Revelations Books

I'm surprised at how well received this man's opines are within the Catholic community; perhaps this is due to Hahn's remarkable capacity to pull biblical passages out of his hat with startling acuity. As increasing numbers of Catholics turn to reading the texts outside the Mass and Lectionary, people will be less impressed with Hahn's Biblical gymnastics. Hahn converted via an academic spiritual exercise, i.e., Pedantic Enlightenment. His musings turn Catholicism into a hybrid Protestantism, which misrepresents his newfound faith. With a heavy hand in "The Lamb's Supper," he inserts Revelation into the Mass, which again demonstrates a Protestant phenomena. This man would argue with Jesus about scripture, given half a chance. Hahn provides Spiritual Velveeta, with a shallow historical and spiritual context that lacks the complex richness and theological understanding of real Catholic theologians.Beware those cutesy chapter subtitles, such as: " Stealing My Thunder," "Moriah Carry," "Victim's Rites," "Extrasensory Censers," and the nauseating "Oath Meal" to name a few.

For someone liberated from sola scriptura, Hahn remains remarkably laden with words, boxed into Biblical frameworks. Hahn squeezes out faith from memorizing and breaking down Old and New Testament passages into digestible chunks, sucking the juice of wisdom dry. He lacks the expertise of Rabbinical scholars in the Judaic tradition of intimately examining and memorizing scripture. Hahn relies on quoting biblical passages and citing their numbers, missing the bigger, far more complex picture. He displays a zealous desire to convert non-Christians and Protestants to his faith, counter to the teachings of the Catholic Church. There is something so narrow and offensive in Hahn's New Revelation Catholicism, for him, deep worship via Mass is simply inadequate to feed his narcissism.

Scott Hahn helps you to rediscover the beauty and mysteries behind the mass. You'll never miss mass again after reading this book. He is brilliant!

Even fallen away Catholics (like me) will benefit from this book. I can identify with Hahn's experience of realizing for the first time that what he was entering in to (the Mass) was infact the unfolding of time and space - of heaven and earth. The Book of Revelation now makes more sense to me.

For cradle Catholics, it is the perfect book; for protestants who think Catholicism is wrong, it is the perfect book; for folks who want to understand the Catholic Mass, it is the perfect book.

In this book Scott Hahn takes the Mass and draws out the parallels in the book of Revelation. He explores how parts of the Mass draw from and perfect Jewish tradition, and to my pleasure he makes abundant references to early Christian writers. His basic purpose is to show the depth and majesty of the Mass and how even the most mediocre Mass is an experience of Heaven. This book is great in terms of apologetics, explaining the rootedness of the Mass in scripture as well as for Catechesis, explaining the riches contained in the Mass.

I have yet to read this book, but it is in good condition.

This book is one of the best autobiographies I've ever read. Not only is it filled with details of Patti's life, it also takes you to the lessons that she's learned from the time when she was a shy little girl, to life as a megastar. This book will truly touch your heart as you cheer on the diva that is Patti LaBelle.

Patty LaBelle is amazing. She has an incredible voice, a career full of ups and downs, and can bring down the house in concert. This book is just another triumph for a lady who deserves all the accolades she receives. With absolute honesty, she reveals so much about her life--from sexual abuse to the fear of dying of cancer like her sisters and good friend--you feel that Ms. LaBelle has given you all that she can. Throughout her life, she has faced a good deal of challenges but has emerged with a positive attitude about life and can still entertain with the best of them. I have seen her in concert 3 times and she blew me away each time. This book does the same. After reading the dismal biography of Aretha Franklin (From the Roots), I realized what a gem this is. If you wanna read a really good book about an incredible entertainer, give this one a go. Its worth every penny!

PATTI takes you on a journey-from the Bluebelles, to LaBelle and through her solo career. She talks about her battles with her self-esteem, record companies, men and THE TRAGIC deaths of sisters. Did you know that NONA had a nervous break down during one the LaBelle concerts-and was taken to the hospital in restraints? WOW! This lead to the break-up of LaBelle! Pick this one up and you'll find out much more.

