Parson Tom's Spiritual PDF Books

Many of the Books that I will have available here are Apocryphal or come from the Nag Hammadi and some would argue because these writings are not contained in the Bible then they are of no value, I disagree. I welcome and thirst for any text that has to do with God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

NIV Acts 28:26 “ ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
        27 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

NIV Revelation 21:6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.

There is much knowledge contained in these books and so much of it can be such a blessing and I pray that you will be blessed by any of these books that I share with you. Parson Tom

The Book of Common Prayer is the short title of a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion, as well as by the Continuing Anglican, "Anglican realignment" and other Anglican churches. The original book, published in 1549 (Church of England 1957), in the reign of Edward VI, was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. Prayer books, unlike books of prayers, contain the words of structured (or liturgical) services of worship.

One of several apocryphal texts by this name. This in particular is an 1887 edition of the Hebrew text Sefer haYashar The publisher of the book claims it the lost Book of Jasher refered to the book of Samuel although the book never makes the claim itself. The author is unknown although it is assumed by academics that the author was an Orthodox Jew based off the fact that the work shows influence from the Talmud, Rashi's commentary, Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer; the Yalkut; the Chronicle of Moses; Yosippon; Midrash Abkir and also the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).

I have just myself recently downloaded this book. What little I have read so far I like. The Book of Jasher is mentioned twice in the Old Testament:

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

2 Samuel 1:18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

There are 13 ancient history books that are mentioned and recommended by the Bible. The Ancient Book of Jasher is the only one of the 13 that still exists. It is referenced in Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18; and 2 Timothy 3:8. This volume contains the entire 91 chapters plus a detailed analysis of the supposed discrepancies, cross-referenced historical accounts, and detailed charts for ease of use. As with any history book there are typographical errors in the text but with three consecutive timelines running though the histories it is very easy to arrive at the exact dates of recorded events. It is not surprising that this ancient document confirms the Scripture and the chronology given in the Hebrew version of the Old Testament, once and for all settling the chronology differences between the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Septuagint. The Ancient book of Jasher is brought to you by Biblefacts Ministries, Biblefacts.org

Albert Einstein's religious views have been studied due to his sometimes apparently ambiguous statements and writings on the subject. He believed in the god of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized. He also called himself an agnostic, and criticized atheism, preferring he said "an attitude of humility."

I have always held a high respect for Albert Einstein and readily read anything I can about him. This book I would say would be a Must Read on how this scientist thought about Religion and Science.

The Sophia of Jesus Christ is one of many Gnostic tractates from the Nag Hammadi codices, discovered in Egypt in 1945.

        One critic has said of this writing: "This is we believe, the greatest literary discovery that the world has known." Its effect upon contemporary thought in molding the judgment of the future generations is of incalculable value. In general, this account begins where the Genesis story of Adam and Eve leaves off.

        While some scholars date this book’s authorship to several centuries B.C., because of its contents and nature it is believed that it was passed down via oral tradition from Adam to others until finally someone wrote it down. The earliest scribe would have been Enoch, but it could have been another.
