The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Early in 1813, doctors discovered stigmata on Emmerich's body. Her parish priest summoned two doctors to examine her. Three months later, when knowledge of the anomaly spread, he informed the vicar general. With the news making a stir in town, the ecclesiastical authorities launched an extensive investigation. Many doctors wanted to investigate the case, and despite efforts to deter the curious, some visitors got entrance because of their rank or status. During this time, the poet and romanticist Clemens Brentano made his first visit. Emmerich claimed that as a child, she had visions in which she spoke with Jesus, saw people in purgatory, and saw the core of the Holy Trinity in the form of three concentric, interpenetrating complete spheres. The largest but dimmest sphere symbolized the Father core, the medium was the Son's core, and the smallest and brightest was the Holy Spirit's core. Each sphere of the omnipresent God extends to infinity beyond heaven's core. According to the Brentano compilation, a child (believed to be Jesus) visited Emmerich during her childhood illness and taught her about plants she should take to heal, including Morning Glory flower juice, which contains ergine.

Escaping Spiritual Oblivion
We live in a world of oblivion, a world of nothingness. Most of us are aware of "human consciousness" that includes an awareness of material and personal conditions and crises. Dr. Cosenza exposes the source and dimensions this false reality that pervades our lives. He is referring to "spiritual oblivion", a forgetfulness or unawareness of one's true inherent spiritual consciousness. There is a spiritual world and a material world. Neither world collides or can be inhabited at the same time. One world, the spiritual, is real; the other is material, is untrue and flawed. We cannot live in both levels of consciousness. True spiritual consciousness began with God who created man in His own image, which is Spirit. There are material pressures that can cause us to remain in spiritual oblivion. To escape the unrealities of oblivion, God alone provides ways to grow in consciousness and to reclaim the consciousness we had since He first created us. In his seventh book, Escaping Spiritual Oblivion: Reclaiming True Consciousness, Dr. Cosenza reveal truths of spiritual consciousness, the spiritual values that help us to maintain this consciousness and the false dimensions of spiritual oblivion that threaten to keep us from a life more abundant. Ten specific subtypes of oblivion are presented and evaluated in line with the scriptures. Gently and systematically, Dr. Cosenza guides us back to the real world of spirituality that is opposite what we know to be material or even spiritual-like. Reclaiming a higher place of consciousness enables us to renew our love and care of Almighty God and the values He cherishes for us.
The Unity of the Holy Spirit
This is the third book by the author. This book, The Unity of the Holy Spirit, is very unique in the author's approach. He uses what he observes in 1 John to discover a key to recognizing and achieving unity and fellowship. That key in 1 John revolves around "all or none" type statements. What do those statements tell us? Like John's theme in his letter, it answers the question - "How do you know you have fellowship with the Father and with the Son?" These "all or none" statements of John tell us one is either "in or they are out," "in fellowship or not," "you know God or you do not," "you are saved or you are not." In the statements of John, there is no middle ground. For example, John says "Except you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins." He says - "He who does not have the Son of God does not have life." This author proposes these various "all or none" type statements throughout the New Testament are the basis of what Christians must agree on. These statements are revealed truth that we must stand on. There is no compromise with these and be a Christian. The author also addresses "issues" that divide churches. He proposes that we do not have to agree on "disputable matters," Rom.14:1. These "issues", though they have divided Christians for hundreds of years into over four hundred denominations, are not necessary to divide over, and it destroys the unity and effectiveness of Christians. These disputable "issues" that Paul speaks of and many more the churches divide over are a matter of individual growth and understanding in one's Christian journey of faith. We should not "Lord it over another's faith." "To his master he stands or falls." We all need time to grow and understand things throughout life. Some of these "issues" can be very serious, and sometimes can rise to the level of a need for church discipline. But, for the most part, we should not stand as judges over our brothers because we disagree over an issue. Nor should we part ways. Christians are to help each other, be patient with each other and longsuffering. Finally, there are several chapters in the book that address several aspects of unity - the attitudes and qualities that help produce unity, those who cause disunity, approaches to unity, and what is true unity and what is not. These and more are topics addressed in the book. The book is written to give churches a practical and scriptural way to approach unity. It is very different from the many creeds, church rules, and traditions that are offered as the approach to unity of churches. Churches offer a very legalistic approach that demands conformity to their beliefs to be a member, to teach or to lead in their church. Such an approach demands conformity to a particular denomination's views and following their creeds, rather than allowing the Spirit to help the individual Christian grow and learn God's will. The growth and beliefs of individual Christians have been hi-jacked by the various well-meaning but biased denominations. This new book is very challenging to the traditions and approaches of denominations. Unity is not realized by them. They are divisions of believers that cannot fellowship each other, nor can they work together. It is time for a fresh look in how to bring Christians back together and how to work together. This is the book for those who want true unity with our brothers.
The Glory to be Revealed in You
Pregnancy is a time of preparation and reflection for many women. The advent of a new life can also be an "advent" of new life in the Spirit, for both mother and father. The Glory to be Revealed in You is a reflection on faith and motherhood, searching out the special graces God gives through His creative power. It explores the faith found in Christian motherhood and discipleship. The springboard for this discussion is I Timothy 2:15: "But she will be saved through childbearing if she perseveres in faith, love, and holiness with self-control." Though written primarily for the expectant mother, many others will find insight and inspiration in this spiritual companion. It offers support and encouragement to the reader, using the Bible and the writings of many spiritual mentors in the Catholic Church. The book will help couples to discover the spiritual fruitfulness of pregnancy. The Virgin Mary spent nine months anticipating the birth of her divine Son. With her, pregnant women everywhere also magnify the Lord and give thanks to God their Savior as they await in joy the glory to be revealed in them. (Romans 8:18)

