Whether the topic is life or death, author Carol Quintana has a few
answers. She knows what it is like to be dead for over sixty
minutes. She lives today to tell her story. The Light is as so many
describe it to be. It comes from a source. She was in the Light,
and she shares the truth with you-her truth and His The Light is
more than just the way. This Light teaches you about real love.
Whether the topic is spiritual or supernatural, Quintana can
explain the difference. If you believe in angels or demons, let her
share with you her experience with both. Even if you don't know the
Word of God, it is easy to understand. Quintana shares many
examples from the Bible. This is good reading for those searching
for answers to questions such as, "Is there a God?," "Does life go
on after death?," "Do I have spiritual or supernatural angels with
me?," or "Do my gifts come from God?" Your birth and your heritage
is no mistake. The gifts God gave you at birth are yours to make
the most of. Most of all, Quintana wants every reader to realize
that God is good
Br hmanic Vignettes is a boon to readers of all ages interested in
India's past, its traditions, as well as its possible future. The
author's erudition in Sanskrit, English, and French has been used
to illuminate his varied experiences first as student, then
teacher, later as career diplomat, and after retirement, founder of
a unique school in Mysore, India. The school emphasizes Sanskrit
teaching; its students participate in a unique experiment called
Dharmamananam (described in the book), introducing them to Vedantic
values of ancient Indian culture. Glimpses of other countries,
leaders, benefactors, and common folk are vividly brought to light,
prompting the reader's intellectual and moral involvement. His
meetings with Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (scholar and former president of
India), Jawaharlal Nehru (first prime minister of India, who chose
him as a diplomatic recruit in the new Indian Republic), and many
events and encounters with fascinating people from varied cultures
have many interesting insights. The author's unique Br hmanic
perspective of India's foreign policy, Shakespeare, the Indian epic
Ramayana, and the need to revamp society and education using the
Gurukula model of ancient India and the Kibutzims of Israel makes
for compelling reading. His personal involvement with and the
account of the Portuguese enclaves and Goa becoming integral with
the nascent Indian republic, describes the pulls and pressures of
history and political reality with his own clarity of vision and
immediacy. There are many such sketches meriting study and
reflection.
Difficult situations occur every day, all over the world. They can
occur in our homes, on our jobs, and even in our churches. As
Christians, we must face these challenges and understand their
roots in the spiritual world. We must also answer the call to
witness Christ in everyone, especially those who cause us
difficulty and distress. In "More than Conquerors II: They That Are
with Us: A Believer's Guide to Overcoming Opposition and Ethical
Dilemmas, " minister and author Thomas Randolph Wood Jr. shows
through real-world examples how true victory over situations,
circumstances, and difficult persons is available through Jesus
Christ.The helpful, encouraging lessons of "They That Are with Us"
offer answers to the hard and sometimes overwhelming challenges we
encounter in our lives today. Perhaps we struggle with money, with
relationships, with the future, or with faith; by sharing our
stories and sharing the word of God, we can learn to honestly
support each other in our walks both inside and outside the
physical structures of our church buildings. Through this testimony
and witness, we experience the true will of God for our
congregations, for ourselves, and for our world.

Lord "opens the door to God's "path through suffering. "

there's more to death than meets the eye, particularly after
journeying through an extended period of time-fervent in prayer and
strong in faith-for a loved one's healing.

