We have enjoyed the freedoms and blessings of our wonderful country, America, for over two centuries. We choose where we work, wherewe live, who we associate with, what we buy and how we worship.We have more physical prosperity than any nation before us. But allis not well; the solid foundation of principles our forefathers builtour nation upon cracks.Values that once were widely held by Americans are being replacedby an ever-changing morality. We draw up battle lines between conservativeand liberal values: between Republican and Democraticparties. We look to leaders for integrity, but we find corruption. Weare confused about our purpose, destination and roles.Somewhere we lost our way.The current fruit is the product of seeds sown long before. Atheismsteals our hope, causing widespread depression. Postmodernismsteals our identity leading to massive confusion over moral issuessuch as abortion, sexuality and gender. Man-made religions steal ouraccess to God leaving us unsure about who He is and how to pleaseHim. Calvinism infects every major Christian denomination andsteals our choice.Christian Nationalism steals our true spiritual citizenship and polarizesour nation without a real means of resolution. Today, we feel theeffects of belief systems established decades and even centuries ago.Americans need Good News.The Bible often refers to the gospel and speaks of the Son of God asJesus Christ. The terms gospel and Christ have somewhat lost their fulleffect through translation. Gospel translated literally means good news;it is an exciting message, full of hope and promise. Christ means theanointed; Jesus is God's anointed; Jesus is the chosen one.That's what the Bible is: God's message of Good News of Jesus, theAnointed

Die Leute fragen oft: 'Was meinte Dr. Montessori mit kosmischer Erziehung?' Susan Mayclin Stephenson hat mir nun eine einfache, aber fundierte Möglichkeit gegeben, diese Frage zu beantworten. Sie tut dies schon allein durch den Aufbau des Buchs. In der ersten Hälfte geht es um zentrale Aspekte der kindlichen Entwicklung in den verschiedenen Altersgruppen: Geburt bis 3, 3 bis 6 und 6 bis 12+ Jahre. Ich las weiter und fand meine Antwort auf "Kosmische Erziehung" für jede dieser Altersstufen. Die kosmische Erziehung ist ganz allgemein eine Hilfe dabei, dass Kinder einen Ort für sich selbst finden, an dem sie sich entwickeln und gleichzeitig die Welt zu einem besseren Ort machen können. Die Autorin geht sehr konkret auf die Beiträge jeder dieser Altersgruppen ein. Sie bietet eine Anleitung, vom Baby bis zum Jugendlichen Wege zu fördern, gute Beiträge für eine bessere Welt zu leisten. Eltern und Pädagogen würden von diesem Buch ebenso profitieren wie ich. -Rita Schaefer Zener PhD, AMI Vorschullehrer-Ausbilderin-->

He married me to destroy me, and he did an outstanding job. He took my innocence and my virtue. I gave him my love and my hate. And just when I think there's nothing else to give, I realize how wrong I am. What Angelo wants most is the promise of life I carry inside my body.

Evie My misguided heart is going to cost me my business. Once upon a time, I fell for the wrong man, and realized too late he was screwing my wallet rather than me. He's gone and I'm done with giving anyone my heart. But when my best guy friend gets into a chest thumping contest with a tattooed hottie, and they want me to be the tie-breaking vote about which of them is bigger and better... How's a girl supposed to say no to that? Especially when they're each promising an exciting 'climax' for me to judge?

Second, it turns out Sawyer is a big city billionaire here to buy me out of my small town family hardware store. Worse, they're both keeping things from me. The kind of things people in a small town love to gossip about. The kind of things that wreck hearts. It's a good thing I know better than to give mine away again, right?

