New New Testament rewritten by Jesus & the Original Authors

This fresh re-telling of the Bible is most compelling. Very different from other New Testaments, the New New Testament is the work of a simple believer who was asked by Jesus to rewrite this as he wants it to be today. It is obviously hard for us to believe that “everything is possible with God.” (Mark 10, 27). Your first impression will probably be – as the publisher’s was – “This is not real.”  Virtually everybody has reservations at the beginning.  That is because this whole concept is tough to accede to. The first, obvious question is, “Could Jesus do this if he wanted to?” Many – perhaps most – would answer YES to that question.

The next question would then be, “Could this be it?” There is only one way for you to know that: read a few random selections. You will know.And then you will be transformed. Jesus’ teachings here may well beautifully change Christianity, other religions, and today's world. So very many are intellectually, spiritually, and even physically moved like no other book – even its New Testament predecessor.

Fresh and exhilarating insights about a subject we thought had been talked about, sung about and written about to death. No syrupy or whiney groaning or panting about the wispiness of love – but rather a feet-on-the-ground, fast-moving rolling back of the curtain, to reveal the incredible complexity and beauty of humanity’s most telling characteristic. This short book is one long “ah-hah!” On their own, virtually everybody comes up with the same exclamation as they finish the book: “That’s what I believe … I just never heard it said that way before.” 

These amazingly insightful words bring out the deepest insights of every philosophy, every theology, every religion, every culture and time. And then enhanced by strikingly beautiful photographs that turn every concept into high-definition visual osmosis to the heart and the mind. Here is a beautiful book that will leave you with a new appreciation and understanding of loving and being loved: how communicable it is, how illuminating to our lives, how transformative of the ordinary into the extraordinary. The author and the photographer take the reader on an easy mind-stretching journey into our deepest and best selves … and end up with a changed reader. You just can’t understand the beauty of this reality without being moved to a new appreciation of life – life and the opportunity we have at our fingertips to love and to be loved.

The discovery of near-death Experiences

Did you ever wonder why so many people want to go to some place they know absolutely nothing about? Or … did you ever wonder if you are going to live on after you die, if there is something called eternal life? If there is, what is it? We know that all the most profound, important facets of our life are all un-provable: who you love and why you don’t love somebody else. Why you like the kind of work you like, and not the work someone else gets a thrill out of. Why you enjoy certain enjoyments that other people find boring. Why you value truth, and not lies. Why you value love, and not fear and chaos. None of these things are provable, but they are the most telling of human characteristics. And so we come to something that – throughout the ages – has remained a mystery. But now we know. We have come to that time when eternity – heaven – has suddenly burst through. Now we know.

This book will be part of your eternal truth from now on. This book will give you a reason for joy. It will open you up to your purpose, and your growth through difficulty. It will explain the reason for pain and anguish … and joy. And it will set you on a trajectory for a changed and beautiful life.

Understanding what is meant by "God" is like facing a tsunami of ideas, dogmas, insights, decrees, levels of voodoo, and piles of debris that have washed down over the millennia. Modern people rightfully are less and less willing to accept the idea of an Entity in the Sky that sends down messages to Special People, who then tell the rest of us what they know "God" wants, and we had better listen to what they say, or that Entity in the Sky will whack us). Since the time of Aristotle, when philosophy and science were the same study, thinkers have searched for the binding element of the universe, which Aristotle termed the "ether." Scientists and philosophers could never figure out what that was until just a couple of centuries ago when chemists first told us that the binding element of the universe is consciousness. Then the quantum physicists agreed, saying that is how the Theory of Relativity can work. Virtually all contemporary thinkers now understand that the binding element of the universe - that which holds it all together - is indeed consciousness. There is no PROOF that consciousness is loving ... but it IS our universal human experience, across all time and all geography. Nothing matters quite so much to us human beings as love. Now we are getting somewhere! This book puts the marvelous insights of science - which usually, at least initially, elicit loud protestations from Professional Religionists - into crisp and enlightening words and concepts for a wide array of people to grasp, and at which they can marvel. Even if science can now state that the universe in and of itself does not call for the existence of a "creator," we find new doors of understanding about "God" are the great result.

Fascinating stories of the people who created this country 

The River That Is America is a summation of decades of boat trips on the Potomac River. Jim has stopped at just about every creek and commercial facility on the tidal part of this river over the years and listened to the great stories from the early days of America down to today. It begins at Chain Bridge, where narrow, deep water churns as it begins to make its way past the Nation’s Capitol, and it ends at the mouth of the Potomac at the Chesapeake Bay – a great, wild display of just about every kind of water experience possible. 

Join Jim Burch as he travels down the great Potomac River, to discover the roots of our nation and so many of those extravagant realities about the hard-working river people who created this nation along its first commercial spine. This is truly the river that is America.
