  • - Into the Middle of Things: Book 3 in The Brain Storm Series
    av Leslie Edgewater
    265,-

    Unexplainable things were happening to and around Bella. She couldn't talk about them with just anybody. There were only a few trusted insiders, the brain stormers, who would take her seriously. In their absence, she had no one to confide in. In the past weeks she had been unable to have a telepathic conversation with Maddie or Gran, and couldn't seem to get her energy back. Her gift was changing, and she attributed it to her journey into and out of the vortex.The closest examples to what Bella experienced were the sun miracles reported at Medjugorje, a phenomenon explained as a religious or mystical experience. What happened with Bella could be described similarly, but she wasn't praying when it happened. She was sitting in a boat underneath a bridge at sunset. Two things these experiences had in common were the extraordinary sunsets and the feeling of being transported somewhere else for a short time.It's funny how you can play with words to manipulate meaning. Bella could say that she had experienced something without admitting that she'd participated in an event. But it was splitting hairs. It was impossible to define what took place. If things were as they appeared, she took a trip. But where did she go? Did she travel in time, to the past or future? Or did she drift downstream into some remote off-chute along the Mississippi? An even bigger question was, could she ever go back?Bruce was frustrated because he felt that Bella shut him out completely. Why would she do something like that? They were a thing. There must be more to the story. Maybe she was hurt or in some kind of trouble. After careful deliberation, he contacted the brain stormers to see what they were able to intuit. It was another dead end. As a last resort, he flew to St. Louis to find out what was going on.When he arrived at her home, Bruce found evidence that she'd left in a hurry. For one thing, her packed bags were sitting by the door. Where would she go for weeks without them? There were fresh foods spoiling on the counters and in the refrigerator. She didn't do things like that. It didn't add up.Lounging by the pool and drowning her sorrows in chocolate, Bella wondered why Bruce just up and left without a word. Even though they weren't legally committed to each other, they were inseparable, best friends. They joked about being friends with benefits, but they both knew they were a matched set. She understood why he hadn't reached her in the past two days, her phone was dead. But what about the weeks prior? These past months were magic. There was no forewarning, no hint that he needed space. It wasn't like him.Returning to business as usual was difficult. As it turned out, other members of the mastermind group had been channeling a string of numbers, too. Each of the psychics had received them in different fashion, but it was the same group of numbers Bella received. When they put their heads together, and Bella recounted her experiences, things began to fall into place. It was a calling.Partnered with other members of the mastermind group, the circle of trust expanded. Their vision and mission broadened. Their destination became clear. Where it lead them wasn't on any map. What they agreed to undertake was the adventure of a lifetime, a trip into the invisible.

  • - California Blacklisted Latina
    av Michael, III, Carlos, m.fl.
    385,-

    This work is the second in a series of studies illuminating important, yet overlooked and forgotten Latino Civil Rights activists. Each study is unique and a standalone presentation of an individual and the times in which that individual lived. Each study is neither a biography nor monograph, but an introduction to that activist and the situations in which the individual was required to function.The reader may well be advised to view each work as an introduction to the life and times of the individual. Additionally, no person is an isolated life. Each of us is part of an interlocking association of friends, acquaintances, and unfortunately enemies as well. Thus, many other players interact with each of our main characters to some extent, great or small, and for good or evil. Some of these other players will tend to appear in their various roles in more than one of the works in this series, and more than one may become the main character in one of these works.This work has such juxtaposition with the first book in our proposed series. The first book focuses on the life of Bert Corona, a blacklisted Hispanic civil rights activist. In that book, a work focused primarily upon Bert Corona, another character appears in a discussion of the Sleepy Lagoon Murder Case. This financial wizard was Josefina Fierro, the main character in this study. Thus, various characters, both protagonists and antagonists, appear in these various roles, large and small, much as a series of books might have interlocking characters fulfilling major or minor roles as the series develops. However, these characters have the added worth of being real human beings living their lives in a period that brought about our own world of the present.Thus, this series of studies has as a main goal, to address these individuals and their activities with the available source material. If there is no other value to them, may the value of "Let every voice be heard" constitute the motivation for their existence. However, I believe that the overwhelming percentage of readers will find the material fascinating and informative. Additionally, I believe that the history presented is sound and served to expand the knowledge base of the lives and times examined. As always, I wish each one of you a smashing good read and intellectual illumination.Michael J. Lynch III, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History and Geography University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

