The War Prayer

As a Christian, I think you might find this to be of special interest.
The War Prayer
If you know the work, you already know the power behind it on paper. It is an amazingly strong statement in the production, and I’ll hold off information on the author until you’ve seen it.
Blessings,
Brian Robertson

About Your Theory of Reality …….

While putting together a post on the main site called “A Look At Jesus” made up of writings from Honest to Jesus by Robert W. Funk, I was struck by one particular sentence.
Ever notice how that happens? You’re reading along and suddenly, “Zap!” you get kidnapped by a sentence that most wouldn’t even notice, [...]

More New Stuff — Plus An Apology

First the apology. ChristianMystics.com moved seamlessly to a new server with far better performance and options. Trouble is, Blogger.com didn’t get the word until a few minutes ago.

The War and The Christian Mystic

For the past ten years, ChristianMystics.com has dealt with the practices and writings of Christian Mystics, traditional and contemporary. I’ve stayed out of politics on purpose at the main site, at least directly, but I’d like to offer a small voice with this posting on the Christian Mystics Blog:
Christianity possesses a characteristic unique to most [...]

Jesus: The Son of Man

Just a quick note — the main site at Christian Mystics has just added a wonderful resource — Gibran’s Jesus: The Son of Man. This book has to be one of the most fascinating studies of Jesus from the perspective of several contemporaries.

Homer L. Cox

God Within?

One of the most famous and beloved quotes from Jesus is his statement, “The kingdom of heaven is within you.” (Luke 17:21). It is also one that has been watered down by fundamentalists and others until the powerful phrase “within you” is said to mean the rather lackluster “amongst you.”
