Book Description
‘Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.’ Jesus, whilst teaching us how to pray, subtly revealed the Father’s desire to have His ‘will’ prevail on our terrestrial plane, as is the status quo in the celestial realms. Christ also – in the prayer, hinted that we should align ourselves to this Heavenly objective; as this is embedded in our prayer – to God. As it says: “After this manner therefore pray ye; Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10) After the important step of starting our prayers with praises and thanksgiving to God; the next on our agenda, should be to show our solidarity to this divine course. That His ‘will’ – must of necessity, prevail on Earth. In this, is our allegiance to Him confirmed. As much as we might try to play ignorance, one fact remains absolutely clear: Anyone born into this World, automatically gets thrown into an ongoing battle between good and evil. And to this War, there is no parley! Our very actions or inactions, take sides with one of these two opposing powers. Since the days of Joshua, God has read the riot act to all men; “Choose you this day, whom you will serve!” (Joshua 24:15) All who choose God’s Son, Jesus, choose life. Those who rebel against Him however, have aligned themselves with those condemned to the lake of fire. Whether you know it or not – currently, by your way of life, actions, beliefs, acceptance or rejection of the Christ; you have aligned yourself with a side. For there is NO MIDDLE GROUND!

Book Description
The Middle Way is the practical principle of avoiding both positive and negative absolutes, so as to develop provisional beliefs accessible to experience. Although inspired initially by the Buddha’s Middle Way, in Middle Way Philosophy Robert M. Ellis has developed it as a critical universalism: a way of separating the helpful from the unhelpful elements of any tradition. In this book, the Middle Way is applied to the Christian tradition in order to argue for a meaningful and positive interpretation of it, without the absolute beliefs that many assume to be essential to Christianity. Faith as an embodied, provisional confidence is distinguished from dogmatic belief. Recent developments in embodied meaning, brain lateralization from neuroscience, Jungian archetypes and the Jungian model of psychological integration are drawn on to support an account of how Christian faith is not only possible without ‘belief’ in God or Christ, but indeed puts us in a better position to access inspiration, moral purpose, responsibility and the basis of peace.

Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Already the most discussed and most important religious book of the decade." —David Brooks In this controversial bestseller, Rod Dreher calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life. From the inside, American churches have been hollowed out by the departure of young people and by an insipid pseudo–Christianity. From the outside, they are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. Keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House may have bought a brief reprieve from the state’s assault, but it will not stop the West’s slide into decadence and dissolution. Rod Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back—all the way to St. Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the moral chaos following Rome’s fall, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians. He built enduring communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. His spiritual centers of hope were strongholds of light throughout the Dark Ages, and saved not just Christianity but Western civilization. Today, a new form of barbarism reigns. Many believers are blind to it, and their churches are too weak to resist. Politics offers little help in this spiritual crisis. What is needed is the Benedict Option, a strategy that draws on the authority of Scripture and the wisdom of the ancient church. The goal: to embrace exile from mainstream culture and construct a resilient counterculture. The Benedict Option is both manifesto and rallying cry for Christians who, if they are not to be conquered, must learn how to fight on culture war battlefields like none the West has seen for fifteen hundred years. It's for all mere Christians—Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox—who can read the signs of the times. Neither false optimism nor fatalistic despair will do. Only faith, hope, and love, embodied in a renewed church, can sustain believers in the dark age that has overtaken us. These are the days for building strong arks for the long journey across a sea of night.

Book Description
"A departure at right angles to thinking in the modern Western world. An important, original work, that should get the widest possible hearing" (Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and his Emissary) Middle Way Philosophy is not about compromise, but about the avoidance of dogma and the integration of conflicting assumptions. To rely on experience as our guide, we need to avoid the interpretation of experience through unnecessary dogmas. Drawing on a range of influences in Buddhist practice, Western philosophy and psychology, Middle Way Philosophy questions alike the assumptions of scientific naturalism, religious revelation and political absolutism, trying to separate what addresses experience in these doctrines from what is merely assumed. This Omnibus edition of Middle Way Philosophy includes all four of the volumes previously published separately: 1. The Path of Objectivity, 2. The Integration of Desire, 3. The Integration of Meaning, and 4. The Integration of Belief.

Book Description
This is a multi-pronged book, aimed at moderating, redirecting, aligning, and perfecting Christian believers to run the race according to God's standards. There is no compromise with God's standard, nor alliance between God's kingdom and the world. In the things of this world, it is always ?a little to the left and a little to the right, ? which is a strategy in man's craftiness not to be caught on the wrong side. It has always been said that in politics, ? there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. It is a marriage of convenience. However, this is contrary the Word of God. You are either on the right or on the left, either hot or cold; there is no middle ground. Thus, you need to know who you are as a believer, using the Word of God as a mirror, in order to enable you know your state and make an informed decision of which side you will choose to be. There are several areas of life in the kingdom, like marriage, our ultimate destination, commitment to God, our character manifestation and our lifestyle. I believe this book will bring some new dimensions that we may not have contemplated before now.
