The Book of Revelation, is it too hard to understand or just too scary?

I present to you this companion guide, in hopes that we can all gain greater clarity and understanding from His Revelation and its application within our daily lives.'Blessed...

Paul and Union with Christ fills the gap for biblical scholars, theologians, and pastors pondering and debating the meaning of union with Christ.

Have you read a history that is a non-history and a non-history that is history? At first glance, the question is a riddle wrapped in a contradiction. By customary norms of literature, it is mysterious if not nonsensical. That is, until one has read Jorge Luis Borges and Garcia Marquez, the masters of Magic Realism.Writings in the mode of Magic Realism have the quality of magic.

Now with a detailed study guide, this book can be used by Christians everywhere to study the radical message of James and reflect on what it means to be a true Christian.

It is utterly insane even to imagine that the Greco-Roman Church was born with a 'Judas Kiss' at Rome in A.D. 64. Apparently, so it is until an investigative search for the historical evidence finds the basis for the unthinkable contention in the published works of the first century, albeit, it needs the persistence and the keen eye of a Sherlock Holmes.Tacitus told us in his Annales that 'informants' framed the Christians for the Great Fire at Rome...

The four Gospels are Faith Documents of the Christian Church. That is something everybody acknowledges. As such, do they owe any debt at all to the pre-Christian heathens? The answers are not as confident. What sort of a debt is it? How much of it is at the core of the Gospels? The answers to these are up to the speculators to tease out. That is until now.Christ-Hero of the Monomyths establishes the presence of Egyptian, Babylonian and Phoenician...

As a society we are obsessed with food. Our supermarkets are overfilled, recipe books crowd the aisles of bookstores, and there are more cooking shows than can be counted.

What is the meaning bread, wine and water hold for our material and spiritual...
