Defining Life in Him, through Him, and because of Him!
Have you been in denial about your lifestyle? If so, it's time to come clean and get real! In From Homosexuality to Christ, the author shares his personal struggles with homosexuality and how he reconciled his lifestyle with the church's teachings.
I never felt like it was wrong because as far as I can remember it felt normal and right-until I met Jesus Christ. The Lord showed me through His Word that homosexuality was just sin like any other sin. He also showed me that I could change through the help of God. I learned that God loves me no matter what.

God loves mankind and created all in the likeness of His own image. Let's stop destroying-through bias, judgment, and criticism- what He has created, and experience the profound love God has for us all.

THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll: Lectures V4, by Robert G. Ingersoll. To purchase the entire book, please order ISBN 0766172732.

Every culture has its gods. According to Ingersoll, every culture has failed to develop properly in moral and spiritual ways, mainly because the gods of man were made by man. They originally appeared within our flawed minds, and therefore resemble their flawed creators. The Gods cannot "rescue" us when they, like us, are in a constant battle for recognition and supremacy, either among themselves or with the gods of other religions. This book will make you think about the nature of deity and will challenge your critical thinking skills. The author continually brings to our attention the nagging feeling that something is not right, especially as it relates to what we have been traditionally taught. Many of his arguments are strong and compelling, while others may be challenged and debated through deeper examination. Whatever the case, this is an insightful book that is well worth exploring.

And for others who simply enjoy reading timeless pieces of classic literature, this gem by David Hume is highly recommended. Published by Classic Books International and beautifully produced, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion would make an ideal gift and it should be a part of everyone's personal library.

DID YOU KNOW THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES ARE PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION THAT USHER IN THE ANTICHRIST?
All of bible prophecy has been fulfilled for the antichrist to come to power.
However, there are 3 world events that need to be implemented in order for the antichrist to come to power and become the world leader.
1.) The nations of the world need to be ready to accept and implement a One-World Order and Government, allowing for a single world ruler.
2.) The world needs to be ready and willing to be on a One-World Currency and Banking System, which will allow the antichrist to control what the citizens of the entire world can buy and sell.
3.) Once the Holy Spirit has been removed by way of the Raptured Christians, The New One-World Government will gather the leaders of the top religions together and unite them under a One-World Religion already in existence today and growing rapidly.
These three biblical and historical events are already taking place today in our own government. You can see this for yourself at www.thewitnessalliance.com Video News Page. The Rapture can happen at any moment. In this book you will learn who is responsible, what organizations to watch, and just how close we are to these events being implemented. As you walk with the author verse by verse through the pages of Revelation. You will experience the tribulation first hand, as though you have missed the rapture and were left behind. You will deal with every catastrophic event as it happens from day to day and month to month, surviving each event only to take on another of even greater challenge. As you walk with the author through the tribulation, you will experience the joys of victory, the challenges of surviving and the destructive and evil treatment of the tribulation saints; all of this at the hands of the antichrist. Up to this point, everything has been prophecy of future events, but that future is NOW
I am delighted to recommend this book written by my friend of over 20 years and brother in the ministry of our Lord to any student of the Bible. Never have I seen a book explain Revelation as though you are actually living through the Tribulation. This book get's you to thinking in ways you never thought of before. After reading this book, I fell down on my knees and prayed that God would use this scholarly work to help thousands of souls prepare for the soon coming Lord Jesus."
-Pastor Glen Aycock, Southern Baptist Minister

This rare, soul-searching book, reveals the spiritual power of the famous Rosicrucian, Robert Boyle. He takes you by his gentle hand and guides you to the love of God. This may be the first time it has ever been offered to the spiritually hungry world since 1708.

"Sometimes I have a difficult time accepting my good fortune to be living at this particular time -- nothing has made me feel more that way than reading Dr. Jerome's fascinating, realistic, and informative book. It is a "treasure house" of wonderful information, useful knowledge, and excellent writing.
This book essentially takes the basic religious truths that have been handed down to us over hundreds of years from our major world religions and shows how current findings in subatomic particle physics, quantum theory, and laser technology gives us a way of seeing how they may well be agreeing on the same basic truths that construct and maintain our matter and spiritual existence.
Larry Dossey, M.D., President of Isthmus Institute and author of "Space, Time, and Medicine" and "Beyond Illness," has written an excellent introduction and endorses Dr. Jerome's work. I believe that any creditable scientist would do the same and certainly every New Thought student should be enthusiastic about the work. This book is not 'another scientific text.' It is that, of course, but is so much more and such 'fun' reading. Take a look at this book which is entertaining, informative, and above all else, a book which has great application to daily living." -- Jack H. Holland, PhD., D.D. -- Theologian, Reviewer of scientific and theological literature for "The New Thought Quarterly," and Director of The Institute for Human Growth and Awareness.
"Dr. Jerome's book just might be one of the most important books of this era. It explains the holographic nature of God's consciousness in terms that are understandable." -- Tommy Sellers, communications expert in computer science and laser research.
"Dr. Jerome personifies a new breed of human now emerging. He is a scientist who realizes that his science represents only part of the path to understand his existence and his reality. It is an essential part, but incomplete in itself. To be whole, to be balanced in life, he knows it is necessary to discover the path's other essential part.
As the parts of the path become visible before him, Dr. Jerome integrates them for us. As he says in his preface:
If science is right, and if religion is also
right, then they must allude to the same
basic truths. The quest to uncover this
'sameness' is the goal of this book
This is a sensitive and beautiful book written by an admirable man. It deserves to be read, then pondered, then reread, and finally, referred to often." -- John C. Carls, PhD. in particle physics and author of "What It Means To Be Human."

