After teaching and ministering twenty two years as a Christian pastor and evangelist, author Dhungarvn the Grey became disillusioned with the self-righteous membership and church politics. He left the ministry and began searching for the truth. In his re-evaluation of his concept of God and prayer, he reconnected with nature and the idea of nature-based spirituality. His soul stirred with a yearning toward paganism. From Pulpit to Pagan is the story of Dhungarvn the Grey's journey from Christianity to paganism and his quest for truth. Horus, Mithra, Krishna, and Jesus all told their followers, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." The truth about Christianity frees the pagan of the guilt-trips inflicted by well-meaning family members. It frees them from the tendency to credit Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus with more truth than is valid. It frees them from the missionary traps and ignorant attacks by evangelicals. Dhungarvn suspects that many in the pagan community are programmed by their family experience and Christian upbringing; they hold onto the Bible and Jesus out of unconscious fear and guilt. From Pulpit to Pagan details Dhungarvn's struggles, but also provides hope for other pagans to become truly free.

The Problems With Religion answers common questions about religion including, what is religion, where did it come from and why are most people religious? The book primarily focuses on the major monotheistic religions of today, what problems they present to a harmonious world of peace, health and mutual respect. Finally, Dr. Barrett describes what we all can do to move ourselves out of these problems and toward a safe and tolerant world.

An unabridged edition of The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, to include a Table of Texts of Evangelists addressed, and Jefferson's overall religious views by way of correspondence with Dr. Benjamin Rush (1803) followed by a note to Mr. Charles Thompson, with two replicated pages in Jefferson's own handwriting.

Jonathan M.S. Pearce's second book (after Free Will?) continues along the same philosophical and theological vein, aiming to provide a cumulative case against the existence of God, and more specifically, God's triple characteristics of omniscience, omnipotence and omnibenevolence. Split into useful categories with an introduction to each category, these are questions that demand to be answered adequately and plausibly in order for the believer to retain a rationally-based faith. Pearce's easy writing style and explanation of philosophy, theology and science on the popular level make this book as enjoyable to read as it is thought-provoking. Does God change his mind when prayed to, and why has he never produced a miracle since biblical times that couldn't have occurred naturally anyway, like re-growing an amputee's leg? God only knows. "Pearce demands from God a rational explanation to all of the problems that seem illogical or incoherent. These are ... damningly challenging inconsistencies in the Christian narrative that necessarily antagonize any rational reader. If you are still or used to be Christian, "The Little Book of Unholy Questions" is an overview of the critical questions you need to be asking yourself." - Derek Murphy, Jesus Potter Harry Christ

This thought provoking and encouraging book, serves as both a handbook for those that desire an intimate encounter with God and a guide for the overcomer, searching for spiritual freedom and victory in their lives today

"I call heaven to witness that I also thoroughly despised those who laughed at the simplicity of the blind people, those who furnished piously considerable sums of money to buy prayers. How horrible this monopoly I do not blame the disdain which those who grow rich by your sweat and your pains, show for their mysteries and their superstitions; but I detest their insatiable cupidity and the signal pleasure such fellows take in railing at the ignorance of those whom they carefully keep in this state of blindness. Let them content themselves with laughing at their own ease, but at least let them not multiply their errors by abusing the blind piety of those who, by their simplicity, procured them such an easy life. You render unto me, my brethren, the justice that is due me. The sympathy which I manifested for your troubles saves me from the least suspicion. How often have I performed gratuitously the functions of my ministry. How often also has my heart been grieved at not being able to assist you as often and as abundantly as I could have wished Have I not always proved to you that I took more pleasure in giving than in receiving? I carefully avoided exhorting you to bigotry, and I spoke to you as rarely as possible of our unfortunate dogmas. It was necessary that I should acquit myself as a priest of my ministry, but how often have I not suffered within myself when I was forced to preach to you those pious lies which I despised in my heart. What a disdain I had for my ministry, and particularly for that superstitious Mass, and those ridiculous administrations of sacraments, especially if I was compelled to perform them with the solemnity which awakened all your piety and all your good faith. What remorse I had for exciting your credulity A thousand times upon the point of bursting forth publicly, I was going to open your eyes, but a fear superior to my strength restrained me and forced me to silence until my death."

