Book Description
A Firefighter's Prophetic Journey is a fascinating, personal story of a man's dreams, visions, and encounters with God. For the first time, Hopper recounts his journey through the fires of life, in the physical and the spiritual, discussing in depth the prophetic lessons learned, the profound impact they had upon his heart, and how they have encouraged the faith of numerous individuals along the way. These are stories of ministry beyond the pulpit, outside of the Church, typically one on one with an audience of One. After a dramatic, visible encounter with the angel of the Lord in April of 1995, Hopper writes... "Ezekiel had an encounter with the Lord that left him speechless; he sat by the river Chebar for 7 days, astonished (Ezekiel 3). When Isaiah encountered the Lord in Isaiah 6, he said "I am disintegrating." Many others fell on their faces "like dead men." After Job complained to the Lord for over 30 chapters he finally said, my ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. I abhor myself and I repent in dust and ashes (Job 42). When God appeared at Mount Sinai, the people told Moses to go talk to God and tell them what He said. They didn't want that much of God again. Moses said "The Lord has come near you to put the fear of Him in you that you might not sin" (Exodus 20). Peter experienced terror on the Mount of Transfiguration when he saw Jesus in His glorified state. Saul of Tarsus said "Who are you, Lord?" as he was struck blind. Do I dare compare myself to people in the Bible? Of course I do! That's what we SHOULD do!" With no Christian heritage in his immediate family, God drew Hopper to Himself through this journey of discovery...40 years experiencing the beauty of the Lord, beyond the works of men. As a memoir meant to inspire individuals who are walking through their own fires, these stories will reveal how the Lord does work in mysterious ways. The reader will learn how the path of true obedience faces controversy, can be quite painful in unexpected ways, and how the ministry of Prophet is not one of glamour and recognition. However, it's our walking through these fires that the Lord refines our hearts. People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Book Description
The remarkable true story of how one Peruvian carpenter led hundreds of Christians to Judaism, sparking a pilgrimage from the Andes to Israel and inspiring a wave of emerging Latin American Jewish communities “If Gabriel García Márquez had written the Old Testament, it might read like Graciela Mochkofsky's staggering true account of a humble Peruvian carpenter's spiritual odyssey from a shack in the Andes, via the Amazon, to the Promised Land of Israel with a community of devoted followers." —Judith Thurman, award-winning author of Isak Dinesen Segundo Villanueva was born in 1927 in a tiny farming village perched in the Andes; when he was seventeen, his father was murdered and Segundo was left with little more than a Bible as his inheritance. This Bible launched Segundo on a lifelong obsession to find the true message of God contained in its pages. He found himself looking for answers outside the Catholic Church, whose hierarchy and colonial roots embodied the gaping social and racial inequities of Peruvian society. Over years of religious study, Segundo explored various Protestant sects and founded his own religious community in the Amazon jungle before discovering a version of Judaism he pieced together independently from his readings of the Old Testament. His makeshift synagogue began to draw in crowds of fervent believers, seeking a faith that truly served their needs. Then, in a series of extraordinary events, politically motivated Israeli rabbis converted the community to Orthodox Judaism and resettled them on the West Bank. Segundo’s incredible journey made him an unlikely pioneer for a new kind of Jewish faith, one that is now attracting masses of impoverished people across Latin America. Through detailed reporting and a deep understanding of religious and cultural history, Graciela Mochkofsky documents this unprecedented and momentous chapter in the history of modern religion. This is a moving and fascinating story of faith and the search for dignity and meaning.

Book Description
The Bible is one continuous story, from the story of creation to the story of Jesus' future return at the end of time. And yet there are smaller, pivotal stories that make up the basic structure of this one big story. This book is a series of 52 lessons that walk you through the main stories of the Bible, 26 in the Old Testament (the time leading up to Jesus) and 26 in the New Testament (the time of Jesus and beyond). These lessons are geared especially for people who learn better through stories than teaching. Prepare yourself as you go on a spiritual JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.

Book Description
Like taxes, death is inevitable. Everyone experiences it sooner or later. This book offers perspectives on death and dying from all major religions, written by experts in each of those religions. Focusing on the major world traditions, it offers important information about what death and dying means to those practicing these faiths. The second part of the book adds a necessary and truly unique perspective - a personal look at how people actually die in the various world religions, as told by a hospital chaplain, with anecdotes and experiences that bring the death process to life, so to speak. Each chapter engages the theology of each religion, giving quotes from the literature of their respective scriptural traditions, to explain the process of dying, death, and the afterlife. In doing so, each author draws on the history of his respective tradition and looks at real-life figures, exemplars of the tradition, showing how practitioners view death and hope to one day engage the death process themselves.

