100 years after a Nuclear Holocaust, Henry and Melva Call and three generations of descendants adapt new methods and few materials to survive. Faced with a hostile environment, burning sun, no metals and rote-memory educations, most people are content with the status-quo. Not so Lucretia Harkness, their great-granddaughter. She remembers parts of her past lives and is determined to recreate a better life. The Call's and other families share romance, improbable discoveries, magic, pathos and tragedy as they trudge along 'that miserable road' called life in their lop-sided new Stone Age and semi-agrarian life.

Bless me father, for I have sinned, it's been seven years since my last confession; since then I have sinned through my thoughts, words, deeds and omission and I accuse myself of the following sins: I belong to a fraternity called the Neo-Black Movement of Africa aka Black Axe. I plotted the death of a fellow member so that I can become the head of the fraternity. I arranged with others of my fraternity to rob my friend's parents but in the process the dad was shot dead. I have killed so many I cannot count. I arranged with others to have my sister's friend raped. I find it difficult to believe in the teachings of the church. I don't believe in God anymore...

The Urban Ritualist 2 is the second of four books in the Urban Ritualist series. It''s subtitle "A Journey to Know Thyself" reflects the continuous and cyclical nature of Spirituality and Ritualism, and the necessity of mastering each step in the process of knowing yourself before moving to the next. The process of knowing thyself is an ancient one that was instituted in the teaching of the Kemetic schools that promoted spiritual cultivation and development, known as Mystery Systems. It was a tool to help all of humankind understand that they were not only physical beings interacting in a physical world, but that they were spiritual beings that could interact on a spiritual and physical level, in harmony, to affect a civilized and peaceful existence. The Urban Ritualist 2 continues to prepare the reader for their personal and conscious journey to uncover their purpose in the brave new world that is to come. This new world is not of humankind''s making alone, but is manifesting on the level of universal consciousness where all of our Ancestors, all of the forces of nature, and all living beings in the universe are directing a great transformation towards a civilized (peaceful) world. The process began December 12, 2012, as a shift in vibration that could be experienced on the personal and universal consciousness level. If you ignored the change, don''t worry, it happened. Now that you know it happened, read the Urban Ritualist 2 to uncover how you can align your physical and spiritual self to understand and flow with the vibration. The Urban Ritualist 2 provides step-by-step insight into the world of spiritual and cultural development, and sets the stage for everyone to enter into and play a conscious role in this new world community. We are all asking, where do we go from here; do we go back, forward in a different direction - and if so, what will that direction look like? The Urban Ritualist 2 will help you uncover the answers that already exist in our unive

This author's "Journey of Survival" began in Germany, where he was expelled from school at age 15 because he was Jewish, shattering his dreams of becoming a veterinarian, and where, for the same reason, at age 18 he was incarcerated at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. In 1939 he was fortunate to be able to immigrate into the United States, and in December 1941 he volunteered for military service in the US Army. After graduating from Officer Candidate School in 1943, he took part in the Invasion in Europe in 1944, where he was seriously wounded in combat in 1945. Returning to duty in 1946, he was stationed in Germany until he was reassigned stateside two years later. Having attained the rank of major, he was retired from military service in 1951 because of his combat incurred physical disability. He then began a 35 year career as a poultry farmer, learning to competently cope with many of the challenges, disappointments and successes that are typical of a farm operation. In retirement he remains active, speaking at schools and diverse organizations about the lessons the Holocaust has taught us, lessons which no one should ever forget.

You're enjoying sex, but don't see a spiritual connection. Sex is not just an activity, rather it is God's design for a powerfully, pleasurably, private experience to be enjoyed within marriage. With few resources designed to purposely apply information on the spirituality/sexuality connection, this biblically-based teaching tool attempts to bridge the gap between the simple acquisition of more information and an intentional plan of action regarding that information. It is driven by the revelation of long-past sexual immorality which still held the writer in spiritual bondage. At least twenty years had passed since the writer had confessed and forsaken that lifestyle. However, she had been silent about the pain and shame. She had not acknowledged the connection between her sexual activity and her spirituality. Feeling a disconnect that surfaced more often than she'd like to admit, she asked the Lord to show her heart to her. The response was: "You were a closet prostitute." Questioning the connection of her heart to the request and the response, she reviewed her past sex life, and saw how she had benefited from her sexual involvement especially during her collegiate years when she was well-compensated by what she has come to identify as a sugar daddy. Within a month of this revelation and her agreement with the sinfulness thereof, she was challenged with the idea of sharing the danger of being silent and disregarding the link between spirituality and sexuality. Some eighteen years after the 1996 revelation, the method for sharing (a biblically-based curriculum with accompanying discussion guide) was given. Thus, she does not want anyone to repeat or focus on her story or testimony as she is aggrieved thereby. Both are included in demonstration of God's hearing and answering prayer, and in appreciation for His love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. The major emphasis is on Scripture, which has the greatest potential for encouraging movement beyond disc

Prose that is wry, humorous, eccentric, and sometimes profane. . . Dennis Hopper's poems can be described as outrageous, entertaining, nostalgic, and tragic. Most often based on real events and real people, they represent a slice of life garnered from the author's personal experience and a lifetime of wondering, watching, and listening. Hopper-a husband, father, and veteran-also touches upon the sometimes funny, sometimes sad process of aging in this powerful debut collection. Words Will is another step in one man's journey.

A Holistic Analysis on Immigration and Its Archeological, Sociological, Psychological, Economical and Political Contexts. . . People migrate to the USA from all over the world in search of the "American Dream." For some, this dream translates to a life of freedom, financial progress, or safety from personal, political or religious persecution or war. However, the reality in many cases is better expressed as a nightmare than a dream, and even for those who achieve their goals, the immigration process is always permeated by variable doses of pain, suffering, and loss for the first-generation immigrant. We Are All in This Together brings a unique and distinct new perspective on the issues of immigration today. It focuses on the issues, conflicts, conquests, and losses of immigrants of various origins, taking into consideration their ethnological differences with the American culture. This compassionate, well-formulated book will raise awareness and promote a broader and deeper reflection on the reality of the migratory phenomenon in America and in the world.
