Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Although Echo Bodine has enjoyed her work as a professional psychic, she began to feel that her services might be misleading people to look outside of themselves instead of within themselves for answers and guidance. A Small, Still Voice is her response to that concern, in which she sets out to help readers develop and hear their own "small, still voice" of intuition--a voice that Bodine believes is really the sound of God's guidance. Count on the same uncomplicated and clear narration that is a trademark of Bodine's earlier books (Echoes of the Soul, Relax, It's Only a Ghost). The main complaint here is that the structure of the book seems slightly cockeyed. In the beginning chapters, Bodine advises readers to listen to their inner voice (that comes from the gut--not the head) when answering personal questions on health, relationships, and finances. Yet, Bodine doesn't teach readers how to hear and interpret this inner voice until midway through the book (in the chapter titled "Living by a Small, Still Voice"). Bodine does offer an interesting early chapter that lists questions best answered by one's own intuition and questions best answered by a psychic. For example, ask yourself the question "Will I marry the man I'm engaged to?" But ask a psychic "Will you please connect with my soul and find out what my purpose for being here is?" Bodine promises great returns on efforts to strengthen and follow one's inner voice--and her inspirational writing makes it hard not to believe her. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

In A Still, Small Voice, famed psychic Echo Bodine turns to a subject she knows deeply and is passionate about: intuition. Using humorous anecdotes and a positive, readable style, this sequel to Echoes of the Soul explores what intuition is, where it’s located, what it sounds like, and how to cultivate it. The author, who comes from a family of psychics, exposes the various internalized voices that can mask one’s intuition. These include the voices of parents, grandparents, peers, therapists, significant others, religious figures, and society, along with such emotions as anger, fear, guilt, and despair. The book challenges the notions that psychic abilities and intuition are the same or that they are in some way suspect. One chapter is devoted to the many practical benefits that come from listening to intuition; another looks at the “faith-building times” in life and how to cope with others’ negative reactions to one’s setting off on a spiritual path.

This book is a good reminder that we need to get back to the basics of life and begin to trust ourselves again. With the over whelming information we get from the media: TV, Newspapers, cell phones, work, etc. We need more than ever to sit down and listen to our inner voice that never gets a chance give us the most important information we need....the God within! Love this little book.

This is the second book by Echo that I have read. I have sentences underlined, pages dog-eared, and notes in the margins. I can't explain why you should buy the book, but I was curious. I love the way she writes, and I have truly connected to her books. Best of luck on your life's journey.

5 out of 5 stars I love Echo Bodine........2007-01-04

I just love Echo's books. This one is no exception. She writes very clearly and practically...everyone would benefit by being even a little more in-tune with their intuition, right! We've forgotten the ways of our ancestors who depended on their inner guidance system to survive.. before technology and emphasis on thinking took center stage in our lives. Imagine the possibilities if we were to utilize both effectively in our lives! wow.

3 out of 5 stars A Still Small Voice.......2007-02-07

An interesting but cautious and fairly dry attempt to discuss how conservative one must be when identifying faith related experiences.

5 out of 5 stars comfort for the confused.......2005-09-06

Father Groeschel has written a comforting, clear and practical book on personal visions and aparitions and the New Age. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints, particularly St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa as well as his own learning, he gives a simple rule for discerning whether your vision is true or whether to believe in an aparition you may have heard of. He also discusses the Course in Miracles and how destructive it was to the woman who wrote it and how it is still dangerous today.

This is a deep subject obviously, but Father Groeschel writes in such a down to earth way that you don't need to be a theologian or a mystic in order to digest this excellent book.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Inspirational Reading for the Spiritually Challenged.......2005-02-28

