Summary

When the Lord summoned Jeremiah, He revealed to him that He had placed him in charge of kingdoms and nations, and that his ministry would be divided into stages. He'd go after what he wanted, take it down, smash it, and throw it down. For far too long, many Christians have been pulling down and rooting out. Now, just as the Lord commanded Jeremiah to build and plant, it's time for us to do the same.
 
It can be more difficult to build for the future and sow for growth than it is to pull down and root out.
 
Jeremiah's mind and emotions could not comprehend the extent of God's grace as God extended the summons. He even tried to explain to God why he wouldn't be able to perform what he was being asked to do. We have a habit of doing the same thing over and over again.
 
When God urges us to move forward into a new realm that we are unfamiliar with, we try to persuade Him that He has no idea what He is doing. We explain to Him why we shouldn't move when He tells us it's time to leave our comfort zone.
 
God is merciful in that He does not always listen to us when we disagree with His plans. "Don't tell Me you're too young, not mature enough to do what I'm asking you to do," He informed Jeremiah in so many words (see 1:7). By faith, we accept God's invitation.

    As the walls of the house at Predicament Avenue reveal their hidden truths, two women--generations apart--discover that fear and foreboding are no respecters of time. 
 
In 1910, Effie James is committed to doing anything to save her younger sister, who witnessed a shocking murder, leaving her mute and in danger of the killer's retribution. Effie must prove what her sister saw, but when a British gentleman arrives, he disrupts Effie's quest with his attempts to locate his wife, Isabelle Addington, who was last seen at the supposed crime scene in the abandoned house at 322 Predicament Avenue. Just as Effie discovers what she seeks, she finds that the blood staining the walls will forever link her to a scandal she couldn't imagine, and to a woman whose secrets promise to curse any who would expose them. 
 
A century later, Norah Richman grapples with social anxiety and grief as she runs her late great-aunt's bed-and-breakfast on Predicament Avenue. But Norah has little affection for the house and is committed only to carrying out her murdered sister's dreams until crime historian and podcaster Sebastian Blaine arrives to investigate the ghostly legacy of the house's claim to fame--the murder of Isabelle Addington. When a guest is found dead, the incident is linked to Isabelle's murder, and Norah and Sebastian must work together to uncover the century-old curse that has wrapped 322 Predicament Avenue in its clutches and threatens far more than death.

 What if the “supernatural” wasn’t fantasy, but a missing chapter of human evolution? This powerful summary of Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind explores the shocking idea that our ancestors may have encountered non-human intelligences in altered states—visions that shaped our art, our myths, and even our minds. 
Through a fast-paced journey across prehistoric caves, shamanic rituals, DMT realms, fairy lore, and modern UFO stories, this audiobook connects dots that science usually keeps separate. You’ll discover how ancient visions mirror modern experiences, why our default state of consciousness might be only one narrow channel, and how opening your perception can fuel creativity, courage, and deeper purpose in daily life.