She presents herself to the Almighty just as she is and encourages others to do the same. Human relationships take time and energy just as developing a strong and mature relationship with God takes time and energy.

The Righteousness of God in Christ
This book is an opening to Gods order of Righteousness. God did not just throw us together but He made us with order and love.

It is not a self centered way of living but a way for us to love each other and support each other as God loves and supports us. It is a way to grow in virtue, goodness, decency and integrity.As you read this book you will see that righteousness is a test. God send these tests our way to strengthen us and prepare us for the next test that is always around the corner. Righteousness is not easy. The flesh is always at war with the spirit. We are always at spiritual warfare each time we encounter each other. When you go forward in God's will be prepared for the enemy to strike. Righteousness is the only way to fight the evils of the enemy.The righteousness of God in Christ is based on my ups and down as I have tried try to live righteous. It has built my inner struggles with faith, forgiveness, peace and trust. It has revealed to me that you can do nothing without Christ, because nothing is impossible for God when you take everything to Him in prayer.

Ex-Gay Christian
This author embarked upon life's journey from the town of Kinston, North Carolina and, at age ten, accepted the LORD JESUS CHRIST as Savior and joined the Christian community at age twelve and began hearing the Holy Spirit's still voice encouraging and guiding me into all truth. Over the years, he has faithfully kept all pledges.Sharing this testimony has undoubtedly placed me on a thrilling journey. I have attempted to be a faithful witness. To complete this affirmation, I've often put down my pen, but the Lord granted me fresh and more incredible revelations and compelled me to continue. If I had but two pearls of wisdom to offer the reader, they are these priceless lessons-always obey Father God, regardless of the critics, and remember, never again disobey His voice.
Streetwise Prison Ministry
Every year thousands of religious individuals and groups of all faiths volunteer to enter into jails and prisons to bring hope to the incarcerated. But while their intention is honorable, many of these volunteers run into the reality of a highly dysfunctional, complicated and often volatile environment hostile by it's nature to those efforts. Jail and prison ministry is not just about bringing the gospel of deliverance to the inmates through religious programming and spiritual counseling. Wise ministry comes from knowing the dynamics of the mission field which is often filled with the condensed darkness of human suffering and evil and many wolf traps. Effective jail and prison ministry requires the religious volunteer to have an awareness of the inner nuances of that environment. A study of inmate religious games, security issues that affect civilians entering to minister, as well as their own personal perceptions of ministry in a secular environment, is part of being fully equipped for that mission. Jail and prison ministry is not for the na簿ve in matters that may sabotage or weaken the intended purpose of those religious volunteers who seek to bring the hope of the gospel into the dark places that are our jails and prisons.

