Victim, survivor, and warrior in that order. This is her story. The story of how she was made to be a victim. Over time, she understood that she is a survivor then worked hard to become a warrior. Domestic violence, abuse, rape, or any tragic event is so common that it is almost as if we have normalized it as simply a part of life. She was a whole person once, but every time something happened, it took a piece of her that she will never get back, so now, she stands before you a broken person but a broken person who is determined to make a change, help, or at least make some kinda impact. This book is dedicated to all the victims and to all the survivors. May we all one day be warriors. You are not alone.

Clarity or specifically the ology of game, until this point, has been, to say the least, vague and ambiguous. This writing clarifies the principle of game. In addition, it also puts the ology behind it. The introduction of truly unique character concepts, defense mechanisms and counter mechanisms, thought processes, and definitive points of great wisdom are just pages away. The contents contained within these volumes are so dynamic that the writers will hopefully inspire a new subgenre entitled nonfiction (perspectival, influential observations). And on that, please believe that the writers' lives are more enriched with the benefit of game.

Each short story is based on actual events in Sunny's life with me. She wandered up to my home on a sunny Sunday in December of 2021; my little dog, Peebs Jubilee, actually found her. Although it would have been impossible for them to know each other, they appeared to be friends immediately. The first moment I looked into Sunny's eyes, I knew she was a very special little kitten. She was very small and thin, and I knew she needed a home. My youngest daughter, Taylor (TayTay), and her boyfriend, Nick, have cats. I knew they would have food and any supplies I would need. They came to Sunny's rescue with food, kitty supplies, toys, and a cat castle. Sunny is full of life. She is healthy and happy and very much loved. I have attempted to write each story from Sunny's point of view, hoping to capture the fun-loving, free spirit that she is. I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. I look forward to sharing additional stories of Sunny's adventures with everyone, and I am sure that Sunny is looking forward to creating the adventures. Sunny's stories are written for everyone who ever loved a pet, everyone who ever wanted a pet, and anyone who wants to know what life is like with a pet.Sunny has dedicated this book to a wonderful, loving, and very special little dog Peebs Jubilee and everyone who has ever loved a pet.

What would you say if the Holy Quran turned out to contain components consistent with Zionism? What if the Quran in its very philological content blesses and encourages the Jews to live in the land of Israel? What if billions of Muslims were to be made aware of the clearly "pro-Zionist" verses in the Quran and were to alter their worldview to welcome the Jews in their ancestral homeland? One of them is Sura Al-Ma'ida 5:21, which has a striking significance as a powerful command from Allah, as interpreted by the renowned Muslim exegetes, including Al-Tabari. On the other hand, the examining of the status of al-Aqsa Mosque being the third-holiest site in the Muslim world, as well as the status of the city of Jerusalem from Muslims' and Jews' viewpoint, would reveal fully new perspectives. Ever since 1937, there have been multiple attempts to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict to no avail. The hidden religious aspect of the conflict has been generally neglected by the parties. Accordingly, the Muslim world is often subjected to provocation by zealous clerics and politicians who implement anti-Jewish propaganda, including the misinterpretation of the Quranic verses. This book will tackle on the very sensitive topics alluded above and should serve as an eye-opener for Muslim politicians, traditional clerics, Muslims in general and the interested Westerners.. The welldocumented accuracy and authenticity of the quoted facts render them beyond malicious interpretation.

A catalyst is something or someone that provokes significant change. A trauma is a catalyst. The change--whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or all three--doesn't happen immediately. The change is a journey with side steps and detours along the way. The only hard and fast rule is that you can't go back to who you were before. This is the story of Carrie Rickert's journey of change after such a catalyst. Her life-threatening accident and related complications started her down this path of examining what was, what is, and what could be. Most importantly, though, this is a story of hope, of possibility, of embracing the fight to become something new. This path has been filled with craters and dips, pivots and weird circles, and a lot of it has been completely terrible. If she had an option, she wouldn't go back. She wouldn't trade who she is now and who she is going to become. Join Carrie on this journey of life's ups and downs and let her words, her perspective, and her humor about it all inspire you to be grateful for the catalysts in your life.

