Joao de Deus Brasil's book comprises two independent but related
works: Why I Believe in God and Atheism: a Self-Delusion. In Why I
Believe in God, the author reveals the origins of his faith whereas
in Atheism: a Self-Delusion he refutes atheists' arguments
expressed by their current world leader, Richard Dawkins, in his
best-seller God, a Delusion. Regarding the renowned biologist's
ideas, Joao de Deus states: In his book, Richard Dawkins does not
provide any theory capable of scientifically justifying his
negation of God's existence. And besides, he does not put forward
any evidence whatsoever, either scientific or empirical, in support
of that nonexistence. Between the lines of his own words, one can
clearly see his subconscious knowledge about the life of the
spirit, anterior and posterior to material life. By analyzing his
quotations of other wise, monistic men, without even excluding the
magnificent Albert Einstein, one can clearly perceive that they
themselves have this subconscious knowledge, and they reveal it as
they express their thoughts. Materialism is, therefore, a delusion.
The true monist does not exist, for all of us have subconscious
knowledge of our spiritual existence before, during, and after our
material lives. We express ourselves according to this knowledge,
whoever we are: believers or skeptics, intellectuals, scientists,
or illiterate peasants. In the same way, we are also aware of the
existence of God, and that's why faith is revealed in children. For
the same reason, among many others as we have seen, faith is
revealed in all peoples and cultures, with no exception. These
realities, perfectly clear for those who want to see, provide
irrefutable, absolute proof that atheism, like materialism and
monism, is a self-delusion.

Satan tries to corrupt every good thing that God gives us, and he
often succeeds at this through our own ignorance and complacency.
In Ultimate Truth and Lies, author Adelle Yvette Potgieter exposes
the web of lies that Satan has spun to ensnare believers and
unbelievers alike. In turn, she counters those lies and their
consequences with the real truths about God. Part I provides an
overview of topics relating to varied aspects of our daily lives,
such as poverty and suffering; religion and custom; destiny,
purpose, and choice; gender, marriage, and sex; emotion; and
forgiveness. It challenges traditional mainstream thinking and
shows that manmade rules, inspired by Satan, deny the opportunity
for happy, fulfilling lives. Part II focuses on self-development
exercises and explores issues such as anger, rage, sadness, and
negative thoughts that impact our physical, mental, and spiritual
well-being. Potgieter offers skills to change your life for the
better. Part III is a collection of thought-provoking poems that
will inspire the reader and invites reflection of personal life
truths. Ultimate Truth and Lies challenges you to examine your
life. Are you living as a victim of Satan or as a victorious
spiritual warrior of the living God? A happy life is yours for the
taking by accepting the responsibility and undertaking the work
necessary to reach that goal.
In The Christ-Man Chronicles, Cooper-Giles posits a compelling
argument for both clergy and politicians, and their social issues,
which should manifest and morph into models of progressive change
and enlightenment.This book chronicles somewhat the search for bin
Laden and Al Qaeda, the "War on Terror," and the incidental attacks
on Iraq in March 2003. The narrative also alludes to some reasons
why there is much animosity and hatred toward America and some of
its allies, especially so-called Israel, in the Muslim world. It
affirms the double-standards, dubious, and often racist nature of
America's government policies in both domestic and foreign affair:
particularly, its arrogant imperialistic attitude in dealing with
Third World countries.Nevertheless, Cooper-Giles proclaims that
everyone has the conscious potent ability to become Christ-Men in
their personal journey here on Earth with the discovery of one's
"divine" mission and purpose, and the eventual understanding of
being the person that one is meant to be: this knowledge is gained
by distinguishing the difference between the illusionists and the
creative value-producers around us Everyone should understand that
they are made in the image of God, our Creator, as a distinct
individual, who has a divine, a unique, and a separate soul-force
different than anyone else on this planet...

Upon moving to Minnesota and living next to an Amish community, I
was intrigued to learn about Amish life. That moment came, when I
was working in my garden one Sunday. A brother and sister of the
nearby Amish family decided to come over and talk to me while they
went for a walk. I was flattered to get to know some of the family.
My husband came out to greet them as well. I knew in my heart that
I was going to be a part of this moving, beautiful story of which
this was only the beginning. I, being a patient soul, was prepared
to get to know, learn, offer help, and advise, if they asked of me,
or when I thought they needed to know something. I only wanted to
help them, especially a young Amish woman, succeed in their way of
life. All human emotions from sad, happy, indifferent, and outright
hilarious, at times, are evident. There is an element of suspense
in the story. Shortly after, it was time to end and put down my
pen.
