In the chaos of daily life, many Christians long for the time and
mental clarity to reflect on scripture, to worship, and to pray. The
Tarot can become an unexpected tool in this journey, inviting us to
pause, contemplate, and find insight and wisdom in our walk. In The
Contemplative Tarot, author Brittany Muller draws deeply on Christian
tradition and theology to create a tarot practice built on spiritual
reflection, prayer, and worship.
The Tarot has held countless meanings to countless listeners over the
course of its existence, but The Contemplative Tarot offers a uniquely
Christian interpretation of the cards, including Bible verses and
meditations on each of their spiritual meanings. Brittany provides
practical guidance on how to use the cards in a Christian context,
whether as prompts for personal prayer, daily reminders of spiritual
truths, or as part of a more structured practice such as the Ignatian
examen.
The Contemplative Tarot offers a thoughtful, introspective new
interpretation of the Tarot and an invitation to create powerful
moments of reflection and worship in your daily life.

The definitive history of the military's decades-long investigation
into mental powers and phenomena, from the author of Pulitzer Prize
finalist The Pentagon's Brain and international bestseller Area 51.
This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top
secret clearances. For more than forty years, the U.S. government
has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to
locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets,
to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future
threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and
military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy,
Air Force, and Army-and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, for
the first time, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen
tells the story of these radical, controversial programs, using
never before seen declassified documents as well as exclusive
interviews with, and unprecedented access to, more than fifty of
the individuals involved. Speaking on the record, many for the
first time, are former CIA and Defense Department scientists,
analysts, and program managers, as well as the government psychics
themselves. Who did the U.S. government hire for these top secret
programs, and how do they explain their military and intelligence
work? How do scientists approach such enigmatic subject matter?
What interested the government in these supposed powers and does
the research continue? Phenomena is a riveting investigation into
how far governments will go in the name of national security.
