One day, as you're traveling down your life's road, you'll encounter your Creator. Chances are, you have already encountered Him, possibly many times, but did not realize it. Or maybe you did realize it and chose to turn the other way. But this time, He will get your attention. You will "hear" Him calling you. You will feel the cry of your soul in response. And you will recognize the pull of God-consciousness on your self-consciousness. What do you do? Since everybody is different, your encounter with the Creator will be orchestrated especially for you. But at the same time, everybody's life experiences will follow the same model. Encounter proposes that how you interpret your experiences in life determines to a large degree whether or not you will see God's model of the perfected man in yourself. Once you meet Him, God is easy to fall in love with. The hard part is being "remade" in His likeness. Encounter describes this "make-over," this transformation process, so you will be able to follow it in your own life. The author suggests new ways of considering and understanding past and current events, and explains the forces at work and play within the human psyche. To help you through this trying and sometimes painful process, the Creator has given you a two-edged Sword of Forgiveness and Faith to release you from guilt and fear, Gloves of Compassion and Gratitude to resolve painful memories, and a Plow of Wisdom and Discernment to uproot misconceptions and allow the seed of truth to take hold in your heart and mind. Encounter describes the function of each in detail and provides easy-to-follow instructions for their use. The Creator is the guiding force behind the transformation process. He created Universal Law to guide you and Divine Love to empower you. Your part is to love Him with all your heart and walk in His way. This means gradually relinquishing your Free Will and surrendering to God's Will... not an easy task for the only creature on Earth with the power to say No to God! Indeed, free will is powerful, but, as argued in Encounter, free will is not free: we pay dearly for it. Encounter introduces man's Lower Self and Higher Self, describes the beauty of Universal Law, talk's about man's God qualities, his childlike nature, his innocence, and his reason for being here. The book states that we can all have a one-on-one relationship with our Father God and reveals how you should react when you encounter your Creator. Expect some surprises along the way.

Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. A diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost, as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.

The work that you are holding in your hands now is the result of a human life full of drama, mysticism and experiences that may seem certainly contradictory for those who are far away from God. In these pages you will find a human life intertwined in the most serious errors and dangers resulting from an existence that lacked spiritual awareness and was flooded with the mundane ambitions of a heart that always wanted to do good and was able do so only after great effort. You will also find the fruit of the author's encounter with his Creator; in it, God's mercy and forgiveness rescued a wasted life from the ashes of sin and transformed it into bread of evangelization for the whole world. You will also be able to appreciate the Gospel telling us as how God takes the fool to embarrass the sage. Marino Restrepo never studied theology, neither was he educated in the religious sciences. However, during his life as a missionary, he has made possible for theology academicians and high-level ecclesiastic scholars to hear the simplicity of a Gospel infused in the author's heart by the Holy Spirit. You are kindly invited to navigate through the paths of God's miracle.

Many of us may believe connecting to the earth and universe can bring a form of "peace," hard work: "success," and treating ourselves and others well can bring us "happiness." But how do we receive "joy"? Happiness depends on what's happening outside of us, such as materialistic achievements and how people treat us. Joy is what we have despite what's happening around us -- a special gift received from being in an intimate relationship with our Triune Creator... The best of us miss the mark and, at least, emulate sin in thoughts. How we treat others, including ourselves, knowingly and unknowingly, is also a factor. How then do we enter into the presence of the Holy One -- our Creator? The significant question every human being from all religions and thoughts should now ask is: "How do I get freedom from the consequences of missing the mark (sin)? How does our Creator solves this challenge for us?" Matthew 16:13-17 NKJV When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." The same two questions remain for us also: Who does everyone else say Yeshua Christ is? Who do you say He is? Your answer to the latter is the most important answer of your lifetime.
