Identity Crisis
"Identity Crisis: The Debilitating Disease of the Church" is a concise but impactful look at how to bring the church back to its intended purpose and function. "Whenever a person allows their spiritual identity to be compromised, it immediately opens a door for them to be victimized, controlled, and manipulated by others, blurring the lines of their true spiritual identity. Oftentimes, perpetrators have hidden motives and agendas in order to gain access to the hearts, minds, and even possessions of the vulnerable and unsuspecting.Sadly, too many have been victimized by impostors in the church, which has subsequently weakened its influence. These impostors have disguised their identity in the name of religion, using their influence, titles, and positions of authority to fleece the people of God. The reputation of the church has been under a cloud of great scrutiny for many decades because of the indiscretions and improprieties of leadership. This book will examine, explore, and expose religious indoctrination and help to refocus our a finity back to our true spiritual Father."-Matthew 23:9

Satan Christianity's Other God
This iconoclastic work brings a revolutionary perspective on the concept of Satan. Going deeper than simply showing that Satan is a construction of religious culture; Satan, Christianity's Other God explores how the belief in a supernatural Satan, is equal to believing in more than one God. Many of us who have been raised in religion are surprised to learn that the God of the Scripture tells us there is no such thing as a supernatural Satan.In Volume one of the 4 volume Imagine No Satan Series, James R. Brayshaw, author and researcher from Western Canada, takes the reader on a journey through the Scriptures and history. Sharing what he has learned since opting out of the institutional religion he was raised in, liberating insights are offered. Brayshaw's work has cracked open the prison of traditional belief in Satan to free the reader to see how the Satan of Christianity was not created by God. Together we discover that Satan never existed in the theology of the people of God until they spent time among cultures steeped in mythology-So why should he exist in our theology today?Piece by piece the Scriptures are explained to show how the well-known passages about Satan, have been tragically misapplied by those who have a preconceived belief in a cosmic Satan. In this timely tome, the Satan we used to know is handily dismantled. Readers are shown how the belief in a cosmic Satan has been thrust onto bible passages that have nothing to say about such an entity.As man struggles to understand the Creator, becoming free of a belief in Satan takes us a long way towards understanding of the God of Scripture.If you are undaunted by hard questions about your beliefs, then start today with this volume. Join the thousands who have found a refreshed outlook on who God is by learning why Satan is not at all like they have been told.

Through Kingdom Eyes
I started to write this book in my thirties and couldn't put it together. I was too much about me in those days, and as I say in the book, I was unable to access my feelings. I had an epiphany moment in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting when I saw in my imagination a little airplane pulling a banner that said Surrender. I had never surrendered entirely even to God, and this after having been a United Methodist minister for ten years.I was frightened at the prospect of losing myself, and I remembered how I had fought that very thing in my just-failed marriage. If I could just have stopped protecting myself from her needs, then I could have seen the hurt that she carried in her, and I would have been doing love by listening to her instead of pulling away. Instead, when God showed me that surrender to such a path was the way to gaining access to my feelings, and really better access to him, I was too frightened to risk it.This book is about a wondrous truth that God has revealed to me over the decades since those times. He showed me that we are eternal spiritual beings and that we live in the kingdom of God in the here and now. He showed me that the kingdom of God is the true fabric of reality, and the world of darkness that we walk around in is unable to fulfill the spiritual needs that God has instilled in us.We are made to love as he loves us. We are made to show others the grace that he shows us. We are made to forgive and not to hold grudges and judge others.God is being, and we are being made of him. The forever kingdom of God is meant to be manifested in what we call the here and now, through us. The sweet bye-and-bye is just a transition from one part of eternity to another. This part of eternity is meant to be changed by us as Jesus calls for in the Lord's Prayer ("thy will be done on earth as in heaven").We are the spiritual agents meant to change the world. We must see it first and thus Through Kingdom Eyes.
You Shall Surely Rejoice
Spiritual joy is simply the fruit of a real spiritual life. So, anyone who loves the living and true God and loves humankind through God, will bring forth spiritual fruits, especially the fruit of joy.There are many kinds and expressions of something like joy in this life, but spiritual joy is different. It surpasses them all. It has nothing to do with wealth, health, or achievements. Spiritual joy is about faith, hope and love.When you trust in God your Father, and you believe in His only begotten Son, the Redeemer and the giver of eternity through His resurrection, and when you trust in the work of the Holy Spirit in your heart, then you shall surely rejoice. When you have earnest hope in the Word of God and you rely totally on His promises, you shall surely rejoice.When you love God with all your heart, and with all your mind and with all your strength, and you love your fellow human beings as yourself, then you shall surely rejoice.We need to embrace this joyful life in Christ, even in times of suffering and hardships, not only because it is God's commandment but also His Gift.
Aflame
"Reading Aflame may help many to lead lives of greater compassion and deeper peace of mind." --His Holiness the Dalai Lama From the bestselling author of The Art of Stillness, a revelatory exploration of the abiding clarity and calm to be found in quiet retreat Pico Iyer has made more than one hundred retreats over the past three decades to a small Benedictine hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He's not a Christian--or a member of any religious group--but his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. That silence reminds him of what is essential and awakens a joy that nothing can efface. It's not just freedom from distraction and noise and rush: it's a reminder of some deeper truths he misplaced along the way. In Aflame, Iyer connects with inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery, even as his life is going through constant change: a house burns down, a parent dies, a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences, alongside wisdom from other nonmonastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. And most profoundly, he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing, he offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life--and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there's a space for quiet and recollection that's open to us all. Radiant, intimate, and gripping, Aflame offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live, how to love, and, ultimately, how to die.

