Is it Really the End? This Letter to the author's son outlines the seven year tribulation and roughly when the rapture of the blameless occurs. It shows exactly where we are on the timeline - and gives substantial insight as to different events that will unfold between September 2023 to 2030 - and beyond. But it's written in as easily understood fashion for those who aren't as familiar with the Bible. This brief book, though packed with information, provides a solid overview of the truth that lies ahead. Many, if not most people, will not acknowledge that we are in the final seven years before Jesus Christ returns to reign on the earth. But if these last seven years haven't begun by the end of 2023, they surely will by the end of 2024. Paula Cross has been studying the Bible closely, with determination to strictly know the truth, constantly seeking God on her every point of interpretation, having zero bias except that it's the truth. Consequently, Paula demonstrate that Jesus will be back with the Millenial Reign of Christ beginning in 2031. And her passion is to teach and warn as many people as possible. Ironically, Paula has a son, named Timothy, and he has a grandmother, named Lois, just like the Apostle Paul had his spiritual son, Timothy, who had a grandmother, Lois, in the Bible. This was't planned. Timothy's father named him. Later, when Paula learned of the irony of their names, she knew her Timothy would be one of her prodeges. The problem is he has literally and painfully been lost in the wilderness for years. In fact, he's been so out of her reach that she hasn't been able to talk to him like she can her other children. So that is why this letter was written to him. However, it's not meant for her Timothy alone! It is meant for anyone and everyone who wants to know what is going on in the world. This book is a simple but thorough explanation and overview of the entire seven year tribulations as revealed in the Bible. It's a summarized breakdown of how the final 7 years before Christ comes back will unfold. It also explains her unique, never before taught perspective as to WHEN the final three Feasts of the Lord will be fulfilled. And her theory aligns perfectly with her final seven year outline. This letter further explains how the rapture is connected to the Feast of Atonement. And it exposes the truth that the 2023 "Revelation 12 Sign" as a Counterfeit, along with when and why other certain events transpire, including the timeframe that the rapture and the Great Tribulation occur. And this letter even explains WHY these seven years of tribulation have to transpire in the first place - as well the imperative necessity and how to be safe throughout it all!

The theme of the second conference, held on the campus of Nashotah House from June 24-25, 2021, was "Parish Asceticism." The Christian tradition takes for granted that baptized believers will engage in some form of bodily training for the purpose of godliness (cf. 1 Tim. 4:7-8). The Apostle Paul said, "I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men" (Acts 24:16). That is, he engaged in asceticism for the purpose of being in relationship with God and with all humankind, motivated certainly by Jesus' admonition to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets" (Matt. 22:37-40). Moreover, the "phenomenon of asceticism is indeed a subject of perennial and universal interest" (John Behr). Oftentimes, however, the language of "asceticism" conjures images of emaciated monks and nuns who fled to the desert to engage in a kind of harsh asceticism that today would appear to be rooted more in psychological disorder than the love of God. But such an understanding is distorted and a caricature of good and proper Christian asceticism. Thus, the 2021 Breck Conference explored the main elements of Christian monasticism to present its varied and rich history, attempting to recover this tradition as an essential element in today's Church, and not only for monks but for all baptized Christians. For it is in the crucible of the parish where all Christians become ascetics. The conference consisted of five plenary talks by three speakers and included much time for informal discussion and interaction. The speakers included Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia>Rev. Dr. Alexis Torrance>________________________________________About the Breck Conference: The conference name was chosen to honor one of the founders of Nashotah House while also being clear that the conference was on monasticism but with the purpose of recovering elements of the Christian monastic tradition for the contemporary church. James Lloyd Breck, while a student at General Theological Seminary in New York, responded to an invitation by Bp. Jackson Kemper to come to the Wisconsin frontier. In correspondence with his brother, Breck wrote, "The following is mooted [i.e., spoken] in our class-and be not surprised if time should strengthen it-that six or eight of us clan together, going out West, place ourselves under Bishop Kemper, all at one point, and there educate and preach; to live under one roof, constituted into a Religious House, under a Superior." Simply put, Breck imagined that what was to become Nashotah House was a monastic endeavor.
