Making it Personal

Mindstir Media Publishing — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 14:41:04 +0000

A book about making prayer an essential part of one's life, specifically prayer for the inflowing of what is known as Divine Love, the very Essence of Divinity, Making It Personal covers a wide range of aspects about prayer--its history, use by Catholic contemplatives and mystics down through the ages, the problem of distractions, as well as methods of purification, what is Divine Love, and the 'soul's longings'. Heavily referenced, with liberal use of quotes from Scripture, early Christians, medieval and modern-day saints and writers--all organized and presented logically with a unique and approachable writing style.

Both a scholarly work and a personal one, Making It Personal offers the reader a bird's-eye view of the author's own prayer space, a discussion about forming one's own 'unseen prayer circle', and the author's personal 'Formal Prayer'. Also included is a glossary of terms and several modern-day testimonies of 'divine intervention'.

If you have ever wondered if contemplative prayer was meant for you or not, you need to read this book.

Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity: Essays on the Tragedy of Israel-Palestine

Mindstir Media Publishing — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 02:26:31 +0000

Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity tells the true story of a lifelong supporter of Israel who underwent a remarkable spiritual awakening in which he realized he was as much Muslim or Christian as Jew and as much Palestinian as Israeli or American. Existential fear and confusion, the hallmarks of separate identities, were transformed into compassion and clarity and an unequivocal vision of the roots of suffering spontaneously arose. Recognizing that endless conflict only leads to alienation from our true selves, this book encourages readers to look at the documented history of the Israel-Palestine tragedy and get in touch with how they view and interpret that history. It offers readers a path that leads to freedom from false beliefs, enemy images, and the illusion of identity to equal rights for all people and a just peace between Palestinians and Israelis.

"An astonishing and groundbreaking commentary, Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity is the first book EVER written that explains the root cause of the Israel-Palestine tragedy. Wrestling with the question, "why do normally decent people, who ordinarily believe in justice, support indecency and injustice?", this book provides answers that are critical to a deeper understanding of the human condition and profoundly clarifying in their ability to alleviate the confusion that has permeated the subject for generations. " -J.J. Hebert, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author

Consensual Suicide

Mindstir Media Publishing — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 02:05:26 +0000

How did I get here? I mentioned the diets of most of us born in the south that consisted of pork, beef, chicken, turkey, fish and some wild game. These meats were cooked in lard for the most part or smoked. Desert was a mainstay in our home growing up, which consisted of massive amounts of sugar and lard for the crust of pies. Fat back or ham hocks were used in greens, and real butter in macaroni and cheese. This type of diet has little to no nutritional value because of the way they were prepared. With this type of toxic food consumption comes visits to the doctor. Why you ask? Because of the artery clotting meats and unhealthy fats we say we love and won't do without! Because of the excessive weight gain; which has become uncontrollable! Because of the inability to walk a flight of stairs without being completely winded! We make statements such as "My mother cooked this way and lived to be 90, therefore so can I", this is the attitude taken when someone else takes an interest in one's health. Here are some real facts about the consumption of meats and unhealthy fats, that's worth taken a closer look:
