From Childhood To Christhood

Jocelyne Ranucci saved her own life. Fed up with abusive relationships and dead end jobs, she set out to become the architect of her own salvation. Through a careful process of study and meditation she began to realize that we are all the creators of our own destiny, that we can learn to love and accept ourselves deeply, and that we can leave the destructive patterns of the past behind, forever. Her story is touching, her transformation profound. With great candor, warmth and wit she reveals the most intimate details of her personal struggle and shows us how we can bridge the gap between spirituality and every day life. She teaches us how to unleash the great healing power that lies buried deep within us so that we too can alter our path, conquer our fears and free our spirit, allowing us to embrace the joys and the serenity of the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Extract from the Kirkus review "Jocelyne Ranucci, the author experienced a rough childhood starved of love, approval and support; her mother was highly critical and manipulative and left her to fend for herself at the age of 16. Though she remained deeply convinced of her own value, the author began to realize that she was replicating in her adult relationships the damage she had suffered as a child. In order to overcome these negative patterns, she dedicated herself to her spiritual growth. Here, she shares her journey, the universal laws and divine resources she discovered and the ways in which she was able to reinvent her outlook on life. Ranucci's insights are compelling because they demonstrate how she has concretely improved her daily life, and she offers enough guidance for readers to begin their own journeys."

THE TRUE LEADER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF TRUTHÓ THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED TO BE THE LEADER, That was the reason I sang that song: Spirit Obong uwem di da usung, Ema ewet ete eye da usung, meaning: The Spirit of the Lord of Life, come and lead, it was written that YOU will lead. This is where I AM coming to say a bit more because this SUPREME FATHERÕS TALK (GOD PRESENT) Lecture Revelation is short, but very important. THE TRUE SIGNS OF THE TRUE BELIEVERS Ð A True Believer of GOD believes the Word of GOD. GOD spoke the Word and everything accomplished. Our Lord Jesus Christ is The Word, so HE spoke the Word and everything became accomplished.

This book is a mystical portrayal of the life and work of the one known as Jesus Christ and as such belongs to an entirely different context to the many other books that have been written on this subject, which usually have a historical, Biblical or academic standpoint. We learn that the terms Jesus and Christ are not personal names, but states of consciousness in life. Jesus is the life of selfless love and Christ is the radiance which that life brings. All men and women can live the Jesus life and the Christ Life will come again within Souls who have attained that state of (embodied) consciousness.The Master fully manifested the states of Jesus, Christ and Lord consciousness. His mission was distinct and unique. To those who could hear, he spoke inner truths, often in parable and allegory, which awoke their spiritual memory. These truths were of the Soul, cosmic in their significance and greater than any ecclesiastical setting could express.As well as finding Souls who could respond to his teaching, the Master was especially constituted to bear and change the dense, unspiritual conditions of the Planet through the mysterious process known as the Sin-offering.Many familiar stories are reinterpreted here, taken out of their hitherto local and personal settings and re-presented as spiritual teaching. The Master's mission was from the Heavens, to be a pure manifestation of beautiful spiritual truth and healing motion. As such, his sayings, his actions and his whole life revealed the Divine world.

Although forgotten until quite recently, Caryll Houselander, who died in 1954, was a sensitive and profound English Roman Catholic writer on Christian spirituality. In this critical edition of her 1949 book The Passion of the Infant Christ, Houselander argues that the physical world is an "inscaped" revelation of the mind of the Creator. Every concrete object and every temporal event mirrors the eternal, just as the circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus mirror the circumstances surrounding his death and resurrection. Editor Kerry Walters discusses both Houselander's life and the primary themes of The Passion of the Infant Christ in his introduction to this critical edition of one of Houselander's most insightful books.

The Pulpit Commentary was first published between 1880 and 1919 and is a highly respected work written by conservative, trustworthy men. Containing over 22,000 pages and 95,000 entries, it is one of the largest and best-selling homiletic commentary sets of all time. It was directed by editors Joseph Exell and Henry Donald Maurice Spence-Jones and utilized more than 100 authors over a 30-year span. When reading this commentary, it is not difficult to see why it has remained a favorite amongst pastors for more than 100 years. There are three key elements which set this apart from its contemporaries, the first being that it gives an exposition or verse-by-verse annotation of each verse in the Bible. The second element is that it explores the framework of the text, the homiletics. Finally, it supplies the homilies with multiple model sermons from various authors. Also included is a translation as well as historical and geographical information. The Evangelical Magazine and Missionary Chronicle declared, “This commentary bids fair to take a conspicuous place among the ever-multiplying aids to the study of the Holy Scriptures. It will revive the great work of Lange, and will far exceed the Speaker's Commentary in the bulk and fullness of its material. The peculiarity of the Pulpit Commentary is that it offers special assistance to the preacher: first by giving him a critical and exegetical exposition of the text of Scripture, and then providing him with succinct and helpful directions as to the preachable aspects of the chapter and paragraph already explained." The print edition of this set typically retails for more than $1,000 making the current offered price a very good bargain. Due to its size, it has been broken up into nine separate volumes: Volume 1 - Genesis to Joshua Volume 2 - Judges to 2 Kings Volume 3 - 1 Chronicles to Job Volume 4 - Psalms to Song of Songs Volume 5 - Isaiah to Daniel Volume 6 - Hosea to Malachi Volume 7 - Matthew to John Volume 8 - Act to Philippians Volume 9- Colossians to Revelation The footnotes have been placed in line with the text with each footnote number enclosed in red brackets (i.e.: []) and the text in green. There is also a linked table of contents at the beginning of each volume for ease of navigation.

The ultimate guide to understanding the 114 sacred texts known as ‘The Gospel of Thomas’, revealing ancient Christian teachings and allowing for deep self-reflection and introspection. Discovered in 1945 in Egypt, but likely dating back to around 150-200AD, the Gospel of Thomas, is a collection of codices, each containing an affirmation or advice. Academic discourse has plagued the Gospel's modern existence, especially in relation to its English translation. Resultantly, a number of densely unintelligible translations have been produced, which use heavy ecclesiastical language and a biblical approach, obscuring the meaning of the text to laypeople. Now, Christine Folan provides a revolutionary approach, unpicking the Gospel's complexities, and providing a sensitive and effective way of understanding and ‘seeing’ the hidden, yet deeply profound, secrets of this ancient text. Folan's companion guide provides excerpts from the text alongside her own visceral and deep rooted interpretations, which will enlighten readers to the endless potential which can be gleaned from the Gospel. Guiding the reader with clarity and conviction, The Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas provides a way for readers to use the Gospel as a vessel for introspection, allowing them to search deep within themselves for their own unique truth and meaning. The book contains real life case studies of people whose lives have been drastically changed by the teachings of the Gospel, as well as suggested further reading for each chapter. The Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas is a manual for the practical application of spiritual principles, challenging readers not only to make sense of this ancient text in their own unique way, but also to live its message to make profound change in their day to day lives.
