One The Present Truth: Spirit Matrix


Book Description

1. The phenomenon "One: the Present Truth-Spirit Matrix" is claimed to be the Holy Spirit's dossier. It is an ethereal tsunami that challenges what was once Christian reasoning. Another realm becomes articulated. It is a behind-the-scenes of man's salvation, the covert missions, light challenging darkness's cunning. This viewpoint is of an alternate stratus, a colossal exposure from a spirit messenger's influence, the writings principle, a "no holds barred" approach. 2. One-spirit matrix addresses most all the spirit answers I've ever doubted. As a Christian, this is now the most important book that I own other than my dusted-off Bible. It explains so many biblical enigmas; it is a miracle that so much is covered. After years of not buying into religious illogic, I quit hopping churches. I was accused of backsliding. This book revived my interest and trust in God and the Bible again. It does not confuse incidents. It actually reveals deceptions being promulgated. I again am a professing Christian. The matrix mainly applies logic and reason. 3.As a seminarian, I find this work most intriguing; thing is, I believe most all of it. There is more sense made here than in my "take it by faith" studies. All my secret doubts have vaporized. I would love to learn more; I've basked in rereading this dossier several times. I have it highlighted like my Bible. It demands your complete consideration. This clarifies meanings of so many events. It is as though a veil has been rent in two. I now see Jesus in everything. There is no more a quest for meaning; it all makes sense now. The bullets on the back cover a fraction. There is so much more deciphered. 4. I am a PK, after having read this dossier; I lay awake rethinking my life's conditioned beliefs. I'm perturbed actually; there is no reason our institutions couldn't have discovered these realities. I now realize that I am a royal priest in training. Reality has landed, I am already seeing changes on so many levels. The Bible is now a grand cinema wherein I see and understand God's master plan with Paul's clarity. The spirit wars revealed are too mammoth to have been missed by possibly every denomination. We have been blinded. Either these truths have been recklessly missed, or we are being misled intentionally, which I now suspect the latter. 5. "The present truth" exposes deep mysteries of covert missions given to both Adams. They both died for their bride's sake; they truly had parallel missions. The reader is privileged to have an eagle's view of the Bible from a spirit's vantage point. This spirit's reveal is unlike any other than the Bible. The reader is suddenly swept into a spirit dimension where men are pieces in a chess-type match. This alternate reality reveals men being manipulated by darkness's "interference." You become initiated into a matrix knowledge zone. Had our ministers taught us these truths, I believe the planet would be different.




Escaping the Matrix


Book Description

In some way or another most of us are "stuck"-in a secret sin we can't control or maybe by an inability to stand up for ourselves. In Escaping the Matrix, authors Gregory A. Boyd and Al Larson use the vehicle of The Matrix film trilogy to argue that our struggles with habitual sin, thought patterns, damaged emotions, and phobias happen because we do not know how to take charge of the way we experience reality. The authors draw on biblical and psychological insights to provide practical resources for helping believers escape the matrix of the world system that ensnares them. While this book is aimed at the newest generation of Christian readers, all ages will be inspired by the book's innovative strategies for experiencing a deeper life in Christ.

But These Are Written . . .


Book Description

Johannine Literature offers some of the most beautiful, majestic, and profound theology contained within the entire biblical text. Within its works can be found the highest Christology, the capstone of eschatology, and the heartbreaking struggles of a community committed to Christ. However, it does not always get the attention it deserves in New Testament studies. This book seeks to remedy that by drawing together some of the most respected biblical scholars to bring their expertise to bear on various aspects of Johannine studies that are contained within the Gospel, Epistles, and the Apocalypse. These contributions have been collected as a Festschrift in honor and celebration of the career of Benny C. Aker, a preeminent scholar, teacher, and mentor.







Surprised by Faith


Book Description

Surprised by Faith celebrates the 75th anniversary of C. S. Lewis “kicking and screaming” his way into Christianity—his 1931 conversion. Lewis described himself as, “the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." But a convert, nonetheless, surprised by joy. This volume was inspired by Lewis’s autobiographical account of the life-events which led to his coming to faith—an event that had a profound effect on his work and his relationships. In Surprised by Faith, Lewis’s conversion is explored as both “a rational quest for truth and a romantic quest for meaning.” This collection of essays commemorates Lewis’s conversion, but also celebrates, examines and discusses what conversion means to us as scholars, academicians, and most importantly, as human beings. It’s a kind of conversation about conversion. The conversation’s participants are individuals from a variety of backgrounds who themselves have been converted in the classic Christian sense. Surprised by Faith hopefully will challenge the reader to think more deeply, biblically and theologically about the transformation that takes place in each life that embraces Christ and moves from unbelief to belief. The essays look at the influence of conversion on perspectives as they relate to various disciplines, such as anthropology, poetry, psychology, education, philosophy and culture.




Our Life Is Love


Book Description

Our Life is Love describes the transformational spiritual journey of the first Quakers, who turned to the Light of Christ within and allowed it to be their guide. Many Friends today use different language, but are still called to make the same journey. In our time people seeking deeper access to the profound teachings of Christianity want more than just beliefs, they want direct experience. Focusing on ten elements of the spiritual journey, this book is a guide to a Spirit-filled life that affects this world. Quakers in the seventeenth century and today provide examples of people and communities living in the midst of the world whose radical understanding of Christ's teachings led them to become powerful agents of social change. The book offers a simple, clear explanation of the spiritual journey that is suitable not only for Quakers, but for all Christians, and for seekers wanting to better understand our spiritual experience and the fullness of God's call to us. The book would make an excellent focus for study groups. Marcelle Martin has led workshops at retreat centers and Quaker meetings across the United States. She served for four years as the resident Quaker Studies teacher at Pendle Hill and was a core teacher in the School of the Spirit program, The Way of Ministry. She is the author of the Pendle Hill pamphlets Invitation to a Deeper Communion and Holding One Another in the Light. In 2013 she was the Mullen Writing Fellow at Earlham School of Religion while working on this book.
