DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Unless we accept but One Power and live it, we can never demonstrate the Principle of our being or enjoy the fruits of the Spirit."The author's teaching is an absolute teaching based on a demonstrative principle of God as All-in-all and man's inseparability from God. Hence, There is nothing but God! Throughout the book, it is revealed that "man is God's witness to His creation. Man is the consciousness by means of which God sees His own manifestations."Through the understanding of the Christ-Consciousness, spiritual understanding, the author was enabled to see through the deception of a so-called material world and arrive at the oneness of God-pure Substance, Mind, Good.She lovingly offers "rest and drink in the name of Christ ... an oasis in the desert of mortal mind, to unburden you of the cross of deception and to crown you with the glory of your own immortal Self."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKContrary to popular opinion, God is not a Supreme Being, but the exact opposite - Absolute Nothingness. In fact, the entire reason that people suffer is because they are attached to 'being', and fail to understand that Non-being is the very basis of existence itself. In the immortal words of the Tao Te Ching, "All things are born of being; being is born of Nothingness." Nothingness is not barren oblivion, nor the opposite of life and 'being'; rather, it is the creative, fertile, and boundless principle that serves as the source and ground of beingness itself. Empty and vast, Nothingness is pregnant with limitless potential and fecundity. In theistic terms, Nothingness is God. Rooted in the teachings of the world's greatest sages, such as Lao Tzu, the Buddha, Adi Shankaracarya, Meister Eckhart, and Nisargadatta Maharaj, "God is Nothingness" explores how Non-being is indeed the root of all existence. Even more valuably, the book reveals how to actually awaken to Nothingness-how to realize God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The idea of putting Magisterial teaching in a beautiful display case while separating it from pastoral practice, which then could evolve along with circumstances, fashions, and passions, is a sort of heresy, a dangerous schizophrenic pathology. I therefore solemnly state that the Church in Africa is staunchly opposed to any rebellion against the teaching of Jesus and of the Magisterium. . . . The Church of Africa is committed in the name of the Lord Jesus to keeping unchanged the teaching of God and of the Church." — Robert Cardinal Sarah In this fascinating autobiographical interview, one of the most prominent and outspoken Catholic Cardinals gives witness to his Christian faith and comments on many current controversial issues. The mission of the Church, the joy of the gospel, the “heresy of activism”, and the definition of marriage are among the topics he discusses with wisdom and eloquence. Robert Cardinal Sarah grew up in Guinea, West Africa. Inspired by the missionary priests who made great sacrifices to bring the Faith to their remote village, his parents became Catholics. Robert discerned a call to the priesthood and entered the seminary at a young age, but due to the oppression of the Church by the government of Guinea, he continued his education outside of his homeland. He studied in France and nearby Senegal. Later he obtained a licentiate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, followed by a licentiate in Sacred Scripture at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum of Jerusalem. At the age of thirty-four he became the youngest Bishop in the Catholic Church when John Paul II appointed him the Archbishop of Conakry, Guinea, in 1979. His predecessor had been imprisoned by the Communist government for several years, and when Archbishop Sarah was targeted for assassination John Paul II called him to Rome to be Secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. In 2010 Pope Benedict XVI named him Cardinal and appointed him Prefect of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum. Pope Francis made him Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in 2014.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow can we fully trust God to do the impossible in spite of our battles against fear, anger, envy and shame? He often seems too removed to be involved in our daily troubling situations. Phillips admits, \"I am preaching to myself-repeatedly-in this book." Perceiving even a small glimmer of the radiant truth of God's loving power means hope. Stories of women who were both wounded and unfailingly loved by God are potent vehicles for nurturing the hope that does not disappoint us, 'because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit' (Romans 5:5). And what an array of stories! The journeys of these remarkable women were often long and unexpected, forcing them well outside their comfort zones and into unpleasant circumstances. Many wrestled with the task of child-rearing and seemed to have limited success. All chose to surrender their own understanding and place their trust in the power of an often-mysterious God. Here's what they discovered: With God, Nothing Is Impossible. And the same is true for us today! In this inspiring book, Elaine Phillips shares life-transforming truths that will deepen your faith in the same God these women of the Bible knew and trusted.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGary Gray marries his first girlfriend, a fellow student from Central Florida Christian College who loves Disney World as much as he does. They are 19 years old, God-fearing, and eager to start a family, but a week before their wedding Gary goes into a rest-stop bathroom and lets something happen. God Says No is his testimony -- the story of a young black Christian struggling with desire and belief, with his love for his wife and his appetite for other men, told in a singular, emotional voice. Driven by desperation and religious visions, the path that Gary Gray takes -- from revival meetings to "out" life in Atlanta to a pray-away-the-gay ministry in Memphis, Tennessee -- gives a riveting picture of how a life like his can be lived, and how it can't.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy is it that so many of us settle for a less-than-satisfying Christian life? We suffer the symptoms-spiritual dryness, dissatisfaction, and unanswered prayers-of a yet-unidentified problem that creates an obstacle between God and us. We seem unable to connect the dots between our symptoms and the problem causing them: God is no longer first in our hearts. Pastor Dennis Newkirk shares how God revealed to their church their idolatry. The lessons were difficult, but the result was an extraordinary spiritual revival and much deeper fellowship with God. No gods but God is about learning to confront our modern-day idolatry and how God uses a four-step pattern to call our hearts back to him. Examining our own lives before God and admitting that our hearts have strayed isn't easy, and it is most certainly humbling. But that's what God wants-a humbled, repentant person standing before him willing to be used in service for him. Let No gods but God show you the way.
