This book is the narration of my ritual experiences with Mazatec shamans. Some of the main aspects of my experiences as a participant in these rituals were: Mystical ecstasy, enlightenment, as well as paranormal psychic phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, magnetism (healing touch). I was also an eyewitness of indigenous traditional medicine healing, through the mushrooms Ceremony, with shamanic chants and prayer. The ceremonies of the sacred mushrooms, involved a direct interface with the world of the sacred -until then unknown to me and this caused me to re-evaluate of my concepts as to the meaning of the universe and my understanding of myself as a human being.

They were amazed at his teaching.''; ''They fell down before him.''; ''He touched her hand.''; ''they left their nets.''; Often when we read the New Testament accounts of Jesus' life, we focus on his teachings and stories. But Don Everts draws our attention to the seemingly insignificant ''stage directions'' of the Gospels that describe the activity surrounding him. ''It's significant,'' Everts writes, ''that in the Gospels we don't just have a bullet list of quotes from Jesus.'' We also have observations of what he did and how people responded to him. By examining these simple phrases and casual comments, Everts assembles a startlingly fresh portrait of who Jesus was and is. While no one has seen the invisible God, when we look at the life of Jesus, we discover what his early followers discovered - that Jesus is the very flesh of God. ''Many people find themselves put off by Christianity but haunted and compelled by the figure of Jesus. In God in the Flesh, Don Everts reminds us why.

Drawing on modern physics and ancient metaphysics, Stephen H. Webb constructs a philosophy of Christian materialism based on the unity of matter and spirit in the incarnation.

Are you living a rich and satisfying life? I sure wasn't. I was alive in the body but not really living as the Lord desired for me. I knew there was so much more, I just didn't know how to get there. There are so many of us who aren't living this satisfying life that the Lord desires for us. It may look to the outside world that we have it all together and have everything we want and need but deep down we are miserable and unsatisfied. Is that you? Do you really want to know why you aren't living that satisfying (abundant) life that Jesus desires for you in John 10:10? Like me, you aren't doing...Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice." Luke 11:18 (NLT) You aren't living because you continue to disobey the Lord. I have been called to teach the "not-so-good news" in the Good News so that when you hear the Good News it is really Good News! We do this by self-examination. That means looking at our thoughts, words, and actions and seeing how we are measuring up with the Lords standards. This first book in this series is the most important. In order to be blessed, to have joy in your tribulations, to be at peace with God and others, to live that abundant life on earth, and to be used by God, you must put off a preoccupation of self and start living the basics of Christianity. You must put off your anger, your unforgiveness, your unloving ways, your unsubmissiveness, your fear, worry, depression and your life dominating sins. This is achieved when you understand His focus for our living. "Deny self, carry your cross, and follow Him." Luke 9:23-24.

Have you ever been confronted with the questions, Can God become a man? Is not incarnation a violation of the natural law? The Christian says incarnation is the pulsating beat of the heart of Christianity and that God became a man, yet the formidable question is, how? Has theology or science found a solution? The historical Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential person ever to walk on the face of the planet Earth. For the past 2000 years, thousands of books have been written about Him, and yet, no book has been written about the mechanism by which the eternally existing God - the Christ - became Jesus, the Man in the Flesh. This book precisely explains this mystery by looking through the prism of the scientific discipline of genetics. In this book, you will: ● Discover how science (genetics) has already shown what the Scriptures have promised. ● Gain scientific understanding about how God became a man. ● Understand the scientific basis for the phrase, "Word Became Flesh." ● Acquire scientific knowledge that will revitalize your spiritual life and empower you to defend your faith. Sam Rose is a former senior post-doctoral research scientist at Columbia University, New York and a research fellow at Rutgers University, New Jersey (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey). He spent more than fifteen years studying the intricacies of the immune system. His genetic research has focused on the role of HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) genes in human autoimmune diseases and HIV/AIDS. In 2000 he was struck by an insidious illness and confronted by the last visitor, but God preserved him for a unique purpose. Since then, he has been examining the relevance of science (genetics) and theology with particular emphasis on Christianity. After 18 years of clinical trials, he lives to tell one of the greatest mysteries God has revealed to mankind. He holds a Ph.D. in Immunogenetics from AIIMS (All India Inst of Med Sciences, New Delhi India). He is the Founder and President of Incarnate Word International.
