At the first God made the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark, Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day....

At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

This is a short account of what I saw in New Orleans just a month after hurricane Katrina hit and the work God is doing there. It is what you didn't hear in the news about how the church responded to the disaster and how God has been using it to draw people to himself....

Once we got there I was tired, and I started to lose focus. I started to ask myself the question “why did I even come here? What is the purpose? How will what I’m doing here make any difference? Is this the worst of the damage there is? What am I doing here?” That night the pastor gave a speech that put everything back into focus for me. He talked about the disaster in Indonesia and the work that God is doing there. He talked about how Muslim leaders were telling people not to pay any attention to those Christians that were helping them and how they were saying “what are you talking about, the only people who are helping us are the Christians and the American soldiers.” He talked about how God was working in New Orleans and how he wanted to build “a new, New Orleans.” He talked about how people’s lives were being changed because they realized that they were being helped by Christians. He talked about how people are saying “all my life I thought that Christians were hypocrites, but now I’m starting to think differently.” He told us story after story of conversion and renewal; and he said “I have been praying all my life that one day ...

A small book that covers every sloka related to gems and its interpretation.

I believe that only ‘Ratnas’ defined in classics should carry “Swapranavastha” (Self invoked state) and rest of the gemstones are just stones. To energize them one needs proper mantras to invoke their powers which are positioned in dormant condition. This is the same as Idols of Deities need to be “Pranpratishtith” before they are worshipped. But Shalagrams and Dakshinavarti Shankas have their own powers and they are never invoked through Mantras....

This Book has been accomplished to Unite Humanity on the basis of Commonality in Belief and Reality that there is only One True God - ALLAH , the Message of Whom was conveyed by Moses in Old Testament, Jesus in New Testament and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them) in Quran. The history provides us the evidence that the Messengers of ALLAH have been sent to every Nation. Although, their languages were different in which Messages were conveyed but the Name of One True God - ALLAH, found to be the same and intact, inspite of various linguistic mutations. In our Blessed Research we found, “99 Beautiful Names of ALLAH” Co-existing in Quran, Hadith and Bible. We earnestly, hope that our readers would be all over the globe who would love to gain this Blessed Insight and Embrace the Truth....

5) “…do not worry about your life..”-Matt. 6,25 “what you will eat (or drink), or about your body; what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?...can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life span?...Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”-Matt. 6, 25-34 In these words, Jesus commands us to stop worrying about our life and its circumstances; and that we must trust in God; that He will provide all that we truly need. We are to learn from the way that the flowers grow, and the grass in the field; God provides for them. The birds of the air and all of God’s creatures and processes of this world are well in hand, under God’s watchful eye. Nothing in God’s creation worries except man. We have been given the power of rational thought but we abuse it by questioning God’s purpose for us and His ability to take care of us. We venture down the road of self-reliance and self-s...

This is not another Christian book in the market; this book is designed for those who truly love Jesus Christ and embrace him as the only way to God’s Paradise in Heaven. If you do not believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit collectively known as the Holy Trinity, then I strongly urge you not to open this book. You must truly love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior to read this book. God, through the Holy Bible has given us everything we need to know about Him, His nature, His creative ingenuity, and His summary divine plan for humanity. The Bible teaches that Salvation is a gift from God to humanity. The Equation of Salvation comes from the supernatural conception, the natural birth, the natural death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and his resurrection. From this equation, what God however did not tell the world is that “Salvation is a gift with a missing component that leaves the equation unbalanced”. It explains why Salvation is also a waiting game directly dependent on the End of the Age. From a supernatural standpoint of God’s Creative Library, the equation of your salvation is absolutely unbalanced without the se...

Salvation is a supernatural equation with a missing component from "The End of the Age".

Answering the Ali Sina Challenge using a basic common sense and logical approach...

This is a book about the beginnings of the Jewish people, from prehistory to the time the Jewish Nation was formed in the land of Canaan. Many books cover the early history of the Jews, the Bible being, perhaps, the most read one. However, archaeological discoveries made over last 30 or so years shed some new and important light on many events in that history. These discoveries have been published in a number of books and scholarly papers. For those who do not have time, or inclination to go over those numerous sources, this short (intentionally short) book retells the early history of the Jewish people in light of those discoveries. For those, who would like to dive deeper into specific subjects, the extensive bibliography provides the material for further reading....

