The Truth about Angels is the one book you need to discover the angels within. With the world in turmoil, spiritual forces are needed more than ever before. Harnessing the angel and new age movement can help you make sense of life when it feels directionless. Angels provide us with hope and illuminate a new path forward. They are appearing with more frequency and intensity in both our daily lives and our dreams as they're wanting us to see, hear and know them because, consciously or unconsciously, we have collectively been asking for them. Rather than visiting or becoming dependent on gurus, psychics or mediums, expert Theresa Cheung is here to show you how to directly communicate with angels on your own. Divided into three parts - The Secret World of Angels, The Secret Language of Angels and Angels and Miracles - Theresa Cheung's much-anticipated book will teach you everything you need to know, including how to decode the secret language they speak to us in, how to look within - rather than externally - to find angels, as well as sharing real-life anecdotes on how angels have changed the lives of people all over the world. In The Truth about Angels Theresa will also share her own spiritual story; her book is based on decades of research, personal experience, and is underpinned by science.

Stop the spiral of toxic thoughts. Sometimes we are content being good, and yet our insides are in complete disarray - but because no one knows it, we assume we are okay. This work we are going to do through our study of the book of Philippians might be the most important thing we've ever done. But we don't do it merely as another self-improvement project. The Bible knows nothing of a connected regenerate person, filled with the Spirit, whose goal is to just survive. Our faith journey here on Earth is not meant to be summed up to a behavior modification. Our journey should be a radical departure from the world and how it thinks. Our journey should represent a supernatural intervention remaking us into whom God built us to be. We want to be women who set our minds on Christ, better yet realizing we have already been given the mind of Christ and therefore, we are deeply and intrinsically motivated and moved by an entirely different source. Not only do we make Jesus happy, but we find our complete happiness in him. These are truths that if we could only believe, would change everything. It is possible to waste our lives because we never learn to take our thoughts captive. Jennie dives headfirst into Paul's letter to the Philippians, imploring and encouraging them to become entirely new kinds of humans whose minds are set solely on Christ. Best-selling author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen steps through the book of Philippians with purpose and intention, unpacking the simple but difficult truth of allowing ourselves and our minds to be transformed in the name of Christ. Jennie confronts our current cultural struggles while relating valid and trusted answers in Scripture that inspire real change from the inside out. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Get Out of Your Head: A Study in Philippians includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

God loves you incredibly, faithfully, and with a kind of love that is beyond compare. In fact, God wants you to so thoroughly understand and be encompassed by his love that he gave you a picture of it! God reveals this picture in the God-ordained covenant of marriage. While Our Union with Christ is not a typical book on marriage, it reveals the relationship Jesus has with his Church. The apostle Paul speaks of the marriage relationship between a husband and wife and Christ and the Church in Ephesians 5 and refers to it as a “great mystery.” Author and pastor Duane Sheriff shares this epic love story and revelation that will illuminate your union with Jesus. These truths will establish and secure you in God’s eternal love and abiding care, and you will never again doubt God’s goodness toward you. As you come to know by the Spirit the great mystery, you will grow in intimacy with the Lord, your faith will soar, and you will experience the peace of God like never before.

Completely Revised Second Edition with 23 new killings from the Apocrypha. Drunk With Blood includes a separate account for each of God's 158 killings. These stories fill the pages of the Bible, yet they are seldom read in church and are ignored by most Bible believers, which is a shame because God is so proud of his killings: "I kill...I wound...I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh." Deuteronomy 32:39-42 You've probably heard of a few of God's killings. Noah's Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Goliath, maybe. But there are over 150 others that are unknown to pretty much everyone, believer and nonbeliever alike. Did you know, for example, that God: Forced friends and family to kill each other for dancing naked around Aaron's golden calf? Burned Aaron's sons to death for offering him strange fire? Burned complainers to death, forced the survivors to eat quail until it literally came out their noses, sent "fiery serpents" to bite people for complaining about the lack of food and water, and killed 14,700 for complaining about his killings? Buried alive those that opposed Moses (along with their families)? Burned 250 men to death for burning incense? Rewarded Phinehas for throwing a spear though the bellies of an inter-tribal couple while they were having sex? Ordered, assisted in, or approved of dozens of complete genocides? Accepted human sacrifice in the cases of Jephthah's daughter and Saul's seven sons? Helped Samson murder 30 men for their clothes, slaughter 1,000 with the jawbone of an ass, and kill 3,000 civilians in a suicide terrorist attack? Smote the Philistines of several cities with hemorrhoids in their secret parts? Killed a man for trying to keep the ark of the covenant from falling and 50,070 for looking into the ark? Approved when David bought his first wife with 200 Philistine foreskins? Killed King Saul for not killing every Amalekite as he told him to do? Slowly killed a baby to punish King David for committing adultery? Killed 70,000 because David had a census that he (or Satan) told him to do? Sent a lion to kill a prophet for believing another prophet's lie, another lion to kill a man for not smiting a prophet, and some more lions to kill people that didn't fear him enough? Killed 450 religious leaders who lost a prayer contest with Elijah and burned 102 men to death for asking Elijah to come down from his hill? Sent two bears to rip apart 42 boys for making fun of Elisha's bald head? Killed 27,000 Syrians by having a wall fall on them, sent an angel to kill 185,000 sleeping soldiers, interfered in human battles to kill a half million Israelites and a million Ethiopian soldiers? Killed King Ahab for not killing a captured king, and then sent King Jehu on a series of mass murders to kill all of Ahab's family and friends who had ever "pissed against a wall?" Killed Jehoram by making his bowels fall out? Killed Job's ten children in a bet with Satan? Killed Ezekiel's wife and told him not to mourn her? Killed Ananias and Sapphira for not giving Peter all their money? Killed King Herod by feeding him to worms? All of these killings, and more, are found in the Bible, and their stories are told in the 2nd Edition of Drunk With Blood.

