You can only go so far for so long before you find the limits of yourself. For Phileena Heuertz that moment arrived, mercifully, around the same time as a sabbatical to mark her twelfth year of service with an international organization working with some of the most vulnerable people in the world. Activists often see contemplation as a luxury, the sort of thing necessarily set aside in the quest to see the world set aright. But in Pilgrimage of a Soul we see that contemplation is essential-not only to a life of sustained commitment to the justice and righteousness of God, but to the fully human life that the Holy Spirit beckons each of us to. Tracing seven movements from a kind of sleepfulness to a kind of wakefulness, Phileena shows us that life is a journey that repeats itself as Christ leads us deeper and deeper into our true selves and a truer knowledge of God. This revised edition includes practices with each chapter, as well as questions for group discussion and individual reflection.

Many of his books talk about life in the Fourth Dimension-a realm that is more real than the physical world in which we live. He points out that the world we know was fashioned in the invisible Fourth Dimension-the spiritual realm-and the things we see are only temporary; whereas, spiritual things are eternal. In light of this, he wants each of us to gain entrance to the Fourth Dimension, the place where the God of might and miracles lives and moves.How do we move from this sphere into the Fourth Dimension? Dr. Cho provides a "road map" for us by showing us the things we need to change in order to get there and live there: We must change the way we think We must live by faith, not by sight We must dream God's dreams We must change the way we speak We must change the way we behaveYes, these are the keys that open the door to the Fourth Dimension for every child of God who wants to know and experience God in all His fullness. As you read this book, you will gain glimpses into the spiritual dimension, a wonderful place of love, peace, and joy, and you will be inspired to go there and stay there. Though you are in the world, you do not have to be of the world."By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible" (Hebrews 11:3 NKJV).

From award-winning author Ariel Sabar comes the gripping, true story of a sensational religious forgery and the scandal that engulfed Harvard University. In 2012, Dr Karen King, a star professor at Harvard Divinity School, announced a blockbuster discovery. She had found an ancient fragment of papyrus - 'The Gospel of Jesus's Wife', as she titled it - in which Jesus called Mary Magdalene 'my wife'. Her announcement made international headlines. If early Christians believed that Jesus was married, it would upend the 2,000-year history of the world's predominant faith, threatening not just the celibate, all-male priesthood but sacred teachings on marriage, sex, and women's leadership. As debates over the manuscript's authenticity raged, award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar set out to investigate a baffling mystery: where did this tiny scrap of papyrus come from? His indefatigable search for answers became an international true-crime story, in which, remarkably, he managed to solve the crime.
