Very strong deck. Similar to the Thoth deck in intensity but from a different spirituality. Older and more ritualized. There is an offering for each card in this deck. Depending upon how powerfully you feel the card related to you, I would recommend the ritual to manifest possibility to something more tangible. I have several tarot decks and this is one if the best I've found for a standard 78 card deck. It's not standard that's why.

Raw and powerful book about trusting God through His Son Jesus Christ through times that are searingly hard. Katie, a young missionary in Uganda, chronicles her struggles with God in regards to losing a child she thought was going to be her daughter, deaths of people very dear to her, and helping someone to heal after a devastating injury.  She delves deeply into the Word of God to find answers and finds that desperately wrestling and clinging to God as you cry out for answers is part of the road to healing and maturing.  Her discovery of thinking daily  on and remembering God's many blessings is also a key to healing and learning to walk on solid ground.  I am so thankful for this book.

This is an excellent book on the Holy Spirit. Many will recall Cymbalas book Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire in which he details the beginning of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church which was birthed in prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit. The results since then are a powerful testimony to how God has used Cymbala to bring many to Christ with transformed lives in the heart of Brooklyn and beyond. As in his other books, Cymbala focuses this book (and his life and ministry) on the power of prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit as revealed in Scripture.

The book is divided into three parts. In Part 1 he describes and defines the Holy Spirit and gives a beautiful story of the Spirits power in the life of one person in his congregation. Part 2 describes the movement of the Holy Spirit giving the reader clear ways to recognize and nurture the spirit. Two real life stories are also included. In Part 3 Cymbala defines what happens when we surrender to the Holy Spirit, again with two real life stories.

This is a powerful, inspiring book by a humble man of God. I will read Spirit Rising over again to help me continually surrender my own life to the Spirits leading.

This is a powerful and poignant book to read. It is very easy to read, but a hard subject to deal with. I like the way the author allows the clergyman to reveal his character through his love letters to her.  You can tell by his writings what an intelligent and seemingly God-fearing man he is/was.  That's what makes his choices so hard to accept. The lesson for me from this book is of the importance of maintaining a vibrant and intimate relationship with the Lord.  As much as we should love our husbands, we should love God more. I plan to use this book to challenge the ladies in my Bible Study to do that very thing. None of us knows what the future holds and we need to be ready to honor our Lord by the way we handle the challenges and trials that come our way. The author has done that in this book.  Thank you for showing us how God can be our strength through the pain as He heals our broken hearts.

I found myself quickly immersed in the story of a beautifully written and deeply spiritual book. The development and depth of the complexity of each character and their relationship with each other is very engaging, honest, and easy to identify with. This story is a testament to the mighty work of God in every person's life, no matter how rejected and crushed one might be. Nicely placed and impactful Scriptures are peppered throughout the book. The author takes these Scriptures and reveals insightful spiritual truths and reinforces the principles of one's faith that must be relied on to resist and overcome the dark forces of this world. Ms Pryor reminds us of how important virtue is in having a life that is overflowing with love, forgiveness and hope. This Novel wonderfully communicates how suffering and the testing of our faith gives God his greatest opportunity to pour his grace into our lives and restore us, and serves as a message of hope and encouragement. This book will help many, especially young women, who are navigating the treacherous waters of life, by showing them a clear path to restoration and victory.  This book has great spiritual merit and is an excellent read!

This album is one of the best by one of the best. It takes you into the heart of spiritual experience inspired by the practices of the people of the Himalayas. Very deep and resonant. I especially recommend the "temple of the Moon" track, "Dawa Gompa." This is powerful music that reaches into your soul. Lots of variety of different sounds on this double CD; worth the price of three or four.

I have ordered at least 11 copies of this book over the years and has giving it out to friends. This is the most spiritually profound book that forces you to think and to see God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit in a different way. A MUST BUY FOR SURE. Mr. Young (author) is a spirit lead genius. This is deeper then religion.

This is a powerful book about the last days of Christ prior to the crucifixtion; it goes thru the stations of the cross in a narrative.  The way he describes Christ is in a way that I've never read before.  Truly an important read, it is comforting and powerful.

