Book Description
Trending on TikTok takes on an entirely new meaning when the ‘for you’ becomes a viral love story in the making. Aries Skye makes a sizzling debut in this flirty feel-good romance, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Farrah Rochon. Zany and vivacious Nissi Richards always had her sights set on one goal—her career. As the youngest doctor at Optimal Dentistry, Nissi is the epitome of Black Girl Magic and a #GoalCrusher. Dating, however, was a different topic, or rather more of a non-existent headline. Despite her best friend's botched matchmaking attempts and her meddlesome sisters who insist she hook a man, love and marriage were never on Nissi's to-do list—at least not that she'd admit. Kannon Jordan was a man of simplicity. Unimpressed with the whims of every short skirt that flitted by, or the sexy social media prospects, the ravishing fireman was content with the bachelor's life. A cosmic shift in his beliefs takes a nosedive once he crosses paths with a dazzling doctor in distress. When Kannon rescued Nissi from a malfunctioned elevator, she never thought she'd see the handsome fireman again. Suddenly, when a TikTok video goes viral, the two strangers are miraculously reconnected. Will Nissi and Kannon surrender to their feelings, or will they deny their chemistry and the possibility of love at first sight? “You will root for Aries Skye’s swoon-worthy characters in this powerful testament to kindred connections and destined love!”—N’TYSE, national bestselling author and film producer

Languages : en
Pages : 731
Book Description
A romantic relationship between humans is difficult enough, and it’s so much harder when one’s potential partner is an otherworldly being, but maybe it’s true what people say. Love conquers all. Follow the love journey of these men as they navigate their way through romantic and familial relationships, friendships, and everything else life throws their ways. Contains the stories: The Impossible: Galen Lykaios is a cupid and Dion Angelos owns a funeral home. They have a chance encounter during one of Galen’s assignment, and there’s a spark between them. However, trying to form a relationship while having to deal with an ancient demon who seems hell-bent on killing them is no easy feat. The Crossroads Diner: Eric is a successful restaurateur, but he has a strained relationship with his family ever since he comes out of the closet, and he has yet to find the right romantic partner. Benjamin owns a mysterious diner with strange customers. He has secrets he doesn’t share with Eric even though their relationship has progressed from friendship to a romantic one. Maybe their relationship is doomed to fail. The Necromancer and the Men Who Love Him: Calian is a necromancer. When he meets Gage Hawkins and Flynn Hamilton, he expects one passion-filled evening, but it turns into something deeper and more romantic. A necromancer’s trial is difficult and dangerous, though. If Calian makes it through and becomes a grim reaper, he can’t stay in the mortal realm. Maybe their romance is destined to die an early death.

Act Justly, Love Mercifully, and Walk Humbly with Your God
Author: Don McNeill
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449483585
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The Center for Social Concerns provides community-based learning courses, community-based research, and service opportunities for students and faculty and lies at the heart of the University of Notre Dame. It is a place where faith and action, service and learning, research and resolve intersect. For more than 30 years the Center has offered educational experiences in social concerns inspired by Gospel values and the Catholic social tradition so that students and faculty may better understand and respond to poverty and injustice. Through the Center's programs students, faculty, staff, and alumni are enabled to think critically about today’s complex social realities and about their responsibilities in facing them. The Second Vatican Council articulated the significance of the baptismal call to discipleship for all believers, emphasizing active participation of the laity in the life of the church in the world. Responding to that urging, the Congregation of Holy Cross dedicated themselves to intentional formation of the laity through academic study of theology and through long-term immersion at their aposolates in the United States, Peru, Chile, and Uganda. The Center for Social Concerns, founded at the University of Notre Dame in 1983 by Fr. Don McNeill, C.S.C, deepened these efforts through a combination of pastoral theology, community-based learning, and lay formation for mission. This edited volume consists of eleven firsthand accounts from those directly formed by the Center for Social Concerns' approach to pastoral theology and through post-graduate collaboration in ministry with the Congregation of the Holy Cross. These fifteen essays will hold great interest for Catholics wishing to explore the implications of Vatican II for the church's mission in the world, for undergraduate and graduate students focusing on pastoral theology and missiology, and for all the people of good drawn to explore the relationships between faith and justice, contemplation and action.

Shan'ge, the 'Mountain Songs'
Author: Yasushi OKI
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004192441
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 614
Book Description
Mountain Songs is a collection of folk songs edited by the famous writer Feng Menglong (1574-1646). By this innovative work - mainly written in the Suzhou dialect - he aimed to revitalize poetry through the power of popular songs. This collection is very significant to the understanding of the characters of the mobile society of Jiangnan and the vitality of its intellectual world. The songs deal with the lives of common people: women, often prostitutes, boatmen, peasants, hunters, fishers and paddlers. Their spirit is far from the orthodox moral intents that Zhu Xi advocated for interpreting the Shijing, and their language is often vulgar and full of crude expressions or salacious double meanings and contains allusions to sexual and erotic behaviour.
