Based on a true story, Jerusalem Diary: Searching for the Tomb and House of Jesus is an adventurous journey of intrigue and discovery in the Holy Land. After finishing her PhD, Joanna joins two Australian men who claim to discover new sites that could be Jesus home in Nazareth and his tomb in Jerusalem. As they travel through Israel, Joanna challenges conventional ideas about the life of Jesus. Relying on Gnostic Gospels, Joanna deconstructs the dogmatic images of suffering Christ and creates an alternative picture of Yeshua (Jesus) as a young, rebellious, inspiring teacher. Recent Reviews: This engaging book has everything the passionate-thinking person desires: intensity, intrigue, controversy. Thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking. A book for all seekers. Mark Manolopoulos, adjunct research associate, Monash University Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology, and author of If Creation Is a Gift. In Jerusalem Diary, Joanna affectionately traces the life of the human side of Jesus. She beautifully weaves her own spiritual quest for truth in this well-researched, deeply passionate journey, accounting for typical historical gaps in the life and teachings of the Great Soul. The outcome is a refreshing and unusual tale in which Joanna elegantly contrasts and reconciles the Christ on the Cross of the Church with Yeshua, the revered realised Master of the East. A must-read for every sincere seeker of the Self. Karthyeni Purushothaman, lecturer in business management, Monash University

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Some people have beautiful, fulfilling relationships with other people and do not realize they can have a beautiful, fulfilling relationship with God, too. That was me. This book explores "Who is God" and "What is my relationship with Him?"I remember attending church with my grandparents at age three. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at age eight but it was many years before I knew I could have a beautiful connection with God. After finding a church with a teaching Pastor and learning more, I decided I wanted to have a better relationship with God. Why? Because something was missing in my life. I learned a basic knowledge of God and Jesus but I didn't know about connecting to God's Heart. I hope you will see the difference.I have made several discoveries in the past seven years. I discovered that there is a difference between just knowing God and connecting and having a real relationship with Him that gives my life meaning. I have discovered that there are many others like me. That is why I wrote this book. While I was acquainted with Jesus and knew He died for everyone, I did not know I could have a personal relationship with God. Somehow I missed the message that God is Three In One: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. By accident I found a place for God and me to meet, my morning walk on Bridle Path Drive, which is near my home. I have discovered that there is much JOY every morning when I thank God for everything and pray for people. I know that I need to do God's will. I discovered that I love to write. By writing this book, I can share my experiences with people I do not know and can share my journey. The title of this book tells what I discovered. Hopefully, Finding My Way ... To God's Heart will touch someone.

How much time is enough to be with God? While it could be the 40 days or years used so often in the Bible, it’s also possible that simply stealing a few minutes from the busy-ness of each day is enough time to be in Kairos, “God time.” The same is true for the space needed to find God. Whether it be in a deserted place or one filled with activity, whatever space we can carve out to find God—or to make enough room to be found—is enough space. This book is about being with God in short time and tight spaces. The journey is taken through and with the Bible, 40 reflections based on 40 passages from Scripture, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation. For the prayerful reader, it is an opportunity to carve out God-space and God-time, a pilgrimage with God, toward God.