Although I've enjoyed visiting the famous religious shrine at Lourdes, France and spent many tourist days attending daily Mass at Rome's St. Peter's Basilica, it's nevertheless a tough sell for me to appreciate the mystical or supernatural side of any human being's spirituality. Loving God and devotion to the sacred scriptures are lots different than talking to the saints or seeing visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Honestly, those fascinating phenomena are alien to a mortal soul who works hard to practice my Roman Catholic faith, like me. Therefore, I'm absolutely consoled by "A Still, Small Voice", by Father Benedict J. Groeschel, because he explains how, oftentimes, even the saints themselves i.e., Saint Catherine of Siena, for example, as well as others around them could be deceived by mystical revelations. As human beings, saints are subject to a memory snafu once in awhile. Many ordinary people do not disclose personal revelations to others until some life event or spiritual director allows them to recount their experience, like Saint Catherine Laboure, for example. Also explained, in wonderfully ordinary prose, is the nature of revelations, how they can be misrepresented and justifiably even dismissed as being real. This summary account of how to better understand mystical or supernatural revelations is an appetizer into other, more in depth, readings by quoted writers like Father Thomas Dubay, author of "The Fire Within", plus the mystical writings of St. Teresa of Avila. Thoroughly footnoted, the information provided in this wonderful read gives credibility to a field of religion many professional clergy would just as soon avoid. I will send copies of this book to several clergy friends of mine who are spiritual guides themselves, because I believe it is a must read for everybody who claims to experience divine revelations but, mostly, it's a source of comfort for those of us who are simply in awe of these profoundly mystical experiences. Moreover, "A Still, Small Voice" stands alone as meditation by itself, even for a skeptic or non-religious person.

5 out of 5 stars Helpful, illuminating, and consoling........2004-11-28

I secured a copy of Fr. Groeschel's book to help me better understand and evaluate a good friend's claims of having messages and visions from God. A cradle Catholic, she began receiving revelations about 5 years ago at age 45--from St. Joan of Arc, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Thomas More, St Patrick,Blessed Mother Mary, Jesus, and God the Father. I am a university professor trained in the philosphy of science, and was at first skeptical but soon began believing her claims. After all, she is a rational person and an administrative law judge to boot. Through the four years of our friendship, I listened to her revelations, with a mixture of awe, a residual skepticism, and some envy because God is silent for me. But I tell myself that God's silence is entirely understandable given the sinner that I am, having only recently returned to my faith after an agnostic lapse of 30 years.

As time passed, her messages grew in frequency. I increasingly began to doubt her. Not only were her messages coming at a daily rate, they were also unfailingly self-serving: God loves her, calls her his "daughter," and promises to protect her from all her enemies who will be "defeated before they even begin." All this to an individual who constantly "strokes" herself, is always right and never wrong, and whom a priest once identified her chief sin as that of pride.

Fr. Groeschel's book has been extremely illuminating and helpful. He cautions skepticism toward all claims of diviine revelations, noting that the Vatican itself is very careful in certifying them. He divides bogus claims into varioius types: some are outright frauds; some are psychologically disturbed; still others are simply self-deluded because of their strong need & desire to believe. Most importantly, he reminds us that God expects more from those whom He favors with revelations--the apostles were often reprimanded by Jesus. The last chapter of the book is especially consoling. Not only has Fr. Groeschel himself not been graced with messages and visions--and I consider him to be a holy man--he reminds us that not all religious experiences have to take the extraordinary form of visions and messages. God speaks to each of us in His own way. As Groeschel put it: "Everyone reading this book has had some remarkable religious experiences in life. Remarkable, but not extraordinary. Unfortunately, we tend to overlook them, to forget them, to tuck them away, to allow them to lapse into oblivion. And yet, they are the words of God spoken to us as real as the words spoken to Abraham, Moses, and St. Paul."

5 out of 5 stars A practical guide for discerning spiritual matters.......2000-05-04

Perhaps one of the defining characteristics of the Catholic Church in the 20th century has been the proliferation of private revelations from Fatima to Medjugorje to Conyers, Georgia. Not every reported revelation is truly from God and not even those private revelations inspired by God but relayed through flawed human beings are free from all error.

How does a faithful Catholic determine which apparition or vision to listen to and which to ignore? And what do we do about those inner promptings we feel when we pray, those inclinations that we believe are God guiding us?

Fr. Benedict Groeschel uses his education in theology and psychology and his incisive wisdom to offer a practical guide to dealing with private revelations, visions, and other phenomena. This book is neither a skeptic nor a credulous observer, but takes the position that the Lord wishes to communicate with His people and does so in varied ways that required careful discernment by them.

First, Fr. Groeschel observes an historic perspective on private revelations and offers a fundamental basis for looking at them. Above all, private revelations are different from the one, complete public revelation in that they reveal nothing new and that the must only be observed in so far as they reflect the teachings already present in Scripture and Tradition, the two sources of the Word of God, public revelation.

