Spiritually there is a great hunger today for contemplative and more satisfying experiences with God. Puritanism might seem to be an unlikely source for this, yet few groups in the history of Christian spirituality have written more extensively or wisely on the subject. Isaac Ambrose (1604-64), a relatively forgotten English Puritan, developed a theological foundation for the spiritual life based upon the Christian's intimate union with Christ, which the Puritans often called "spiritual marriage." Schwanda demonstrates that this vibrant relationship of union and communion with Jesus, inspired by the Holy Spirit, was manifested in a deep contemplative piety of gazing lovingly and gratefully upon God. At the same time, Ambrose did not neglect loving his neighbors. This study reveals how heavenly meditation was one of the significant practices engaged by Ambrose to cultivate spiritual intimacy and enjoyment of God. Further, his experiential reading of Scripture, in particular the Song of Songs, provided him with a language of ravishment and delight in God. This book provides a distinctively Protestant foundation for recovering the contemplative life while recognizing the significant contributions of the Western Catholic tradition.

Dr. Truitt tries to answer the following age-old questions from a philosophical, psychological, scientific and spiritual perspective: When a person dies, where does their spirit go? Are they born again? Does God want you putting words in his mouth? What makes living things intelligent and gives them life? Is a persons soul immortal? What happens to a persons soul after death? How can a soul be judged? What is the number one reason that a person should strive to make the world a better place for its future inhabitants? What is the ultimate truth, the ultimate reality? What is Dr. Truitts perception of reincarnation, being born again, and what he calls the re-creation or God and Mother Natures plan to perfect the souls of man and to turn the paradise that we call earth into the ultimate form of the good? Our purpose in life is to serve God and Mother Nature for the common good of all living things! Most religions are merely perceived by man to satisfy mankinds innate (God-given) need to know and understand. Gods instructions for living their lives are firmly ingrained in the souls of all his living creatures! To know and understand the truth is one of mankinds most essential innate or God-given needs. The ultimate truth, the ultimate reality, Gods laws, and the laws of nature are universal and never change; they never contradict each other.

Within the last forty years, scientific discoveries and knowledge about our universe contain unprecedented theological implications. They imply that the creator exists, more so than ever before. These discoveries have developed a worldview that challenges both theologians and scientists to engage in a mutually fruitful dialogue. From Creation to Re-Creation uniquely presents God’s accomplishments as author Daniel Lazich transports himself to a time when authors wrote creation narratives to depict the contrast between the ancient epics and biblical narrative. It forcefully asserts that the creation of this world and humankind was accomplished by the Creator, who loves humanity selflessly. This assertion is backed by the most advanced study and research concerning our universe’s nature. Lazich writes that the final observer in quantum cosmology and God in the Bible are the same. From Creation to Re-Creation employs unprecedented theological implications to assert that the creator’s existence is necessary for the universe and humankind in it to exist.
