Twelve years later Jesse says yes to Garrett’s proposal, convinced it’s finally her turn to have the life and love she’s always longed for, with a man who can be trusted to hold those dreams safe.

  Unencumbered - Life In Flow

  Unencumbered Life in Flow 
  In Unencumbered – Life as Flow: we embark on an experiential journey that challenges the very fabric of conventional thinking. At its core lies a profound inquiry into the nature of existence and the human experience. 
  Drawing parallels to the revolutionary insights of pioneers, the book dares to question the foundations upon which we've built our understanding of reality. It suggests that perhaps the root cause of our suffering lies not in external circumstances, but in our deeply ingrained beliefs and attachments. 
  Delving into the essence of existence, the narrative explores the notion that our relentless pursuit of external validation, self-improvement, and happiness is akin to chasing after illusions. Through insightful anecdotes and philosophical reflections, it invites readers to contemplate the possibility that true liberation lies in surrendering the relentless quest for improvement and embracing the inherent completeness within. 
  As the layers of illusion begin to unravel, a profound shift occurs. The book illuminates the path to awakening, where the perceived "madness" of the world dissolves, revealing the unchanging essence of the true Self. It posits that in resting in the awareness of this innate wholeness, every moment is imbued with a sense of fulfillment and contentment beyond measure. 
  With each turn of the page, "Unencumbered" offers a beacon of hope for those seeking liberation from the ceaseless cycle of striving. It challenges readers to reevaluate their understanding of self and reality, paving the way for a profound transformation in how they perceive and engage with the world. 
  Small hinges swing big doors!

  What can transform our church in these challenging times? What radical commitments do our church members need to make to be open to the amazing things that God wants to do through us? Is it really possible to lead a change-resistant church to healthy and substantive transformation?
  Considered the leading expert on local congregations today, Thom Rainer has been studying for decades what healthy churches do that unhealthy churches neglect. In this book, he uncovers new data in his research that many have not seen or heard.
  Thom shows how crucial, radical, heartfelt and biblical commitments of church members provide the soil for a congregation to grow and flourish like many could only dream. Five radical decisions by members supply the fuel for a community to thrive year after year under God's blessing.
  Churches that are laser focused on these commitments tend to experience a virtuous cycle of healthy church growth, while churches that allow the urgency of the moment to distract them from these commitments tend to experience decline.
  In this excellent church ministry resource, Thom:
  
  - explains how significant radical commitment is in the life of your congregation
  - paints a vision how your church can grow in healthy ways
  - introduces you to the 5 crucial commitments for members
  - highlights the vital importance of prayer
  - challenges church members to commit, or re-commit, to church community
  Your church will dream again of God's possibilities in the congregation.
  Miracles are still possible.
  You'll want to get this book into the hands-- and hearts-- of every church member in order to empower them to be who God intended them to be so that your congregation can be what God envisions it to be.

  Twelve ancient texts. One audiobook narrated by a professional voice cast.  
  These are the books that were erased from history because they revealed too much. 
  Before the biblical canon was sealed, these texts circulated freely. Church fathers quoted them. Then someone decided you weren't supposed to read them anymore. 
  Genesis gives you one line about Enoch: he walked with God, and then he was gone. These texts give you everything that happened after he disappeared. 
  What survived is a complete cosmology the standard Bible never touches — fallen angels, divine architecture and the origins of evil. 
  What you'll hear: 
  1 Enoch – Enoch's journey through the heavens, the rebellion of the Watchers, and divine judgement. 
  2 Enoch – Enoch ascends through ten heavens and returns with secrets meant for the final generation 
  3 Enoch – Rabbi Ishmael enters paradise and meets Enoch transformed into the highest angel 
  The Book of Jubilees – Creation through Moses, reframed through angelic revelation 
  The Book of Giants – What the children of fallen angels became and how they were destroyed 
  The Apocalypse of Abraham – The throne, the fall, and the future of humanity 
  The Testament of Abraham – Death arrives for Abraham 
  The Ascension of Isaiah – Isaiah passes through each heaven and witnesses what no prophet was supposed to see 
  3 Baruch – A tour through the first five heavens 
  The Life of Adam and Eve – The untold aftermath of Eden 
  The Book of Jasher – The missing chronicle the Bible assumes you already know 
  The Apocalypse of Zephaniah – The soul's journey through the afterlife

  Śūraṅgama Sūtra

  The Sura?gama Sutra, one of the most important works of Mahayana Buddhism, dates from some time before the 8th Century when the first Chinese translation was written, probably from an Indian original.  It has long been a seminal work for Buddhist practitioners in East and South-East Asia, especially China and Korea.  Indeed this “Sutra of the Indestructible”, as it is often translated, is regarded as a staple manual of practice for newly-ordained monks of the Ch’an and Zen schools, giving instruction, through the words of the Buddha himself, in the correct understanding of the Buddha-nature or ‘Tathagata-garbha’, that seed of enlightenment that lies dormant within all of us. 
   
  Taking the form of a dialogue between the Buddha and his cousin Ananda, it is based on the premise that even committed disciples can fall back into the world of sensual desire (and consequently of suffering) if their understanding and practice of the Dharma is incomplete. Rescued from the enticements of a prostitute by the Buddha, Ananda is then taught about the distinctions between the one True Mind, corresponding to absolute reality and the illusory mind or everyday reality, as manifested through our senses, reinforcing as they do our underlying attachment to the idea of a fixed self or ‘ego’. 
   
  In the Sutra, the Buddha and his followers teach Ananda the great ‘Sura?gama Samadhi’, a meditation practice that allows us to see through the falseness of deceptive, or ‘discriminative’ senses by returning each of them to their source in the ‘alaya’ or ‘store consciousness’ of our minds. 
   
  The Sutra is also concerned with the vital importance of living a truly ethical life, without which any amount of meditation will not lead to true enlightenment, as well as the dangers of spiritual complacency; the idea that we should settle on anything less than complete liberation. 
   
  This translation, by Charles Luk, an Upasaka in the Ch’an school of Buddhism, includes a number of footnotes and comments, which help to explain some of the terminology used in the text.
