesus more immanent (human) or transcendent (divine)? Because we are created in the image of God and Jesus is divine, the church struggles to define Jesus. This impulse can be a genuine attempt to know God better or it can be an insidious attempt to create God in our own image. This struggle is often tinged with a bit of both.The Letter to the Church at Thessalonica was likely the first book written in the New Testament. In a literary sense, the implication is that the Apostle Paul is the father of the New Testament. Paul only knew the Risen Christ and, for him, the divinity of Christ was obvious. By contrast, the Gospels that record the humanity of Christ were written almost a generation later. Thus, the transcendence problem facing postmodern people that fixates on the humanity of Christ is relatively new.My recent book, Image and Illumination (2023), asked the question-What does it mean to be created in the image of God?- focused on Christian anthropology. Embedded in this question is the metaphysical question: Who is God? The New Testament addresses this question with three pictures of God: The person of Jesus, Jesus' teaching about God the Father in the parables, and the founding of the church on Pentecost by the Holy Spirit. In this book, I focus on the Image of God in the Person of Jesus.Hear the Words; Walk the Steps; Experience the Joy!
How My Mind Has Changed (or not)
This book represents the mature reflections of a pastor, theological thinker, church leader and theological educator after a lifetime of writing about and exploring he Christian faith. It remains firmly in the tradition of mainstream and orthodox theology while inhabiting the more radical end of the ecclecial spectrum. It does not seek to be systematic but takes the form of a series of 'blogs' on issues that are the primary concerns of the author, and perhaps of others. It could be of interest to those who hold fast firmly to Christ while wishing to address some of the more debated questions that faith inescapably raises.

"Theodore Richards . . . takes us on an epic journey . . . It is his journey and it is our journey. It is humanity's journey and though it necessarily includes the misery of cruelty and oppression, there is wisdom at work as well . . . Things could be so different. We wandered away from our African origins so many millennia ago, and though we have become lost and confused, the universe leaves clues everywhere. A new beginning is possible, a new feeling of the interconnectedness of all things is before us. Richards takes us on a journey into the edge of the universe which is the edge of the human being which is the edge of God." -Brian Swimme, author of The Universe Story, for Handprints on the Womb

Uncovering and Recognising Awareness
We have our own unique way to realise who we are, what our purpose is and how to find happiness. The question of 'Who we are inside' or 'Who am I' does not seem important to those who appear to have found happiness in the external world. Because they feel happy, they have no interest in searching further. The question of 'who am I' usually only comes to those who have suffered and who know the answer to finding happiness is somewhere inside. In trying to answer this question of 'who am I, ' first we have to ask and find out 'what we are not.' Eventually we see 'what we are not' is simply our thoughts, our ego. With determined questioning of 'Who' is asking, we may uncover and recognise ourself without thoughts, and see only one thing is left . . . our awareness of our true Self. Blissful though this may be for a time, this state of awareness is only temporary because our thoughts, our ego does not give up trying to hide the true inner Self we have seen and are now intermittently aware of. With continuing effort, uncovering who we are becomes present more of the time during our daily living. The experience of time without thoughts, of just awareness of being, becomes more frequent.