God didn’t design the Seder to put your kids to sleep. Instead, the Seder is an experience your family should love, treasure and remember. Have you ever wondered that there might be something more to Passover, the Seder, and the Haggadah - something that just might hold the secrets to living the life of joy and meaning that you were intended to? In The Telling, Mark Gerson, host of The Rabbi’s Husband podcast and renowned Jewish philanthropist, shows us how to make the Seder the most engaging, inspiring, and important night of the Jewish year. By using this book, you’ll be able to: Lead the Seder with wisdom, confidence and fun that guests will remember Make the Haggadah burst alive with insight for our opportunities, questions and challenges Show Gentile friends the richness of the Jewish tradition Instill a lasting love of Judaism within your children Bring your family closer together and closer to God The Telling will enable you to see what the Haggadah really is: The Greatest Hits of Jewish Thought. This understanding will enable you to provide your guests with the most interesting, insightful, and practically helpful night of the year - with teachings and lessons that will continue to brighten in the year to come. What leaders are saying about The Telling: "In The Telling, Mark Gerson brilliantly illuminates some of the big questions from the Haggadah whose answers can define what constitutes a meaningful life. By showing how the Haggadah enables its readers to deploy ancient Jewish wisdom to help answer the most contemporary questions, this book will help your Pesach to be what it can be: a life-guiding event, every year, for anyone who learns enough to give it the opportunity." (Senator Joseph Lieberman) "Once a year, shortly before Pesach (emphatically not Passover!), Mark Gerson steps out of his role as a world-class entrepreneur and becomes a teacher of Torah - or more precisely, of the Haggadah. Those sessions have become legendary, and this book helps explain why. Here is Gerson's inimitable voice - passionate, erudite and most of all deeply in love with Jewish wisdom. Read this book to understand why the Haggadah has endured as a seminal Jewish text and why it remains no less relevant today than when it was first written." (Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor and Like Dreamers) "The Telling is the perfect introduction for those desiring to explore this aspect of Jewish life. This book is full of knowledge and thought-provoking questions and answers to the many mysteries that surround this sacred Jewish holiday." (Gordon Robertson, CEO, The Christian Broadcasting Network) "Just when I thought I knew everything about the Haggadah, I opened up Mark's book, and sure enough, I found myself thinking differently, questioning, and wrestling with big new ideas. I am excited to bring these ideas forward to my family's Seder and meaningful conversations all year round." (Sarah Waxman, founder, At the Well) "As believers, there is so much we can gain from the story of the Exodus Passover, when God brought the children of Israel out of bondage by His mighty hand. With the powerful book The Telling by Mark Gerson, you will learn from a Hebrew perspective many hidden aspects of the Passover story that will bless your life. Get ready to encounter the God of the miraculous like you never have before!" (Pastor Judy Shaw, Judy Shaw Ministries) Jacket design: Jonathan Bush

