Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code, was published, it did something that many biblical scholars were not able to do. It posed difficult questions about the role of women in Jesus' life and in the early church, and brought these questions to the forefront of biblical conversations. Many grew up with only a sketchy acquaintance with the many women whose stories march through the pages of the Old and New Testaments. Their stories were not told, and their heroism was unsung. Today, however, more and more scholars are turning their attention to the stories of those women of valor. Nowhere are they as prominent and as central as in the Gospel of John. Judith Kaye Jones contends that the Gospel of John does not just include stories about women, it is structured around stories of women. In this unique testament, women and their encounters with Jesus provide the framework for the central message of Jesus.

Download or read book Mary Magdalene and the Divine Feminine written by Elizabeth Clare Prophet and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What was Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene? What did he teach about the role of women? Is God only male? Mary Magdalene and the Divine Feminine explores these questions and much more as it unfolds Jesus’ liberating teaching on Woman and on the true nature and destiny of the soul—teaching that has been lost for thousands of years. With detailed research and penetrating insight, Elizabeth Clare Prophet shows that Jesus actually broke with the tradition of his time and brought a revolutionary and freeing message for women that was later suppressed. She talks about why early Christian leaders denied Jesus’ message on reverence for Woman and on the inner feminine potential of both man and woman. She also reveals the true relationship of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and why the concept of original sin, which was not part of Jesus’ original teachings, was invented. In these pages, you will also explore the principle and role of the Mother and the Divine Feminine in East and West from ancient times through the teachings of the Hindus, Hebrews, Christians, Gnostics and others. And you will come to see how the story of Mary Magdalene is representative of our own soul’s journey and holds valuable keys for your personal spiritual growth and awakening."

Download or read book Patterns of Creation written by Stephen Pope and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a radical exploration of the mystical teachings in the Gospel of John. It helps the reader to experience these spiritual truths for themselves, and go beyond the everyday mind, which is dominated by the ego and realize their eternal Being, which Johns Gospel calls Logos. By approaching the teachings in a meditative state, the symbolism contained within the Greek text opens out and comes alive in the present moment. The Gospel is not a historical document; it speaks directly to each person now and the states of consciousness represented in the stories are accessible now. The book contains guided meditations to help bring this to life for the reader. This awakening concerns our relationship with the whole of life. Spiritual consciousness means that we are aware of the sacredness of our connections to each other as fellow human beings, and to the creatures of the natural world. Christ and the Logos contain both masculine and feminine in balance; at this critical time, our well-being and that of our fellow creatures is dependent on this realization. ,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide for inviting the wisdom of Mary Magdalene into everyday life • Provides a unique workbook for use in the spiritual pathwork of Magdalene Circles • Includes wisdom stories, guided meditations, journaling questions, and essays by Margaret Starbird, author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar • Designed for those involved in Magdalene Circles and those interested in applying the sacred feminine wisdom of the Goddess to their lives Women’s circles have been called a “revolutionary-evolutionary movement hidden in plain sight” by Jean Shinoda Bolen and have been hailed as capable of affecting global change. Magdalene Circles are groups of women who focus their shared energies on the wisdom of Mary Magdalene to gain insight into the role of the sacred feminine in their own lives and to help them advance on their spiritual paths. This book offers 14 lessons to help understand the wisdom offered by Mary Magdalene’s story and mythos. Among the lessons are prophecies of the bride, why we need the bride, Magdalene’s archetypal pattern of descent, and how modern women carry the Grail. Well-suited for the individual reader as well as a group, each lesson includes an introduction, guided meditation, questions for journaling, and an essay by Margaret Starbird as well as suggestions for group sharing. Placing Mary Magdalene within the pattern of “cyclic renewal” of earth-based religions, this book offers the chance to incorporate the sacred feminine wisdom of Mary Magdalene into everyday life for Christians and spiritual feminists alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sacred Feminine cuts across several areas and knits them together: Alchemy, Gnosticism, Jesus and Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, the Templars and their treasure. This book is NOT a repeat of The DaVinci Code --it goes beyond it with facts and connects the dots. While it profiles many major world goddesses, it goes into depth with Mary Magdalene -- not a penitent prostitute and the Church finally agreed in 1969. She was an Apostle to the apostles, from a rich Egyptian family, and she had been a Temple Priestess, hierodulai practicing hieros gamos... she anointed Jesus and knew much of what he knew, including possessing some of his anointing: She stood before Caesar Tiberius and to make a point with him, she turned a white egg to red. Her Gospel of Mary is examined (Ch. 11) and her teaching. The last 2 chapters examine how we can connect with the Divine Feminine/Masculine and achieve a higher awareness. The book could have been called Spiritual Alchemy. The Templars did find treasure and genealogies under the Temple Mount (and the head/skull of John the Baptist) and took it back to France, and some treasure went to Rosslyn, and some went to the New World -- Quebec as a matter of fact... forget Oak Island (TV show), the Templars stashed it elsewhere. They were trying to set up a new kingdom of Saguenay in Canada but failed. Spiritual Alchemy is what the Templars, Gnostics, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist and the Cathars were after, and it wasn't just to turn lead into gold -- although some alchemists DID do that and it was documented before the King of England. The theme of the book is that there needs to be a return to the Divine Feminine and the Yang Church needs to become the Yin-Yang (balanced)Church if it is to survive. Women and their feminine balance, nurturing, compassion and intuition are sorely needed in today's world as well as the church such that Modern Man (and woman) can better grow spiritually and leave mechanistic, rote religion to the 3rd world tribes. The book also examines Black Madonnas, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings with their unique symbolism, the Dome of the Rock and what it hides, who the Beloved Disciple of Jesus really was, why Snake Oil IS medically of value, two new and authentic gospel fragments, the Mfkzt [sic] powder discovered in Egypt, and the recent discovery of writing on the Shroud of Turin -- which is authentic: it IS Jesus' shroud. New looks at Ascension, Karma, Reincarnation and Scripts are looked at thru the eyes of Rudolf Steiner, St Germain and the Great White Brotherhood (aka Order of Melchizedek).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: --WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains. A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within. With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

