The Seeds Of Heaven

This inspirational collection of sermons by the renowned preacher, author, and speaker is based on the Gospel of Matthew.

Previously unpublished in the UK, The Seeds of Heaven originated as a series of radio broadcasts reflecting on stories and events from Matthew’s Gospel. In the skilled hands of Barbara Brown Taylor these each become stories of our own time, resonating deeply with the hopes, fears and questions of contemporary readers as she finds and then brings to life timeless truth in the words and on the pages of the Bible. However much the pressing questions of our shared, public life change, here is an attempt to speak the truth of the Christian faith in a way that honours both the holiness of scripture and the holiness of people’s real lives here on earth. These timeless stories of seeds, weeds, doubt, risk, family fights, shame and glory will speak deeply to many readers and enable them to discover God’s truth in their own lives.

Reflecting on Matthew's Gospel, renowned preacher Barbara Brown Taylor takes timeless stories of seeds, weeds, doubt, risk, fights, shame and glory and explores how they resonate with contemporary readers, enabling them to discover God's truth in their own lives.

This slender volume contains twelve of her sermons based on the Gospel of Matthew that were first heard on the radio during the Episcopal Series of the Protestant Hour. As you read them, you will walk with the preacher into ""the spacious land of God's abiding presence with us all."""

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... This is the Akashic Record account of the last days of Atlantis. The story of the Solar System's Third Progenitor, from the Constellation Boote, in the Star System Arcturus. She, a Master Being motivated only by love and compassion for all life, dedicates herself tirelessly and relentlessly to guiding evolving animal life forms tenuously on the razors edge between Man and Ape, on the planet known to The Intergalatic Federation of Sovereign Planets as Gaia. The planet we know as Earth. Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. The Arctureans emotional needs cause them to throw aside prohibitions against fraternizing with their creations and intermarry the genetically enhanced Gaians of Atlantis, producing progeny of high spiritual potential. There is a dark side to the laison between the gods and the daughters of men. Dark animal drives, predatory instincts, lust, greed and cruelty fail to breed out and become supercharged evil thanks to the genes of the gods. Hister is born a prodigy of malevolent evil. He leads Children of Darkness and usurps power in Atlantis. Subverting the awesome nurturing power of The Crystal, Hister turns it into an engine of destruction for World domination. It backfires Hister succeeds in destroying his enemies but in the process destroys himself, Atlantis and World civilization. Seraphis, while rushing on his Flying Platen to the Crystal City in an attempt to prevent Hister from destroying the world... is too late... the Anti-gravity network fails and Seraphis falls 10,000 feet out of the sky to his death. Or did he...DIE? He stands by an eviscerated mass of human flesh and knows it is HIS body! What happened? What does he do now?

The book, Planting Spiritual Seeds and Uprooting Spiritual Trees: A to Z Prayer Points, is an inspirational spiritual book of prayer. This is a book that compares physical seeds with spiritual seeds, with the aim to enlighten the eyes of understanding of readers that nothing happens by chance. What you sow, you reap—both in the physical and in the spiritual. If you sow good seeds, you reap good harvest. Conversely, if you sow bad seeds, you reap bad harvest. Therefore, consciousness of the nature of seeds one sows and receives is very important because life and death are in the power of the tongue. Furthermore, the book teaches us to uproot what we do not want and establish what we want in our lives through prayers.
