Blessed
Part 1 of this book, ‘Enabled to Be,’ explores both the biblical identity and the developing characteristics of the Christian, inspired by the beatitudes in Matthew 5. This is the foundation for part 2, ‘Equipped to Do,’ in which Dennis highlights different ways in which God calls us to emulate the life and works of Jesus in our own individual circumstances. He is convinced that we are not born again to sit patiently in ‘God’s waiting room’ until we ‘go home’. We are enabled and equipped to step out in faith to make a difference while we are here on earth.
He believes passionately that the gifts of the spirit are the contents of the toolbox God has provided each of us with for our part in his kingdom coming and his will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Furthermore, that the actions and fruit of such endeavours not only confound the idea that the Christian life is boring, but also result in the fruit of the spirit being displayed through us as our character is moulded to become increasingly more like that of our Saviour.
He loves to quote scriptures like Matthew 10:7-8, Matthew 28:18-20, and John 14:12 to provide both inspiration and encouragement for us all to realise how much we have been blessed through the amazing grace of God both to be and to do.

Treeness
The tree embodies the creative and artistic spirit of Nature. It cannot exist without the sun, light, rain, and soil – nor can it thrive without its essence, its Treeness, which is its spiritual quality. Without this spirit, there would be no splitting buds, no blooming flowers. The tree is a reflection of the vital energy that flows through heaven, earth, and all of Nature.

Present and Clear Danger
The nature of war has changed.
In World War II, wars were fought through attrition: drop enough bombs, fire enough shells, and hopefully destroy the target. The massive cost in lives and widespread destruction is now part of history.
Modern warfare is surgical. Military planners can examine a country and plan to cripple it with minimal destruction and loss of life. There is no need to bomb every ship in a port – just destroy the entrance to block access. It is unnecessary to obliterate a power station – simply target where it connects to the power grid. Limited destruction, fewer casualties, yet the same devastating effect.
But what happens when someone applies this approach to the UK? Not possible? You might be very surprised.

The Two Layers of Biology and Religion
Do you believe in souls, spirits, God, and perhaps even reincarnation? The author does, and he presents a compelling case for his beliefs through his model of consciousness. According to this model, there exists a state of elementary consciousness at every point in space, which he terms the ‘C-layer.’ Souls and spirits are conceptualized as closed systems within this layer, while God is identified with the entirety of the infinite C-layer.
The author finds empirical evidence for his ideas in phenomena such as near-death experiences, hypnotic regressions to past lives, young children recalling previous identities, mystical revelations, and transcendental LSD experiences. These topics are explored in detail throughout the book.
But if you believe in God, does it necessarily follow that He intervenes in the material world – the ‘M-layer’? Not necessarily, but after careful examination of the evidence, the author concludes that God indeed interacts with the material world, particularly in relation to organic evolution. He hypothesizes that God constructs models within the C-layer, which serve as molds for the development of organisms. This concept is strongly inspired by Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance, which is also discussed extensively in the book.
By the end of this thought-provoking work, you may find yourself, like the author, convinced not only of God’s existence but also of His integral role in shaping the foundation of everyday life.
