He is a mature and worldly man, with a beautiful wife and academically gifted children. He has worked hard at his career and is holding down a high-profile and well-paid management job. The only dark cloud on the horizon is the impending conflict in Yugoslavia - the country where his wife grew up. Without warning, a remark by his psychologist friend Susan causes a frightening emotional reaction deep within his soul. Over the following weeks his emotional turmoil intensifies, and he is forced to face up to the painful truth that he has been living a lie for much of his adult life. In an attempt to understand his deep confusion, he embarks upon the most intense, painful, and yet wonderful journey of his entire life. And he soon realises that the past is here to stay... A novella about love, loss, and a search for reconciliation.

The present is not just a moment. It is a reality of its own that does not belong to time. It is next to impossible for the human mind to understand the present, for it dwells only in the past or the future. Perhaps this is why, as human beings - creatures bound to the mind - we struggle to comprehend the sheer magnanimity of mindfulness, the subtle art of being here and now. In this fascinating deep dive into the world of the "Now," enlightened teacher Avi takes us on a magical journey through the labyrinth of the mind - its fears and afflictions, desires and disappointments - to a place pulsing with pure peace, bliss, and aliveness: the eternal now. The reason we often miss the magic of the present moment is that it seems like too simple a solution for life's complex problems. Yet, many times, it is the simplest things that are the hardest to understand. Navigating the mysterious realm of the now takes knowledge and skill. Who better to guide us on this magnificent journey than a realized teacher whose dwelling is the present moment?

After an archaeological excavation under the Giza platform Kemp Hastings, Darlene Gammay and Erica Vine, once again find themselves caught up in a series of inexplicable events that introduces the three colleagues to an ancient Anunnaki Pharaoh called 'Og' and have to acknowledge the workings of alchemy and time travel coupled with a glimpse into the afterlife.   As Kemp Hastings works away in his Baker's shop known locally as the 'Biscuit factory'  An alien entity appears out of nowhere and for some reason sends or bio - locates Hastings to the Museum in Cairo where he finds himself under arrest from the local authorities. Whilst in police custody a visitor turns up and explains to the baker the secrets of an ancient prophecy that was coming to fruition in this modern age, and that the great sorcerer 'Og' from Kom Ombo, Egypt was travelling through time in order to seek revenge on the kings that had waged war against his people. The oddity being that 'Og' on this occasion may have been sent to the biscuit factory for another purpose entirely by the Anunnaki.   After receiving the 'red egg' of the creation theory, Erica and Darlene are sent into the underworld by the alien to be prematurely judged as retribution for disturbing the resting tomb of the great King Nimrod (Gilgamesh) due to their earlier exploits as a 'curse' punishment. However, they survive the ordeal having explained to the great 'Utu' of the underworld that they were still living beings and had not passed the human cycle of life and ask that they be returned to their normal lives as they had been sent by the 'Og' under false pretence.    As the story unfolds it becomes apparent that the 'Og' was on a mission from the heavens to help humanity against a surge in the 'climate changes' across the planet earth and engages with world leaders to execute a joint military and alien global  seeding program to reduce climate change starting in Antarctica.    The only problem being that the Draco lizard species and some rogue Igigi beings are acting on behalf of the serpent Queen and were attempting to heat up the earth and remove mankind, whilst attempting to take over earth and erase the Anunnaki from existence.   This is the final book of the Trilogy - The Anunnaki Legend of the Ankh, The Seed - Anu Nexus & The Alien Biscuit Factory.

Nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Awards"Outstanding. . . . It's a fascinating future, and Jude's personal story is involving." -Rich Horton, Locus MagazineJude Plane is not your typical teenage boy, even among the other kids in his cloistered religious enclave. He belongs to the Machinist Guild, a group that forbids the use of any technology more advanced than a doorknob. But advanced technology can be hard to avoid when you live in an overlooked corner of Netherview Station-a giant wheel in space, twelve light-years from Earth.Jude wants to live an obedient life, whatever that means, but his resolve is put to the test when his abusive father sends him to work outside the enclave, unloading freight at the station's hub. There Jude will make friends stranger than any he has ever known and will find himself confronted by choices he never imagined. But will he solve the biggest mystery of all-the mystery of who he is?"An intelligent, well-crafted piece. . . . Shunn's elaborate details about the religious rules and philosophies of this group form thought-provoking parallels with some of today's funda-men-talist religious groups. It would not surprise me if this tale eventually finds a place in someone's year's best science fiction anthology." -Jeff Cates, Tangent"A well-considered examination of a basic SF concern: the clash of differing technological levels, and how this (especially now) can cause the lower-tech culture to retreat into funda-men-talism. . . . Shunn gets a lot of good satirical digs in, and a contemporary dilemma is penetratingly illuminated." -Nick Gevers, Locus Magazine

It's happened that he found himself in captivity, like millions of Soviet soldiers and officers in the first year and a half of the war with the Nazis. He inevitably had to die, being a Bukharian Jew, but he was saved by taking on the guise of a Tajik. And then-concentration camps, escape, joining the partisans of Italy, Albania, Yugoslavia, participation in combat operations of the Resistance. Life and death were separated by a thin, shaky line. Further determined by Lady Luck...

In my years of being a Christian from 1993, I've seen many things in church leadership that led to members of their church not only leaving their church, but leaving God altogether. Every church I've been a member of has been guilty of the contents of this book. Christ is speaking to His church and desires major changes to how church leaders handle His people. Every backslidden Christian needs to read this book if you left the church because of church leadership. Be restored to Christ today and learn how to navigate within any church fellowship.
