Background The Gospel of Thomas, a pre-third century book, was discovered buried up the Nile River in Egypt in 1945. The first two sentences state that Jesus was the author and Thomas was his scribe. Up until this publication, no one was able to determine its chapter, paragraph, and stanza breaks. Further, no one found a way to discern the author's meaning for his key metaphors.

The Main Discovery When Dr. North applied the Semitic Secret to Thomas, he discovered:
That it was an intricately arranged book of wisdom poems,
That when you read correctly, the author's meaning for his metaphors and poems became clear,
That the author was teaching an alternative to the indoctrination of religious, educational, and political institutions,
That the author called indoctrinators "dark," "dogs," "dividers," and "false gods,"
That the author intended to empower people to discover their own answers with the help of Spirit, and
That the author was teaching the ONLY Way to resolve religious and most other conflicts.

Implications

The author almost certainly was murdered (as he might be today for such a message)..
The author needed to compose a book that would explain his revolutionary message after he died.
The author would have given a copy of his book to trusted associates in case he died.
The author would protect those with the book by not associating it with his name and by telling them to take it to a safe haven, such as Egypt after he was murdered.

Conclusion Jesus composed The Gospel of Thomas, which is the only accurate record of his Messianic, unification message.

Overview: This Professional Edition of the Gospel of Thomas includes:

The history of the book's discovery.An explanation of each of the 125 wisdom poems.A synopsis of Jesus' core message.A way for the reader to measure his current level of living Jesus' message.150-page appendix explaining Semitic Parallelism, the method used to determine the organization and meaning of the Gospel of Thomas.Fourteen reasons to believe that Jesus composed the Gospel of Thomas.The intricate arrangement of each poem.

Review

"Robert North's book is in the tradition of those who argue against a literal reading of scripture, in fact inviting us to read The Gospel of Thomas as wisdom poems full of ancient metaphors.

His major claim is that he has discovered a new, semitic pattern to The Gospel of Thomas. Like many a Buddhist teacher, he challenges us to try his approach and see if it doesn't work for us.

I appreciated the way he arranged the verses of Thomas like poetry, forcing me to slow down and look with new eyes at a familiar text."

My Niece dog loves it!
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
This ball launcher takes a bit of getting. used to, but it is really helpful for those of us who are not MLB pitchers! The launcher itself is a sturdy plastic that is not brittle yet not soft; when the ball is launched there is no destructive bending in the shaft. The handle is padded and ergonomically sound while the cup end cradles the ball but has cut-outs on each side for easy loading and unloading of the ball. It did take a bit of practice for me to get the hang of it, but for my husband and son it was much easier. The launcher works well to help us older, non-gifted athletes launch the ball farther and faster while saving the shoulder, elbow, and wrist (important if there is any arthritis). The ball fits nicely into the cup and releases easily. The 2.5 size was too small for my Doberman, so we opted for the 3.5 in launcher. This smaller launcher and ball are now in the employ of my sister and her husband for their retriever-border collie mix, an 18 month old little fireball!. This is just the right size for her. My sister's husband has difficulty with arthritis and is neither quick on his feet nor able to stand very long. So the launcher comes in very handy. He can actually sit in a lawn chair and throw the ball repeatedly when their dog retrieves and returns it to him. That is a win- win! Top 3 Likes: -Easy to use -Helps older pet owner -Drives the ball farther and faster Top 3 Dislikes: -With repeated uses the edges of the launcher appear to get scuffed and scratched -Some ingrained staining on the edges persists requiring scrubbing to remove -There is a mild worry that with time the launcher may snap

My dog loves it
Size: 25in, Style: Sport
I am amazed at how far I can throw a tennis ball. My dog and I absolutely love this. What happens to work well with the squeaky balls?I get on amazon as well. I have one of these at home, And I keep another one in the truck. Very durable, The balls have good bounce, My dog and I have a lot of fun with it. My dog doesn't chew much on balls, But this one seems like it's going to stand out, I love the versatility, Hey can handle almost ending ball that same size. Are you solid rubber bouncy balls, Squeak. Ing tuba balls, Whiffle balls with all the holes in it, Even the squeaky chewing balls. As long as there are that same size. love the product. I've been using them for a few years.

Great product
Style: Sport, Size: Large
This is a lifesaver. My lab will chase the ball all day and this saves the arms and shoulders. A little bit of a learning curve to use but I would definitely recommend

Labs love this!!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our Lab LOVES everything about this thing! Recommend getting extra durable balls as the 1 included fell apart in 1 hour. I have a very energetic Lab retriever that we have to force to stop playing ball so he does not overheat. That & the force with which you can throw this ball did not help keeping it from splitting it in 2 in less than 1 hour. This is worth the money for the extra throwing power & distance but do invest in the ULTRA strong ball for dogs like retrievers! Also, be sure to order the correct SIZE OF BALL, specific to each different size of throwing wand. My fav thing about this item is #1 the joy my dog gets from the new challenge of racing to catch longer throws, & #2 I don't have to get my hands covered in dog slobber!! He has gotten to where he can almost put it in the cup himself so I won't waste time throwing the ball again! Man, I love that dog!!! ❤️

Must-Have for Active Dogs!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
The Chuckit Sport 26L Dog Ball Launcher has been a game-changer for my large dog! My 80-pound Labrador loves to play fetch, and this launcher makes it so much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. The 26” length gives me the leverage to throw the ball much farther than I could by hand, which really helps burn off my dog’s energy. The included large ball (3”) is the perfect size for big dogs, and I appreciate that it’s made from durable rubber, so it withstands a lot of chewing and rough play. What I really love is that the launcher is so lightweight and easy to use. I can play fetch with my dog for extended periods without my arm getting tired. The ergonomic handle also provides a comfortable grip, which is a nice touch. If you have a large, active dog, the Chuckit Sport 26L is a must-have. It’s well-made, durable, and makes fetch more fun for both you and your dog. Highly recommend!