LCCN: 2009936698 The author asserts that if there is no God, then fifty-five absurdities follow such as: humans possess no unique value, there is no objective morality, the existence of humanity has no meaning or purpose. Without a transcendent standard or source, pursuits and values are delusions of the human species. The information required for the intricate complexity of the universe, from nothing or chaos to life on earth and the structure of the cosmos, has no contributor in the absence of a transcendent intelligence. In the year of his death in 1955, the revered scientist Albert Einstein clarified his formerly ambiguous views: "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God" (Calaprice, ed., The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Princeton, 2010, p.325).

Is Your Life Controlled by Spiritual Confusion, Religious Rituals or Important Unanswered Questions?
This is a masterpiece and I feel that the body of Christ will be more enlightened by reading this book ...thought provoking, illuminating to the mind, revelatory, honest explanation of God's word...the answers to questions that the normal Christian is afraid to ask...extensive and comprehensive coverage." (Allan Young, Chair: Teacher Education and Public Administration, University College of the Cayman Islands)
"Spiritual Illumination: Honest Questions From The Heart" provides your opportunity to explore the corridors of life for yourself...and to embrace a real purpose for living. While not intending to generate unnecessary offence, this revolutionary book challenges many long-standing convictions, raises delicate religious issues, confronts countless "holy cows" and unmasks deadly, diabolic deceptions. These brief Chapters, alongside the accompanying "Reflections" will definitely lead the honest reader to discover viable, authentic spiritual options...especially in an age when many confusing voices are clamoring for attention with enticing offers of "peace," "unity," "love," "health," "prosperity" and "eternal life." This book challenges you to make some hard, conscious, personal, eternal decisions.

Discussions about belief and non-belief usually end up, time and time again, in the concept of religion, but in this book the author has started from the premise that we need to separate the concept of God, from the notion of human institutions and organized religion. The real issue, he argues, is that the concept of God is poorly explored by believers, and greatly explored by non-believers, when in reality should be the opposite. As religious people grow up in religious environments, at some point God becomes just a word without a definition, and people lose perspective of what they really mean when they say: I do believe in God. So, in this book he takes on straight on the concept of God, the nature of faith, the connection between God and religion, how worshipping has evolved and the actual possibility of morality in the absence of believe. As in his first book he has made every attempt to express his ideas in a simple, straight-forward manner, without being condescending to the believers and inviting them to learn about atheism and humanism without a push to stop believing. His only true objective is to promote reason and tolerance, and both believers and non-believers alike will find his work enticing, and thought-provoking. This book is the second (and last) in the "Inside a Non-Believer's" Mind series. On the first part (my Journey from Christianity to Freethinking), the author shared his ideas about the reasons to become a humanist and freethinker.

This discussion guide is designed to facilitate the use of David Berlinski's book The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions in small groups, adult Sunday School classes, adult education seminars, and book discussion clubs. The guide contains brief summaries of each chapter followed by discussion questions for that chapter.

Put two contrarians together and shake well. -Christianity Today The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative-a glimpse into the ongoing debate.

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."

In Living in the Now, the author distills her experience in Eastern and Western philosophy, as well as the works of contemporary thinkers and teachers, into practical and manageable ways of becoming mindful of the present to reduce stress and improve one's quality of life. She presents the obstacles to mindfulness encountered by people with different personality traits, and gently and sensibly negotiates their identification with the ego. Her clear style helps the reader to navigate complex topics such as the delusion of time, and her practical exercises at the end of each chapter consolidate her wisdom, allowing readers to internalise it. Among many others, the perfectionist, the procrastinator and the controller will learn the elegance of living in the present, and realise, with relief, that they can stop resisting their lives and become more fulfilled.

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.
