This big-hearted wife, mother and grandmother worried that she didn't have much time left to enjoy the relationships that defined her life. Fear. Weakness. Facing death. These are life's deepest spiritual challenges, Suzy discovered. Searching for solutions, Suzy also found that America's wealth of medical expertise is equaled by our wealth of spiritual resources. Like millions of Americans, Suzy searched for the best doctors-but she also called on her colorful circle of friends and tried everything from psychotherapy to contemplating angels, from ancient prayers to a hope in miracles. Her warm, suspenseful and often funny journey of mixed disciplines is far from a dead end! Suzy realized that God reaches out to us through all of these resources-from doctors to spiritual teachers.

Suppose you could ask God any question and get an answer. What would it be? Young people all over the world have been asking those questions. So Neale Donald Walsch, author of the internationally bestselling Conversations with God series had another conversation. Conversations with God for Teens is a simple, clear, straight-to-the-point dialogue that answers teens questions about God, money, sex, love, and more. Conversations with God for Teens reads like a rap session at a church youth group, where teenagers discuss everything they ever wanted to know about life but were too afraid to ask God. Walsch acts as the verbal conduit, showing teenagers how easy it is to converse with the divine. When Claudia, age 16, from Perth, Australia, asks, "Why can't I just have sex with everybody? What's the big deal?", the answer God offers her is: "Nothing you do will ever be okay with everybody. 'Everybody' is a large word. The real question is can you have sex and have it be okay with you?" There's no doubt that the casual question-and-answer format will help make God feel welcoming and accessible to teens. Conversations with God for Teens is the perfect gift purchase for parents, grandparents, and anyone else who wants to provide accessible spiritual content for the teen(s) in their lives.

'Raising your consciousness to the 'God Winks' that often go by unnoticed, and recognising them as tremendously personal, will affirm that your existence is not random and that you have a role to play in life's grand plan' Squire Rushnell Have you ever thought about someone who hasn't crossed your path or mind in years and then bumped into them? Are there such things as coincidences? Do they mean anything? According to Rushnell, 'coincidences, like winks from God, are encouraging signposts along your universal path.' In WHEN GOD WINKS he explains that a 'God Wink' is a message of reassurance that comes our way whenever we need it and that coincidences are the best way for God to establish a presence in our lives. Rushnell shows how to retrace crossroads (a new job, a death, change in relationships) that took us in an entirely different direction, showing how to map the turning points made by coincidences that have guided us throughout our lives. Best of all, WHEN GOD WINKS shows us how to create our own coincidences and turn wishes into winks. He explains his compelling theory of coincidences through a series of incredible stories and motivational writing on how coincidences play a role in all facets of our life, including career, love, history, medicine, entertainment, sports and politics with telling comments from Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand, Mark Twain, Kevin Costner and other celebrities. WHEN GOD WINKS is a fascinating bridge to self-discovery.

Explores what role severity plays in God's character, and how difficulties in life relate to the concept of divine salvation.

A compilation of Fethullah Gulen's sermons on the life of the prophet, the book offers us a deeper understanding of God's Messenger through looking into his exemplary life from different aspects.

Epic and tragedy, from Homer's Achilles and Euripides' Pentheus to Marlowe's Tamburlaine and Milton's Satan, are filled with characters challenging and warring against the gods. Nowhere is the theme of theomachy more frequently and powerfully represented, however, than in the poetry of early imperial Rome, from Ovid's Metamorphoses at the beginning of the first century AD to Statius' Thebaid near its end. This book -- the first full-length study of human-divine conflict in Roman literature -- asks why the war against god was so important to the poets of the time and how this understudied period of literary history influenced a larger tradition in Western literature. Drawing on a variety of contexts -- politics, religion, philosophy, and aesthetics -- Pramit Chaudhuri argues for the fundamental importance of battles between humans and gods in representing the Roman world. A cast of tyrants, emperors, rebels, iconoclasts, philosophers, and ambitious poets brings to life some of the most extraordinary artistic products of classical antiquity. Based on close readings of the major extant epics and selected tragedies, the book replaces a traditionally Aeneid-centric view of imperial epic with a richer dialogue between Greek and Roman texts, contemporary authors, and diverse genres. The renewed sense of a tradition reveals how the conflicts these works represent constitute a distinctive theology informed by other discourses yet peculiar to epic and tragedy. Beginning with the Greek background and ending with a look ahead to developments in the Renaissance, this book charts the history of a theme that would find its richest expression in a time when men became gods and impiety threatened the very order of the world.

Based on ten years of ethnographic fieldwork, this text offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of cursing, black magic, and ritual healing in the Central Himalayas of North India.

