When Religion Hurts is a story about the potentially inhibitive effects of early childhood religious indoctrination. While the story itself is fiction, many of the events are based on the real-life experiences of the author and others who grew up as Jehovah's Witnesses. These real-life experiences are expressed through the personal and professional struggles of the main character in her unconscious and then conscious fight to break free from the psychological chains of religion. Like many who have experienced the heavy weight of religious control and manipulation, she believes she has to choose between her profession and her God. A person's chosen profession can be an expression of who he or she is. Denying oneself of a beloved vocation may actually be denial of who you are. Mailin is forced to grapple with this and many other issues as she strives to find her spiritual independence. Though the story focuses on the Jehovah's Witness organization, many of the truths uncovered can and should be applied to any religious system where the rules and rituals take authority over the individual, or personal relationship one should have with his or her Creator.13

Sol's lot in life was bitter. He was the littlest wolf in a pack that only cared about the strong, the butt of every joke, the plaything of his cruel packmates. What if one day, they decided to kill him, just for the fun of it? Rather than wait around to find out, Sol ran. He was less than a winter old. He ran and ran and ran until he fainted, and while he slept, another pack happened across his scent and discovered him there.They were not like his old pack. They welcomed him, although he was a stranger, they showed him hospitality, though he had nothing to offer them in return. Their leader, Hawthorn, treated Sol like one of their own. At first, Sol thought it must be some sort of trick, but it was true.And so Sol forswore his old pack and their ways in his heart and swore loyalty instead to Hawthorn and to his pack. Together, they ventured forth on a quest to reclaim their ancestral home: Rosethorn Mountain. Easier said than done.A terrible threat hounded Sol at every turn: Shaskar, leader of Sol's old pack. Strong as an ox, crafty as a snake, and as merciless as chance, he was Hawthorn's sworn friend...and sworn enemy. Shaskar intended to slaughter the Rosethorn pack in the name of his late father, though it grieved him to kill his old friend. Many ordeals lay in wait for Sol and his pack, lest they reach their beloved home...

In Trunk Junk, Marbles, and Lace, the third and final book of the BnB Biddies series, we continue the adventures of our friends through their process of retirement, relocation, and future plans. All but one of our ladies have found true love for the second time (except Babs, who is happy in her first and only marriage), and all have enjoyed their BnB experiences. This book leads us into a community-based yard sale and the philanthropic nature of the women and their men and follows the active but admittedly aging group into their redirection of interests. The activities abound and the retirement process is that many of our senior citizens go through themselves--and a joyful one at that.Our characters remain Lil (now married to Bill), Ditty (now married to Gregory), Milly, Izzy (now married to Jack), and Babs (remaining married to Gerald). Enjoy!

This all started on October 8, 2010. I'm on my way to work when this fifty-one-year-old with a learner's permit lost control of his car and decided to slam on his brakes; oops! He hits the gas instead, and he puts me into a spin. I end up crashing into the wall, next hospital, then therapy, finding out the tumor in my brain, removing the tumor, then a stroke. I wake up in hospital; wow, what a dream, but it seems so real.Then I started realizing it was real, and I was still getting messages from the other side. And at any time, I get this feeling in my chest, and I make sure I'm seated and secure because I'm about to go on a journey. I will see, hear, and feel everything that is happening on this journey. I have felt the death of countless spirits that I've met, but not all. Some just give me a message for loved ones that they left behind. They will see in this book and only know if the message is for them. This is my first book, but I continue seeing what I see; who knows what's next?

Equipped with an experimental faster-than-light drive, a United Systems cruiser is converted and recommissioned as the exploratory vessel New Horizon. During its first jump, something goes terribly wrong, damaging the ship and hurtling it thousands of light-years from its destination. With the FTL drive destroyed, the handpicked crew's only option is to settle in a nearby star system. Fortunately, a habitable planet exists in the system, populated by creatures that are strikingly similar to those of Earth's past. Internal politics, along with a series of accidents, plagues the fledgling colony while they struggle to gain a foothold and discover the secrets of the planet. The prospects become grim when the dominant rulers of the world arrive to dispute the New Horizon crew's precarious claim.

