This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.

This hugely popular classic work of Derek Prince helps readers recognize if there are curses at work in their lives and shows them how to get out from under those curses to live under God's blessings. This third edition of Blessing or Curse includes an extensive new study guide for small group or individual use.

This book shares the intimate details of the emotional and spiritual challenges Gregory King faced as a young man in the Christian faith. Gregory firmly believes that there are many misperceptions and stereotypes that reinforce an exclusionary Christian belief system that rejects those who are different and regards them as CURSED. He specifically challenges many "so-called" Christians to re-evaluate how they "choose" to treat those with a different sexual orientation within the church congregation. Gregory believes that these flawed beliefs are divisive and create an environment of judgment, condemnation, and self-destruction which completely contradicts the teachings of Jesus. Gregory explains how he overcame these erroneous beliefs and provides tools to equip those who face similar challenges! At one time, Gregory's limited understanding of God's love resulted in his contemplation of suicide. While he obviously never succeeded at taking his own life, God's greater plan for him is evidenced in his powerful, spiritual, and insightful writings. "YOU ARE NOT CURSED" is a compilation of spiritual, philosophical and religious antidotes for those who face persistent discrimination and rejection from family, church, and society! He speaks to the alienated, forgotten, and rejected who only seek love, acceptance, guidance, and spiritual fulfillment. With this book, he gives hope, inspiration, and instruction to those who are often regarded as "cursed" in a society that is dominated by religious dogma and bigotry. Gregory reiterates that it is not Christianity that is on trial here, but rather the understanding, interpretation and application of it in our daily lives! He asserts that Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, but we don't! Gregory believes that it is bigotry, fear, hatred, and ignorance that is destructive and stands in the way of our spiritual growth and prosperity! He firmly believes that the church should not reject and condemn those who are perceived as different, but embrace, love and accept them as unique expressions of God's love!
