A Course in Miracles (ACIM) - the self-study spiritual-thought
system that teaches the way to love and forgiveness - has
captivated the minds and captured the hearts of millions of people.
Delivering inner peace where fear and pain once prevailed, its
universal message is unsurpassed in its power to heal. Yet many
students report that they have difficulty grasping the principles
or keeping up with the lessons. So even while they yearn for the
spiritual freedom the Course offers, they put the book aside,
hoping to get to it one day. Alan Cohen, ACIM student and teacher
of more than 30 years, takes the big-picture ideas of the Course
and brings them down to earth in 22 concise, easy-to-understand
chapters. Featuring entertaining examples, stories and real-life
applications, this unique, reader-friendly guide will prove
invaluable to longtime ACIM students and newcomers alike.
In a prophetic vision, God showed me the evangelical churches of
North America channeling all their spiritual energy into the works
of their own hands, enshrining these works as a divine
manifestation of God while living in rebellion to His word of
truth. We have forsaken the mandate of the Azusa Street Revival and
have been shutting the door more and more to all possibilities for
any future revivals and awakenings in North America. If the church
does not wake up from its spiritual slumber, all will soon be lost.
The purpose of this book is to reveal to the body of Christ in
North America and the rest of the world where we have gone wrong
and how to turn back to God in much-needed repentance. It is my
prayer that through this book, a new spirit of righteousness will
be awakened in true believers everywhere and that they would be
energized into a new mindset of desiring something authentic from
God's Holy Spirit, no longer clinging to that which is religious
and familiar. Lord let the evangelical churches of North America be
set free from the entanglements of their own cultural and social
bondages and allow the true love of Jesus Christ to reign in their
hearts, churches, and communities. Let the real spirit of the
Christ be their guide.
Amen.
Do you want your life to really count? If so, you must learn to
make the right choices because the choices you make turn around to
make you. The way you choose has the potential of increasing or
decreasing your joy in life. Making a quality choice between
several alternatives is tough. To ease the path and alleviate the
problem of making wrong choices, this book presents twelve major
criteria you should consider in making choices. These criteria
include: The Greatest Tragedy The Greatest Mistake The Greatest
Priority The Greatest Knowledge The Greatest Pursuit The Greatest
Motive The Greatest Motivation The Greatest Influence The Greatest
Enemy The Greatest Friend The Greatest Helper The Greatest Power
These criteria affect our personal, social, and spiritual life.
Choosing the best involves making choices in view of the criteria.
It involves having priorities and being focused in life. Choosing
the best is knowing what God wants you to accomplish in life and
investing your resources-time, talent, and treasure-on just that.
In short, it is to live for the things that really matter in the
long run.
"I would love to look more like Jesus. But I just can't . . . "
Many Christians are longing for change. They make an intentional
effort, but when they realize they are not making any progress,
they become frustrated. In this book, the author uses 2 Corinthians
3:18 to point us to a way to expect everything from Jesus and his
Spirit. You only need to do one thing: Look to Jesus in faith and
enjoy his glorious radiation Then the Spirit will increasingly
reproduce Jesus' own glorious beauty in your life. Via this new
approach, Jos Douma knows how to touch and articulate the core of
the Christian faith. In doing so, he shows how the Christian life
is really worthy living.
With The Wilton Translation of the New Testament, Clyde Wilton has
sought to provide an accurate translation of the New Testament from
Greek into English. It is the result of many years of study, and
although this work has as its text the Greek New Testament (United
Bibles Societies, third ed.), Clyde has drawn from a wide variety
of sources to make his translation as accurate as possible to
original text.
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
