  Is darkness synonymous with ignorance and evil? Or is it the original matrix from which all life emerges, and the Mother to whom it returns? Higher and higher levels of artificial illumination have suppressed our contact with the numinous since the Industrial Revolution, with dire consequences for society, our planetary ecology, and our souls. This mystical testament weaves together paleobiology, memoir, history, science, and spiritual archaeology to lead readers back into the lost mysteries of the dark. Not since The Teachings of Don Juan or Ishmael has a book diagnosed with such urgency and cultural coherence the problems at the heart of modern life. 
   
   
   
  In Waking Up to the Dark, Clark Strand offers penetrating insight into the spiritual enrichment that can be found when we pull the plug on our billion-watt culture. He argues that the insomnia so many of us experience as "the Hour of the Wolf" is really "the Hour of God"—a wellspring of rest and renewal, and an ancient reservoir of ancestral wisdom and inspiration. And in a powerful yet surprising turn, he shares with us an urgent message for the world, received through a mysterious young woman he calls Our Lady of Climate Change (aka THE VIRGIN MARY), about the challenges we all know are coming.

  "What Rama says once he carries out; there is no looking back.” Rama to Kaikeyi “Only the timid and the weak leave things to destiny but the strong never bank on destiny or luck.” Lakshmana to RamaThe epic poem, by Maharishi Valmiki Muni, narrates the life of Lord Rama, a legendary prince of Ayodhya city in the kingdom of Kosala. The epic follows his fourteen-year exile to the forest urged by his father King Dasharatha, on the request of Rama's stepmother Kaikeyi. He traveled across forests in the Indian subcontinent with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. Rama endured the kidnapping of Sita by Ravana – the demon king of Lanka, which resulted in a great war; and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king amidst jubilation and celebration. The Ramayana is one of the ancient epics in world literature consisting of nearly 24,000 verses. It is considered to be the Adi-kavya (first poem) depicting the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, ideal servant, ideal brother, ideal husband and ideal king. The Ramayana was an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Vedic life and culture. There are many versions of Ramayana in Indian languages, besides Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain adaptations. There are also Cambodian (Reamker), Indonesian, Filipino, Thai (Ramakien), Lao, Burmese and Malay versions of the iconic tale.

  "We can't compete with the megachurch in our town!" 
   
   
   
  "A new church was started two blocks from us. We've got plenty of churches without them!" 
   
    
   
  "We can't reach young families. They all go to the big church that has all the children's and student stuff." 
   
   
   
  "We don't have the money or the people the other churches have." 
   
   
    
  Bestselling author Thom S. Rainer (I Am a Church Member, Autopsy of a Deceased Church) has heard comments like these hundreds, if not thousands, of times. They are statements of hopelessness. They are statements of despair. They are statements of defeat. Church leaders don't want to feel this way. They desire to break out of the mediocrity of the same, lame, and tame existence of their churches. They want their churches to make a difference. 
   
   
    
  There is hope. God's hope. God's possibilities. 
   
   
   
  What does a scrappy church look like? Let's take a look together.

  Uncircumcised Gentiles

  Uncircumcised Gentiles is about identifying who gentiles are in the Bible and today and what it means to be uncircumcised in your heart and mind, not in the flesh. One of the biggest misunderstandings about gentiles in the Bible is that everyone that is not a blood related Israelite is a gentile, which is partially correct. My research goes back to the beginning of the Bible to search for answers to some of the most sought out questions from Christians and biblical scholars concerning who gentiles are and their role in the kingdom of heaven. Who created the Bible? Is it a “Christian” book? did God choose one nation of people to interact with? why did God only give laws, statues, and commandments to Israelites? why did he choose Israel to be his holy people? why is there no records of God giving prophesy to gentile nations? Why did God dislike gentiles, yet still wanted Israel to bring his message to them? all these questions and more will be addressed in this book and hopefully give the reader a better understanding of the Bible why God gave us instructions, laws, and commandments for all men to live by. If we followed these laws and commandments, will it make us better people?