In the Book The Destiny and Signs of God—Spiritual Psychoanalysis the author makes an analysis of his life through the lens of which he tries to convey to the reader God's way of communicating with each of us. His life experience is like a model for every reader to learn to communicate with the Universe/God directly without interpreters and without intermediaries—a unique and personal communication with the Universe from the entire Universe. The Destiny and Signs of God contains a poignant set of addictively chronicled teachings about our communication with God in person and shows how we can mobilize ourselves to get the answers to so many situations in our lives. Who are we? Where do we come from and where do we go? How can the paths we choose determine the destiny of our lives? In this book, you will find specific solutions to save yourself and our civilization from the nightmare of the material life. This book makes the connection between science and the Kingdom of Heaven. So far, our civilization has developed only one method of communication—OUR EVERYDAY INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION. Time has come for all of us to learn a second method of communication—to commit our thoughts to COMMUNICATING WITH THE UNIVERSE. This book is a new vision of ourselves and the whole universe. The author, a psychiatrist, has described a new form of psychoanalysis known as spiritual psychoanalysis, through which the reader will discover a way of communicating with the universe—the signs of God—as well as a new form of thinking: spiritual thinking. By interacting with the Universe, we communicate with God, and God is THE ONLY ONE in the Universe WHO can give us the best advice regarding our choice to build up our destiny and secure ourselves with a sound and continuous evolution.

In Gods Love contains all 532 passages that were revealed to me. The passages of In Gods Love contain wisdom, truth, knowledge, challenges and, most importantly, love. Some of the themes of In Gods Love are God, the universe, creation, freewill, suffering, Satan, morality, Jesus, prayer, wealth, sexuality, death, hell, heaven, the messengers and their mission. This is just a little taste of what In Gods Love says about these topics. What does In Gods Love say about God? His nature is kind and gentle. Look at a flower. Turn it in your hand. How does it feel? Is it soft, velvety and rich in color? How does that fragile petal make you feel? Gods nature is like that. He is as gentle as the soft petal from the flower you are holding in your hand. He is such a delight and so much more. Your God is an awesome Being. His merriment is beyond what any creation has ever known. God shall nourish the spirit and satisfy the thirst of the soul. All else is in vain. His beauty is all beauty. His love is all love. His life is all life. Have you heard the most wonderful music on Earth? Mmm. Hold your baby with love and tenderness. Gods love is like this, only a zillion of times more intensified. This is what its all about. God loves you all. In His creation is the most wicked sinner, whom no man, in his pain, could forgive. This sinner cried out to God with a contrite and loving heart. In this cry, compassion and mercy bore his spirit up to God forever. What does In Gods Love say about the universe? Signs of life are in the Heavens beyond your sun and there is a Creator who is your God. Can these little ones God has made be all? Look at the heavens at night. Has God made all this for no reason? A God who has a reason for everything? Such wonders are very real . . . Right and strong are many worlds and many people. What does In Gods Love say about Creation? Without God, creation would not exist . . . This is the Spirit of all life. He is why things are. He chose you to be His adopted child. What a marvelous gift. Blessings of life are sent to you from God . . . He chose you because He wanted you. He wanted you to live forever and share in His gifts and mysteries of eternal life. Earth people could have roamed the Earth as senseless as the wild boar. On Earth, animals are made for mankind. This is a God who honored you and made you human instead of a wild dog that roams the forest in search of prey. What a gift. He made you human. He chose you to share in His delights forever. God made mankind and gave him/her a mind, a consciousness, a reality. God made mankind and woke His creation up. What does In Gods Love say about our freewill? Make your choice. Will you choose an eternity of happiness, or will you choose an eternity of pain? Select. Make your decision. Spirit of truth and love or spirit of deception and hate. Bitter is the cup set before the wicked. Would you drink from such a bitter chalice when the sweet wine is passed? Would you choose the bitter? This is foolish. Such is the wickedness of man. The wise choose the sweet wine which is the chalice of God and the saints. Such a blessed cup. Wise are all who drink from the chalice of the Lamb and do not pass it up. In this is wisdom. What does In Gods Love say about suffering? While you wait, much suffering is relieved by your words to God. Wisdom is sent to small ones who suffer in Earths toil. Suffering is soon gone, and then you see that sorrow is virtues child perfecting the souls of man. Is sorrow a saint in Gods Spirit? Why is she working in Gods Spirit? God doesnt want beings to suffer. Then why is this spirit in Gods plans? Suffering is not virtues reason. Virtue is inscribed in the beginning. Sorrow is not inscribed in the beginning. Sorrow wages war against mankind. In this, is it understood. She chastises while men journey on Earth. Such sorrow cleanses saints of Earth. Sorrow detests that her spirit is used in Gods plans.