Book excerpt: It's Time for a Revolution In the Garden, woman was taken out of man to stand by his side and co-reign with him. But Satan's schemes have robbed women of their rightful identity, disempowering and defacing them. The world aches for God's original partnership to be brought into balance once more--and it can be. Join Kris Vallotton for an extraordinary journey of eye-opening insight, including • God's true plan and purpose for women • Jesus' radical teachings and care for women • men's important role in restoring women • the true meaning of difficult Bible passages about women • examples of women in leadership as God intended God fashioned women to reign alongside men. Jesus set women free to be beautiful and powerful. It's time for us, as daughters and sons of the King, to rule together in glory again. Will you join the revolution? "We have failed to realize that Jesus founded the women's liberation movement more than two thousand years ago. Isn't it high time His Church led the revolution?"--Kris Vallotton "Off the charts. Worthy to be read and studied by all. You won't be able to put it down."--Patricia King, founder, XP Ministries "Read, weigh and embrace the spirit, truth and heartbeat of this book. This biblical approach rightly addresses unright arguments of strained interpretations. Such balance and beauty make sense and offer wisdom. I say, 'Amen!'"--Pastor Jack Hayford, chancellor, The King's University, Dallas/Los Angeles "This profound work is a must-read for men and women alike; it has the potential to instill courage in the hearts of men and give women permission to dream again."--Bill Johnson, senior leader, Bethel Church, Redding, California; author, The Essential Guide to Healing and When Heaven Invades Earth "Finally, a biblical perspective that encourages women to remain themselves and still take their God-given places of leadership."--Stacey Campbell, author, Praying the Bible; co-founding pastor, New Life Church, Kelowna, British Columbia "This compelling work will elevate your awareness, challenge some presuppositions and invite you to grow in the grace of the Lord Jesus."--Dr. Mark J. Chironna, Church On The Living Edge, Mark Chironna Ministries, Orlando, Florida "This must-read will empower you to regain your identity that Satan stole and live the life God created you to live."--Cynthia Brazelton, pastor, Victory Christian Ministries International "I deeply enjoyed diving into the Bible with Kris as my guide to find out what God really says about men and women. It has enhanced my understanding of who I am as a woman and inspires me to instill that in the young women around me. This book is about truth and therefore would be great written by anyone. However, I realized that the fact that it was written by a man, and it is a man calling me into my divine design, brought a deeper level of healing than I'd anticipated and sent me on a journey digging deeper into God's heart. I recommend it for all!" --Revival Magazine "Fashioned to Reign considers the everlasting deception Christians face regarding women's role and purpose: a deception fostered by evil and which is not of God's plan. The disempowerment of women was the devil's idea - and God's true plan for women is very different. Woman was, in fact, designed to stand by man's side and reign with him, not under him - and Fashioned to Reign covers God's ultimate intention for women. Packed with scripture and information throughout, Fashioned to Reign is a powerful analysis perfect for any Christian collection." --Midwest Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Light on John’s Gospel The Gospel according to John has always been recognized as different from the “synoptic” accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But what explains the difference? In this new translation and verse-byverse commentary, Michael Pakaluk suggests an answer and unlocks a twothousand-year-old mystery. Mary’s Voice in the Gospel according to John reveals the subtle but powerful influence of the Mother of Jesus on the fourth Gospel. In his dying words, Jesus committed his Mother to the care of John, the beloved disciple, who “from that hour . . . took her into his own home.” Pakaluk draws out the implications of that detail, which have been overlooked for centuries. In Mary’s remaining years on earth, what would she and John have talked about? Surely no subject was as close to their hearts as the words and deeds of Jesus. Mary’s unique perspective and intimate knowledge of her Son must have shaped the account of Jesus’ life that John would eventually compose. With the same scholarship, imagination, and fidelity that he applied to Mark’s Gospel in The Memoirs of St. Peter, Pakaluk brings out the voice of Mary in John’s, from the famous prologue about the Incarnation of the Word to the Evangelist’s closing avowal of the reliability of his account. This remarkably fresh translation and commentary will deepen your understanding of the most sublime book of the New Testament.