It was that very, very cold night in December that would change my life. I was very young, yet even at five years old, I had always dreamed of attending college and receiving my degree. One obstacle stood in my way--poverty. We were dirt poor. I sadly watched constantly my illiterate father drown himself in alcohol. Not once did he ever have that father-to-son talk. Not once did he say to us that he loved or cared for us. Yet, on the other hand, God gave to us our hard-working Christian mother, a woman who was the opposite of our father, a woman who prayed to God every night, praying and showing just how much she truly loved her sons. Every day of my life, I often thought about where my footsteps would lead me. Here I was constantly surrounded by poverty, violence, and racism. Would I end up hanging on some street living in poverty or, worse, dead? That one question that constantly haunted me with every footstep I took was simply, "How would I survive in this world without my mother? How could I live without you?"

Mama always says not to wake the baby, but that is harder than it sounds. In my family, everyone is loud all the time. Between my sister's band, my little brother yelling, and the dog barking at the mailman, it is almost impossible for things to stay quiet. Who will be the unlucky person to wake up the new, sleeping baby?

"Things roll downhill, energy dissipates, disorder increases. Things wear out, break, fall apart." Jimmy Doyle describes his life as a mechanic in these terms, but these hard truths better describe the thirty-year story of the Doyle brothers as told in The Sum of My Works. On the eve of the Cuban Missile crisis, the lives of Jimmy and Patrick Doyle are shattered as surely as if the button had been pushed. Together and apart, the brothers experience the fear and uncertainty of intergenerational trauma, the justice system, incarceration, and the Vietnam War as well as the heady 1960s counterculture, the anti-war movement, exile, wilderness, and survival against overwhelming odds. Through it all, the brothers search for the human connections they've lost, as they struggle against the inexorable forces arrayed against them until they must face yet another personal apocalypse--and betrayal of their brotherhood.

"Will you love her, honor her, and cherish her for as long as you both shall live?" Tommy assented to this question not once, not twice, but three times. And each time, he stood before the same woman!Follow his story as he journeys from the Dead River swamp of South Georgia through the muddy waters of a sin-filled life as a rebellious teen, a disrespectful son, an arrogant US Marine, an unfaithful husband, and an absent father until, in desperation and on realizing his need for more than human help, he cried out to God! You will be inspired as his story unfolds.Just as the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well received a drink of Jesus's living water, changing everything for her, so it was for Tommy Poole. A life of sin being overcome by God's abundant, amazing grace and love and then the incredible joy of experiencing human forgiveness that comes after, which could only be the fruit of the Savior's example, all lead to a life of service in ministry for his Redeemer! Tommy journals how the voyage from this life's dead river to living water is possible for everyone!Comments from Pastor Gary Moyer, VP for Administration/Executive Secretary of the Caroline Conference"If you need encouragement that God is able to turn your life around for the better, you need to read this book. This is one of those easy, compelling reads I found hard to put down. I've known Tommy for years but never knew the whole, amazing story. Wow!"Comments from Thomas T. Hardy, Director and Speaker of the Layman's Guidepost, LLC."What an amazing testimony! Absolutely amazing! I love the river/ water allegory and how it remains consistent throughout the book. The opening scene at the kitchen table is incredibly powerful! It drew me in immediately! Your early years were so intensely challenging with so many distinctive experiences. This story is something a lot of people will not be able to put down once they get started. It is almost like a movie! "Your raw honesty is very earthly and real, making your references to the spiritual concepts more voracious for the consumption of the reader. I love it! The impelling motives you give the reader at the end of most chapters kept me wanting more. Yet the horrors of the alcoholic demon that overshadowed your life gave me great insight about and empathy for your struggle, Pastor! "This is good stuff! Both interesting and spiritually compelling, this book grips the reader from the outset with scenes of gritty, fallen humanity inspired and transformed by the living waters cascading from the throne of God! The reader is invited to relive the journey of a man caught in the throes of the fallen nature, being miraculously lifted up by the hands of Jesus Christ from His cross. "Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of reviewing this book! It has been a personal blessing to me in my faith walk, and I am sure that it will be a blessing to every soul who reads it."

As the saying goes, "Children will be children." But everyone has a choice. This book will encourage kindness on the part of every interaction we, as adults and children, encounter every day.

