Book Description
"Despite the obvious contradictions, complexity, and apparent randomness that assault any human being day after day, everything is somehow nevertheless connected, orchestrated. The universe is filled with meaning.... In Jewish mysticism, the river is a metaphor for the Holy Oneness that unifies all creation. Just imagine it: a sacred stream, luminous and ubiquitous, a river of light." --from the Preface to the Anniversary Edition This is an invitation to wade into a deeper spiritual consciousness. Taking us step-by-step, Kushner helps us to allow "the river of light"--the deepest currents of consciousness--to rise to the surface and animate our lives.

Book Description
The Book of Lights Unveiling the Mystery of God opens the portal to life's deepest and previously undiclosed spiritual secrets. It challenges the mind to share in the knowledge that only mystics, adepts, and wise men have attained throughout the Ages. This treasure-trove of hidden knowledge takes the reader step by step into the World of the Infinite. Although the Bible is utilized to provide a base for conveying this revelatory knowledge, The Book of Lights Unveiling the Mystery of God is not secular. Clerics of all persuasions will find its presentations invaluable in their ministries. It is a work that personalizes the Bible's content and provides the reader with the Creator's eternal truths. By spiritually joining the mind to the Word on Scripture's printed page, the reader obtains the intangible understanding that the author desired to convey. The Book of Lights Unveiling the Mystery of God is a work that opens the mind to those truths the reader has longed to understand and will forever cherish. Bible study groups will find their understanding of Scripture's Word progressively enhanced when they correlate the translations offered herein with the words of Jesus, Moses and all the prophets. Those who quietly spend time reflecting upon the translations of this book will find a source of peace and spiritual inspiration unlike any they have ever known. The Book of Lights is, indeed, the "Book of Life", and all who identify with its revelations shall find their name written therein. Book jacket.

Book Description
Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico is one of the most popular apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the whole world. Only a few people know that the Virgin Mary appeared to a Spanish shepherd called Gil Cordero several hundred years before appearing to St. Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill. The story of the image that Gil Cordero found buried in Extremadura, Spain harks back to the first century. According to well-attested traditions, the first miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was carved by St. Luke, the author of the Gospel According to St. Luke, and the Acts of the Apostles. Famous men, like Christopher Columbus, Hernan Cortez, Pedro de Alvarado, Alfonso XI of Spain, King Ferdinand, and Queen Isabella had a strong devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. When the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531, the name "Our Lady of Guadalupe" already had a long record of miraculous events. This book traces the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the days of St. Luke, then to the apparition of Our Lady on Tepeyac Hill, the entrance in history of the miraculous tilma of St. Juan Diego, and the extraordinary scientific investigations that have left so many scientists baffled, and caused the conversion of one Nobel Prize scientist to Catholicism. Our Lady of Guadalupe has a message for all of us in this generation. Millions have found Christ through her advocation. Hers is perhaps the most astonishing story of our age.

Book Description
Enid Blyton's much-loved classic series, packed full of adventure and mystery. A river cruise through ancient desert lands will be an adventure in itself, think Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack. An adventure it certainly is, especially when Bill disappears and the children, along with Kiki the parrot, are trapped beneath a forgotten temple where no one has set foot for 7,000 years. First published in 1955, this edition contains the original text and is unillustrated.

Book Description
There are a vast number of superhuman persons in the spiritual realm, created perfect, but having free will like us, and , therefore, capable of turning towards evil. Among them were Lucifer, Satan and Caligastia, for example. They are not God, but, when they function perfectly in tandem with God, they may be referred to as God, or the Good Shepherd, as in Psalm 23. Signi_ cantly, the majority of them, the good ones, tell us that they first recognize the FACT of God by His River of inexhaustible energy. Meditating on this led me to put my thoughts down in this book, partly for my own spiritual good. But I am happy to share them.
