Searching the Scriptures: Bringing Power to Your Personal and Family Study
Gene R. Cook - 1993
But, as Elder Gene R. Cook emphasizes in his book, that blessing doesn't come through casual effort. In Searching the Scriptures, Elder Cook explores how we can effectively ponder, question, and mark the scriptures and understand how they apply to our lives. He also shares his testimony of the power and blessings that come from knowing God's word. And he gives suggestions on how to organize family study and how to use the scriptures as a way to bless each family member. Relating personal experiences to show what has worked and what hasn't, Elder Cook shares ways to motivate everyone in the family to participate and work to invite the Spirit to be present at reading time. Elder Cook's hope is to help Latter-day Saints gain a deeper understanding of what scriptures really are and how they apply to us today, and thereby have a desire to learn more from them.

The Laughing Cherub Guide to Past-life Regression: A Handbook for Real People
Mary Elizabeth Raines - 2010
The author explains how a typical past-life regression differs from those shown on TV or even in most books on the subject, and offers readers a look at various theories of karma and reincarnation, allowing them to draw their own conclusions.Past-life regression is about more than uncovering an interesting story from the past. The process gives us a richer understanding of why we are the way we are, why certain events happen in our lives, and how there is ultimately perfect justice in the universe. Raines reveals how past-life regression has the potential to heal and transform, and illustrates this with numerous stories of people who have used past-life regression to resolve and heal bewildering patterns, responses, and relationships.In looking at the process of past-life regression, Raines introduces readers to hypnosis, the primary technique used to help people access past lives. She details the kinds of experiences people are likely to have during a past-life regression, including what can go wrong, and a failsafe solution for those who have blocks. The reader is guided step by step through a typical past-life regression session. At the end of the book are fascinating transcripts of three actual past-life regressions.

God In My Head: The true story of an ex-Christian who accidentally met God
Joshua Steven Grisetti - 2016
During the supernatural encounter, God explained the meaning of life, revealed the mysterious truths behind the writings of the Bible, unveiled the secrets of the afterlife and, most importantly, dramatically altered the spiritual course of one young man's life. This odd, irreverent spiritual memoir chronicles Josh's journey with blunt comic undertones, undercutting the lofty gravitas typically associated with the "heaven tourism" genre (including best-sellers like Heaven is for Real, To Heaven and Back and Proof of Heaven). While making no claims regarding "proof" of God, heaven or any particular theological truth, this true story is an entertaining and thought-provoking journey into the psychology of religion and the existence of God.
