The Genesis Factor
Author: Ben Lerner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780985135973
Category : Health
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The context for The Genesis Factor is the setting of the book of Genesis from the Bible. It's based upon the realization that we were originally created by God and placed in a beautiful, plentiful, and natural setting to thrive as His children. So, because our foundation is of natural substance, when we put unnatural substances in our body, the results are...you've got it...unnatural! Your Genesis Factor means you can be made new; you can be restored; you can be made whole and get your form back; and that Jesus is looking for you to do it, and He's ready to help! This Genesis Factor doesn't just make biblical sense. It makes scientific sense as well. Every day, millions of cells are dying and being replaced by millions of new ones. But did you know that if put in the wrong state, living the wrong lifestyle--dying, sick cells are replaced by more dying, sick cells? The good news is that if you've been building disease and fat, through the principle of the Genesis Factor, you can now build health and burn fat. It's God's physiological grace and metabolic mercy. No matter where you are with your health today, you can be made new--or "newer" by tapping in to the Genesis Factor. In this program, we're going to reveal to you the best, easiest, and fastest possible ways to maximize fitness, optimize leanness, and eat right for your hormones--all as an essential plan to upgrade and/or restore wellness.

The Gnostic Gospels
Author: Elaine Pagels
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588364178
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time The Gnostic Gospels is a landmark study of the long-buried roots of Christianity, a work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal. First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Gnostic Gospels has continued to grow in reputation and influence over the past two decades. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time. In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today. With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of “Christianities” emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment—and access to God—within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary—or worthy—expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed—and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. Brilliant, provocative, and stunning in its implications, The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.

Book Description
A National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author deepens and refreshes our view of early Christianity while casting a disturbing light on the evolution of the attitudes passed down to us. "Confirms her reputation as both a scholar and a popular interpreter.... Continuously rewarding and illuminating." —The New York Times How did the early Christians come to believe that sex was inherently sinful? When did the Fall of Adam become synonymous with the fall of humanity? What turned Christianity from a dissident sect that championed the integrity of the individual and the idea of free will into the bulwark of a new imperial order—with the central belief that human beings cannot not choose to sin? In this provocative masterpiece of historical scholarship Elaine Pagels re-creates the controversies that racked the early church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom, and sin as embodied in the story of Genesis. And she shows how what was once heresy came to shape our own attitudes toward the body and the soul.