    Then comes the brutal announcement that his pregnant fiancée has committed suicide. Marlowe simply cannot accept the official verdict, and as anguish and rage replace the love he once felt, he is driven by a madness that forces him to question his own integrity while he hunts an elusive killer."Koch is an author who has his priorities in order. First and foremost he's constructed an intriguingly complex plot. From the beginning, he pulls readers in with intense scenes of suspense. Little by little he then provides just enough information to keep them guessing as to who's pulling the strings and why. When the loose ends are eventually tied and revelations ensue, Koch still manages to add a surprise or two." -Jake Bishop, Hollywood Book Review (And Come Day's End: A Michael McKaybees Mystery)"The contrast of what is right and what is wrong within Black's own conscience added even more to this mystery. Overall, I found Beholden: A Marlowe Black Mystery to be a five-star page turner!" -Michel Violante for Reader Views

    The Book of James is a celebration of life with a comedic touch and a Cajun twist. Ironically, it begins on a serious note as Jamison J. James, now an octogenarian, ponders ending the life of his best friend, Ted. There is nothing to prevent him from doing so since he has killed before.James, as he is familiarly called, is a veteran of World War II who spent most of his time during his service years as a Nazi prisoner in Stalag 17B near Krems, Austria. This is where he first knowingly takes a life by choking a guard to death. He is not a man who regrets and reasons, "…some men deserve to die ahead of schedule."He has earned a reputation as a good family man and astute businessman during his lifetime. He may have taken a few shortcuts along the way, but does it matter if you've lived to be a respectable old man? After all, a little embezzlement here and an occasional adultery there don't mean a thing if they have never come to light.James is a man of his generation. He loves baseball as played by the New York Yankees and the orchestral music of the Big Band Era, especially that of Glenn Miller. He is an accomplished dancer and uses his talent to good advantage in his younger days with the women in his life.The Book of James begins in the northern, far tamer part of Louisiana before expanding to its fun-loving south. The settings shift and the memorable characters reflect the spirit of the Cajun and Creole cultures where the rallying cry is "Laissez les bon temps rouler!" It's translated as "Let the good times roll!"And roll they will. Expect visits to entertaining and uniquely Louisiana places-a bordello in the New Orleans French Quarter, an impromptu concert on a front porch in Cajun country, and a sporting event where the main attraction is the odd assortment of crazed fans.The Book of James takes the reader to some unexpected places but the journey is meant to be fun and enlightening. It is the literary equivalent of a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. There are secrets to be revealed but they may be more of the human heart than physical things hidden behind a clever cover.The Book of James is a unique work and is best read under the conditions that it was authored. Glenn Miller's tunes should be playing in the background. The chapter headings are all songs Glenn Miller recorded. Please use it as a guide but include "Little Brown Jug", "Tuxedo Junction," and "A String of Pearls."The Book of James is the second in a trilogy of works and is appropriate for most readers. The first novel, Better To Be Vile, is recommended only for those who understand the meaning of Shakespeare's Sonnet 121.The author, John Dye, practiced pharmacy for thirty-five years until he got it right and retired.

