There’s so much misrepresentation of the Holy Spirit as well as perversion of spiritual activities today in godliness in the name of the Holy Spirit. We therefore need God’s Standard with which to correctly identify as well as authenticate the true (Holy) Spirit. The True Spirit is the Holy Spirit; and the truth of Christ is His authenticating Standard; hence, Christ the Truth introduced and presented Him as the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13-15). The Author in this neat and precise book of great importance, ‘The True Spirit,’ has clearly shown who the true (Holy) Spirit is and His ...

This book shows how we can move beyond secular mindfulness and compassion techniques to the cultivation of insight - seeing into and thereby becoming free of the repetitive thinking that keeps us trapped in cycles of suffering. Most books in the secular mindfulness tradition stop with mindfulness and self-compassion but do little to uncover the root causes of our suffering. Drawing on both Buddhist analyses of mind and current findings in psychology and neuroscience, the book explains how our thinking becomes fixed through our engaging with unconscious preferences and reactions.

Most of us want to succeed. And most of us want to do the right thing. But we often forget that the way tosucceed is by doing the right thing, as Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe remind us in Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing.

A lack of self-confidence is one of the greatest maladies of today’s world, one that is responsible for the rampant helplessness, lack of self-control, aimlessness, procrastination, and despair that characterize modern society. But as the venerable steel magnate Andrew Carnegie emphasized to Hill, “Confidence is a state of mind, necessary to succeed, and the starting point of developing self-confidence is definiteness of purpose.”

The world of work is expanding. New technologies, industries and means of meeting apart–and–still–together, have presided in the transition of the workplace into a fast, digital and busier–than–ever era. In whichever sector you care to name, work is increasing exponentially, for reducing rewards and benefits. It is more than easy to complain, drag one’s feet while getting out of the door, and face daily tasks with an apathetic attitude. A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day.

All Round SALVATION SALVATION simply means Soundness. In the beginning when God concluded His creation, with man, made in His image and likeness, and positioned here to rule…, beginning at Eden…, everything was perfect and sound. There was no trouble, no danger, no affliction, no bad condition or negative situation anywhere. Man had the very sound life of God in him; and everything was made and kept sound and safe with him and around him. And God gave man a command to keep: for the maintenance of their relationship, and the sustenance of man’s soundness, as they tended the Garden at ...
