A cold stone heart breaks more easily than it beats. Than it loves. Damien was a loyal warrior, killed in battle in 1203. Because of his true heart, he was given the option to pass on to his eternal reward or exist in another state of being as a protector... until he could resume living the life he'd been cheated of. A soldier by nature, he chose the latter. And he waited centuries-as a gargoyle-growing increasingly bitter about his choice. Then he sees her. Rina is a hard worker and loyal friend. But she has the worst luck. One night, after saving her best friend from a violent assault, she finds herself at the attacker's mercy. Then, out of nowhere, a savior comes and rescues her. With only an angel to guide him, Damien must make the right choices to win Rina's heart, or be forever damned as a grotesque mockery of the guardian he once was.
Célèbre professeur, historien, auteur et maire de la ville, Léon-Jeffrey Hoare, nous offre ici une oeuvre fascinante et envoutante. Il réussit le tour de force d'associer une histoire de la fondation de la ville de Castillonnès à une vision plus générale de ce que sont les bastides.On comprend pourquoi cette ville fut si importante, bâtie sur la frontière entre les territoires anglais et français. On découvre avec surprise la façon dont la ville fut séparée en deux parties, une anglaise et une française.Paradoxalement l'histoire de cette bastide racontée dans ce livre est une histoire vivante. Ouvrant ce livre et parcourant les pages, va vous permettre de voir Castillonnès sous un autre angle. Traverser la ville deviendra alors une expérience unique.

Nottingham or Snotta-inga-ham, as it was originally called, has a long and rich history with many stories and fables written about it or its people. Once a Royal Bastion that then fell out of favour, labelled as a rebellious town and later a City. But the world has a lot to thank Nottingham for. This list isn't extensive but gives you a flavour: ● Tarmac, the first road being laid in West Bridgford● Running Water● Traffic Lights● Lace● VCR (Video Cassette Recorder)● Raleigh bikes● Flying bedstead that became the Harrier Jump Jet● MRI Scanner● Ibuprofen>This is not mentioning the very many hundreds of thousands of talented people born, reared and/or who chose to live in Nottingham; just as Snotta did nearly 1500 years ago. People full of ingenuity, wit and fun; after all with a greeting of 'Ey up me duck, y'alreet" in the local dialogue you must enjoy a laugh. In 2001 unveiled just outside the Nottingham Playhouse was the Sky Mirror designed by renowned sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor. Sky Mirror is a 6-metre-wide (20 ft)-wide concave dish of polished stainless steel weighing 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons) that is angled up towards the sky. Its surface reflects the ever-changing environment but it allows you to look straight into the very soul of the City. Deep in the heart of the Sky Mirror were these amazing untold historical stories which provided the answers to the following questions: ● Why was Snotta-inga-ham so important to the Danish Vikings?● Why was it so crucial that King John found and made a hunting lodge near Edwinstowe his own?● How was the 'real' Mortimer's Hole really lost and what part did it play in the Gunpowder Plot?● How did a public house on Castle Gate really get its name?● How did the City hold the key to solving the puzzles to the location of King John's and the Blackbeard's treasure?● Why did they really shoot a Batman Film at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham?● Who was the Ghost of Chilwell and his involvement in building the 1st Golf Course in England?● What do Ghandi, Einsten, Mao Zadong and Hitler have in common?>Are or could these stories be true, that is for you to decide.

Despite a stellar career marked by groundbreaking achievements, Dr. Ski Chilton, a distinguished scientist, grappled with persistent negative emotions, unpredictable reactions, broken relationships and deep depression. His quest for understanding propelled him into the science and philosophy of free will, questioning if humans (or he) truly possessed it. In his 2016 book, The Rewired Brain, he explored scientific literature that illustrated the existence of two rival minds, emphasizing the dominant influence of the unconscious mind - a factor he identified as the root cause of much of his own suffering and the overarching distress felt by humanity. Yet, this realization was not the full answer he sought.Then a Sunday morning violent encounter with an untamed Arabian horse nearly cost him his life. From his new vantage point in a wheelchair, the internationally acclaimed biochemist shifted his focus from the purely scientific to the deeply spiritual, immersing himself in mindfulness and meditation practices. This journey not only facilitated his physical recovery but also ushered in a profound spiritual enlightenment he never saw coming.In his new book, There is Another Way to Happiness: The Four-Step CAST Process that Will Transform Your Life, Chilton presents a rare blend of science, mindfulness, and spirituality to walk readers through the four, overlapping steps that helped him overcome his own cycle of fear, anxiety and self-doubt, and led to his total transformation.In his book, Chilton traces his personal odyssey, from fame and money-obsessed egoist to fully awakened Observer of the expanses of conscious living - a journey that ultimately culminated in the creation of his CAST Process, a daily life framework encompassing four vital stages: Consciousness, Awareness, Surrender, and Trust.As readers embark on their own journeys and engage in the book's 13-week meditation/ reflection practices, they can: Rewire destructive thought patternsDeepen their self-awareness, peeling back the layers of their being to discover innate happiness withinLet go of ego, fear and the illusion of controlEmbrace life's unknowables, including the ultimate mystery of deathProfoundly connect and co-create with the creative intelligence of the universePrepare to awaken to an entirely new existence.

يمثل الحوار ركنا أساسيًا من أركان الدعوة الإسلامية؛ ولأهميته تكررت الآيات القرآنية الداعية إليه، فأصبح الحوار مع أهل الكتاب مسؤولية دعوية ملقاة على عواتق المسلمين، ذلك الحوار المبني على التسامح والهادف إلى كل غرض نبيل، فهناك أصل يجمع أتباع الديانات الإبراهيمية اليهودية والمسيحية والإسلامية)، ويظهر ذلك الأصل من قوله تعالى تَعَالَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍۢ سَوَآءٍۭ فتلك هي الدعوة الإبراهيمية بمفهومها الشامل وفيها يتضح موقف القرآن من الحوار مع أهل الكتاب.❝The Quranic Perspective on Abrahamic Faiths Trialogue. This Ph.D. dissertation delves into the Quranic viewpoint regarding the trialogue among Abrahamic faiths, a topic of significant concern in today's interconnected world. This research addresses the intricate religious issues associated with this trialogue and underscores the necessity for a meticulous examination from a theological standpoint. The study draws upon the Quran, prophetic traditions, and the works of classical and contemporary Muslim scholars to shed light on this subject. It systematically explores the foundational principles, operational methods, and underlying mechanisms that underpin successful dialogue. One of the central findings of this research is that dialogue emerges as the most fitting approach for Muslims to engage with individuals of other faiths. This engagement, referred to as Dawa, allows Muslims to communicate their beliefs and values while respecting the identities of others. This approach fosters an environment of peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding among diverse religious communities. Importantly, the research emphasizes that the value of dialogue extends beyond the specific outcomes it may or may not produce; it is a meaningful process in itself.❞
