Sacred Time
Something I hear from people often is, "I need more time," but what I really think they want is space. More room to focus, rest, or see. I think to myself, "If you had more time you would get more things done, but how do you know that if you had more time you wouldn't just wind up with more to do?" When the center of your life is a to-do list, you don't do it, it does you. You're a taskmaster, a go-getter, a professional doer and life is an endless list. Get dinner. Finish report. Tell your child, "I love you." Make appointment. Make margarita. Update your phone. Make another margarita. This is no way to live a rich life because you wind up thinking the purpose of your life is to check everything off the list, but in reality, your identity gets so caught up in the checking, that when it's done, you realize it's really just yourself that's been crossed off. It's hard to just be, slow down, and create some breathing room. Sacred time is not centered in to-do lists but in our own becoming. Sacred time is life centered on soul. It's room to not know what's going to happen. Room for spontaneity and creativity. Room for genuine affection. Room to step into the mystery to experience it, not solve it.

Still Waters Run Deep
This book brings together theologians, clergy, people with dementia, carers, clinicians and others to offer a holistic, interdisciplinary exploration of dementia which focuses not only on what dementia is and what it is not, but more importantly, what it means to live well with dementia and to find hope where sometimes it feels like there is no hope.Located within practical theology and theological anthropology, the diversity of perspectives on dementia presented in this book offers deep insights into what it means to be a human being, to live humanly in the midst of difficult situations, and helps us understand and navigate the complexities of the dementia journey. In offering foundational practical and theoretical knowledge, the book helps cut through the false consciousness of modernity and enter a world where personhood is defined not by our capacities or the loss of them, but by God's loving presence. It offers a contextual theological framework to look beyond what we assume to be obvious and to recognize the "hidden" depths that can be discovered and encountered within individuals as they journey into dementia. In doing so, it takes seriously the lived experience of people with dementia and allows that to shape, form, and perhaps reform our understandings of God, human beings, and what it means to live well. Taken as a whole, the book posits that together, we can reflect upon and act out a hopeful future that makes people's lives meaningful, purposeful and loving even in the midst of the challenges that Dementia brings. Still Waters Run Deep will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of theology, divinity and religious studies, gerontology, psychology, mental health, and nursing. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging.

Changing Cultures of Ageing and Spirituality
This book addresses important issues of ageing and spirituality and reflects on the impact of culture on both constructs. The papers are contemporary in that they include excerpts of cultural impact on spirituality from New Zealand, Singapore, India, United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. This book marks almost 20 years of international conferences on ageing and spirituality that commenced in January 2000. It opens the conversation to all who were part of this journey of ageing, including older people, practitioners in ageing and aged care, researchers, and those who reflect on the process of growing older. Chapters feature diverse perspectives, highlighting the need for inclusivity in conversations that surround ageing and recognize how development of cultures is influenced by the society where they emerge, and by minority groups within larger society. Chapters also note the occurrence of subcultures of ageing and aged care. The conference was held shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the chapters being written often during times of lockdown. Their content reflects the importance of spirituality in times of isolation and can show ways of reaching out to vulnerable older people, of various faiths and cultures, whatever their situations.Changing Cultures of Ageing and Spirituality will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Theology, Divinity and Religious Studies, Gerontology, Sociology, Psychology, Mental Health, and Nursing. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging.