Tis Mercy All
'Natalie writes with the raw honesty and authenticity... This book will inspire and challenge you to rediscover that mercy is at the heart of our spiritual formation.'Olivia Amartey, ElimIn a world of polarising politics, cancel culture and social media virtue signalling, we risk losing any sense of what it means to have mercy. And yet Jesus calls us to 'be merciful, just as your Father is merciful' (Luke 6.36).In this thoughtful and practical book, Natalie Williams explores what it means to be a true mercy-bringer. First, we need to develop a deep appreciation of the mercy of God, which is more astonishing than we dare to believe. As the old hymn says, 'tis mercy all when it comes to God's dealings with his children. Once we have understood that, it will transform the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We will be drawn closer to Jesus and, as a result, we will reflect his mercy to a world that desperately needs it.'Challenging yet encouraging, moving yet refreshing, and theologically rich yet practically accessible.'Andrew Wilson, King's Church London'A much-needed book from an important voice for our times.'Graham Miller, London City MissionContentsIntroductionPart 1: 'A God Merciful'Part 2: Our struggle to 'love mercy'Part 3: Merciful thinkingPart 4: Merciful actionsConclusion
How God Got Mary Pregnant
How God Got Mary Pregnant is a look into the mechanics of how God went about doing a work that was good for humanity when humanity did not even know they needed what He was offering. And how He got Himself into a world that He was basically locked out of by carnal hostile thinking. Your spiritual salvation today is the end result of a long process that took 4000 years to establish and it happen 2000 years ago. God did not have the right to just do what He wanted to do for He had given the earth to mankind. So it was men, dead men, and women He had to work through to get what dead mankind needed into the earth. All the while, the dead men were being swayed as much as possible to think they were not dead and did not need what God was offering by our enemy Satan. I am talking of course of things that are spiritual, things we can't see until we look deep enough into the Bible to see past our doctrinal squabbles. How God got Mary pregnant transcends denominations in that as Christians we believe in Jesus and His finished work, this explains from behind the scenes what transpired to make that work happen.Jeremiah Southerman spent 55 years in the Bible. Being raised in the church and taught to be ready to give an answer to any who asks of the hope within. He has gone through the Bible cover to cover nearly 30 times and consumed parts of it in his study more than 150 times. It is his passion, not his vocation, so he does not have to please a congregation each week nor answer to a denominational headquarters to keep his job. His insight is not regulated by the restrictions of pleasing anyone but God. With no church to run, no tithes needed, no offering plate to pass, he does not depend on tip-toeing on your emotions.

There was only one perfect man who ever lived
It was eccentrically dark as a thunderstorm blew in from the sea. Three crosses were silhouetted against a pitch-black sky. When suddenly the clash of thunder shook the cobblestone streets of the old city of Jerusalem and a flash of lighting cut the sky like a stiletto of fire. The rain poured down in a torrent of expression. Frightened women took their small children by the hand and ran back to the city. Every eye was trained upon the man that hung on the middle cross. They secretly thought, "What will He say?" Then He opened His mouth and instead of spewing vile and venom of hateful vengeance. Jesus spoke of grace, love and forgiveness. A new era had dawned at a place called Calvary.

Worth Celebrating
An unknown author writes an unlikely book and inadvertently sparks an improbable global movement.The manuscript was written longhand on a yellow pad in a small Oregon town by a Quaker pastor describing twelve ancient Christian disciplines (the very definition of the term "unlikely"). But publishers at Harper & Row saw something special in what Richard Foster had written and took a risk.The movement kindled by the book developed slowly, almost imperceptibly. But once it caught hold, it exploded into flame.Celebration of Discipline was conceived during a period in history that Charles Dickens might describe as being the best of times and the worst of times. From its inception, American culture had been linked to Christian faith and values. We were "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The 1950s and early '60s saw the peak years of American churchgoing, when 70 percent of citizens attended church. But as the decade of the '60s stretched on, values and perspectives that had long been accepted as foundational to American faith and life began to come into question.When Celebration of Discipline spotlighted the superficiality that had come to characterize Christianity, it ignited the spiritual formation movement by prescribing the ancient spiritual practices as the necessary corrective. Michael Maudlin, religion publisher at HarperCollins, acknowledges, "People do not remember how Christians thought about spiritual formation in Christ before Celebration of Discipline was published. Most everybody now thinks it is natural for evangelicals to practice spiritual Disciplines. But it was not always so. Celebration of Discipline serves as a wonderful window into how a book can change a subculture."This is the story of that book.
Random Walks In Solitude
Random Walks In SolitudeGlimpses of Religion and Spirituality through the Eyes of Modern Science The 'Random Walks in Solitude: Glimpses of Religion and Spirituality through the Eyes of Modern Science' is a collection of articles published by the author since 2006 AD. The topics include some of the most complex and enigmatic subjects as 'Concept of Prana', 'Universal Consciousness', 'Scientific basis of Samudra Manthan the Proverbial Churning of Cosmic Ocean', 'Lord Dattatreya', 'Ardha-Nari-Nateshwara' and 'Science behind 'Yogic Samadhi'. While doing so, the author does not claim that his interpretations on some of these enigmatic concepts are exactly true, but in the absence of any serious attempt done so far, they feel refreshing and he has attempted to re-validate religion and spirituality on scientific logic and reasons. Otherwise, we as a community were just holding them dear to our hearts for thousands of years as fanciful stories. These concepts were conceived and described by our ancient 'Rishis' in native terminologies and language and since then, have remained a part of our psyche in our life. Today, as professional scientists, we need to re-look to these concepts afresh from modern scientific perspective, identify and correlate them with current scientifically analogous terminologies, without losing their original perceptive meaning, they conveyed to our minds. In this respect, the logical scientific interpretations of the concepts of 'Soul', 'Rebirth', 'Work' and the 'Law of Karma', published earlier by the author, have received considerable attention and appreciation. In the same spirit, the author hopes that the readers would find this book also equally interesting, innovative, refreshing and scientifically logical to realize the continued relevance of the 'Sanatan Vedic Philosophy' even in the twenty first century.