Andrew thought his life couldn't get any better but soon found himself wondering if it could get any worse. After all the struggles of his trainee years, he managed to debut with his friends. Everything was perfect until he was asked to join IBU, who were creating a team of undercover agents to start a search operation on the Finity Bros, the greatest mafia of all time. As time passed by, he realized that this wasn't what he was hoping for. He didn't expect to be meeting his old enemy. And here began the rivalry, a rivalry that destroyed him and his loved ones, a rivalry that almost took his life, a rivalry that was once a friendship. "Sometimes the people that are the closest to you could be your biggest enemies," he said. As he thought things were starting to get better, the lighting struck harder than ever."In a mood to delete everything, go missing for a month, get my life back together, and come back."

My Uncle CalebI was just five or six years old. The last memory I have of him at our house was the only time I remember him with two legs. After that, we got news he had been shot by a man he thought was a friend. Shot at close range through his knee and half of his left thigh. Gangrene set in and took a long time to heal. He was in the hospital for quite some time. Dad brought him to our home with one leg and a crutch. He had to carry him across the high river to keep his cast and crutch dry. For the next few years we kids, who were older, helped take care of him. We would take the train to stay with him and Grandma for two or three weeks at a time. We would work the fields and river banks. Uncle couldn't get a job, so he started his own business making fishnets to sell to neighbors and keep himself busy. He would set traps in the winter to capture animals for skins and sell them to a Louisville fur company. Sometimes I would go to the woods with him. Those woods were full of all kinds of fur creatures. Uncle would tell me how he owned land up on the mountain, and one day he was going to cut trees from his property and have a houseboat made from the wood.Many years passed. I lived in Ohio and would take trips to visit my hometown when I could. I had heard Uncle Caleb had built his houseboat, so on one trip, I ventured to find Uncle Caleb's houseboat nestled under the river bridge. Boy, was he surprised when I knocked on his door. We had a wonderful visit--my last one. Later I went to his funeral on the mountain, where the trees that made his home were cut from. I am so glad I got that unplanned wonderful visit.

The purpose of the mind is to create self. The purpose of the renewed mind is to create self in the image and likeness of God in both form and function.The mind is not in the brain.The mind is born in darkness. It has to learn everything.The mind/spirit is a mirror image of the body/brain. A mind-body marriage.The mind answers the brain's what, when, and where questions with the how, who, and most importantly, why answers.The mind is a prosecutorial tool, always seeking after the truth.The mind must have a reason for the behavior of the body.Trust is the movement of faith.Revelation is experiential knowledge imprinted within our being.

Why civic virtue matters to America.America is at a crossroad. Current public opinion surveys report that Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track, and they are broadly pessimistic about the future.

What is happening to our American values and virtues?Our American Founders believed that the government cannot secure the rights of individuals without a necessary moral foundation, and they were praised as examples of virtue. What were the virtues and values that were so important to the American Founders, and are they relevant today?Focusing on the lives of these early leaders will reemphasize the importance of these virtues, and the power of their examples will teach us lessons that we can apply to the challenges we are facing today as we strive to attain the high ground.

Riding on a train on the way to a friend's wedding, magic struck for author AE Lee: inspired by the upcoming celebration, she wrote her first poem, The Dragonfly. Already an author following the publication of her memoir, One of the Lucky Ones, she had yet to delve into the world of poetry, but after the wedding, the poems kept coming, and she took it upon herself to write sixty poems in sixty days. A Collection of Poems is a compilation of those poems.A Collection of Poems is divided into four sections: Seeking Solace, Seeking Gratitude, Seeking Inspiration, and Seeking Love. The poems in each cover topics large (motherhood, survival) and small (butterflies, willow trees), but all guide readers to hope, resilience, and peace--and perhaps a glass or two of champagne.Lee has experienced plenty of turmoil in her life, but she has never lost sight of the beauty that remains, even in the midst of chaos. A Collection of Poems shines a spotlight on that beauty and the lessons that can be learned by those with open hearts.

Only cats know what it's like to be a cat--each of us with our own personality. A cat's life can be complicated and sometimes even dangerous. In cat society, dogs and wild critters are not the only dangers we fear. There is another that is more treacherous than any animal, and that is human beings. Humans tend to be either our friends or our mortal enemies. We can become a much-loved house cat or be part of a one-way ride out of town to be dumped on the side of the road. Our fate lies with luck and the ability to survive. Thank goodness for nine lives. Fortunately, we have human friends who really do care for all cats. The Lady is one of those humans who would do almost anything to assist a cat in need. Those cats that live with the Lady are the cream of the crop. By telling their stories, as only a cat can, will the true meaning of a cat's life be discovered?Every story needs a hero. Cat stories are no different. There is one of the Lady's cats that is much loved by all the neighborhood cats. When there is any trouble that involves the neighborhood cat population, you will find this thick-furred brown tomcat always in the thick of things. Although not a superhero, he uses his nine lives well.