Congratulations, A reflective autobiography with some depth and truth. Before reading Patti's, I read Aretha's, which I ultimately felt like tossing in the middle of the street! Great job! I thought the book was very inviting to the personal side of Patti. I have always admired how forthcoming she has been with the public in relation to her late sisters. This book can truly encourage one to live life, as well as love and appreciate life.
However, there are a few things I would like to clear up, which I found inaccurate or inappropriate. The Jackie Wilson episode I found rather distasteful, particularly since he is not around to defend himself(it was o.k. to slander Al Green). Also, as I had to do with Gladys in her book, I need to clarify a few inaccurate points you raised in your book. In reading your relationship with Atlantic Records in the 1960's, one is left with the impression your group wasn't given a fair shot due to the success of Aretha. Well, that's not totally true, since you were with the label two years before she signed on. It just wasn't your time yet! Now is your time. You sound greater and look more beautiful than ever. You have a wonderful spirit in which people adore you far and near. You are truly a blessing. Wonderful job.

Great series, very fun to read. Also, educational about the Amish faith and ways of life.

Excellent stories about s simple way of living. Well written to make one think there just might be a better way for many of our christian brothers & sisters. Highly recommended for anyone seeking roots for faith living.

books perfect. just a thin black magic marker line across bottom pages close to book spine

Beverly Lewis has a true gift for writing. Other authors may try to imitate and capitalize on her success of writing of the Amish, but their quality does not come close. Endearing characters that feel like longtime friends, heart wrenching plots all with a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel, and with God's help. I cried and laughed and anticipated with these characters. Anyone would truly love these novels and all her others, too. Beverly is a woman of God and it shows in her stories. I have read the others and was so disappointed. Nothing compares to Beverly, once you have read hers you will never be able to stomach the rest. You won't be able to put these books down!

I have now finished reading all of Abrams Daughters and can't tell you how much I enjoyed the books. You learn so much from the Amish & Mennonite cultures that is so interesting. This is an easy read, and should be read by many.

I first read this precious book, when a friend sent it to me, after my husbands death.
It was such a comfort.
Now I send it, hoping it will help and comfort some one else.

This is a wonderful book to own for yourself or give as a gift to anyone that has had a love one go on before them to heaven. It gives a vivid picture of what heaven is like. You will feel close to heaven and those that have gone on to their reward.
I first read this book when my sister and then my father died in the same year. It was a tremendous source of comfort, and made the vast expanse between us seem so much smaller.
I highly recommend it.

I first read 'Intra Muros' in the late 1970s.
Although I realize it is not absolutely the truth, it gave me such a peace about death and the hereafter, I passed the book on to another.
At one time I bought 24 of them to pass around. Not one came back to me.
Isn't that wonderful!
Now I am doing the same thing with 'My Dream of Heaven'.
I wish everyone would/could read it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This book is a great gift to give to someone who has lost a loved one. It helps you to imagine what Heaven will be like.

Although it is the author's dream of heaven, it is a beautiful story about how heaven may be and that it is a continuation from our life on earth. We will meet our family and friends and we will all be so happy and praising our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a lovely book and produces warm and happy feelings!

Whether you agree with preterism or not, this book is a wonderful addition to any Christian's library. This book carefully examines all of the arguments and assumptions of a late date for the orginal manuscript for John's apocolypse and shows the strength of early date arguments.

This book is an excellent defense of a view held by the minority. The book is thoroughly researched and the ideas are fully discussed. The level of detail in this book might bore some of the readers.

Ken Gentry uses internal evidence from the Bible and external evidence to make his case. This is unlike many of those who hold to a late date for Revelation but use mostly external evidence to defend it.

For those people who want a thorough defense of the early date of Revelation, this is an excellent choice. Those who do not wish to wade through such an academic book might wish to look at another of Gentry's books, The Beast of Revelation. This book finishes with a condensed version of the arguments in Before Jerusalem Fell.

The best case yet for when to date the book of Revelation. It would be hard to imagine anyone disputing the case Mr. Gentry makes for a date prior to AD70. Sure to stir up questions and provide answers for not just the date but also why the dating matters to our understanding of the visions it contains.

Gentry prefers to dig into the evidence contained within the Christian Bible before conceeding to the authority of traditions or speculative legends in order to determine the best approximate dates of authorship for the New Testament books. The approximate time in which these books were written has significant impact upon how apocalyptic prophecy can or should be interpreted. Gentry also compares and considers the actual statements of early Church figures which have often been used to promote a later date of authorship for certain books, placing them after the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

Gentry is meticulous and methodical in his approach to dating the book of Revelation. I've also read the works of Josephus since reading Gentry's thesis and I am persuaded that most of the events of Revelation occurred prior to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.

