Author Sherrie Dillard, a professional intuitive and medium, is no stranger to religion. Her mother and one of her brothers are Methodist ministers and her other brother is a Catholic theologian and head of the religion department at a Catholic University. Through her unique perspective as an intuitive and medium, Sherrie presents a groundbreaking viewpoint of the Virgin Mary. Mary, she explains, is a saint for all people. Christians, Buddhists, pagans, Muslims and spiritual seekers alike find common ground is this new revelation of Mary.

After recounting some of her often funny early intuitive experiences and her encounters with Mary, Sherrie discusses what she believes to be Mary’s true message. Living in a strict Jewish community where woman were considered second class citizens, Mary shifted the prevailing concept of God as a judging, moralistic and male outer force to that of an inner spiritual presence. When she invoked the power of the heavens and miraculously conceived, Mary created a new paradigm. God became the divine loving spirit of grace and miracles that can be found within. The miraculous conception was not a one-time only event. All people, Sherrie affirms, have the innate ability to intuitively communicate with angels, experience synchronicity, live in grace and co-create miracles.

Of the Miracle Workers Handbook, Margaret L. Starbird, author of “The Feminine Face of Christianity” and “The Woman with the Alabaster Jar,” writes: “Sherrie Dillard’s new book presents spiritual truths to bless today’s pilgrims learning to trust the spiritual guidance of intuition and synchronicity. Stories she shares about the miraculous are illustrations of a clear connection to the ‘Way’ of radical trust in the ‘Divine Presence’ in every facet of our human experience.”

Joanna Macy Ph.D., author of “World As Lover, World As Self,” says: “Everything that Sherrie Dillard writes has the ring of authenticity that comes with great beauty and spiritual depth.”

Sherrie is the author of the best-selling “Discover Your Psychic Type” (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2008) of which Business Reed Information said: “Lifelong psychic Dillard (intuition development, Duke Univ.) offers up a genuinely satisfying work on developing psychic abilities well beyond the typical if-I-can-do-it, you-can-too!”

Her book “Love and Intuition” (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2010) explores how to develop intuition in one of the most spiritual aspects of life: love and relationships. SingleWomenRule.com wrote “The book that can turn your love life around,” and Suite 101 wrote, “This book is a keeper!”

As an intuitive and medium, Sherrie has a busy international clientele. Her writing has appeared in national magazines and she has been featured on radio and television for her innovative books and her work as a psychic detective and medium. She has taught intuition development classes at Duke University, Miraval Resort and in Latin America and Europe. Her passion for the fusion of intuition, spirituality and conscious self-growth has made her a popular speaker and teacher at retreats and conferences both nationally and internationally. Sherrie holds a B.S. in Psychology and M.Div. in New Thought pastoral counseling.

Never one to accept the “norm” when it comes to knowing and living her spiritual life, Reverend Glas was prompted, by God, to make this information open to anyone desiring to know what is REALLY going on in our world and explains why some worldwide disasters have and will continue to happen.

As the world has been slowly overcome by chaos, behind the scenes Reverend Linda Glas has been quietly going about her business. Her business is educating people about the urgency to prepare for the end of days, otherwise known as The Rapture/end of time.

Rev. Glas has worked tirelessly to interpret content for you, the seekers of spiritual truths and concepts. The facts gathered in her 40-year quest had to be interpreted from mountains of ancient documents, astrology and especially the Bible – then proven by current scientific findings in physics, biology, mathematics, and even art. One of her greatest gifts is the ability to decipher confusing Biblical script, especially the Book of Revelation, where she reveals hidden messages we need to know about the beginning of our world, war in heaven, and the future that awaits us.

Her website, www.glaspath.com is full of more information than most single-topic books. In fact, she has been given such a tremendous amount of information that she had to decide how much of it to include in these works. For that reason, there are several books with two parts (each e-book is over 400 pages!), so the readers get tons of value for a small price – $8.88 (per title). Sample chapters of the completed books can be downloaded from her site. Other e-books will be added upon completion.

Customers can be assured they are getting the best, most reliable news about:
* The end of the world as we know it (it is not 2012);
* What happens when and after we die?
* Is the antichrist here yet?
* What exactly do we have to do to prepare for our final exit from life on Earth?
* What part animals play in the grand scheme;
* Time is speeding up;
* And many more topics that will shock you.

In addition to her site, her editor has a blog – http://www.glaspath.com/bloggy/ – where all the funny, weird, strange, blessed, troublesome and surprising events occurred during the last eight years of preparing this work. And, they continue to this day!