Book Description
What the person needs to know: should he-or-she-or-angel not be included in the resurrection to be a king or priest with Jesus Christ... What did Jesus Christ have to say about the Kingdom of God besides telling His Disciples to go out and talk about it...??? Matt.5:17. Don’t think I have come to abolish the Law. ‘Til Heaven and earth pass away – not one iota, not one period will pass away from the Law ... until all is accomplished. {All the bad guys are dead...!} Matt.5:19. Whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches mankind so, shall not be called into the Kingdom. {Judges, teachers & priests} Where does this leave Sunday & image worshippers???

Book Description
"Frightening...Firestorm comes alive when Struzik discusses the work of offbeat scientists." —New York Times Book Review "Comprehensive and compelling." —Booklist "A powerful message." —Kirkus "Should be required reading." —Library Journal For two months in the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire “the Beast.” It acted like a mythical animal, alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it’s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. A glance at international headlines shows a remarkable increase in higher temperatures, stronger winds, and drier lands– a trifecta for igniting wildfires like we’ve rarely seen before. This change is particularly noticeable in the northern forests of the United States and Canada. These forests require fire to maintain healthy ecosystems, but as the human population grows, and as changes in climate, animal and insect species, and disease cause further destabilization, wildfires have turned into a potentially uncontrollable threat to human lives and livelihoods. Our understanding of the role fire plays in healthy forests has come a long way in the past century. Despite this, we are not prepared to deal with an escalation of fire during periods of intense drought and shorter winters, earlier springs, potentially more lightning strikes and hotter summers. There is too much fuel on the ground, too many people and assets to protect, and no plan in place to deal with these challenges. In Firestorm, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires.

Book Description
A chronicle of a contemplative's mystical journey of finding a God who is as present to us today as he was in the time of Abraham. He is a God who listens, a God who speaks, and a God who heals. Could God be preparing us for the prophetic time that the prophet Joel spoke about when God will pour out his spirit on all humanity? "Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old people shall dream dreams, and your young people will see visions" (Joel 3:1-3). This author experienced the voice of the Lord calling in the night. She heard his voice and was gifted with all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: faith, wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, discernment, healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, and miracles. As you are led through her life, you will see how the prophetic came to fulfillment through her lived experiences. The miracles she gives witness to will speak to a God who is alive and dwells among us. He is the Lord who will speak to our times and our culture. God leaves us with a message of his all-consuming, unconditional love and a hope for all mankind.

Book Description
Knowing God truly, experiencing Him deeply. What would it look like to genuinely love God with our head AND our heart? To have a faith marked by right thinking AND right feeling? To know God deeply AND worship him passionately? Too often, Christians act as though these things are at odds with one another. But what if God intends for us to possess a Christianity that is radically committed to biblical truth, in a way that did not diminish the life of the heart, but actually intensified it? Adam Ramsey invites us to engage both our minds and our emotions in our walk with God as we gaze at him until our hearts sing. He sums it up like this: "My hope in these following pages is to paint a biblical portrait of what God is actually like, so that we can gaze upon him together until our hearts can’t help but sing. To behold him in such a way that our daily experience is transformed with a deepened awareness of who it is we pray to, who it is that is with us, and who it is that we are loved by. To let God’s truth set our hearts on fire." If you yearn for God but desire a clearer biblical picture of this God whom you love, or if you have been walking with God for a while now, but your experience of him has become settled or dry, then this book is for you.

Book Description
This innovative study reveals the creative world of a Native community. Once seminomadic hunters and gatherers who traveled by horse wagon, canoe, and dog sled, the Dene Tha of northern Canada today live in government-built homes in the settlement of Chateh. Their lives are a distinct blend of old and new, in which traditional forms of social control, healing, and praying entwine with services supplied by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a nursing station, and a Roman Catholic church. Many older cultural beliefs and practices remain: ghosts linger, reincarnating and sometimes causing deaths; past and future are interpreted through the Prophet Dance; ?animal helpers? become lifelong companions and sources of power; and personal visions and experiences are considered the roots of true knowledge. Why and how are such striking beliefs and practices still vital to the Dene Tha? Drawing on extensive fieldwork at Chateh, anthropologist Jean-Guy Goulet delineates the interconnections between the strands of meaning and experience with which the Dene Tha constitute and creatively engage their world. Goulet?s insights into the Dene Tha?s ways of knowing were gained through directly experiencing their lifeway rather than through formal instruction. This experiential perspective makes his study especially illuminating, providing an intimate glimpse of a remarkable and enduring Native community.