Natural Science arose in the cultural setting of Christian Europe. Those first scientists at the dawn of the modern age, were spiritually trained mystic Monks of Christian Church Natural Science is mysteriously intertwined with the riddles of the Soul, and Christianity. The search for the meaning of life and the soul became bound up with debates over atoms and molecules and ended there. Times changed and the search for the soul was obscured by the uncertainty of the findings of natural science which eventually pervaded everything, including the teachings of Christianity. The Spiritual Body of Man, and his Christology was cast into shadow by the new Light of natural science, and Eden faded into man's dreams. Is there a secret mystery teaching hidden in the discoveries of the natural sciences that relates to the search for the Soul, Man's spiritual body, and the secrets of Christianity? Tazo takes up these threads of thought to reveal a concealed Teaching of the Spirit that goes back to ancient times. Follow along as Tazo shows the hidden connection of the Ancient Teachings to unlock the deepest secrets of the natural world. "Our science must lead the way, must prepare for what has to happen with the bodily essence in the future.

Mysticism in the Reformation (1500-1650) 1500-1650
Mysticism in the Reformation, Part I of Volume 6 of The Presence of God Series, is the first full account of the role of the mystical element of Christianity in the Reformers who broke with Rome in the period 1500-1650. Although some modern Protestant theologians tried to distance the Reformation from any contact with mysticism, recent scholarship, by both Protestants and Catholics, has shown that Protestant mysticism is an important part of the heritage of the Reformation. After an "Introduction" surveying modern disputes about the nature of the Reformation and the Catholic reaction to it (both Catholic Reform and Counter-Reformation), Chapter One deals with how the pioneering Reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin reacted to the heritage of Christian mysticism, concentrating on Luther's complicated relation to mystical traditions. Chapter Two turns to the role of mysticism in select "Radical Reformers" of the sixteenth century, who created models of interior mystical religion that continued to have an effect over the centuries. Chapter Three analyzes the writings of the two most famous Lutheran mystics of the early seventeenth century, Johann Arndt and Jacob Boehme, whose impact in later Western religious traditions has been both powerful and controversial. Finally, Chapter Four considers the significance of mysticism in the English Reformation, both among those who accepted the Elizabethan Settlement that established the Anglican Church, as well as with the dissident Puritans who rejected it.
Transformed by Jesus Christ Alone who is the Grace of God
This book is about the Bible, and it's about God who wrote the Bible. The book speaks directly to the reader about the relationship between a holy God and a sinful human race. Its intention is to steer its readers to read and study the Scriptures for they are which that testify of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who alone is able to take away the sins of the world, for whosoever will accept the gift of eternal life through salvation by Jesus Christ. The Bible says that there is no other name under heaven given among mankind by which we can be saved. The Bible is where the answers to the issues of life are found and describes the true nature of mankind. The book highlights, from the Bible, who we are in the eyes of God and who He has created us to be. It seeks to motivate its readers to examine their lives in light of what the Bible has to say about humanity and its relevance to current events. It is a book written to help us think about what is mankind's purpose on this earth, based on teachings found only in the Word of God. The book lets us know that the Bible teaches that each one of us can do great things with the help of God, who strengthens and guides everyone that believes that the Lord is mighty and awesome. He is patient and kind. He is very forgiving and compassionate. He is not willing that anyone should perish for the wages of their sins. But His patience will not last for forever. God has set a judgement day to judge every human being who has ever lived regarding their condition as an unrepentant sinner. One of the book's main purposes is to also challenge its readers to look in the mirror of God's Word to see who we really are in the eyes of God and what each person must do to be saved from eternal destruction.
