"The Miracle Workers Handbook: Seven Levels of Power and Manifestation of the Virgin Mary" (ISBN: 9781846949203) by Sherrie Dillard, and published by John Hunt Publishing O Books, explains the seven phases of Mary's life as a blueprint for all people to experience divine intuitive communication, synchronicity, grace, miracles and ascension.

Author Sherrie Dillard, a professional intuitive and medium, is no stranger to religion. Her mother and one of her brothers are Methodist ministers and her other brother is a Catholic theologian and head of the religion department at a Catholic University. Through her unique perspective as an intuitive and medium, Sherrie presents a groundbreaking viewpoint of the Virgin Mary. Mary, she explains, is a saint for all people. Christians, Buddhists, pagans, Muslims and spiritual seekers alike find common ground is this new revelation of Mary.

After recounting some of her often funny early intuitive experiences and her encounters with Mary, Sherrie discusses what she believes to be Mary's true message. Living in a strict Jewish community where woman were considered second class citizens, Mary shifted the prevailing concept of God as a judging, moralistic and male outer force to that of an inner spiritual presence. When she invoked the power of the heavens and miraculously conceived, Mary created a new paradigm. God became the divine loving spirit of grace and miracles that can be found within. The miraculous conception was not a one-time only event. All people, Sherrie affirms, have the innate ability to intuitively communicate with angels, experience synchronicity, live in grace and co-create miracles.

Of the Miracle Workers Handbook, Margaret L. Starbird, author of "The Feminine Face of Christianity" and "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar," writes: "Sherrie Dillard's new book presents spiritual truths to bless today's pilgrims learning to trust the spiritual guidance of intuition and synchronicity. Stories she shares about the miraculous are illustrations of a clear connection to the 'Way' of radical trust in the 'Divine Presence' in every facet of our human experience."

Joanna Macy Ph.D., author of "World As Lover, World As Self," says: "Everything that Sherrie Dillard writes has the ring of authenticity that comes with great beauty and spiritual depth."

Sherrie is the author of the best-selling "Discover Your Psychic Type" (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2008) of which Business Reed Information said: "Lifelong psychic Dillard (intuition development, Duke Univ.) offers up a genuinely satisfying work on developing psychic abilities well beyond the typical if-I-can-do-it, you-can-too!"

Her book "Love and Intuition" (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2010) explores how to develop intuition in one of the most spiritual aspects of life: love and relationships. SingleWomenRule.com wrote "The book that can turn your love life around," and Suite 101 wrote, "This book is a keeper!"

As an intuitive and medium, Sherrie has a busy international clientele. Her writing has appeared in national magazines and she has been featured on radio and television for her innovative books and her work as a psychic detective and medium. She has taught intuition development classes at Duke University, Miraval Resort and in Latin America and Europe. Her passion for the fusion of intuition, spirituality and conscious self-growth has made her a popular speaker and teacher at retreats and conferences both nationally and internationally. Sherrie holds a B.S. in Psychology and M.Div. in New Thought pastoral counseling.

A Powerful New Spiritual Voice Emerges at Glaspath.com

Author: Linda Glas
Dateline: Escondido, California (ESCONDIDO, Calif.)  | Mon, 21 Nov 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Unexplained thoughts and sensations await readers of 'The 22 Best Kept Secrets of All Time,' a 22-book set of beautifully illustrated e-books, holding within a lifetime of searching, learning, and discovering by author Reverend Linda Glas.”



A R T I C L E:

Unexplained thoughts and sensations await readers of "The 22 Best Kept Secrets of All Time," a 22-book set of beautifully illustrated e-books, holding within a lifetime of searching, learning, and discovering by author Reverend Linda Glas.

Never one to accept the "norm" when it comes to knowing and living her spiritual life, Reverend Glas was prompted, by God, to make this information open to anyone desiring to know what is REALLY going on in our world and explains why some worldwide disasters have and will continue to happen.

