Philippa Lubbock tells the wonderful story of how one of today's foremost healers, Dr Jeff Levin, came to understand that he was being given a special message - and the gift of practising and teaching this extraordinarily powerful new vibrational healing method. In the course of her account she explains how the healing system works. The mind controls the body, with the result that self-limiting beliefs and repressed feelings are the real root cause of illness. The corollary of this is that everything we need to heal is actually within us. Life Alignment works with the individual's higher consciousness - which is accessed through muscle testing and dowsing - to ascertain the root causes of th...

In this new and substantially expanded Third Edition, Philip Jenkins continues to illuminate the remarkable expansion of Christianity in the global South--in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Drawing upon the extensive new scholarship that has appeared on this topic in recent years, he asks how the new Christianity is likely to affect the poor, among whom it finds its most devoted adherents. How should we interpret the enormous success of prosperity churches across the Global South? Politically, what will be the impact of new Christian movements? Will Christianity contribute to liberating the poor, to give voices to the previously silent, or does it threaten only to bring new kinds of divisio...

Given the record levels of diseases of despair in America today, especially in our younger generations, the health benefits of faith and spirituality sho...

The contributors to Divine Love cover a broad spectrum of world religions, comparing and contrasting approaches among Christians of several denominations, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and adherents of traditional African religions. Each chapter focuses on the definition and conceptual boundaries of divine love; its expression and experience; its instrumentality and salience; how it can become distorted, and how it has been made manifest or restored by great historic exemplars of altruism, compassion, and unlimited love. The ultimate aim for many of the world’s major faith traditions is to love and be loved by God—to live in connection with the Divine, in union with the Beloved, in r...
