Drawing on the expertise of archaeologists, historians, biblical scholars, and social-science interpreters who have devoted a significant amount of time and energy in the research of ancient Galilee, this accessible volume includes modern general studies of Galilee and of Galilean history, as well as specialized studies on taxation, ethnicity, religious practices, road systems, trade and markets, education, health, village life, houses, and the urban-rural divide. This resource includes a rich selection of images, figures, charts, and maps.

A key to Charles Fillmore's original form of religious expression, this volume is a core text of the Unity movement and interprets the hidden meanings of the Bible's names, places, and events.

More than ten million readers have enjoyed Robert Boyd Munger's spiritually challenging meditation on Christian discipleship. Now revised and expanded, My Heart--Christ's Home leads you to examine for yourself all the aspects of your life--considering what Christ most desires for you.

First published in 1949, this spiritual classic by Neville Goddard captures the same intensity of thought and conviction which made Goddard famous amongst progressive thinkers. In this volume we see not only a profound religious feeling, but also a sense of the dignity and responsibility of human life. Our own feeling about the results of his experiments as a whole is that they are not just an addition to our existing knowledge, but require a revolution in our whole way of thinking about the world. A wonderful read!

The form in which this is presented is such as to give in perspective the whole matter at a glance, thus allowing a comparative study of the subjects with as little difficulty as possible. The Churches here chosen for study represent the largest membership and the most diversified, as to doc trine, of all Christian denominations. The particular subjects were chosen with the purpose of covering the doctrinal basis of general Christian belief. In obtaining this information, it has been the endeavor of the compiler to obtain only the generally accepted Church doctrine and not any individual or personal viewpoint. It must be remembered, however, that the diversity to be found within a denomination itself is as striking as the diversity between the various denominations themselves.

A bestselling account of the many healings and other works of a legendary psychic and an affirmation of the belief in reincarnation. In this study of one of America’s greatest psychics, Edgar Cayce, Gina Cerminara explores the “magnificent possibility” of reincarnation as not only a method to understand our existence, but the truth of it. Using Cayce’s detailed and expansive files that span decades of his research and practice in the field of psychic phenomena, Cerminara delves into the essential essence of reincarnation and its purpose. Told winningly and to the heart of the matter, Many Mansions will be a revelation to many and a confirmation to some about the meaning of human life and the myriad of opportunities afforded to us by the existence of reincarnation. Praise for Many Mansions “Dr. Cerminara . . . is one of the most engaging and penetrating scholars in this field. . . . Perhaps the most attractive quality in her writing is the leavening of wit and insight which shines in these pages.” —Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times “Edgar Cayce was clearly one of the most remarkable psychics who ever lived. Gina Cerminara’s compelling book is . . . unique and extremely important.” —Jeane Dixon

In this book Lord Dowding, whose name will be remembered in connection with the Battle Of Britain, puts forward a strong case for life after death. The author presents the subject attractively in a vigorous and fluent style- there are no dreary chapters of analysis, full of meaningless phraseology-the book is written in a clear and concise manner, which can be comprehended and will convince all who read it. Dowding is no sentimentalist; he examines his facts soberly and critically from all angles; his plea for a better understanding of spiritualism will be greeted with enthusiasm by spiritualists all over the world and is bound to be regarded as a valuable asset to the spiritualistic cause. No one can question the deep sincerity with which this work has been carried out. Having in mind the many instances of survival after death on the battlefield recorded through various channels, Lord Dowding has satisfied himself that these records should be made known to the public as widely as possible, believing that they carry with them the hall-mark of truth. In the record of Lord Dowding's career lies the assurance that he is a practical man not likely to be led astray by specious theories, or to harbour delusions when confronted by hard facts.

Analyzes what Jesus said about when he would return and the last days would arrive (as in Matthew 24:34). Defends the trustworthiness of Jesus' teachings.
