Finding the Kingdom Within


Book Description

With his popular first book, "Seek ye First the Kingdom..." Brian Longhurst opened the door for us to acceptance of the reality and accessibility of the eternity that is Heaven, the Loving and benign care, guidance and protection that is freely available to us all--here and now--from There. Now, Finding the Kingdom Within: Awakening to Eternity takes us deeper into Its ever-present Joy, Peace and Love, sharing and showing the ease with which we can be restored to awareness--remembrance and experience--of the Truth of our eternal, limitless, radiant Being: The God-Self within. The author is a profoundly uplifting teacher and illuminary who has an enduring personal relationship with Jesus. He is an avid student of A Course in Miracles and shares his own "Messages of Encouragement" and "Diary of a Christ Communicant" within the book. Language: British English




Insurgence


Book Description

Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

Eternal Life and A Course in Miracles


Book Description

The acclaimed author and spiritual teacher explores the concept of eternal life through the teachings of A Course in Miracles. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God.—A Course in Miracles W-49.4:5 There is no bigger mystery, nothing more compelling than the desire to know about “life after life.” Jon Mundy, the respected longtime teacher and interpreter of A Course in Miracles, now investigates that enigma, using insights from the Course on mortality, death, and the afterlife. Mundy discusses facing death and learning to let go, the ephemeral nature of the physical body and the eternal reality of the mind, and the reawakening of our Spirit as the one, true home. It’s a book filled with hope—and a way to alleviate our fear of death.
