In this remarkable book, world-famous Mexican healer Sergio Magana unveils the secret practices of the 5,000-year-old Toltec tradition. When the phase of the Sixth Sun began, it was time for the ancient teachings of Mexico to be shared with the world. Sergio Magana's dreaming teacher predicted that, after the eclipse on 11 July 2010, Sergio would be one of the spokespeople to carry the teachings of this rich spiritual tradition, which has been closed to outsiders until now.

The original holders of this secret knowledge, the Chichimeca, were considered to be masters, with a deep understanding of the dream state and a working knowledge of how our perceptions form our reality, as well as the capacity to influence matter. In this extraordinary work, Sergio shares the wisdom and practices that inspired Carlos Castaneda to write about nahual and tonal reality, and explains the deep power of dreaming, altered states of perception and expanded consciousness that will enable you to: become lucid in your dreams; heal and rejuvenate your body and send healing to others while in the dreaming state; communicate with your ancestors; develop different types of perception to see energy and altered reality; use the mysterious obsidian mirror for cleansing and healing yourself and others; and, see your teyolia, or path of the soul, to learn who you were in past lives and release parts of yourself that are trapped in old experiences.

Gordon Smith, hailed as the UK's most accurate Spiritual Medium, is respected internationally both for his ability to convey precise messages from the Spirit World, filled with a level of detail that astounds people, and also as one of the world's foremost teachers of mediumship. In this fascinating updated edition of one of his best-selling books, Gordon sheds light on: how mediums and psychics get their information; why spirits choose to communicate with us; the truth about ghosts, poltergeists and hauntings; out-of-body experiences and altered states of awareness; and, re-incarnation and memories of past lives. While Gordon is the first person to acknowledge that people's imagination, grief or distress can affect their perceptions, and that charlatans and frauds only add to the confusion, his incredible experiences and research have inspired him with a passion to reveal what really happens in the Spirit World.

In The Unbelievable Truth, he lifts the lid on these 'insider' topics with wit, insight and great knowledge. (hide)

The Victorians built tens of thousands of churches in the hundred years between 1800 and 1900.Wherever you might be in the English-speaking world, you will be close to a Victorian built or remodelled ecclesiastical building. Contemporary experience of church buildings is almost entirely down to the zeal of Victorians such as John Henry Newman, Henry Wilberforce and Augustus Pugin, and their ideas about the role of architecture in our spiritual life and well-being. In Unlocking the Church, William Whyte explores a forgotten revolution in social and architectural history and in the history of the Church.

He details the architectural and theological debates of the day, explaining how the Tractarians of Oxford and the Ecclesiologists of Cambridge were embroiled in the aesthetics of architecture, and how the Victorians profoundly changed the ways in which buildings were understood and experienced. No longer mere receptacles for worship, churches became active agents in their own rights, capable of conveying theological ideas and designed to shape people's emotions. These church buildings are now a challenge: their maintenance, repair or repurposing are pressing problems for parishes in age of declining attendance and dwindling funds. (hide)

The preacher's task is to make it possible for their listeners to meet Jesus Christ in their own lives, rather than to simply 'convert' them. To this end, preachers must connect with those they are speaking to in ways which help them make sense of the Christian faith in their own circumstances and in the times we live in. Waiting on the Word poses a series of questions that go to the heart of the preacher's own vocation: - What do people expect from a sermon? - What are their pastoral and intellectual needs? - How can the preacher feel confident that he or she has the words needed to meet the spiritual, ethical and political challenges of today? - How can he or she develop 'presence'?
