Book Description
Excerpt from Spiritual Evolution and the Bible Is it true that the Bible refutes all argu ments in favor of Evolution, and that, as some say, the Darwinian hypothesis is an obstacle to a belief in God and likewise in Christ as the Son of God? Because man perceives a little more of the magnitude of God's vast power and has a more definite idea of the meaning of infinity and eternity of time, does he reverence the creator of the universe and the author and finisher of his being the less? Does he fail to acknowledge God's rule in his life because all the laws of nature reveal His methods? Surely any advance in fathoming the mysteries of the universe should be enlightenment to man, even though he realizes that the forces and processes of the material world do not por tray God's spirit but are merely manifesta tions of His power. We need not know the details of the theory of Evolution to believe in the general principle, for the world before us is saturated with proof of the struggle upward, and not only physically but spirit.

Book Description
This book is one of a kind. It traces the history of human awareness of God and belief back to its earliest roots, long before the Bible, the Koran, the Upanishads and other writings. It shows how the foundation for belief in God was contained within the instant of creation itself. Scientists call this the big bang. It shows that as the universe developed there came a point in human development where we had the capability to begin to be aware of an afterlife. These ideas were primitive by our standards today but they served to create a solid foundation for increasing complex and more thorough understandings of who God is and our relationship with Him. This book covers the well known axial age where there was a watershed or flood of prophets and holy men who advanced understandings of both philosophy and theology and science in the hundreds of years before the coming of Jesus Christ. In a real sense they prepared the way for God s son and His gospel. It is these men who changed the course of human understanding of God with new revolutionary ideas that advanced the self revelation of God to humankind. The last part of the book looks at religion today and how we got here and ends with God s view of humanity as we constantly strive toward God on our individual spiritual journeys.

Book Description
Excerpt from Evolution Illuminating the Bible IT is evident that the material views advanced by our leading men of science are causing a class of Christians much anxiety. One object I had in writing this volume was to draw the attention of this class to the fact that our Lord clearly advanced such views, when he defined man in his natural state as a unit of Body and Mind - graphicly classed by Him as that which is born of the Flesh is Flesh, - put in contrast with the new sentiment conversion imparts, defined as one born of the Spirit, Spirit. - ]ohn iii. 6. He was instructing Nicodemus on this vital principle of Christianity, who recognised Jesus as a teacher come from God, and came to be taught by Him. Nicodemus, like many in our day, who are startled by materialism, was greatly amazed when informed of the necessity of being born again before he could see the kingdom of heaven. But such is the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Spiritual Evolution or Regeneration: The Law and Process for Unfolding the Christ in Consciousness These Private Lessons in Practical Christian Metaphysics are offered to the public in response to many requests from our students, some of whom came into the Spiritual Consciousness through them. They are offered in the same spirit of assurance in which they have always been given in class work. Their didactic form comes from this first use of them as the necessity of class teaching. And we have allowed this form to remain, because we conceive it quite possible, that this may prove the more effective way to impart the basic principles of Truth to any reader, who will consider himself a student while reading them. We have made certain portions of the Bible the basis of our reasoning; because those portions contain the essential and fundamental principles of the philosophy of the eternal order of all Evolution, whether Cosmical or Spiritual.

Book Description
Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our needs, allowed it to transform us? That's exactly the idea behind Life with God, Richard J. Foster's much-anticipated book on the Bible. Foster, bestselling author of Celebration of Discipline and general editor of The RenovarÉ Spiritual Formation Bible, claims that God has superintended the writing of Scripture so that it serves as the most reliable guide for Christian spiritual formation. According to Foster, the Bible is all about human life "with God." As we read Scripture, we should consider how exactly God is with us in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. By opening our whole selves—mind, body, spirit, thoughts, behavior, and will—to the page before us, we begin to grasp all the Bible has to teach about prayer, obedience, compassion, virtue, and grace and apply it to our everyday lives to achieve a deeper relationship with God. With a wealth of examples and simple yet crucial insights, Life with God is an indispensable guide to approaching the Bible through the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary appreciation, or religious instruction.

Excerpt from The Bible and the Doctrine of Evolution: Being a Complete Synthesis of Their Truth, and Giving a Sure Scientific Basis for the Doctrines of Scripture It does not seem to be sufficiently understood that Evolution owes much more to Mr. Spencer than to Mr. Darwin: the latter only developed part of the Doctrine, never perceived its relation to the whole nor its purely scientific interpretation. The works of the former are therefore most referred to here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
