For more than twenty years, Maria Paula Acuna has claimed to see the Virgin Mary, once a month, at a place called Our Lady of the Rock in the Mojave Desert of California. Hundreds of men, women, and children follow her into the desert to watch her see what they cannot. While she sees and speaks with the Virgin, onlookers search the skies for signs from heaven, snapping photographs of the sun and sky. Not all of them are convinced that Maria Paula can see the Virgin, yet at each vision event they watch for subtle clues to Mary's presence, such as the unexpected scent of roses or a cloud in the shape of an angel. The visionary depends on her audience to witness and authenticate her visions, while observers rely on Maria Paula and the Virgin to create a sacred space and moment where they, too, can experience firsthand one of the oldest and most fundamental promises of Christianity: direct contact with the divine. Together, visionary and witnesses negotiate and enact their monthly liturgy of revelations. Our Lady of the Rock, which features text by Lisa M. Bitel and more than sixty photographs by Matt Gainer, shows readers what happens in the Mojave Desert each month and tells us how two thousand years of Christian revelatory tradition prepared Maria Paula and her followers to meet in the desert. Based on six years of observation and interviews, chapters analyze the rituals, iconographies, and physical environment of Our Lady of the Rock. Bitel and Gainer also provide vivid portraits of the pilgrims-who they are, where they come from, and how they practice the traditional Christian discernment of spirits and visions. Our Lady of the Rock follows three pilgrims as they return home with relics and proofs of visions where, out of Maria Paula's sight, they too have learned to see the Virgin. The book also documents the public response from the Catholic Church and popular news media to Maria Paula and other contemporary visionaries. Throughout, Our Lady of the Rock locates Maria Paula and her followers in the context of recent demographic and cultural shifts in the American Southwest, the astonishing increase in reported apparitions and miracles from around the world, the latest developments in communications and visual technologies, and the never-ending debate among academics, faith leaders, scientists, and citizen observers about sight, perception, reason, and belief.

The Apostle John photo album is photo essay. It consists 19 Chapters and more than 144 photo and art works. You will find classical and gothic art of John the Baptist, Apostle John and figures of Jesus and Apostles. A primary theme is to compare or contrast John the Baptist and Evangelist John to be one and the same angelic entity. John the Baptist was rejected of the literature to be an orthodox religious figure. You find commentary to refuse a date to the Lord, and threats of death at persons; so to claim of them to be then perished. Herod was demanded to have been in an immoral marriage. Comments of rebellion led by him received less Bible verse. The cover of the text is Apostle John to stand over a fuming Chalice of wine. The book has series of art and photo work asembled in an angelic language. John survived boiling in oil by Rome in 96 AD and was banished to the Island of Patmos for a practice of witchcraft; where he authored the Book of Revelations. Each Chapter is led by one page introductions; including to find Biblical quotes about an entirely peaceful future.

You will see advanced digital art of Saint Peter to hold out the keys to heaven. The Gospel of John is called non-canonical, and differs to the accepted or canonical Gospel of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The verse of John are translated to be of lessons to Jesus; including to have Jesus to ask lady of a drink of water from an ancient well to belong to their ancestor Jacob. Read the only extended story of resurrection of Lazarus, and the attempt to slay him or Jesus at finding such story. Pharisee gawk at demanding silence or to end up creating their entire problem. Find four Chapters to follow Last Supper, and to have Lessons from John about the spirit. Adultery is unbelievably derived at breaking into the language at a festival to be living in cheap or broken down dwellings. Jesus was instructing at the paradox; such as to not actually discover literal event. The interpretation of discovering only parable is referenced to provide trembling. John will differ to Luke in his advanced image instructions; while to find use to provide awareness at the poverty of humanity to be so found. Revelations is then a brilliance at understanding a series of symbol and metaphor; so to translate a color of verse without actual person able to speak. You find more cursing and to not derive an actual intelligence. John offers fuming wine; yet to obviously get the person to person selection about their basic resource to be found.