A Third Great Disappointment for the Remnant?
Do you remember singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" in Sabbath School as a young child?"... Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world." Jesus loves everyone; yet as His followers, we often struggle to follow His example.In A Third Great Disappointment for the Remnant? Pastor Birch presents his research findings on race relations, the Millerite movement, slavery, the Civil War, segregation, the evangelical movement, and much more, addressing how these events have impacted and shaped the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Birch goes on to examine current race relations in the Adventist Church and the creation of ethnic conferences and warns against a final great disappointment of lost souls at Christ's second coming if we do not reconcile ourselves with each other and finish the work as one unified body.With a passion for racial and ethnic reconciliation, Birch offers bold recommendations on how to strengthen the Adventist Church through understanding and healing. We are precious in God's sight; we should also be precious in each other's sight.Now retired from church employment, Canute Birch, Ph.D., previously served as a senior pastor for many years in the Greater New York Conference in Manhasset, New York. In 2005, Dr. Birch and his supportive wife relocated their family to the state of Tennessee in order to take advantage of more easily accessible Seventh-day Adventist education for their children. Since then, they have held membership in the Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church.For numerous years, Dr. Birch spearheaded a multiracial/ multiethnic group of passionate, mixed-generation Adventist reconcilers to promote reconciliation, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in southeast Tennessee. His desire is summed up in the yearning observed in Christ's prayer and dream for His church-"that they may all be one."Dr. Birch has also served as an adjunct assistant professor of New Testament studies in the School of Religion at Southern Adventist University. During the summer of 2010, he "sensed an irresistible divine calling" to write this book while engaged in daily devotion. He hopes that readers will develop a passion for reconciliation within the Seventh-day Adventist Church as well as in Christendom and help to realize this divine ideal.
Axiomatic Theory of Spirituality
My quest for a genuinely spiritual living started as a personal quest though it soon became evident that this quest is universal. I did find answers to my quest, and discovered the meaning of my happiness, fulfillment and peace. It is a sweet life that this discovery naturally has enabled for me. There was still work to be done to offer this sweet life universally for everyone - not just for some but for everyone. I discovered that everyone is born genuinely spiritual with potential for a happy, fulfilling and peaceful life. I took a break for seven years, and traveled around the world until I felt I had smoothed the edges in my pursuit of a genuinely spiritual way, and I had gained the perspectives for universal spiritual living. I was ready to offer a happy, fulfilling and peaceful life to everyone. The presentation of the book was helped by two encounters, one a chance encounter and another a sweet echo from the past. The chance encounter took place in Sofia. The second encounter was in Leuven, where I had spent two years as a visiting professor at the Catholic University. I still waited another eight years after my visit to Leuven in 2015, before penning down this final version of the book in 2024.The treatment of spirituality in this book comes entirely from my original research. It answers questions that previously have never been even posed, much less answered.
ALL That Have Breath
This book is the result of a professional analyst reading the Bible in its entirety in multiple English translations, including the NIV (New International Version) and the Stone edition of the Tanach (Hebrew Bible), as well as researching and referencing other translations. The focus was to find everything that the Bible says about animals and analyze it.The author, Suzanne R. Buerer, saw a pattern throughout the Bible showing that the animals are very caught up in the affairs of mankind, carried along with humans in the Fall, in punishments, in blessings, AND in restoration.The author found that animals have the breath of the spirit of life which comes from God, and one book even discusses the spirit of the animal.The author shows how the Bible emphasizes that God is very involved with His animals - He knows them, He talks about them (in more than one book), they cry out to Him, and He feeds and saves them.In the last chapter, the author also discusses scriptures concerning mankind's salvation along with and in contrast to God's saving and renewal of all of His creation, as there is a matter of choice for humans to turn toward or away from God, while He otherwise will eliminate death, save His creation, and renew all things.The conclusion is that God cares very much for all of His creation, including His animals. His love, salvation, and renewal extend to all who revere Him, the whole world and all that is in it!SUZANNE R. BUERER is a Senior Systems Analyst at Kroger Inc.

Socioeconomic Development of a Nation and Individual Empowerment
Dr. Aboubacar SIdy Ph.D. (Dr. Sow) was born in the republic of Guinea. In 1979, he was awarded a scholarship to study mathematics and physics in the USSR. As a result, he left his country and traveled to the Soviet Union in order to commence his studies. In 1985, he was awarded a master's degree in mathematics and physics from Rostov-On-Don State University. In 1988, he returned to Rostov-On-Don State University to pursue advanced post-graduate studies in the same field. In 1993, he was awarded a Ph.D. in mathematics and physics.During his travel, Dr. Sow spent his free time observing our World and its economic, political and ideological systems. He noticed the existence of certain evils on which afflict our world.In 1993, he began to developed a philosophical method, cleaned of any ideological complexion and based on the logic-mathematical formalism to explain our present world. He created a new philosophical method called triad law or Triad to explain the deep secrets of any evolution and the significance of the ten (10) universal numbers. He then used this triad law to show how to live a positive life.As you read his astonishing books: The mystery of conscience and the power of the negative (Year 2001), Socioeconomic Development of a Nation and Individual Empowerment (Year 2024), it will become ever so clear the secret of any being's life.In addition to the numerous accomplishments, Dr. Sow lived in many countries and speaks several languages. Currently, Dr. Sow teaches mathematics at Loyola University Chicago, Columbia College and Harold Washington College.

