‘God is no thing, but not nothing.’ These words from the renowned thinker Herbert McCabe point to a fallacy at the heart of New Atheist polemics against religion: the deity rejected by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and their followers is not God as taught in classical tradition, but merely a blown-up thing. From this basic error flow many more misunderstandings about Christianity and other creeds. As a result, debate on life’s biggest questions has grown vitriolic as well as confused. Although parts of the Western world now appear almost totally secularised, Christianity remains the most potent worldview on earth alongside Islam. In this compelling book, Rupert Shortt gracefully argues that Christianity is a much more coherent, progressive body of belief – philosophically, scientifically and culturally – than often supposed by its critics. Alert to the menace posed by religious fundamentalism, as well as to secularist blind spots, he shows how a self-critical faith is of huge consequence to wider human flourishing, including through promoting peace and environmental sustainability.

"Unless we accept but One Power and live it, we can never demonstrate the Principle of our being or enjoy the fruits of the Spirit."The author's teaching is an absolute teaching based on a demonstrative principle of God as All-in-all and man's inseparability from God. Hence, There is nothing but God! Throughout the book, it is revealed that "man is God's witness to His creation. Man is the consciousness by means of which God sees His own manifestations."Through the understanding of the Christ-Consciousness, spiritual understanding, the author was enabled to see through the deception of a so-called material world and arrive at the oneness of God-pure Substance, Mind, Good.She lovingly offers "rest and drink in the name of Christ ... an oasis in the desert of mortal mind, to unburden you of the cross of deception and to crown you with the glory of your own immortal Self."

Contrary to popular opinion, God is not a Supreme Being, but the exact opposite - Absolute Nothingness. In fact, the entire reason that people suffer is because they are attached to 'being', and fail to understand that Non-being is the very basis of existence itself. In the immortal words of the Tao Te Ching, "All things are born of being; being is born of Nothingness." Nothingness is not barren oblivion, nor the opposite of life and 'being'; rather, it is the creative, fertile, and boundless principle that serves as the source and ground of beingness itself. Empty and vast, Nothingness is pregnant with limitless potential and fecundity. In theistic terms, Nothingness is God. Rooted in the teachings of the world's greatest sages, such as Lao Tzu, the Buddha, Adi Shankaracarya, Meister Eckhart, and Nisargadatta Maharaj, "God is Nothingness" explores how Non-being is indeed the root of all existence. Even more valuably, the book reveals how to actually awaken to Nothingness-how to realize God.

Gary Gray marries his first girlfriend, a fellow student from Central Florida Christian College who loves Disney World as much as he does. They are 19 years old, God-fearing, and eager to start a family, but a week before their wedding Gary goes into a rest-stop bathroom and lets something happen. God Says No is his testimony -- the story of a young black Christian struggling with desire and belief, with his love for his wife and his appetite for other men, told in a singular, emotional voice. Driven by desperation and religious visions, the path that Gary Gray takes -- from revival meetings to "out" life in Atlanta to a pray-away-the-gay ministry in Memphis, Tennessee -- gives a riveting picture of how a life like his can be lived, and how it can't.

How can we fully trust God to do the impossible in spite of our battles against fear, anger, envy and shame? He often seems too removed to be involved in our daily troubling situations. Phillips admits, \"I am preaching to myself-repeatedly-in this book." Perceiving even a small glimmer of the radiant truth of God's loving power means hope. Stories of women who were both wounded and unfailingly loved by God are potent vehicles for nurturing the hope that does not disappoint us, 'because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit' (Romans 5:5). And what an array of stories! The journeys of these remarkable women were often long and unexpected, forcing them well outside their comfort zones and into unpleasant circumstances. Many wrestled with the task of child-rearing and seemed to have limited success. All chose to surrender their own understanding and place their trust in the power of an often-mysterious God. Here's what they discovered: With God, Nothing Is Impossible. And the same is true for us today! In this inspiring book, Elaine Phillips shares life-transforming truths that will deepen your faith in the same God these women of the Bible knew and trusted.
