God’s Ugly

Genesis Chapter 6:5-6 "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented The Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His Heart".
Words of John, Thoughts of God
From his exile on Patmos, St. John the beloved, the last of the original disciples, writes to encourage the faith of a second generation of believers. They faced challenges of persecution from without and false teachers from within; but they didn't face them alone. God was still speaking through John's words. Their pastor was still ministering to them. The Words of John, Thoughts of God is founded on the Bible as God's holy inspired word written by the writers he chooses to speak through. The devotions contained show how God works among his people through his word to encourage the church on earth in its faith and practices. Journeying through the EPISTLES of John, author Mike Ramey delves into the depths of God's word to share with God's people the truth, hope, and peace found in the Bible.

This simple once-daily prayer is suitable for a family, the classroom, midday at work, and with co-workers.

Music
Through his experience as a psychologist, a musician, and a spiritual seeker, B.J. Gonzalvo demonstrates the role of music as our guide in recreating inner harmony as well as social harmony. Just like in our gathering songs or opening hymns, music has the transcendent and transformative power to open up our hearts, bring us all together, unite us in harmony, and provide the cadence for our voices and our heartbeats. When we come together with one purpose of making beautiful harmony, there is a sense of elevation of the human spirit up to the heavenly realms where the Divine Author of beauty dwells. Music is more than just a hobby or a soundtrack playing in the background of our lives. Music is an intentional leisure activity full of possibilities for singers and seekers alike to recreate and experience a foretaste of joy, love, hope, grace, and harmony. As we rethink our relationships today, may we remind ourselves of the power of creating and recreating music together for the sake of harmony within ourselves and with one another. Music, the art of togetherness, illuminates the true, the good, and the beautiful in our relationships-relationship to self, to others, and to God. In music, we belong. Through music, we discover our own inner sanctuary as well as the inner sanctuaries in others-the sanctuary where God is made present.
Twelve Step Spirituality for Christians
Twelve Step Spirituality For Christians is a parish-tested introduction to a vibrant spirituality of honesty, perhaps the greatest American contribution to spirituality. It is designed for personal exploration or in groups of 5 to 15 people. The main goal of this little book is to expose 12 step spirituality to Christians who may not be familiar with it. Behind this is a conviction that our culture, leaning to addiction, is called to be a culture of life, vocation, and freedom. Some familiarity with these 12 steps will most certainly enrich the life and prayer of every woman and man on any faith journey. Stephen Joseph Wolf, the compiler, is a former parish priest and spiritual director. The six chapters are When I Am Weak, Let Go And Let God, Sick As Our Secrets, Progress Not Perfection, Let It Begin With Me, and One Day At A Time.

Returning to Eden
Do you resonate with aspects of Christianity, but struggle with the coherence of its claims? After having a mystical experience that upended her traditional evangelical beliefs, Heather Hamilton reluctantly found herself in this place. Her seeking led to the most unexpected insights. Returning to Eden is a field guide for the journey that every true spiritual seeker ultimately takes. The highest truths that set us free are hidden in places that most people are not looking. Returning to Eden reexamines the Bible stories of childhood and opens them up as symbolic maps into the inner world. Stories like Jonah and the Whale, the Parting of the Red Sea, Noah's Ark, and the Virgin Birth are illuminated with penetrating depth and intellectual integrity. Faith is no longer a white-knuckled grip on implausible beliefs, but a relaxation into a deep inner knowing. You may be surprised to find yourself reinvigorated and enlightened by stories you thought you knew inside and out. Returning to Eden has the potential to cultivate a renaissance of wonder and curiosity for anyone from the most seasoned Christians to the most committed atheists, and everyone in between.

Know how to manage your heritage properly and holistically. Assistance is around the corner, health advisors, spiritual directors and financial counselors. Please find someone to lead you in the right direction, genetically or spiritually, financial stability or lack thereof, then live with God's blessings! No matter what happens, do not escape from God's presence. Know that we do not have to be controlled by anyone nor anything because our celestial mother, Mary is in the midst of this battle with us.

