Now the Braxtons are out of the way, and Mac and Ivy have made the Big Decision. They're getting married! The plans are made, the date is set. A church wedding, of course, complete with heirloom wedding gown and Ivy's old friend, Magnolia, walking her down the aisle, and a buffalo barbecue afterward. Except there are the problems of a dead body, a big pile of money, and a killer who is cheerfully willing to bring their plans to a deadly halt."--Publisher's description.

Trips require a couple of things. First, you have to possess a body. There is no compromise on this. Secondly, trips require some form of transportation, and demand that you go by air, water, or ground. And, unless you are walking, you're surrounded by a human-made contraption that limits your space as you move to your destination. A Mind Trip, however, is completely different. With a mind trip, you are limited only by your imagination. Wait...shame on us for using the word "limited." We know better than that! A mind trip is limitless and borderless. Infinite doesn't begin to describe it. It astonishes the human mind and ignores the laws of physics. In fact, it ignores every other law ever created, or ever will be created. Luckily, you don't have to rely on our pitiful attempts at describing a mind trip. The stories in this anthology will show you exactly what a mind trip is-and how easy it is to take one. All you have to do is read the first word, and you're off.Bon voyage!

Suite au succès des aventures de Harry Potter, j'ai voulu vérifier une rumeur qui court depuis la publication du premier tome Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers. Il semblerait que les parents Potter, tués par un puissant mage noir lorsque leur fils Harry n'avait qu'un an, seraient devenus sorciers après un séjour de dix-huit semaines dans un village en Afrique occidentale, réputé pour son école de sorcellerie. J'ai fait ma valise et je suis parti pour retrouver ce village sans lequel l'histoire de Harry Potter n'aurait probablement jamais existé ... Plusieurs années plus tard, je reçois, surpris, le témoignage d'un jeune que j'avais rencontré dans un village où personne n'a jamais entendu parler de Harry Potter; un village où des existants immatériels et des sorciers insaisissables hantent les esprits et torturent la vie des habitants, surtout la nuit. Une réalité qui dépasse la fiction, et explique pourquoi ces africains ne s'intéressent pas aux histoires de sorcellerie et de magie racontées dans des livres pour distraire les esprits en quête de frissons exotiques. ...Dans mon village, lorsque s'éteignent les lumières du soleil, nous avons tous peur qu'il nous arrive un malheur. Oui, nous avons peur la nuit. Surtout quand la lune est morte et l'obscurité est épaisse sur nos maisons. Nous avons peur parce qu'il nous arrive souvent d'apercevoir des silhouettes monstrueuses, de voir des formes étranges bouger dans le noir, d'entendre des bruits terrifiants venant de l'inconnu. Et nous n'aimons pas sortir quand les ténèbres masquent les aspects, dénaturent les mouvements et brouillent la raison. Un être malfaisant caché dans l'ombre pourrait nous regarder à notre insu, et nous aurions des frissons, nous aurions de la fièvre... Je vais d'abord vous raconter ce qui s'est passé chez nous cette nuit où la peur nous a fait trembler pendant des heures. Et vous comprendrez pourquoi, quand la lune est morte et l'obscurité est épaisse à couper au couteau, tous les enfants restent cloîtrer à la maison et les adultes murmurent quelques prières avant de mettre le nez dehors...

America's First Great Eclipse takes readers on a thrilling historical journey, revealing that nineteenth-century Americans were just as excited about a total solar eclipse as we are today ... and, like us, were willing to travel thousands of miles to see it.The 'Great American Eclipse' of 2017 and the upcoming 'Great North American Eclipse' of 2024 were not the first eclipses to deserve such titles. In the summer of 1878, when the American West was still wild, hundreds of astronomers and thousands of tourists traveled by train to Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas to witness America's first 'Great Eclipse.'America's First Great Eclipse tells the story of a country, and its scientists, on the brink of a new era. Near the end of the nineteenth century, when the United States was barely a hundred years old, American astronomers were taking the lead in a science that Europeans had dominated for centuries. Scientists like Samuel Langley, Henry Draper, Maria Mitchell, and even the inventor Thomas Edison, were putting America at the forefront of what was being called the "new astronomy."On July 29, 1878, having braved treacherous storms, debilitating altitude sickness, and the threat of Indian attacks, they joined thousands of East-coast tourists and Western pioneers as they spread out across the Great Plains and climbed to the top of 14,000-foot Pikes Peak, all to glimpse one of nature's grandest spectacles: a total solar eclipse. It was the first time in history so many astronomers observed together from higher elevations. The Rocky Mountain eclipse of 1878 was not only a turning point in American science, but it was also the beginning of high-altitude astronomy, without which our current understanding of the Universe would be impossible.22 illustrations.

Elijah heard a still small voice that changed the direction of his life... Or did he? What if I could show you a deeper experience? What if I told you that it was not the still small voice that changed Elijah's life, but, what the Bible refers to as "a voice". It was that "voice" that allowed him to come through one of the darkest hours in his life. In fact, he goes from uncertainty to certainty... and it started with him hearing clearly what God was saying. That is what this book is about. It is about going from hearing a barely discernable voice to hearing a clear voice. It is about going from "I think God is saying..." to "I know God is saying...". So join me in recounting the events of 1 Kings 19 as we uncover what really happened on that day. Once you know what really happened and what is really available to you, you will find a renewed sense of faith, an insatiable new inspiration, and a new path to a deeper relationship with God. This book is not just a recount of this incredible story. It is also a revelation of what causes us to vacillate in our hearing experience. You will come away from this book knowing how to hear God clearly and what it means when you don't.
