Her style, wit, and honesty give life to the stories and experiences she shares. Reflecting on cultural shame and humiliation, and the way that American women are marginalized as they age, she gives hope and joy to the possibilities ahead for women who wish to remain vital.As a reader, you will see how you trust your intuition more, use your life experience, more boldly speak your mind, use your voice and participate in change rather than resisting it. You begin to sense your own value and have the courage of your convictions. You are no longer apologetic."Trackless Snow" is a companion and guide to support and reinforce the reality of women becoming better, wiser, honored and impactful as they age.ABOUT THE AUTHORWith just a Bachelor of Arts degree, Martha Manning started her Master's and Doctoral studies at age 58. She was awarded her Doctorate in Human Development at age 65. She is dedicated to obliterating the assumption that older women are less attractive, valuable, and meaningful as humans, her goal is to do away with the mantle of invisibility that American culture wraps us in as we age.Much of our unconscious acceptance of the shame of being an aging woman is due to our conditioning and Martha's stories and information helps the reader to become aware of this cultural bias and more sensitive to accepting stereotypes of aging.Through her approach, called "Age Growth" you plant your stake in the ground and say, "Hear me! See me! Work with me! Honor me! We are beautiful and wise."
Downtown Los Angeles is on the mend. An alliance of revolutionary vampires and humans has freed blood slaves, wiped out master vampires that ruled by fear, and is bringing the city back to life. Kaleb Sainvire's goals have been met, but he is miserable. In this third novel of the Julia Poe Vampire Chronicles, Sainvire lures Julia Poe back from her early retirement on Catalina Island to take on vampire threats from San Diego, San Francisco, and even within his own ranks. Still shaken from a shot in the heart a year ago, Poe is not ready to unite Downtown factions or face Sainvire again. However, she has little choice in the matter and must wipe up the mess around her.
Recent archeological and linguistic evidence reveals that the Jews of the New Testament era spoke Hebrew, not Greek as has been taught for so many years. With this revelation, we can conclude that the teachings of the New Testament were first conveyed, either in spoken or written form, in Hebrew, which means that the New Testament must be understood from a Hebraic perspective and not a Greek one. The first step in this process is to translate the Greek words of the New Testament into Hebrew. While translating the Greek words into Hebrew, may sound overwhelming for many, it is in fact, a very simple process that anyone can perform, even without any prior studies in Greek or Hebrew. All that is required is a Strong's Concordance and this book. This book lists the five hundred most frequent Greek words of the New Testament and provides their Hebrew translations and Hebraic definitions, with all Greek and Hebrew words cross-referenced with Strong's numbers.
Is God personal and intimate? Does He really see and hear all? Can anyone see, hear and feel God? In this follow-up to her compelling book "Michael, an Endtime Sign" these questions are answered by Carolyn Smith Phillips. Come take a journey with a six-year-old child that woke up one day at age eight with the gift of dreams, visions, angel visitations, seeing the future events and witnessing them come to pass and discerning spirits, which means she saw light in dark spirits. An eight-year-old child in a rural community in the fifties found herself without a Mom, having to become a mom herself to her little brother and sister, with help from her two heroes. Can you imagine yourself or your child having this much responsibility at eight? This book is packed with wisdom, funny sayings, courage, faith, surrender, and a country lifestyle on a Virginia farm that will make you think about your own self and how blessed you really were. The simple straight-forward truths were interwoven into this child's life that made her stand out in crowds and most of the time feel like a misfit.
This book contains stories of my life as a veterinarian in private practice for 32 years and 17 years as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Large Animal Medicine and Surgery Department at Texas A&M University.

Pisgah community and worked beside me as a veterinarian's wife. While caring for our family and home, she dedicated 27 years to education in Louisiana and Texas. Upon my retirement in March, 2007, I had completed 49 years in the practice of veterinary medicine. Even though, I am enjoying retirement, I wish that I were still practicing. Working as a veterinarian was my life's passion. Dora retired in June, 2007. Our time has been dedicated to our families, our church, researching our family genealogies, and visiting with lifelong friends and friends who have been a part of our lives during the last 20 years in Texas.

In Tears of Pain: My Life with Autism, Marc Rivera welcomes you to his world of autism and chronicles his daily struggle to fit in to a world so unlike his own. The objective is to help people understand how much individuals in the Autism Spectrum need to be accepted as they are by society. Based on his journal, Marc recounts many of the personal challenges he faced: bullying and ridicule from his peers, poor communication with teachers, trying to make sense of "The Rules" both at school and as a whole - to name a few. In this alien world, Marc felt safe only in his own home. It was there that he felt, for the most part, safe and protected. He could always count on the love and support of his family, although at times they felt just as confused and lost as Marc. Tears of Pain: My Life with Autism is a call to society to enter into the world of autism. Our hope is that readers will gain a better understanding of individuals within the Autism Spectrum. These special people, so similar yet so different from you and me, suffer torment and misunderstanding only because their brains are wired differently.
At the edge of the Judaean Desert, bandits are menacing the stability of the kingdom of Herod the Great. Alarmed at the unsteadiness of its aging ally and the threat to the security of its gateway to the East, Rome dispatches Tribune Ulpius Crus and a single cohort of the Twenty-fifth Legion to the Judaean wasteland. The tribune asks Centurion Quintus Flavius Rufio to lead the cohort with him to Judaea to establish a temporary Roman presence as a deterrent near the edge of the Salt Sea. Veteran of eastern campaigns, Rufio recognizes that the threat of bandits is an illusion and that Rome faces a far superior danger. He must quickly train his foot soldiers to take to the saddle, for now they challenge a brilliant commander leading a force of the finest horsemen on earth. On the outcome of this confrontation depend the existence of Judaea and the credibility and primacy of Rome.
