The renowned occult scholar Arthur Edward Waite left no stone
unturned when preparing this meticulously researched volume on the
life and works of the French mystic Louis Claude de Saint-Martin.
Drawing on contemporary biographies, correspondences, and all the
source materials that were available to him at the time, he put
together a biography and summary of Saint-Martin s work that is
still unsurpassed to this day. This edition is presented with
modernised typography and a new and expanded index.
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.
Christians' Lies investigates and resolves specific false
doctrines that are shared by Christians. Among these lies, we will
investigate false Sabbaths, false beliefs about death, false ideas
about the manner of Jesus' return to Earth, wrong suppositions
about the debates on Creationism and evolution, the "gift" of
tongues misinterpretations, what Jesus is doing in heaven, and
where we are all going. As interesting doctrines have sprouted from
misconceptions and misinterpretations, it is Christians' Lies' goal
to offer simple but powerful solutions to correct our lies by
replacing our lies with God's truth. You will be blessed with
understanding.
Are you living your life in a state of joy, gratitude and
thankfulness? Do you laugh a lot and feel like it's Christmas every
day? If not, then this book is meant for you.Many of us instead
live our lives feeling depressed, anxious and unhappy. We race home
from work only to be overloaded with even more work around the
house. Rather than enjoying our lives and interpersonal
relationships, we tend to lose sight of what's really important and
instead focus on acquiring material things and the numerous work
tasks needed to get done. We may have forgotten how to play and
enjoy life. The more debt we take on, the more pressured our lives
become as well. Some of us are also angry inside, holding onto
grudges and feeling like we have been victimized by another's
thoughts, words and deeds. Feeling victimized, we may then lash out
in anger at the people closest to us and do harm to those we love.
Harnessing the Force both simplifies the wellness concepts and
expands upon the spiritual content of my previous book, The Force

soul within in order to make beautiful soul music without. It will

Spirit is well worth the pursuit.
This book deals about the Islamic Gnosticism and present a
comprehensive narrative about the Theoretical Gnosticism
(Irfan-e-Nazari). In accordance with Islamic Ideology the most
exalted aim of God and his divinely appointed prophets is the
training and guidance of human being in their spiritual journey
from earthly temporary abode towards the eternal God's
Celestial-Kingdom. The main contents of the book as mentioned
earlier are the etiquette and instructions of Gnostic journey, ways
and manners of servitude, detailed descriptions of deeds and
worships that must be performed by a wayfarer, and what sort of
behaviors and restrictions they must practice in order to attain
the desired results. The book consists of preface and three parts
covering the following topics: Self-purification, Human Virtues,
What to be?, Heart in Qur'an, Hard-heartedness, Self-refinement,
Self-struggle, Egotism, Worldliness, Piety, Characteristics of the
Pious, Repentance or Self-Cleansing, Training and Perfection of
Self, Faith, Means of Achieving Perfection and God's Nearness,
Invocations, Instructions, Obstacles of the Path, Nourishment of
Moral Virtues, Righteous Deeds etc. The most prevalent
misunderstanding about Islamic Mysticism which must be clarified is
that relinquishment of worldly involvement, seclusion, and
monasticism are not prerequisites for undertaking a spiritual
migration towards God-Almighty; on the contrary, as it would be
shown in the later part of this book, Islam demands from its
followers that while living among the people a normal social life
discharging the individual and collective obligations, they
shouldn't be negligent of their own selves and must pay special
attention towards their spiritual purification.

Eric Hanson claimed to follow the most remarkable person in
history, yet his life was as exciting as sugarless gum. Confronted
with a disparity between a promise of abundant life and what he saw
in life surrounding him, he left everything behind for a year to
travel around the globe through the world's poorest countries.
Refugees, hermits, prostitutes, mobs, secret police, monks, and
a motorcycle gang. A dangerous journey introduces us to a fresh
side of faith, God, and a fulfilling life.
"My eyes were opening to whole new levels of pain and poverty,
darkness and despair, I saw new and altogether beautiful things
become real to me. The Bible is full of God's promises of healing
and restoration, but those words always seemed plastic and hollow
to me. For the first time in my life, I began to see God move and
heal-to truly touch people in the midst of unbearable pain. And in
that, God's message of restoration suddenly took on a significant,
real-life meaning to me.
As I watched Jose's transformation, my heart was ripped from my
chest and squeezed until my muted soul could hear God whispering
that this-real change, real love, not contrite phrases in an old
book-was the heart of God for His people."
"Eric has written a powerful, endearing account of his
adventures around the world. But this isn't a book that will leave
you feeling helpless. It will give you faith in your own story and
hope for living a more meaningful one." -Jeff Goins, author,
Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into Your Comfortable Life
Only the few can claim to be the best of all or better than anyone
else in a particular endeavor or accomplishment. But most of the
rest of us can claim significant success within a sphere unique to
each of us-the personality only you in the whole world can claim
and the mix of challenges and opportunities only you are
confronting. To assure your progress in this personal arena, author
John R. Gunn offers clues to your personalized success through 75
of the time-honored Bible Proverbs that encase the wisdom and
practical help that has guided adherents of the world's most
renowned religions over the centuries. "In a time such as ours-one
of massive change, competing claims to truth, and deep
uncertainty-the need for true wisdom becomes urgent. In these
reflections from the Book of Proverbs by John R. Gunn, we encounter
afresh the power of biblical wisdom, a wisdom our culture
desperately needs. Gunn was an articulate and prolific minister
whose insightful and faithful sermons and newspaper columns spoke
confident and wise truths to the first half of the twentieth
century. Now, through this volume, those truths speak powerfully to
a new generation." Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of Preaching,
Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta GA. John R.
Gunn's popular syndicated newspaper columns on inspirational themes
appeared for over fifty years in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.
His messages also reached listeners over 2,000 radio stations plus
the Armed Forces Radio Network through the broadcast "Be Still and
Know." Other of his books recently published include Those Loving
Feelings: The Song of Solomon for Newlyweds and Under the Gunn:
Inspiration for Preachers. For more resources by and information
