The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila presents a remarkable description of the entire spiritual life from the first release from mortal sin into sanctifying grace through the Mystical Marriage of the soul with Christ as a journey through what she called The Interior Castle.

But how can we understand the sequence of prophesied events leading up to His return? In Before the Second Coming, Richard Brunson provides a clear, chronological framework for these pivotal events. Drawing from scripture, prophetic counsel, and in-depth research, this book helps you navigate the signs of the times with faith and clarity.

Do we shape our own destinies, or are our lives woven into God’s eternal plan? In Free Will v. Predestination, Chandler Rivinius embarks on a profound and personal journey through scripture to wrestle with one of Christianity’s most enduring questions. With wit, humility, and a deep reliance on the KJV of the Bible, this book invites listeners to explore the delicate balance between human agency and divine sovereignty.

After years of meticulously poring over the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, Carl Gallups is leading listeners on a unique pilgrimage to Golgotha, tracking a supernatural and almost DNA-like encoding of that quintessential image throughout the Bible. Astonishingly, likenesses of Golgotha are visible from the beginning words of Genesis to some of the last words of Revelation—and in just the right places. Written, in part, in Gallups’ trademark, immersive-narrative style, Golgotha’s Groaning is unlike any of his other works as far as the degree of its explosive content and exciting disclosures.

Paul the Pharisee celebrates not just the New-Paul as Jew but the New-New-Paul as Jewish Pharisee. Granted past Christian, Jewish, and Roman matrices of interpretation, this book explores the historical Paul through the fourth matrix of Evolution. (Think of those matrices as four Russian nesting Matryoshka dolls.) We are not on the Titanic; we are the iceberg. What, then, does Pauline “resurrection” have to do with human evolution?

“In whose name should we be baptized?” It’s one of the most debated questions in modern Christianity. In In Whose Name: The Biblical Truth About Baptism and the Godhead, Dave Ray boldly confronts the confusion surrounding baptism and exposes the growing deception of Oneness theology. Using Scripture as his foundation, Ray shows that Jesus Christ is not the Father or the Spirit—but the Son, eternally one with both. From the Great Commission to the Book of Acts, this book reveals the unity of God’s Word and the harmony of the Triune Godhead.

In the heart of America, a complex story unfolds, woven through the historical context of Black and White churches. It begins with the birth of the American church, where European roots intertwine with the grim realities of slavery and colonization, shaping an early theology that could not escape the shadows of segregation. From the very beginning, worship was divided, laying the groundwork for a future rife with conflict. As we enter recent realities, we witness stark contrasts in worship styles and musical expressions between Black and White churches today.

I am Metatron Ben Elohim, scribe of heaven. Consider my words and be wise. My kind have walked among you from the beginning, and there is still much that you do not yet know. Many secrets have yet to be revealed, and it is time that some of the gaps were filled in. For the end of the age is at hand. The Mystery of The AngelsSince before the time of man, angels have roamed the universe… watching and learning all the wonders of creation. Now have I come to share many secrets with you in this first of many revelations.

The life of Christ is the central focus of the entire New Testament. His birth was prophesied in the Old Testament, and those that knew of his coming patiently awaited his arrival. While not much is known about the early years of his life, we do have bits and pieces scattered throughout the gospels, that give us glimpses of what Christ’s life was like prior to him starting the ministry we are mostly familiar with from the latter part of his life.

Revelation 1 serves as the powerful prologue to the Book of Revelation, framing it not as a puzzle, but as the direct revelation of Jesus Christ. Writing from his exile on the island of Patmos, the apostle John records his dramatic vision of the glorified and resurrected Christ, an awe-inspiring figure with eyes like blazing fire and a voice like rushing waters. The chapter emphasizes key themes of divine authority, as Jesus reveals himself as the Alpha and Omega, the one who holds the keys of Hell and death.

The Moab Covenant can be found in Deuteronomy 28 and many believe it to be one of the most important covenants in the Bible. It lays out a series of future blessings and curses that would play a sig-nificant role in Israel’s history. Chapters 29 – 32 build upon the terms and conditions found in Chapter 28 and contain references to the timeframe when the curses will take place in the future. These chapters were so important, that God commanded them to be read in front of the congregation every seven years during the Feast of Tabernacles, as a continual reminder.

Across centuries, countless men and women have claimed to have witnessed or experienced miracles—events that seem to defy natural explanation. But how do we know if these wonders are real? And more importantly, can they serve as evidence of the existence of God? “Certified Miracles: Proof of God?”, Isaac Volpe guides listeners through the Catholic Church’s rigorous process of investigating and authenticating miracles. This procedure often determines whether a candidate is declared a saint.

Shattering Oneness: The Biblical Case for the Triune God exposes a dangerous error threatening the gospel today. Oneness theology claims God is one Person who simply appears in different roles, but Scripture, history, and reason reveal the truth: God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three distinct Persons, co-eternal, and co-equal.