Second, the book then delves into the Church's criteria for investigating and then deciding on the authenticity of revelations, a long, laborious process that gives comfort in that error is assiduously avoided through diligence. Among the surprising discoveries presented by Fr. Groeschel is that some revelations by canonized saints were later debunked, even before the canonization was complete. The declaration of courageous holiness does presume inerrancy for all statement . If that were true, then there would be no canonized saints among flawed humanity.

Fr. Groeschel provides many examples of errant revelations, including St. Catherine of Siena's famous declaration that the Virgin Mary herself revealed to the saint that she was not immaculately conceived. How could this be if the Church later declared it a dogma? Fr. Groeschel reveals that the role of the psyche in religious experiences is not completely understood -- and likely never will be -- and we do not know to what extent it will "taint" the vision or revelation. And that is another way in which private revelation is different from the public revelation: the Holy Spirit intervenes in public revelation to prevent the taint of untruth.

The book also makes clear that just because a saint is wrong in one area, it does not invalidate other apparitions or revelations made by him. This is why a Catholic must presuppose a primary obedience to the wisdom of the Church in her declarations of validity. Even if we are convinced of the authenticity of a vision or apparition, and even if we are later proven right when the Church declares a previously invalidated revelation to know be licit, we can never go wrong seeking the wisdom of the Church. After all, reported revelations do not reveal anything that is not already in the Word of God.

Bottom Line : A Still, Small Voice is not a scholarly book, if by scholarly we mean a technical reference for theologians and the like. Instead, it is a practical guide for everyone, from those who eagerly greet each reported revelation as an opportunity to see the Lord's intervention into history to those who cautiously stand back waiting for the Church's declarations. And even more so, it is a practical guide for each Christian who prays, seeking the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the guidance of God, so that we may truly discern our own desires from God's own promptings in our heart.

Book Description

A spellbinding novel of love and war from "a young writer of great promise."
-- Paul Auster

Written with a storyteller's grace and a poet's touch, John Reed's powerful first novel is a true adventure of the heart -- at once a passionate love story and a sweeping historical saga set against a vivid backdrop of the Civil War....

The year is 1859 as seven-year-old Alma Flynt arrives in the Kentucky town of Cotterpin Creek to begin a new life. There, Alma will have as friends, neighbors, and benefactors the magnificent Cleveland family.

With their sprawling mansion and gleaming thoroughbred horses, the Clevelands are a wonder. But from the beginning, one Cleveland draws all of Alma's attention: the youngest son, John Warren.

Alma knew they were meant for each other from their first meeting. But everything changes as war descends on Cotterpin Creek, taking John Warren to battle and sweeping his family into the chaos.

Against this turbulent backdrop, Alma will come of age. And when the fighting is over, the story of a brave young man riding off to battle becomes a haunting journey of vengeance and redemption. And for Alma, yet another journey begins on the day a tormented young soldier staggers back into her life.

I found this book to be very intriguing and thought provoking as well as quite entertaining. The day-to-day details of Civil War era life and lifestyle were fascinating additions to the "love story".

5 out of 5 stars WOW!!! WHAT A BOOK!!!.......2002-06-21

This book is written so beautifully that at some points I found myself reading pages over and over again just for the simple beauty of the words! This book is about love, loss and the hardships and the simple pleasures of life just before and after the Civil War. It is a poetic, funny, sad and romantic story about enduring love and how it haunts us. At times I did become a little frustrated with all the "horse talk" however, the "horse talk" does set the mood so one feels they are sitting on a old farm house porch in Kentucky staring at the horses grazing on the blue grass of that beautiful state! I recommend this book to readers who are tired of the same old historical romance books that grace the shelves of every bargain department store! READ THIS BOOK!! YOU WILL BE CAPTIVATED BY IT!!!

5 out of 5 stars Exquisite!.......2002-05-20

I wish more books were written along the same lines as "A Still Small Voice." John Reed has produced a meticulously written narrative full of grace and gentility, emotion and strength.

This is the story of Alma, orphaned and taken in by her aunt, the root doctor, who teaches Alma folk medicine, self-sufficiency, wisdom and courage. Set before, during and after the Civil War, this is not a war story, although the circumstances of the war figure greatly. This is a coming of age book in which the female lead learns what every American girl should know -- that it is okay to be yourself and like yourself.

Reminded me in many ways of the "Little House on the Prairie" series. Written without gratuitous violence, sex or foul language, I recommend "A Still Small Voice" for teenagers as well as adults.

