Sir Robert Aylward, Bart., M.P., sat in his office in the City of London. It was a very magnificent office, quite one of the finest that could be found within half a mile of the Mansion House. Its exterior was built of Aberdeen granite, a material calculated to impress the prospective investor with a comfortable sense of security. Other stucco, or even brick-built, offices might crumble and fall in an actual or a financial sense, but this rock-like edifice of granite, surmounted by a life-sized statue of Justice with her scales, admired from either corner by pleasing effigies of Commerce and of Industry, would surely endure any shock. Earthquake could scarcely shake its strong foundations; panic and disaster would as soon affect the Bank of England. That at least was the impression which it had been designed to convey, and not without success. [more]

American Renaissance I is the first foundation of an evolving, Bible faithful, new view from Israel. Revealing a hidden spiritual earthquake, its under-the-surface action is the cause of America's deepest transformation since the nation's founding. This is it! The USA's current, but still elusive root problem and solution direction- not yet on many radar screens. Well underway is a morphed America. What is available but still lacking in awareness is a revived vision with an actionable, political formula. American Righteousness & Renaissance uncovers these as life beyond the last Judeochristian era, which is proved to have “ended” in 1963! There has been a 40 year Biblical delay until today's distressing realities have become evident. [more]

In these days of strange and startling events, of rapid and fundamentalchanges, of curious and unexpected developments; these days, tremulouswith the vibrations of the political atmosphere, and quaking with thefierce earthquake of national war; these days, that are filling up a webof history with more fearful rapidity, more complete, important, anddecisive results than any previous epoch in the world's annals,--ahistory which, if ever truly and worthily penned, will demand a deepersearch into moral causes and effects, a closer scrutiny of thephilosophy of mind, and a more careful balancing of political judgments,than any drama ever before played on the great world's stage,--in suchdays as these [more]

The New Millennium is already a New Way- nationally and individually. American Renaissance is the shocking explanation with the political reformulation that alters everything. AMERICAN RENAISSANCE, Men and Women Meeting In The Air, shows the need for a critical retake of so called men/women “progress”. This is not a standard self-help product. It goes way beyond. The interactions of men and women on earth should be "reflecting" the love relationship between God, our "husband" toward His planet earth human group as His "spouse"; for whom God has always been desperate for intimacy. Up to now, time honored scripture has been trampled upon and a new, sounder direction is now uncovered. [more]
