	A Cosmic Drama, by Chuck Gianotti The involvement of men and women in the Church is an exquisite and dramatic portrayal of great truths about our Lord and His creation.

As men and women discover God's wonderful variety in their lives and ministry together, we all grow in our understanding of Him and His magnificent creation. This book is not meant for the casual reader who will simply flip to the conclusions to check whether the author lines up with the accepted status quo--what ever that might be.

	Spiritual Reality or Subtle Deception? by Chuck Gianotti and Shannon Gianotti Many have been drawn into movements that emphasize seeking God in a phenomenal way--through miraculous signs and wonders--only to end up shipwrecked in their faith. The co-authors, a father and daughter team, have "been there, done that." Chuck was involved with the charismatic movement of the early 70's and Shannon with the more recent, so-called "Signs and Wonders" movement. In this book, they reveal some of the subtle ways Christians can be led astray. God certainly works in mysterious and sometimes miraculous ways. But there are dangers to seeking signs and wonders. The insights shared here can help Christians avoid falling head-long for misleading notions that have the veneer of spirituality but the core of falsehood. $5.00 U.S. This book can also be downloaded as a PDF file at our "Articles" page.
