Books by Ellyn Davis
The Physics of Heaven. Read what some of the most beloved leaders in the Christian charismatic movement have to say as they explore the mysteries of God hidden in sound, light, vibrations, frequencies, energy, and quantum physics and they share their insights into how God may use these different expressions of creation to usher us into the fullness of Pentecost. Contributors include Bill and Beni Johnson, Bob Jones, Larry Randolph, Ray Hughes, Cal Pierce, Dan McCollam, Jonathan Welton, and David Van Koevering. “In this powerful book, Judy Franklin and Ellyn Davis assemble a team of seers who peer behind the curtain of creation to reveal the mysterious nature of our Creator. This book reads like a journal that emerged from a Holy Spirit think tank where great spiritual leaders gathered to discuss their insights into the complexities of God. Through their collective intelligence, these seers have emerged with new perspectives never before pondered.” (from the foreword by Kris Vallotton) $16.00
Books about Christian Home Schooling by Ellyn Davis
My vision of education is derived from Michelangelo’s perceptions about his sculptures, and I have spent the better part of my life working out this vision with my own children and encouraging others to do it with theirs.
Most people are familiar with Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the David. An admirer once asked Michelangelo how he had managed to work with the rock to produce such an exquisite human form. Michelangelo replied, “In every block of marble I see a statue as though it stood before me, shaped and perfected in attitude and action…. I chipped away all that was not David.”
Another time, when asked about his magnificent angel statue, Michelangelo responded, “I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.”
Not only was the artist able to see in average slabs of marble what none of the other great artists and sculptors of his day could see, but, since his statues were meant to tower over anyone standing near them, he changed the proportions of the figures so that when viewed from below everything seemed proportional. Michelangelo not only released what he saw in the marble, but he released it in such a way that everyone else could clearly see what he had seen in it.
So, what does this have to do with education? Everything.
Each person is, in a way, like Michelangelo’s sculptures. They are masterpieces hidden within “blocks of marble” that we get to help “free” so that they can fulfill their destinies. Freeing them from the marble should be the goal of every pastor, coach, mentor, teacher, and parent.CROSSROADS PHARMACY
