Throughout the ages when ever God was about to move His plan of redemption forward, He always had a woman right in the middle of that plan. In this new millennium God is once again on the move and He is empowering and calling women of all ages to the forefront. The Divine Womb speaks to that call, revealing to both men and women how God is dealing with our hearts and positioning us to transform our world.

[This is a revised edition with minor corrections and textual additions.] Parsifal is Richard Wagner's final musical and philosophical treatise to the world. Since its introduction to opera houses beyond Bayreuth, many have shared their insights about what the spiritual and religious meanings were regarding this work. However, Wagner himself knew what he meant when he conceived it and had a definite purpose for the work. For instance, on September 7th, 1865, Wagner wrote to Mathilde Wesendonck and defined the meaning of Kundry's kiss, its impact on Parsifal and the drama. In "Parsifal: The Will and Redemption," Dr. Mastrogiovanni, an educator in theology for more than 30 years, as well as a student of Wagner's music since the age of five, utilizes Wagner's own concepts from his letters and prose works to help define the meaning of this amazing Sacred Stage Drama. As a recent lecturer in Bayreuth said, "If you love Wagner's Ring and feel ready to enter his last opera Parsifal - this is the book to accompany you."

"In Search for the Holy Grail: Why Ministers Fall" takes a comprehensive look into the baffling and painful events surrounding the moral failure of ministers, as well as the effects on their congregations and ministries. It is a quest to discover why failure occurs and examines the even more concerning revelation that few ministers are ever truly restored to ministry and why. In the final analysis, this book points the way toward a healthy approach to restoration and healing for the ministers, their families, the victims and congregations, not by method or procedure but through addressing the broader view of our Christian culture.

The Spirit of the Scorpion, Conquering the Powers of Insurrection addresses the issue of dysfunctional people who arise in congregations and ministries and intentionally or unintentionally, create disloyalty to leadership and dissention regarding ministry vision. "Scorpion" focuses on how to discern such activity and bring clear, healthy solutions to such problems.
