Understanding the Fall...

Boehme lends new light to the study of sin and redemption and how man can find his way back to Christ indwelling. A powerful and inspirational read.

Inspirational!

Boehem was an enlightened mystic. This is a shorter collection of Boehme's writing's. It was his desire to bring others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. The purification of the soul being the predominant underlying theme. A truly inspirational book.
