  From the very beginning Christians have sought alternative authorities - apostolic authority, the Church Fathers, Catholicism, Scripture, Calvinism, scholarship, charismatic ecstasy. When Luke wrote his volume Two ( Acts ), the sequel to his Gospel, was he, like Paul, aware of the danger? Did he write simply to extol the exploits of the first Christians and prepare their leaders for canonization? This book suggests that Luke may have had other agendas. The unique opportunity his researches gave him to compare the ministry of Jesus with that of his followers led him to record some events that show the apostles in a bad light. John Henson believes that when Luke sets down these events his disapproval may be detected. In this second edition John Henson also shows how Luke champions an alternative team of apostles. This is an unusual approach to the study of Acts . The aim is not to debunk the apostles but to encourage Christians to seek over and over again the mind of Jesus.

  There is something mysterious surrounding hormones, women never quite get the concrete answers they are looking for. They get blood screenings, scans, squabs, scraps and smears, and they all come back negative, even though they intuitively know there is something wrong. We must be missing something important when it comes to hormones, and after 15 years of working with women as a holistic practitioner, Linda Crockett has found solutions to this hormonal dilemma. Hormonal conditions today are treated on a very physical level, with either synthetic hormones or organ removal. What is missing then, in our understanding of hormonal conditions is that they are not only of the physical level, but are governed by emotions and driven by the spirit of women. When treatment dismisses the emotional and spiritual aspects of women's lives, healing of hormonal conditions remains unattainable.Through reading each chapter of this book women get to explore all aspects of themselves, bringing an approachable understanding to their physical symptoms, recognizing the hidden emotional origins of their hormonal conditions, and finding the solutions to their health problems. This book is written with enough intellect to get the science right, with the intuitive knowledge to have the readers nod in acknowledgement, and with the wisdom needed to bring healing.
