When people talk about or experience paranormal activity, ghosts are often a component-and enough of a component to be worth investigating and discussing. The popular theory about ghosts is that they are spirits of humans who have died, but this isn't consistent with teachings from the Bible. So, as Christians, we ask "Who and what are they?" To answer this, God, Ghosts & Christians looks briefly at various current theories, followed by an extensive look at ghosts from a Christian point of view, supported by biblical passages and personal experiences of the author and others. The author, an ordained minister, will take you through all aspects of the existence of ghosts in our world-from the ones that are demons to those that are well meaning and kind. Don't be fooled by media and nonbelievers-there is a quiet, but serious, war going on between Christians and ghosts. This book will affirm your beliefs, show you how to protect yourself and those you love and encourage you to help quiet the "whispers," and win the war.

As children, most of us freely express the joy-the music-within us. Our emotions are close to the surface, and we can bring them forth at the drop of a hat. But as we become adults, the joy seems to get buried deeper and deeper. Real life can take the music from our very being. But does it have to be that way? Is there anything we can do about it? In The Musical Soul Train: Discover the Songs from Your Heart, author Philip "PM" Moey shares his knowledge and experiences of life's spiritual pathways. Moey's fifteen years of research has taught him that though there are many universal principles about life, many are fundamentally the same but approached from different angles. The paths eventually lead to a single life worth living if you choose to do it well. And to live well, you cannot allow the music to die within you. Moey includes his personal musical flavor, but that does not mean it has to be ours; he reminds us that each of us has a song to be sung and showcased. The Musical Soul Train will thrill anyone who longs to tell his or her own story and anyone who is looking for a more meaningful, inspired life.

What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's thatthe million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive.