This is a wonderful and mature spiritual read, made up of a number of talks given by Carthusians to their communities. The strength of the book lies in not only the depth of the individual chapters but in their breathe, reflecting the different characthers of the talk givers, each of whom has been touched in a unique way by their search for God. Let me give some tasters:

"Who among us has not had the experience, sometimes so terribly painful, of being heemed in - almost imprisoned - by problems of health, for example? If our hearts be honest, we can only say one thing: it is God who comes to us in such grevious afflictions. In fact, they consitute the point at which the love of God enters into our life. Our heart welcomes God to the extent that it is attentive to this reality, whihc we might tend to consider inferior to our spiritual vocation. We must beware of this untruth. Let us not pretend to be pure spirits; we can be something better - children of God" (page 82, the prayer of the heart)

To add a personal note, looking over my life, particularly recent life, I can see the truth of this - our heart, if we let it, is sensitive, precisely at those points of brokeness in our life - we can then reach out to God and from the depths of our being say: "Out of the depths I cry to you Lord" And, you know, He is there in those depths.

"Love does not consist in dominating, possessing or imposing one's will on someone. Rather love is to welcome without defences the other as he or she comes to meet me. There are no contests of strength between two people who love each other. There is a kind of mutual understanding from which a reciprocal trust emerges" (page 87)

"We cannot help but be struck by the serenity and sense of infinite security with which Jesus quietly proclaims that he has nothing of his own, and that he can do nothing but what he sees the Father doing. What man would accept such powerfulness? " (page 87) I was struck here by how this resounds with the words of Ratzinger in "Introduction to Christianity" where he talks about Christ as "being from" and "being for".

This last idea is developed further on page 175 in an exploration of the Trinity:

"The Son is such a perfect image of the Father that he is likewise incapable of keeping anything for himself. It is impossible for him to turn in on himself or to enjoy possessing anything whatsoever: as the image of an an infinite gift he is himself infinite gift, and in order to give the Father complete joy, he makes a total return to him of all that he is. To this limitless poverty of giving on the part of the Father,and to the limitless poverty of the Son's receiving this gift, corresponds the boundless poverty of transparency on the part of the Spirit. He is able neither to give nor to receive. He is simply tranpsarency and the possibility for the two persons to encounter each other fully. What the Father ansd the Son have in common is nothing of themselves, but a third Person whose being is perfect and complete in himself just as theirs is"

I was reminded on reading this of a comment made by Norris Clarke SJ where he talks about the fact that Jesus shows us that not only giving but receiving is constitutive of God.

Grace is a word that gets thrown around by people inside and outside of the church. But do we truly understand what it means when it comes to God? Grace has unspeakable power when we see it through the lens of Jesus Christ. God gives it the power to heal, transform, and ultimately save.

This book was extremely powerful in my life. I've been a Christ follower for about a decade, but I've kept grace at arm's length. This book helped me realize that I haven't fully accepted God's grace in my life; therefore I'm not good at showing grace to others in my life. Changing these aspects of my life has been humbling and freeing! The author does an amazing job of challenging the reader while not overwhelming them. The chapters are short, but full of life-changing information. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in just a few days. The author also did a wonderful job of including examples from scripture to fully reveal the biblical truths that he was conveying. I highly recommend this book for anyone searching for faith or looking to deepen their relationship with Christ.

For some reason, I had some difficulty putting this review together. Maybe it's because this story has no characters that you can like or dislike or a plot that you can pick apart. You're peeking into someone's life and this someone just happen to have been a victim of sexual abuse. Debbie Williamson's story is heart wrenching but yet carries a power message; you have to take a stand against abuse in order to break the cycle reclaim your life.

Debbie narrates the story as she takes you through the generation of abuse that engulfed the women and men in her family.  Saying that his book is emotionally charged is an understatement. The author really makes you feel the anger, confusion, sadness and relief in the same waves that she experienced them and it's unclear as to whether it's the writing that helps you to feel this way or the fact that you can empathize with Debbie and what she went through. Another compelling force in the book are the photos of Debbie's family. They really help to bring the story close to home for the readers simply because there are times when reading this book, you think to yourself  "I can't believe that this actually happened". Additionally, the title of the book is also quite fitting since Debbie's story is also a clear testimony to the notion that abuse in whatever form is cyclic and you can either sit by and have the cycle repeat itself or you can take a stand.

Aside from the obvious theme I also found spirituality being significant throughout the book. Debbie constantly makes reference to diary entries where she talks to God. She also credits her spiritual breakthrough and messages from the `other side' for helping her get through her most difficult times.

Though much of the book is heavy and raw, there is a silver lining and Debbie gets her happily ever after. The book serves as an inspiration for women who are currently in abusive relationships, giving them hope that they too can make it out and rebuild their lives.  I am definitely going to pass this on to my girlfriends.
