Book Description
It started with a blinding white light and a silver ring that would change everything, but it seems never ending. These people should've been dead two hundred years ago when this Empire ceased to exist, yet here I am standing amongst them like I've always been here. Like I belong. I don't. I've become an object of warped fixation for five men I know next to nothing about. Five men that are so clearly divided, two of them hate each other with enough passion to burn me alive right where I stand. Victor Ambrose, King of the Northern Kingdom, is a man so cold it sometimes pains me to look into his eyes. A man who somehow makes me feel protected still. A man that can cripple someone with his gaze alone. Matthias Carillion, King of the Southern Kingdom, is so opposite of everyone else, so gentle and caring that he makes me feel more capable of getting through anything, just by being in his presence. Elijah Black, Leader of the Militia of the Northern Kingdom, has never left me alone without impenetrable protection and clear instructions on his safety regulations. A man so overbearing I find myself disobeying his commands just to see his inflammable anger alight. And Emris Black, First Advisor to the King of the Southern Kingdom. Someone confusing enough to invite irritation from everyone around him. Cruel with his words, silent in everything else, a man who can command a person's mind without moving an inch. Powerful enough to terrify even the worst monster. Then there's Adrien Ashford. Spy. Assassin. Dead. Adrien Ashford is a man rumored to be dead, and he's that fifth presence I've felt watching me since I've come here. Always there, lurking in shadows but refusing to reveal himself. They're all psychopaths. Tyrants. Killers, no matter how humane they could seem at times. Yet they couldn't have been more at odds with each other, any more different. And I've just found out that the one thing they truly have in common, the one thing that will bind the two Kingdoms and their leaders together once and for all... is me. My name is Amethyst Aphelion, and it seems I'm either about to change the course of history... or shatter everything. Because I'm only a sixth of a soul.

Quality with Soul

Pages : 236
Book Description
This book demonstrates that, despite much evidence to the contrary, there are still Christian colleges and universities of high academic quality that have also kept their religious heritages publicly relevant. Respected scholar Robert Benne explores how six schools from six different religious traditions (Calvin College, Wheaton College, St. Olaf College, