  The Forbidden Knowledge of the...

  Forbidden knowledge is at the core of the Book of Enoch. Its text has captured interest from 300 BCE up to the present day. Ancient people have all consulted the Book of Enoch for their magical and mystical practices. Sometimes part of religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the Book of Enoch has persisted for well over 2,000 years. Roth interprets the content of the Book of Enoch and addresses how that knowledge has been used in the past and can be useful in the present. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch shows that the Book of Enoch remains as vital, if not more so, today as it has been for centuries. 
   
   
    
  From Renaissance magic to early Christian apocalyptic texts, all the way down to today's conspiracy theories and modern magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the various approaches to the Book of Enoch has been any real attempt to find not only what is at the center of these stories but also their connections to magic. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch finds and elucidates those connections. 
   
   
    
  This new work will be useful to magic workers, mystics, those who work with angels, those interested in Jewish magic and mystical practices, and those who are simply curious to peek at apocalyptic visions.

  Essentials of Daoism -...

  This book comprises five classic works of Chinese mysticism. Culturally, these are the companion works to Confucius’ thoughts, as expanded by Mencius. Confucianism is very much the Apollonian side of Chinese culture. It focuses on matters of ethics, hierarchy, responsibility, and social obligation. Daoism is the other side of the coin, focused on abstraction and uncertainty. 
  The two translators included in this volume were very different men. While they wrote in the same period, their audiences were distinct from one another, and this comes through in their differing approaches to the original texts they are working with. One was a missionary, looking to ensure that his fellow spreaders of the word could understand as completely and correctly as possible the culture that they had come into. The other was a curator at the British Museum, who popularized the first English translations for a thoroughly domestic market.

  Having experienced the ancient spiritual practice of pilgrimage as a lifeline following tragic bereavement, Jill Baker  discovered more about being a pilgrim not only by making journeys but also by identifying and developing attitudes and perspectives which help her and others to travel well through this journey of life, with all its ups and downs, green pastures and desolate spaces.
  
   
  In this book, she encourages us to step into the pilgrim spirit and discover more about the big, wild God who constantly calls us to follow. The book dips into the biblical roots of pilgrimage and takes a cursory voyage through the history of the practice, particularly asking the question about how pilgrimage fits into a Methodist theology and culture.
  
   
  Jill Baker invites us to explore pilgrim words, such as restlessness, encounter, attentiveness, courage, liminality, to suggest ways in which seeing our lives as pilgrimage may help us to navigate through them, reflects on how the experience of and thinking about pilgrimage has affected her own ongoing journey with grief.

  Why is the world so unfair? Where is God in the midst of the brokenness? Is there anything we can do?We know that in a fallen and broken world there will always be pain and poverty, sickness and sadness. Yet as followers of Christ, we are called to bring hope and healing to those who hurt. What, then, is our responsibility to alleviate human suffering this side of eternity? With so many needs everywhere we look, where do we start? One thing is certain: Our faith does not allow us to turn away. Our response to the least of these, Jesus tells us, impacts not just those in need but also our own hearts and potentially even our salvation.The Least of These brings together a collection of respected Christian thought leaders to provide a multifaceted look at the body of Christ’s relationship and responsibility―both individual and corporate―to the marginalized of our society. Contributors include Lisa Rodriguez-Watson, David Hionides, Ben Virgo, Dennis Edwards, Brandon Washington, Jonathan Brooks, Daniel Aaron Harris, Danielle Strickland, Aubrey Sampson , and Christiana Rice.The Least of These is the third in a series of Kingdom Conversations, books that bring together trusted Christian voices to address some of the most urgent and perplexing challenges of our time in timeless and redemptive ways.

  SCIENCE QUESTIONED RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS, WAS RELIGION RIGHT ALL ALONG? 
  DOES RELIGION HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR EVOLUTION? 
  ARE OUR RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS INCOMPLETE? 
  IS UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS UNITY POSSIBLE? 
  WHAT IS RELIGIONS’ ROLE IN CLIMATE CHANGE, CONSERVATIONS ETC.? 
  DOES ALL OUR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE A RELIGIOUS BASIS? 
  “Humanity’s Inflection Point” provides positive answers and the pathway to accomplishment of all the above and reintroduces: 
  1. We all exist in the presence of the Living, Omnipresent, Omnipotent God 
  2. All knowledge comes from the Almighty God. 
  God willing, this work will serve to be the starting point for the awakening of the masses to reject the cult of personality that many religious leaders seek to create, to start the reversal of the animosities that have been fostered for thousands of years by religious leaders and be part of the process that leads to the eventual elevation of all humanity.
