I have been a believer in Jesus Christ for about thirty years and faithfully serve the Lord, and love Him with my whole heart. I attended Bible School and earned a Bachelors Degree in Theology. I have been reading through the entire Bible for many years and I regurlarly study the Bible. In addition, I read many other books and I am a writer myself. I am also an avid believer in speaking out God's Word aloud and confessing it over my life. I have had and continue to have, many glorious experiences in the presence of God's Holy Spirit and they have all been beyond what words can describe. You might be wondering why I am sharing all of this with you. I have made it a habit of "Checking In" with God on a regular basis, and by that I mean, I ask the Lord on a regular basis what I need to change in my life, in order for me to go to grow in my relationship with Him. On one of my more recent "check-ins", I asked the Lord how I could revolutionize my life. As soon as this question left my lips, I heard a whisper in my spirit: "Renew your mind". The first thing that popped into my mind was: "I thought that I had a pretty good handle on the renewing of my mind". But after hearing this whisper in my spirit, I realized that I did not have as much of a handle on it as I thought. If I did, why would I be prompted to renew my mind?

The author presents research and her perspectives on how the teachings of the Catholic Church both liberate and dignify women.

A 40-day plan for a complete makeover of body, mind, and spirit.

From the exercise physiologist of Tyler Perry and Mario Lopez comes PrayFit, a whole person fitness system designed to strengthen body and deepen faith. At its core, PrayFit is about effort: giving your best in two areas that are vital to well-being--faith and fitness. The underlying approach is simple: Make a daily appointment to spend quality time with the Lord and to exercise. This 28-day plan guides readers of any fitness level to begin a workout routine that can be done at home with little to no equipment, to make small but effective changes in their diet, and to grow in biblical knowledge and spiritual strength. As they follow the specially designed meal plans and workouts, readers will see the physical results of their efforts almost immediately--and as they reflect on the daily devotional reading (contributions from Pastor Jimmy Page, VP of Field Ministry and National Director of Wellness for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes) and Scripture verses, they will begin to understand the eternal dimension of giving their best. Living God's promised abundant life isn't only about faith . . . though that's where it starts. PrayFit is the best way to claim that promise both inside and out.

The bestselling author of All the Shah’s Men and The Brothers tells the astonishing story of the man who oversaw the CIA’s secret drug and mind-control experiments of the 1950s and ’60s. The visionary chemist Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s master magician and gentlehearted torturer—the agency’s “poisoner in chief.” As head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. He made pills, powders, and potions that could kill or maim without a trace—including some intended for Fidel Castro and other foreign leaders. He paid prostitutes to lure clients to CIA-run bordellos, where they were secretly dosed with mind-altering drugs. His experiments spread LSD across the United States, making him a hidden godfather of the 1960s counterculture. For years he was the chief supplier of spy tools used by CIA officers around the world. Stephen Kinzer, author of groundbreaking books about U.S. clandestine operations, draws on new documentary research and original interviews to bring to life one of the most powerful unknown Americans of the twentieth century. Gottlieb’s reckless experiments on “expendable” human subjects destroyed many lives, yet he considered himself deeply spiritual. He lived in a remote cabin without running water, meditated, and rose before dawn to milk his goats. During his twenty-two years at the CIA, Gottlieb worked in the deepest secrecy. Only since his death has it become possible to piece together his astonishing career at the intersection of extreme science and covert action. Poisoner in Chief reveals him as a clandestine conjurer on an epic scale.
