Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - According to the Book of Proverbs, she was present at the beginning of creation. Her words echoed through the pages of Scripture. She was known by many names throughout the ancient world. And then, slowly and deliberately, they tried to silence her.The Sacred Feminine: Reclaiming Her Divine Voice traces the long, largely untold history of the divine feminine. From the goddess traditions of antiquity to the Wisdom figure hidden in plain sight within the biblical text itself.

Her light remained. Her voice never died.This is not a rejection of faith. It is a restoration of it.For anyone who has sensed that something essential was missing from the spiritual story they were handed, this book may be the answer.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the questions you were taught to fear are the very ones that could set you free Permission to Question: Thinking for Yourself Without Losing Your Soul is for anyone who has ever doubted a religious teaching, questioned an authority figure, or felt guilty for thinking too deeply. If you were taught that doubt was rebellion, uncertainty was weakness, and honest questions could cost you your faith, your family, or even your soul, this book was written for you.Christina Waren explores why questioning can feel so dangerous and how fear, tradition, repetition, authority, and group pressure shape what we believe.

It means learning to separate evidence from assumption, conscience from conditioning, and truth from certainty.Inside, you will discover how to: Recognize when fear is being mistaken for discernmentQuestion authority without surrendering your compassionUnderstand why sacred texts still require interpretationLet go of guilt around doubt and changing your mindRebuild your beliefs without entering another controlling systemTrust what survives honest examinationThink for yourself without abandoning wonder, meaning, or spiritualityThis is not a book that tells you what to believe. It is an invitation to reclaim your mind, your conscience, and your right to ask.You do not have to possess every answer before you are allowed to live honestly.You are allowed to question.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Many people were taught what to believe long before they were ever invited to understand it.Belief was inherited-passed down through family, church, and tradition-rarely examined and often accepted without question.The Kingdom Within: What Religion Taught You to Forget takes a different approach.This is not a book about replacing one belief system with another. It is an invitation to step back and look again-at scripture, at meaning, and at the foundation of what you've been taught.Moving beyond surface-level interpretation, this book explores the symbolic nature of the Bible, the historical forces that shaped it, and the deeper patterns hidden within its stories. It challenges the idea that truth must be handed down and instead points toward something that can be recognized directly.Inside, you'll discover: - Why the Bible may not have been written to be read literally- How interpretation has been shaped by history, language, and authority- The deeper meaning behind familiar stories and symbols- What it means when scripture points inward instead of outward- How to move beyond inherited belief into personal understandingThis is not a book that tells you what to believe.It invites you to examine what you already do.If something has ever felt incomplete.If questions have lingered beneath the surface.If you've sensed there was more than what you were given.This book meets you there.You don't need a new belief system.You only need to see what was always there.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Most people were taught that Christianity arrived a fully formed divine revelation delivered to a chosen people in a specific place and time, distinct from and superior to everything that came before it. History tells a different story.Before the Cross: World Religions and the Origins of Christianity traces the origins of the world's major religious traditions and the ancient threads that connect them to the Christianity that emerged from the Mediterranean world two thousand years ago. From the creation myths of ancient Mesopotamia to the philosophical schools of Greece, from the Zoroastrian concept of heaven and hell to the dying and rising gods of Egypt and Canaan, from the mystical traditions of India to the suppressed diversity of early Christianity itself, this book maps the vast inheritance that shaped the tradition billions of people call their own.Drawing on more than a century of scholarship in comparative religion, ancient Near Eastern studies, biblical archaeology, and the history of early Christianity, Before the Cross examines what the world believed before the walls between religions were drawn-and what becomes visible when those walls come down.This is not a book written against Christianity. It is a book written for honest engagement with it. Understanding where a tradition came from does not diminish it. It makes it more real.Before the Cross is for the reader who has always sensed the story they were handed was incomplete. For the scholar who wants the historical record alongside the spiritual reflection. For the person who left a tradition and is still trying to understand what they left. And for anyone willing to follow the questions wherever they lead.The ancient world did not wait for Christianity to ask its questions. It had been asking them for thousands of years.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the Bible's most familiar passages are not only doctrines to believe but instructions for an inner journey What if 'be still and know' is a meditation technique What if 'the kingdom of God is within you' means exactly what it says What if the scriptures have been teaching stillness, awareness, and the transformation of consciousness all along, and most of us were too busy to hear them Two in the Field: Meditation, Scripture, and Stillness offers a contemplative reading of scripture that most churches never explore. