Bøker av Benjamin Raven Pressley

From early on in my life it has seemed that I have looked at things deeper than many would. I see things differently. I see deeper meanings even for things that seemingly may not merit deeper scrutiny. I have been accused many times of over-thinking things. I have come to peace with this long ago. I realize that what I see and feel are reflections, reflections that if pondered and meditated upon are able to bring us greater understanding, peace and wisdom. Most of these reflections take place when I am writing, some when I dream, some when I meditate, some when I pray and some when I am sitting in the midst of a congregation of people on the street or gathered together in one place. It is time I shared these reflections. I hope you will read and ponder these reflections and treasure them as I have.

Touching God...knowing him intimately, communicating with him, knowing his presence. This is something we must nurture. A very important part of knowing and touching God is prayer. Prayer's most basic definition is talking to God. Just about all religions pray in some form. Prayer is the very lifeblood of the spirit but it is sadly the least emphasized or it is taught as just a way to get something from God. As blood is to the body, prayer is to the spiritual man. It carries away impurities, fights spiritual diseases and furnishes oxygen to our spiritual minds. Prayer tears down walls between you and God. It heals our spiritual deafness so we can believe and hear the voice of God. This author pleads for you to put aside religion and tradition and whatever excuses you have for not believing and consider these words and PRAY. This is how we touch God and connect to Him.

Do you want to be free to live and love the Lord?It starts by having a relationship with God Himself. It isn't about religion, that's a man made thing; It is about relationship. It is also knowing who you are in Christ, knowing and believing what the Word says about you is more true than how you feel about it. When you realize who you are in Christ and what He has accomplished on your behalf then it will become natural for you to live for God. Not struggling. Not trying to pay a debt you think you owe. You will be transformed. You will be free. I so want to see the people of God free. I so want you to be free. Don't be lost in the labyrinth any longer. Determine yourself today to know what it truly means to be free. That is what this book is about. It is about being free. It is the way out of the labyrinth of confusion and bondage. This book contains a series of teachings that I have given through the years His Word is meant to be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path not confuse us more and cast shadows over the path we are walking. Darkness is not a force in and of itself. Darkness is the absence of light. May God use this book to shed light upon your path.

It seems so long ago that the Death Furies under Shinar ruled the land. It is said they all are dead or dying since the great battle with Shinar long ago. But are they truly gone? The Skyebara is having a great healing effect upon Terra Zem as it spreads but it is not without resistance. Shinar's grip went deep. The ether is the living force in and of all things. So connected is the ether to all of Terra Zem that any disturbance in the land is felt by all like a ripple in a pond when a stone is thrown, its shock waves traveling outward. Indeed there is a ripple in the ether but what is its cause? Will it destroy all the Skyebara has accomplished? Find out as you travel once again with the Shadow Reavers and meet new characters like the Arcamagi, Drogan, Grimhiss, Guymayne and many more as you read Book 3 of the Ravenquest series--A RIPPLE IN THE ETHER.

Jaden and Destini have certainly established themselves as capable heroes and rightful heirs to the title of Shadowreavers. Yet throughout Ravenquest there has always been that nagging, unanswered question: Who is the Mountain King where the story all began long ago before even Raven and Skyeyes were born?

Read their continuing adventures and find out once and for all the identity of the Mountain King. You will be shocked and surprised!

How do you fight an enemy that is faceless, formless and deadly? How do you fight an enemy that is made of the very fabric of creation itself? It will take a special weapon, an ancient weapon that is in separate pieces and hidden in the most dangerous places. Journey once again with the Shadow Reavers on their most dangerous quest ever to assemble a weapon in time to destroy a terrible, formless enemy that has the power to destroy the very veil that divides the realms and to halt the slaughter of the Archane Sentinels themselves before they all fall from the heavens as great stars. STARS WILL FALL but how many will fall before the Shadow Reavers find the parts of the ancient weapon needed and will they assemble the weapon in time? Find out as you read the exciting continuing adventure of the Shadow Reavers in Book 5 of RAVENQUEST: STARS WILL FALL.

The Skyebara is upon us...It is a world cleansing that will unite all the tribes of Terra Zem. It is said it is a 'planting' though and 'not and uprooting'. That being said, there are still some citizens of Terra Zem who still seem to be gripped in the evil that Shinar brought upon Terra Zem, though Shinar is dead. It all depends upon a mysterious scroll and key being found and taken to the right place at the right time. It is said the scroll and key will unlock that which has been hidden for so long. Meet Caelholdt the Helmsman, Nuwolf the Guardian, Enya of the mysterious Teragaard, Jazeer of the Dreamworld and more as you travel with the Shadow Reavers on their continuing mission to free Terra Zem.

True Spirituality. Just saying it brings to mind a myriad of responses and reactions, some very emotionally charged and most polar opposites of each other. It is said if you want to start an argument then mention religion or politics. I have to agree. However, I propose to you that true spirituality has nothing to do with religion. I think a big part of the problem is the messed up definition most of us have of what it means. True spirituality has nothing to do with religion or any particular set of beliefs. It is an all-encompassing view of life and not denying that things are more connected than most want to accept. True spirituality carries over into every aspect of your life. It's not something you have to stir up, pay up or wind up. It becomes as real as the air you breathe, invisible in many ways but so real and vital to you as an individual. True spirituality is something that comes alongside everything you do, every thought you think and everything you see. It becomes a filter through which you view all things on a level that just makes sense.
