  Wounds of the soul can often detour us from the path that God has purposed for us. We never put in our plan for life to experience being homeless, discover mental illness, or explore the correctional system! However, one wrong decision can take us down a deep, dark abyss that we may find difficult to climb out of. Hope takes us on her journey of ministering to wounded souls in the prison system. Throughout this book, she describes her challenges, failures, and victories in Christ Jesus. 
  Drawing on wisdom and training from the chaplaincy and pastoral care program, Hope provides a plan of action for faith-based groups, persons with a passion for social justice, and those who may have loved ones impacted by the systemic issues of incarceration, addiction, mental illness, and more. Light in dark places is developed to assist those who want to help others heal and grow in the potential God called them to be.

  Inca Astronomy and Astrology:...

  Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. Like the Aztecs, the Spanish burned much of the Inca’s extant writings, but it is estimated that as many as 35 million once fell under their banner, and the empire’s administrative skills were so sharp that they kept accurate census records. Their religion, organization, and laws were also effectively centralized and tied to the rulers of the empire, and their military mobilization would have made the ancient Spartans proud. After the Spanish conquest, several rebellions in the area attempted to reestablish the proud Inca Empire over the next two centuries, all while famous Europeans like Voltaire glorified the Inca Empire in optimistic artistic portrayals. 
  The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology. The Cusco Valley was the heart of the Inca Empire, and many of the Inca's settlements have been found to contain important astronomical elements, providing clear evidence of the importance astronomy had among the Inca.

  Near-Death Experiences are not hallucinations, nor are they the fading sparks of a dying brain. They are real, documented events that continue to challenge everything we thought we knew about life, death, and consciousness. 
  Consider this: a woman who had been blind since birth—who had never seen light, color, or even darkness—suddenly described the precise details of her husband’s appearance and the wedding ring he wore, after returning from a Near-Death Experience. For the first time in her life, she truly saw.
