If you are in the process of re-examining old childhood beliefs and have realized there has to be a more excellent way, this book is for you. With this in mind, I invite you to Take Another Look at some of the most important tenants of fundamental Judeo-Christian dogma. We will explore these basic ideas from the cultural context in which they were experienced and written, as well as the influences of the translators. This will take us from a fear-based message to the Gospel, or good news, with a love-based premise. In this day, there are several versions of the Bible. I suggest choosing the version which best suits your understanding of language. II Timothy 2:15 says: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The study presented in this book is based on the Thompson Chain-Reference Bible, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the guidance of the inner teacher - the Holy Spirit, and spiritual common sense. The result has challenged much of the second-handed information that has been passed down through Christian patriarchy. This scripture also mentions, rightly dividing the word of truth. To do this, we need to discern which scriptures are inspired by God and which scriptures contain man's perceptions and hidden political and cultural agenda's. I ask that you listen to your own inner Christ intelligence which is able to lead you into all truth, rather than listening to the feeble attempts of men's voices on the paths that seem right, who are only plunging us into the depths of unanswered questions, ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Mary Rose Traylor has invested most of her life questioning, researching, and studying the relation between God and man; life, living, and death. Her questions prompted research, conversations with the I AM God, meditations, and study. She came to understand that all the answers are in “consciousness.” Man is a composition of consciousness—conscious, super conscious, subconscious. The depth of her understanding has helped her development as a seeker of divine truth at the highest level, and she shares that truth in her work as a spiritual leader. In Take Another Look, she presents information that may challenge what you believe in and how you apply that belief. How can you be sure about anything pertaining to eternal life, pertaining to salvation, about your own conversion? Traylor encourages you to re-examine your beliefs and how they work in your everyday walk of faith. A study of religious ideologies and doctrine, Take Another Look helps you to realize you are special and your life has a purpose. You are necessary and important. You have been anointed and appointed. You are being readied for victory.
When Jane Ryan discovers she's pregnant with twin girls, she faces a heart wrenching decision. On her own and unable to afford to care for both babies, she sees no choice but to keep one and give up the other for adoption. But fourteen years later, Jane's decision comes full circle. "Family is everything." It's one of the first things Isabel, the twin Jane gave up, says when they unexpectedly meet. Without warning, she and her adoptive mother have moved to the town where Jane and her daughter, Harper, live. But are they really family? In the throes of a willful adolescence, Harper is as sullen as Isabel is eager to please. Still, the sisters appear to bond quickly--until unsettling things begin to happen. Disturbing pranks, questionable accidents, strange ailments. Are the girls allies, or enemies? Is Harper acting out, or is Isabel not all she seems? Soon, Jane is convinced there is something darker at work than sibling rivalry. But who is to blame, and is this only the beginning? In a novel that is both suspenseful and deeply emotional, Rosalind Noonan explores the complex challenges of motherhood, and of truly knowing what lies in another's heart--even those we love best.
The author grew up in Marion, Illinois, entering the first grade in 1930, the start of the Great Depression. This book, which recalls memorable episodes in Hastings' youth, is a sequel to his popular Nickel's Worth of Skim Milk, to be reissued in paperback simultaneously with this book.
The Book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing to those who "read and hear the words of this prophecy", yet our nineteenth century interpretation has caused it to be scarcely mentioned in pulpits today. When it is mentioned, it is only referred to as a list of horrors that must be avoided at all cost by sneaking out the back door of the "secret any moment rapture". I don't believe that this is the blessing that God had in mind. This book is an unfolding of the keys to understanding and meaning of the signs and symbols that make up the Revelation that God has led me into through the last four decades. Who would have thought that the answer to the signs and symbols in the book of Revelation are found in the Bible itself.Because of the progressive nature of truth, I believe that God is finally, in this day, unlocking the truth that has the power to change our vision and life forever. This book is by no means the final word on Revelation, but I pray that it will at least point us in the right direction, and be the catalyst for much more illumination of the plan and purpose of God for his people. I believe that any true seeker of the truth will hear the truth bell ring loud and clear as they read and hear the words of this book.