The Fearless Companion
Mohammad L. Raja has taken 15 years to research the history and lives of all the prophets who have been mentioned in the Quaran. He uses texts from the Qaran, the Hadith, the Taura, The book of David, the Old and New Testament Bibles, old history books and Ibin e Kaseer to gather information on each and every prophet, writing as full an account of their history as possible. He writes in the belief that all the Prophets are guided by Allah and Allah says 'follow their ways'; but in order to follow them fully, we first must fully understand their history and the texts in which they exist. Thus, his mind filled with knowledge, he felt the need to share his work, in the belief that everyone, no matter what belief, should use this book as a resource. Mohammad asks you to read the book from beginning to end, and if it has added to your knowledge, pray for him.
A Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles
In the publication The Acts of the Apostles, Luke wrote to assure Theophilus of "the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed" (Lk. 1:4). Theophilus was likely a Gentile convert to Christianity, and Luke aimed to provide him with a deeper understanding of Christian origins than he previously had. This included the story of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and the establishment and expansion of the church.Strictly speaking, Luke did not write a comprehensive history of the early church. This isn't to suggest his narrative is unhistorical or inaccurate. However, a historian's role is to provide a complete account of all significant facts, which Luke did not attempt. For example, he says nothing about the churches in Galilee (Acts 9:31), or the evangelization of Egypt and Rome. His account isn't about all the apostles either-only Peter, James, and John are mentioned, and the latter two only briefly. In reality, the book of Acts focuses on the acts of Peter and Paul.Moreover, Peter is almost entirely absent from the narrative after Cornelius' conversion, leaving us to wonder what became of him. Luke also provides no explanation of the rise of church elders (11:30), how James came to lead the Jerusalem church (15:13), or what Paul did in Tarsus after his conversion (9:30; 11:25). He glosses over some events in a few words (18:19-23), while others are described in detail (21:17-26:32). Essentially, Luke isn't writing a "history" but telling a story. His story outlines the church's growth from Jerusalem to Rome through Samaria, Antioch, Asia, and Europe, with Peter and Paul as the key figures. The ministry of other apostles elsewhere is not relevant to Luke's narrative.Two themes drive the story of the church's expansion: the Jews' rejection of the Gospel and the Gentiles' acceptance of it, as well as how the early church was treated by local and Roman authorities. Luke's purpose in his two-volume work (Luke-Acts) is to explain to Theophilus how the Gospel, which began with the promise of Israel's kingdom restoration (Lk 1:32, 33), ended with the Gentile church in Rome, distinct from Judaism.Judaism was a religion recognized by Rome, and the new Christian fellowship, though it emerged from Judaism, gained similar recognition. Consequently, Christianity became established as a legitimate religion in the Roman world, distinct from Judaism.The book of Acts concludes with the statement that the salvation of God is now sent to the Gentiles, who will listen. The last eight chapters, covering over a quarter of the book, detail Paul's experiences in Jerusalem and his journey to Rome. This raises the question: Why did Luke devote so much space to these events when he summarized equally important ones in just a few words? The answer lies in one of Luke's main purposes: to show that just as the Jewish nation rejected Jesus as Messiah and sent him to the cross, the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem and Rome confirmed their apostasy by rejecting Paul and his gospel.

Sacred Consciousness
During the world's Dark Age, three English children live in a rural Tibetan village; their identities lost, their early memories with their parents in faded scattered pieces. Grace, on a dawn ride across the Tibetan planes, stumbles across a sacred scroll, hidden for centuries, and intended to reveal to its finder, the knowledge of the New Age. When the safety of their village life is threatened by a dark master, the three children are compelled to leave their beloved home and recover their lost past. The prophecy of the coming of the New Age threatens the established power and the children find themselves hunted. Their search for the all-knowing Meditation Master who may hold the key to their fate, takes them on a journey of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and a quest to understand the message of the scroll, and more importantly who they are.
My Pilgrim Soul
My name is Amanda Encina, I invite you to embark on a mystical journey through my book, based on true events.Have you ever considered that we might live more than once, traveling across time and space? I propose that we are Pilgrim Souls, evolving through the experiences of the third dimension.In this journey, we may encounter other lifetimes at different epochs-what we refer to as past lives. Some suggest these experiences could be multidirectional, as time may not be linear.This book shares my personal story. Through vivid dreams, I glimpsed past lives that brought forth intense nightmares and anxiety. Seeking answers, I consulted a psychologist specializing in past life regression therapy, trained in England, who, through induced regressions, confirmed my dreams were echoes of previous incarnations. I discovered one life in the 1850s as a woman in the English countryside and another in 1948 as a politician in Turkey.Years prior, I experienced a near-death experience that I recount in detail. This spiritual journey through the tunnel between life and death transformed me, altering my perception of reality and deepening my appreciation for life.In addition to my personal story, this book explores themes such as soul reunions, soul families, soul mates, twin flames, dharmic and karmic relationships, and spiritual healing.I hope that this book will contribute to your personal and spiritual growth. By sharing my experiences, I aim to awaken consciousness and remind us that "we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, with the body as merely a vehicle." Through these pages, I invite you to connect with the spiritual and magical realms within, guiding you toward a rediscovery of your essence.

