We overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony.In this book you will learn and understand what the blood of Jesus is, and how to apply it for victorious living.

Just Bee is revolutionary in its ability to teach mindfulness to people of all ages. In such a simple book with so few pages and words, there is a depth of insight and wisdom that helps elevate any reader. From a three-year-old who simply enjoys looking at animals and fire engines to the parent reading the book to their eight-year-old, all will benefit. Just Bee was written by Nick Neild, a mindfulness and emotional intelligence instructor who began meditating in 2011. It was illustrated by Christoph Neger who also has been practicing mindfulness since 2013. The author, illustrator and editor are all experienced practitioners and infused the book with all the love they could muster.Just Bee is a great way to introduce young children to the basics of practicing mindfulness. On many pages it invites the reader to breathe in and breathe out so that reading the book becomes a meditation and the reader begins to meditate even on their first read! It also helps increase emotional intelligence by showing that feelings are often the reaction to a perception and that if perceptions change, then the emotional landscape does too. Lastly, Just Bee explores one of the main misconceptions about the practice of mindfulness which is that perceiving a "distraction" is somehow a failure of meditation. In the book, a helpful wise bee shows the main character Charlie that distractions are simply things that happen in the present moment while trying to focus. Nothing more and nothing less. The book depicts these "distractions" as joyfully simple occurrences and that making ourselves angry in reaction to them is really optional. Instead the wise bee helps Charlie to shift her mindful awareness to each "distraction" one at a time so that she can release the space they occupy in her mind. It's wonderfully insightful, helpful, simple and profound.

The war tore thousands of families apart. These are the years-long battles I fought to bring the shattered pieces of mine back together again.It is hard enough to have a decent life when your country slips so easily into war, harder still when your husband is snatched off the street to fight in it. But the worst day of my life, the day my world fell utterly to pieces, was the day I received the heartbreaking news that my eldest daughter suffered from a terrifying medical condition. I soon learned that lifesaving treatment was available only outside the country, but I was blocked from seeking it by a heartless bureaucracy and an increasingly oppressive regime. I was left with an agonizing decision:Do I stay and jeopardize the life of one child, or save her by fleeing my beloved homeland, leaving my husband and second child behind. . . possibly forever?Relentless is the powerful and inspiring memoir of an Eritrean woman who defied Africa's most corrupt and murderous regime, and became an American immigrant success story. There is a proverb in my native Tigrinya language, both warning and admonishment. It goes like this: "Haki tseraba mot keraba." It means, if you speak the truth, you will gather many enemies.The Dreams of Freedom stories:The year is 1991, and a bloody thirty-year war with Ethiopia has just ended, earning Eritrea its first taste of freedom in over a century. But peace is a delicate flower easily trampled. Soon, the small Horn-of-Africa nation finds itself in the grip of a despotic madman. In the midst of exploding violence, a family torn apart by circumstance will risk everything to save themselves and their children from a life of oppression, all on the slim promise of a future as bright as the one they had imagined for themselves.One shattered family, two powerful accounts of love, heartbreak, and determination deep inside one of the world's most isolated and ruthless regimes. ~ Relentless - An Immigrant Story by Wudasi Nayzgi and Kenneth James Howe ~ I Will Not Grow Downward - Memoir Of An Eritrean Refugee by Yikealo Neab and Kenneth James HoweI WILL NOT GROW DOWNWARD - MEMOIR OF AN ERITREAN REFUGEE ONE MAN'S LONG AND PERILOUS FLIGHT FROM AFRICA'S HERMIT KINGDOMA century of bloody oppression never broke the spirit of the Eritrean people.
