The Women Who Loved Jesus - The...

Donna D'Ingillo

An astounding new claim about Jesus was first made in 1955: that he had commissioned twelve female apostles. Its source was The Urantia Book. Now, a newer source builds on that revelation, unveiling each one of the inspiring stories of these courageous women apostles. Our world is ready for the untold stories of the twelve female apostles commissioned by Jesus. The Bible mentions only a few of these women, but never refers to them as apostles. Only in 1955 was the role of these female counterparts to the male apostles revealed in The Urantia Book, a profound modern text that has gone on to sell over a million copies worldwide. This detailed new account corrects and supplements the New Testament's record for our global era. It stuns readers by explaining how Jesus’s attitude toward women was “the most astonishing and the most revolutionary feature of [his] mission on earth,” leading him to break with Hebrew tradition by appointing a women corps. Now, many decades later, we’ve been gifted with an even more expanded account of Jesus’s work with his most devoted female followers. The Women Who Loved Jesus shares inspiring new details of this long-suppressed story thanks to the eye-witness narrations provided by each of his dozen female apostles. Each woman steps forward to tell her story of how Jesus preached their spiritual equality with men, transformed their personal lives, and ordained them as a teachers and ministers of the gospel. For the first time, we see Jesus through the eyes of his most fervent women followers, and we also learn how their ministry—designed to be complemental to that of the male apostles—focused on creating a social network of healing and compassion. The task of the female apostolic corps was to create an environment for teaching and for healing at all levels through a variety of techniques Jesus personally supervised. Read this book to discover how these women laid the spiritual, energetic, and social foundation for the Christian church. Their messages to us are both universal and timely, as women all over the world are finally taking their rightful place as ministers, healers, and religious teachers.

The Night Is Normal - A Guide...

Alicia Britt Chole

It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness. 
 
 
 
And if this is you—if you're in a dark night of the soul—please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.) 
 
 
 
The night is not your enemy. In fact, the night is necessary. 
 
 
 
In The Night Is Normal, revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend. Within this book, you'll explore how: spiritual pain is actually an invitation to deep love; mistaking emotions for devotion and viewing abundance as proof of obedience create an unsustainable model for Christianity; and a strong night-faith can lead you into something far more satisfying than understanding and far more powerful than peace. 
 
 
 
Our reality is broken, but God has not changed. Whether you're disillusioned with God, yourself, or others, Alicia offers practical and soul-full tools to help you navigate the night and find your way to a livable and love-saturated hope.

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother.  
 
The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

Science Being & Becoming - The...

Ph.D. Paul J. Mills, Ken Wilber,...

2023 Winner of the Gold Nautilus Book Award! 
 
 
 
Spirituality is the Final Frontier for Science 
 
 
 
Contrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming shares interviews with some of the world's foremost scientists who recount their own transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences and how those experiences transformed them and their scientific work. 
 
 
 
This groundbreaking book makes it evident that the long-standing divide between science and spirituality has not served us well and in fact continues to have significant adverse consequences for us all. Fortunately, many scientists no longer recognize that divide and are helping science to now fulfill its intended promise to discover and understand all of life, including our deep spiritual nature. The stories in this book help us understand that the spiritual is the final frontier for science. 
 
 
 
The book also contains special bonus Spotlight sections written by Drs. Eben Alexander, Robert Atkinson, Dusana Dorjee, and Kyriacos C. Markides.
