A Tigress in the Chapel, a novel about power of speaking out in exposing those people in positions of power who sexually abuse children. Set in a seemingly charity-minded school whose administers not only rape the students but also allow donors to the school to do so. A Tigress in the Chapel focuses on two girls, Gigi and Zara, who become determined to put an end to this practice by exposing it and its perpetrators for all the world to see. With rousing soliloquies and gripping dramatic tension, the novel serves as a call to action to put a stop to child sexual abuse and human trafficking for purposes of sexual abuse.

Mankind has, however, ensured the survival of the species by building homes everywhere, some of which are hidden.The Zeus System-encompassing the Twin Worlds of Diana and Apollo, a binary planet system orbiting Zeus of the Gemini cluster-is beyond Drago Leonis, 863 light-years from Earth.

Having spent two thousand years clawing back from the hunter-gatherer stage they were bombed into, by the confederation, the Twin Worlders were finally back at the level of a late twenty-first-century civilization. It was a hard-fought struggle and was only possible because of the only significant technology that survived the initial onslaught-Latona, the Oracle.An artificial intelligence is inhabiting a facility buried deep under Mount Parnassus on Diana; and as a part of her systems, she includes the full Terran Encyclopedia, initially created by the Second Terran Republic.Now, the confederation has found them again, but memories are short, records are fragile, and two thousand years is a long time.

Latona must reacquire star-faring technology while keeping her secrets hidden. She must prepare her charges for the interstellar war that she knows will come while living under the very nose of the confederation and before the confederation discovers the secrets of the Twin Worlds.

This book highlights certain basic rules in life; which if you do not follow, will always end you up on the losing end. You will have to use your common sense and imagination to adapt what I teach to suit yourself; so that you are never in a position whereby you will be attacked, used and abused. Most women are attacked because they either leave their guard open or are unaware of the potential dangers; and this allows the attacker to succeed. A man attacking a woman goes against a fundamental rule laid down by nature; which says that because a female is a potential child-bearer, she is vital to the survival of the human race and therefore needs to be protected, respected and cherished. This rule is frequently abused because the modern woman is now much more than a child-bearer; and has become every much as competitive as the modern man. It is this conflict between the sexes that is the main cause of women not being treated with the respect they deserve.
The purpose of this book will not give you all the answers you are looking for. However, I share my story in order to show you that there is hope even in the darkest of moments. In this book I share my struggles with mental health, exams, university and how I got through the challenges that made me who I am today. I hope when you finish reading it you can take away something meaningful and learn to fall in love with life again just like I did.

Pieter Scheurwater realized at a young age he was different than the other boys in his Dutch community. In the theologically strict Dutch home and church, however, he also knew he could not divulge the ways in which he did not belong. Though he escaped the expectations of his religious upbringing, he unreservedly and unconditionally dedicated his life to God. Traveling to Australasia as a young man, he still felt obligated to keep his true nature hidden. Despite a career with a mission organization, marriage and childrearing, he finally realized while he may have hidden his true self from others, he could no longer maintain the lie. In his memoir, Scheurwater details his journey to the freedom he experiences when the pretense is stripped away. His personal pilgrimage is a testimony of God's unconditional love and faithfulness.
They say what happens in heaven also happens on earth, and vice-versa, and so on earth as it is in heaven and so forth, for as much as we often like to paraphrase in saying, that such above is also such below, and so below is also such above, as do we often recognise along with real worldly events, that as we try to distinguish whether it is life that imitates art, or indeed, whether it is art that imitates life that as much as we have learnt to mimicry, or to interpret our portrayal of the world as we know it and experience it, then surely we must acknowledge that life is not forever and yet still we believe that it shall become so. As it is only by God's grace that we have forever held this humble belief in our minds even though it may have dampened the amusement of our senses, and yet still it has also allowed us to transcend towards the seeking such knowledge, if only to acquire the wisdom in becoming all knowing. For as much we may search and seek out for a heaven upon the earth still we often look towards the sky, along with the faith and the hope that we may come to discover such a place of awesome reverence and wonder, which has always been attributed with many a name and many a title, some of which I have hastened to mention here i.e. Paradise, Nirvana Valhalla Elysium and Tiandao, amongst with many more, and yet still we believe this heaven to be the spiritual abode and resting place of our heavenly souls. As H.O.M.E - (Heaven Offers Many Examples) and yet still I can only contend to think and to believe that such a heavenly realm, which has always found itself to be such a prominent and worthy place within our hearts, must also endeavour to be one that we are inspired to compose and to write about, and must also be one that we are ready to carve and to paint about, and must also be one that we ready to build and to strive about if only to nurture as we plant and as we grow upon reflection, whilst striving towards this heaven ideal.
