Breaking The Veil Of Silence

The Veil of Silence concerns you more than you think! You come across it at every turn, whether in your personal life, in your family, in your church or congregation, or in your cities and nations. The Veil of Silence is the reason for inner coldness, loneliness, and the sense of being lost in darkness. Once you break it, you will be able to receive the immeasurable blessing of God and the authority to change your surroundings with His love. Every nation carries its own burden of guilt and trauma that is passed down through the generations, while a Veil of Silence prevents reconciliation, healing, and restoration. The German pastor, theologian, and activist, Jobst Bittner, writes in the light of the experience of German history. Hitler and the Holocaust caused a spiritual eclipse in Germany and covered entire generations with a Veil of Silence. Today, Germany is blessed and the country of "unmerited grace". If Breaking the Veil of Silence was possible in Germany, how much more so in your life, family, and nation? Through a captivating blend of history, theology, and psychology, Jobst Bittner provides a brave, discerning perspective on this Veil of Silence and proves that the weight of history can be lifted. It is a powerful and practical intervention and spiritual guide to reclaim our authority by uprooting all destructive tendencies of covering up the past, uncovering our own family history, rediscovering the Jewish roots of our faith, and moving forward into action. Once the veil is lifted, true healing, restoration, and change can begin.

Mark Twain said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you found out why." Why were YOU born? What is YOUR God Designed Destiny? Romans 8:19 states, "For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing (unveiling) of the (mature) sons of God." It's time for believers to know who they are and Whose they are! It's time for God's sons and daughters to step into their place of maturity, be unveiled, and steward the inheritance God longs to give them on this earth. This book contains 15 stories of ones who have broken through their Veil of Silence and are now walking out their Designed Destiny as Father God's mature sons and daughters. Each story will inspire you to maturity as His son or daughter. They also contain a prayer and/or declaration to you, the reader, that will encourage you to break through the veil of shame, guilt, embarrassment, generational curses, etc. that have kept you silent far too long!

Unveiling the Veil, Breaking the Silence speaks to all. It does not have a name or a color; it does not care if you are rich or poor, male or female. It addresses everyone in every walk of life. It speaks to the heart, mind, and soul to help you reevaluate your life and the life of your loved ones. Domestic violence has no respect of a person and the fact that it has infiltrated our churches says so much to humanity as a whole. Please take this journey with me to break the silence!

This book is written for you and for all! When you feel a sudden chill go up your spine or feel tingles on your head, that is your intuitive guidance kicking in and reminding you to listen and pay attention. There are meanings in the poems for each and every one of you. They did not come from the mind of Brian, but they came intuitively from across the veil to help us and to give us hope and meaning to life. The book is twofold: (1) it serves as a reminder that you are not alone, and the spirit is real; and (2) it serves as a reminder that you are a perpetual immortal soula soul that will leave the physical body behind one day and cross over into a sea of love so intense it can only be referred to as concentrated love.

In 1941 the precursor to the OSS and the CIA combined with British SAS to produce an elite fighting force whose mission it was to carry out subversive activities against the fascist regimes of Europe, actions that continue to resonate in the world today. These activities play a very important role in Piercing the Veil. A warrior with the intellectual agility of a Delphic oracle, Lieutenant Commander Grant Chisolm leads his exceptionally highly-trained, well-equipped team of SEALs into the heart of darkness. His highly secretive mission is to rescue hostages taken by the charismatic and cunning leader of a major insurgency in sub-Saharan Africa. He is forced to confront the irrationality of malevolent genius, bureaucratic quackery posing as government, and the link between a mans past indiscretions and present death and destruction. As he becomes more deeply involved in this extremely dangerous mission, he discovers that his own life is a mirror of ancestral ambitions that reveal themselves through an unexpected discovery for which nothing could have fully prepared him. The historical implications of his discoveries are truly breathtaking. His warrior quest is the stuff of legend and the crucible is bequeathed by mythical figures only to those who are worthy. Chisolm learns firsthand that not only the sins, but also the blessings, of his family must be borne to discover the true purpose of his life.

In Black Suffering, James Henry Harris explores the nexus of injustices, privations, and pains that contribute to the daily suffering seen and felt in the lives of Black folks. This suffering is so normalized in American life that it often goes unnoticed, unseen, and even--more often--purposely ignored. The reality of Black suffering is both omnipresent and complicated--both a reaction to and a result of the reality of white supremacy, its psychological and historical legacy, and its many insidious and fractured expressions within contemporary culture. Because Black suffering is so wholly disregarded, it must be named, discussed, and analyzed. Black Suffering articulates suffering as an everyday reality of Black life. Harris names suffering's many manifestations, both in history and in the present moment, and provides a unique portrait of the ways Black suffering has been understood by others. Drawing on decades of personal experience as a pastor, theologian, and educator, Harris gives voice to suffering's practical impact on church leaders as they seek to forge a path forward to address this huge and troubling issue. Black Suffering is both a mixtape and a call to consciousness, a work that identifies Black suffering, shines a light on the insidious normalization of the phenomenon, and begins a larger conversation about correcting the historical weight of suffering carried by Black people. The book combines elements of memoir, philosophy, historical analysis, literary criticism, sermonic discourse, and even creative nonfiction to present a "remix" of the suffering experienced daily by Black people.