Do you want to develop your psychic abilities? Do you desire to recognize any empath? Keep reading to find out more! Psychic power is an ability to perceive that which is beyond the normal human senses and through extrasensory perception. Humans have five senses: sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch. Although some call psychic abilities the sixth sense, people with psychic abilities generally have overexaggerated human senses. An empath is a person with the special gift of perceiving the emotions and feelings of other people as though they were their own without even trying. They are naturally tuned in to the energies floating around them. If an empath walks into a room and sits next to a person who’s quietly mourning, the empath will pick up on the sorrow and experience it as though it were their own. An empath who lacks awareness of their gift can be deeply conflicted, as they cannot tell apart their own feelings from those of others. The goal of this book is simple: to help you understand the empathic nature much better and give you clear-cut techniques on how to shield your energy from harsh environments and also begin realizing your psychic potential and become confident and empowered as you journey into the world of psychic power. Other things you will also learn in the book include: How to develop your psychic abilities Aura reading Spirit guides What is an empath and how to recognize it? How to recognize if you are an empath Understanding the potentials of your energy and abilities How to stop absorbing stress and draining of energy Get into intimate relationships How to find the right work that feeds you The ways of developing yourself as an empath And more than three hours of guided meditation for you!

What would be possible if you could unlock your entire mental potential?
The Master Key System is one of the classic works in the "science of thought" tradition. Charles F. Haanel's timeless work has been rediscovered for the benefit of today's listener. Newly updated for the 21st Century, the time-tested wisdom of Haanel's system reveals techniques to unlock thought as a creative energy and power.
The internalization of these concepts will allow you to attract everything you want in life - the source of all power is the world within. The principle by which thought manifests itself is the Law of Attraction. Your subconscious can and will solve any problem. One idea can be worth millions of dollars from the right frame of mind. The secret of the solution to every problem is to apply Spiritual Truth. Abundance is a natural law of the Universe. Worry, fear, and negative thoughts produce a similar crop - we reap what we sow.
Beyond mere positive thinking, The Master Key System can help to uncover your path to success.

"Many may claim to hold the key to a great night's sleep. But there's only one sacred sleep." (1Samuel 10:5-6) The follower of Christ believes peace comes only from him - both in this world and in the next - through the hearing of his word, by the power of his Spirit. "His word makes me wise." (Matthew 7:24) "It gives me fellowship with him." (Luke 8:21) "It sanctifies me." (John 17:17). "Indeed, it is the very source of my faith." (Romans 10:17) This fifth and latest volume in Five Talents Audio's Sacred Sleep series contains all 150 psalms (or songs) found in the Jewish Tanakh or Christian Old Testament. It was created with the above biblical model of peace in mind to form a unique bedtime experience that will help you get the rest you need while deepening your faith and drawing you closer to God. Combined with a scholarly Introduction by Robert J. Bagley, this groundbreaking sleep aid contains some of the most beloved verses in Scripture, carefully selected and presented in such a way as to let the water of the word and worship wash over you every time you experience them. Our prayer is that not only will you obtain "sound wisdom and discretion" from these verses (Proverbs 3:21), but that "you will [also] lie down, and your sleep will be sweet". (Proverbs 3:24) So, turn off the day (Matthew 6:34), and invite the Lord into a peaceful time of sacred sleep tonight.

How did an obscure science fiction writer become one of the world's most notorious religious leaders? Bare-Faced Messiah tells the extraordinary story of L. Ron Hubbard, a penniless science fiction writer who founded the Church of Scientology, became a millionaire prophet, and convinced his adoring followers that he alone could save the world. According to his "official" biography, Hubbard was an explorer, engineer, scientist, war hero, and philosopher. But in the words of a Californian judge, he was schizophrenic, paranoid, and a pathological liar. What is not in dispute is that Hubbard was one of the most bizarre characters of the 20th century. Bare-Faced Messiah exposes the myths surrounding the fascinating and mysterious founder of the Church of Scientology - a man of hypnotic charm and limitless imagination - and provides the definitive account of how the notorious organization was created.

“We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.” The Practice of the Presence of God is a collection of writings and teachings from Brother Lawrence. Brother Lawrence - originally named Nicolas Herman - was a friar in France who worked in the 1600s. Brother Lawrence’s teachings focused on encouraging his students to seek out the presence of God in the everyday. Through living a life of obedience, humility, and piety, Lawrence posits that humans are able to interact and live in communion with God. This work is one of the earliest Christian texts that proclaims the value of experiencing the presence of God through living an ordinary life. Living ordinarily leaves the mind open to interacting with God’s presence, and allows people to be in constant reflection and prayer at all times. Whether “ordinary” is completing household chores, eating quiet dinners, acting gracefully in difficult circumstances, Brother Lawrence holds that practicing daily thoughtful living is how humans can commune with the divine. Commended for its simplicity and for the earnest beliefs of the author, The Practice of the Presence of God is a great listen for Christians wanting to learn how find God in the everyday.
