Book Description
A breathtaking account of how the surrounding cosmos impacts life on Earth Did you know that as you read these words showers of high-speed particles from exploding stars are raining down on you? As you gaze into the starry sky, you might feel isolated from the Universe around you—but you're not. This book reveals the startling ways life on Earth is touched by our cosmic environment, and demonstrates why without such contact, life itself wouldn't be possible. Heaven's Touch embarks on an unforgettable journey across the cosmos, beginning in near space with a look at the gentle ebb and flow of lunar and solar tides. Acclaimed astronomer James Kaler describes their subtle effects on our world and also explores the Sun's more potent influences, such as solar storms that cause auroras, give comets their tails, and knock out power grids on Earth. He ventures across the Solar System to consider how the planets can act to produce climate change, even global disaster. Kaler shows how Jupiter's gravity can throw asteroids toward potentially devastating collision with Earth, and how even our whole Galaxy might hurl comet storms at us. He then takes us into deepest space to describe the cosmic rays launched at us from exploding stars, and considers not just how these exploders might harm us, but how they also join together in the creation of stars and how they serve to populate the Universe with the very building blocks of life. Informative and entertaining, Heaven's Touch reveals how intimately connected we really are with the dynamic Universe in which we live.

Paradise: Sides Of The North And The Mount Of Congregation
Author: Zen Garcia
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365795950
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
In June 2015, the Most High allowed me to decrypt chapters 70-82 of the Book of Enoch's courses of the heavenly luminaries. This text has for 500 years been lost to modern translation because of the Copernican heliocentric worldview. The riddle was resolved with the Flat Earth As Key To Decrypt The Book Of Enoch. In this last book of the trilogy, I explain the sides of the north connection to the throne of God, mount of congregation, Jacob's ladder, New Jerusalem, bottomless pit, and abysmal chasm which situated at the North Pole is gateway into the Earth's hollow interior. A magnetic mountain is centered there surrounded by a giant whirlpool which sucking and spewing out the oceans alternatively every six hours causes the tidal rhythm. Embracing earth as'flat disc with upturned edge' described by August Picard one can unlock the geocentric cosmology affirmed by the Bible and other texts like Enoch.

Brokenness to Bliss
Author: Roger H. Grummer
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480882070
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
There is a silent hunger among many that seeks to satisfy the longing for a greater understanding about death, dying, and the beyond. Yet some may find it difficult to speak about these concerns or to openly ask questions. Within a simple, candid guide, pastor emeritus Dr. Roger Grummer offers a window through which the curious can gain a greater glimpse into what death, dying, and the beyond is all about while attaining answers to common, end-of-life questions such as: Why does death exist? How can we participate in the final days of our own lives? What will the afterlife be like? While encouraging Christians to consult the Bible for God's truth about dying, Dr. Grummer also presents practical information from those who have had hands-on experience in caring for the terminally ill as well as other interesting and spiritual insights about what comes after death that include stories of near-death experiences and views from other cultures. Brokenness to Bliss shares a seasoned pastor's observations about death, dying, and the beyond that shed light on what happens to our bodies, souls, and spirits as we move from our earthly lives to eternity.
