Humans are composed by DNA, and through chemical action it maintains and renews us daily. This poetry book explores the many facets of our existence through the lens of our own DNA. Most of us know who our fathers are, but it's not that difficult to find someone who discovered in adulthood the uncomfortable truth through DNA analysis. DNA determines our personal identity, not counting the effects of environment. The topic of DNA covers race, medicine, sexual attraction, procreation, family, gender, vaccines, crime, eye and hair and skin color, COVID, longevity, national identity, mutation, relationships with parents and children, beauty and ugliness, and height, to name a few. For example, the miracle of birth is accompanied by a rush of hormones ensuring the bond between mother and infant. Some medical researchers are recording the DNA of large human populations, which will lead to broad advances in diagnosis and treatment. Some nations are recording the DNA of many or all of their citizens, which will lead to privacy invasion and police suppression. As with computers, such research is a double-edged sword. This book engages these subjects and more surrounding the central force of DNA.

In the spring of 1939, life at Highfield, a twenty-two-room vacation home on nine hundred acres in Suffolk on Prince Edward Island, should prove idyllic. Michael Moreland, the superintendent of the manor, and Susan Moncrieff, the daughter of Sir Richard and Lady Richard Moncrieff, Highfield's owners, look forward to their wedding just a few months away. Susan and her mother have arrived on the island only recently, sent by Sir Richard from Clifton Manor, the Moncrieff family home in Suffolk, England. A retired rear admiral of the Royal Navy, Sir Richard serves as a senior SIS strategist in London, monitoring the growth of the Nazi war machine on the continent. Convinced that war is imminent, he purchased Highfield to provide for the safety of his wife and daughter. With two sons serving as officers in the Royal Navy, and certain that war is imminent, the family braces for what seems to be the inevitable. With German operatives newly detected on the island, and German U-boats already on patrol in the North Atlantic, how will the island and her people fare as they face the threat of the next war?

Laughter is the light that seeps into the darkest moment of our lives. It is the only wisdom that brings us closer to our human nature. Let There Be Light In Darkness is a culmination of twenty-five years of reflection on meaningful existence and seeking simplicity in truth and purpose. The sole purpose in writing poetry is to awaken the conscious mind and to let the human spirit live in the wholeness of reality. As a physician, I have used poetry to heal the ailing soul by using a holistic and integrative approach to medicine. Words have the power to move the masses and change perception of reality so that humanity can strive toward greater good. Truth can only be known once we shed light into darkness and come out of our shadowy existence fully formed. Let There Be Light In Darkness is my way of looking deep into life's finite existence and walking toward my end with every moment of my beginning.

A Crown for Ted and Sylvia is a book of poetry for Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes fans and for those obsessed by their compelling literary story. It examines questions about the politics of family and shifting perspectives over time, and asks why some families are fated to repeat certain narratives over generations. Finally, those who enjoy traditional forms, such as sonnets, villanelles, and pentinas, will find plenty of them here.

McHugh's poetry is driven by a profound care and concern for wildlife and our diminishing environment. Today's threats to our mental and physical health are lurking in the underbrush, waiting to be blown or ignited by forces beyond our control. Peace of mind is attainable if we work to protect our common destiny. The near future will determine what that destiny may be.

Remarkable studies in the New Testament have recovered the fact that the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, was apocalyptic good news--God's redemptive action within history.Today, for more and more people, the sheer scope of an evolutionary universe renders life on Earth as utterly insignificant, religion as nothing more than superstition. And now, in the Anthropocene, we on the pale blue dot live in an apocalyptic age in which cataclysmic issue after cataclysmic issue threaten the future of the planet.The faith of the early church was in an apocalyptic cosmic Christ unleashing within history God's good news of a new creation. Set within the world as we now know it, this gives meaning to the cosmos and life wherever it is found around any star.Screened from view for over a millennium during mission to non-apocalyptic cultures, now is the time for a new paradigm for church, the ""apocalyptic church"" for an apocalyptic age to replace the denominational church. What a difference this makes to faith, worship, and the role of the church in an apocalyptic future.

""As if woven into the same blanket, I felt the connective thread between everything and everyone. As I raised my hands and closed my eyes to surrender to death, I knew, I was surrendering to life."" Kindling for Your Next Fire is a collection of thoughts and poems that take a journey through addiction, loss, spirituality and healing. It is an earnest seeking of identity and spiritual repair.

The overall problem raised in this book is that the Western culture of modern rationality, power, and economics departs from a rather narrow, secular and ego-centric worldview. Therefore, it does not recognize the identity of traditional cultures and religions nor social, economic, or ecological justice in relation to the rest of the world.Western religion has, over history, often played a legitimating role for political power, and the expansion of institutional structures and has therefore lost much of its prophetic identity to be signs of peace, justice, and unity. The ecumenical and integrative model of stewardship as an "economy of grace," with a deeper ecological philosophy, does, however, offer new visions for a multicultural and multireligious economy.This book is intended for leaders, students, and scholars interested in interdisciplinary studies of politics, religion, economics, and ecology. This will also be of interest to students and researchers in peace studies or conflict management, as well as to leaders who are engaged in the building of peace and justice.
