Creation Spirituality: A Theology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Systemic Theology sounds like a work that will close debate, shut down questions, and attempt to sit conclusively on a shelf. In this novel undertaking, the author has borrowed that classical form and danced around it with a wonderfully accessible exploration of Creation Spirituality. Kuykendall\u2019s tone is personal and invitingly conversational, and will lead the reader to want to further explore, to read broadly, and of course \u2013 true to the Creation Spirituality tradition \u2013 get oneself off the bookshelves and into the messy, inspiring, and beautiful gift that is existence. With scholarship and storytelling, the author entices Christians familiar with restrictive theological categories the chance to recognize the authenticity of the Creation Spirituality tradition, and to embrace a spiritual life that is vibrantly here-now and this-worldy. To those new or familiar with the tradition, Kuykendall\u2019s Systematic Theology excels as both a primer and reference companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarot Meditations Inspired by Creation Spirituality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarot Meditations Inspired by Creation Spirituality<\/em><\/strong> is a book that has a threefold purpose. First, it provides those who read it with meditations on nearly every aspect of life, from a spiritual perspective. Secondly, it provides much of the newest understanding of the tarot that we have to date. And “No” the tarot did not originate in Egypt or some other esoteric place, but rather in Northern Italy in the mid-1400s. Finally it provides you with the means for doing “art-as-meditation,” in that you can color most of the tarot card images. In other words, you can meditate on the tarot images as you color them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liturgies of the Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the nature of the environmental crisis, Kuykendall has designed and number of Liturgies to be done in the Church or outdoors–by congregations or just interested people who would like to celebrate the Earth’s “holy days” \u2014 the Solstices, Equinoxes, and the Celtic “quarter days” which fall between the Solstices and Equinoxes. The purpose of this book is to instill a sense of the sacredness of the Earth, and thereby help us not to abuse the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexuality and the Catholic Church<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexuality and the Catholic Church<\/em><\/strong> is a book that deals with the unique approach the Catholic Church takes towards human sexuality. From celibate priests and nuns, to consecrated virgins, to the ultimate Virgin\u2014Mary, who is said to be a perpetually virgin, even though she gave birth to Jesus\u2014to not allowing contraceptives for its members, and its refusal to ordain women as priests, or allow priests to marry. And much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wisdom of Solomon: According To\u2026 me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What The Wisdom of Solomon: According to… me<\/em><\/strong> is, is a rewriting of all of the books attributed to Solomon\u2014even though we know most were certainly not written by him. And those books would be: The Song of Solomon, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, The Wisdom of Solomon, The Greater Key of Solomon and The Lesser Key of Solomon. The book is poetic in its format, fresh in its content, and extremely informative in its endnotes. This book was a product of Kuykendall’s practice of “Lectio Divina in Four Dimensions” and he hopes that in reading this book you will be inspired to do the same… in your own way, or “According to… you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forgotten Witches of Ancient Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forgotten Witches of Ancient Israel<\/em><\/strong> asks the question: Who were the witches in biblical times, and what did they do that was so horrible that Exodus 22:18 would give the commandment \u201cThou shalt not allow a witch to live\u201d? These are the words that fueled the fires of the Burning Times, when witches were burned throughout Europe for a number of centuries. In this book, we will not only explore the Bible for answers of who they were and what they did, but we will also consider the Burning Times, as well as what modern witchcraft is today, for that we can truly know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Really Knew the God of the Bible You Wouldn\u2019t Like Him<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is an expos\u00e9 of the not-so-loving God of the Bible\u2014someone you wouldn\u2019t like if you really knew him. Here you will embark upon a journey through the vast and dangerous terrain of the Bible landscape. This is a journey not for the fearful but for the courageous, and the Rev. Dr. Kuykendall will be your guide\u2014having made this journey many times himself.

You will start your journey beginning in Genesis and continue on it until you reach the last verse of the book of Revelation. You will see things and think about things that many would prefer not to. But for those who persevere, their reward will be to know who \u201ctheir God\u201d is as compared to the God of the Bible and to know how the world could be more tolerant and peaceful if only those of the \u201cAbrahamic faiths\u201d would let go of their image of a vengeful warrior God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Ways to Lose Your Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Ways to Lose Your Faith<\/em><\/strong> is a book that reevaluates traditional Christian theology as well as the discipline known as philosophy of religion\u2014which deals with the \u201cbig questions.\u201d This book is not a warning of how one can lose their faith or a book that will make you lose your faith. Rather, it is a book that stresses the importance of reevaluating your faith. If we still live believing what we believed in Sunday school, it shows that we have not grown in our understanding of what we believe. St. Paul once wrote, \u201cWhen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things,\u201d\u2014and I would add childish beliefs. In this book, the author will walk you through the process of reevaluating your faith so that you can grow up into what your faith can be now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Curmudgeon\u2019s Commentary on the Book of Revelation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Curmudgeon\u2019s Commentary on the Book of Revelation<\/em><\/strong> is both a scholarly and satirical look at one of the Bible\u2019s most enigmatic, mystifying, and sometimes even terrifying books. People of all generations have speculated as to the identity of the Beast of Revelation. It was thought that he might be Nero, the papacy, Hitler, Gorbachev, or Saddam Hussein. And writers on the book span the spectrum from Isaac Newton to Edgar Cayce, to D. H. Lawrence, and even to David Koresh. So here\u2019s another stab at it\u2014this time, however, from a curmudgeon. And if you don\u2019t know what that is, look it up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dream Life of Jesus<\/em><\/strong> is a fictional account of Jesus\u2019s dream life, created and adapted from the extensive dream journals of the author.