Book Description

A Still Small Voice lets you travel through the rubble of a broken life restored by Grace. For the first thirty years of my life, I heard only the voices around me. My parents. My grandparents. My aunts. As I grew older, other voices came along. Teachers. Peers. Friends. Employers. Co-workers. Husband. Children. All with an opinion concerning my life. I became full of anger, depression, and rebellion...and I didn't know why. It was only when I learned to listen to a still small voice within that I began to live, and to experience joy and excitement. That still small voice led me to a pulpit. It can as easily lead one to be a talk-show host, a baseball player, or a stay-at-home mom. It is the only voice that can lead anyone to their true self and destiny. Listen for it.

5 out of 5 stars Yes, God really does speak........2005-05-25

Yes, God speaks to those that listens but in this book you will find His presence can be felt by those He chooses. This book will bring the realization of a grandmothers persistent prayer for her granddaughter's life. You will also feel the emotional struggle of a young mother as she learns the still small voice of God in her life. This is a wonderful enjoyable book about a real person and her life as a Christian.

3 out of 5 stars Wonderful idea: nicely done.......2000-11-22

This book is one of those where, after a single reading, fifteen years ago, I can remember the main plot very clearly, because it is (basically) a single idea, beautifully strung out and delivered with zest by a real storytelling craftsman.

Actually it is a single idea about "a single idea", which is an amusing symmetry.

I wish I'd had this and more like it to read when I was younger.

4 out of 5 stars Trumpets Indeed! (Or, why aren't more people reading this?.......2000-08-02

Science fiction authors tackle many themes in their work, from politics to sociology, from history to the military. But how many write creatively of the interplay between people and their artistic culture? The only author I know to attempt this regularly is Lloyd Biggle. In Trumpets, a prequel to World Mendors, he asks the question: how would a deeply artistic people appear to those who are blind to this aspect of culture? And, given that the blind have a worthy goal in mind, how can they effect a cultural change in an artistic society without ruining it? I wouldn't say that Biggle explores this topic perfectly in Trumpets (for that, see either World Mendors or Monument), but this book is still a highly exciting, thought-provoking read. Better still, it is a book you will remember long after you close the last pages. And, in the end, what more can one ask of a volume?

5 out of 5 stars A Distinguished Work on the History of the USA's Relations with Two Church-States.......2007-07-19

The Roman Catholic Church went through her ups and downs and became the nation called Vatican City State. Then she got special access to the USA through diplomatic protocol that no other "church" on earth has. I always wondered why the USA Government made all those Catholic holidays into federal law.

President John F. Kennedy's secret Vatican connections were never exposed by the elite media (the same ones who did not report about his adultery with women did not inform us about his adulterous church-state affairs). So it turns out JFK implemented the pope's encyclical Pacem en Terris into our public policies. Meanwhile the church made Pacem en Terris the cornerstone of Vatican II's church-state manifesto. President LBJ took over after they knocked off JFK and adopted all of his Catholic policies which every single President since their terms have contributed to implementing. I am mad as hell at the news media for not exposing the Government's involvement with the Vatican!!!

All those ancient nations in the Bible book of Daniel gave rise to the modern nations on the map in the Middle East today. The most interesting thing to me was the secret national archives documents that prove what the end-time world order is going to be.

The intertwined roles of Zionist Israel, the Vatican, and the USA in causing Armageddon is what surprises me the most; this part was so fascinating because it really makes the Bible relevant to us today. The historical details prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

But the most surprising thing to me is the hidden meaning that the authors found deep in the original Greek word (derived from Hebrew) translated as "Armageddon." They are the first to put this landmark word into proper perspective ... marking something fabulous that is about to happen to the world. Nobody has explained the proper context of the word ever before.

5 out of 5 stars A Still Small Voice Within.......2006-02-14

This collection should be read in its entirety first, then kept nearby for repeated renewing. In a world where we hear loud, brassy messages, we sometimes forget to listen within. This book reminds us that it is the simple, everyday tasks and events that make us who we are, and cement our relationship to our God.

5 out of 5 stars Listening.......2006-01-22

The author shares her experience of hearing the "still small voice within" in a way that draws her readers into that experience. Her poetic and prayerful expression leads the reader into the common ground of meditating on our discovery of another way of hearing our own "small voice within". I recommend this book as a source of meditations for us all.