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, the Psalms, the letters of Paul, and the wisdom of contemplative traditions across centuries and cultures, this book follows a single thread from the call to stillness through the transformation of the inner life to the practical question of how an awakened person actually lives in the world.This is not a book about leaving religion or critiquing the church. It is a book about what scripture itself says when you read it slowly, quietly, and with your full attention.Each of the twenty-one chapters ends with a contemplative practice: a meditation, a journaling exercise, a silence fast, a way of seeing. These are not extras. They are the point. This is a book that asks you to do more than read. It asks you to be still.For seekers, meditators, contemplatives, and anyone who has ever suspected that the Bible has more to say than they have been taught to hear.The field is waiting.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the Christianity you were taught isn't what Jesus actually taught For centuries, the message of Jesus has been filtered, interpreted, and reshaped-until what remains often reflects the voice of the Church more than the man at its center. But where did that shift happen In Paul Hijacked Jesus: How the Church Chose the Messenger Over the Messiah, Christina Waren takes a bold, unflinching look at one of the most influential figures in Christian history: Paul the Apostle.Through historical context and scriptural comparison, she explores the growing divide between the teachings attributed to Jesus in the Gospels and the theology that emerged in Paul's letters-raising questions many have never been encouraged to ask.If you've ever felt something didn't quite add up, you're not alone.Did Paul preserve the message.or redefine it This isn't just a question of interpretation-it's a question of origin.This book invites you to: - Look beyond tradition- Challenge inherited beliefs- Examine the foundation of the faith you were givenBecause the truth isn't afraid of questions.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - For two thousand years, we have been handed a faith about Jesus: creeds to recite, doctrines to defend, rules to keep, gatekeepers to please. Somewhere beneath all of it, the actual words of the man were nearly lost. The red letters. The things he really said.Red Letter Rabbi: Returning to the Wisdom of Jesus is an invitation to set the institution aside and return to the teacher himself, the rabbi who told stories instead of issuing decrees, who said the kingdom of God is within you, who taught his followers to love their enemies, to forgive without limit, to stop judging, and to find rest. Chapter by chapter, it walks through his wisdom on the kingdom, on mercy, on freedom, and on the kind of transformation that gives more life rather than less.Along the way, it reclaims the verses long used as weapons, the narrow gate, born again, repent, die to yourself, and asks what he may have actually meant by them.This is a book for anyone wounded by religion, anyone who has left the church or is thinking about it, and anyone who still loves Jesus but cannot find him in the building. You do not have to believe the right things first. You only have to be willing to listen to him again, in his own words, and keep what is true.The man is not the institution. It may be time to meet him without it.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if everything you've been taught about the Bible isn't the whole story For centuries, people have been told that questioning scripture is rebellion, and that truth can only be found through submission to institutions, traditions, and authority.But what if that foundation was never what it claimed to be Not One Stone: Dismantling Religion to Rebuild the Truth Within begins where most people are never encouraged to look: at the text itself. Before there was a Bible, there were scribes copying by hand, translators making choices with real consequences, and centuries of transmission shaping meaning long before any reader ever opened a page. This book traces that process honestly, then follows the trail further, into the political forces that shaped Christianity as an institution. It examines the Bible Rome built, the structure Constantine helped impose, how the canon of scripture was actually chosen, what was deliberately left out, and the contradictions still sitting inside the text that survived every round of editing anyway.From there, the book turns to the system built on top of that foundation. It traces how sin was redefined, how fear became a tool of control, how the very idea of hell developed, and how religion itself became an institution with something to gain from keeping believers dependent on secondhand access to God rather than trusting their own.The second half of the book turns toward recovery. It explores what phrases like born again actually meant before they became religious shorthand, the deeper meaning behind Christ within, the true history behind the name of Jesus, and the symbolism later generations mistook for literal fact. It closes by asking what remains once the inherited structure is finally taken apart: not brokenness, but a return to direct awareness, and the recognition that authority was never meant to live outside the individual in the first place.This is not an attack on faith. It's an invitation to look deeper.To question what you've been told.To examine what has been handed down.To uncover what may have been hidden in plain sight.Because once you begin to see the cracks, you can't unsee them.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Many of us learned to pray as though approaching someone reluctant to give, someone who had to be convinced, pleased, or worn down before releasing what we needed. We prayed with hope, but also with uncertainty, already bracing for refusal.Sacred Manifestation: Creating Harmony, Abundance, and Heaven on Earth begins from a different place.Prayer is not a transaction with a distant God who may or may not choose to notice you. It is the practice of bringing desire, belief, uncertainty, and daily life into honest relationship with a divine Presence that was never absent.Drawing from Scripture, New Thought, Gnostic spirituality, and personal testimony, Christina Waren examines what it truly means to ask, believe, receive, participate, and release. She explores how hidden beliefs shape prayer, why faith is not emotional perfection, how intention and gratitude influence participation, and why unanswered prayer is never automatic proof of insufficient faith.Woven throughout are deeply personal stories of