An ancient cry takes on new meaning as we watch America and the West spiral down a dark path of degeneracy, selfishness, and toward a future which is truly inhuman. In "Come Out of Babylon: How America Fell So Far From Grace", Tom Kawczynski explores the often asked question where it all went wrong with a surprising conclusion.The America we now enjoy is the logical outcome of decisions being made in Western Civilization for hundreds of years going back to understanding the Renaissance as rebirthing the Pagan worldview as man as god unto himself coupled with the dynamic energy of Enlightenment dialecticism whereby we assumed asking enough questions would lead to all the answers. In an objective and self-interested world where man becomes object instead of subject, we now find ourselves serving a system which makes us into tools and trapped by those same implements in a life which makes less sense each day.This provocative narrative is a guided walk through the systems that keep us under control and an invitation to all who see the opportunity to begin detaching from a path that can only lead to the demise of this country, this civilization, and all who do not seek a new way forward where human needs including the spiritual become primary once more.

What if we behaved like we actually believed God was real? How much better would we treat one another, and what a different world might we live in?Building on the foundation of Scripture for guidance, Tom Kawczynski addresses the rising discord in the United States from a Biblical perspective in this book, seeing a land that has long abandoned our traditional values, sought at every opportunity to distance ourselves from God, and asking if we should be surprised if a land in such rebellion should find itself so unhappy.There is no political solution to a spiritual problem, yet we keep seeking the right personality, ideology, or philosophy to lead us forward, thinking that our problem is as simple as finding the right formula. In truth, what we require to turn back toward God, understand sin, offer repentance, and to follow the timeless message of the Gospel to find our salvation, as surely in this world as the next."In God, We Must" starts this painful but necessary conversation about how much better America will become if we honor God more than we seek to indulge ourselves.

An insider’s view of the inner workings and prevalence of spirit possession in our modern world • Provides practical techniques for preparation, safety, aftercare, and aborting harmful possessions • Reveals the forms of ritual possession present throughout the world--including Uganda, Nepal, Korea, Bali, Greece, Turkey, Scandinavia, and France Drawing Down the Spirits presents an insider’s view of the inner workings, sacred traditions, and prevalence of spirit possession existing in our modern world. Spirit possession is an integral part of shamanism as well as many neo-pagan forms of worship that draw down deities or invite spirit possession. However, spirit possession is not for the unprepared. In Drawing Down the Spirits, Kenaz Filan and Raven Kaldera, both initiated and experienced in shamanic and Vodou traditions, present the practical guidance needed to participate in ritual possession. Addressing the benefits and the dangers that await the naive, Filan and Kaldera show that there is no such thing as a guaranteed “safe” possession because spirits have their own agenda--and they are much more powerful than we are. The authors provide a variety of techniques to prepare for possession and abort possession and to promote the safety of the possessed as well as the spirits and witnesses present. With a wide-ranging look at the historic forms of ritual possession found throughout the world--including Uganda, Nepal, Korea, Bali, Greece, Turkey, Scandinavia, and France--the authors also include numerous firsthand accounts collected from witnesses of modern spirit possession.
