1st Things 1st is a tad different than most books and programs related to the Law of Attraction (LOA), as it does not promise results and wild expectations, but informs the reader that the efficacy of the LOA is undeniable. Intentional execution is the most elusive undertaking we can dare to attempt. While the philosophy is simple and the performance practically unconscious, there are prerequisites that need be in place to allow the purposeful unfoldment of desire. These requirements are nothing more than what most religious leaders preach from the pulpit every Sunday. John attempts to show an unmistakable congruence between the teachings of Christ and the New Age philosophy of oneness/LOA. This is all presented with no promises or expectations and the humble disclaimer of the struggles the author himself experiences with his journey daily. This is the LOA unedited, real, and down to earth.

This study, based on Dr. Mears’ perennial best-seller, invites readers to explore the world of the biblical Patriarchs in Genesis and journey with the ancient Israelites on their liberating exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land.

Plus, Dr. Mears’ signature approach to the sweeping biblical narrative is to focus on Christ, so readers will also come to understand how even the earliest events of Scripture point forward to Jesus and His faithfulness to us today. Each session includes questions for discussion or personal consideration, ideal for group or individual study, as well as journaling space for deeper reflection.

SEASCAPE is a tantalizing adventure into a unique world whose location envelopes it with magic mysteries. Objects as well as entities allow testing beyond the usual assumed abilities.

Crabs are loved, sharks are feared, whales are given space and Stingrays are allowed tantrums. It is the interchange that makes SEASCAPE unique. Helmet the hermit crab's treasure surrounds him whether it is sand, sea or other prized valuables but most importantly, his treasure is his shell.
