What exactly is spiritual development? Is it about being happy, becoming wise, finding yourself, finding the right religion, or discovering a deeper purpose? "Spiritual Development for Beginners" clarifies this complex idea and offers friendly guidance to anyone-religious or not-embarking on this great adventure. Emphasizing spiritual growth as a universal and personal process, the authors offer mystical insight and an array of practices-from a variety of spiritual traditions-to forge a unique path to spirituality. Techniques involving breath, light, sound, and visualization help seekers center their consciousness, refine their auras, open their hearts, master their emotions and impulses, alter their perspectives, and strengthen their connection with spiritual realms. This practical guide also shows how to use meditation, prayer, and dream interpretation as tools to transform consciousness and become a "whole person.
Broken Jar is for those who wish to be transformed by the Potter from a showboat to an ark of testimony for Him. It is for earthen vessels who know that to be continually molded by His hands-- even broken and reformed, if need be-- is the only way to keep bearing His hallmark, the only way to continue glorifying the true Potter. From January through December, these daily devotionals, anchored deeply in the Word of God, ask challenging questions about growing pains and comfortable stagnation: * Are we allowing the Potter to do what He pleases with us, the clay? * Do we trust Him to out pressure where it is needed to mold us to His liking, or do we stiffen at and shrink from His touch? *When we arrive at a shape we like, do we grow so proud and possessive of this present form that we disengage ourselves from the wheel to harden into an independent and finished pot to remain permanently "fixed"? This book is for those who refused to stay fixed.

Whether preaching each Sunday, officiating at weddings, tending the sick, and comforting the grieving or hiking, fishing, singing, and enjoying friends and family, Reverend Jan has welcomed God into each moment and embraced the gift of life.
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Throughout the centuries the church has taught that the vast majority of humankind will suffer eternal punishment. But is this teaching truly biblical? In this provocative book Jan Bonda scrutinizes church tradition and Scripture -- especially Paul's letter to the Romans -- and concludes that neither Paul nor the prophets to whom he appeals show any trace of supporting the doctrine of eternal damnation. On the contrary, they tell us that God wants to save all people and that he will not rest until that goal has been achieved.