“We are pleased to announce that Tami Heim is the new president and CEO of Christian Leadership Alliance,” said CLA Board Chairman, John C. Reynolds. “Tami Heim is a visionary with a deep understanding of the trends and opportunities facing Christian nonprofit ministries today. She brings a wealth of proven experience to this role, and has the ideal skill-set and knowledge to lead CLA wisely into the future. We’re thrilled to have her serve as CLAs new president and CEO starting in January 2012.”

Heim brings extensive leadership experience to this role including her service as president of Borders Inc., and as executive vice president and chief publishing officer of Thomas Nelson Inc. She has also served as a consultant to NavPress, Zondervan and other Christian publishers. Presently, Heim serves as a partner and brand strategist with The A Group Brand Development in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Service on nonprofit boards is integral to Heim’s experience as well. She serves on boards such as Lead Like Jesus, EQUIP, Growing Leaders, Christian Women in Media Association and more. She has been a guest lecturer at universities such as Harvard, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Colorado, and Albion College. Heim has also appeared on Fox News, MSNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, The Today Show, NPR, and other national media programs.

Tami and her husband Dale are loving parents of a married daughter, Zoe, who is expecting their first grandchild. She and Dale are deeply involved in the life of their local church, including an initiative close to Tami’s heart; leading mission trips to Jeremie, Haiti to minister to orphans and to teach, disciple, and develop them as Christ-centered leaders.

“Tami Heim’s professional background is noteworthy, but to the CLA board her most important asset is her deep commitment to Christ and her vision for advancing CLA’s goal of training, developing, and investing in individuals, teams and organizations that are furthering God’s kingdom purposes in our world,” said Reynolds.

Mark L. Vincent, who graciously stepped down from the CLA Board to serve as CLAs acting president and CEO will continue in that role until the end of 2011. In 2012 he will re-join the CLA Board of Directors. “The CLA Board also extends a heartfelt thanks to Mark L. Vincent for the outstanding job he has done as CLA’s acting president and CEO,” said Reynolds. “He has led this organization with excellence throughout this transition, and we are pleased that he is rejoining the CLA board in 2012 where he will continue to provide wise spiritual leadership for CLA.”

CLA will feature more on the organization’s new president and CEO in the Spring 2012 edition of CLAs national magazine Outcomes, as well as in CLA’s electronic newsletter OutcomesONLINE.

Taking place Sept. 16 and 17, Skull Church Missoula will feature two highly anticipated bands, Blindside and Family Force 5, with the cornerstone of the night being a raw and relevant gospel message from Levi Lusko.

“Skull Church has always been a platform to spread the message that the most beautiful thing to ever happen in history occurred in a place of death-God died in our place,” says Lusko. “We’ve broadcast that message through the monthly Skull Church event, on the Web, and radio, now we’re amplifying it through the speakers at the Wilma. We’d like to see every one of those 1,067 theatre seats filled with people hearing the gospel.”

Skull Church has become an impressive platform for live music, and the Missoula event will be no different. Attendees can expect state of the art audio and visual technology, along with an experience that rivals most mainstream concerts, but the focus isn’t the show.

“The platform may be intense, the music and media aggressive, but the heart of the night is to lead the audience into a better understanding of who Jesus Christ is and what he did on the cross,” says Executive Pastor Coy Trammel.

Although the edgy format and use of technology typically draws a younger generation, Skull Church is for everyone.

“Skull Church isn’t your grandmother’s church, but she’s welcome too,” says Lusko.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the evening kicking off at 7:00 p.m. both nights. Skull Church Missoula is a free event specifically for a generation that does not know God, isn’t necessarily “into” church, and desperately needs Jesus. The primary focus of the night will be to bring a culturally applicable, explicit gospel message.

“We are humbled by the response to Skull Church but we are not identified by how many are inside the church, but instead by how many are outside,” states Lusko. “Our vision is to see those stranded in sin find life and liberty in Jesus Christ.”

For those who can’t make it, Skull Church Missoula will be broadcast online through a high definition webcast at www.skullchurch.com – and streamed live on Fresh Life Radio at www.freshliferadio.com . For more information about Skull Church, call Fresh Life Church at 406.257.3339.

Produced by Fresh Life Church and based in Kalispell, Montana, Skull Church was launched in June of 2009 and occurs on the first Wednesday of every month.

“Nine Days that Changed the World” tells the story of Pope John Paul II’s historic nine-day pilgrimage to Poland in June of 1979, which created a revolution of conscience that transformed Poland and fundamentally reshaped the spiritual and political landscape of the 20th Century.

Newt and Callista Gingrich, along with a Polish, American, and Italian cast, explore the momentous events that moved the Polish people to renew their hearts, reclaim their courage, and free themselves from the shackles of Communism.

