"THE TIME IS NOW " After beginning this book thirty years ago, I realize now is the time people are ready for transformation and will accept learning about the miraculous life of my master teacher, Dr. DJ Bussell. What he did and the miracles he performed that seemed impossible are explained and taught in this book. At the age of twenty-seven, I found Dr. Bussell, a teacher I had been searching for since I was a child. He answered all my questions and daily exemplified the philosophy of Chirothesia and the Universal Laws in action. I saw a woman healed of blindness, a man cured of epilepsy, a man who robbed a bank surrender himself, a man with a severed spinal cord walk, and I learned the secret teachings of the Essenes, authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls that were found in 1947. The Law of Cause and Effect is in operation constantly, and the six Universal Laws that will transform your life are: the Law of Breath, the Law of Harmony, the Law of Abundance, the Law of Health, the Law of Right Action, and the Law of Protection. You will learn how to heal by Breath, settle arguments and transform situations by Harmony, be in expanding and fulfilling Abundance, always be in the right place at the right time with the right people in Right Action, and protect your home and loved ones by Protection. Everyone wants to be happy, healthy, secure, and loved. Knowing and practicing these Universal Laws daily will transform your life. It did, for everyone I met. I know. I was there.

Recent years have seen increasing numbers of Protestant and Catholic Christians converting to Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In this book D. Oliver Herbel examines Christian converts to Orthodoxy who served as exemplars and leaders for convert movements in America during the twentieth century. These convert groups include Carpatho Rusyns, African Americans, and Evangelicals. Religious mavericks have a long history in Americaa tradition of being anti-tradition. Converts to orthodoxy reject such individualism by embracing an ancient form of Christianity even as they exemplify it by choosing their own religious paths. Drawing on archival resources including Rusyn and Russian newspapers, unpublished internal church documents, personal archives, and personal interviews, Herbel presents a close examination of the theological reasons for the exemplary converts' own conversions as well as the reasons they offered to persuade those who followed them. He considers the conversions within the context of the American anti-tradition, and of racial and ethnic tensions in America. This book offers the first serious investigation of this important trend in American religion and the first in-depth investigation of any kind of African-American Orthodoxy.

When a woman from Samaria comes to draw water at Jacob's well, Jesus, known prophetically as Shiloh, Prince of Peace, offers her an incredible gift-living water. All she has to do is ask, which, by the way, still applies today. Jesus explains that everyone who drinks from His well, even those of questionable character like her, will never be thirsty again, and the water will become a spring welling up to eternal life (NIV). In Shiloh's Well you can read all about an overflowing, abundant life that is available to all those who drink of this miraculous living water. "My prayer is that these pages will proclaim a clear, unequivocal message of eternal hope and spiritual truth pointing to the God who has sustained and blessed me my entire life. May Shiloh's Well make you smile, touch your heart, lead you humbly to the feet of Christ, enlighten your spiritual understanding, and challenge your commitment to Christian service "

"Santo Daime: A New World Religion" deals with a young, exotic and controversial religious movement. Emerging in the Brazilian Amazon in the 1930s, Santo Daime has since spread to many of the world's major cities. Santo Daime is a mixture of indigenous, popular Catholic, Afro-Brazilian, esoteric, Spiritist, and new age beliefs and activities. Ritual practice is centred on the consumption of a psychotropic beverage called 'Daime' which members believe enhances their interaction with the supernatural world. Because Daime is treated as an illegal narcotic in many parts of the world, outside of its Brazilian homeland most Santo Daime rituals are practised clandestinely. This book unites extensive fieldwork experience with an established theoretical background and makes a significant contribution to understanding the contemporary interface of religion and late-modern society. Individualization and religious subjectivism, pluralization and religious hybridism, transformation and detraditionalization, globalization and religious identity, and commoditization and religious consumption are among the many issues engaged by this book. "Santo Daime: A New World Religion" is an accessible and multi-disciplinary book suitable for undergraduate students and researchers working in Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion, Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Latin American Studies.