Now you can experience the Divine Feminine and understand Her teachings with no previous knowledge of Wisdom literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue in the Book of Signs offers a polyvalent analysis of John 1:19-12:50 at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. With the help of several synchronic methods, including genre, narrative, rhetorical, and dramatic studies, the author analyzes the content, form, and function of John’s dialogue. Thus, the divine-human dialogue, which is interwoven within the text, provides a key to the understanding of the dialogue between the narrator and the reader. In this volume, after setting a background and a theoretical framework, an extensive exploration of dialogue at the exchange, episode, and narrative levels is offered. The connection of dialogue with other literary aspects such as monologues, signs, I AM sayings, and metaphors is also established. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of dialogue in John 1-12.

Download or read book Daughters of Eve written by Martyn Whittock and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women play an immensely important role in the Bible: from Eve to the Virgin Mary, Sarah to Mary Magdalene, Naomi to the anonymous woman suffering severe menstrual bleeding who was healed by Jesus. They are a sisterhood of faith. As such, they challenge many of our assumptions about the role of women in the development of the biblical story; about the impact of faith on lives lived in the 'heat and dust' of the real world. Here we will meet the prostitute who ended up in the genealogy of Jesus, a national resistance fighter, a determined victim of male sexual behaviour who challenged patriarchal power, a far from meek and mild mother of Jesus, a woman whose life has been so misrepresented that she is now the subject of the most bizarre conspiracy theories, and more. Renowned historians and Biblical scholars, Martyn and Esther Whittock, take the reader on a fascinating journey, one unafraid to ask difficult questions, such as, 'Was Eve set up to fall?'