The purpose of this book is to teach you how to receive Healing and Deliverance from God. The simple keys in this book will work for anyone that will take the time to apply them. I had scriptures and healing materials from three different sources and didn't understand how to apply the materials. I was sick and continued to get worst with the keys from God's word at my fingertips. I didn't understand God's word. I didn't understand how to apply God's word. I didn't understand God's system of operation. A simple six-minute thumb surgery caused me to have a stroke, damaging the entire right side of my body. I received damage to my entire nervous system. I started having uncontrollable full body muscle spasms. I started having problems with my heart, breathing and blood pressure. My mouth would draw up to the right side of my face and there were constant trembles of my arms and legs. I had problems sleeping and my body temperatures increased to 100 degrees or more. I was sensitive to touch, cool temperatures and light. I could not control my own body movements at times and I had problems walking and talking. Touching my skull, neck, back and checking my reflexes would cause me to go into uncontrollable full body muscle spasms. I was told that I had a muscle build-up where there should not be any muscle and because of this muscle build-up and the massive strength that I had developed; I could break a bone in my neck. A doctor told me: due to the amount of time that I suffered and the complexity of the problems I had, that they would be with me for the rest of my life. The problems could not be fixed, repaired and there was no cure. I was seen by at least thirty or more doctors without any help. I felt sure I was going to die from all of the problems in my body. I could see myself dead lying in a casket. I decided that I was going to murder three of the doctors. God led me to a church where I received understanding of God's word. I learned God's system of operation. I also learned how to apply God's word to my life for the healing and deliverance that I needed. As a result of understanding and applying God's word to my life, in a three-month process I was delivered from the spirit of murder and healed from all of the damage to my entire body. I suffered for three years and two months because of the lack of understanding of God's word. I am still delivered, healed and have been teaching God's word for healing and deliverance for eleven years now.
The principles in this book are the principles that I learned and applied to my life and received my healing and deliverance from God's word. The principles in this book are the same principles that I have been teaching for the last eleven years and they are still delivering and healing God's people today. People are being healed and delivered by understanding and applying the principles in this book. The principles in this book will work for anyone that will take the time to apply them.

When Tertium Organum burst onto the New York literary scene its author, P. D. Ouspensky, was unaware of it. Piotr Demianovich Ouspensky, the most famous pupil of Greco-Armenian spiritual teacher George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, had written Kluck Kzaradkam (the original title) in his native Russian and it had been published in St. Petersburg in 1912. At the time of its New York debut his whereabouts were unknown. A Russian by the name of Nicholas Bessarabof had emigrated to America before the 1917 Russian Revolution and had taken the book with him. He gave a copy to architect Claude Bragdon who could read Russian and was interested in forth-dimensional consciousness. After reading the book a friend echoed Bragdons' sentiments saying; He has recently discovered a young Russian who "seems to us remarkable in many ways." The man has introduced him to Ouspensky and his book on the fourth dimension called Tertium Organum. Bragdon believes this book to be the "long sought New Testament of the Sixth Race which will justify the meekness of the saint, the vision of the mystic, and create a new heaven and a new earth." He is currently collaborating with Bessarabof on an English translation.A " In 1920 without Ouspensky's knowledge, Bragdon and Bessarabof published the book in English through Manas Press in New York. Meanwhile Ouspensky, a journalist and destitute author, had arrived in Constantinople with hardly a penny to his name. Later that year he was gratified to receive a substantial royalty check, and the news that Tertium Organum was a publishing success in English, and that his fame in literary circles was assured. In 1921 he wrote, "This translation, made without my knowledge and participation, at a time when I was cut off by war and revolution from the civilized world, transmits my thought so exactly that after a very attentive review of the book I could find only one word to correct. Such a result could be achieved only because Mr. Bessarabof and Mr. Bragdon were not translating words merely, but were grasping directly my thoughts at the back of them." In May 1921 Ouspensky received the sum of GBP100 from Lady Rothermere who was in Rochester, New York; it was wired with the message: 'Deeply impressed by your book Tertium Organum - wish to meet you in New York or London - will pay all expenses.' This invitation gave Ouspensky the opportunity to move to England where he secured Gurdjieff's permission to write a book on his philosophy. Ouspensky spent the next twenty years in England lecturing and teaching Gurdjieff's ideas and developing his own philosophy. His lectures in London were attended by such literary figures as Aldous Huxley, T. S. Eliot, and other writers, journalists and doctors. His influence on the literary scene of the 1920's and 1930's as well as on the Russian avant-garde was huge but today he is not widely known.

From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."

Gospel in the Rosary: Bible Study on the Mysteries of Christ focuses on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries that relate closely to the life of Jesus and that are clearly presented in the Bible. In keeping with the affirmation of John Paul II "that everything in the life of Jesus is a sign of his Mystery" and that there is a need to supply the biblical foundations on which the mysteries are based, additional Bible studies have been included under the Glorious Mysteries. These studies focus on two dialogues that Jesus had (Nicodemus, The Samaritan Woman) and two parables that he taught (The Prodigal Son, the Rich Man and Lazarus). Through these Bible lessons we can come to a clearer understanding of the love of God and of the mission of Jesus to draw us near to our Heavenly Father, and to prepare us for our life with him in heaven.

The Heathen's Guide to World Religions is a humorous but accurate history of the murder, lust, greed, and sheer stupidity that have made the world's religions what they are today. "Hopper represents the most lethal of organized religions many opponents: a curious, well-educated individual with a sharp wit." Queen's University Journal Review "Wickedly fun and informative." Toronto Star "The Heathen's Guide To World Religions has taken up permanent residence on my bookshelves... a masterfully written, wonderfully funny, and deliciously snarky trip down religious lane." Al Stefanelli, UNITED ATHEIST FRONT. "Like Monty Python in religious garb... easily one of the best places to invest your book buying dollar." Georgia Straight
