"A wonderful exploration of human and social behavior. By brilliantly setting her stories in an imaginary place inhabited by unusual people, Vera Nova provides readers with an endless stream of provocative insights about the potential and limitations of the human psyche. A remarkable and revealing piece of work." RONALD COMER Princeton University. From the passionate book-lover: Take a vacation and leave the mad world for the delightfully funny wonder-world, "The Noble Society Of Bullford"! Enjoy and learn from its super-playful, fascinating wisdom. This is an absolute Classic." Glenn O. "So you see, the more money we have, the more nothing we have - except promises. We give money to someone when we cannot immediately offer them something real and valuable. It admits the unfortunate situation that we do not have things or work to offer them at the moment," explained Mr. Thoughtmill. "So since we are indeed running out of money, we must be doing very well," concluded Lady Fluffystone. Our first reaction to exchanges like this one in the mythical society of Bullford might be to decide that its citizens are eccentric. But it is part of the magic of the place that as we consider their reasoning further, we may decide the Bullfordians are perfectly sane and we are the eccentric ones. Escape the "real" world and rejuvenate yourself with a vacation to Bullford and its sweet, ethical, fun and funny inhabitants. Mr. NoWhitenose (the goat), Lady Pepperpie, Mr. Little Balloon, and the Overcrossworld Messenger wait within to soothe, amuse, and perhaps enlighten. Those four tales achieve a rare balance. They portray a truly kinder, gentler place in a way that is not cloying but rather has an intellectual edge. Most importantly, these "unorthodox fairy tales from another dimension" have a quality characteristic of the best literature: they shimmer. You will get something different from them upon each new reading. You are cordially invited to visit
Miller says a number of years ago he asked himself the question, what would be less problematic: to take on the mainstream ideology, or to take on gravity? He decided to take on gravity. Oddly enough, his first draft was on the back of a pizza box. "We don''t understand the true cause of gravity," says Miller. "For all we know, it may be hidden in plain sight." Taking on Gravity: a Guide for Practical Gravitation provides a fresh new approach for the cause of gravity. This in-depth study, supported by equations, examples, and illustrations, is a must-read for anyone who seeks an alternative view of the pervasive force. Questions like "What is gravity?" and "What causes it?" will finally make sense. Even if you are pro-Newton or pro-Einstein, you will likely find this book a true source of inspiration. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Miller prefers to think of himself as an accomplished physicist, writer, and inventor. A Christian man, born and raised in upstate New York. Miller says, he left the Big Apple to join the Navy. He misses working as a woodworker, and spends much of his time working on small projects. Miller is now retired near the Black Mountains, in Arizona, where he continues to pursue new ideas in astrophysics. There''s nothing that can''t be accomplished with hard work, determination, and perseverance. Miller says, it brothers him that much of the scientific community, smugly removes God from everything. Today, the idea that God made the Universe, is received with stern ridicule, and disapproving chuckles. Intelligent design is a quaint thought at best, after all, we understand everything after the Big Bang. Miller says, even though he may be labeled intellectually pathetic by some cosmologists, he strongly opposes any model that discredits the written Word of God.
In an age where technology can solve so many problems, the human element is still needed, physically and mentally, when dealing with the end of life.

This story shows the deep bond between a mother and daughter as they struggle to understand the daily events as they unfold and the brief moments of clarity that serve as a haunting reminder of 'what was' and 'what can never be again'.

Although Qin Na techniques are taught in all styles of Chinese Gong Fu, few people know that Qin Na is also a complete system of self-defense and self-cultivation. The art of Qi Na includes:¿ Developmental Nei Gong and Basic Training¿ Qin (Capturing) techniques, which separate the tendons and dislocate bones by hooking and locking¿ Na (Seizing) techniques, in which one seizes and grasps acu-points, meridians, body cavities, and blood vessels¿ Striking, Seizing and Kicking Vital Points¿ Counter Qin Na¿ Throwing Techniques¿ Defenses against Weapons¿ Weapons and Forms Practice For centuries, Qin Na was a secret family system, only parts of which were taught to outsiders. After teaching this deadly and effective art to the police, military personnel, and elite bodyguards for more than 40 years, Master Zhao breaks with tradition and openly reveals the real secrets of Qin Na to the general public, including the key theories and foundational training methods that were in the past taught to only one or two disciples in each generation. These secrets are contained in the Nine Heaven Secret Text. The Nine Heaven Text is an extraordinary contribution to the art of Qin Na and the internal Chinese martial arts. In a series of coded poems, the text presents the complete theoretical basis of both Qin Na and the internal martial arts, in minute and precise detail: 1. Heart Poem2. General Poem3. Wu Ji Poem 4.

Different circumstances surround their losses, but the result is the same: a very real fear of risking their hearts and lives with another person. Can Michael and Angela embrace a future together? It doesn't look promising unless they can deal with their past losses, mend broken promises, and let the healing process begin.
"Christian libraries abound with works on Tithing, but they all have one thing in common, they fail to rightly divide the Word of truth. The Inevitable Error of Christianity is a unique commentary on tithing and other Old Testament teachings, which emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between Law and Grace. Throughout the work, Enoch Bonsu, highlights Paul's apostleship and message among the Gentiles. He effectively points out that in Paul's epistles alone we have the commands of Christ for the Church today. This is a profitable study for those who desire to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Paul M. Sadler President Berean Bible Society
