Product Information

The rest is but a dream…) The goal is healing the mind and coming to peace, as a result of re-trained perceptions and forgiveness. Do you want to believe in miracles but have been put off either by Christians who insist that every problem should be solved by a miracle, or by the skepticism of God's miraculous intervention in human experience? The mesmerizing images deal with both biblical and folkloric tales, depicting stories from the Old Testament and Book of Revelation as well as events that took place in the immediate present of the manuscript’s author.

A Course in Miracles is said to have been channeled from a discarnate entity perceived as Jesus but never explicitly named as such in the ensuing text. It brilliantly serves not only biblical scholars but also--equally important--mission thinkers and practitioners. On second thought, though, I realized as I read the book that all these accounts of miracles pretty much were preceded by horrible and painful tragedies. Hopefully this work will inspire many to pick up where Keener leaves off, in turn providing more scrutinized support for Keener's theses. In any case, when it gets right down two it, you have sort of a split-personality when it comes to the topic of miracles.Waterman studied art history at Oregon State University and received a PhD from Princeton University for his dissertation on interrelations of literature and visual art of the Silesian Baroque. The evangelical editor Elliot Miller says that Christian terminology employed in ACIM is "thoroughly redefined" to resemble New Age teachings. You believe the biblical accounts that these miracles happened, but do you believe eye-witness reports that miracles still happen today?

After reading the book, I find myself looking at my own upbringing in modern Western culture and thinking that, despite all the wonderful technological advances we are blessed with, despite all the learning, culture, and science we enjoy, maybe the flip side to all of that is that we are unknowingly imprisoned in cages of skepticism and cynicism that neuter our belief and faith in God and what God can do. For instance, dragons flew over Bohemia for several days in 1533 and a spring of blood welled up from the ground in 1550 between Halle and Meissen. Most modern prejudice against biblical miracle reports depends on David Hume's argument that uniform human experience precluded miracles. One day I became aware that I didn’t need hair and had stopped praying for healing (physical and emotional).Asustada, pensando que se estaba volviendo loca, fue a hablar con su colega y este le aconsejó que se sentara a escribir. Many years ago I read it and underlined every page and the top of each page I wrote one sentence that stood out to me from that page. Or are there many more smaller, “mundane” miracles which we miss because we’ve been conditioned to expect something big?

By seeing our essential unity with all other people–the shared innocence of brothers and sisters–we learn that forgiveness is the only sane response to any offence, which is merely a cry for help. Before he gets to the accounts of healing, Keener begins his book with a critique of David Hume and modern, Western Enlightenment skepticism.

Intellectually, I believe the Holy Spirit really does move people to speak in tongues, I also know full well that sometimes people fake it and am sometimes skeptical.
