Book Description
The conversations are imaginary as the title says. The meeting place is purgatory, or Summerland. The people here (men) have survived the grave. That is a big issue. Many who died are atheists and can hardly believe they are still alive, and they linger in the corners up there until their minds are clear. Women are separated from the men. They are being treated in another part of purgatory. The average time a person spends there is about 150 years. So that is a lot of time for most of them to

Tea with Freud
Author: Steven B. Sandler
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457544032
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Why are you so worried and anxious? Why are you so relentlessly critical of yourself? Why do you repeatedly get involved with the wrong people? Can psychotherapy help with these matters? And if so, how does it help? Tea with Freud is an invitation to go behind the closed door of the psychotherapist’s office to get an insider’s look at common emotional problems and their treatment. Listen to the verbatim dialogue of actual people in therapy, and learn about an effective approach to resolving their difficulties. Visit with Sigmund Freud himself in turn-of-the-century Vienna, and hear an imaginary but illuminating debate with Freud about what helps people to make changes and recover their psychological health. You may be surprised to learn that the answers to many psychological struggles can still be found in Freud’s original ideas, as well as in modern findings from psychology, child development, and memory research. Part case study, part fiction, this book is a readable, entertaining introduction to some of the most important ideas—old and new—in the field of psychotherapy. It will change the way you think about the nature of emotions, the root of emotional suffering, and the effectiveness of modern “talk therapy.”

My Imaginary Conversation with Joe Rogan About Christianity, the Supernatural, and Little Green Men
Author: Kevin Cortez
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Many sincere Christians are misreading culture, and as a result, they are having difficulty with their faith. So, what is going on? It is said that comedy reflects the current culture, and many people now look to comedians not just to make fun of the world but to make sense of it. Joe Rogan, the host of the world’s #1 podcast, is one of the most influential comedians and media personalities. With over 11 million listeners per episode, Rogan’s audience is four times larger than all the top prime-time cable TV hosts combined. This book was inspired by a podcast episode in which Joe Rogan shared his views on Christianity. To date, not a single guest on Rogan’s show has responded adequately to his misconceptions about the Christian faith. Thus, the other side of the story has not been presented to his millions of listeners. In “My Imaginary Conversation with Joe Rogan About Christianity, the Supernatural, and Little Green Men: A Survival Guide for Living in a Post-Christian Culture,” Kevin Cortez gives a compelling response to Rogan’s mistaken opinions. As you read, you will discover how to respond to those who malign your beliefs amicably. The author takes complex theological concepts and presents them in a way that is easy to understand and apply to everyday life. He draws on a wide range of historical, philosophical, and scientific sources to build his case, and his analysis is rigorous and well-supported. He addresses many of the common criticisms of Christianity, such as its role in unfair atrocities and its perceived irrelevance in the face of modern science. He offers insightful responses that challenge readers to rethink their assumptions. The book is divided into fourteen chapters and five “Survival Guides,” each addressing a different aspect of Christianity's most commonly misunderstood concepts. It navigates a range of topics, including morality, science, philosophy, and history, to demonstrate Christianity's enduring relevance and importance in our contemporary world. Each chapter includes simple questions encouraging readers to reflect on their own beliefs and attitudes toward God. In addition to using scripture to support his claims, Cortez uses his forty years of personal experiences and encounters within the Christian subculture to illustrate his points. Perhaps most notably, he is unafraid to tackle controversial issues, such as the miraculous, New Atheism, psychedelics, UFOs/aliens, The Big Bang Theory, speaking in tongues, the “born gay” question, the prosperity gospel, and demonology. His thought-provoking perspective is refreshingly nuanced and balanced. Whether you are a lifelong Christian or just beginning to explore faith, this book will deepen your understanding of God and give you a wealth of biblical references and theological concepts to build a God-centered life that can withstand the challenges of living in this post-Christian culture. Overall, for anyone interested in exploring the relevance and importance of Christianity in the modern world, Cortez's careful analysis, engaging writing, and personal reflections make this book a must-read for believers and skeptics alike.

Change
Author: Simon Oliver
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1425121845
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This novel called CHANGE is an unusual but enlightening tale - it is an autobiography channelled from beyond the change we call death - a life story and an afterlife story which spans several decades and even more locations on Earth and beyond to the Astral and Spirit planes - describing some of the multi-dimensional levels of human existence. It is a fast-paced, roller coaster ride through the vivid and hedonistic 1960's and '70's in London and to 1980's war-torn Africa. It tells of one man's intense and adventurous life, his death and his descent into a personal hell before his eventual self-discovery. We learn how Change - the universal constant - touches this man in such a way that it has many different effects on both him and everyone who meets him. Running in parallel throughout the book is the present day life and loves of the medium - a psychic young man who channels the story from the discarnate and mysterious spirit who is the main character of the book and whose chronicle the story is. Above all, this is a human tale and it contains some of the worst and best examples of human qualities - the potential for which we all possess. CHANGE is about life and death - and life after death - and the inexorable inevitability of Change itself on all levels of existence. These are subjects that affect and concern us all.
