Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The Feeder Fish follows Jim, who has the misfortune of being born a Feeder Fish with only one thing to look forward to: being a happy meal for something carnivorous and unhappy. All Jim knows is fluorescent lights, fish flakes, and glass walls, until a fish named Barry jumps into his fish tank and explains everything. His fate seems sealed when a carnival comes to town and changes Jim’s destiny, finding him the forever home he has always longed for. But all that is about to change when Mona plops into his life and turns Jim’s fishbowl upside down. His once peaceful life becomes a memory when he soon finds himself treading water in a world as big as an ocean. There he discovers not only BFFs (Best Fish Forever), but adventures filled with creatures he never dreamed existed. About the Author J. P. Sheridan explains, “It all began when my daughter brought home a goldfish she had won at the fair, having tossed a Ping-Pong ball into a small fishbowl. I wasn't very optimistic about Jim's future, since he was a bit on the scrawny side, but he surprised us, growing into a beautiful goldfish. During Jim's time with us, I often wondered about his past and if the other goldfish at the fair ended up as lucky.” The author was born in the Bronx, grew up in Washington Heights, and graduated from Lehman College, City University of New York.

Spiritual Genocide
Author: Sonia Sabharwal
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662424094
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Spiritual Genocide – Reincarnation of Earth encompasses channeled information illustrating Earth's past history. This history is unfolding today and into the future, and is based on a topic in every scripture: "Thou Shall Not Kill." This book is rich in defining other archetypes with every chapter revealing hidden celestial truths. Every chapter is written as a mystical gate which is stylistically related and adventurous. Every chapter is like a photograph in God's album surveying the past, present, and the possible future of this unremitting heavenly war and its everlasting effect on Earth and her population. While some photographs bring joyful memories of Earth being God's heartbeat, before her separation from him during the heavenly war, some reveal the celestial truth behind the inexplicable mysteries of Earth's vortices (Mt. Shasta, The Pyramids, Mt. Kailash etc.) and vortexes (Bermuda Triangle, Mohenjo-Daro, Arctic and Antarctic Circles etc.) that continue to baffle scientists, geologists, and many others in their quest for spiritual knowledge. A spiritual analysis of some of the cataclysmic photographs predicts the possible future of Earth. This could be analogous to Mars or the sunken Lemuria or the Lost Continent of Atlantis; there could either be a new Earth or no Earth at all in the future celestial album. Some historical snapshots describe wretchedness where mass atrocities such as the Holocaust, genocides, wars, world wars, nuclear disasters, abortions, murders, September 11 attacks, etc. show that Earth's soil is losing its fertility and the quality of its harvest--her inhabitants--is being reduced. They are also subject to devitalization. Though the mystery of devitalization entails the deciphering of DNA codes, so as to trace the initial reincarnation of Earth and the human soul, the book's chapters will unlock the key mystery that the cosmos (including Earth, planets, and extraterrestrials) has reincarnated numerous times and is reincarnating as per its karmic activity for spiritual ascension. Based on the current threat of nuclear disaster and mass atrocities (including shootings) that are closing the traditional doors of churches, temples, and synagogues, these photographs will reveal the possibility that the celestial windows for Earth and her inhabitants are closing with no doors to escape. Are the current meteorological changes depicting that when one wants to plant a garden, the soil has to be rich in order for the new crops to grow? This book will reveal that if the quality of the Earth and soil is diminished, because of mass atrocities that have occurred since Earth's inception and the effects of present nuclear threats, the crops may not grow. The Spiritual Genocide – Reincarnation of Earth captures the essence of the author's beliefs and further explains the mysteries of the universe. For thousands of years humans have been destroying Earth. This divinely inspired book is the truth about man's veiled secrets--the denial of their own soul truth and the attempt to unconsciously place fault on other human beings for their karma. This is an awakening of truth that each soul is responsible for in their ascension with God. This spiritual book is a spiritual initiation for entering into God's heart and pure love. It is a spiritual initiation of the birthing of dreams for believers and non-believers of faith. This book is guidance for everyone, as we all have sorrows and tragedies that been felt for centuries on Earth. It provides a link to all souls existing today. The author hopes that "Spiritual Genocide-Reincarnation of Earth" is a resource for all souls who are lost and forgotten. Hope this book provides them hope, joy and inspiration.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Scripts Volume 2
Author: Douglas Adams
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 1447227581
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Twenty-five years after the original radio series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero Arthur Dent were finally adapted for radio by Dirk Maggs, in part using drafts written by Douglas Adams before his death. The resulting fourteen completely new episodes were produced by Above the Title Productions and broadcast on BBC Radio 4, with nearly all of the original cast reunited for recording. These scripts brilliantly bring to life the last three books in Adams' perennially popular Hitchhiker series: Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. Dirk Maggs supplies notes which highlight original Adams material and explain how the cast, special effects and music were directed. The scripts are introduced by Simon Jones, who played Arthur Dent in both the original and the recent radio series, as well as in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy television series. Douglas Adams first conceived The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for radio and it is an honour to his memory that all five Hitchhiker novels have now been adapted for this medium. These scripts exemplify the freshness of perspective, humour and perspicacity that epitomize the work of Douglas Adams. They will be loved by fans and those new to Hitchhiker’s alike.
