Word and Deed
by Jeffrey Pierce

The secrets to the miracles worked by Jesus aren't beyond our reach. They don't require us to devote ourselves to a religious path or adhere to the tenants of a specific church. Jesus himself knew this and the path that he taught runs contrary to what most of us were taught to believe about Jesus and Christianity.

What's more is that the keys to the miracles worked by Jesus are so clearly displayed in The Bible itself that we can chart - and predict - the rise and fall of his power using concrete criteria and only the data that is present in the scriptures themselves. Setting aside dogma, using a perspective referred to as conservation of language to read the scriptures, Word and Deed will present evidence into the nature of miracles and spirituality using the story of Jesus as both an illustration and caution.

In a ground-breaking, controversial, and thought-provoking approach to the ministry of Jesus, we discover that the secret to miracles has been hiding in plain sight for centuries. Once you've seen the data for yourself, you'll never look at The Bible or Jesus the same way again!

To maintain my ethical standards as a spiritual teacher, I'm taking a unique approach. I'll be excerpting nearly the entire book and posting it here - for free - as a series of articles. If you enjoy the material, want to offer a tangible thank you, or financially support what we do here at Old Ways, we'll be offering the entire book for sale later this year.
