End of Days: Predictions of the End From Ancient Sources

By Richard Hooper, M.Div.

Never before in human history have we faced the challenges we do today. Will we meet those challenges, change our ways, and save ourselves and Mother Earth before it is too late? Or will we continue in our destructive ways and bring out our own end? Do we face a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, or will destruction somehow lead us onward to new age? What if the End is not only inevitable, but something we should accept as necessary for the evolution of our species?

Beyond Religion The Personal Search for Truth

By Barbara Mayer

In Beyond Religion, a former Roman Catholic nun speaks out about narrow definitions and dogmatic perspectives about God, or “truth,” as defined by patriarchal Christian theology, noting that the Church’s intransience is increasingly leading to dissent and a mass exodus from the pews.

Mayer rejects self-limiting ideas about what “truth” is, and argues that the Church’s definition is no longer meaningful or fulfilling in this, humanity’s third axial age.

Mayer points out that ten per cent of all Americans are FORMER Roman Catholics, but does not believe people have left the Church because they are no longer spiritual.  On the contrary, Mayer argues that now, more than ever, people are searching for a meaningful personal spirituality that transcends simplistic doctrines and dogmas.

Beyond Religion covers numerous subjects such as understanding one’s religious roots, a new perspective on the historical Jesus and Christ Mind, how  spiritual feminism is changing the religious landscape, quantum and non-linear ways of thinking, Eastern philosophy, dualism vs monism, meditation, mysticism, healing and wholeness.

Having been a num for thirteen years, Barbara Mayer is in a unique position to offer personal insights into religious doubt, depression, and the dark night of the soul. By having taken the road less traveled herself, she is able to help lead others forward toward spiritual maturity and personal transformation.

In the end, Beyond Religion is about God as Divine Mystery, the Great Source that compels all true seekers to never cease seeking, never cease growing, and never cease opening the heart.

The Historical Tradition of the First Apostle, and the Ancient Church’s Campaign to Suppress it

The Awakening: A Conscious Shift to A Higher Realm

by Vicky Anderson

This is the story of one person's spiritual awakening.  The various progressions and levels of awareness that are achieved from the initiations in this process are similar to those achieved in the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

You can think of this process as giving up the addiction to the physical form and adopting a new way of perceiving rerality - one of light, love, prosperity, unity and the consciousness of Christ.  The process of awakening to who we truly are is ultimately the process of Ascension, one of self-realiization and the manifestation of our bodies as Light.

This book was especially written for the Christians and Agnostics who are still actively searching for the truth.

 

 


The Room: A Transformational Journey from Fear to Love

by Michael James

Ever since he met Maria, recent college grad Greg Peterson has been having a streak of bad luck. Upset and bewildered, he rents a room in Maria's home. She's a kindly old woman with a connection to something deeper that Greg has always craved, and she is willing to share her knowledge. But there is something off about Maria that Greg just can't put his finger on. Still, he relaxes into the comfort of her home and her teachings. Slowly he begins to trust this odd woman.

Will he realize his critical mistake too late? The Room puts Greg's life squarely in the hands of Maria, leaving us to wonder who emerges as the student and who the master on their journey from the emptiness of fear to the power of love.
