Drunk In The Spirit

Drunk in the Spirit

Sloshed. Hammered. Doing "carpet time." Sipping "godka." Videos showing people falling down, shaking, and spontaneously laughing . . . all in church. If one has not grown up in the Charismatic or Pentecostal tradition, the concept of being "drunk in the Spirit" likely seems baffling. Yet, in recent decades, the idea of spiritual intoxication has gained traction. What should we think about such odd-looking manifestations? Does the Bible speak of anything like this? How should we discern such things? In this book readers will find a sustained analysis of passages from the Bible dealing with these very topics. Readers may be shocked at how trances, ecstatic episodes, and altered states of consciousness are indeed found within the pages of sacred Scripture--some of them hidden in one's own cherished stories.

The End of Religion!?

The problems of faith, religion, and God bothered me. I have seen wars start, marriages end, teenagers commit suicide, parents die, and one of my friends overdose. I have watched as murderers have walked free, children are beaten, and as clergy are unmasked as pedophiles. Considering the world we live in, could there really be a God? I began to study all of the worlds major religions from Evolution to Buddhism to Satanism to Catholicism, with the hope of finding meaning within reason, of finding the truth. Through interviews, rationality, commonsense, and study I began to see the world unfold to me as it really is. This book is the compilation of the notes that led me to a new beginning through the End of Religion.
