Spanning many different epochs and varieties of religious experience, this book develops a new approach to religion and its role in human history. The authors look across a range of religious phenomena-from ancestor worship to totemism, shamanism, and worldwide modern religions-to offer a new explanation of the evolutionary success of religious behaviors. Their book is more empirical and verifiable than most previous books on evolution and religion because they develop an approach that removes guesswork about beliefs in the supernatural, focusing instead on the behaviors of individuals. The result is a pioneering look at how and why natural selection has favored religious behaviors throughout history.

God said that we were to subdue the earth and have dominion over every living thing including the power of the enemy. We can t even begin to think in those terms because our experiences don t conform to that image of our authority. We need to start seeing things through God s eyes and start LIVING OFF THE GRID of our limited mindsets. Jesus could raise the dead, heal the sick, set captives free, rule the weather, change the economy, and drive out demonic influences. Jesus said we could do the same things if we have faith but not by using soulish power. Trying harder, changing laws, and devising more efficient systems won t change hearts or overcome the forces arrayed against Christ s kingdom. Ken and Jeanne demonstrate through the scriptures and their own journey how to access the halls of power by the Spirit. Let God impose His super over your natural and change your world.

Two of today's maverick authors on anomalous experience present a perception-altering and intellectually thrilling analysis of why the paranormal is real, but radically different from what is conventionally understood. Whitley Strieber (Communion) and Jeffrey J. Kripal (J. Newton Rayzor professor of religion at Rice University) team up on this unprecedented and intellectually vibrant new framing of inexplicable events and experiences. Rather than merely document the anomalous, these authors--one the man who popularized alien abduction and the other a renowned scholar and "renegade advocate for including the paranormal in religious studies" (The New York Times)--deliver a fast-paced and exhilarating study of why the supernatural is neither fantasy nor fiction but a vital and authentic aspect of life. Their suggestion? That all kinds of "impossible" things, from extra-dimensional beings to bilocation to bumps in the night, are not impossible at all: rather, they are a part of our natural world. But this natural world is immeasurably more weird, more wonderful, and probably more populated than we have so far imagined with our current categories and cultures, which are what really make these things seem "impossible." The Super Natural considers that the natural world is actually a "super natural world"--and all we have to do to see this is to change the lenses through which we are looking at it and the languages through which we are presently limiting it. In short: The extraordinary exists if we know how to look at and think about it.

“An invaluable book, filled with practical solutions on how to eat healthier, breathe cleaner air, and transform your home into a safe haven, free from toxic chemicals.”—Deepak Chopra From eliminating chemicals in your food and water to choosing clean beauty products, let the Super Natural Mom teach you everything you need to know to “live clean” in a toxic world! Beth Greer had been living what she considered a healthy lifestyle when a medical crisis prompted her to reevaluate everything—from the food she ate to the personal-care products she used and the environment she lived in. Now, in Super Natural Home, she shows the alarming extent of the dangerous chemicals we unwittingly expose ourselves to every day. As she did in her own life, she invites readers to put their lives under a microscope. The straightforward, solutions-based approach of Super Natural Home—complete with quizzes to help identify and correct potential toxic hot zones—speaks directly to what environment-conscious consumers really need: ultra-practical advice on what they can do right now to limit exposure to the poisons that are endangering them and their children. At a time when impeccable scientific research points to an alarming correlation between common chemical compounds and cancers, allergies, psychiatric disorders, and birth defects, among other serious health concerns, Super Natural Home gives consumers the tools to start protecting themselves and their families. Praise for Super Natural Home “Beth Greer’s clear, comprehensive, and practical book is a godsend for anyone living in America who wants to make a real impact on reducing the pollutions and poisons that are ubiquitous in our surroundings. She’s full of good humor, yet will help you live a far cleaner and more wholesome life than you might have thought possible. Hats off to her. Read this book.”—Peter Coyote, actor and author “Making simple changes can often have a profound impact not only on you and your family’s health but also on the planet. Beth Greer has done a fabulous job of creating a practical resource that will let you know what these changes are and how to easily implement them.”—Joseph Mercola, DO, founder of Mercola
