Based on the writings of Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn, "The Mythical Life of
Jesus Christ" provides an interpretation of the Bible that shows
the full, clear, and hidden meaning of ancient mythology and
religion. It describes how the Bible is not a record of objective
historical occurrences, but rather a collection of allegorical,
mythical, dramatic, and symbolic sagas.Author Larry Marshall has
compiled the writings of Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn, a lecturer, teacher,
and scholar. Kuhn claims the roots of Christianity can be found in
the Egyptian religion. Through his writings, Kuhn shows there is no
historical evidence for Jesus-that his life is instead based on the
Egyptian god Horus. He further claims that the New Testament of the
Bible and its events-the virgin birth, the baptism, the
temptations, the crucifixion, and resurrection-should be
interpreted allegorically. Marshall believes Kuhn has unlocked the
essence of Christianity and, as a result, challenges the church's
fraudulent orthodoxy.
Who's to Blame? is an autobiography focusing on the author's life,
his misfortunes, his quest to seek and make sense of those
misfortunes, and who caused them: God, Satan, or himself?
Resolutions are found once man accounts and takes responsibility
for his faults, understanding Satan's role and God's permissible
will in all that happened. This book challenges Christians to focus
on grace, mercy, and faithfulness of God, have fellowship with him,
account for their sins, know Satan's tactics, and understand God's
discipline and blessing. He further encourages believers to study
God's word on a daily basis in order to know the will of God, grow
spiritually, and know how to recover when backsliding. The book
wishes unbelievers to come to Christ and accept him as their only
hope and savior.
Why are some people rich and successful?
How did they achieve success?
Did they have an external influence, or did they succeed through
their own hard work?
We all have desires and aspirations for money, power, and fame.
At the back of it is the need for financial security and
achievement. Although these things are common across people, there
is a huge variation as to what different people achieve in life.
What are the reasons for this anomaly?
The reasons lie within us. Although there is no restriction in
having dreams and wishes, we set very low targets and goals for
ourselves. The hard fact is that you may achieve 70 percent or 90
percent of your target, but you will never achieve more than your
target. By setting lower targets and by having lower aspirations,
you are only stunting your growth. To start with, all of us have
same the potential, but most of us are not even aware of the powers
of our mind and our body.
Professor Ahluwalia highlights all these aspects and lays down
the road map for you to realize your power and potential and how to
succeed in life, achieving the success you richly deserve.
This book helps the Body of Christ come to a deeper
understanding of warfare coupled with gaining greater appreciation
for what is at the heart of the war. Readers gain valuable insight
into this important facet of the faith journey Christians
undertake.
God's Chosen: Understanding Spiritual Warfare offers Christians
the basis to learn and use the means God affords, namely His full
armor equipped with His strength and mighty power. Believers
prepare and fight triumphantly against evil and wicked forces by
putting on His full armor. God equips them to fight offensively and
defensively.
Knowing Jesus fixed the fight in believers' favor help to
confidently oppose the enemy and remain faithful to God. Through
conscious engagement in this fight believers stand firmly winning
against all odds.
In 2005, during prayer, the Holy Spirit inspired me to write
this book on spiritual warfare. I was going through a precarious
time and as usual, I sought God in prayer and study of the Word.
The Holy Spirit led me to Ephesians 6:10-18. As I studied and
meditated, God moved me to begin writing on the subject of warfare.
During research and study, I discovered there are not enough books
recording this phase of the Christian's journey. Therefore, I saw
the need to press through varied attacks to produce this work.
Do the laws of nature prohibit the possibility of direct divine
intervention? After the crucifixion, did God really present Jesus
in some form to disciples and to others? What is the core of Jesus'
good news ("gospel"), how does it differ from Paul's good news, and
how relevant is it to today's world? A physics teacher gives his
personal answers to these questions.
Known in Pennsylvania Dutch as Brauche or Braucherei, the
folk-healing practice of powwowing was thought to draw upon the
power of God to heal all manner of physical and spiritual ills. Yet
some people believed-and still believe today-that this power to
heal came not from God, but from the devil. Controversy over
powwowing came to a climax in 1929 with the York Hex Murder Trial,
in which one powwower killed another who, he believed, had placed a
hex on him. Based on seven years of fieldwork and extensive
interviews, David Kriebel's study reveals the vibrant world,
history, and culture of powwowing in southeastern and central
Pennsylvania. He describes, compares, and contrasts powwowing
practices of the past and the present; discusses in detail the
belief in powwowing as healing; and assesses the future of
Braucherei. Biographical sketches of seven living powwowers shed
additional light on this little-understood topic. A groundbreaking
inquiry into Pennsylvania German culture and history, Powwowing
Among the Pennsylvania Dutch opens a window onto an archaic,
semi-mystical tradition still very much in practice today.
