After her brother died unexpectedly and her mother moved into a dementia-care facility, spiritual travel writer and Episcopal deacon Lori Erickson felt called to a new quest: to face death head-on, with the eye of a tourist and the heart of a pastor. Blending memoir, spirituality, and travel, Near the Exit examines how cultures confront and have confronted death by investigating Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Mayan temples, Colorado cremation pyres, Day of the Dead celebrations, Maori settlements, and tourist-destination graveyards.

An entertaining, addictive listen that could literally change your entire worldview. If you subscribe to what The Captivated Audience: Hoaxes, Illusions and the Biblical Earth proposes, it will warrant you to forsake NASA and some of the scientific theories that we have been indoctrinated to believe as inherent truths. Only you can awaken from this Masonic-induced hypnosis that we have been under, and become aware that you have been an unconscious member of the "captivated audience."

What is the Sermon on the Mount? In Matthew 5-7, Christ climbs a mountain with his disciples and from there gives his most famous sermon. He starts by describing those who are members of his heavenly kingdom (Matt 5:3-10). They are the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, etc. Those who are truly heavenly citizens don’t just have a profession of faith but experience a faith that changes their life and character—they are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). Christ warns those listening to his sermon of potential deception—if their ...

Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom.

How can we truly live a life of faith? Over 4,000 years ago, God called a man named Abraham to begin a wonderful journey of faith with him. Abraham was a pagan who worshiped idols; however, he left his home, family, and security to follow God. God called Abraham to be a centerpiece in his plan to redeem all people (Gen 12:1–3). All nations would be blessed through him, as he was the father of Israel—God’s priests—and an ancestor of Jesus—the one who gave his life to save the world (John 3:16). Because of Abraham’s great faith, he is called the father of all who believe (Gal 3:7)...

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

Could it be that it was never meant to provide objective solutions to the world but to instead serve individual believers as a map for their respective walks? Have we misinterpreted the purpose and place of the New Testament today?

The plague of one-dimensional thinking is responsible for more unnecessary divisions, more useless doctrinal arguments, and more dangerous discrediting of inspired scriptures among God’s people than any other factor. The cure is to start thinking two-dimensionally. In this treatise, Paul Kasch challenges believers to consider matters from God’s perspective – and by so doing, attempts to unite us under the core values of our faith, better equipping us for our service and daily struggles while sojourning in this hostile environment. We have enough tribulation without fighting each other...