Religion is a hard topic to discuss, especially with family members
who do not have the same religious beliefs. This book began as a
paper given to family members and friends in an attempt to show
them what the scriptures teach about the Sabbath. Though a number
of Sabbath-keeping church members and leaders refused to discuss
the paper, other ministers and church friends thought it should be
published. Years of studying and writing have culminated into "The
Sabbath, the Law, and the New Covenant." This book takes the
central theme of the Bible, God's redemptive plan for mankind, and
walks the reader through the scriptures. It begins with the plan's
inception and then explains how the plan was introduced to man, how
it began to unfold, and finally how the plan was fulfilled. This
book highlights many of the scriptures that teach about the
Sabbath, the Old Testament Laws, including the Ten Commandments,
and the New Testament covenant of Jesus Christ, while comparing
some widely held beliefs with the word of God. For all who truly
love the word of God and worship on the seventh-day Sabbath, this
book is a must-read. Those who wish to learn about the subject
matter will also find the information insightful, coming from one
who formerly worshiped on the seventh-day Sabbath.
God has been revealing to me that writing is an effective way for
me to share my heart with Him; I feel encouraged to use it as a way
to share his love and my faith in him with you. I have spent the
majority of my life searching desperately for the missing piece to
complete my life puzzle. The discovery of my life has been
made....Jesus. From the bottom of my heart to the top of the
highest mountain, I would like to proclaim to everyone who is
alive, ?God loves you God wants to be close to you You are created
for HIM He his waiting with open arms and unending love for you God
forgives you We can approach God with confidence in our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. The idea of this book grew from a seed planted
in my heart on November 9, 2012. While reading II Kings, God
revealed to me an important role in my Christian life. God tells of
King Hezekiah, who was aware of God's presence in past events, had
a personal relationship with God via a powerful prayer life, and
trusted in God's help for current events in his life. One thing he
lacked was his concern for future generations. God convicted my
heart that I was lacking this as well. Not sure what to do, I
prayed that God would show me. A book. Since I will not be around
forever to share my faith with future generations, I can share my
faith through a book. This is the first and possibly the only book
I will write; I will leave that up to God. This is a collection of
prayers and writings regarding some truths God has revealed to me.
An invitation to you...to draw near, speak to God about what is on
your heart, then be still, and know that He is God. This is the
sacrifice God wants from us. He wants us to share our heart with
him and trust him and his word to guide our lives. Talk to God
about anything you would a family member, best friend, co-worker,
etc. God wants us to come to Him first.
Just as Jesus spoke to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus,
so too will He speak personally to the reader as he or she "walks"
with Him.
In Walk With Me, Jesus says, "Let me take you to that moment
when I will enter your heart." To walk with Jesus, to be with Him,
to listen to Him, to hear Him, makes it possible to become more
like Him so that little by little our hearts and minds reflect
Jesus.
"I want to let you know who you are to Me and to My Father. And
to tell you that We need you. To you, beloved one, God gives His
life and calls you into His very life. Come and see how our life
together grows from simply being together each day."
God has His perfect plan for each of us; each of us is
completely in His mind, and His will for each is perfect. The "way"
of Jesus is the holy way, the wonder-filled way, the way that bears
much fruit in our life and in the world.
"I am the Friend who, through our friendship, will bring you
further into eternal life." It is the life He alone brings and
nourishes.
Give Him that moment to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear
Him, to let Him touch your life, and to let Him lead you. (233

The Vita Christi of the fourteenth century Carthusian, Ludolph of
Saxony, is the most comprehensive series of meditations on the life
of Christ of the late Middle Ages. Ludolph assembles a wealth of
commentary from the fathers of the church and the great medieval
spiritual writers and weaves them into a seamless exposition on the
Gospel. This is the first English translation of this classic work,
and it also is the first edition in any language to identify the
thousands of sources used by Ludolph, both those he quotes and the
many he cites without attribution. It will be of great interest to
students of Christian spirituality, but it is intended, as was the
original text, for ordinary believers seeking to enter more deeply
into the meaning of the life of Christ. When complete, there will
be 4 volumes.
For centuries scientists and theologians have argued about the
origin, structure, function, and purpose of the universe, with no
end in sight. In the meantime, the average human being, when not
overwhelmed by activities needed for mere survival, has wondered
who we are, where we came from, and why we're here. Dr. Michael
Bohley believes that the answers we seek are hiding in plain sight,
available to anyone with a healthy brain, regardless of level of
education or specialization in certain obscure fields of science,
theology, or philosophy. The answers are to be found within the
sphere of our beliefs and how they help to shape the world around
us.
