Ptolemy Tompkins Book order (chronological)

A Seeker, a Scientist, and the Stunning Answer to the World’s Oldest QuestionPtolemy Tompkins, collaborator on the New York Times bestselling Proof of Heaven and Proof of Angels , is at his lowest point, personally and professionally, when he meets with an astrophysicist with a message for the God is real, and science proves it.Proof of God i s the unlikely story of how this serious scientist and this broken writer, in a series of conversations stretching over several months, come to understand that the universe—from the smallest sub-atomic particles that make up everything in existence to the farthest reaches of the universe—bears evidence of a creator. In short, God not only exists, but science gives us tools to know this.Proof of God shows how science and religion both point to the same stunning and world-changing God is real.

Ptolemy Tompkins and Tyler Beddoes share details of modern-day miracles and explore the evidence for the existence of angels in the world

Venerdì 6 marzo 2015, Spanish Fork, Utah. Jennifer, venticinque anni, è appena stata a cena da suo padre e sta tornando a casa quando perde il controllo dell'auto. La macchina sbanda, finisce capovolta nel fiume, Jennifer muore sul colpo. Il mattino successivo l'agente Tyler Beddoes è da poco giunto sul luogo dell'incidente con la sua squadra quando improvvisamente una voce di donna richiama la sua attenzione tra le lamiere. La voce non può certo essere quella di Jennifer, ma non può essere neppure quella della sua piccola Lily, di soli diciotto mesi, miracolosa mente illesa e sospesa a testa in giù al buio, a pochi centimetri dall'acqua fredda del fiume. Da questo episodio di cronaca che ha colpito e commosso l'America partono Ptolemy Tompkins (che per primo ha raccontato la straordinaria vicenda di Eben Alexander, protagonista e autore di "Milioni di farfalle") e Tyler Beddoes per costruire una vera e propria inchiesta sugli angeli, tanto emozionante quanto documentata e ricca di testimonianze. Cosa sono davvero? È corretto attribuire loro sembianze e caratte-ristiche umane? Si manifestano esclusivamente alla vista o la loro presenza può essere percepita anche attraverso gli altri sensi? Sono solo presenze benefiche o esistono anche i demoni? E ha senso parlare di angeli custodi?

Fascinujúca kniha o tom, že anjeli sú skutoční a v živote každého z nás hrajú prekvapujúcu úlohu. V marci 2015 milióny ľudí na celom svete šokovala správa o dramatickej záchrane osemnásťmesačnej Lily Groesbeckovej, ktorej sa podarilo prežiť napriek tomu, že štrnásť hodín strávila v prevrátenom aute. Vozidlo, nad ktorým jej matka podľa všetkého stratila kontrolu, zostalo čiastočne ponorené v ľadovej rieke v štáte Utah. Štyria vyslaní policajti začuli hlas, ktorý ich vyzýval, aby nepoľavovali v úsilí: „Pomôžte mi, pomôžte mi.“ Domnievali sa, že sa im prihovára matka dieťaťa, ktorá zostala zakliesnená v aute. Keď ju však s dcérou vytiahli von, uvedomili si, že hlas nemohol patriť jej. Očividne totiž zomrela už pri dopade. Ptolemy Tompkins, spoluautor bestsellera denníka The New York Times, a Tyler Beddoes, jeden z policajtov, ktorí sa zúčastnili na záchrane Lily, vysvetľujú nielen tento zázrak dnešných čias, ale aj existenciu anjelov. Do pútavého rozprávania zakomponovali viaceré príbehy zo života a preskúmali dejiny, podstatu i význam anjelov v životoch ľudí. Kniha dokazuje, že hranica medzi duchovnom a tým, čím sa zaoberá veda, je menej jasná, ako si myslíme.

The author Proof of Heaven teams up with the sages of times past, modern scientists, and with ordinary people who have had profound spiritual experiences to show the reality of heaven and our true identities as spiritual beings.

In an America captivated by quick enlightenment, Ptolemy Tompkins is a seasoned seeker. Having explored diverse paths—from Black Elk to the Dalai Lama, and from mescaline to motorcycle Zen—he shares his journey in pursuit of universal truth. Growing up in the '70s as the son of radical freethinker Peter Tompkins, Ptolemy embarked on a quest for enlightenment long before it became fashionable. His explorations through various philosophies and spiritual teachings, including Buddha, the Bhagavad-Gita, and Carlos Castaneda, led to valuable insights, though he questions how much true wisdom he gained. This work combines profound intelligence with humor, offering a touching narrative of a spiritual journey that veered off course. Ptolemy candidly critiques the flashy signposts of contemporary pop wisdom while recognizing the enduring value in spiritual literature. Blending personal memoir, affectionate critique, and genuine advice for a fulfilling life, this book serves as a thought-provoking gift from a man who has thoroughly examined his path in search of meaning. Through his unique perspective, he sheds light on the modern quest for peace and transformation, all while maintaining a sense of fun.