As the world has been slowly overcome by chaos, behind the scenes Reverend Linda Glas has been quietly going about her business. Her business is educating people about the urgency to prepare for the end of days, otherwise known as The Rapture/end of time.

Rev. Glas has worked tirelessly to interpret content for you, the seekers of spiritual truths and concepts. The facts gathered in her 40-year quest had to be interpreted from mountains of ancient documents, astrology and especially the Bible - then proven by current scientific findings in physics, biology, mathematics, and even art. One of her greatest gifts is the ability to decipher confusing Biblical script, especially the Book of Revelation, where she reveals hidden messages we need to know about the beginning of our world, war in heaven, and the future that awaits us.

Her website, www.glaspath.com is full of more information than most single-topic books. In fact, she has been given such a tremendous amount of information that she had to decide how much of it to include in these works. For that reason, there are several books with two parts (each e-book is over 400 pages!), so the readers get tons of value for a small price - $8.88 (per title). Sample chapters of the completed books can be downloaded from her site. Other e-books will be added upon completion.

Customers can be assured they are getting the best, most reliable news about:
* The end of the world as we know it (it is not 2012);
* What happens when and after we die?
* Is the antichrist here yet?
* What exactly do we have to do to prepare for our final exit from life on Earth?
* What part animals play in the grand scheme;
* Time is speeding up;
* And many more topics that will shock you.

In addition to her site, her editor has a blog - http://www.glaspath.com/bloggy/ - where all the funny, weird, strange, blessed, troublesome and surprising events occurred during the last eight years of preparing this work. And, they continue to this day!

INITIAL BOOK TITLES AND ISBNs:
Book 1: Your 181 Goodie Bag Gifts From God (ISBN: 978-0-984-3163-0-4);
Book 2: Your True Twin Sole Love (ISBN: 978-0-984-3163-1-1);
Book 3: Breaking The Astrological Code of the Bible Reveals the Rapture (Part One & Two) (ISBN: 978-0-984-3163-2-8);
Book 4: The Double Cross Curse - The Fall of the Angels that Created the Fall of Man (ISBN: 978-0-984-3163-3-5);
Book 6: The Blood of the Angels (ISBN: 978-0-984-3163-5-9).

Skull Church Heads to Missoula – Monthly Event Hits the Road for Two Days at Wilma Theatre

Author: Fresh Life Church
Dateline: Kalispell, Montana (KALISPELL, Mont.)  | Thu, 08 Sep 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Since its beginnings in summer 2009, Skull Church has delivered killer concerts from popular Christian artists and a clear gospel message to the Flathead Valley. Named for the place of Christ's crucifixion, Skull Hill, the monthly event is regularly held at the Liberty and Strand Theatres in Kalispell. Fresh Life Church produces Skull Church events.”



A R T I C L E:

Since its beginnings in summer 2009, Skull Church has delivered killer concerts from popular Christian artists and a clear gospel message to the Flathead Valley. Named for the place of Christ's crucifixion, Skull Hill, the monthly event is regularly held at the Liberty and Strand Theatres in Kalispell. This month, for the first time, the event will be taken on the road for two days to the historic Wilma Theater in Missoula. Fresh Life Church produces Skull Church events.

Taking place Sept. 16 and 17, Skull Church Missoula will feature two highly anticipated bands, Blindside and Family Force 5, with the cornerstone of the night being a raw and relevant gospel message from Levi Lusko.

"Skull Church has always been a platform to spread the message that the most beautiful thing to ever happen in history occurred in a place of death-God died in our place," says Lusko. "We've broadcast that message through the monthly Skull Church event, on the Web, and radio, now we're amplifying it through the speakers at the Wilma. We'd like to see every one of those 1,067 theatre seats filled with people hearing the gospel."

Skull Church has become an impressive platform for live music, and the Missoula event will be no different. Attendees can expect state of the art audio and visual technology, along with an experience that rivals most mainstream concerts, but the focus isn't the show.

