Christians do not trust freedom. As author Steve Brown explains in
this brave new book, they prefer the security of rules and
self-imposed boundaries, which they tend to inflict on other
Christians. Brown asserts that real freedom means the freedom to be
wrong as well as right. Christianity often calls us to live beyond
the boundaries, bolstered by the assurance that we cannot fall
beyond God's love. Freedom is dangerous, but the alternative is
worse -- boxing ourselves up where we cannot celebrate our unique
gifts and express our joy in Christ. Each of the book's eleven
chapters explores a common pharisaic, freedom-stifling tendency,
then opens the door to the fresh air of a remedial liberty. A
reader's delight, "A Scandalous Freedom" sometimes shocks with
challenges to prevailing wisdom, but it follows up with compelling
validations of our need to celebrate real, unstinted freedom in
Christ.

"I've fallen in love with Jamie's words and how she so effortlessly
can make us feel united with them. She has a true gift of helping
us realize that all of our 'human' moments are what make us so
special. She is a real light in this world." -Lucy Hale,
Award-Winning Actress from Pretty Little Liars, The Hating Game,
and more Blending memoir, sharp social insights, and unique
practical tools, author Jamie Varon is your guide to radical
contentment-a satisfied life outside the bounds of societal
expectations. Too many of us are waiting for our lives to begin,
putting our happiness on layaway for some future version where it
all lines up, when we've accomplished it all, when we have the
perfect career, bodies, partners, and when our lives finally feel
"good enough." But what is good enough? Who gets to decide? And
when do we ever reach it? Jamie takes a sharp, incisive look at the
industries that are constantly telling us to do more, be more, and
keep striving, pushing, and hustling-and shows you how to radically
opt out of societal conditioning. We've learned to be terrified of
contentment, thinking it will lead us to complacency. Yet, being
content in a world that profits off our dissatisfaction is not
complacency. It's revolutionary. Radically Content makes the case
for a new framework of living. Exploring themes like guilt, I'll be
happy when..., anxiety, settling, control, healing, shame,
self-trust, and being our own worst enemies-not only will you
unlearn the dogma of that discontent, but learn practical tools to
create a more satisfied life for yourself, including: Cultivating
real self-trust Defining your own version of "success" Living with
intention Rewriting your personal narrative Creating consistent and
healing rituals Packed with revelatory insights, Radically Content
is an exhale. A respite from the chaos of our current world. A calm
place to land when you've had enough with trying to be enough.
Demonic possession. Exorcism. Haunted Houses. Satanic Rituals. For
most people this is the stuff of nightmares, horror movies,
folklore, and superstition. For New York City police Sergeant Ralph
Sarchie, it's as real--and dangerous--as midnight patrol . . . A
sixteen-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th
Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But it is his other job that he
calls "the Work": investigating cases of demonic possession and
assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient--and most
dangerous--foes. Now he discloses for the first time his
investigations into incredible true crimes and inhuman evil that
were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and
his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcism, and an eyewitness
to the reality of demonic possession, Ralph Sarchie has documented
a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives a new shape to
the shadows in the dark.
In "Deliver Us from Evil," he takes readers into the very hierarchy
of a hell on earth to expose the grisly rituals of a Palo Mayombe
priest; a young girl whose innocence is violated by an incubus; a
home invaded by the malevolent spirit of a supposedly murdered
nineteenth-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were
literally, the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's
revelations are a powerful and disturbing documented link between
the true-crime realities of life and the blood-chilling ice-grip of
a supernatural terror.
Are you a typical Capricorn? Are you disciplined and ambitious, a
natural-born analyst? What if we told you that your star sign is
only the beginning? Astrology has been around for thousands of
years - and there's so much more to it than your daily horoscope.
Did you know that your rising sign can give you an insight into the
way other people see you? Or that your Moon sign reveals the
secrets of your innermost emotions? Astrology can't predict your
future, but it can highlight your potential. This book shines a
light on your strengths, your weaknesses, what you can achieve and
the opportunities not to be missed. Use it to gain a better
understanding of who you are and who you might become.
Bringing together the wisdom of East and West, the Indian Jesuit
Anthony de Mello used stories and parables to awaken his listeners
to an awareness of God's presence in their midst. Since his death
in 1987, countless readers have been challenged to encounter the
God who lies behind words, concepts, and religious formulas.
This very important work offers penetrating dialogues between the
great spiritual leader and the renowned physicist that shed light
on the fundamental nature of existence. Krishnamurti and David Bohm
probe such questions as 'why has humanity made thought so important
in every aspect of life? How does one cleanse the mind of the
'accumulation of time' and break the 'pattern of ego -centered
activity'?The Ending of Time concludes by referring to the wrong
turn humanity has taken, but does not see this as something from
which there is no escape. There is an insistence that mankind can
change fundamentally; but this requires going from one's narrow and
particular interests toward the general, and ultimately moving
still deeper into that purity of compassion, love and intelligence
that originates beyond thought, time, or even emptiness.

