In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else.

RIGHT OF PASSAGE, What the Dead say about Reincarnation, is Deborah Richmond Foulkes' fifth book written with Spirit. It is the culmination of twelve years of research, including nearly four years spent in Scotland and England, validating the messages the author received from Spirit through original documents and contemporary accounts from the 13th and 14th centuries. As a Spiritualist, the author has combined her academic acumen for historical research with her training as a medium. In this book Deborah features several lifetimes of over a dozen souls through information disseminated from Spirit in a new way.The messages from Spirit came through Deborah's own mediumship as well as the Spirit communication of other, well known Mediums. Accounts of several of her readings were featured in books by others, including Psychic Medium Lydia Clar with her book OUT OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT, Spiritual Medium Robert Brown's first book, WE ARE ETERNAL, and Trance Medium Suzane Northrop's book, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Deborah also received substantial validation of her work during a public demonstration of Spirit Communication at the Virginia Beach retreat sponsored by Robert Brown. His special guest and friend, medium John Edward, came to Deborah with messages that substantiated her own messages from Spirit as well as her historical research.Deborah Richmond Foulkes is a Spiritualist in a line of Spiritualists that date back to the first documented communication of 1848 in Hydesville, New York with a deceased peddler and the Fox sisters. As one of her guides in Spirit, Deborah's great, great grandmother Elizabeth Foster, validated her participation in a s ance held by First Lady Mary Lincoln at the White House. Her cousin Horace Greeley, of newspaper fame, wrote about Spiritualism and the Fox sisters, supporting their work communicating with the Hydesville peddler, Charles Rosna in Spirit. Greeley became a friend of that Fox family and even hosted a wedding at his home in New York on their behalf.Spiritualism as a religion believes in the phenomena they call mediumship. Deborah Richmond Foulkes became a Certified Medium in the Spiritualist church. But while communication with the so called dead is accepted among Spiritualists, multiple incarnations is not. In 2000 Deborah received her first clue about a past life in Scotland. She was able to verify the information from her guide in Spirit through original documents. Other guides in her circle began to come forth with proof of their lifetimes. Then in 2006, the Spirit known as Archibald Douglas revealed his lifetime as a young man named David Lee who grew up in western Pennsylvania and became a United States Marine. "I died in a jeep accident, landmine," Dave explained. That piece of evidence was the first link to a lifetime that ended in 1968, for the same soul who incarnated in 1296 in Scotland. The author was able to validate through research that the soul had the same personality, with the identical core values, whether he was 2nd Lieutenant Dave Hopkins USMC or Sir Archibald Douglas, Regent of Scotland.

"Covalent Counsel: In Pursuit Of The Ultimate Intimate Spiritual Experience" is a bold and provocative spiritual direction for personal transformation that focuses solely on the accomplished work and prevailing power of Christ. The author/psychologist offers a clear and ever-present spiritual paradigm for counseling regarding intimacy with God and others. His four stages of covalence are groundbreaking for those who seek Christ and yearn for a deeper knowledge and experience of him. His biblically based presentation of spiritual healing and forgiveness in Christ shatter old notions on how to mend relationships. Knowing the power of "Christ in you" will cause your heart to leap for joy. The author stands on the biblically based belief that all love, power, faith, and hope are found in God through Christ. His "five life and death questions" elevate us to a higher level of spiritual thinking regarding the notion of death and life after death. Passionate about Christ as the center of relationships, the author offers greater hope for living in a dark and perverted world.

Communicating the eternal truth of the Gospel in the continually changing context and language of contemporary culture can be a challenging task. In "HEAR the WORD," author Dr. James A. Prette explores authentic Christian preaching in the postmodern culture.

In this examination, Prette discusses the three essential elements of persuasive communication-pathos, ethos, and logos-and their parallels in Christian spiritual transformation-content, context, and conveyor. He offers a theological reflection exploring and defining a biblical paradigm for spiritual formation through the exposition of the biblical logos that crosses cultural and generational boundaries. He also delves into the cultural shift that has taken place in the ethos of western culture, from a modernist worldview to a postmodern one, and its impact on Christian life and ministry.

"HEAR the WORD" offers nine important themes that can guide spiritual leaders in listening to and proclaiming the authentic word of God in this new postmodern paradigm.
