Catechism for the New Dispensation
The great majority of people who call themselves Christians, Moslems and Jews really do not believe in their religion. The pseudo-solution that most people adopt is to either shut up or quit the church and renounce God. Rejoice in your disillusionment! To all of those people who are disillusioned with their traditional, conventional religion, we say to them, "Rejoice!" You are closer to God than those who have tried to inculcate in you the old tradition. Open yourself to who God really is and consider what the meaning of your life is supposed to be. Consider the following points: (1) God wants you to be happy. (2) He is not interested in your saying Jesus or Adonai or whatever other little superstitions that were developed and adhered to by your religion of origin. If He were to want this, it would constitute an ego trip which is reminiscent of the devil a lot more than of God. Think about it. Wouldn't you say so?

The Holy Spirit & the Resurrection Power God’s Ability That Dwells in Man
When a person dies, the body of that person remains on earth such that those who are still on earth can be able to see it, but they cannot be able to see where the spirit of that person has gone. Which means that though the body of that person may still be seen on earth but the person himself which is the spirit has departed from that body. And so this tells us that a person is not the body that we see with our physical eyes but rather a person is the spirit, inside that body, that we cannot see with our physical eyes. This is the reason why when the spirit departs from that body, the body of that person is said to be dead because the real person who was in that body, has departed from that body. What I want to say is that the real Jesus was not the body which the 12 disciples used to see on earth but rather the real Jesus was the Spirit inside that body which physical eyes could not see. When Jesus died He resurrected from the dead and went to heaven and gave us His Spirit. As the bible Galatians 4:6 says, "Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!'" and so this means that if we have received the Spirit of the Son of God, Jesus, then we are still with the real Jesus. It's therefore not about being with the fleshly form Jesus, but it's about being with Christ who was in that fleshly form of Jesus, it's about being with the Spirit of the same Jesus. Because it is not the body of Jesus which is the real Jesus, it is the Spirit of Jesus that was in that body which is the real Jesus. That is why in John 14:17-18 Jesus said "17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." And so Jesus was trying to tell his disciples that He was that Spirit that was currently abiding 'with them', in fleshly form, but shall soon begin to dwell 'in them', in spirit form. And then He continued and said in verse 18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." This tells us that if we must walk with the Holy Spirit Who Himself is Christ, we must therefore be very sensitive to acknowledge His presence just like we can be able to acknowledge the presence of a fellow human been. The same way He used to walk with His deciples before He died, doing miracles and instructing them on what to do, is the same way He is desiring to walk with anyone who recognizes His presence in that same capacity. Even scripture refers to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Jesus in Acts 16:7, when it says, "When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to." He is the same Jesus in the person of the Holy Spirit. This book was therefore written in order to help us walk with Him.

?y?mi-?j矇 Our Mothers
The Divinity Od羅 and ?y?mi ?ṣ簷r簷ng? are the highest forms of female power and Divine ?ṣẹ. They are the owners of a potent energy that can only be compared to that of the Supreme God Ol籀d羅mar癡-Ọl籀簷run and of Orisha ?ṣ羅. No other Yor羅b獺 deity has more power over procreation than the Divinity Od羅 and ?y?mi ?ṣ簷r簷ng?. All ?j矇 women on Earth are their subordinates and make use of their intensely unique ?ṣẹ powers which was given to them by Ol籀d羅mar癡-Ọl籀簷run at the time of creation.Given our times and the crises we face, the power of women and what they represent today is more evident than ever. This work reflects not only the power of the Divinity Od羅, ?y?mi ?ṣ簷r簷ng?, and ?j矇 but also their presence and influence in our daily lives; what they have represented in the past, in the present, and what they will continue to represent in the future.The mythical aspect of the Divinity Od羅, ?y?mi ?ṣ簷r簷ng?, and ?j矇 has become a current topic of many books. In this work, the author included 40 ?t?ns to give the reader a small window into the mythical realm of these Powerful Divinities. Following the ?t?ns, there is a look into the G癡l矇d矇 Rituals and Societies of Western Nigeria and K矇tu. It is followed by the topics of ?j矇 Sorceresses, examples of Or穩k穫 Praises to ?y?mi-?j矇-Ẹlẹyẹ and the Divinity Od羅, Sacrifices, 236 Sacred Leaves, 15 Sacred Trees, 21 Sacred Birds, the Orishas and ?y?mi-?j矇, the Od羅-If獺 and ?y?mi-?j矇, ?簷g羅n: Yor羅b獺 Magical Medicines, a few examples of ?y?mi-?j矇 ?簷g羅n Works and Ọf簷 Incantations, Power and Rituals, Symbols, Names of ?y?mi, Sacred Rivers, and The Hunting of ?j矇 by the malicious Atinga Society.

The book closes with the Conclusion and a Selected Glossary of Yor羅b獺 words and topics.In ?y?mi-?j矇 Our Mothers: Owners of the Womb of the World, author Alex Cuoco shares forty stories of the powerful Yor羅b獺 sorceresses ?y?mi-?j矇, from how they created the world to how they continue to use their powers to benefit humanity.Speaking directly to those descended from the peoples of West Africa, Cuoco shares what he learned from studying Yor羅b獺 Indigenous and traditional religious cultures for forty-five years, including seventeen years living and traveling in West Africa and throughout the African continent.He does this to combat the large amount of misleading information on the internet about the ?y?mi-?j矇 and to help readers understand the true nature of West African rituals and worship practices, based on his own firsthand experiences of them.

