Book Description
The stagnation of David Peale's faith has left him wondering about the real value of being a Christian. Is trying to be a good person, reading the Bible and attending a church service all that is required to be considered a child of God? His disillusionment in the mind was battling with the spiritual anxiety in his soul. Instead of surrendering and continuing with a mediocre faith, David decides he must know more and have a deeper relationship with God. This desire from the inner core of the heart is the first step in an adventurous quest into the mysterious inner realm of spiritual growth. David Peale's journey takes place in that special spiritual realm. Though his soul never actually leaves his body its experiences are with the Holy Spirit, in a place known as "Spirit Land". Spirit Land is not heaven, but a place where the Holy Spirit guides an individual's soul in acquiring knowledge. It is a methodological process with specific monthly themes such as one month will highlight God's love and another humility and so on. This knowledge enlightens the soul to a deeper revealed truth of God and to expose the misconceptions and perceived understandings of truth that have been embraced by the mind and heart of man. At the end of each month David Peale's soul issues a report to David. This book is the collection of those reports. One trip to Spirit Land is never enough for real transformation to occur. For David's soul, two trips are documented in this book. Part one is his first trip where he learns more as to the nature of God and part two reveals who we are in relationship with God. It is the author's hope that as you read David's soul's monthly reports you as well will experience your own journey in Spirit Land. David Peale, His Soul's Journey to Spirit Land - An Adventure into the Inner realm of Spiritual Growth, is a fantasy tale relating to the author's own spiritual journey of faith.

A Stranger in the House of God
Author: John Koessler
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310864216
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

When the English Fall
Author: David Williams
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616208090
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
A riveting and unexpected novel that questions whether a peaceful and non- violent community can survive when civilization falls apart. Again, all are asleep, but I am not. I need sleep, but though I read and I pray, I feel too awake. My mind paces the floor. There are shots now and again, bursts here and there, far away, and I cannot sleep. I think of this man in his hunger, shot like a rabbit raiding a garden. For what, Lord? For stealing corn intended for pigs and cattle, like the hungry prodigal helpless in a strange land. I can hear his voice. When a catastrophic solar storm brings about the collapse of modern civilization, an Amish community is caught up in the devastating aftermath. With their stocked larders and stores of supplies, the Amish are unaffected at first. But as the English (the Amish name for all non-Amish people) in the cities become increasingly desperate, they begin to invade nearby farms, taking whatever they want and unleashing unthinkable violence on the gentle communities. Written as the diary of an Amish farmer named Jacob who tries to protect his family and his way of life, When the English Fall examines the idea of peace in the face of deadly chaos. Should members of a nonviolent society defy their beliefs and take up arms to defend themselves? And if they do, can they survive? David Williams’s debut novel is a thoroughly engrossing look into the closed world of the Amish, as well as a thought-provoking examination of how we live today and what remains if the center cannot hold.
