Charles Winston is a tough Private Investigator. He is also a Christian. In his own words: ' Back in the days when I thought I was bulletproof, life threw me a curveball. I was facing a case that had me questioning everything. There was this darkness that I could not shake, a weight that felt too heavy to bear alone. I found myself in the quiet corners of a church, seeking something I did not fully understand. It wasn't like I suddenly had a lightbulb moment or a divine revelation.

Quantum Mechanics makes visible God has founded the material realm, His creation, on enigmas and inexplicable microscopic events. Not a Mathematician, Scientist or Physicist of the past nor any of the present day, understands the astonishing performance of the atomic and subatomic realm. Quantum Mechanics is astounding. Testimonies of 'quantum' like experiences of Christians and Gods revelation of His activity with the matter He created, are even more astonishing. Time travel has eluded science - but God took Bruce D Allen back in time before he had time to think about it. Gods response to his questions? "Don't limit me." Quantum Mechanics is the study of the very very small. One million atoms lined up side by side would fit on the period at the end of this sentence. The discoveries of Quantum Mechanics are in use in many fields. We can take advantage of them but will probably never understand them. Albert Einstein held out against quantum riddles expecting common sense answers to surface. He was disappointed. We have come upon the secrets of God.

We are used to making Lent a special time for renewal, but much less has been written on the other seasons of the year. This resource explores the traditions that have shaped each season, the lectionary readings, and the liturgies observed across the ecumenical spectrum.

It is possible to be a Christian Buddhist in the context of a universal belief that sits fairly lightly on both traditions. Ross Thompson takes especially seriously the aspects of each faith that seem incompatible with the other, no God and no soul in Buddhism, for example, and the need for grace and the historical atonement on the cross in Christianity. Buddhist Christianity can be no bland blend of the tamer aspects of both faiths, but must result from a wrestling of the seeming incompatibles, allowing each faith to shake the other to its very foundations. The author traces his personal journey through which his need for both faiths became painfully apparent. He explores the Buddha and Jesus through their teachings and the varied communities that flow from them, investigating their different understandings of suffering and wrong, self and liberation, meditation and prayer, cosmology and God or not? He concludes with a bold commitment to both faiths.
