Sinopse

Cosmic Deities explores how ancient cultures used mythology and religious beliefs to understand the cosmos, examining the fascinating intersection of celestial deities, creation myths, and early cosmological models. It reveals how civilizations worldwide, from ancient Mesopotamia to the Americas, personified stars, planets, and cosmic forces, attributing divine roles to them. 

 
These myths weren't just stories; they were early attempts to explain the universe, reflecting observations and cultural values. For example, a culture's understanding of planetary movements might be encoded in the actions of its planetary deities. 

 
The book delves into the attributes of stellar and planetary deities, analyzing creation myths and how societies mapped the heavens. Each chapter builds upon the last, first introducing fundamental concepts and then exploring thematic elements like the significance of constellations and cosmic geography. 

 
By integrating mythological analysis with historical and scientific contexts, Cosmic Deities offers a unique perspective on the origins of human curiosity about the universe and how early civilizations used available knowledge to make sense of it all.

    "All of Grace" was written by Charles Spurgeon and has been dearly loved and embraced by generations since its first release in 1885. More importantly, God has used this book to draw tens of thousands of people to embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
    Spurgeon's "All of Grace" was his attempt at writing a small and accessible book engaging unbelievers with the claims of Jesus. This book you now hold is a humble attempt to give Spurgeon's original work a new lease on life. This revision is not an attempt to improve Spurgeon's airtight logic, his incisive argumentation, or the flow of his thought. This revision attempts to modernize some of the antiquated language and sentence structure. It is more than just a gospel presentation; it has biblical wisdom and encouragement for all believers. Because of its significant impact, this book deserves a fresh lease on life and demands to be thrust back into widespread circulation. This revision is a humble attempt to realize that goal.

    The Life of Saint Joseph as Seen...

    Saint Joseph stands close to Jesus and Mary at the heart of the gospel story. Yet he remains largely in the background, silent and steady. Not surprisingly, Christians throughout the ages have pondered deeply this mystery that is Joseph. 
    Many have speculated about the unknown details of his life, and several mystics were granted visions that portrayed the hidden days—both the ordinary and the extraordinary—of Our Lord’s appointed guardian vividly and profoundly. The Life of Saint Joseph as Seen by the Mystics weaves together into a single narrative numerous episodes from five such visionaries: Saint Bridget of Sweden, Servant of God Marina de Escobar, Venerable Mary of Ágreda, Venerable Maria Cecilia Baij, and Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. 
    The Church insists that such private revelations cannot be viewed as another Gospel, nor even as accurate historical accounts or theological treatises. Instead, they provide a kind of sacred drama, full of spiritual insight and devotional power. In this fascinating story—which reads more like a novel than a history book—you’ll journey alongside Saint Joseph as he:Matures from childhood to manhood in preparation for his unique missionResponds with courage and wisdom to the startling revelations he receives in dreamsProtects and cares for his Family during their journey to Bethehem and their sojourn in EgyptLabors daily to provide for his household during the “hidden years” in NazarethSuffers heroically in his final years, dying peacefully in the arms of Jesus and Mary 
    This work serves as a companion to The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics, compiled by Raphael Brown (TAN Books, 1991). Together, these titles offer a compelling vision of the Holy Family that can deepen and transform your devotion to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

    "Ema, give me your hand." These were the words Jesus spoke to Ema on Christmas Eve--the night He straightened her crooked foot, hand, neck, and spine, and restored her mobility. 
    Easter weekend, eighteen years earlier, an ordinary workday turned into a nightmare when Ema McKinley passed out and was left hanging upside down in the storage room. 
    Rather than improving, Ema's body became progressively bent and disfigured. Doctors diagnosed Ema with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), an extremely painful trauma-induced disease which led to Ema's hand and foot deformities, painful sores, insomnia, gastrological distress, curvature of the neck and spine, heart and lung failure, and permanent confinement to a wheelchair. 
    Once an athletic, powerhouse woman with multiple jobs and volunteer positions, Ema became a modern-day Job who lost everything except her faith and desire to trust God more fully. Ema wrestled with pain, anger, and unforgiveness, but now takes the reader on a healing miracle encounter of Biblical proportions. 
    Rush of Heaven will ignite readers' passion for Jesus and help them walk hand-in-hand with Him through life's darkness. It will open hearts to embrace the impossible. 
    "Jesus gave me this miracle for you too!" -- Ema McKinley

    Is it our biological destiny to seek the divine? Is faith in a higher power a survival trait? On God and the Brain, Dr. Andrew Newberg presents intriguing evidence that the human brain is a "believing machine"—and that our capacity for self-transcendence and spirituality helps drive our evolution as a species. 
    This pioneer of brain studies presents the first audio course on his groundbreaking research into the fascinating links between faith, neurobiology, and the mysteries of the psyche, including:  •  Why this emerging science enriches both the faithful and the skeptical  •  How prayer and meditation enhance your health—tips for tailoring a spiritual regimen that suits your individual needs  •  How the world's spiritual paths uniquely shape the brain and mind  •  The "myth-making brain"—the survival value of our storytelling and human imagination  •  The biology of forgiveness—why this critical spiritual skill is so important to your physical and psychological wellness 
    No matter what you believe—or don't believe—about God, the parts of your brain that manifest spiritual experience have a profound impact on your entire identity. With his balanced approach of spiritual wonder and scientific rigor, Dr. Andrew Newberg is a leader in exploring the uncharted territory where our human bodies overlap with our experience of the sacred. On God and the Brain, he shares core insights that will deepen your understanding of our most human gift—the experience of the divine. 
    Course objectives:  •  Describe how our spiritual beliefs and practices affect our physical and mental health  •  Compile a detailed account of the entire nervous system, the different areas of the brain and what they are responsible for, both physically and emotionally  •  Discuss the history of religion and how its importance and practices have shifted in the past century  •  Discuss the results of Newberg's studies of spirituality, and discuss why spirituality is hard to measure in a test-like hypothesis  •  Assess the basic ways in which spiritual practices differ from one another, and also how they share some common characteristics
