To have health is to have a balance and harmony between the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and relational aspects of the self. In healing, we endeavor to restore this balance when it has become off kilter. In Christian scripture and liturgy there is a rich history of healing. Healing from the Heart traces the tradition of Christian healing, and explores the mystery of prayer. Church groups interested in beginning a healing ministry will find this an invaluable resource, offering meditation resources, healing services, and well-tested and practical hands-on healing methods.
In the darksome depths of a thick forest lived Kalyb the fell enchantress. Terrible were her deeds, and few there were who had the hardihood to sound the brazen trumpet which hung over the iron gate that barred the way to the Abode of Witchcraft. Terrible were the deeds of Kalyb; but above all things she delighted in carrying off innocent new-born babes, and putting them to death. And this, doubtless, she meant to be the fate of the infant son of the Earl of Coventry, who long long years ago was Lord High Steward of England. Certain it is that the babe's father being absent, and his mother dying at his birth, the wicked Kalyb, with spells and charms, managed to steal the child from his careless nurses. But the babe was marked from the first for doughty deeds; for on his breast was pictured the living image of a dragon, on his right hand was a blood-red cross, and on his left leg showed the golden garter. And these signs so affected Kalyb, the fell enchantress, that she stayed her hand; and the child growing daily in beauty and stature, he became to her as the apple of her eye. Now, when twice seven years had passed the boy began to thirst for honourable adventures, though the wicked enchantress wished to keep him as her own. But he, seeking glory, utterly disdained so wicked a creature; thus she sought to bribe him. And one day, taking him by the hand, she led him to a brazen castle and showed him six brave knights, prisoners therein. Then said she: "Lo! These be the six champions of Christendom. Thou shalt be the seventh and thy name shall be St. George of Merrie England if thou wilt stay with me.
Secrets of the Light: > Provides the Bible student with fresh insight into the many levels of truth encoded in the Bible. > Provides the Biblical scholar with an abundance of references on Bible interpretation. > Provides everyone with an understanding of how “light” has been used in the Bible as a metaphor to pass wisdom down through generations who have often not understood its deeper meaning. In Secrets of the Light, author Flora E. Paul first relates how her own evolution of religious understanding brought greater personal peace and fulfillment. She then explores the meaning she has discovered hidden in plain sight within the symbolism used by the Bible. She explains how the same profound truths are being provided to us through many different sources. Secrets of the Light also provides an introduction to Theosophy, an ancient blending of science and religion that gained wide attention early this century as the controversial Madame Blavatsky promoted it around the world. As one of few books examining Theosophy that is not published by the Theosophical Society, it speaks truthfully about differing biblical interpretations within the movement and how they compare with both modern scientific fact and mainstream Christian teachings.