Some 2500 years ago in ancient Northeast India, a young, brilliant and courageous man discovered the sublime answer to how the mind works and how to realise unconditioned happiness and bliss. For the next 45 years, he devoted his life to teaching the doctrine that helped bring unparalleled happiness, peace and relief to numerous people long after his death. In time stories began to emerge proclaiming his greatness and his near-divinity status. Over generations and into distant lands, those stories took on a life of their own. Eventually the real man is buried under a mountain of beautiful fantasies and magical tales. Scholars in Buddhist studies have never lost sight of the historical Buddha. There is a beautiful story to tell about the real man but the materials never quite made it to the mass market because academic books are generally hard to read and appreciate. This book seeks to bring the historical Buddha back into the popular psyche. That story is as intriguing, and is perhaps even more inspiring than the best fantasy story that had ever been woven....

"Buddha did not waste time with external worldly conditions. He had seen through their transient nature and decided to go in search of happiness directly and not derive it through conditional proxies. At 35 (quite the prime ofhis life), Buddha knew exactly what it was like to taste that exquisite inner peace that is not dependant on fickle, short-lived external conditions. After six years of exacting spiritual practice under very painful conditions, he succeeded in his quest to realise unconditioned happiness (nibbana). By any yardstick, that attainment alone would already have made his life deeply meaningful. While the rest of the world hankers after passing moments of delight, he abided in deep contentment and happiness as a matter of course. There is no comparison!"...

The Fruit of Fasting In a holy saying, the Almighty says: “All deeds of son of Adam are done for themselves, except fasting; it is done for Me, and therefore, it is Me who gives the reward of it” And in the Holy Quran He, the almighty, says: “[Fast] the month of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed, a book of guidance for people” when the Envoy of God (cpth) fasted he felt magnification and appreciation for the Almighty Allah; there and then the meanings and realities of the Holy Book, the Quran, were revealed to his noble and pure spirit. If human fasts this month as it should be fasted, they will come to be illuminated by God’s Light and witness the truth. This illumination helps them distinguish between good and evil and hear the Words of the Great Creator, and thus they become guided. “With proofs of guidance and criterion” by virtue of your closeness to the Almighty Allah, you can discriminate between good and evil. At this stage, you will flood with benefits for yourself and for all creation. Discrimination between good and evil is not an easy matter. All the Greeks, the Roman, and the Arab philosophers failed to attai...

You must truly love Jesus Christ to read this book. This is not another Christian book in the market. If you don’t believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, collectively known as the Holy Trinity, then you shouldn’t read this book. When God created everything, it was a manifestation of the blueprint of His divine plan from His Creative Library. Out of that plan came humanity, the Holy Bible, and Salvation through Jesus Christ. Out of that plan God will also surprisingly unleash the End of the Age which is a lot closer than you think. God’s blueprint encapsulated in His son Jesus Christ has never been disclosed to humanity; but as we move closer to the End of the Age, Jesus Christ has decided for the first time in human history to unveil God’s Supernatural Blueprint for Humanity to those who truly love him. The blueprint also contains the step-by-step divine process that leads to the End of the Age. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:1...

The Origin of God From time immemorial, the relentless search for the origins of Biblical truth has persistently trapped humanity in an endless loop. Bible critics have come up with all sorts of theories to refute Biblical truth. The most notorious claim is that Jesus Christ was married and even had children. If there is any element of truth in this claim, then that will practically make the Holy Bible completely false. If the Bible is not the truth, then God obviously doesn’t exist. On the other hand, the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the image and son of God Himself. “Jesus answered: ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” John 14:9. In every scientific research in human history, you cannot prove a theory without a traceable origin. For example, we cannot scientifically trace the origin of a new life on earth beyond the point of male and female unification. The fact that the world cannot trace the origin of God makes such scientific theories regarding Jesus Christ less reliable than a fairy tale. Biblic...

This is the philosophical novel that was my Master's degree thesis

Steven, you should DEFINITELY continue to give your life to . . . literary novels (notice I omitted “obscure”).  What you have produced is a phenomenal work.  Others, in the past, have attempted to do something like you have done, but they did not come close to creating a work with such breadth and depth as you.   I apologize for taking so very long to complete the reading of your work, but it is very densely written in some sections, while others seem to be as lucid as anything I have ever read.  Your vocabulary probably exceeds my own (“fulgurant”), for which I am thankful, as I always enjoy being taught the existence of words I have not yet incorporated into my own lexicon.   The most successful parts of your work—for me—were the interactions between Luk, Aus, and the central character, as those passages moved the story along.  I think using the unrest and waging of police action in Bangkok sets up the intellectual discontent in the rest of the novel, but I would wish for a more balanced unfolding of the story with the intellectual ruminations.  The least successful passages for me were sometimes extremely lengthy sen...