If you want a very thorough "glimpse" of what heaven will be like for the born-again believer, this book is it!!! Be warned though, after reading it, your desire for the things of this world will "fade away." This book has you drooling to be in heaven asap!! :-) The book reads "like a novel," very fast-paced (I guess you could say)-- a real page turner! I love how humbly Jesus came to her, just like his character revealed in the Gospels. Man, I could go on and on, but I'll restrain myself. Just get it!

For those who are suffering the loss of someone very close, this book brings such comfort. It makes the unknown far more evitable by its look beyond the gates of death.

I purchased it for my brother who recently lost his wife. It comforted him so that he has read it two or three times, and ordered more to share with others in his plight of despair over her death.

This little magnificent book is just that! I was captivated from the very beginning. Her trip to heaven makes me long for the day when our LORD tells me it is time to go home. Wow, now I don't have to imagine anymore. This sweet book is on my "best book" list along with several others that relate stories of having gone to heaven. The interesting thing is, they all have a thread of commonality to them.They all describe the streets of gold! Fruit they had never seen before. Nothing decays. There is no sorrow, no danger, and everything is so magnified in it's glory!!!
I can't say enough about this wonderful book. I've read it three times now and never get tired of reading more. I would like to find more books like this. I would dive into them all! Please read this book and be blessed!

This book changed my life. After reading around 30 pages I knew that she had experienced Heaven and returned to tell about it. My childhood picture of Heaven dramatically changed and I felt great comfort knowing the reality of where I will spend Eternity.
As to the book I received it was not the one pictured. I am familiar with the edition pictured so I ordered several but the edition was different and much poorer quality.

While I find that Rebecca Springer's "dream" of heaven very uplifting, there are too many scriptural flaws to believe it was an actual experience. In light of that, I still enjoyed reading the book and didn't want to put it down until I was finished.

I grew up in Southern Virginia and while I come from a white middle class background, we still enjoyed many of the dishes, Miss Edna writes about in this book with Scott. Unfortunately I didn't appreciate the importance of my 'food' heritage until it was too late - both grandmothers were gone and all their recipes and tips with them. While this book is a delightful read on its own and provoked many a trip down 'Memory Lane' I am enjoying the challenge of recreating my childhood memories with Miss Edna and Scott's well-written recipes. If you are a Virginian and over 50, this book should hold pride & place on your shelf - but I'll wager it spends more time open than many of your fancy new cookbooks!

The Gift of Southern Cooking is one of the best collections of pure southern cooking to be found, from a grand dame of the South. These recipes preserve much of the history of southern food, handed down from generation-to-generation, and brought to life in the inspired talent of Scott Peacock.

I have all of the late Edna Lewis's cookbooks. She wrote so beautifully and her recipes never fail. This is one of her best. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful book, full of insight, basic instruction, social and historical instruction. I bought this book after finding one recipe from it online for Fried Chicken. What I found was book full of my childhood memories. The authors have managed to fill me in on why I do certain things in the kitchen that were done only because I seem to remember my grandmother doing them or an aunt saying it should be done that way. This book inspired me to make my first batch of sweet southern pickles and they came out just as I remember available at every home we visited during my youth. They came out so delicious that I immediately made a second batch to give as Christmas presents.
For anyone interested in southern cooking and the reasons for things being done in a certain way, this is the book for you.

The macaroni & cheese is KILLER - literally. TONS of fat stuff..yummmmm. I mixed the cheese topping with my homemade wholewheat bread heels made into crumbs. I thought that at least I'd be able to break up the clots in the heart and colon a bit. The addition of the breadcrumbs added a nice, crisp crust. The recipe doubles easily, and travels well. It's not yo' mamas mac & cheese. The only recipe that let me down a bit was the pineapple upside down cake that didn't direct me what to do with the brown sugar caramel after making it. Ah well.

I highly recommend this to people considering converting to the Catholic faith or those who are new in it. I would even suggest it to "cradle Catholics" like myself because we all need a refresher on what our faith really is. The conglomeration of different authors is a brilliant idea because it gives the reader different perspectives. The authors are connected to the Franciscan University at Steubenville, which some priests have told me is the best Catholic university in the country. This book is heavily based on the Scriptures and very enlightening. It gives the big picture that we are God's family and He loves us.

Scott Hahn is without question the most popular and important Catholic apologist in today's world. Not only is he an incredibly gifted author but he is also a very dynamic speaker as well. His efforts have not only helped many of the Catholic faithful to better understand our faith but he has also been instrumental in the conversion process for many new Catholics. He himself was a Protestant minister until he began to examine scripture more closely and found a home in the Catholic Church.