Mystical Recognition Gnoseology and Philosophical Relevance of the 'Mystical Relation'
Mystical Recognition relies on the insights of Albrecht's earlier study Psychology of Mystical Consciousness, which are applied here to the critical analysis of a representative corpus of mystical texts-about 100 testimonies of numerous Christian and non-Christian mystics across cultural and historical traditions. Mystical Recognition aims at exploring the 'ontic fundament' by which the psychological phenomena and responses are elicited in a mystical event. While conceding that an individual mystical experience is largely imbued with the beliefs and suppositions that a mystic holds prior to a mystical experience, Albrecht insists that a genuine mystical experience will always impart some impact and cognitive insight that cannot reasonably be accounted for from the subject's prior knowledge or the subjective domain of his/her consciousness. Any genuine mystical event is caused by an 'impact' imposed from beyond the confines of the individual self and thus the manifestation of a living 'mystical relation' between the experiencer and the 'All-encompassing. The discovery that the 'mystical relation' is an existential facticity and, as such, an 'ultimate phenomenon' (i.e. a phenomenon that 'is'-like 'life, ' 'spirit, ' or 'love'-but which cannot be rationally explained or traced to a known source) is a unique pioneering achievement and provides a new epistemological foundation for the understanding of the spiritual nature of man. In the final chapter, Albrecht juxtaposes his findings of his analyses of the corpus of mystical records and of several original accounts of mystical experience (including his own) critically to the conception of human 'Dasein' as outlined by Heidegger's and Binswanger's 'hermeneutics of Dasein, ' resulting in the claim that man is endowed with the capacity of 'openness' which enables him/her to perceive and respond to phenomena of 'transcendental Reality' 'arriving' in his/her consciousness.
The Solution?
Julius Caesar Augustus, founder of the early Roman Empire, replaced the estate of the late Roman Republic and raised taxes in conjunction with the glorious incarnation of Christ. Christ's ministry lasted the few days of three and a half years, culminating in his atoning death for the kingdom of sinful human nature. Humanity in faith was individually summoned to accept Christ as the antitypical lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world in fulfillment of Gen. 3:15. Systems of faith/belief arms would develop for believers to join. Wars of words broke out between churches and civil states regarding the nature of Christ and other traditions. Some systems of faith/ belief operated within the Ten Commandments hedge, while others did not. Roman Catholicism did not operate within that hedge, disregarding the fourth commandment, thus showing contempt for the law. Believers in the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation eras broke away from the Roman Catholic Church system to follow Bible truth, causing people to give their lives and even die for their faith.

A B C Doxology
"A B C Doxology" (doxology, meaning a short hymn of praise), is an alliterated alphabet intertwined with Psalm 148, ornamented with creatures expressing, each in turn, their awe toward each other and their Maker who vows to preserve them. Altogether, they recall and rejoice in the promise of God that he will send a Deliverer, and that His universe will never be destroyed. This book is for either children or adults, with curious words and animals, flowers, birds, minerals, and other objects corresponding to each letter. Although an alphabet picture-book, the vocabulary and images are appropriate for advanced readers for a few minutes of respite. Non-readers naturally respond to the images in the book with 'point-to' games. The appendix features a list of visual devices, many used to design the letter paintings, which may be of interest to artists and designers. The book's font, Fifteen 36, was created by Graham Blakelock of York, England, who was inspired by 16th century Roman book texts.The original paintings featured in the book were hand-painted by the artist with gouache.

