Book Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER Truth of the Divine is the latest alternate-history first-contact novel in the Noumena series from the instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times bestselling author Lindsay Ellis. The human race is at a crossroads; we know that we are not alone, but details about the alien presence on Earth are still being withheld from the public. As the political climate grows more unstable, the world is forced to consider the ramifications of granting human rights to nonhuman persons. How do you define “person” in the first place? Cora Sabino not only serves as the full-time communication intermediary between the alien entity Ampersand and his government chaperones but also shares a mysterious bond with him that is both painful and intimate in ways neither of them could have anticipated. Despite this, Ampersand is still keen on keeping secrets, even from Cora, which backfires on them both when investigative journalist Kaveh Mazandarani, a close colleague of Cora’s unscrupulous estranged father, witnesses far more of Ampersand’s machinations than anyone was meant to see. Since Cora has no choice but to trust Kaveh, the two must work together to prove to a fearful world that intelligent, conscious beings should be considered persons, no matter how horrifying, powerful, or malicious they may seem. Making this case is hard enough when the public doesn’t know what it’s dealing with—and it will only become harder when a mysterious flash illuminates the sky, marking the arrival of an agent of chaos that will light an already-unstable world on fire. With a voice completely her own, Lindsay Ellis deepens her realistic exploration of the reality of a planet faced with the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence, probing the essential questions of humanity and decency, and the boundaries of the human mind. While asking the question of what constitutes a “person,” Ellis also examines what makes a monster.

Book Description
Take an amazing journey with Paul Hume Brewster as he explores the universe, our perception of it, the reason for it, and why it was created. Learn about the mind and consciousness-how and why they differ from each other-and how the ego fits into it all. Higher dimensions, God, knowledge and truth connect in unexpected ways, altering our perceptions of the universe and all it entails. Expanding definitions of the universe and its creation require opening your mind and enjoying the ride that follows, reaching ever-higher dimensions and different states of consciousness, freeing the mind by healing it. The Profound Truth of Divine Existence makes readers think, challenging them to discover that knowledge must precede perception and turns traditional wisdom on its head with a view of the universe never before presented.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Harmony of Divine Truth How it can be accounted for, that the term truth should have been selected by the inspired writers, (or rather by the Spirit of inspiration.) to distinguish the religion which they exhibit, from every other system in the world, if at the same time they had considered it as a mere moral chaos, made for our plastic hands to mould and shape into such creeds as should please every man's own fancy? It is worthy to be noted that the sacred volume makes a very copious* use of this term, applying it to every department Of religion. For itself, as an inspired book, it claims the honor of being called the scripture of truth, and the word of truth. Dan. X. 21. Eph. I. 13. Is not the Bible thus manifestly distinguished from the Koran of the Mahometan's, and the Shasters of the Brahmins, and from every other book which sets up a claim to inspiration? The God of the Bible is called the true God, his beloved Son is called the true Witness, and his Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth and why, except to distinguish Jehovah from idols, his Son from false Christs, and the Holy Ghost from Satan, and every other lying spirit? The doctrines we are required to believe, are denominated the truth, to distinguish them from the doctrines of devils, and from delusive errors of every kind; and the belief of these doctrines, when it is wrought in our hearts by the Spirit of God, is said to be truth and no lie, to distinguish it from a false faith which does not work by love. Also, that conduct which is required by the divine law, and which is the external expression of a heart conformed to it, is called obeying the truth. 1 Tim. Ii. 4. 1 John ii. 27. 2 John 4. The church of the living God, when considered as a community, composed Of men redeemed from iniquity, is called the pillar and ground Of the truth. 1 Tim. Iii. 15. See also Isa. Xxvi. 2. What an importance does it give to religious truth when we hear Christ Jesus witnessing this good confession before Pontius Pilate! TO this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. John xviii. 37. Surely that must be a thing of no small consequence, the establishment of which was the end of our Redeemer's birth, and the sole cause why he came into the world.

The Divine Relationship

The Divine Relationship PDF Author: Paul Throne
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595294138
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 176

Book Description
"We are a servant of the divine. You also a servant of the divine. We only know a little more of what it means to be that, than the average person knows. All you need is to want to know what it means to be what one is. You have to have the desire to learn who one is through tools of spiritual progress. All of these things lead one to automatic reward. All truth is revealed only at the request of the hearer. No one can ever reveal any truth-no guide, no god, no anything-without your desire." The Divine Relationship is the culmination of years of spiritual teacher Eon's talks and writings on the subjects of God, guidance, spirituality and our human relationship to all of these. Eon always brings the conversation back to the biggest picture of all: our divinity within our humanity. This book contains the heart and essence of Eon's spiritual teachings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Immortality Triumphant: The Existence of a God and Human Immortality Philosophically Considered, and the Truth of Divine Revelation Substantiated IN the first seven chapters Of this volume I have brie y investigated, and independently discussed, the Existence of a God, as the intelligent Creator and Governor of the universe; the Immortality of man in a future state of be ing, and the relation in which animal, and vegetable life stand to both God and man. In the last thirteen chapters 1 have, as I conceive, clearly and irresistibly proved the truth of divine Revelation by a philosophical axiom furnished us in the New Testament by our Saviour, and in the last chapter of the book I have bestowed a passing notice on the published letters of Miss Martineau and Mr. Atkinson, both of England. The above four great and interesting Subjects, that I have philosophically considered, embrace matter sufficient for at least four volumes of three hundred pages each, and hence I have been compelled to study condensation as well as brevity throughout, and in several instances to classify the materials of my subject in order to effect this end. Sensible of the solemnity and vast importance of my subject to man, and of the deep and thrilling interest that every re ecting mind must naturally feel in regard to its present happiness and future destiny, it should be read and understood by all. And as voluminous works are owned and read by comparatively but few individuals, not only on account of their price, but the discouraging thought of wading through an ocean of words, Often of extraneous matter, to gain the desired information, so I have labored to obviate these Objections, by presenting the great and important points of the subject in a small volume, which is offered as a cheap pocket companion to the Christian community.
