Moonlight in My Eyes has brightened the year 2023 with poet James Richard Hansen's exquisite descriptions of nature and his part in it. The moon, stars, wind, the sea, and occasionally even the sun, paint every nuance of his feelings with the music of words.

And with each rereading, the visitor gains new depths, new vibrations on the strings that the poet's words set into motion. Every line and image awakens sympathetic harmonies, and like classical music, the clear and simple language elicits the most complex emotional responses. Each poem embraces the mind and its rainbow of passions. Each poem invites repeated readings and reveals new discoveries of both the poet's soul and the reader's yearnings.

This book, Essays in Search of Understanding, covers a wide range of topics from "Puzzles and Problems in Buddhism" to so-called "unconditional love." Many of them are short and pithy, meant more as discussion starters than as something authoritative and final. But all of them reflect considerable thought and inquiry. Thoughts and lines of argument which may well both spark your own interest and further your own thinking on these topics. But the book is not an exercise in technical or academic philosophy. Reading and understanding it does not require an advanced degree in philosophy, it only requires an interest in any of the various subject matters and a willingness to wrestle with ideas. The shortness of many of the essays and their open-endedness are meant to invite the reader into an evening's discussion. It can often be both challenging and enlightening to come to 'see' what you actually believe about a topic or, even more surprising, what your beliefs about a particular subject commit you to believing about still other subjects. Enjoy!

Did God hide an "Encrypted" prophetic last day's timeline in the Psalms to be revealed at the very end?If so, the discovery of this timeline would be the discovery of the ages!Encrypted takes you on a fascinating journey through the Bible and the Psalms to explore the answer to this question and many more. On your expedition, you will witness overwhelming evidence of a newly discovered timeline indicating the sequence of prophetic end-time Biblical events.According to the order, as evidenced by the "encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, we can soon expect the infamous Gog Magog Invasion into Israel, detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and the closing of the "Rapture Season," which we are now in, next on the prophetic calendar. Those two events will be followed closely by the rise and revelation of the Antichrist and the beginning of the 7-year tribulation period. The Jews will then return to Israel en masse in time for the completion of their new Temple. Shortly thereafter, the Antichrist will declare that he is God in the new Temple, and the Remnant of Israel will flee to the "Refuge" prepared for them by the true God who will shelter them for three and a half years until Jesus' return at Armageddon.Skeptical? Once you see the "encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, you will recognize that time is extremely short, and there remains a multitude around us who are not yet saved and who will be trapped here to suffer through the worst time in history. Now is the time to fulfill the Great Commission!Furthermore, Daniel 12 tells us that the "sealed-up," or "encrypted," mysteries of Bible prophecy will only be understood by the "wise" in the final generation. We are that final generation spoken of by Daniel. Will we be wise enough to realize that God wants His Church to know about and understand the timing of the days we are living in? Or will we continue to rely on the outdated understandings of generations past? As end-time Bible prophecy becomes more tangible in our day, God has revealed this "encrypted" sequence of years leading up to and through the fast-approaching tribulation period so that we can prepare and help prepare others for a great final harvest before time runs out. We are now living in Bible times. What will be written about you?
