Book Description
We can see from the floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and pollution disasters that our earth is disturbed. Not to mention the political upheaval that blights the planet. However, the Earth herself has given us tools that assist in stabilizing the situation and which teach us how to turn our thoughts and actions towards positive healing for the planet rather than envisaging her destruction. Crystals offer us creative solutions. Some amazing high-vibration crystals have made themselves known at this time to assist with Earth healing and with personal consciousness-raising. Other Earth healing crystals have been around for millennia but still do a sterling job of restoring the environment and the earth beneath our feet to optimum energetic functioning.

Book Description
The most powerful prayer on earth is also one of the most simple. Learning to pray it and mean it is the beginning of a lifetime of blessing. The largest factor that can release blessing in our lives is forgiveness. Jesus prayed over those who crucified Him: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34, NIV). To enjoy God's blessings for ourselves, we must imitate Christ's unrestrained forgiveness. An act of love and mercy, forgiveness opens the door to a life lived in joy, peace and the boundless blessings our Father wants to bestow upon us. This is the miracle key you've been waiting for. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Book Description
God’s world is full of good things. Ice-cold lemonade. The laughter of children. College football. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. A late night with old friends around a blazing campfire. God certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children. But where is the line when it comes to enjoying all the pleasurable things our world affords? In The Things of Earth, professor Joe Rigney offers perplexed Christians a breath of fresh air by lifting the burden of false standards and impossible expectations related to the Christian life—freeing readers to gratefully embrace every good thing we receive from the hand of God. Helping us avoid our tendency to forget the Giver on the one hand and neglect his gifts on the other, this much-needed book reminds us that God’s blessings should drive us to worship and that a passion for God’s glory can be as wide as the world itself.
