Have you ever been confused by the Trinity? Many great theologians have made this doctrine the centerpiece of our Christian faith. But most of us, truth be told, accept the Trinity as mystery because we have a hard time understanding it. The Trinity is an observation from a philosophical and scientific point of view that keeps one immune to heresy but few can explain it with confidence! Maybe we have overcomplicated things! I believe God has a heart of simplicity. When Jesus walked the earth, He used everyday ideas that simple people like you and I could grasp. I have entitled this book “Heaven's Dynasty”, and I believe this message will warm your heart and satisfy your soul. It is a journey that explains how the Trinity has upheld the most vital truth of Christianity for the last millennium and a half, but has inadvertently missed an important emphasis: the generational relationship between a Father and Son. This book is the story of how the Father is restoring the kingdom of God to earth through His Son Jesus!
Few realize the power available to all who will worship as act of devotion- not just emotion.

The truths found in this book will help you bring heaven to earth on a daily basis.
The publication of the Vatican II document on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) was an exciting and challenging moment for the Church. While honouring the tradition, it also marked a quite dramatic development in the Church's attitude to modern critical analysis of the Bible and encouraged study and reflection on it by all members of the Church. The golden jubilee of its publication is a timely moment for a book such as this. It contains essays on various aspects of Dei Verbum by authors from around the world. They write from the perspective of their respective disciplines of biblical studies, patristics, theology, liturgy, philosophy, and communications media. They situate the document within the Jewish-Christian tradition, assess its reception since Vatican II, and its implications for the future.
Jesus told Peter, “...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). The disciples of Jesus understood that the gates were gateways in which the elders of the city would sit and judge. The decisions made at these gates had authoritative power over regions. Jesus was saying that the decisions made in hell would not prevail against the decisions made on earth by His people! Cities, Gates and Elders examines the deeper meaning of the Scriptures in light of the culture in which they were written, calling us to fulfill the ancient blessing, "And thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies" (Genesis 22:17).