A Simpler Path Via Julian of Norwich and Marcus Aurelius
'A Simpler Path' springs from the belief that organised religion, particularly that of Christianity, has become over- complicated and burdened by theology and doctrine which actually hinder our spiritual growth. As a solution to this problem, two alternatives are offered. The first is to be found in the writings of the Fourteenth Century mystic, Dame Julian of Norwich; the second, in the Second Century "Meditations " of Marcus Aurelius. Though springing from different sources, I believe that both these alternatives chart a simpler path to self- enlightenment and may be of some help in achieving this goal. A retired history teacher, David Conduct now lives in Durham where he taught for over 20 years. When not writing, he can be found busking from home @ durham-busker on Twitter and YouTube.
Ten Commandments For Sunday School Servants
Ten Commandments For Sunday School Servants, by Hegumen Antonios Ragheb, a man whose ecclesial identity, theological acumen, and selfless service in theological education and pastoral care spanned over five decades in both Egypt and the United States of America, contextualizes and lays the framework for the proper approach to the service of Sunday School, and, more generally, of teaching in the Church. The Very Reverend Hegumen Antonios Ragheb was born Labib Ragheb Fahmy in Shubra, Egypt on April 4, 1921. After graduating from the University of Cairo in 1943, he joined the Theological Seminary in Mahmasha in 1948, and subsequently served as the Sunday School Trustee of St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church in Shubra, Egypt. On May 28, 1972, he became the first person ordained to the priesthood by the late His Holiness Pope Shenouda III. In 1978, Fr. Antonios was sent to serve various churches in the United States, after which he was entrusted to permanently shepherd the congregation of St. George and St. Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church in Jersey City, NJ in 1985. He faithfully served this community until September 3, 1999, on which date he departed in peace.

As readers immerse themselves in the pages of "Shinto," they are transported to sacred shrines, where the ethereal whispers of kami, the divine spirits, resonate through ancient forests and sacred groves.More than a scholarly examination, "Shinto" is an invitation to explore the profound interplay between the tangible and the transcendent, the seen and the unseen.

Naturally Miraculous
Can Christianity experience a twenty-first-century renaissance? Can it again serve as a welcoming home for authentic Truth seekers who aspire to genuine spiritual and mystical experience? Naturally Miraculous describes the path of bringing this long-sought objective into being. First, it contains a strong refutation of today's sectarian, orthodox Christianity and argues for a return to what Christianity originally was before the rise of Roman Catholicism, when it was the more mystical, Universalist religion Jesus intended it to be. Second, it examines mysticism and cosmic consciousness from the theological, philosophical, and psychological perspectives and how it has been a part of humanity's spiritual quest and religious cultures, particularly Christianity, throughout history. It ultimately describes a new way of being Christian, a way in which we are to follow the example of Jesus and take the path he describes to the kingdom of God, which is the attainment of Christ consciousness or mystical realization. In Naturally Miraculous, we see how achieving the consciousness of Christ has been humanity's ultimate purpose all along.
The Way of St. Francis
A way of life both stimulating and troubling This is the way of life St. Francis shows us. It asks that we look again at the possibilities within us and around us and see Francis's life and examples as a way of embracing our "dark side," of reconciling the opposites in ourselves and the world. The Way of St. Francis offers all Christians a guide to following the spirituality of the beloved saint from Assisi. Father Murray Bodo challenges himself and us with a renewed understanding of Francis--to whom we turn again and again in interpreting our own human experience and our experience of God. We reflect on the saint's ways of "letting go," of achieving poverty, of simplicity and non-violence, of entering all creatures. Franciscan spirituality is no different from any other Christian spirituality, observes Bodo. But the way that Francis lives the Gospel has an irresistible attraction for all. "Francis makes me feel loved; he makes me feel that I matter," the author writes. "That is the power he exercises over us...and that is why so many look to him as the model of what they, too, can be." This is a book for all spiritual seekers and lovers of St. Francis--a man who has inspired millions for over eight centuries.

Soham Gita
I am constantly saying - my and mine, but who am I? Am I the body or the mind? What is consciousness - the awareness of my existence that creates the feeling that "I exist". From where did my consciousness arise? Is it a property of my body or mind? Or, is it beyond my body and mind? What is my relationship with this world? From where did I come, and where will I depart after death? What are the need for religion, God, scripture, temples, idols, worship, and the different modes of spiritual pursuits? Can they unravel my reality? Why do I suffer? How can I find bliss? Soham Gita answers these questions and more in a simple language in the light of Advaitavada, the universal wisdom of non-duality. It dispels superstitions and challenges religious orthodoxy and fanaticism. Soham Gita is the first written work of Soham Swami. It was written in verses in Bengali, the native tongue of the author.

Two Pearls of Unimaginable Price Jesus's victory over death at Golgotha is a well-known pearl of his Gospel. What is less understood is how Christ also defeated hell in Gethsemane. In John's Witness, author Ian R. Harvey illuminates this missing pearl to deepen our understanding of God's boundless love. John was the sole eyewitness to the events in Gethsemane, and yet his own pearl of the account is altogether absent from his Gospel. In piecing together John's missing story, we structurally rely on nested flashbacks to Gethsemane during John's anxious dash to visit Jesus's empty tomb on that third day. We learn with John as he ponders Gethsemane's deep meaning. The biblical angel there provides him with added context and special visions of Eden that clarify Jesus's atoning work. Because of Eden we must have Gethsemane. Without Gethsemane there could be no Golgotha.
