Something is not right about our Universe....

On the surface, it seems that our world is a straightforward place, where doing right is rewarded and doing wrong is punished. Every person should have a chance to live a beautiful life--for freedom, peace, and safety. But there is something else going on that seeks to destroy this simple process of life.

But there is a fly in the ointment...a toxic presence that is thwarting our plans.

Evil has entered our world, and it is growing and personal. It is unpredictable, spontaneous, seemingly random, and vicious past any...

When Jim Woodford died, he spent eleven hours in Heaven. When he came back, he was changed forever.

A successful airline pilot and businessman, Jim had it all--a loving family, substantial wealth, and all of the good things that come with it. But none of this was enough to satisfy the emptiness he felt in his heart. He always hungered for something more. And then one day, he died.

Jim was never a religious man. When it came to matters of God and faith, he was...

This paperback edition of the Pistis Sophia is a complete and accurate reprint of the original translation by G.R.S. Mead in 1921. It contains all of Mead's original notes and running commentary, as well as his annotated bibliography which includes numerous sources and further research material for the reader.

The Pistis Sophia is a gnostic text thought to have been written sometime between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. According to Mead, there were two codices discovered in the late 18th century that contained the original work. The Bruce Codex was brought to Oxford by the famous...

As part of the process of consideration for sainthood, the body of Filippo Neri, "the apostle of Rome," was dissected shortly after he died in 1595. The finest doctors of the papal court were brought in to ensure that the procedure was completed with the utmost care. These physicians found that Neri exhibited a most unusual anatomy. His fourth and fifth ribs had somehow been broken to make room for his strangely enormous and extraordinarily muscular heart. The physicians used this evidence to conclude that Neri had been touched by God, his enlarged heart a mark of his sanctity.

What if you could learn the name of your angel, receive a picture of your angel's likeness, and receive a five-minute message from your angel? Would that initial message stir your heart enough to start a dialogue with your angel?

This unique Christian book that might be more at home in a New Age bookstore is A Message From My Angel: Book 1. If you are curious as to what an angel might say to you, this a great place to put your toes in the water.

You will read that the angels had common themes that they spoke about:

• How responsive their charge is...

"I have seen angels, demons, and other spiritual things for as long as I can remember. I see them with my eyes, not so differently from how I would see you if you were standing in front of me. For a long time I didn't know or understand that what I had was a gift. It was as often a source of peace and wonder as it was a source of fear and confusion. Even after I learned that the things I saw were the result of a God given gift, I still struggled with how to use the things He showed me. I would see angels during every worship service I attended, but what was I supposed to do to partner with...

In this monograph, I argue that Satan was not perceived as a universal malevolent deity, the embodiment of evil, or the "ruler of Pandaemonium" within first century Christian literature or even within second and third century Christian discourses as some scholars have insisted. Instead, for early "Christian" authors, Satan represented a pejorative term used to describe terrestrial, tangible, and concrete social realities, perceived of as adversaries. To reach this conclusion, I explore the narrative character of Satan selectively within the Hebrew Bible, intertestamental literature, Mark,...