Meister Eckhart’s Book of Darkness & Light
Gold Winner, Lyric Prose or Hybrid Works, Nautilus Book Awards"Within each of us is a divine treasure, and if we hope to discover it, we need to go deep into the heart of who we are." --Meister Eckhart Meister Eckhart has been a huge figure in spirituality for more than eight hundred years--spiritual leaders such as Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, and Matthew Fox have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought. This book of Meister Eckhart meditations is for people seeking the "wayless way." It is not for those looking for a simple path. These fresh, stunning renderings of Eckhart's writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness. Not darkness in general, but your darkness, because it is the one thing you know something about--without facing your darkness, you'll never know what it means to desire the light. Only when you are in the darkness, Meister says, do you have even the possibility of seeing the light. "What Coleman Barks has done for Rumi, Sweeney and Burrows have done for Eckhart--making his insight accessible and his wisdom sing." --Carl McColman, author of The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Eternal Heart "Sweeney and Burrows, in poems that are as elegant as they are scholarly, revoice Meister Eckhart's grounding and expansive instructions to 'seek the light that shines / out of the darkness.'" --P獺draig ? Tuama, poet and host of Poetry Unbound, from On Being Studios

Every Heart Tells a Story
From relaying the unheard of sounds of well-being in the world to asking her readers to look through a window to see the trees dancing in the wind, author Nancy Russo Wilson details scenes in beautiful portraits composed of unearthly elements. Take the trees, which she says are mostly of green, but with some early yellows and reds, like the first gray hairs of a young woman's head. Even when she examines a simple rock, her poetic drive has us watching her paint them, so that to this day, she has beautiful seagulls, whales, dogs, horses, and flowers in her collection of painted stones. As she states, I was painting the image when the rock "spoke" to me and told me what to paint. For a glimpse of these lovely timeless messages, treat yourself to an imaginative view of the world through the pages of Every Heart Tells a Story.
Leading Ladies
Gain new insights into the Bible's heroines! The Leading Ladies Case Studies delve into the Biblical text of each heroine's story to unearth fine details, and deep patterns, previously unseen. We are thus challenged to see Rahab as the midwife of God's nation Israel; to see that Jael fulfills the Eden covenant in precursor cameo; to see that Delilah was assassinated; and to see that Esther completes her hidden agenda to remove the disgrace from the house of King Saul. Over-arching this we see the creation of Adam and Eve describing a harmonizing of the spiritual and the natural, a fusion of Heaven and Earth, with the woman emblemizing the Heavenly component and the man the Earthly one. Seeing the Leading Ladies' stories together reveals that their accomplishments directly parallel the well-known feats of the greatest Biblical male heroes. Yet characteristically the women achieved their goals with fewer resources and less preparation time. The Ladies' victories are often unseen because they are encoded in the Bible record in a much quieter voice, which is God's own signature communication style.