Jesus loves the little children of the world." Jesus loves everyone; yet as His followers, we often struggle to follow His example.In A Third Great Disappointment for the Remnant? Pastor Birch presents his research findings on race relations, the Millerite movement, slavery, the Civil War, segregation, the evangelical movement, and much more, addressing how these events have impacted and shaped the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Birch goes on to examine current race relations in the Adventist Church and the creation of ethnic conferences and warns against a final great disappointment of lost souls at Christ's second coming if we do not reconcile ourselves with each other and finish the work as one unified body.With a passion for racial and ethnic reconciliation, Birch offers bold recommendations on how to strengthen the Adventist Church through understanding and healing. We are precious in God's sight; we should also be precious in each other's sight.Now retired from church employment, Canute Birch, Ph.D., previously served as a senior pastor for many years in the Greater New York Conference in Manhasset, New York. In 2005, Dr. Birch and his supportive wife relocated their family to the state of Tennessee in order to take advantage of more easily accessible Seventh-day Adventist education for their children. Since then, they have held membership in the Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church.For numerous years, Dr. Birch spearheaded a multiracial/ multiethnic group of passionate, mixed-generation Adventist reconcilers to promote reconciliation, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in southeast Tennessee. His desire is summed up in the yearning observed in Christ's prayer and dream for His church-"that they may all be one."Dr. Birch has also served as an adjunct assistant professor of New Testament studies in the School of Religion at Southern Adventist University. During the summer of 2010, he "sensed an irresistible divine calling" to write this book while engaged in daily devotion. He hopes that readers will develop a passion for reconciliation within the Seventh-day Adventist Church as well as in Christendom and help to realize this divine ideal.

Dancing Souls
Destiny was abandoned, alone, and isolated ... The Draconian race is trying to destroy the Earth ... the Earthlings are asleep. No one other than the Creator knows the role Dorian is playing as Destiny's protector ... including her four team members. Kindness, gentleness and loving compassion were woven into Destiny's soul. She was empathetic and could hear, see, feel things beyond the physical realm. The Creator asked the questions: Who is ready for the ultimate test? Who is willing to sacrifice themselves if need be? Who would be willing to have their DNA and memory altered to ensure the success of this grand plan? What propelled Destiny to accept the quest that would require her DNA to be altered and lose all knowledge of who she is, who she was? To forfeit her life ... and to be reborn as something she knew was destroying the worlds. Waking up, she is born a Draconian-a race dedicated to selfishness, greed, unrest and war. Destiny is lost ... can she ever be found again?

What is Holiness?
What is Holiness? Is it a title we give to religious leaders or special religious movements? Is it an expression to describe the extreme righteousness and purity of God and people? Or is it simply a vague, ethereal term we use to express the nature of someone or something? The Bible states that because God is holy, people must be holy, and without holiness, no one will see God. Such statements should compel us to explore this topic and give it a high priority in our lives. In this book, the author attempts to provide us with a working definition of holiness and how it applies to our lives. He explains holiness as a relational term as opposed to a behavioral term such as righteousness and shows how it should characterize not only our relationship with God but all relationships in God's creation. Finally, the author explores the various characteristics of holiness, such as its beauty, power, discipline, and peacefulness.
When God's Command Becomes a Question
IGNORANCE OF GOD'S TRUTH IS NO EXCUSE! We are to glorify God and love Him with all our heart, soul and mind; and love our neighbors as ourselves. As believers, we are to be conduits for the flow of God's love to other human beings. However, the Christian Community is greatly hindered corporately and individually because of self-love, individualism, spiritual and biblical ignorance. Many Christians look at the truths of God's Word in an attitude of utter defeat and unbelief. God said this work would be done through us empowered by the Holy Spirit. We can trust Him to complete His work in us because He has promised it (see Philippians 1:6). God repeatedly assures us of His promised provisions for us, and of His consistent undying love for us. Why not fully-yield yourself to Him today!