This is one woman's story on the universal quest for belonging, and the power of human resilience in finding meaning on the journey. This is a story of courage, self-discovery, and meaning-making. In these pages, readers will find a reflection of their own journey, as they navigate the delicate tension of multiple truths coexisting and finding themselves in between all the spaces to which they belong.Roselle's migration to Canada as a young adolescent would yield a profound bifurcation of her very identity: too Indian for the new place, and over time, too Canadian to be fully Indian again. By the time she is 23, she yearns to belong fully to one place, and in vain has attempted to sever her ties to the parts of herself that are rooted in the old country, all the things that make her bad and unbelonged, paradoxically less than and too much. When she is faced with the loss of connection to her beloved Papa - a symbol for the rupture of her connection from her roots - Roselle is compelled to face her grief through a journey of self-discovery and mending.In this odyssey that spans a decade, Roselle (re)connects with her roots, finding meaning and her sense of belonging. This is a story of love and self-reclamation, where each step echoes the resilience of a heartbeat. Through each return to the embrace of her ancestral soil, Roselle uncovers new layers of herself, delicately peeling away the scars of old wounds. She is the bridge between two worlds.As a woman who lives in the space between here and there, then and now, herself and the world, Roselle explores the tension of spaces in which multiple truths can coexist, where histories collide, and generations connect. With bracing honesty and vulnerability reminiscent of Roxane Gay's Hunger and Charlotte Gill's Almost Brown, Roselle explores the life experiences that have shaped who she is in the world. The Ordinary Turned Precious brings readers along on Roselle's journey of emerging, not as a fragmented being torn between two worlds, but as something precious woven with the golden threads of what it means to know who you are, and where you come from: to know where you belong.

I hate Galaxy 6781. HATE it!One last job. The bounty of a lifetime.It wasn't supposed to end with me on a slave planet and my entire crew dead. So, when the chance to escape presented itself, I took it. Had I known more about my fellow escapee, I might have reconsidered.When Grantham, crowned prince of Ditali, tried giving me some schpiel about how the universe has chosen us to be together, as in together 'together', I shot that theory down stat. I mean, I'm not even into males. Except...now he says he's dying. Dying in the sense that because one handsome bounty hunter rejected our so-called 'fating', he's literally wasting away before my eyes.Sad, but what do I care? We're strangers.The debris field we're approaching can kiss my backside, right along with my lack of flight skills because as much as I'm not into males, I'm not ready to die. They'd better throw me a parade when we get to his planet. Galaxy 6781, I really, really, really hate you.An M/M, scifi, romantic comedy

An American engineer finds himself in Arabia in Wesley's WWII novel. Hank Simmons journeys from San Francisco to Dhahran as the Allies are landing in Normandy: they can't win the war without petroleum from a starving desert kingdom. Hank's mission: help the Arabian American Oil Company build its first refinery and run its new marine terminal. An OSS agent helps Hank recruit construction workers in the fallen capital of Italian East Africa and pay their families in provinces under Nazi control. But living conditions in the segregated encampments at Ras Tanura worsen as the fighting in Europe is coming to an end. Hank is caught in an escalating series of conflicts between the Arabs, Italians, and Americans: the objectives of the stakeholders are as merciless as the war itself. A fascinating, multi-faceted novel about a forgotten chapter in the history of the most powerful oil-producing kingdom in the Persian Gulf. Early Praise for Concessions and Betrayals: "The story of the Italians in the Saudi oil patch has long needed to be told. Trapped far from home and forced to live in squalor, they nevertheless were essential to the development of the Saudi oil industry. Even readers who know Aramco's early history will learn a lot from this book's fascinating narrative" -Thomas W. Lippman, author of Crude Oil, Crude Money "A stunning achievement: William Wesley has given us not just a riveting, page-turning novel full of character and color, but also the richest and most complete historical account yet of the fateful birth of the U.S.-Saudi alliance and the post-World War II world petroleum order." Hugh Wilford, author of America's Great Game "A sweeping WWII tale set in a harsh, forbidding, beautiful landscape, William Wesley's account of the collaboration between American oil interests and the nascent Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is nothing less than epic. To build a marine terminal on the Persian Gulf that could refine and export only a few years after the discovery of the greatest oil field on the planet demanded an international team of geologists, drillers, engineers, architects, oil men, laborers, and of course, politicians. This is their story, a story on the grandest scale, exhilarating and surprising at every turn. The innovations needed to surmount the staggering challenge; the cultural clashes and quirks; the cast of many, many thousands speaking different languages; a founding king, a dying president, a young man from California with a gal waiting back home - it's all here - human, heroic, and hugely engrossing." -Lynn Stegner, author of For All the Obvious Reasons "The author's prose is simple but effective...in this exposition-heavy novel that often reads more like a memoir. Even so, the book provides a rare window into the birth of one of the 20th century's most fascinating and impactful industries...a flawed but fascinating novel." -- Kirkus Reviews
