That He supposedly calls Faustina a "sweet grape", "beloved pearl of My Heart", "the honor and glory of My Passion", and supposedly says that "the entire Holy Trinity finds Its special delight in you"? And that her version of Mary - who wears transparent(!) clothing - supposedly leaves the infant Jesus alone with Faustina & disappears?Did you know Faustina has grandiose thoughts (e.g. "It seems to me that the whole world serves me and depends on me", "I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine", "I also feel that God, absolutely self-sufficient though He is, cannot be happy without me"), admits to "often" speaking untruthfully ("I often represented myself to my superiors other than I was in reality and spoke of miseries of which I had no notion"), reproaches a saint, orders Jesus around, calls God a "Mother" & a "divine Madman"? And that Jesus supposedly 'dotes' on her, places her above all other virgins, promises her a "permanent income" and a "new world" to live in?

She claims "all that exists" is hers, that the Lord's gaze rests upon her "before any other creature". Although her writings have a number of theological concerns, she claims to have "interior knowledge of God" & even claims to know "the entire essence of God."Did you know Faustina has doubts about her alleged visions, has difficulty knowing whether something happened in a dream or in reality, is quite emotional & dramatic, claims she won't undergo judgment, claims the Blessed Virgin is in a "special and exclusive way" her Mother, says that "Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior", and claims that Jesus literally(!) took her heart (so that she has no heart). And despite all the alleged heavenly encounters, Faustina considers her life to be "drab"!Although Faustina's Divine Mercy devotion is very popular, it's clearly not without controversy, including the fact that it was initially forbidden, that it contains elements pleasing to modernists & Protestants, and that there is arguably a stark contrast between it & Fatima, not to mention Holy Scripture.

I spent years trying to come to terms with the events of my past. I struggled with unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment (and that was just to myself).Over thirty years of imprisonment and held captive to vices and bad choices that I have made. I started solvent abuse at the age of fourteen, moving on to cannabis and progressing to heroin; not to mention the copious amounts of alcohol that consumed me, my relationships and my life.Alone in a prison cell, waiting to be sentenced for 'Intent to Supply Class A drugs, I realised that I had enough of what I'd become and where I was heading. So, I sought divine guidance for the direction of my life and I found freedom.

The gavel hit the block and his mind went silent. Mark´s soul folded up small: once, twice, and once more. Until his senses were withdrawn from the reality and the numbness in his head made a dream-time of the external world. His mother´s cries echoing in the courtroom. But it couldn’t be real, could it? A violent thrust and he fell into a cage. A heavy door closing behind. The sound of the starting engine. Bang! The gavel against the block now was no more than a resonance in his head. He lost the game. It was over. From mindless delinquent to mindful hypnotist, Mark Anthony´s story take us from the criminal world of Southeast London, through many trials and tribulations to a successful career as one of Australia’s most sought after Hypnotists. A roller-coaster of family violence, children’s home, expelled and suspended from schools, child abuse, drugs, crime and loss of freedom in the form of time behind bars; cancer, bankrupt, divorce and false accusations, brother of a murderer, and the power of a man´s mind driving his way out to a brighter life of love and success. Mark´s incredible story goes beyond anything told before: a real emerging phoenix. Fatherless, poor, beaten, abused, arrested, belted, threatened, on the verge of death…Mark´s childhood and adolescence elapsed like the worst of nightmares. The brother of a murderer, he lost four friends to heroin and was employed by an underworld figure. Treated like scum but trusting there was a way out, it was when the game seemed lost, behind bars, that Mark decided to change his life. It was an arduous path, rich in disappointments and great mistakes, albeit Mark´s life tells us that nothing is fatal and never everything is lost. An inspirational but raw story showing us that, no matter where we are at, there is always a way up if we put our mind to it, “It’s all about the choices we make”.

Gut Instinct: Diets Missing Link teaches the skill of healthy eating and achieving healthy weight without dieting. It speaks to the quiet majority of people who are sick of the cult diets and tired of the standard dogma. The present epidemic of obesity and the current controversy over which popular diet is best, Atkins, South Beach, The Zone, Dr. Phil, and endless others is the result of an oversight at the foundations of nutrition. Gut Instinct reveals what everybody overlooked in their mad dash to the top of the diet heap. It explains why carbohydrates are so controversial, how to use them effectively, and why the popular cult diets do more obscure the problem of obesity than to solve it.
