Blood. What comes to mind when you hear that word? Pain, injury, or even death? The Bible's perspective on blood is quite the opposite. Leviticus 17:11 declares that “the life is in the blood.” Scripture equates blood with life! The topic of blood, and specifically the blood of Jesus Christ, isn't frequently addressed nor well understood. There is forgiveness, redemption, peace, cleansing, overcoming power, and so much more, in the blood of Jesus. It's all in His blood! In this book, which is a collection of transcribed teachings by Pastor Leonard Gardner, you will embark on a fascinating journey that will take you to the earliest times in human history, to the torture and crucifixion of Jesus, and into the inner workings of blood in the human body. Along the way, you will uncover and understand amazing truths regarding the blood of Jesus, and how it can literally transform your life!
Best-selling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius.

Shlain asserts that Leonardo’s genius came from a unique creative ability that allowed him to understand and excel in a wide range of fields. From here Shlain jumps off and discusses the history of and current research on human creativity that involves different modes of thinking and neuroscience .The author also boldly speculates on whether or not the qualities of Leonardo’s brain and his creativity presage the future evolution of the human species. Leonardo’s Brain uses da Vinci as a starting point for an exploration of human creativity. With his lucid style, and his remarkable ability to discern connections in a wide range of fields, Shlain brings the reader into the world of history’s greatest mind. .
