The Bible is not just a record of God's work in the past. It also shows us the work that God is doing in our own time and our own lives. This is the message of hope in the sermons of Hugh Eichelberger, who has preached at Presbyterian churches throughout the Southeast. The sermons in this collection, arranged according to the Christian Year, were preached at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church in Charleston, South Carolina, where Dr. Eichelberger was senior pastor from 1991 to 1996. "With both skill and passion, Hugh Eichelberger consistently preached sermons of consequence. He joined our human stories with the Biblical story, enabling us to listen for God's word in all the places where we live." Jon Regen, Presbyterian Pastor Emeritus "Dr. Eichelberger's familiarity with the Scriptures is profound and acute. He has wrestled with the angel, as did Jacob. He is now Elijah on top of the mountain. And he is still John the Baptist, crying in the wilderness and preparing the way for the Lord." Father Francis Kline, O.C. S. O., Abbot of Mepkin

The Aztec Book of Destiny summarizes traditional Mesoamerican beliefs about the spiritual nature of time and its influence on one's personality and fate. The ancient Aztec, Toltec and Maya believed that the day of birth, as defined in their sacred calendar, affects destiny; and this philosophy has guided their daily lives for more than 3000 years. This book condenses the scattered and disparate literature about these beliefs into a fun and informative narrative; but it goes far beyond what academics and popular authors have published to date. The author presents a unique perspective shaped by the wisdom of a traditional calendar-keeper he met in Mexico in 1973. The book's message is that the calendar is not simply an ancient and forgotten curiosity - it is as relevant today as in ancient times. The majority of the book projects the timeless Mesoamerican philosophy into contemporary Western society encouraging introspection and self-awareness.
