About "Uninformed Conscience" John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. says "If a nation or church forms its people to accept assertions blindly, without supporting evidence, it will form a community not of moral agents but of menaces. They may be sincere, but they will be sincere menaces." AMERICA, June 21-28, 2010, pg 9] Conscience speaks to the meaning of Eucharist. If we buy in to the Eucharistic Theology of the Cosmic Christ, we must be open to the vital coinage of death. The multiplication of many from one is the miracle of divine/ human hypostasis, the miracle of the largesse of symbiotic life. The amplification of life speaks to the truth that less is more, that unless the seed dies there is no flourishing and amplification of life. Individuality resources multiplicity even as multiplicity resources individuality; spirituality is resurrection-consciousness, the energy of prevision and provision that does not die but transforms and transfers into multiplicity. Resurrection is the consciousness of self-reflective vitality. About Eucharist, right as grain says it best. It is in dying that we live; it is in giving that we receive; that we become one with Other-the personal oneness of Eucharist in the Cosmic Christ. Wisdom is Eucharistic consciousness, the intentional embrace of transformation. In mindfulness we become the "good seed" that greens the greater abundance of life. The greening of life from the dying seed informs the adage "better to give than receive." And so must be our individual relationship with each other and nature. What Self Donation Is is about living the fulfilled, abundant life of informed conscience, not by blind submission to cultural death as imposed by worldview blindness of staticism and centrism. Faith in absolutism is blind; openness to evolution is visionary. Absolutism misinforms conscience and cultures premature death; transformation informs and matures open life.

The Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit seeks to propel us into the presence of the Most High God, allowing entry into the spiritual realm?one that we were created to be part of. God was thinking about us before He created us; thus, we were spirits before we were ever adorned with this flesh. Our spirit knows no age, but does increase in power and ability. This power increases until we reach eternity, our beginning with no end. God created precious gifts for us to enjoy along the way?the gifts of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12 in the Holy Bible. He gave us the gifts of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, and tongues and their interpretation. We are given common words of wisdom to keep us reverent to God, allowing Him to guide our daily lives. The Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit explains that these common and special gifts are all given by God, the Holy Spirit, and they unlock the potential for us to have a spiritual encounter of the grandest magnitude.

In "A Great Silence in the Land," K.W. Swain adamantly defends the Holy Bible--the actual dictation of the Holy Spirit who inspired holy men of old first to speak it, then to record it, and later translate it on its way around the globe to spread the Gospel of Christ.   It is the Word of the Holy Spirit, and His watch care over it is described in a small but interesting history of the KJV.Why has it been disavowed? Could it be the desire of today's world to be free of its "outdated" commands and the torment of conscience that has extinguished it as a light to the nations?Could this time of great wickedness be a result of its silence?The Holy Bible tells us how the world began and how it will end, but the world in its pleasures is blind to prophecy that is being fulfilled even now. Is the Book of The Revelation coming to life before our eyes? Here is an awakening look at the signs of the times. Believers will have much to think about. Unbelievers will scoff, but as events make headlines, even they may be surprised.

Despite the best of intentions, many Christians fail to lead the type of committed spiritual life that they desire. The pace of life and cultural pressures drive them to be over-committed. They lack space and time in their lives to regain their spiritual poise. This book reviews the historical practice of personal spiritual retreat and demonstrates that it has as much applicability to the modern Christian as it has had to countless others over the centuries. Not only is there historical precedent, but biblical as well. Besides presenting the theological arguments for experiencing retreat, the book also gives practical insights into the timing, location, and activities in which to engage while on a personal spiritual retreat. There is also a discussion on how to keep the spirit of retreat alive throughout the year so that ultimately the retreat benefits not only the individual Christian but also the world in which they live.

What if we lived in a world of abundance? In the Beatitudes, Jesus offers nine sayings that move us beyond our first instincts and instead embrace the deeper reality of the kingdom of God. They name the illusions and false beliefs that have kept us chained and imprisoned. We've learned to live from a mentality of anxiety and greed, but what if a world of abundance with solace and comfort are actually near? We've learned to live by striving, competition, and comparison, but what if we all have equal dignity and worth? Mark Scandrette shows how the Beatitudes invite us into nine new postures for life. Instead of living in fear, we can choose radical love. It's often assumed that the good life is only for the most wealthy, attractive, and powerful. Poor, sad, and suffering people are left out. But the ninefold path of the Beatitudes is for everyone. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you find yourself, this way is available to you.

DUI is a must-read for all of those who desire to be equipped to have victory in the war of deception that the Devil has waged against the saints. One of the grave mistakes that the modern church has made is that of minimizing the Enemy. He is a formidable opponent that we within ourselves have no chance of defeating. The reason why many saints are being defeated by the Enemy is because the body of Christ is having such a difficult time recognizing the Devil. The Bible says that he would deceive not just the world, but even the very elect, if it were at all possible.

DUI exposes how the Enemy uses worship to get believers intoxicated with the world. This book systematically breaks down the difference between worship in the Spirit, which cleanses us, and Babylonian worship, which entertains us. It dissects the biblical foundations of worship and how the Enemy is attempting to change those foundations. You may have wondered how you could be a part of worship experiences that deeply affected you emotionally although many of the other participants left these experiences yet dominated by their flesh, spiritually blind, and carnally minded. This book has the answers It is a must-read for all of those desiring to worship God in Spirit and truth and be found faithful when he returns

In an aggregate account, traditional churches collect more than $420 billion in tithes and donations annually. With such an extensive source of incoming wealth, it is unimaginable that the sincere needs of the donating parishioners are left unattended. The growing numbers of mega-churches are consistently ran and operated as businesses by affluent ministers who are treated more like celebrities rather than servants of Christ. They consider their church as their business and they attend to them as Corporate CEO's, leading unsuspecting would-be followers of Christ down an eternal road to spiritual destruction. This book, while destined to be controversial, promises to expose the very things celebrity-like ministers are hiding from thier unsuspecting congregation of followers. It exposes the materialism and greed that has crept its way into the church's pulpit, causing corruption so devastating that God himself has vowed not to dwell therein. It is packed full of truths and exposes an organized institution of unsound principles an immoral values that are being taught in order to keep you addicted to their incognito crack houses that are passing themselves off as churches in the name of Christ. This book should free you from the bondage of modern day church slavery and the witchcraft that many are following and practicing while being totally oblivious to what they are doing. Could it possibly be you? Are you still paying tithes and sewing seeds to get blessings from God? If your answer is yes, you need this truth You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free - but only if you are able to fully digest the truth that lies within the pages of this book.