"The platform may be intense, the music and media aggressive, but the heart of the night is to lead the audience into a better understanding of who Jesus Christ is and what he did on the cross," says Executive Pastor Coy Trammel.

Although the edgy format and use of technology typically draws a younger generation, Skull Church is for everyone.

"Skull Church isn't your grandmother's church, but she's welcome too," says Lusko.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the evening kicking off at 7:00 p.m. both nights. Skull Church Missoula is a free event specifically for a generation that does not know God, isn't necessarily "into" church, and desperately needs Jesus. The primary focus of the night will be to bring a culturally applicable, explicit gospel message.

"We are humbled by the response to Skull Church but we are not identified by how many are inside the church, but instead by how many are outside," states Lusko. "Our vision is to see those stranded in sin find life and liberty in Jesus Christ."

For those who can't make it, Skull Church Missoula will be broadcast online through a high definition webcast at www.skullchurch.com - and streamed live on Fresh Life Radio at www.freshliferadio.com. For more information about Skull Church, call Fresh Life Church at 406.257.3339.

About Skull Church:

Skull Church is a ground-breaking, evangelistic monthly event centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Produced by Fresh Life Church and based in Kalispell, Montana, Skull Church was launched in June of 2009 and occurs on the first Wednesday of every month. Further information can be found at www.skullchurch.com .

Gingrich Foundation Honors Catholic Charities USA as Charity of the Month

Author: Gingrich Foundation
Dateline: Washington, District of Columbia (WASHINGTON, D.C.)  | Wed, 05 Jan 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “This January, as part of its ongoing Charity of the Month program, the Gingrich Foundation honors Catholic Charities USA for its outstanding legacy of service to those in need.”



A R T I C L E:

This January, as part of its ongoing Charity of the Month program, the Gingrich Foundation honors Catholic Charities USA for its outstanding legacy of service to those in need.

Formed in 1910 to be the "attorney for the poor," Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), is now one of the largest social service networks in the country. CCUSA invests donations in programs and services that further its national mission: to provide service to people in need, to advocate for justice in social structures, and to call the entire Church and other people of good will to do the same.

Catholic Charities provides food, shelter, clothing, counseling, direct financial assistance, and other emergency services to over 9 million people each year, regardless of religious, social, or economic background. Inspired by the social teachings of the Catholic Church, CCUSA advocates for the inherent dignity of all human beings to ensure that each have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

"The Gingrich Foundation is pleased to support Catholic Charities USA in their effort to reduce poverty and empower communities," said Callista Gingrich, President of the Gingrich Foundation. "Newt and I encourage others to join us in supporting the mission of this worthy organization and extend a hand to those in need."

"We are deeply appreciative and very honored to begin the new year by being selected by the Gingrich Foundation as the Charity of the Month for January, 2011," said Rev. Larry Snyder, President and CEO of Catholic Charities USA. "We have just completed our Centennial year and the introduction of new legislation - the National Opportunity and Community Renewal Act - to address poverty in this nation. The timing couldn't be more perfect to receive the support and broad endorsement of our work by the Foundation. It will take our message and our mission to a broader audience. We are extremely grateful."

Catholic Charities USA has set a goal to reduce poverty in America by 50% by 2020. The organization amplifies local actions into a bold voice that teaches, shares, and encourages new solutions to reduce poverty in America. Despite significant increases in requests for assistance and decreases in financial support, the resolve and dedication of Catholic Charities' volunteers and staff has not wavered.

The Gingrich Foundation is a domestic non-profit corporation founded by Callista and Newt Gingrich to support charitable purposes.

Another demonstration and parade will be held outside Yankee Stadium during the Papal address there from 1-4 p.m., on Sunday, April 20. FPRP is holding these events to voice another view of religion, international politics, and civil rights.

