Telling the stories of some of the strongest women in all of Scripture, Thy Queendom Come offers Christian women a new path forward - a revolutionary new spirituality, and a revolutionary word to describe it: queendom. We can leave the narrow kingdom behind and embrace a more vibrant and just spiritual life.
Thy Queendom Come is a deep investigation into the infamous Mystery Babylon the Great, the woman who sat upon a scarlet-colored beast, holding a golden cup full of abominations, in the Biblical Apocalyptic book of Revelation (17). This woman represents a “system.” The world order is collapsing and rapidly becoming darker by the moment. Followers of Christ are fighting a deceptive enemy who operates deeply in secret, through a system of hidden language, symbology, lies, and twisting of the Holy Scriptures. Thy Queendom Come exposes the inner teachings of Mystery Babylon, Mystery religions Mystery schools Secret Societies Occult Practices New Age Movements Demonology and ultimate agenda. What was uncovered during our investigation, revealed an ancient plan that was so shocking, so subtle, so coercive, and so diabolical, that it calls for immediate attention. Leaders and laypersons alike are in a complete hypnotic state, as to the ideology of Mystery Babylon that has crept into the minds, hearts, and thoughts of born-again believers, and even into worship practices. Thy Queendom Come, through historical records and first-hand accounts from the highest sources, will expose to the reader how this subtle enemy through “his seed” has been able to operate without detection. These truths will bring about the Godly confidence to defend the faith in Christ. The manipulative practices of this woman riding the beast are unknowingly destroying the moral fabric of current and future generations. The need is urgent to shine the light on this ages-long agenda. The Father wishes that none be lost, to this subversive, Anti-Christ, beast system of the devil; Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth (Revelation 17:5). Thy Queendom Come is a clarion call to all true believers in the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
We are all born inside a fence. Not the same fence, but we all have our own variation of restrictions-passed-down-to-us. The narrative passed down to Christian women by patriarchal religion tells us not only that we are bad, but that we need someone outside ourselves to save us. We need a revolutionary new spirituality, and a revolutionary term to describe it: the queendom of God. Telling the stories of some of the strongest women in all of Scripture--like Delilah, Deborah, and Jael--as well as some of the most brutalized--like the daughter of Jephthah--Thy Queendom Come offers a new path forward. In the queendom of God, we are no longer waiting on a rescuer. We realize we are ready to conceive and give birth to new life--a creative act between God and us, no masculine authority necessary. We can, as women, say yes to the divine annunciation, quite apart from any sinner's prayer, the blessing of priests, or an ordination by men. We can leave the narrow kingdom behind and embrace a more vibrant, just, and inspiring spiritual life in God's queendom.

You already have all you need to step into the fullness of your power. Each of us has traumas, triggers, and painful experiences that have shaped our existence in this world.

Women are essential to the biblical story--they bear life, lead communities, and testify to God's power and presence. Some of their names we know, others we've only heard, and others, tragically, go unnamed. Following the success of her beloved book Fierce, pastor and provocateur Alice Connor introduces us to a whole new group of women from the Bible, including Rachel, Leah, Miriam, Esther, and Lydia. Connor invites us to see them not as players in a man's story--as victims or tempters--nor as solely morality archetypes who teach women to be better wives and mothers--but as brave foremothers of the faith. Skillfully drawn by the author, these women's stories are messy, challenging, and beautiful. When we read their stories, we can see not only their particular, formidable lives but also our own.
Becoming Psychic provides a lively dialogue between a clinical psychologist who believes that he has had a number of psychic (or "paranormal") experiences and a research psychologist and parapsychologist who attempts to put these reports in a scientific framework. The anecdotes make for fascinating reading and the scientific responses are relayed in a reader-friendly manner. Readers who have had similar experiences can begin to understand their own glimpses of future events, remarkable recoveries from major or minor illnesses, or knowledge of what is happening to a loved one hundreds of miles away. Paul Von Ward, author of Our Solarian Legacy, writes in the Introduction: "Becoming Psychic is a book for everyone who seeks meaning among the non-ordinary experiences of life. Telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokenesis, precognition, mind/body healing, prayer, and synchronicity are all illustrated in personal terms by Dr. Kierulff and placed in scientific context by Stanley Krippner—a successful merging of the perspectives of the experiencer and the scientist."
"When people are committed to gender equality, what gets in their way of achieving it? Why do well-intentioned people reinforce sexist outcomes? Why does dissonance persist between organizational actors' good intentions of equality and sexist outcomes? This book provides answers to these questions by applying the critical lens of gendered organizations to moderate-liberal congregations that separated from their mainline denomination in support of women's equal leadership yet remain predominately male in positions of authority. This critical methodological study investigates congregations affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) with some dually aligned with The Alliance of Baptists. Although the CBF identifies the equal leadership of women as a core component of its collective identity and women are enrolling in Baptist seminaries at almost equal rates as men, only five percent of CBF congregations employ women as solo senior pastors. This book provides an organizational analysis investigating gendered congregational processes on the individual, interactional, and organizational levels including themes such as gendered hiring criteria, a perceived incongruence of women's bodies and leadership, unconscious biases of organizational actors, and how women pastors' experiences of discrimination influence their more risky approaches to leadership"--
