What if we really believed that God is love? What if we really believed that God is patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting? What if we really believed that God asks us to be patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting toward God and toward the people in our lives? How would the world look if all of us who claim to be Christian just took that one, simple idea and made it the foundation of our lives? Would the world be a different place? Would the Church look the same? These are a few of the many questions Father R. Joseph Owles asks himself and his readers.A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES: One Man's Stubborn Commitment to the Idea That GOD IS LOVE is a collection of meditations (called “Blessays”) centered on that one, simple idea that God is love. Some of these Blessays are meditations on daily lectionary readings, some are the result of passing thoughts, and some are based on conversations and questions asked by others, as well as questions posited by Father R. Joseph Owles himself.Father Owles asserts .that if God is love, then love is not what God does, Love is what God is! If we really believe that God is really love, then whatever we do in the name of God must be done with love because if it is not done with love, then it is not done for God – who is love. If God is love, then Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; Jesus Christ is really the Son of Love; and we are all the People of Love.This is theology at its best – down to earth, accessible, practical, and applicable. It is a must read for all who strive to live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ regardless of church affiliation or tradition.

God commands us to be good stewards of His creation and the resources with which He entrusts us. To do so, we must understand the laws of the world in which we live and minister. It is simply bad stewardship to do otherwise.Most ministers are aware of the church's increasing role as a target. Simultaneously, the law has become more complex than ever and it is difficult for attorneys, much less staff members with other demands on their hands, to maintain the church on steady legal footing. This book raises legal issues which should merit your personal consideration, discusses whether or not your church is doing what it should do to protect itself and its members, and provides a general reference for those in the church who are responsible for its legal affairs.

Have you realized that the responsibility to guard against deception is placed on us as believers? Jesus admonished us to take heed that no one deceives us. Unfortunately, deception in the Church today has reached an alarming proportion that even the very elect can be deceived. Today, we have many false prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, and evangelists who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves seeking to devour the gullible. Jesus said by their fruits you shall know them. This book reveals the fruits of these ravenous wolves and a true life confession of a pastor who was under this deception until the Lord delivered him to expose how some ministers of the gospel are operating under the power of mermaid spirits. My heart desire is that this book will be an immense help to the Church in these Last Days and prevent many from being deceived by the seducing spirits of Antichrist at work.

The literature on psychological trauma and traumatic attachment has progressed over the past few decades, however issues of coerced and internalized perpetration have not been fully explored and deconstructed. This book presents a synthesis of relational and archetypal psychology, trauma and dissociation theory, and highly relevant child soldier literature, to offer new clinical perspectives to assist psychotherapists and trauma patients to achieve more successful therapy outcomes. The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep offers instructive, cautionary and innovative therapeutic approaches to help transform the lives of survivors of complex trauma. Providing an explanation of how the effects of coerced perpetration trauma are built, and the damage done to the psyches and lives of most trauma victims, the book extends our knowledge base in a thorough deconstruction of the nature of perpetration and its effects on the psyche. Chapters include: - trauma, dissociation, and coerced perpetration - the child soldier as a model of internalized perpetration - relational concepts in the treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders - treatment trajectory - archetypal constructs as a vehicle for integration. This book provides valuable new perspectives on the psychodynamic challenges and opportunities for mental health professionals treating internalized perpetration in survivors of complex trauma, and will prove essential reading for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and post-graduate students as well as researchers, legal scholars and policy makers.