In this companion volume to her bestselling book "Acts of Faith, "
bestselling author and star of "Iyanla: Fix My Life" discusses the
"valleys" that cause stress and imbalance for women and explains
how women can cleanse their minds and promote a healthy foundation
for living in the modern world.""
"A Note from Iyanla Vanzant"
""Beloved friend,
When this little book was first published many years ago, it became
a beacon of light for many people who found themselves time and
time again in one valley or another. Valleys are nothing new for
any of us. Some of you may be in a valley right now, or, since you
never know what's around the corner, you may be on the brink of
tottering into yet another valley. Or maybe you've just survived a
valley that you swear you'll never revisit--but guess what? That's
precisely the valley you'll probably see again. And again.
Being in a valley can be a lonely and bewildering experience. This
book was written to help you feel less lonely by reminding you that
you really aren't ever alone since God is always by your side, but
more important, "you" are always by your own side. No matter how
dire the situation may seem, no matter how dark and bleak the
valley may be, you have all you need within you to survive the
valley--any valley. Even though you may not know how you got into
the valley in the first place, you do know, deep inside yourself,
how to get through and out and free. You just need a little faith
in yourself and a little guidance to find that faith within
yourself.
When you are at your wit's end, take this little book and let it
guide you toward the ever-present but often elusive light at the
end of the tunnel. "Faith in the Valley" is designed to help you
find the light when you need it most--when you're in that damn
tunnel. When you're most confused and in the dark and clueless as
to how you got there (again ) and when you're trying to figure out
not just how to get out, but stay out. For good.
"Faith in the Valley" has helped so many through so much that we
felt it only fitting to issue this lovely gift edition to
acknowledge the special place it holds in many hearts. Please share
it with a friend who has served as your beacon in the past, or
offer it to yourself as a reminder of the strength and wisdom you
possess and can offer to others.

Have probes of extraterrestrial origin conducted surveillance
missions in Earth's atmosphere? James McDonald, co-founder of the
Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona, one
of the twentieth century's leading atmospheric physicists,
presented strong evidence for this hypothesis at the annual meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in
December 1969. Yet, remarkably, McDonald's important conjecture has
all but disappeared from the purview of scientists today. That's
likely to soon change, former Science Museum (London) curator Tom
Willamson argues in this book. The reason is simple: a large chunk
of science supporting McDonald's idea, much of it carried out in
the former Soviet Union and later Russia and Ukraine during the
1980s and 1990s, had gone missing. Now, thanks to the wonders of
Google Translate, Williamson has been able to put together in this
book a provisional, alien-free (and UFOlogy-free) account of that
missing science.
Wicca is growing in popularity, and Cassandra Eason--much admired
for her writing on spiritual subjects- takes a look at its origins,
its uses in everyday life, and its gods and goddesses. She explains
how magick functions; how to create an altar and what tools you'll
need; how to make your own spells, rituals, and chants; how to find
a coven, and so much more!
With renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar as your guide, it's easy

best herbs to support children's health and provides simple