waiting, abuse, estrangement, healing, finding true love, creating a peaceful home, and stepping into a long-delayed calling. These experiences reveal how a life of greater peace, love, abundance, and freedom can begin to take root when fear no longer governs our choices and inward truth is finally given room to emerge.Inside, you will explore: - How modern manifestation teachings developed, and where they meet or depart from Scripture- Why faith is not a feeling and belief is not a performance- The difference between abundance and accumulation- How hidden beliefs influence prayer, participation, and the ability to recognize and receive- How to believe in yourself without making the individual self all-powerful- What Gnostic texts, the kingdom within, and the divine spark can and cannot teach- Why unanswered prayer is never automatic proof of weak faith- How intention, gratitude, discernment, action, and surrender work together- A practical framework for the prayer of faith- What it means to create harmony, abundance, love, and heaven on earth through the way we liveThis is not a promise that life will obey you if you think correctly enough. It refuses to turn illness, poverty, abuse, disability, grief, loss, or disappointment into evidence against the person who suffers.Instead, this book invites you to name your desires honestly, believe in yourself, receive help without shame, participate faithfully in what is possible, and release what was never yours to control.Harmony, abundance, love, and heaven on earth are not simply things to possess. They are realities we help create through prayer, discernment, gratitude, courage, and the way we choose to live. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Bible is full of magic. Why were you taught to fear that word Dreams that predict the future. Objects with mysterious power. Words spoken aloud that change reality. Visions, healing, divination, and voices from beyond the grave. These aren't the trappings of witchcraft, they're on nearly every page of Scripture.The Magical Bible: Miracles, Rituals, and Hidden Wisdom takes readers on a fearless journey through the biblical text, ancient history, and the esoteric traditions most were taught to avoid. From Moses facing down Pharaoh's magicians to Joseph's divination cup, from the woman of Endor summoning the dead to Jesus healing with mud and touch, this book asks the question religious teaching rarely allows: what is the actual difference between a miracle and magic, and who decided where that line gets drawn Across twenty-eight chapters, Christina Waren investigates the real history behind Kabbalah, Tarot, astrology, numerology, Gnosticism, the witch trials, and the Hermetic tradition, separating documented fact from popular myth at every turn. No sensational claim survives without evidence. No feared practice goes unexamined. And no reader is asked to abandon their faith, only to bring their curiosity back into the room.This is not a book about converting to witchcraft, and it is not a book defending everything it explores. It is an invitation to investigate before you condemn, to understand before you fear, and to ask the question every religious tradition has answered differently throughout history: who gets to define the sacred Fear nothing merely because you were told to fear it. Learn. Question. Discern.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Bible is the most influential book in human history. Yet few readers have ever been told the full story of how it came to be.From Scroll to Scripture: A Complete History of the Bible traces the Bible from its ancient Near Eastern origins through its composition, canonization, transmission, translation, and interpretation across four thousand years of history. Written for curious readers, students, scholars, and believers alike, it presents a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of the world's most studied collection of writings - scholarly without being inaccessible, honest without being hostile, and deeply committed to letting the sources speak for themselves.Inside, you'll explore: - The Mesopotamian flood traditions and other ancient texts that predate the Hebrew Bible.- The multiple authors, editors, and sources behind the Pentateuch and what modern scholarship has uncovered about its composition.- The goddess Asherah, the divine council, and the religious world of ancient Israel.- The Dead Sea Scrolls and what they reveal about the preservation and development of the biblical text.- The Council of Nicaea, the formation of the biblical canon, and what history actually records.- Textual variants, disputed passages, and why some verses appear in certain Bibles but not in the oldest surviving manuscripts.- How Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and Ethiopian Christians came to recognize different biblical canons.- The history of Bible translation and what is gained - and sometimes lost - when ancient Hebrew and Greek are rendered into English.- The many ways the Bible has been interpreted through historical, literary, feminist, liberation, mystical, psychological, and consciousness-centered approaches.Along the way, this book wrestles with the questions many readers have quietly carried for years: Who wrote the Bible - and how do we know What evidence exists for the people, places, and events it describes What did scribes change, preserve, or leave behind Why were some books included while others were excluded How has history shaped the Bible we hold today Rather than telling readers what to believe, From Scroll to Scripture equips them to engage the Bible with historical awareness, literary insight, intellectual honesty, and a deeper appreciation for the remarkable journey these writings have taken across the centuries.Whether you are questioning long-held assumptions, rediscovering your faith, studying biblical history, or simply seeking to understand one of humanity's most influential books, this volume invites you to examine the evidence, trace the history, and continue the conversation for yourself.