Forum for the Protection of Religious PluralismFPRP is devoted to raising public awareness of religions that have been victimized by aggressive proselytization campaigns that are grounded in religious exclusivism, which is there is only one way to God and all other ways are wrong and even evil that needs to be destroyed. Catholic, Evangelical and Pentecostal Christians looking to increase their numbers at any cost have had tremendous success in recruiting new converts by closely linking social services with deceptive and exploitative proselytizing. For example, schools have been built by evangelicals in other countries to provide an education to the poor, but the schools have also sought to persuade the children that their parents' spiritual beliefs are wrong and that Christianity is the only true religion. During natural calamities (tsunamis, earthquakes etc), services to the distressed are attached to proselytization campaigns. Weaker sections of the societies are targeted creating hatred, disharmony and tearing apart communities that lived together for thousands of years.

These campaigns are funded through a combination of donations from churchgoers and government support, are still being conducted around the world with little interference. Such acts of intolerance violate the religious freedoms of many ancient traditions, and the FPRP is holding its events to bring attention to the injustices faced by them.

According to the events' organizers, religious exclusivism is at the root of religious injustice and sectarian violence around the world. This includes 9/11, Rwanda and other genocides, stolen generations of native cultures, suppression of women, gays as well as many lesser known violations committed in the name of God. In Bangalore suburb, new Christian converts from slum areas who were told by missionaries that their old neighbors worship demons put crosses at every street corner of the community of non-Christians and replaced their street names with Christian saints names. Residents live in fear as hostilities mount.

"We represent faiths, including several Christian denominations, that do not support proselytization and view the practice of it as a complete contradiction of their beliefs," says Jonas Trinkunas from the World Congress of Ethnic Religions (WCER), one of the organizations that is sponsoring the event. "When the members of the U.N. say that they support religious freedom and then give privileged treatment to the leader of a religion that regularly endorses deceptive proselytization campaigns at the expense of others, we feel that we are being penalized for remaining true to our faiths. If religious freedom is going to be shared by everyone, this unequal treatment must stop."

While this event is designed to focus on the rights of minority ethnic religions, other groups are encouraged to participate regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds. Hindu Collective Initiative of North America representing many Hindu temples and organizations is supporting the event. Religious groups such as Buddhists, Druids, Greek, Hindus, Romuva, Slavics, Wiccan, and other ethnic religions from Europe, Africa and various parts of the Americas have already confirmed their attendance at the demonstration, and the organizers are hoping that more groups will participate.

"We are not against any religion," says Satyanarayana Dosapati, one of the organizers of the event. "But the religious freedoms of cultures are being abused in many countries and their ancient traditions are being lost at an alarming rate. Mahatma Gandhi called proselytizations conducted by missionaries as the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth. We can no longer afford to live in a world in which some religions spend billions of dollars each year to spread intolerance and injustice under the guise of humanitarian aid while ancient traditions disappear as the result. If religious pluralism is to have a future, we must act now."

FPRP plan to submit a petition signed by members of all religious groups to UN Secretary General calling for more active role by UN in protecting all the World religions and cultures.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Dec. 6 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today's speech by Governor Romney was in response to concerns many have about Mormonism. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the fourth largest church in the USA, is one of the world's fastest growing, (approximately 300,000 new converts each year). It is also one of the least well understood. Many people respect and admire the members, but have problems with their understanding of doctrines and history. Reactions range from curiosity to animosity, says author Walter Scott.

There is a serious information gap. No politician can, or should have to publicly discuss his religion in enough detail to educate the open-minded and also deal with intolerance. For people to declare a major religion a non-Christian cult, because it doesn't accept their creeds, is weird, to use their word. The logical extension of that argument would result in all followers of Christ prior to 300 A.D. being classified as non-Christians! The tone and remarks of some set a dangerous political precedent, and are unfair to Mormons.

We can only hope to overcome this gap by comprehensive information.

What are the commonalities and differences with other Christians? Some beliefs are different. Why? Mormons have been more successful than most in resisting the drift away from traditional values and moral standards, and the attacks on the family. Why? What are the reasons behind our beliefs and practices?

We hope for understanding, not necessarily agreement. This situation has given us the attention of many, an essential requirement for educating them and correcting misconceptions, the author observes.
