MY TWO YEARS IN THE PRIEST CORPS (EBOOK)
JOE NOVARA

Resumen del eBook

My Two years in the Priest Corps is one insiders answer to the question, how do priests get that way? From elementary school aspirations, to theology studies in Rome during the Second Vatican Council to eventual disaffection with the Catholic Church, I focus on larger life lessons arising from my personal experience of the ministry rather than reminiscence for its own sake.The book attempts to convey the complexity of the times along with the emotional and political context of the tectonic changes happening in the Catholic Church in the 1960s. Ive embedded short stories, a letter, a poem and anecdotes along a loose time line driven by themes more than chronology.The resulting mosaic elicited these kinds of comments from fellow authors:* This is a wonderfully comfirmational story to those of us who learn from life, and not just from books, teachers and institutions.* A very interesting read! Im not Catholic and dont know much about that religion but I found this fascinating.It really gave me a look into something I know nothing about and what its like to have that calling.* A daring piece of work.* We too often think of religion as a one way, merge-only street thats never exited.But your experience mirrors in some small way my own, and thats comforting.* Many readers will welcome your book. Some readers will scorn your decision to abandon your calling: a few will label you an apostate;others will come to it to satisfy their curiosity; most will find in its pages much enlightenment about the Church as institution.You might have lost your priestly vocation but you didnt lose your conscience. ...

GOD STOPPING A NUCLEAR WAR (EBOOK)
ROBERT LAUZECKAS

Resumen del eBook

This book will explain how God is trying to avoid a nuclear war. Not easy, even for him. Because he isnt what most people think he is, nor is Satan.The real truth about them makes someone like Hitler predictable. Even manageable.Makes the flood of Indians and Muslims into Europe and American predictable. Even manageable.Mak es the rise of China predictable. Satans next Germany if he is allowed to get his way in China.Makes the black riots in the UK and France predictable. Not so manageable.This book is the book promised before End Days to finally explain both entities to Mankind.Here is a small example of what there is to learn about them. To do, what even they cant do. Ill explain that in the book. Yes, there is a reason why they always fought over people and their decisions in life.Satans Kingdom is divided along racial lines. Not Gods. Racial strife, created the Holocaust and is pushing for a nuclear war. There are key differences among different races in their use of right and left brains. Satan uses these differences as weapons of war against Gods plans.For example, the Germans, the Italians, and the Japanese all excel at putting their right brain spatial intelligence to use. Meaning, theyre all good in building things. Italy has great art. German engineering is the best. And who is better in robotics than the Japanese? And all were allies in the Second World War. Was this merely chance? No!The right brain is also more physical. What good is spatial intelligence if youre too lazy to put it to use?So people good with their right brains are generally more physically active. They also like guns and cars more.The left brain is more meek, more bound by verbal rules. Putting more value on group concerns than individual concerns. More the lawyer and business man than the engineer or artist. Jews and Indians both favor their left brains over their right brains. Which is why both produce more lawyers and bankers and computer programmers than most Europeans. Which is why both groups favor their own people over other people.Muslims are the most bound by their left brains over their right brains. They live by strict left brain rules. Rules which put down their right brain pleasures. No drinking. Cover pretty women up. No bikers.Take into account were all biologically cross wired inside. Our left brain controls our right hand and our right brain controls our left hand.Which hand did God favor? His right hand. His right side. Get the hint?Which hand is the sinister hand? The Devils hand? Our left hand. Getting it better now?These are clues to a hidden war going on in Mankind since the beginning. A war only a few people in history ever knew about. Good and bad is more mixed than anyone ever suspected.Youre about to learn all about this secret war. How it affects every race, every people. How Moses and Jesus secretly referred to this hidden war. How it created the mind of Hitler. How it really created the Holocaust, and people were just puppets of these larger forces in Mankind. Forces still at work today.Forces pushing for a nuclear war. Forces Hell bend on destroying America and most of Europe.By the time you finish this book there will be no more Mystery about God in your mind.Why today?There is a great nuclear war coming, something God is trying to prevent, and preventing it, isnt as easy as you think for him. He is gambling that by revealing the truth about himself and Satan most of mankind will side with him to avert an impending nuclear war.Will his gamble pay off? That depends on what you and others do with this knowledge.As you guessed by now, the actual truth about them has to be rational, scientific, and mystical. It is. How could it not be? The d... ...

TALES OF THE WHIRLING RAINBOW (EBOOK)
STEVEN MCFADDEN

Resumen del eBook

Tales of the Whirling Rainbow is a journalists account of some of the key mysteries of the Americas, and an electrifying exploration of how those myths are echoed in real time as we edge toward the signal year of 2012. Veteran journalist Steven McFadden weaves the living myths together seamlessly in a tightly written ebook that is soul-resonant.A crucial part of the story commences on June 23, 1995 when traditional wisdom keepers of North America and a multicultural band of walkers from several continents -- began a prophetic journey, walking from First Encounter Beach, Eastham, Massachusetts across the continent to the legendary Western Gate -- Point Conception on the Pacific shore. The pilgrimage proceeded for eight months under the dazzling, natural sky sign of the Whirling Rainbow, a key image in the lore of Pte San Wi (White Buffalo Calf Woman) since the birth of the white buffalo in 1993.The new material in the 2nd edition, based on interviews with traditional Mayan Daykeepers, expands the scope of the ebook by also exploring the key role of the 21,000 pyramids and temples of Mesoamerica as they figure in the 2012 teachings of the Maya. This elaborate network of sacred centers, the Mayan Daykeepers told the author, has a key energetic role to play in keeping the balance as Earth Changes intensify, and our human lives attain high velocity.In this manner, the elders told him, will the different colors and faiths of humanity be moved to heal their web of relationships.Having traveled widely for over 30 years with Native Elders both north and south, McFadden writes about many of the core insights associated with 2012, including the role the Sun may play. He tells the tales in plain, precise language, creating a quick but absorbing investigation into the mythology of this moment in time. The calendar of 26,000 years is new for the dominant civilization,"Mayan Daykeepers told the author,"but the calendar portends big changes."About McFaddens other writing, The New York Times Book Review observed: There are some stirring and unexpected powers unleashed... Library Journal commented: This wise and provocative collection is highly recommended. ... Leer resumen completo