Before the first day of the war, Gabriel was a simple crop duster with a growing crop-dusting company. That all changed the day a war with creatures not of this world came to his doorstep. The day Gabriel was confronted by the fact that humans were not alone in the universe, he was also confronted by the fact that the United Nations knew of another Earthlike planet called Azora. He discovered that people could settle on this planet and live successfully. Meanwhile, his former wild flame, Jackie, came gliding back into his life. Jackie, one of the first fighter pilots under the command of the United States Space Force and the one that got away, had trained for warfare among the stars. She never thought it would be against an alien race or that she was expected to leave planet Earth behind. With the battles to come and the trials of protecting a new colony on Azora, Jackie and Gabriel also found themselves falling back into passionate love. It was their inevitably combined destiny that they faced a world of new realities together, including escaping with their lives intact and finding peace during a time of such pain and suffering.

After Brother and Sister Bunny fall asleep on the night before Easter, they are awakened by the sounds of some sort of party taking place in the meadow above. When they sneak out of their burrow to investigate, they discover it's a gathering of rabbits, bunnies, and hares; and they are able to see and make the acquaintance of a number of familiar characters including Bugs Bunny, Peter Rabbit, Thumper from Bambi, and the Velveteen Rabbit. They even see the Easter Bunny.

The Remembering is a firsthand, first-person account of an attempted demonic possession.Yes, I know how it sounds, but I can assure you the events described in my book not only happened, but they happened to me. I was personally attacked by something truly evil and disgusting, and it left me spiritually and emotionally devastated. My memory of the attack was shattered, and the process of reassembling those pieces nearly destroyed me, both physically and spiritually. I didn't know pain on that level even existed.This book started out as my journal and was never meant to be published. It was my lifeline, my tether to reality. Putting the events and the horrifying aftermath of reassembling my shattered memory down into words became an intense form of therapy. Getting it down on paper became a mission of sorts as I found more and more solace in the act of exorcising those terrible feelings via my writing.However, as I wrote out the feelings and emotions and began a quest for answers that would lead me to some very unexpected people and places, I found that the religious convictions I had held all my life suddenly twisted into some unrecognizable form.In this book, I try to express what it felt like to be physically and spiritually touched by something unspeakably evil. How it was to endure the thought that my soul had been stained by my encounter. That somehow my soul was now tainted and my immortal future drawn into serious question.But I survived to tell the tale and to grow in ways I'm still discovering. I'm here to share my story of the demon that tried to take my soul and the Angels that came to my rescue. Angels that caught me as I fell and lifted me up and held me steady until I could stand on my own.Warning:Adult Content. Reader Discretion Advised.

Humans inherently seek control, and this book demonstrates how the leadership in the future will resort to science in order to achieve an absolute power. All those control methods are in simple terms explained in the text. Not only the leadership but also the scientists must shoulder the guilt. The leadership justifies its action by claiming that humans have misunderstood and therefore indiscriminately abused their freedom, fomenting irreconcilable conflicts. In the world of 2252, family as a manifestation of free will is forbidden. Only genetically selected and modified individuals are used for reproduction. A Medulla control (Medcon), a Vibrotector (a nano transducer at the base of the skull) and an Emotector, positioned at the mamilothalamic tract, are at birth implanted into newborn brains, enabling the Central Computer to constantly monitor all citizens' locations, their speech, and their emotional state. Medcon can also inflict three intensities of reprimand (pain, seizures, and death). Eventually, the scientists, too, fall victim. They organize the doomed Eurasus Revolution. Ultimately, only several determined people are left whose human spirit is never permitted to fail them. In contrast to other dystopian literature, this book is based only on applied science and is not imaginary.

Building friendships is sometimes tough and hard to figure out. Let Baxter and Fridley (two energetic cats) help you understand how cats and humans can build new friendships. Interaction is the key for learning. You'll find interactive pages throughout the story!
