Play Again


Book Description

We're constantly being given reminders that God is with us every step of the way. Your Father loves being involved in the details of your life, and every new day is His way of reaching out to show you He's in every breathtaking sunrise. And the first light of each day can serve as a reminder of how close He is to us. He is with you in every laugh you share with friends, every hug you give a family member, every "I love you" that you choose to speak, every changed diaper, every song you sing along to with your car windows down, and every late night that you gaze at the stars shining down on you." There's a subtle art in allowing ourselves to be loved, but God's love comes without effort. His love is natural, and it's for every single one of us. In every season, our Father loves us more than we could ever imagine. Dare to allow yourself to be wrapped in the center of His love right where He intended for you to be.




Glimpsing Heaven


Book Description

The author, Martin A. Lopez, (self), is a late-in-life father who wondrously transformed when his children arrived in his life. He changed from a compassionless pawn of the polluters, oblivious consumer, part of the throw-away culture, suffering from severe nature-disconnect, and blind to the environmental devastation happening to humanity. Through his children, he became filled with a mountainous emotional connection with them, and ultimately, to humanity and nature. At the same time, he became inspired to take action to fight for nature. This journey of metamorphosis includes poems, personal essays about nature and an analysis about solutions. He candidly identifies the villains and ‘saints’ destroying our children’s future and gives us a moral and a scientific perspective. He provides a poetic approach for our teachers to educate about the environmental disaster. He further provides an understandable approach to saving our planet. Glimpsing Heaven is an inspired father’s unique portrait of parenthood, eye-opening love, and the world’s environmental challenges.




Book 9. «The Word of Transfiguration»


Book Description

Holy Mother of God, save us! - This is what the prayer to the Blessed Virgin asks for. But the same people disbelieve and slander, avoid and remain indifferent when the Living Virgin herself speaks to them and tells them about the ways of their salvation. "Hypocrites," says the Queen of Heaven to them, "get to know what Heaven looks like, and why do you not know the signs of the times? Prepare yourselves, people, as truly the day and hour of the Judgment of this world has already come.» In August Our Lady transmitted the first part of Her "WORD" through Oris, and on January 13 and 19, 1999, through the same channel She transmitted the next two parts and commanded to compose from Her "Word" a supranational "Gospel of Transfiguration", which was published as a separate book "The Gospel of Transfiguration by the Mother of God" (see below).
