The Priest Is Not His Own asks the Catholic priest to view himself as not only a shepherd of his flock, but as a victim, just as Christ was a victim. Unlike priests of other faiths who offered sacrifices of animals and other men to the gods, Christ offered himself as the sacrifice that would save all mankind. While Archbishop Sheen doesn’t ask the priest to sacrifice his earthly life, he does ask him to sacrifice his entire soul to Christ on the Cross in every Mass and his entire body to Christ with the breaking of bread.

In his 1934 book, The Science and Fine Art of Fasting, Herbert M. Shelton outlined his theory that fasting is a key component in promoting healing. The book’s ideas run counter to the well-known conventional wisdom that those who are sick must eat to “keep up their strength” and posits that fasting is a natural part of the rhythm of life.  

Two great works attributed to the great Jesse Livermore presented together in one volume with a new foreword by Juliette Rogers. Both contain interesting insights into Livermore’s life and times as well as the reasons for his success. They remain classics and must a must listen for every new aspirant in the world of speculation.

When God recommends someone to you, then you need to pay attention. The Holy Spirit is not just your conscience; he is not a wind, and he is not a force that pushes people down. As a Christian, you may have heard so much about the Holy Spirit. You may even speak so greatly of him. And of course, read of him in almost every Christian literature. However, in your daily life, do you experience him?

Atomic Power with God, Thru Fasting and Prayer is a short work by the spirited evangelist Franklin Hall. The book describes how prayer during extended fasts can heal the body and soul, and bring practitioners greater spiritual power to exalt and glorify Jesus Christ. In the book, Hall described his own introduction to fasting and prayer through friendship with a Oklahoma family advocating the practice in 1932. He fasted and prayed with them in anticipation of a large revival-and at the ensuing event, "scores of people were healed of all types of afflictions."

Written by 42-plus-year veteran Fire Chief Gary Ludwig and the foreword by Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, this book provides 401 ways to help you become a better firefighter.  

Fulton J. Sheen - bishop, scholar, professor, radio and television personality, and writer - spent his life sharing the Word of God with millions of Christians across the world. One of his best-known works is The Life of Christ, written in 1954. This book explores the foretelling of Christ's birth, his life, temptations, death, and resurrection. But while Sheen himself was a scholar and an academic, his recounting is both listenable and accessible to the layperson.

In the horse riding world, your success is determined by how well you can control, understand, and harmonize with a 1,000+ pound animal that has superior strength, is faster, and has a better-developed nervous system than you. The way you overcome these strengths in a horse is to understand what the horse’s limitations are.

Active Listening is a short 1957 work by Drs. Carl R. Rogers and Richard E. Farson, two influential American psychologists. The work brings the counselling technique of active listening to the layperson, demonstrating how it can be applied to interactions between an employee and employer.

Faith is the beauty and power of the Christian journey. It is the only currency with which to purchase anything from the spirit. Without faith, we cannot receive anything from God. In fact, without faith, we are not even saved. In this 31 Days School of Faith devotional, let’s take a journey through the dynamics of faith and how to grow and make your faith work. And let’s challenge you to put your faith to work. 

With the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 7, 2015, Dick Cole has long stood in the powerful spotlight of fame that has followed him since his B-25 was launched from a Navy carrier and flown toward Japan just four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In recognition the tremendous boost Doolittle’s Raid gave American morale, members of the Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in May 2014. Doolittle’s Raid was only the opening act of Cole’s flying career during the war.

God wants you to be healed! Refuse to accept anything contrary to that. You have the authority to heal any sickness, whether it’s in your own body, that of your loved ones, or any person for that matter. Jesus said: “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.” (Mark 16:17-18)

On Wide Seas: The US Navy in the Jacksonian Era details the ways in which the US Navy transformed from an antiquated arm of the nation’s military infrastructure into a more dynamic and effective force that was soon to play a pivotal role in a number of national and international conflicts. Jackson developed a clear, concise naval strategy that policymakers and officers alike could seize and execute. They carried out a collective vision that coincided with the national literary movement that recognized America’s future would rely upon the Navy.

Herbert Shelton was, in many ways, a man ahead of his own time. Born at the close of the 20th century, Shelton was an adherent of the Hygienic movement and a tireless advocate of alternative medicine. Throughout his life he opposed mainstream medical practices; he warned that drugs were being over-prescribed, and that hospitalization often made sick patients get sicker. Shelton dedicated his life to offering a different approach to health. More than anything else, Shelton emphasized the need to become attuned to the natural processes of the body.

This three-book volume by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen includes Preface to Religion (1946), The Life of Christ (1958), and The Priest Is Not His Own (1963). These three works seek to educate both the new follower of Christ and the lifelong devotee on their place in the world and their responsibilities to God and their fellow human beings.

Fulton J. Sheen's Preface to Religion seeks to bring the curious, open soul the answers that they seek. For someone on the periphery of faith, wondering why they are the way they are and where they can find relief from inner turmoil, the answers in this audiobook will lead them to the truth. In addition to his media appearances, Archbishop Sheen also wrote dozens of books and articles on theology and Catholicism. His 1946 work Preface to Religion explores the truth about God, mankind, and the individual listener.

 The doctrine of Jesus Christ stands out prominently for its practical application in all the affairs of life. It is not alone a religion, in the limited aspect in which that word is used, but a rule of living, doing, thinking, being. 

This generation seems to be ever-learning but never able to come to the saving knowledge of the truth. They continue to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in search for truth that will lead to super-human powers, immortality, and ascension. These have become major topics of interest. Recent discoveries and further disclosure have led many to depart from formerly held views concerning the creation story and origin of man.

Jesus said he would build his ekklesia from one revelation - that he is the Christ, son of the living God. Unfortunately, for many believers this revela-tion has been reduced a mere powerless religious declaration. This revela-tion has been buried under years of tradition and ritual. It has been cor-rupted by ideology, race and cultural preferences. Yet, the fact remains that from this one revelation Jesus is building his ekklesia. He wants to build with you.

Soldier Stories (Volume II) is for young officers and noncommissioned officers, and it makes a great gift for anyone interested in military life. All the stories are true. In some cases, the names have been changed, but every story is true. I hope you will take the time to listen to these stories. Some are shocking, some are funny, and some will leave you wondering how this now-retired Lieutenant Colonel ever made it to retirement.