Established by Pope John Paul II in 1985, World Youth Day is a week long Catholic gathering of youth and young adults held every 3 years in cities around the globe. Between August 16 – 21, over 1 million people will participate in WYD events, culminating in a Mass led by the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.

“‘Nine Days that Changed the World’ conveys Blessed John Paul II’s universal message of freedom through faith,” said Callista Gingrich, President of Gingrich Productions. “It is an honor to share our film with those attending this year’s World Youth Day.”

On April 1, 2010, Ed Forchion was arrested in Mount Holly, New Jersey with a pound of cannabis in the trunk of his car. A Burlington County grand jury indicted Forchion in August of last year for violation of the State’s drug laws. In October 2010 he pleaded not guilty. He faces more than a decade in prison if convicted.

Forchion is a dual citizen of New Jersey and California. Forchion also operates a medical marijuana (dispensary) Temple in Hollywood, California called the “Liberty Bell Temple II.”

In December 2010, Superior Court Judge Charles Delehey permitted Forchion to challenge the constitutionality of the state’s marijuana laws, which makes marijuana possession illegal (and a Schedule I drug) because it purportedly has no medicinal value. At the same time, New Jersey is implementing a medical marijuana program for the treatment of needy and ill citizens since New Jersey became the 15th state to legalize the use of medical marijuana on January, 2010.

The legal brief raises eight grounds explaining why the indictment must be dismissed. These include that Forchion, as a practicing Rastafarian, should be granted a religious exemption under the First Amendment (and Equal Protection Clause) to possess marijuana since marijuana – known as ganja in the religion – operates as a sacrament and is an integral part of the Rastafarian religious ceremony.

Other issues raised in the brief are: that marijuana should no longer be classified as a Schedule I drug (with the hardest drugs such as heroin, LSD, etc.) since even New Jersey now recognizes its medicinal value; that Forchion should be able to possess the marijuana on the grounds of “medical necessity” since he is a medical marijuana patient (approved in California, one of his two residences); and that the New Jersey marijuana laws do not provide adequate notice that he could not possess his required medicine (and religious sacrament).

Saykanic says, “It’s not only un-American that Rastafarians are discriminated against for their sacred religious views, but it’s outrageous that the alleged ‘illegal’ drug that is their sacrament has now been acknowledged by the State to have great medicinal value, yet they continue to be persecuted.”

Rubin had been running the temple for both Jews and Christians calling it a “Judeo-Christian Congregation.” When he was arrested Rubin was told by an LAPD officer, “There is no such religion as Judeo-Christian.”

Rubin, a messianic Jew, was sentenced to five years in prison, however never served a day in jail. During the trial Rubin was not allowed to mention medical marijuana (an herb used for healing by Temple 420), the Bible, or the U.S. Constitution. Rubin continues to be an advocate for both the Bible and marijuana. Currently Rubin teaches a course on the “Jewishness of the New Testament” at the Union Bible in Pasadena and is a current registered candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles.

The Family Church (www.thefamilychurch.com) is led by Senior Pastor Bishop Donnie Williams who is famous not only for his preaching and teaching of God’s Word, but for his movie and martial arts career. Bishop Williams was in Bruce Lee’s movie “Enter the Dragon” as well as seventeen other feature films, including some starring Chuck Norris. Members of the church are invited to a free karate class every Monday night led by the former World Champion (1977-1981).

“We have so many activities at our church,” stated Pastor Brown, “but Craig and I wanted to reach young people with the Word before they go out and party on Saturday night. You know, Get Your Word On before you head out…it will make Saturday night better.”

“Even though we are at a Christian church I still want to hang out to Jewish people, so we made the service after the Sabbath, so Jews can drive out to party with us.”

Rubin, who led a Free Speech club when he was a student at UCLA in the early 1990s, added, “We are going to open the Bible study up for questions and conversation too. Every one who wants to say anything or comment at the study will have the chance.”

The two pastors, both married, are trying to create a fun Saturday night Bible study for young and single people, as well as anyone interested in “the Word,” to get together. Rubin and his wife plan to organize the group going to the movies after the study. The church is between the Rose Bowl and historical Pasadena, which has a fabulous village for taking in a film or getting a nice bite to eat.

Pastor Valerie, head woman’s pastor of the church, said, “Studying the Bible should be fun and interesting. That’s what we here at The Family Church believe.”

No Reservations are needed to attend “Get Your Word On”
6 p.m. Every Saturday Night
The address is 1540 N. Lincoln Blvd. in Pasadena, CA 91103
There is parking available at the church.
