Описание:
Could a new Adam be preparing us for the return of Christ--but in a way not predicted in the Bible?
The answer to this question can be found in the strange turn of events at the world-famous Milagro Shrine. Based in northern New Mexico, this powerful healing site has become the American counterpart to Lourdes, France. The grounds caretaker is the gentle and unassuming Adam Gwillt. As pilgrims pray at the shrine, many have enigmatic encounters with Adam. Thousands experience astonishing healings. But suddenly and for no apparent reason, Adam disappears from sight and the healings stop.
Jonathan Ramsey, the protagonist of this supernatural tale of mystery and global intrigue, is a specialist in the study of sacred places who is called in to investigate the disappearance of the shrine's healing powers. When Ramsey first encounters the site, long forgotten emotional wounds rise to the surface. This experience culminates in a mystical apparition that draws him deeply into his assignment. Ramsey interviews the strange cast of eccentric characters involved with the shrine, slowly piecing together the story of how it grew up at the foot of a cottonwood tree and rapidly expanded after numerous paranormal events--all of which point to the caretaker's enigmatic presence.
Three rival groups descend on the shrine to find Adam. A right-wing Christian organization wants to destroy him; a progressive group of modern-day Christian Gnostics plans to convince Adam to lead them as a new savior; and a third group hopes to commercialize Adam's healing powers. The race to find Adam moves into high gear. Eventually the parties collide in a desperate attempt to capture him. As the contest resolves itself, Ramsey suddenly realizes he's been a pawn in a larger drama.
What is revealed is the very meaning of Christ's promise to return to earth and lead humanity into a new era--but in ways not anticipated by the churches or by anyone else. Amid the international struggle to control Adam's powers and thereby determine the future of Christian belief, Ramsey discovers his own role in fostering an epochal renewal of Christianity. Along the way, readers also learn why sacred places create communities of faith and become portals of healing power.
The Adam Enigma is a rare event in spiritual fiction--a postmodern novel for the liberal or progressive reader who nonetheless loves Jesus and what he stands for. It's Jesus-oriented fiction "for the rest of us"--creative, non-doctrinaire, and open to the future. Enjoy this page-turning mystery with its rich array of unforgettable characters, wild plot, and exotic settings.
Описание: An alarming and enlightening first-hand account of what's really going on behind the borders of the Islamic State.
." . . a rare inside view of ISIS and insight into the terrorist organization's methods and hold on adherents."- Publishers WeeklyISIS, IS, the Islamic State. The name is chilling. The images are horrific. This is a group that beheads journalists--and yet one, the German JUrgen TodenhOfer, went out of his way to get an invitation to visit ISIS fighters in Mosul in 2014 to ask them to explain their beliefs. This book is the result of his conversation. My Journey into the Heart of Terror: Ten Days in the Islamic State shows how the organization grew from its al-Qaeda roots and takes a harsh look at the West's role in its past and today. Along the way, TodenhOfer offers startling insights into what ISIS thinks, what it wants--and what must change if it is to be defeated. Only by understanding, TodenhOfer believes, can we move forward and combat ISIS's radical, violent interpretation of Islam and the terror and destruction it brings.
