Book Description
As Light Before Dawn explores the mystical thought of Isaac ben Samuel of Akko, a major medieval kabbalist whose work has until now received relatively little attention. Through consideration of an extensive literary corpus, including much that still remains in manuscript, this study examines an array of themes and questions that have great applicability to the comparative study of mysticism and the broader study of religion. These include prayer and the nature of mystical experience; meditative concentration directed to God; and the power of mental intention, authority, creativity, and the transmission of wisdom.

Book Description
Growing up in a tranquil wilderness, Teal Swan had a childhood that was anything but serene. Horrors lurked behind the façade of the perfect houses and pious community of the surrounding towns, and Teal attracted undue attention because of her unusually powerful extrasensory abilities. At the hands of a local cult member, she barely survived 13 years of horrendous abuse – and even after her escape, she was left powerless, lost, hurting, and with no way to cope. Gradually, and incredibly, Teal forged her way from the edge of despair to a sliver of light . . .and eventually emerged from the darkness into the full dawn of self-love. Here, she shows how you, too, can achieve the feelings of worthiness that may be long missing from your life. Now a recognized spiritual luminary, Teal documents how she dug herself out of self-hate, and details the remarkable trail for others to get to the same place. Shadows Before Dawn encompasses both Teal’s compelling story, told with raw intensity, and her resolute, no-nonsense how-to guide to healing from even the deepest levels of suffering. Offering a comprehensive self-love tool kit, Teal shares powerful exercises, insights, and perspective grounded in spirituality, and lets you choose which techniques are right for you. Teal’s resonating words will sit with your soul long after you put this book down and will serve as guideposts on the way to complete self-love – no matter who you are or where you are in life.

Book Description
The Christian church was always destined to find its way to China. Long before the birth of the church, China existed, coalescing around profound philosophical concepts and powerful cultural symbols. It developed into a dynamic and enduring civilization. In time, Christian missionaries arrived on its shores, driven to bring the gospel to this people. This book starts with the story of that journey: the arrival of the missionaries who planted the seeds of the gospel in Chinese soil. As the seeds sprouted and grew, a new story of a unique and distinct Chinese church began. The epic narrative opens from uncertain beginnings in darkness, passes through intense hardship and years of struggle, and culminates with the triumphal emergence of the Chinese church from the shadows into the light of the global stage.

Book Description
Sunshine Before the Dawn by Judy Satori June 2012 ISBN 978-0-9856730-0-0 Sunshine Before the Dawn reads and appears like work of fiction, but it’s not! The author, Judy Satori is an energy healer and spiritual teacher. She speaks and transmits a higher-dimensional Language of Light. For many years she has worked with beings from other worlds and other dimensions of reality and it is they who have telepathically transmitted this inter-dimensional love and adventure story. Chapter one begins around one hundred thousand years ago, as the Galactic Council of our Milky Way Galaxy meet on the star Antares to discuss a problem concerning Earth. They are concerned that the beings of Earth cannot move beyond their third dimensional confinement, and so evolve in consciousness. They propose that an upgraded version of the human being be created, with each of the Star Nations within the 12 dimensions of what is known as the lower heavenly worlds, contributing an aspect of their genetic code to the new hu-man. ‘Hu’ is a sound that means God and it is determined by the Galactic Council that the new hu-man being of the Earth be a spiritual being, to be given the genetic capacity to one day evolve to move beyond the physical confinement of Earth, and traverse all 12 dimensions of reality in what is called the lower heavenly worlds. A woman from the Galactic Council, Essayenya from the star Sirius, is tasked with the responsibility of working together with a team from Sirius and Lyra, as well as with the Elohim, the creator aspect of God, to create the new prototype hu-man to be seeded on the Earth. Essayenya, from fifth dimensional Sirius is in love with Mosteenya, the leader of the Galactic Council, from 12th dimensional Lyra, but because of the differences in vibration between these two dimensional worlds they seem destined to remain apart. Essayenya and others of her team from Sirius, journey to Lyra to work together with the Lyran women, who weave the Dreamtime Strands of Creation. They are to decide how the new hu-man should best be created. Romance blossoms between Essayenya and Mosteenya, but it seems they can never be together, unless Essayenya comes to Earth, to take into her own soul DNA the new hu-man genetic code. This story has been brought through from higher-dimensional spiritual beings at this time to help us all understand our Lineage of Light, and that we all came here from the stars. All human beings on the Earth now hold the more advanced 12 strand DNA hu-man genome that was created around 100,000 years ago. This DNA capacity has until now only been potential. It was not able to be activated while the Earth remained within a third dimensional energy domain. However, it has long been prophesized that in December 2012, the Earth will be advanced to a fifth dimensional, faster pulsating consciousness and vibration. This shift in frequency will trigger the activation of previously dormant DNA potential and a massive consciousness upgrade for Earth and her people. As Earth comes of age, we, who once came to Earth from various Star Nations, are being triggered to remember where we came from and why we are here on Earth. As soul DNA memory is reactivated, people everywhere are being empowered to step into greater personal and spiritual mastery and actualize dormant soul potential to together create a new world order of peace and love. Sunshine Before the Dawn is a novel. It is an exciting, action packed mystery and adventure story, but also includes much previously unknown spiritual information. Essayenya, the Siriun leader of the team tasked with creating the new hu-man specie journeys to Earth, to the ancient lands of Atlantis and Mu. There in the sacred place of prayer for the people of Mu, a land deep in the southern seas of the Earth, she is given a ‘key’, spiritual energy words that are only NOW, at the end of four Great Ages of Earth time of around 100,000 years, being triggered to come forth.
