God Can the existence of God be scientifically explained, and, if so, how important is God anyway?

Religion What's it really all about and why do we need it?

Life Do we have a purpose, and, if so, does it include finding the blueprint to finally unify the seven billion of us living on our planet? Does this blueprint really exist?

Death Is death finality or is there a hereafter? Do we really go somewhere, and, if so, where?

Our soul Just what is our soul, our spirit, and what does it have to do with the reality of it all?

Proof Where is it? If all of the above questions can be answered, can those answers be proven?

"The Reality of It All" is extremely thoughtprovoking and somewhat controversial in that it tries to answer difficult questions that arise within most people at some time in their lives. The answers, as astounding as they may be, hopefully will be inspiration enough to light the pathway for each of us to begin our own independent investigation of truth. The reality of it all is that there are only two possibilities: the ideas presented are either true or false. Or put another way, they are good and right for the advancement of individuals, societies, and civilizations or they're not

Truth, once discovered, is reality, whether it is accepted or not. Has the time come for all of us to find out the reality of it all?

Unfortunately, very few people these days talk about real values in life. What we stand for in life, and are we living up to these values are worth pondering. Are our aspirations in tune with the real purpose of life? It is the values that remind us often what to aspire in life. Most people value life and its achievements from the perspective of wealth and richness, but do not recognize trust, honesty, and contentment as forward looking attributes that help in overall satisfaction. Giving importance to external growth leaving behind inner development often leads to unbalance in life devoid of overall satisfaction. Much of the troubles in this world are that true values of life have narrowed down, skewed, ignored and misunderstood. This book deliberates different aspects of life in terms of personal, moral, spiritual, family and social values and how these can enrich life and fill its purpose. A wide range of topics include How to live an easier life; Thoughts on simplifying life; Virtues of Integrity; Mistakes we generally make; Control on impulsive mind; Being Successful in life; Benefits from silence; Communication with inner self; Creating love for others; How to think positive; How moral values get reinforced; Belief in natural justice; What is spirituality; Understanding self; How to find God; What does death mean to us; Good family values; Being part of whole universe; Universal brotherhood; Towards developing good values. Attempt has been made to describe large issues that are outcome of misdirected value system, and how best a person can move ahead in life by focusing on core values. The idea of writing this book is to facilitate readers to pause and think about what they aspire, and are these aspirations in tandem with broad purpose in life.

"Ron and June Travis have been working in the trenches of Baptist life for the past forty-five years: "With their own family.Team teaching and conducting seminars for adolescents, newlyweds, budgeting, and finance. Serving as a Deacon. Working on committees for Personnel, Finance, or Long-Range Planning. Serving as a leader and then Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 266 in Gardendale, Alabama.

Ron is now writing about their experiences, and his career, which have been based on honor, honesty, and integrity in following the constitution, bylaws, rules, and stated intentions of each organization they have been a part of.

"This Book is written to share Ron's beliefs about the Cooperative Program and each individual's responsibilities as we come together to rule autonomous local Baptist churches and cooperate with other like-minded congregations to accomplish the Great Commission and the mandate found in Acts 1."

Most of the churches authors Kesha Hinton and Jennifer Price have attended have more female than male members, a fact that many single sisters find thoroughly irritating. They believe that because these ladies spend so much time together in the service of the Lord, they should be more loving and accepting of one another. Instead of unity and harmony, however, there is frequently strife, fighting, arguing, complaining, jealousy, envy, and impatience.

In Influential Spirits, Kesha and Jennifer take a comical yet serious look at the various spiritual personalities you may find among the women in any Christian church. Through hilarious and at times harrowing descriptions of each spirit, they discuss the spiritual attributes that uplift and those that tear down. They describe how these attributes are developed and maintained by women in the church, and they give suggestions of how to be transformed from a destructive spirit into a constructive spirit. Also included are scriptural references and prayers that you can use when faced with either challenges or joy. The Scriptures provide the critical information needed to rise above the negative influences in our lives.

Take a fun and insightful spiritual journey with Kesha and Jennifer into Influential Spirits.

The power and purpose of all you are meant to be are rising within you as you walk out your unhindered, mountain-moving, white-pant-wearing faith. The movement begins in you today

Everything in our solar system casts a shadow. The Earth, the moon, and the planets cast a shadow. The only thing that does not cast a shadow is the sun. The sun shines its light on one half of the planets, while the other half is in the shade of its own shadow. All living and non-living things expose only half of themselves to the light of the sun. Their other half remains in its shadow. Plants and animals are born with a shadow, live with a shadow, and must die with a shadow.

Man is born with a shadow; however, he does not have to live and die with a shadow like the rest of the living creatures. He can choose to stay confined within the shadows of earthly things or go beyond the shadows to become something like the sun. But this quest takes a little something extra than most ordinary men seem to look for or even believe is possible to achieve. Early on in childhood, Fr. Peterson wanted to fly. Little did he know that his innocent desire to fly was an extraordinary, shadowless thing called prayer. A real and very extraordinary ear heard his plea. So God's heart, the only one in nature who produces no shadow, was moved to help show him how to go beyond the shadows of worldly things, frightful things, and even deadly things.

In "Lost in the Crowd, Memoir of the First Baby Boomer" Ms. Haberland tells the story of being born into a large family in Norristown, Pennsylvania. She walks the reader through the joy of her childhood in the innocent 1950's, the disappointment of relationships during the early 1960's and her total rebellion in the late 1960's and 1970's. Her lonely descent into a life of alcohol, drugs, and insanity is a journey she takes by herself and shares in easy language.

When salt loses its savor it needs to be thrown out and replaced-this is an emphatic lesson from The Second Vatican Council, which addresses "joy and hope" in a faithless and despairing culture. The shining light of Vatican II is a beacon trained on the natural reality of transformational consciousness that grows out of and thrives in beauty and truth. The beauty of the moment, the truth of the moment is all that is and all that ye need to know, for beauty is truth, truth beauty. A Tree's leaf is a lexicon (DIVINICON) of symbiotic history. Leaves are pages of durable consciousness that green freshly every Spring. Open to the beauty, the wisdom of a leaf, and the destiny of the blossom-HAPPINESS IS A LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN.