Most of Dr. Hahn's books are the exclusive work of his brilliant mind and I have yet to read one that didn't teach me many things and help me understand better the things that I thought that I knew. In somewhat of a departure however the good doctor only writes one chapter and serves as co-editor of the rest of the essays that make up this book. Surprisingly, Dr. Hahn's chapter is not the best one to be found within this collection but among such other fine works that is nothing to be ashamed of. Among the best chapters are those by Curtis Martin, Kris Gray, Timothy Gray and Kimberly Hahn all of whom shine in a sky full of stars.

The basic theme for this collection of essays is the Church as the family of God (familia Dei) and each and every chapter deals with some aspect of this reality. From chapters on Our Lady's role as our mother, Divine sonship, the Church as the bride of Christ and the reality of Purgatory to the use of the term Father when addressing a Priest this book covers many interesting facets of our Catholic family. Best of all everything is explained in an easy to read and understand method with the authors not assuming that we are all as well educated in the Faith as they are.

There are a few negative aspects of this book however that deserve some attention. In any collection of essays some will be better than others and that is certainly the case here. None of the essays are bad, or even average for that matter but some of them are just a bit dry in places. Another problem is that some of the authors tend to use way too many quotes, one of which is so long that it takes up an entire page. Some quotations are reasonable and necessary but some of these authors push the limits a little too far. One other point that registers as both a negative and a positive is the somewhat repetitive nature of some essays. It is excellent that the main them is discussed time and again and that the subject is never far from the surface but too often I found myself thinking that I must have lost my place because I had read the same exact thing just minutes ago. I don't know how this could have been avoided but it was sometimes disconcerting.

There is much to know about the Catholic Faith and despite some minor flaws Dr. Hahn and company have done a marvelous job of explaining some of the very basics of Church teaching. They are not mean spirited or pompous as they explain to us less educated Catholics some things that we really should have known already. This book can justifiably be touted as another winner in the Hahn collection.

If you want to take a leap in your faith, this is the book for you. The depth of the book is fantastic and should be read over and over for it to sink in. I am buying 5 more copies to give to my closes friends...and I have never done that before. Need I say more.

This is an amazing book that helps understand and love Catholic theology. I will be taking RCIA classes soon, and I can't imagine a better book for preparation. The contributing authors are brilliant, inspiring, and motivating. Put this book at the top of your list!

Today the number of Catholics that do no go to mass, or do not have a clear idea why go to mass at all, is immense. Catholic for a reason is an excellent tool in helping those Catholics to come to know and love the Faith they received at baptism. Great book!

Im not gonna write a summary b/c u can read the others! i just wanted to say taht this book is soooo freakin awsome. Its soo good, and im SOOOOOO GALD About Rae and Anthnoy getting 2ghter!! like oMG, ive been waiting for that to happen! and one thing how could u guys have not known who eles was after Rae!!! lIKE OMG IT WAS SOOOO OBVIOUS, OR MYB IM JUST RLY GOOD AT SOLIVING STUFF LIKE THAT!! WELL ANYWAYS IT WAS RLY GOOD< GO AND READ IT A>S>P

This is one of the best series I have ever read. It has a twist of suspense/mystery as well as romance. Rae's ability to hear thoughts through a single fingerprint helps her find out the true secret of her mother. It will also help find who is out to kill her. I couldn't put these books down, I read book 1 - 7 in less than 2 weeks, and i guarntee you will too!

Steve Mercer, the scientist who enhanced the psi abilities of people like her mother, and herself, was finally dead. Rae was definitely ready to put all of this behind her and to move forward. The first step towards being normal again was to get back together with Marcus. He doesn't make Rae feel anywhere near the same as Anthony, but Yana and Anthony totally betrayed her trust and so she is ready to go with someone safe, someone normal. She feels like she has succeeded when she and Marcus are voted Moonbeam King & Queen, but Anthony destroys the evening by telling her that someone still wants her dead.

Anthony wishes that he could relax now that Mercer is dead, but he knows that the danger to Rae is not over. For one thing, someone painted Unclean all over her locker in red and then passed out flyers about Rae's mother all over school. Anthony is trying to protect Rae, but she can hardly stand to be around him.

When Yana shows up, begging Rae for help, Rae really wants to turn her down flat. But when she finds out that Yana's dad wants to send her to Fair Haven, a mental institution, so that she will be out of his way, Rae knows that she has to do something. She could hardly stand to be in that place and can't bear to see someone else locked up there. What Rae doesn't know is that she is in the middle of another deadly game - and this time, Rae's life is the prize...

