"Spiritual forces impact all humanity and cannot be controlled by Man. Their impact can and will be positive or negative, and they are helped or hindered by prayer and its intent. Our senses can be programmed by what we consume from different media sources. Our senses move us toward truth or error, and that movement will produce results. Do you know whose spirit is influencing your choices today?"--Page 4 of cover

In the beginning, before anything was created, God crafted the plan for all that was to come. He established rules necessary for the plan to work perfectly. Two distinct concepts came into play: Gods Law of Disintegration and SE=MC2. In Blueprint, author JR McElfesh delves into these concepts and discusses their purpose and how they apply to todays spiritual world. He: looks at how abstract things are impacted by many forces, including time and space, and he shows how God thinks, why he made the rules, and why they were necessary; draws some conclusions as to how spiritual and/or metaphysical abstracts are impacted by our thinking and the consequences of time and space; probes into the issues of God, creation, and how many things interact, how God uses them, and his final purpose; and offers ideas about how things in time and space react to stress and the forces of our physical world. Blueprint communicates that Gods Law of Disintegration is the spiritual counterpart to all the laws that govern the universe, and its important for Christians to stay on the right side of the law. Praise for Blueprint McElfresh combines imaginative story-telling and examples from Christian history to support his arguments for Gods Law of Disintegration. Readers interested in serious Bible story, biblical theology, systematic theology, and Christian apologetics will find this new book a solid and provocative presentation.

Hope is not an attitude—it’s a way of life. Therapist Ted Brackman, a colleague of Jim Wallis in the early Sojourners community, mines psychological, theological, and sociological insights in this practical and compassionate guide for “living well while ill.” Ted’s work was deepened by his eleven years with pancreatic cancer (after a nine-month prognosis). He developed and lived out a way of life animated by hope in the transcendent reality of God’s future coming to us in the present. In his writing, he is an honest, inspiring companion: • for those who struggle to face the next hour with courage and strength. • for those who feel defeated and need a new way forward that reframes the present. • for caregivers and advocates who need new tools for replenishing both internal and external resources. • for communities of faith seeking to bring change to, and empowering hope within, marginalized populations. For all those ready to find a new way of living when false hopes and distractions are stripped away, to learn how to build a foundation for personal, communal, and social thriving . . . Ted Brackman offers Bright Hope.

Robert J. David's Spirit Fire and Lightning Songs makes a major contribution to the steadily growing body of research in the western United States that prioritizes indigenous voices, myth, and neuropsychological models to provide a fresh and innovative approach to decolonizing the past. As a Klamath Tribal member, David's scholarly and engaging writing style lends itself to the retelling of Klamath-Modoc myths and the interpretation of how these myths convincingly relate to rock art at 4-Mod-22, a complex Klamath Basin petroglyph site in Northern California near the former Tule Lake. David's work at 4-Mod-22 highlights three distinctive classes of rock art: iconic motifs, residual markings, and geometric figures. Information provided by a combination of Klamath-Modoc ethnography and myth suggests that these distinctive rock art categories denote two patterns of ritual use that include shamans' consultations with their spirit familiars, and shamanic power quests.
