In "The Twelve Gates of the Heart: Mysteries of the Kingdom," author Doc Yeager embarks on a spiritual exploration of the profound parallels between the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem and the metaphorical gates leading to the human heart. Drawing inspiration from the Biblical depiction of New Jerusalem, Yeager delves into the significance of each gate, suggesting that just as angelic beings protect these celestial gates, individuals must vigilantly guard the twelve doors into their own lives. This book is a journey of discovery, revealing how leaving even a single gate unguarded can invite destruction into one's life. Conversely, it is through these very gates that God can enter to bring radical transformation and blessings to a believer. Yeager's insights aim to equip readers with the knowledge and wisdom to protect their hearts while remaining open to divine influence and change. Rich in symbolism and spiritual insight, "The Twelve Gates of the Heart" is more than a guide; it's a transformative experience that bridges the gap between the heavenly and the personal, urging readers to reflect, guard, and open their hearts to the mysteries of the Kingdom.

Lunedì mattina è apparsa una nuova opera murale lungo una via molto frequentata della città, specialmente da studenti diretti all'Università. La particolarità di questo murale risiede nella sua perfetta rappresentazione dei temi discussi durante una riunione tenutasi qualche giorno prima presso la sede del collettivo politico studentesco. Ciò che aggiunge un tocco di mistero è la firma dell'artista: "Il Muralista". Nessuno ha idea di chi si cela dietro questo pseudonimo.Nelle settimane successive, sono comparse altre opere murali, attirando l'attenzione non solo dei residenti, ma anche di istituzioni e giornalisti. Tuttavia, del misterioso Muralista non si hanno notizie. Si tratta di opere murali che vanno oltre la semplice denuncia, presentando anche elementi ironici e divertenti. Realizzati con varie tecniche, compresa quella del realismo, i primi murales sembravano così autentici da provocare tentativi di rimozione, scambiati per quadri appesi.Ciò che aggiunge ulteriore fascino e mistero a queste opere è il fatto che l'artista le crea di notte, senza mai essere stato avvistato. Questo ha attirato numerosi visitatori, contribuendo a consolidare la leggenda intorno al Muralista e alla sua arte che emerge nel buio della notte.

John Nash es un médico norteamericano de 40 años. Para superar el dolor producido por la separación de su mujer viajó a Israel para recorrer el territorio de su ídolo Jesús. De vuelta en casa descubre que ha traído en un antiguo bolso comprado en el Medio Oriente dos pergaminos antiguos escritos en lengua griega. Intrigado y preocupado, el doctor Nash pone los documentos a resguardo en un banco y procede a aprender griego clásico para traducir su reliquia. Descubre que se trata de una carta enviada por el propio Jesús al Obispo Lino 30 años después de la crucifixión. Queda en evidencia que él no murió en aquella ocasión y que tampoco resucitó. El texto de la carta relata la vida de Jesús y el mensaje que este transmitió a sus contemporáneos, el que es radicalmente distinto de lo relatado por los evangelios canónicos. El Maestro Jesús, un hombre culto, cercano a la filosofía estoica, creyó en la dignidad de todos los seres vivos, en el respeto por la naturaleza, en la valoración de la mujer y en la capacidad humana para conocer la realidad y hacerse dueño de su destino. Preocupado por las consecuencias que puede tener el conocimiento de esta carta por parte de las iglesias cristianas, en consideración a que desacredita el carácter divino de Jesús, Nash se contacta con una agrupación llamada 'Master Jesus Life', cuya líder es una profesora llamada Madeleine Howard-Le Dantec. La existencia de la carta se divulga y la Iglesia Católica con el papa a la cabeza inicia una persecución para destruir la carta. Quienes la conocen forman una nueva anti-iglesia, la "Comunidad del Maestro Jesús". ¿Podrá esta nueva cosmovisión sobrevivir al artero ataque de las iglesias cristianas? Una conspiración con participación de la iglesia y poder político se pone en marcha. ¿Se salvará su líder de la persecución similar a la vivida por el Maestro 2000 años antes? ¿Hay cabida en el siglo XXI para una nueva interpretación del mensaje de Jesús? Conozca la historia de Jesús, tal como debió haber sido transmitida a la posteridad, pero que fue brutamente distorsionada por los evangelistas en un afán propagandístico y sectario inspirado por los padres de la iglesia. Conozca también lo que podría suceder si un documento antiguo del siglo I revelara que Jesús no murió en la cruz.