Book #6 in the Fingerprints series was another great book. The tension is really building and everything is starting to come together and make sense. A lot of my questions were answered here and it is now time for Rae to start making some plans instead of just reacting. Too bad that she seems too stupid to connect the dots! That was my only complaint about this book, that Rae didn't seem able to put the clues together so she was totally clueless near the end of the book. I know that she is smarter than that! Anyway, hopefully you have read the first 5 books in the series so you know what is going on, and, if not, I would highly recommend reading them first. For the first time, there is actually some closure at the end of this book, but we know that Rae's story is far from over. Keep #7 ready to find out what happens to Rae & Anthony next!

This book is grat it has so many turns and twists rea is finally back with marcus but then her secret about her mom is reavealed and marcus is embaresed of her on top of that yana's dad wants to get rid of her but douse he the end changes everything and let me give you a hint the 6th book ends almost like the fourth think about it!
I loved it and I hope you will to its the person you least expect

I love all the Fingerprints books, but the last few have been a bit disappointing. But REVELATIONS is a breath of fresh air for the series, it never had me bored.

Rae Voight is mad at her two best - and pretty much only - friends Anthony and Yana. They went out behind her back, and it tore her apart...they "betrayed" her. But on the birght side, she's back with her old boyfriend Marcus, and doesn't want anything to do with Anthony or Yana. Anyway, one day Anthony spots something that he feels Rae needs to know about - a message was written on her locker in red paint, and he thinks it's a warning. When he goes to tell her, she brushes him off, definately letting him know that she isn't interested in what he has to say.

After a while, Rae forgives Yana (she's still mad at Anthony, though) and they start to hang out. That's when Yana tells Rae something really important: Yana's dad is trying to get her put into the same institution that Rae was in after her "episode." Even though Rae isn't very happy with Yana, she decides to help her. But when Rae and Yana run off to escape the doctors, they find themselves in a very dangerous situation.

REVELATIONS is definately my favorite book from the Fingerprints series. The best part? We finally find out who wants Rae dead. A must read.

Overall rating - A+

She seems very serious. There is a lot of gloom and doom. She says dispose of your microwaves, contact your supermarkets and express your concern, write to your media to petition your objection to subliminal advertising, and she goes on. There is a lot of information here, if true it seems pretty bad and might be good to know. But book reads a little pushy and demanding. If you did some of the things she professess after reading the book people would think you were psycho.

If you've been drawn to this title, this book will change your life. For me it was like finding answers to so many questions I'd had all my life. It is a MUST READ for anyone on an ascension path. I recommend reading Cosmos of the soul and Atlantis Rising first, to lay the groundwork, but I did not, and No More Lies blew me away. Rated very high on my Truthometer. Do not miss these books.

Don't be put off by the high price! Go to Patricia Cori's website for normal priced ($18 or so after shipping) copies of this book if there are none on amazon...which there NEVER are...being that it is the most damaging to the order it's quite a "coincidence" ;)

1st half of the book is excellent, practical, essential stuff. 2nd half can be challenging to grasp but is wonderful...and the feeling you get reading the 2nd half is awesome.

This is the first time I have ever reviewed a book - but I just had to tell as many as I can about this great work, the third book of the trilogy of life-altering books, The Sirian Revelations by Patricia Cori.
I am an avid reader, a lover of classic metaphysical books and a student of the universe and I have spent my life searching as we all are for a greater understanding of the cosmos and our role in it.
These three books have put so many pieces and bits together for me, calling me back to that seat of my soul where all the wisdom waits for me to reconnect - and thanks to Patricia I have indeed rediscovered that ultimate truth - the only truth, which is the higher self!
The work is unlike any other channeled material you will ever read - it is grounded, ego-less, empowering, filled with the knowledge we need to get through the whirling confusion and out of the tempest.
To Pat Cori - I say thank you for your commitment, your courage and your love for humankind. I was searching, and now I am found.
To the readers - I say GET THIS BOOK...get the whole trilogy. You will, as Pat says, 'stand tall against all adversity' after you read them.

This book came into my life just at the right time. I might not have been ready for it back when I was still numb to the truth but a mentor sent the book to me and said it would change my life - and it did.
Patricia Cori's work is ultimately significant to us all. I recommend you read this now and help the book guide you through the fear and into the light.
