Wisdom Hidden In A Mystery A Love Story

The author reveals who the woman of Revelation is--a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; And she being with child cried travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered --and what she is doing in heaven.

Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor. Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words. Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight.

In this devoutly Christian book, Bertha L. Hicks-Drake tells the story of a woman who has been overlooked in the Bible. Described in Revelation 12 as appearing in heaven with a male child, this woman is no longer the enigma that has endured for hundreds of years. The woman's identity and standing in the Bible completes the story of Jesus Christ. Through the woman's narrative, highlighted in Wisdom Hidden in a Mystery, we learn how and why Jesus was chosen as the one to be the Son of God. The book reveals Jesus' identity before He was given this assignment and describes the beginning of the relationship that Jesus had with God. Deeply spiritual and powerfully moving, Wisdom Hidden in a Mystery will inform and strengthen the reader's faith.

This book is about the female person called Wisdom. The same Wisdom found mainly in the book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible. By the time you come to the end of this book, you will be fully able to understand how we in all of Christiandom have left out this most important person, and how we need to go back and see who she really is. When you read the book of Proverbs in the past, what did you think as you read about Wisdom? Did you think that she was someone real and alive, or did you think that she was someone mentioned in the Bible in order to give us good advice. Well, this book tells the real love story of God, and identifies who Wisdom really is, what she all did for us, why she was hidden in a mystery, and so much more. She is a female person that the Christian world can no longer afford to overlook as if she is just a mind set, or a way of thinking. The scripture says, "Happy is the man that findeth Wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain there of than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days are in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retaineth her". Proverbs 3:13-18. This book is a must read, especially for those who still do not believe that the Holy Bible was written by the divine inspiration of God.

This book investigates the problem of esoteric traditions in early Christianity, their origin and their transformation in Patristic hermeneutics, in the West as well as in the East. It argues that these traditions eventually formed the basis of nascent Christian mysticism in Late Antiquity. These esoteric traditions do not reflect the influence of Greek Mystery religions, as has often been claimed, but rather seem to stem from the Jewish background of Christianity. They were adopted by various Gnostic teachings, a fact which helps explaining their eventual disappearance from Patristic literature. The eleven chapters study each a different aspect of the problem, including the questions of Gnostic and Manichaean esotericism. This book will be of interest to all students of religious history in Late Antiquity. Revised and extended paperback edition. Originally published in 1996. Please click here for details.

She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug.

We are swiftly moving into the final days of the end-time and it is alarming to hear people referring to our great nation as "A New Religious America." Patrick Henry stated, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation of America was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This motto was adopted due to the fact that Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation. ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS, you are important, and your voice needs to be heard NOW in a world that has plunged into the dark night of sin. The Christian that wants to learn more with clarity and accuracy what the Bible says concerning the churches responsibility in the last days on Planet Earth and the Second Coming of Christ will appreciate this book. Dr. Ralph J. McIntyre, is a World War Two combat veteran who has witnessed first-hand some of the sacrifice that has been paid in protecting and preserving our great Christian nation, America.

After a period of studies he was ordained into the ministry. He has founded two different churches, served on the district board of his organization eight years as presbyter, and one year as secretary/treasurer.

Ralph and Frances have two grown children, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
