Book Description
Children from around the world show us God in ways that we may have forgotten! "When I looked out my window at the changing seasons, I didn't really see anything at all. My eyes were focused on my work and all the tasks I had to do each day.... Then one morning...racing to get to work, I caught a glimpse of the fiery red leaves of a Japanese maple tree in late autumn. For a moment I stopped in my tracks. It was a wake-up call. 'There is a world out there,' I thought, 'and a world beyond that world. And you,' I said to myself, 'are missing both. If this is what it means to be an adult, you need to find a way to see the world more like a child.'" from the introduction What does God do? How do we let God in? If you met God, what would you say? Here are the "theological" answers of young spiritual thinkers from around the world, representing more than twenty different religious traditions. In sharing how they see God, they'll help you to see God in new ways. In a poetic language of images all their own, these children re-awaken us to the mysteries and wonders of the universe, and lead us to our own understanding of the spiritual.

Book Description
Are you or someone you know being held captive by self-condemnation or guilt? Maybe you once served in a ministry but fell through mistake or sin, feeling there is no way back to God. When we fall, the world is quick to condemn us. Family members, friends, associates, and the self-righteous are quick to judge us guilty without recourse. While the world's condemnation is hurtful, it pales to the condemnation and guilt we put on ourselves. This condemnation comes from the devil, and he uses it to stifle any attempt to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off. Whenever the slimmest glimmer of hope appears, he quickly reminds us of what we have done. He will even use portions of Scripture to snuff out the faintest of hope's light. This keeps us broken and wondering what is the use of trying to reach out to God. Between these book covers resides a testimony to the good, the bad, and the ugly of the author's life. The accounts are raw and unvarnished. It is also a testimony of the immeasurable depth of God's love, God's grace, and God's mercy. The author shares how God took him into the wilderness to remake and repurpose him. God used an old ice tea glass to drive home the lesson The author prays sharing his story will set another captive free from the condemnation and guilt that keeps us from serving and honoring God. It doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, no one is outside the grasp of God's love, grace, and mercy. He uses our mistakes to build us up for his glory. He never stops caring.

Book Description
Gods Mysteries and Paradoxes: Looking through the Glass Darkly is a book about paradoxes and how they were actually created by God to bring unique enlightenment but also to confound the so-called earthly wisdom. Paradoxes also keep believers humble by showing them that Gods ways are not always mans ways. For this is what the high and lofty One sayshe who lives forever, whose name is holy; I live in a high and holy place but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite (Isaiah 57: 15). This book introduces the reader to the ancient idea of The Divine Paradox written by Hermes Tristmegistus (thrice great) in The Divine Pylander. An additional book, Corpus Hermeticum, was translated by Marsilo Ficino during the early Renaissance and helps frame the philosophical paradox of nature versus faith. This book, along with other fragments written by Hermes Trismegistus, was translated in the early 1400s and caused a rebirth of its teachings during the Renaissance. Modern secret societies and the occult are using much of the same knowledge to deceive people in the world today. Evidence shows Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, and the Knights Templar possessed ancient knowledge and from it gave rise to secret organizations and societies operating today, including the Illuminati, Freemasons, and modern occultists.

Book Description
For centuries, the Bible's dramatic accounts have inspired artists to express the beauty, emphasize the power, and elaborate on the meaning of God's Word. Each elective study in the Through Artists' Eyes series is designed to help people connect classic art to the Bible and then apply the truths discovered to their own lives. In God's Word Through Glass you'll experience the artistry of six stained glass masterpieces while discovering and discussing the scriptural inspiration behind each one. You'll explore the themes of overruling God, resisting leaders, immediate gratification, easy answers, mocking holiness, and comfortable religion. Each of the six sessions includes: • Broken Pieces—an introductory, group-building activity that gives members an opportunity to share opinions about the main theme of study • The Artist's Touch—an examination of the work, life, and thoughts of the artist • The Master's Light—a Bible study that places the work of the artist within biblical context • Piecing It Together—discussion questions that encourage group members to apply the principles of the study to daily life Additionally, each study features margin notes, tips for projecting the art, definitions of art terms, and suggested supplemental resources for further exploration.
