The Gospel of Thomas
Summary
The Gospel of Thomas is a non-canonical scripture dating back to around 50-100 CE that was found near Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945 CE, buried in a clay jar with many other documents, all in Coptic, that collectively came to be known as the Nag Hammadi Library of Gnostic texts. A few fragments of the Gospel of Thomas in Greek had previously been found in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt at various times between 1897 CE and 1905 CE. This text bears very little superficial resemblance to the traditional four gospels found in the modern New Testament. Thomas a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus. It contains no linking narrative whatsoever, and very little context for any of the sayings. The words are somewhat similar to those found in Matthew and Luke, a few in Mark, and one or two parallels in John. But the tone and the message of the teaching is often strikingly different. Most of the sayings are clearly mystical instructions. They are lessons in how to contact divine consciousness directly. This book clearly compares each of the sayings with its counterparts in the traditional gospels and points the way to a deeper understanding of all of these ancient texts.

True Police Stories: Inside The REAL Stories of the Scary, Unexplained & Weird
Summary
Inside he real stories of the scary, unexplained, and weird.... Between robberies, reports of lost people and pets, bar fights, domestic fights, car accidents, and anything else you can imagine, police officers have an incredibly difficult job. They must be there to take care of anything that goes wrong, offer support and help to all the people involved, and put themselves in harm's way more often than not. Many people take this for granted. In fact, most people don't give the police the respect they deserve. They are disrespectful and rude, and they will refuse to pay the tickets they have received or appear in court when they are told to. These people act as though the police are out to get them, when the police are, in fact, just doing their jobs. The life of a police officer might be rewarding, but there really is no way to tell for sure how much you will have to deal with. In this book, we are going to look at some of these tales of valor. Some of the horrific and unexplained things police officers have seen with their own eyes, and some of the things they have had to experience for themselves. Facing an armed robber in a shoot out is one of the most terrifying things anyone could be a part of, but perhaps even that pales in comparison to facing a paranormal spirit that could strike at any time. Listen to these eyewitness accounts of what members of the police force have had to deal with, and perhaps gain a better understanding - and appreciation - of what they are doing for you. Here is a preview of what's inside...

The Will to Live Greater
Summary
This anointed audiobook is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Here you will learn that the truth in word of God holds you tightly in the love of God and that keeps us tightly in righteousness. You will learn that if you ignore the counsel of God, you will create problems for yourself that will destroy your character, credibility, and true purpose. You will learn how to listen to God’s word as much more than “advice”. It keeps us from greater pain in the future, even if it is painful for the present moment. I share lessons of how the adversary will attack you to lead you into disobedience with the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life. This will conform you to the wicked way that slowly kills the inward man and causes us to draw away from the way of God. “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” (I John 2:16) You will come to see that the struggle with your warring members is real. You will learn to ponder over scriptures until you come to a place to say to yourself, “There are two problems [1] the way the truth and life or [2] the way I understand truth without God’s way”. You will learn how to trust and never doubt the word of God. I will show you how to lean not to your understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge God’s word and the Holy Spirit will direct your path. This path is the peace that passes all our understanding. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:6) I am sharing my vision and my testimony in this audiobook The Will to Live Greater so that everyone will know “He is alive”. Further, he is calling us to a higher calling so that we may all live in perfect peace with one another. We will come through every trial with a greater measure of faith in God’s word. Therefore continue to go through the process of sanctification and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. You will learn in this audiobook the Lord god of Israel delights in those who seek after the way, the truth and the life. He is looking for the word in the flesh and the will to live greater sets you on the path! “Therefore, let us not be weary in the well doing, for in due season we will reap, if you faint not.” (Galatians 6:9) The Will to Live Greater speaks to heart, soul, body...”Without faith it is impossible to please God.”
