New Release The Metaphysics of Spiritual Healing and the Power of Affirmative Prayer by Reverend Michael Carter

Can Prayer Truly Heal Body and Soul? In The Metaphysics of Spiritual Healing and the Power of Affirmative Prayer, Reverend Carter continues to focus on the God-Power that resides in each and every one of us. Acknowledging that traditional Christianity teaches that we are indeed separate from our Creator or Source, Reverend Carter emphasizes that we can be transformed by "the renewing of our minds" using the techniques of spiritual metaphysics and affirmative prayer. When we really come to believe that we are not separate from but indeed part of the energy and Intelligence many of us refer to as "God," we become happier, more loving, and fulfilled human beings. In this way, the world we have awaited for will eventually become the world attained.

Coming Soon! God Consciousness: A 30 Day Journey to Achieve God-centered Thinking by Reverend Michael Carter

We thought it was time to let everyone know that we're working on Reverend Michael Carter's latest book, God Consciousness: A 30 Day Journey to Achieve God-centered Thinking. In a departure from his previous books, best-selling author Reverend Michael Carter shares a month long course designed to reestablish your connection with your higher power. no matter what your conception of the divine. God Consciousness: A 30 Day Journey to God-centered Thinking reminds us that nothing separates us from God. It is only the habit of identifying ourselves with mental, emotional, and physical states and objective phenomena that causes and sustains the illusion of independent existence. At the core of our being, all knowledge of the infinite energy of Consciousness, sometime times referred to as God, and its processes resides within us. The daily lessons in God Consciousness: A 30 Day Journey to God-centered Thinking will clarify your awareness. Apply the recommended practices to unveil and bring forth your own essence, your own spiritual and innate knowledge.

Returning to his metaphysical spiritual roots, Rev. Carter is drawing from his own personal experience, and the wisdom he has gleaned from the ageless teachings of A Course In Miracles, Unity Christianity, Religious Science, and Eastern Religious Traditions to compile a spiritual tool kit for the lay person. Encouraging all  true spiritual seekers to look within, this 30 day calendar seeks to empower the individual to really embody the teaching that the Kingdom and Queendom of “God” exists within each and everyone of us, and that this realization is the key to the deep inner transformation we are all seeking, regardless of race, religion, sexuality, political party, or any of the other illusions and delusions this world has to offer. As the old African proverb states, “ If there is no enemy within, the enemy without can do us no harm.”

A New World If You Can Take It by Ancient Aliens Guest Rev. Michael J. Carter

Author of Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible and frequent guest of History Channel’s Ancient Aliens series, Reverend Michael Carter, takes ancient astronaut theory to its next developmental step in his latest work, A New World If You Can Take It: God, Extraterrestrials, and the Evolution Of Human Consciousness. Drawing on the works of such giants as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, it is well established that many in the UFO community believe that our ancient ancestors mistook extraterrestrial visitors for all powerful deities. Reverend Carter builds on this outlook by reexamining religious and spiritual philosophies and demonstrating how off-world intelligences shaped early religious teachings.

The concepts presented in this book are not for the spiritually faint of heart or those with closed minds. Reverend Carter courageously asks, and answers, the next rational question: How can one reconcile spirituality and faith with a belief that ancient astronauts influenced the events depicted in humanity’s greatest holy texts? Expanding on this line of questioning, Reverend Carter explores how expanding one’s spiritual consciousness may actually lead to the next step in human evolution.

Are you searching for more out of life? Do you have questions about what you have been taught by organized religion? Do you feel that if the world’s diverse population recognized their shared singular tradition of extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs would foster peace and prosperity for all of humanity? Can the messages from present day Star Visitors to contactees hold the key to unlocking your spiritual potential? Reverend Michael Carter encourages his readers to ask these questions, research for answers, and embrace what resonates with your heart. Are you ready for a New World?

This title is available in traditional print and eBook formats at fine online retails such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, Book Depository, iBookstore,Kobo eBooks, Scribd, and Smashwords.