The Making of Evangelical Spirituality
How did it come to be that evangelicals expect individualized, extrabiblical revelation from God? What has happened culturally, historically, and theologically to make this the ubiquitous assumption of evangelical spirituality? The Making of Evangelical Spirituality is a compound of history and theology applied to the subject of evangelical spirituality--specifically, the phenomenon of evangelicals thinking ""God spoke to me"" in a still, quiet voice. The story is complex, multifaceted, and urgently in need of telling. Few Christians know the history of the spiritual expectations heaped upon them. Few know the individuals who gave shape to evangelical spirituality, spiritual chieftains who were often guided by uniquely ephemeral, social, and cultural forces. There is no towering figure like Martin Luther that stands as the lone front man for the esoterica of evangelical spirituality. Instead, it's the osmosis of many fascinating people struggling through life in the storm of worldly and cultural momentum. This book is the story of those hermits, monks, reformers, heretics, politicians, outcasts, and preachers who gave shape. Failure to tell the story now risks it becoming just another part of historical compost, threatening to make evangelicals forever ignorant of what they are tossing into the garden of their soul.
Holy Mary-Am Spiritual Influence on Mankind
Holy Mary-Am Spiritual Influence on Mankind is an exploration of the Oneness of Jehovah-Allah and the mystical creation of Jesus and His Mother, the Holy Mary-am in Heaven, before their nativity on earth. Authors Orungbohun Lateef Emmanuel and Saint Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa examine the Crucifixion of Jesus as well as the challenges surrounding Jesus as the Son of Jehovah-Allah and how these two concepts have become the foundation of flimsy arguments that separate and cause rifts and animosity between Two Major Faiths. In this eye-opening work, the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity are scrutinized and evaluated for the purpose of showing a greater Oneness for all Mankind. About the authorsOrungbohun Lateef Emmanuel was born in April of 1966 to a Muslim family from the Odogbolu town in Ogun State, Nigeria. He gave his life to Christ in the Celestial Church of Christ on February 4, 2005.Saint Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa was born in 1909 in Porto Novo, Republic of Benin. At seven, he was sent for God's service to a Methodist Catechist. Because his father was unhappy with how he was being treated and brough him back home, then later sent him back at the age of thirteen. He was sent back home again with the other pupils after they refused to participate in making blocks for a new building. At that point his father said there was no alternative but that he should be trained to be a carpenter like his father and he was happy as a carpenter. Upon his father's death on June 15, 1939, he continued to bear the burden until December 1946, when he decided to enter into the ebony trade until a fateful day, May 23, 1947, the day of the eclipse of the sun, when he was praying in the forest he heard the voice of LULI; the same voice told him, "This means the Grace of Jesus Christ." By the Divine Order, he later went on to found the Celestial Church of Christ on September 29, 1947.
Gather the Fragments
In this memoir, Maureen O'Brien reflects on the gospel story of the miracle of the loaves and fishes and what she learns about herself, the people around her, and a fragmented but still beautiful world. While she's sharing her story of finding God's love, she's also sharing the stories of so many others, known and cherished by God even when the world leaves them shattered, finding their way through the world and feasting on the fragments of grace that are always in abundance if we learn to look, to see, to accept, to share.
Quantum Physics and God
Quantum physics and the theory of relativity have shaken our conception of reality. They have made us realize that the universe is not as we perceive it. Religion and philosophy have so far failed to adapt our view of the world on the basis of these findings. Thus, together with the reader, the author sets out to clarify the fundamental questions of life. He skillfully juxtaposes convincing answers from different fields of knowledge. Scientific chapters about the world of quantum objects, space and time, or the origin and evolution of the universe stand in stark contrast to chapters about scientifically unexplainable events such as miracles, spiritualistic phenomena, findings about life after death, and reincarnation. In addition, the author discusses the atheistic worldview. The scientific sections are easily understandable, especially since they are, to a large extent, free of technical terms and formulas. In the religious chapters, the author draws parallels between ideas from all religions (especially Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism) and scientific findings. Descriptions of the God-experiences of spiritual masters from all times, cultures, and religions as well as personal anecdotes and stories imagined by the author provide manifold paradigm shifts in the detailed consideration of one and the same thing: the ultimate reason of our existence and the meaning of life.
Image and Illumination
What does it mean to be created in the image of God? This is the core question in Christian anthropology and it is surprisingly important in understanding everything else. Anthropology is the study of human beings, the who question of philosophy. As Christians, our identity is found in Jesus Christ, but exactly what does this imply?Because we are created in the image of God, he is familiar and we immediately recognize him (metaphysics). Because we worship the God who created the universe, we expect the universe to be orderly and worthy of scientific study (epistemology). Because God loves us, we can love those around us who make up God's family (ethics). Our anthropology is accordingly an interpretive key that colors how we see everything else.In exploring this question, Image and Illumination offers over forty devotions containing a reflection, prayer, and questions for discussion. These devotions are organized into these chapters: Introduction, Image, Fall from Grace, Illumination, and Restoration.Cover art is by James Tissot (1836-1902): Moses Adores God in the Burning Bush.

Good Tidings of Great Joy
Spiritual messengers of God bring us good tidings in parables. Hark! "For those who have ears, let them listen; for those who have sight, let them see." (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, November 23, 1973) The story of the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:6-14 begins: "Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest - And on earth peace, good will toward men!'" Now, once again, today, we are blessed to hear angels praising God and saying: "Glory be the name of the Lord. Glory be the name of His people!" They bring a message of great joy, which will be to all the people. "Hark unto these words - we have come for this time. We have come from those who should make their entry." (Spoken by spiritual messengers of God, Aka, December 29, 1972) "We are here but for one purpose, the preparation of the coming of the Messiah. Open the door that we may enter, and we shall walk with you." (June 9, 1979) "Let the Christmas spirit be not only the Christmas Spirit; let it reach unto all religions of all faiths. Let brotherhood bind unto you. For that which you celebrate is the love he left upon your Earth in birth and in death. Amen, oh Lord, amen." (December 8, 1978) What better news could you hear?
