There is indeed a Heaven. Heaven, it is said, is the quintessential place for only clean souls that had earlier experienced the earth. Though the general assumption is that only dead people can have access to this “Gorgeous place,” humans have been inside it, and the Bible says so. Heaven, however, is not what the Church has made it out to be. For the Church, Heaven is a tool. The Bible tells us what Heaven is, but the Church interprets Heaven to be what they want it to be. In The Real Proof of Heaven: What & Where Is It? we take you on a profound journey into the heart of ancient mind-set and practices, revealing a breathtaking, hidden reality that will transform your life forever and in many ways. We will literarily take you to Heaven. We are able to take you to the real Heaven because the Ages are exposing the hidden secrets to Mankind. You will see and understand what Heaven is. Far from offering simple interpretations, platitudes, and general principles, The Real Proof of Heaven: What & Where Is It drags you out of the surprisingly archaic thinking that gave us the biblical Heaven in the world of the ancients through various ages while using modern knowledge as a guide. Yes, you will literarily see Heaven as it is because Heaven is as real in the Bible as it is real today. It is physical. It is out there floating in space as one of the biggest spaceships unlimited and uninhibited by space. Heaven is in this universe, in this dimension and with time, someday, humans will start to interact with it. While presenting you with all the incredible evidence to support this, you will discover for yourself that modernity has not put a dent in how or what the ancients thought, believed, and worshipped compared to religious practices of modern people. They were/are the same concepts as people older than us have inferred in their ancient testimonies. The perspectives between the old and new are still the same even while modern peoples spin the same old practices as if it has been koshered. It will be disheartening that many people will have to go to their graves believing what they believe—a lie. The biggest lies of them all—a Heaven and a Hell. Religious texts must be radically and truthfully interpreted as the Ages open up its hidden knowledge to Mankind. Misinterpretation is one reason the pages seem lost on theistic ears already dejected, listening to the words coming out of the mouth of a preacher who is struggling to make a story line out of the texts written thousands of years ago. Millions of people have believed in teachings that were intended for disinformation. They believed because, in the eyes of the innocent, the teachings appear to be convincing and true. If you don’t believe their teachings, they convince you that there is a thing called faith. When that fails, they describe your culture and practices as paganism and Satanism. They make you feel less of a human and even threaten your well-being and life. They are succeeding, especially with the promise of Heaven or Hell in an afterlife as your only two choices. Any attempt and indeed all the attempts to convince you and me, one way or the other, about a proof of a Heaven, is disingenuous and will remain disingenuous. There is no way as a material being that you could interpret the immaterial. It is near impossible. It is even crazy to try and think of it. Whether they say it is by Near Death Experience (NDE), don’t cut it. It does not work that way. Near death experiences is not death. A near miss after shooting a game is not same as a kill. Near death experiences are not the real transformation to another dimension. If a bird dodged my catapult shot, the bird was not near death. The bird might not even know that it has been shot at. Death is death, not near death. Near death experiences are like experiences between dreams and lives: you don’t know what dimension you were in in both experiences until you wake up.

Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor's New York Times bestselling journey into the world of ghosts and the supernatural Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. However, many of his most incredible experiences might just shock you. For much of his life, the Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour and New York Times bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins has brushed up against the supernatural world. Those encounters impacted his own personal evolution just as much as headlining at Castle Donington in front of 100,000 people at Download Festival or debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Since growing up in Iowa, his own curiosity drew him into situations that would've sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills. He's ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences, though. As a result, he's seen ghosts up close and personal, whether while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. He's also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he can't seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here... At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he was never one for Sunday Service. Simply put, he's seen ghosts, but he hasn't seen Jesus. Taylor especially can't find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. That's where everything gets really interesting. His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Taylor's most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always, his rapid-fire writing, razor sharp sense of humor, unbridled honesty, and cozy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. That's up to you, of course. Either way, you're in for a hell of a ride.

Poet's Corner is Malcolm Guite's delectable column that appears on the back page of the Church Times each week. This second collection brings together more than seventy columns created from little glimpses and reflections from all corners of the country, the musings of a poet's mind, and the corners and alleyways of our literary heritage. Malcolm's lucid, perceptive and imaginative columns follow a similar pattern to the sonnets for which he is so renowned, with a sense of development, of a turn or volta part way through, and a sense that the end revisits and re-reads the opening. They draw together everyday events and encounters, landscape, journeys, poetry, stories, memory and a sense of the sacred, fusing them to create richly satisfying portraits of the familiar that at the same time open a doorway into a new and enchanted world.

In the two centuries after Martin Luther’s affirmation that music stood second only to theology, Lutheran theologians and musicians formulated a theological defense of music that validated this exalted status. Against Calvinist rivals and Pietist critics, the orthodox Lutheran position further claimed that both instrumental and vocal music were commanded by God. Joyce Irwin’s earlier work, Neither Voice nor Heart Alone: German Lutheran Theology of Music in the Age of the Baroque, traced this development in Lutheran theological thought. In this current work, Foretastes of Heavenly Music: Johann Mattheson and Christoph Raupach on Music in Time and Eternity, Irwin provides translations and commentary for two eighteenth-century texts that illuminate the musico-theological foundation underlying the work of Lutheran composers such as Bach and Telemann. A Truth Lover’s Clear Reasonings on Which the Correct Use of Music Rests (1717) by Christoph Raupach, with an introduction by Johann Mattheson, serves as a cumulative statement of Lutheran advocacy of music. Mattheson’s Affirmation of Heavenly Music (1747) goes a step further in defending the reality of music in heaven and even the ultimate superiority of music over theology and sermons. Irwin’s introduction traces the centrality of Mattheson’s belief in heavenly music throughout the course of his life, even while he was writing works of music theory that earned him a reputation as an Enlightenment thinker. Though influenced by Enlightenment philosophy, specifically British empiricism, he rejected the rationalist philosophies of his German contemporaries and expressed no sympathy for the emerging school of biblical criticism. This work is ideal for music historians, Bach scholars, theologians, and researchers in the field of sacred music.