The New Gospel of the Kingdom According to Saint Mark (Latest Edition)
This book is an exciting, concise, and complete presentation of the gospel of the kingdom. It is an insightful update and upgrade of the gospel of the kingdom according to Saint Mark, which is the shortest of the four gospels. Many are trying to spread the gospel of the kingdom by providing lost souls copies of the whole Bible. This is like giving a hungry baby a porterhouse steak to eat. Of course, the baby cannot handle it. Others pass out tracts or pamphlets, which fail to give our Savior all the credit for all he has done. This work gives the whole story of his life, teachings, sacrifice, and victory over death. It will be a powerful tool for those dedicated to spreading the gospel of the kingdom to all nations. The goal of this book is to bring reverence, respect, and honor to the name of our Lord and Savior. It lifts him as our king onEarth as he will be lifted as King of kings in Heaven. It uses his Hebrew name and identifies him as King Yeshua. Several years ago, someone asked, "Why do you Christians obey and worship someone who is at most a Jewish Rabbi?" Sadly, there was no satisfactory answer for him. A careful study of the four gospel reveals that none of them directly identifies the Savior as a king. The wise men recognized his royalty at his birth, when they presented him royal gifts and worshipped him. Finally, at his crucifixion in defiance of his enemies, Pilate recognized his kingship at his death. His enemies did everything they could to deny his kingship. This book gives him the crown they did not want him to have. It acknowledges his kingship and refuses to let them win. No, we do not obey and worship a Jewish Rabbi. We obey and worship King Yeshua, who is the Son of God, the King of kings, the malik Almuluk, Wan wang Zhi wang, Hari ng mga Hari, Roi des Rois, K繹nig der K繹nige, Raja'o nō rājā, raajaon ke raja, ō no nakanoo, wang jung wang, rei dos reis, Korol' Koroley, Rey de Reyes, raja raja, Mfalme wa Wafalme, and vua của c獺c vị vuayenegesitati nigusi. He is the King of kings.

A Prophet's Journey through Midnight
Mickarl D. Thomas Sr. chronicles the challenges he's overcome in A Prophet's Journey through Midnight. As an asthmatic child, he lost two brothers before being born and was left to wonder why he was spared. While he grew up with loving parents and siblings, his father was illiterate. More challenges would loom-none worse than the death of his son, Mikey, at age seventeen. The words, "Mikey was killed," reverberate in his soul every day.When he received the news, he fell on his knees before throwing an exercise machine at the bedroom window. Then he tried to jump. His harrowing journey also involved a divorce, a battle with prostate cancer, and contending with the death of his parents.In this book, he shares the pain of going through so many ordeals and also looks back at the obstacles he overcame during forty-five years in pastoral ministry.

Revelation of God
This is about the King period of Israel and the days of the prophets. Besides the various English versions, many might have heard about but know little about the various versions in their original languages. The Masoretic Text (Hebrew version) is known as the mainstay of the Hebrew scholars. There is the Septuagint or the Greek version of the Bible, the Latin Vulgate and finally, the Samaritan Text. The serious Bible student may have heard about these but has little capability to explore these different versions. Each of these versions has expert translations into English, so it is no longer necessary to spend years learning the different "source" languages of the Bible. This work supplies the King James verse along with the same verse from different translators.This work is intended to convert the casual reader of the Bible into a more serious reader intent on understanding the overall Plan of God, His works, and His purpose for mankind. It includes commentary on different subjects covered but not explained in the Bible, such as Bride Price. Few understand why Rachel did not have Joseph until the end of the 14 years of labor of Jacob. This explains the reason God held off giving Rachel a child until the end of the 14 years. There are archaeological sources and documents that give evidence about the different events of the Bible. The autobiography of Nebuchadnezzar goes a long way into telling details of his rule that are left out of conventional history. The many Eponym Lists of the Assyrians. The Sumerian King List shows the different ruling dynasties of the Babylonians and there are various sources for Egyptian Dynasties as well, such as the Turin Canon. If you want to know more about God, then this will help aid in a quest for truth.
