The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper remains an article of faith for today's 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one third of the planet.
Before the rise of Christianity, the ancient Greeks found salvation in their own sacraments. Athens' best and brightest flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed heavenly visions for 2,000 years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one with the god, achieving immortality. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine - the original sacraments of Western civilization - were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory.
With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity between pagan and Christian wine. He unravels the ancient Greek of the New Testament with the world's most controversial priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity's oldest monuments.
The Immortality Key reconstructs a suppressed history of women consecrating the forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were later targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe's sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. If the scientists of today have resurrected this technology, then Christianity is dead. Unless it returns to its roots.

Gaining her trust won’t be easy. Earning her love will be nearly impossible.
Leah Manning is working to get back on her feet after her ex-husband disappeared one night, leaving her to raise their infant daughter alone. When a trip to a hardware store has her literally falling into the arms of its handsome owner, his charms are hard to resist. But he’s a stranger, and, to her, that means he can’t be trusted. Can she learn to let her faith be stronger than her fear?
Brian Matthews has never met a stranger. A friend to everyone he meets, he can’t understand why Leah is determined to keep him at a distance. He only wants to help, but she can't accept that he only has the best intentions. It’s a good thing his love is patient.
Leah isn’t ready to let the love she feels for Brian override years of fear, and he’s tired of spending lonely nights playing songs on his guitar to fill the silence. What will it take to show Leah that Brian is the answer to her prayers?

This short audio presentation by Dr Denis McBrinn and narrated by Sara Dylan is designed to bring clear understanding of the many ways in which the Bible encourages us to "Live Courageously" in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and to give you an opportunity to focus and reflect on the level of courage currently in your life.' Our challenge is to live the Christian values of courage by putting the words of Scripture into action in our daily lives. The Bible is meant to help us to live our best possible life, in line with God's will. But the words of Scripture are meaningless to us, unless we put those words into daily practice, and that requires courage and commitment. In reality, we are being challenged by God to make the Gospels truly meaningful and inspirational to our lives. Otherwise The Bible, without readers who are inspired to act out the Word, is just another book on the shelf. This audio listening experience will include a meditation or reflection to support you as you strive to live courageously. The message should appeal to all Christian denominations and will avoid any narrow or dogmatic interpretations. The set of nine will include: 1. Grow in spirit by developing Courage 2. Living courageously in practice 3. Courage is the corner stone 4. Courage and fear 5. Courage and resilience 6. Courage and adaptability 7. Pray for courage 8. Meditation on courage 9. Our challenge
No other book of the Bible gives a clearer sequence and detail of the events surrounding the glorious return of Jesus Christ than the two letters Paul writes to a young church at Thessalonica (Greece) who fear that they will be left behind when that great day comes.

Our modern lives can be very hectic and overwhelming. We tend to live in an intense, technological haze of consumerism; advertising and entertainment. We are so busy "making a life" that we have no time to truly live. Often we seem like "human doings" rather than "human beings". How do we create some space and time for ourselves just to become quiet; to be still and to reflect on what truly matters? Meditation is an ancient practice that helps us to go inward and become still. "Be Still and Know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 Stillness is the foundation of the soul and the language of the Holy Spirit. This audio listening experience will include a meditation or reflection to support you as you strive to live courageously. The message should appeal to all Christian denominations and will avoid any narrow or dogmatic interpretations. The set of nine will include: 1. Grow in spirit by developing Courage 2.

Lord Ganesh is the son of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva. He is the first one to get worshipped before worshipping any other god. We can say in short that there is no Hindu who doesn't perform Lord Ganesh’s worship. In Ramayana Lord Rama had worshipped Lord Ganesh.
In Mahabharata Lord Krishna had also worshipped Lord Ganesh. They have become the role models to the whole world. Before the beginning of any work it is common to worship Lord Ganesh. There are many Holy hymns on Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesh’s favorite food is modak.
He gets pleased if we offer Durva grass to him. He also loves red Hibiscus flower. He is called the vighnaharta because he wards off all the obstacles in our life. He is also called vighnaraja. There are infinite names to Lord Ganesh which we cannot explain. He ties a snake around his waist.
The vehicle of Lord Ganesh is mouse in Hindu culture. Lord Ganesh is worshipped all over India. His miracles have been described in all of the 18 Puranas. There are many forms of Lord Ganesh.
He has got two wives one is riddhi and the other is siddhi.Lord Ganesh has got 32 forms of incarnations. The modak which you offer to Lord Ganesh will give you good results. Lord Ganesh does not bias among his devotees. He is specially worshipped on sankashti days. On Ganesh Chaturthi people fast and perform vrath.On this day it is forbidden to see Chandra the moon.
On this day there is a custom to bring Idol of lord Ganesh which is made out of clay and after worshipping it will be drowned into the nearby Ponds, lakes, Canals. In some places people do keep the idol of Lord Ganesh from Chaturthi to Anant Chaturdashi and then do the Visarjan of the idol. Visarjan means leaving the idol of Lord Ganesh and make it drown.
Lord shiva is adi and he is only the anthya. He is the sole reason for the happenings in both the movable and immovable worlds. Therefore, it is said that not even a spring of grass will move without his permission. He is the one who has given life to all the creatures. He is also the one who takes away the lives of all the creatures. Sadhus sages and aghoraas practice severe penance without minding day and night on Lord Shiva.
He blesses his devotees with boons. He is called Bole Shankar. All recite his five syllabled mantra or panchakshari mantra ' om Namah Shivaya' which is the most popular one among all the other mantras. Lord Shiva who is also called Parameswara is the one who has got no birth and death. He is only the beginning and he is the end. Nandi which happens to be the vehicle of Lord Shiva is a bull. The abode of Lord Shiva is Mount Kailash. In Hindu religion Lord Shiva is called Devaadi Deva Mahadeva which means God for all the Gods. He is the supreme God. Lord Shiva has three eyes. The third eye is situated in between his brows. The third eye is used by him only whenever he wants to destroy the things. He is the one who dwells at cemetery.
