This Discernment Encyclopedia for God’s Spiritual Creation is perhaps one of the most unusual books in the world! Taking over twenty-six years to develop, it documents the spiritual realities of the heavenly places as mentioned in the Bible. In a stunning departure from traditional and commonly accepted theological views, the authors acknowledge what the Word of God so clearly articulates; just as the physical world contains a wide variety of beings and other created things, so does the spiritual world.

Within the pages of this book, you will find over 100 entries that clearly identify multiple aspects of the Holy Trinity, as well as diverse and unique spiritual beings, entities and places. This resource will help you learn how to discern each entry by observing how others are able to feel each spiritual reality with the five physical senses; it is a tool that will train you to know what the Father is doing in the heavenly places so you can model Jesus’ life on earth. In His words, “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.”