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if witchcraft were less about mystery and more about understanding what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how ordinary objects can become part of a meaningful spiritual practice Sacred Witchcraft: A Guide to Everyday Spellcraft is a grounded, approachable guide for readers who want to explore witchcraft without fear, rigid rules, exaggerated claims, or the pressure to follow someone else's spiritual path.Rather than handing you a collection of mysterious recipes and telling you to copy them, Christina Waren teaches you how spellcraft is actually constructed. You will learn how candles, herbs, oils, crystals, incense, water, salt, colors, symbols, moon phases, planetary timing, spoken words, divination tools, and everyday objects acquire meaning and how those correspondences can be combined intentionally.Inside, you will explore how to create sacred space, set up an altar, choose and substitute ritual tools, work with the four elements, understand moon and planetary magic, create sigils, use words of power, approach divination thoughtfully, establish spiritual boundaries, and design rituals for love, prosperity, healing, fertility, protection, cleansing, confidence, release, new beginnings, and more.You will also learn the history behind many familiar practices, where older traditions end and modern witchcraft begins, how the Wheel of the Year developed, why correspondence systems sometimes contradict one another, and how to distinguish documented history from folklore, contemporary practice, and personal spiritual interpretation.Throughout the book, ritual is paired with discernment and real-world action. A prosperity spell does not replace financial decisions. A healing ritual does not replace medical care. A protection working does not replace boundaries. Spellcraft becomes most meaningful when symbolism, intention, attention, and action work together.The book concludes with The Practical Spellbook, offering ready-to-use workings for prosperity, healing, love, employment, fertility, protection, cleansing, emotional healing, moon rituals, new beginnings, and first-of-the-month practice. Extensive correspondence references, a Spell Finder, glossary, and additional resources make it easy to return to the book again and again.Whether you are completely new to witchcraft, rebuilding a spiritual practice after leaving organized religion, or simply looking for a more thoughtful and historically aware approach to spellcraft, Sacred Witchcraft invites you to explore without surrendering your curiosity or critical thinking.You do not need the perfect crystal, the perfect moon phase, an elaborate altar, or a cabinet full of magical supplies. You need to understand the language of the practice well enough to make it your own.Sacred Witchcraft shows you how. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What happens when the life you built collapses-and everything you were taught to believe begins collapsing with it I Come to the Garden Alone is Christina Waren's deeply personal memoir of survival, spiritual awakening, and the long journey back to herself.Raised within fundamentalist religion, Christina learned early that obedience was praised, questions were dangerous, and a woman's worth was often measured by how quietly she endured. For decades, she carried the weight of religious fear, an abusive marriage, financial devastation, family estrangement, grief, and the constant responsibility of caring for a daughter with significant disabilities.When her twenty-eight-year marriage finally ended, Christina left with little more than what would fit inside her car beside her daughter's wheelchair. What followed was a season of loss few could imagine: the disappearance of financial security, home, belongings, beloved animals, family relationships, and the identity she had spent a lifetime building.Yet beneath the wreckage, something unexpected began to emerge.Through honest questioning, historical study, meditation, self-examination, and a growing awareness of the divine within, Christina began separating truth from fear and faith from control. She discovered that awakening was not about finding another institution to obey. It was about learning to trust the voice within herself.This is not a story of returning to religion. It is a story of moving beyond it.It is the story of a woman who lost nearly everything and discovered that peace, love, meaning, and spiritual connection were still possible. From heartbreak and homelessness to unexpected love and a new life in the Arizona desert, Christina's journey offers hope to anyone rebuilding after abuse, religious trauma, family rejection, or the collapse of everything once believed to be certain.I Come to the Garden Alone: A Memoir of Spiritual Awakening is for those who have questioned, endured, awakened, and wondered whether life could still become beautiful after everything falls apart.It can.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Open your Bible to almost any page and you'll find it: light breaking into darkness, water rising from a rock, a shepherd calling sheep by name, a lamb that turns out to be a lion. These aren't decorations. They're a language, one the biblical writers spoke fluently and expected their readers to understand, a language most of us have lost the key to.The Hidden Language of Scripture: A Guide to Biblical Symbolism hands that key back.This book traces the Bible's most powerful symbols from their first appearance in Genesis to their fullest expression on the lips of Jesus, showing how a single thread, water, or bread, or a garden, or a name, can run through a thousand years of scripture and still be waiting for you the next time you open the page. You'll see why the manna in the wilderness and the bread Jesus breaks at supper are the same story told twice. Why the psalmist's cry for living water and the woman at the well in John's Gospel are answering the same thirst. Why a burning bush that would not burn out and a voice that says simply 'I am' turn out to be the deepest thing scripture ever says about God.Written for anyone who loves scripture and wants to read it more closely, this is not a book of speculation or hidden codes. It draws on the original Hebrew and Greek, the world the Bible was written in, and centuries of contemplative and mystical tradition, and puts all of it in service of one goal: helping you read the story you already know and discover that it has been saying more than you ever realized.By the time you reach the last page, you won't just have learned what the Bible's symbols mean. You'll find yourself reading every page differently, alert to a language that was there all along, waiting to be heard.…