Hamlet as the "Ill-Made Knight." How many of us have wrestled with the character of Hamlet? Was he insane? Was he feigning insanity? Did his "antic disposition" lead him into insanity? And what about all the contradictions? Contemplative down to his very marrow, yet everything he does on stage is on impulse. A likeable character (witty, a punster, and a rhymer--even his uncle admits of "the great love the general gender bear him"), yet he is responsible for one of the larger "body counts" in any stage production. Theories for his "particular" behavior abound. Trust in Princes takes its cue from T. H. White's Sir Lancelot in Once and Future King, offering up an adolescent Hamlet as an "Ill-Made Knight" of sorts. Herein, Hamlet's desire to be a good king, like his father, runs into a growing low self-image that crumbles all the more as he deals with a problematic, lustful thought-life--an almost double life. As he comes to rely on the good character of all those around him whom he loves, we see building in him tremendous relationships--two loving parents, a sweet Ophelia, a trustworthy Horatio, praiseworthy Laertes (his hero), the affectionate mentorship of Yorick (the king's jester), and the sound tutelage of Marcellus (in this story, the master of the sword). Will these relationships see him through the storms of life, or will he descend into that feared insanity, reeling in disillusionment as he learns the truth: that the biblical injunction, "Put not your trust in Princes," has a double edge to it?

A single woman's journey with her twenty-four points of life, this is the tale of the youngest of four raised by quasi-empty nester parents in the fast-growing suburbs of Chicago. Through several political assassinations, a deadly tornado, and absent siblings by the tender age of ten, Anna quickly grew accustomed to a life of solitude and a developing self-competence. Leading the way as mentors, Anna's three older siblings acted as superb role models even if from a distance. Along with guidance from her aging parents, she learned the importance of a robust education, a healthy work ethic, and being kind to others. Sadly, Anna was never able to conceive children but rather found herself traveling across the country and uncoupling from ex-husbands as the fertile years faded. To stay afloat financially, Anna earned college degrees while working full-time jobs, quenching her thirst for knowledge while cultivating vital skills. She focused on nurturing new and lifelong friendships, building a list of invigorating hobbies, and learning to enjoy her own company, especially as sibling rivalry reared its ugly head. Her twenty-four points of life unmistakably lay the groundwork for solo success for women and men alike.

Empress Isabella feared the burly-bodied, six-legged, narrow-headed creature known as kessra. Her fear of the Planos predator, combined with the late Admiral Harrington's suspicions of the creature's intelligence, made each seek a different path to aid Jennifer and the natives of Planos.Isabella never imagined the transformation of Jennifer's mountain cavern home into a functional pioneering homestead with a few modern technological advantages to enhance their safety would become the focal point of the fearsome creature's rage.She knew Taric was aware the empire had to remain true to the charter's bylaws of noninterference in the natural progression of species evolution. Upon receiving Taric's vid message, she witnessed his emergence as a leader, formally requesting the establishment of political and trade relations between their worlds, instantly providing the empire an opportunity to assist without actively interfering with a trade partner's internal affairs.Leaning back in her desk chair with her eyes closed, imagining Jennifer witnessing the siege of her mountain home amid a rising number of savage, unforgiving predators encroaching into the territory, a frightening vision began to play out in her mind of terrifying enraged beasts rapidly advancing toward Jennifer in a coordinated swarm.Shivering with fright, not wishing to see further into the depths of her imagination, Isabella opened her eyes, fearfully shouting in the privacy of her empty office, "No! No! That's not real!"Yet questioning the imaginative visions within her mind's eye, Isabella sensed a faint nagging presence of premonition, asking her, "Or is it?"Apprehensive of the grim reality facing Planos increased Isabella's anxiety over the survival of vulnerable natives living in the eastern wilderness. However, in this case, Isabella believed any variation of humanoid life in the galaxy has more value than a merciless predator with feeding habits akin to sharks inhabiting Earth's oceans.Isabella had to return to Planos, secretly hoping Merlin, the AI inhabiting the fleet's flagship, Maleficent, could ascertain the true scope of the crisis and provide a course of action without violating the charter's strict bylaws.
