The Winged Mare Explained and Signs of Spiritual Ascension

Penned in divine company, this book reveals spiritual progress brewing on Earth despite humanity’s trials. Living conditions will markedly improve for multitudes as enlightenment advances.

The Winged Mare is in fact a diminutive humanoid spirit who inhabits an unsullied white horse. In Greek lore, Pegasus befriends kind-hearted people on spiritual paths to help them thrive. This celestial creature appears either male or female based on the selected person’s gender. Once their transformation culminates in sacred freedom, the enlightened individual earns the moniker ‘Winged Mare.’

Through signs and wonders sprinkled amid struggle, glimmers emerge of long-foretold Ascension. All living souls inch toward higher states, yet some courageous pioneers blaze ahead by consciously nurturing spiritual faculties. In these quickening times, are you hearing rumblings of a great Awakening? Heed the Winged Mare’s higher call, and perhaps discover your own wings waiting.

Stepping Stones

Can answers to the biggest questions in life be found?  Today there are many who are unsure whether there is a creator God, are uncertain about religion and yet instinctively feel that their life has a purpose and that values such as love, truth, honesty, beauty, logic and kindness are real.  This book has been written to help such people make sense of their existence and to indicate the types of evidence available to help people find a strong rational faith.

“So many people think faith is a feeling or a flight of fantasy, by contrast Cambridge-educated medical surgeon, Dr Bernard Palmer, makes it clear that there is outstanding evidence at the basis of Christian belief. But he does not stop there, he then not only shows what that evidence means for our lives, he also reveals what the reader should do about it. That is the rhythm of this excellent book: the evidence, its meaning and our action, which makes this a profoundly challenging read that appeals to the mind, the heart and the will.”

Christianity Explored

“I am both delighted and honoured to recommend Bernard Palmer’s new book to you. There are three reasons for this.

First, he himself truly believes the things he is asking you to believe.

Second, he writes about profound matters in such a way that it is not only easy to follow but it is winsome and appealing.

But thirdly, he is offering us ‘Stepping Stones’ to a new life by introducing us to Jesus Christ with compelling reasons to become a believer. And this is the most important thing of all.”

Like many Christian believers have done in the past, you will finish off the mutilated death if you confront them with the very weaponry with which the Lord injured them.

This book teems with such weaponry.

Religion and its Origins in Human Psychology: A View through History

In an era of scientific dominance, why does religion still maintain an unshakeable grip over so many lives, dramatically impacting world events? Why did humanity first develop religious constructs and institutions? How has our relationship with the divine evolved over civilisation’s history? This book chronicles religion’s enduring role across millennia - its profound shaping of both individuals and societies. Reviewing psychological theories, it explores the evolution of our inherent need to interact with gods and the supernatural. Religion was our original “science” - humanity’s first response to the natural world and our place within it.

Since then, two major transitions have revolutionised our religious approach. First, the emergence of teachers like Zoroaster, Jesus and Mohammed introduced personal and social accountability. Today, science and nationalism inherit many attributes once exclusive to faiths. Throughout history, religion also empowered rulers who claimed special divine sanction to exert authority and wage war. Despite an uneasy coexistence with science, religion perseveres because it continues answering profound human requirements at personal and collective levels.

This is the innate legacy that ensures religion’s hold over life and world affairs is unlikely to ever diminish.

Lessons for Living

God has set the stage for our life story to be acted out on and with the gift of a free will, it’s up to each of us to decide what role we want to play; wilderness wanderers as the Israelites of ancient times, so close to the Promised Land yet not permitted to enter; or a believer in God’s eternal promises fulfilled in Christ. There are only two options.

God does have a plan for humanity; he has set forth a calendar, established a timetable; and we all live along that timetable, somewhere from its beginning, to the end of all human rule on Earth. He needs each of us to start again spiritually, to become willing participants in the inward transformation of our disposition, ready for the day to come.

Becoming a Christian is easy. Maintaining the claim that Christ lives in you will be the most challenging, life-changing experience. How do we change our inner self to take on Christlikeness? How do we react in times when our faith is put to the test; - times of unknowables, those things sometimes beyond the limits of human experience or understanding?

The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the real God, because if we seek a relationship with him, we must think of it in terms of a valuable human relationship. There needs to be a degree of attractiveness; we need to share similar values as God possesses to even begin to flourish and grow.

The Want Book

When asked, “what did you learn at Sunday School today”, my four-year old daughter replied, “Just another fairy tale about Jesus.” I suddenly realized I could not teach what I did not understand clearly myself. The verse, Mathew 7:7,8, came to mind. Thus, began my lifelong search to find universal truths in all the world’s respected religions.

I wanted to know how to explain and teach logically the mysteries and wonder of life to children in our multicultural society. This book is the result of my efforts.

You Better Stand Your Watch - A Call To Being A Spiritual Leader In The Workplace

It explores factors that hinder progress in a multicultural and religious workplace setting and provides leadership and decision-making models to fit.

The Unwitting Fundamentalist

How and why religious fundamentalism has come to exist is an important issue, rarely explored in detail without an underlying agenda. In this discursive and absorbing investigation, Andrew Norman has addressed this complex question in an intellectual, yet thoroughly comprehensible manner. Each aspect of religion is covered; not just fundamentalism itself, but why some religions have prophets and some don’t; why some have one deity and others several; and how science has shed new light on many aspects of the religious experience. Whether you are interested in fundamentalism or simply how man has become such a religious animal, and remains so, The Unwitting Fundamentalist is an absorbing read.

The Historical Jesus: the Origins of Christian Belief

The authors of the New Testament were convinced that Jesus was the promised Messiah as prophesised in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the New Testament is not a uniform account of Christian belief or a consistent historical narrative. To explain some of these inconsistencies it is helpful to understand how the authors interpreted Hebrew Scriptures’ prophesies to emphasise current events. They were also influenced by contemporary cultural and religious beliefs, and a changing political environment. The New Testament includes differing historical scenarios that are addressed.Was Jesus born in Nazareth rather than Bethlehem?Was Jesus’ message of the Kingdom of God primarily for the Jews and not the Gentiles?Did Jesus die as a result of a summary execution rather than by trial by the Sanhedrin?Did Jesus die on Thursday afternoon before partaking in the Passover supper?This work represents a radical new understanding of the origins of Christian belief and reflects the work of many eminent academics in recent decades.