Restore What Was Lost
Have we lost the reverence and awe for the house of God? Has the Church forgotten that our God is a consuming fire? On February 16th, 2018, the Lord granted me a vivid open vision-one that shook me to my core and revealed a devastating truth about the state of His house. In that vision, I saw men defiling what was meant to be holy, seemingly unnoticed and unchecked. The Lord's voice was clear: "Restore the awe and reverence for My house and return to the Fear of the Lord." This book was born out of that divine encounter and the many revelations the Lord shared with me regarding the Fear of the Lord-a crucial, yet missing element in the Church today. As believers, we have been lulled into complacency, operating under leaders and teachings that have strayed from the holy path. We have forgotten that the Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, the key to revival, and the gateway to His heart. Through powerful visions, Scriptural insights, and urgent prophetic messages, I invite you to rediscover the awe, reverence, and holy fear that God is calling us back to. The Lord is shaking His Church, separating what is of Him from what is not. Will we heed His voice, or will we turn a deaf ear to the consuming fire of His presence? This book is not just a message-it is a call to action, a cry for revival that begins with the Fear of the Lord. May it unlock your heart and ignite a burning desire to walk the path of holiness, reverence, and deep intimacy with our King. Will you answer the call?

Manifest for a Humanist Religio
In this book, we journey into the sacred spaces within our hearts, uncovering the light that shines from them, the very essence of our existence. At the dawn of time, the divine was within us, and through it, we communed with a Love that embraced all creation. Yet, as monotheistic religions and materialism took hold, we grew distant from one another, from nature, and from the diversity that once united us. We became strangers to the living world around us, whether human, animal, plant, or mineral, all bearers of the same primordial energy. This book invites you to rediscover that connection, to awaken to the truth that we are all divine, sacred vessels of the divine presence. Reconnection begins with the realization that something vital is missing, something we sense deep within, a longing, an inexpressible nostalgia. Saudade.

It's a story of awe, wonder, and discovery, connecting the vastness of the cosmos to the intimate depths of the soul. "I Am Who I Am" יהוה (Tetragrammaton) In the timeless declaration from Exodus 3:14, "I Will Become What I Choose to Become" or "I Am Who I Am," the essence of יהוה (YHWH) emerges as a boundless and eternal presence, defying human comprehension. Rooted in Genesis 1:27, where humanity is declared created in His sacred image-male and female-the divine Name reminds us of our extraordinary potential to choose, grow, and become what we choose to be. We embrace this sacred truth through reflection, reverence, and alignment with JHVH. By invoking the Name, we are not merely passive creations but active co-creators, shaping our lives and destinies with purpose, wisdom, and reverence.

In Naples, Italy it was said that 20,000 Christians gathered in small groups to practice inward prayer.Michael Molinos came closer to reforming the Catholic church than any other single man in history, yet he ended up sealed in a dungeon, his book condemned. A man so controversial that even until today the Vatican will not release the transcript of his (secret) trial. Now for the first time ever, this book appears in modern English, the first English-language release in over a hundred years.

Awakening
In a burning world of today you can achieve peace of mind only if you awaken your mind by meditation, following spiritual teachings of great Prophets who came on this earth from time to time. Awakening of mind is the need of time to achieve the peace of mind. Awareness is like the sun when it shines on things, they are transformed. You are rich, when you are content and happy with what you have. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no voice, troubles or hard work, it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Be soft, do not let the world make your hard. Do not let pain make you heart. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Remember when root is deep there is no reason to fear of wind. In this book of mine "Awakening" I have thrown light on various subjects to awaken your mind and to have a happy and peaceful life. To believe is to perceive - either by senses or the soul. This distinction constitutes two classes - the sceptic and the believer, which though dependent on, may yet be incomprehensible to each other; but both being necessary to established the balance of thought, they are forced into existence and become the links and cross-links which make life's endless chain from thought to truth. It is a great thing to know the laws of physical nature and exercise control over it. But still greater is to know the laws which govern the human mind, and it is the greatest victory to conquer the mind which conquered the matter, so that he remains no more slave to the matter to conquer which he worked so hard, and thus avoid the greatest contradiction of life. - Dr. Surindar Singh Suri
Creations of Wonder
The opening statement of the whole Bible is, "In the beginning, God created," and this creator, God, has the incarnate image of Jesus Christ, of whom is said that "all things were created through Him and for Him" (Col. 1:15-16). This can be seen to be so far removed from much of today's teachings, that of evolution and its propounder, Charles Darwin. The theory of evolution is, in truth, exactly what it says it is-a theory-and which raises many more questions than answers. If we are to believe in God's Word and what he says, then the Creation and the evolution of species are incompatible. It is not the purpose of this book to prove creation, although the writer would have no difficulty in this, but it is simply to highlight some of these creations that are seen as not just the wonders of creation but rather the creations of wonder. Darwin, who studied theology for three years at Cambridge to become a minister of the gospel, never denied the Almighty God. On his deathbed, he requested his visitor, one called Lady Hope, to hold a meeting in his summerhouse and to invite his servants, tenants, and neighbors to come. When she asked, "What shall I speak about?" Darwin replied, "Christ and his salvation. Is not that the best theme?" (Bombay Guardian, March 25, 1916). The word "create" means more than just "make," for we can all do that, but to make something out of nothing, that is real creation. Therefore we could say that anything created is wonderful, and so indeed it is. Yet within the host of creation, there are some, when viewed more closely, particularly stand apart as extra special. This book is about a mere handful of these creations culminating in man himself and the one devastating creation of that man: the cross of death.
