DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Sacred Encounters with Jesus" is a discerning account of how Jesus heals and transforms people today just as He ministered to His disciples. Readers will enter into the miraculous experiences of a terminally ill girl who was healed by Jesus' touch and of a woman who touched Jesus as He knelt beside her and prayed. These experiences raise the possibility that only some people will readily accept: that Jesus can be experienced as directly and as personally today as when He walked the earth 2,000 years ago.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Greene gives the reader a vivid sense of the Anlo encounter with western thought and Christian beliefs... and the resulting erasures, transferences, adaptations, and alterations in their perceptions of place, space, and the body." -- Emmanuel Akyeampong Sandra E. Greene reconstructs a vivid and convincing portrait of the human and physical environment of the 19th-century Anlo-Ewe people of Ghana and brings history and memory into contemporary context. Drawing on her extensive fieldwork, early European accounts, and missionary archives and publications, Greene shows how ideas from outside forced sacred and spiritual meanings associated with particular bodies of water, burial sites, sacred towns, and the human body itself to change in favor of more scientific and regulatory views. Anlo responses to these colonial ideas involved considerable resistance, and, over time, the Anlo began to attribute selective, varied, and often contradictory meanings to the body and the spaces they inhabited. Despite these multiple meanings, Greene shows that the Anlo were successful in forging a consensus on how to manage their identity, environment, and community.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSacred Encounters is the culmination of 13 years of research bringing together the psychology of close encounters, spiritual experience, and ultimately enlightenment. Already the current surge of "subtle realm" encounters has unveiled the hidden dimension that surrounds us the realm of angels and aliens. Yet few Westerners realize that the same "enlightened"gurus enshrined in ancient lineages communicate with otherworldly beings. Sacred Encounters reveals starling evidence establishing this connection within Sufi, Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Dr. Janet Elizabeth Colli believes that those among us who sense the subtle realms herald a critical stage in human evolution. Subtle realm experiences are ushering in an era when close encounters, non-local (instantaneous) travel and communication will be unexceptional. Sacred Encounters prepares the modern world for our next evolutionary leap. Sacred Encounters presents psychological research and case studies, such as "Hayley," who demonstrates the transition from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to Interspecies Communicator. Trace her developmental process as she learns to transform her terror into love. Discover the pivotal role so-called aliens are playing in the transformation of human consciousness from those who are living it, firsthand. Praise for Sacred Encounters "A transfixing exploration of the human side of alien encounters. Entering into the storied lives of two life-long ´experiencers´ of alien contact, journeying from Dharamsala to the mists of Seattle, Dr. Colli discovers that the most important lesson for humankind comes not from the beyond but from within the heart; that compassion is the foundation for understanding even the most ´alien´ of experiences." Will Bueche, Communications & Media Director, Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER), Founded by Harvard Professor of Psychiatry, John Mack, M.D. "Sacred Encounters is a remarkable and well-written study of alien encounters. Dr. Janet Colli, a major and well-published researcher, presents a gripping account of her investigations into alien phenomena. This book is a vivid reminder that what we don´t know about the universe far exceeds what we do know. Sacred Encounters is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in alien encounters or spiritual exploration."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of a third-place award for spirituality books from the Catholic Media Association. Do you yearn for the peace, protection, and joy of a Christ-centered home? The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the answer. Bestselling and award-winning author Emily Jaminet takes up each of the twelve promises Christ made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in a series of visions, puts a fresh new spin on the classic Catholic devotion, and invites you and your family to experience the profound spiritual benefits you will receive when you keep the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the center of your home. Appearing to her in a series of visions in 1673, Jesus promised St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that those who “expose and honor his most Sacred Heart” will find peace in the home, consolation in sorrow, and a source of refuge in times of trouble. In Secrets of the Sacred Heart, Emily Jaminet—executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network—weaves personal testimony, teachings, and reflection questions while exploring and applying each of Christ’s promises. Jaminet will guide you through a special enthronement ceremony to dedicate your home and inspire you to a lifelong devotion to the Sacred Heart. Whether you have already consecrated your home or are newly embarking on the journey of discovering the graces of this ancient practice, you will find a personal encounter with Jesus, who promises: peace in your home, safe refuge in life and death, blessings on your undertakings, an infinite source of mercy, and a restored and enlivened faith for those who surrender themselves wholly to Christ.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this companion to The Universal Christ, Richard Rohr and Patrick Boland offer forty reflections and practices exploring what it means to live “in Christ.” In his landmark book The Universal Christ, Richard Rohr articulated a transformative view of what it means to recognize Jesus as “Christ”—as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. Now, in partnership with Patrick Boland, a psychotherapist and member of Rohr’s Center for Action and Contemplation community, he invites readers to engage with the themes of the book through spiritual practice. Each reflection in this book draws on a key passage of The Universal Christ, paired with prayers, journal prompts, and embodied exercises that invite readers into a more personal encounter with the truth that the presence and compassion of the Christ are in every thing. Whether read daily for the season of Lent or explored over the course of a year, Every Thing Is Sacred is a hope-filled journey into the love at the heart of all things.