    Curious and imaginative kids and a language-loving mom magically came together to invent an alphabet game that you and your kids can enjoy, too. It's creative, simple, and endlessly entertaining. Here's how it works. Call out a letter, and your child answers with a word that begins with that letter. But then, they have to make up a sentence using that word. For example, Mom says: "C" and the child responds: "C: Convertible. I would like to have a convertible like Daddy's friend has-a car where the top goes down." It can work in reverse, too, so you can teach new words to your kids and then make up a sentence to demonstrate usage and context . . . just as the author does in this book. Just as you learn about your kids from their word choices, they learn about you from yours. Educational, personal, and delightful, this book shows you an ideal way to build word power while having a great time!

    El haber sido favorecida con una extraordinaria belleza física, o el vivir en un mundo moderno bajo la sombra de una heroína de guerra, o quizá, la necesidad de sobrevivir la frialdad de un padre que la ignoró a través de su vida, serán los factores influyentes en el "misterioso" comportamiento de Bella?Misterioso hasta cuando se trata del amor?.Y esa muerte inesperada, quien la causa y porque? Seria Bella misma?O será que Bella es la víctima de un deseo que ella misma pidió en una vida anterior?"Los deseos se hacen realidad por eso debemos ser cuidadosos al formularlos y no sabemos en qué momento en el tiempo se realizaran," es una máxima que todos hemos escuchado alguna vez.Drama, intriga, suspenso, misterio, son los elementos resaltantes de esta historia que mantendrán al lector en el filo, no solo por el impulso natural de querer adivinar el desenlace, sino también por su vacilación interna de cómo "debería" juzgar a sus protagonistas.El elemento sorpresa será determinante.Y entonces, será el lector el que decidirá.

  • - Art of Inner Transformation
    av Tom Bisio
    239,-

    Literally translated as "Form-Intention Boxing," Xing Yi Quan emphasizes internal movement within external stillness. Practicing Xing Yi trains the practitioner to actualize the instinctive, hair-trigger reactions of the human body in direct, powerful movements. Xing Yi training focuses on natural, integrated movement, whole body breathing, and the movement of Qi (vital energy), rather than external technique. Rooted in Daoist meditation and longevity practices, and Chinese medical and martial art traditions dating back into antiquity, Xing Yi Quan training draws upon ancient Daoist meditation and inner alchemical practices that transform the body's internal structure, while confronting and dispelling extraneous thoughts to actualize true Intention, thereby providing the practitioner with a comprehensive method of actualizing his or her own inherent potential.Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation is not a how-to book. In this fascinating meditation on the art of Xing Yi Quan and its many applications to life and living, author Tom Bisio discusses the many facets of this ancient art:• What is Xing Yi Quan?• The Relationship of Xing Yi Quan to Daoism• Xing Yi Quan and the Five Elements• The Health Benefits of Xing Yi Quan• Xing Yi Quan Training• Suitability of Xing Yi Quan for Different Ages & Lifestyles• Xing Yi Quan as a Martial Art• Xing Yi Quan as a Psycho-Spiritual PathXing Yi Quan has five key movements, known as The Five Elements, or The Five Fists. Each of the Five Fists has a specific internal action and intention that is simultaneously energy enhancing, combative, and strengthens and harmonizes the internal organs. Practicing the Five Fists cultivates Qi and develops practical fighting skills. In Xing Yi Quan: Art of Inner Transformation Tom Bisio explains how the postures and movements of Xing Yi Quan open the body's energy pathways (meridians), promoting health and well-being, while simultaneously arousing and enlivening the Qi, so that there is no gap between intention and action.

