Can beliefs be healed that were created in error? Of course they can, and this is precisely why Jesus returned to give these messages to mankind. He did this in order to show the truths he taught 2,000 years ago. Yes, he did return; and rather than take time to show the many errors in the Bible, Jesus instead presents what he really said and meant. Read this book and investigate the central message of Jesus revealed anew today. The core teaching of Jesus is that it is the will of our Heavenly Father to give the great gift of His Divine Love. Learn what this means and how this love may change your life. This book is a new compilation of selected spirit writings from a larger collection generally known as the Padgett Messages. James Padgett received these messages between 1914 and 1920; and though they were delivered by the spirit world nearly a century ago, the reader will discover that they remain relevant and true today.

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

The fourteenth-century anchorite known as Julian of Norwich offered fervent prayers for a deeper understanding of Christ's passion. The holy woman's petitions were answered with a series of divine revelations that she called "shewings." Her mystic visions revealed Christ's sufferings with extreme intensity, but they also confirmed God's constant love for humanity and infinite capacity for forgiveness. Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Written in immediate, compelling terms, her experiences remain among the most original and accessible expressions of medieval mysticism. This edition contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the shewings and Julian's initial analysis of their meaning, and the long text, completed some 20 years later and offering daringly speculative interpretations.

This is the first of four volumes of messages received by James Padgett. The first edition was published in 1941, and contains the most significant of the spiritual concepts that he learned from Jesus and his disciples. Included in these concepts are: The true mission of Jesus, the structure of the Heavens, immortality, who and what is God, the Holy Spirit, the Resurrection, Forgiveness and the Vicarious Atonement. This is an amazingly coherent yet very simple set of teachings cover every question one might have. Yet these are sadly not the teachings that the churches currently teach even though one can see where in the New Testament support lies for what Padgett received. This edition has dates added, and a great many useful footnotes. It also has a message from James and Helen Padgett received in 2014 giving a great many personal details that were not previously known.

“God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt at the beginning of this little meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. In a rich yet accessible style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton, Bauerschmidt breathes life back into that claim, drawing from Scripture, great Christian and non-Christian writers of the past, and his own lived experience to show just how countercultural and subversive Christianity is actually meant to be. Eschewing the abstract and dogmatic in favor of the relational and inviting, he offers something for everyone, from lifelong churchgoers and students of religion to the growing population of “nones” among younger generations who are increasingly seeking spiritual fulfillment outside of institutional Christianity. With further reading suggestions (both scriptural and nonscriptural) at the end of each chapter, The Love That Is God is the perfect starting point of a spiritual journey into deeper relationship with God.

This is the second volume of communications from Jesus and other celestials received by James Padgett and first published in 1950. The volume continues the coverage of the concept of Divine Love, and how this effects the new birth first promised by Jesus 2000 years ago. Many other important spiritual topics are also covered. This edition has dates added, and a great many useful footnotes and cross references.
