An invitation to listen in on, and perhaps join in, the voyage of mutual discovery between God and humanity which is the central thread of the book of Genesis.
Millions of women have felt the power of birth, and countless women long for it. But for too many, birth can seem like a purely clinical experience — something to get through as quickly as possible in order to get on with the joys of being a mother. In Made for This, author Mary Haseltine draws on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body to show that birth is an essential part of who God created women to be, body and soul. With real-life stories from many moms and practical tips — including preparing for birth, making informed choices, helping fathers embrace their role in the birth room, and encountering the work of labor — this book is an indispensable guide for navigating the physical and spiritual dimensions of pregnancy and birth. Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience. About the Author Mary Haseltine is a theology graduate and a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. With a passion for building a culture of life through the teachings of the Theology of the Body, she works to bring an awareness and practice of the teachings of the Church into the realm of childbirth, mothering, and pregnancy loss. She lives in Western New York with her husband and five sons. You can find more of her writing at www.betterthaneden.com.

Father Luigi Gambero, internationally-known expert on early Christianity, presents a comprehensive survey of the development of Marian doctrine and devotion during the first eight centuries. Focusing on the lives and works of over thirty of the most famous Church Fathers and early Christian writers, Fr. Gambero has produced a clear and readable summary of the richness of the patristic age's theological and devotional approach to the Mother of God. The book contains numerous citations from the works of those men who developed the defining Christological and Mariological positions that have constituted the foundational doctrinal teaching of the Church. Each chapter concludes with an extended reading from the works of the patristic authors. A number of these texts have never before been published in English. The thought of the Fathers and early Christian writers continues to fascinate readers today. Their theological acuity and spiritual depth led them faithfully into the mysteries of Sacred Scripture. Their vast experience made them reliable and trustworthy witnesses to the faith of the people of God.
St Irenaeus is the most important theologian of the second century, laying the foundation for all future Christian thinkers. Irenaeus tells us that he had known Polycarp, who had himself known the apostles and been appointed by them as the bishop of the church of Smyrna. This direct contact with the immediate successors of the apostles was of importance for Irenaeus in his later defense of Christian practice and teaching. In this work Against the Heresies, he was the first to utilize the full range of apostolic writings in his controversy with the Gnostics and others. Uniting, for the first time, the whole history of God's activity in one all-encompassing divine economy, Irenaeus demonstrates that there is but one God, who has made Himself known through His one Son, Jesus Christ, by the one Holy Spirit, to the one human race, bringing His creatures made from mud into the intimacy of communion with Himself.
In "The Birth of a Blessing: A Fertile Spirit, the author compares the Spiritual Birth process with the natural birth process. He takes us on a journey step by step that demonstrates Gods work in us and through us as well as how to strengthen our faith in Him. No believer, man or woman is excluded from spiritual pregnancy. For every believer has the right to spiritual blessings. Believers must nurture the special "seed" that is planted within them until it is mature enough to be delivered. God has prepared a special blessing for those who love and trust Him. As with natural pregnancy, the first trimester is the most critical. During the earlier stage, the enemy lurks in every corner waiting to snatch the seed of the word of God out of the believer like the seed that fell on stony ground. That seed was initially received with joy just like the natural news of pregnancy. However, if the seed is not planted deeply, the seed cannot take root, as it should. Moreover, when trouble comes, the initial enthusiasm is lost and the pregnancy is aborted. This book examines the development of the believers faith and spiritual strength. The full- term birthing of the blessing is the most anticipated part. By the time it comes to fruition, believers are certain of their spiritual convictions and faith in God and have gained confidence. This, however, does not guarantee them freedom from trials and temptation. Satan is always around to put doubt in the hearts of believers, no matter how strong or weak their faith is. This book is filled with the Word of God and the works of God. It provides clear and concise help in bringing understanding to the preparation that precedes the blessings that God has promised for our lives. Not only is this book a valuable resource for every believer truly seeking to know the will of God and walk in it, but it is also a powerful teaching tool that will benefit ministry groups of any size. I pray that this book will aid in bringing about a supernatural revelation that will change your life forever. What God has for you, is for you.

Unlike many books on the Second Coming, The Birth Pangs explores prophecy starting with just the Bible and no preconceived ideas. Author Dr. Abdul-Malak gives fresh and unique insight into key prophetic events and passages found throughout the Bible. When it comes to controversial events, such as the Second Coming or the timing of the Rapture, he challenges mainstream theories in an objective and unbiased manner, subjecting them to rigorous examination in light of other appropriate Scriptures. His goal was to create a straightforward, holistic account of the end times that any Christian can grasp. The Birth Pangs is the fruit of that labor. With the trained eye of a diligent professional, Dr. Abdul-Malak harnesses his experience with thousands of labors as a gynecologist, taking readers on a fascinating journey through the most confusing and controversial parts of the Bibleend-time prophecies. As a skilled surgeon, he carefully dissects God's Word one layer at a time, revealing the details and hidden treasures in the cryptic language of prophecy. Like the labor process, he believes that end-time prophecy should be simple enough for every Christian to understand. With detailed explanations and imagery, Dr. Abdul-Malak reveals exactly why Jesus referred to the end times as The Birth Pangs.
‘…times have not changed…’, ‘in fact it has quickened’ and ‘…there is nothing new under the Sun…’ except for the arrival of the Age of the Creature of Features. And the Orders of the First Men are about to rise as the Age of the Republics that sprung out from the Age of the Kings voyages into its final Ocean of Influence. The time has come again for kingdoms to be crafted, alliances to be forged and ancient orders to be resuscitated in the Abode of Men. Cast onto the minds is a convoluted doctrine that has ensnared the Promise of the Nations and the Idea of Sovereignty into a faithless discourse. A certain tongue of a Creature has been spoken and a certain measure of a Yeast has been dropped and this doctrine is canonised into a dogma. Why has this doctrine become infallible when in truth, there is another Doctrine of Hope operating in the spirit of inspiring unity, where it is remarkably possible and feasible to build a kingdom or a nation no matter how small it is. Right of the Birth is the journey where you will take to understand the Doctrine of Hope, which will reveal to you the Kingdom or Nation you possess in the Womb of Life. It is written so that you must not become the Man of Doubt but the Man of Faith—that you must wrestle for your destiny and become the True Heirs of all your rightful inheritances.