  • - How a Multi Party System Can Restore Civility and Community to the Country
    av Robert Alex
    235,-

    Robert Alex's The Broken Two Party System is a calm, clear-minded, unbiased analysis of the root causes of the often vicious partisan politics we see around us today in the American political landscape.A recent Gallup Poll showed that seventy-seven percent of Americans see the country as divided. More startling yet, a quarter of all Republican parents and twenty percent of all Democrats would be upset if their child married someone who supported the other party.Vicious partisan politics is causing the great divide in the country.Robert Alex makes an intelligent and convincing case that our two party system itself is at the core of the political and social strife we as a nation are experiencing today. He pinpoints the exact reason a binary, two party system is doomed to failure -- an idea shared by our Founding Fathers - and traces the stranglehold domination two party politics have had on American politics since 1797, the end of George Washington's presidency.Robert Alex reminds us that the first president himself refused to be a member of any political party. He, like most of his compatriots, railed against any two party system and worried about the ease with which it would compound those most undesirable aspects of human nature. However, by the inauguration of the second president, John Adams, Federalist and Anti-federalist factions had formed into two political parties. We've been at the mercy of a two party system ever since.Only one alternative party candidate has ever been elected president, Abraham Lincoln, in his second term.With the passing of the 16th and 17th Amendments -- which switched the election of senators from state legislatures to popular vote and then gave them unlimited funding through the country's first income tax - the monopoly of the two party system was assured. Shortly thereafter a new character was introduced onto the stage of American politics, the long term career politician. The use of power by these career Senators and Representatives has become entrenched through their own, often corrupt personal political dynasties, and they now have a vested interest in keeping a two party system that bars any competition.There is, in fact, more political corruption today than ever before, Alex reports. In the last forty years more federal congressmen have been officially expelled, censured or reprimanded for financial crimes than any time in our history.The solution - just as Lincoln did during the divisive atmosphere of the Civil War - is switching to a multi-party political system.It is what is needed, and it is what the public wants. Sixty-one percent of Americans are in favor of a third party. Half of all Millennials no longer identify as either a Democrat or Republican.The Broken Two Party System offers the five straightforward steps we need to take to implement a multi-party system. Three would make an immediate difference. Two are more long term. Altogether they would provide higher voter turnout and a greater representation of the diverse elements in today's society.Robert Alex understands, too, just who the first converts need to be in order to quickly bring into play these changes, changes needed to restore the country to the ideal envisioned by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

  • av The Proving Jesus Group

    God could have created more than one Son, but why create multiple Sons if Jesus had passed the test to prove that he is the Son of God. Our Heavenly Father, not creating a Son would mean he created the earth for himself, and why would he? Without a Son, all that he created such as man and the earth would have been a waste. Obviously this is a project of God, one that is in progress until the entire children of God abode with him. Such a life is possible only because God sent his Son to the earth. Realize we cannot test our Heavenly Father. Therefore, if he was in our sight it would mean eternal life or death. Jesus is the author of salvation, only he can prepare us for eternal life and that imparts is due to his accomplishments. Preparation is the way of the Lord.Never have I sought to compete in the field of Christianity because salvation is more to life than is money. Knowing eternal salvation is not a privilege then how to achieve it is the reason "One Jesus, One Way" should be of importance to the majority who reads it. For starters believers are led in the spirit because of our failure in managing the representative house of the Lord. God’s plan has not been change even after the first sin committed by man. However, he has separated the spiritual world from that of the carnal world."One Jesus, One Way" goes from switching leaders to the image of the Son of God. We then learn the protocol for Jesus's church. The Holy Bible is reference to prove my word true. I believe God created us to build a world that follows his protocol but sin has interrupted his plan. It is hard to imagine a world without sin because of the world we live in but it does exist. We live in a world wanting to separate from God desire. Since I cannot change the world, I work diligently to understand the Word of God because my heart desire is the Lord's. Anyone curious of my heart desire should read my book. It is worth our time if we familiarize ourselves with the Word of God because of the happenings in the present world. God has turned a void world into something meaningful but currently we seem to be heading back to the state of the world when it was void.The manuscript of “One Jesus, One Way” is part of a news feed for the children of God. It demonstrates a true leader, the sacrifices to hold such a position and the characteristics of a congregation that is devoted to a true leader. Both the leader and congregation are expected to reach a goal because of their dedication to each other; a lesson we ought to learn and overcome our failure in leading.
