Book Description
"Marvelous, terrifying fun, especially if you've ever suspected that the world is an unreal construct built solely to keep you from knowing who you really are. Which it is, of course."--"Rolling Stone" Ragle Gumm has a unique job: every day he wins a newspaper contest. And when he isn't consulting his charts and tables, he enjoys his life in a small town in 1959. At least, that's what he thinks. But then strange things start happening. He finds a phone book where all the numbers have been disconnected, and a magazine article about a famous starlet he's never heard of named Marilyn Monroe. Plus, everyday objects are beginning to disappear and are replaced by strips of paper with words written on them like "bowl of flowers" and "soft drink stand." When Ragle skips town to try to find the cause of these bizarre occurrences, his discovery could make him question everything he has ever known.
THE DIVINE TIMEOUT

Book Description
What if the COVID19 Pandemic is really intended as a wake-up call to mankind from God? "The Divine Timeout"! What if it is an opportunity to individually, and collectively, reevaluate our priorities, and place our world and house in order, before God determines our final fate? Perhaps, it will be the end times if we persist in our sinful behavior. Or continued life on earth with remorse and repentance for our malignant and corrupt nature as a world, society, and culture, and begging His Mercy, being the only course determining our future state of existence. Which path would you follow? Proceeding down the same track which mankind as a whole is on now, or the latter following the route of repentance, remorse, forgiveness, and asking for mercy? Only we can determine our own fate. God has provided each of us a Free Will which enables us to determine our actions in this life, be they good or bad. We alone, individually, will determine if our life is judged by the Just God or the Merciful God, and our destination is hell or heaven. God has given us an opportunity to grow ever closer to him. Like the Father in the parable of the prodigal son, God is always ready to rush to us whenever, we want him in our lives, and embrace us with his love and mercy, and take us back to our heavenly home. "For God so loved the world that He sent his only begotten son, so that whoever believes in him will be saved." John 3:16 The word eternal means constant or forever. The Bible refers to the final judgment that God will declare on individuals. This judgment will determine our state for eternity. It's important to realize that all judgment comes through Jesus, the Son of God. "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son" (John 5:22 NKJ). Our decision regarding Jesus determines our eternal judgment. If we accept Jesus as our Lord, we will spend eternity with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If we reject Jesus, as our personal Savior, we will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Notice how unbelievers will be eternally judged: And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. And any one not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Rev. 20:12,15 NKJ) If people do all kinds of good works, but fail to accept Jesus as their personal Savior, they will be judged to spend eternity in the lake of fire which is commonly known as hell. Jesus will also judge Christians for their works while living on the earth (Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10). This judgment shall determine their placement in the Kingdom of God forever. The life we are living now will actually determine our eternal state; this is the meaning of eternal judgment. Please make use of The Divine Timeout to reaffirm, recommit, and rekindle our Faith and Love in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our fellow man, so we will be prepared to meet him upon his Triumphant Return to Earth and eternally enjoy the fruits of his love for us and ours for him in Heaven. God Bless You.

Is Time out of Joint?
Author: Aleida Assmann
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501742450
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Is, as Hamlet once complained, time out joint? Have the ways we understand the past and the future—and their relationship to the present—been reordered? The past, it seems, has returned with a vengeance: as aggressive nostalgia, as traumatic memory, or as atavistic origin narratives rooted in nation, race, or tribe. The future, meanwhile, has lost its utopian glamor, with the belief in progress and hope for a better future eroded by fears of ecological collapse. In this provocative book, Aleida Assmann argues that the apparently solid moorings of our temporal orientation have collapsed within the span of a generation. To understand this profound cultural crisis, she reconstructs the rise and fall of what she calls "time regime of modernity" that underpins notions of modernization and progress, a shared understanding that is now under threat. Is Time Out of Joint? assesses the deep change in the temporality of modern Western culture as it relates to our historical experience, historical theory, and our life-world of shared experience, explaining what we have both gained and lost during this profound transformation.

Time out of Mind
Author: Jo Thomas
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1524678074
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
An eye-witness account of the writers own experience of her journey into the mysterious world of an altered perception not induced by drugs or any stimulus other than the desire for reunion with the beloved other . . . Euridice rather than Orpheus searching the underworld. Mental illness tends to be a taboo subject. It has not often been described by the one who experiences but more often as a case history or as a subject for analysis. Two people from totally different backgrounds meet in 1949. They experience poverty, homelessness, social change in the 50s, and emerge victorious from their struggles. Suddenly, the man dies aged forty-four, leaving his wife with four children when the youngest was two. The womans journey to wholeness explored the labyrinth of madness, a loss of meaning that was further exacerbated in the setting of psychiatric hospitals. She was aware of deeper levels of human history, which emerged unbidden, vividly remembered, and retold as they occur in the context of the events described. Fantasy? As always, with every fiction, some sharp shards of truth are piercing the web. The poems, placed as illustrations in the text, were written at the time of the experience.

Time Out
Author: Cal Mbano
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532096151
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
Time Out: A Second Look at Nature engages readers with an opportunity to ask, examine and ponder critical questions which fundamentally challenge conventional thinking and beliefs about God, nature and our very humanness. It is natural to be curious about such questions but we are trained as children that it is forbidden to ask them. We consider ourselves fortunate to live in the most highly developed technological time that has ever existed. It is almost embarrassing to admit, even to ourselves, that we have doubts regarding the gains of conventional science and technology. Is it no wonder that one of reality TV’s most popular shows is about modern people returning to primitive settings and forming tribes? Is this the only way for contemporary people to understand the basics of what it means to be human; that our earth is a temporary abode and that passing the test of being your brother’s keeper is the only way to ensure happiness here on earth? Cal Mbano, a teacher and naturalist learner invites you to explore the purpose for our existence here on earth through his unique perspective.

The Revelation of St. John the Divine - Volume 2
Author: Herb Fitch
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1467076244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This is the second book of two volumes which completes Herb Fitch's interpretation on The Revelation of St. John the Divine. It was transcribed word for word from the tapes of classes 14 through 25 of the Revelation Seminar he gave in 1970. Over the centuries, John's Revelation was in plain sight, yet, not understood, and the reason is because only the Christ Mind in man can reveal the Truth of Being. Not until the year 1970, did a man (who also experienced the Mind which was in Christ Jesus), sit still in meditation over many months, until, at last, the entire message of the Revelation was revealed once again. That man was Herb Fitch. For those of you who have learned to make that contact with Spirit within, this book will now take you further on the Spiritual path. This book will show you how to let that Spirit take over your life. In other words, it will help you to die out of humanhood and be a transparency for Christ; bringing to you an actual awareness of your own Christhood. It is suggested that you find a quiet place and read only one chapter at a time, until Something calls to you from these pages. Then, put these writings down, and walk away, find a place and sit down to meditate on what has stirred you within. I can tell you with a certainty born of experience that you can walk in another Dimension, right here, and right now, a Kingdom, an inner Temple, not made with hands, incomprehensible to the human mind. It is the Dimension in which your Eternal Self walks. It is the Kingdom in which your Spiritual identity resides. It is an inner Presence, the Spirit, closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet, and it must take over your entire living experience, both within and without. Only then will you be obeying the message, You must be born of the Spirit.
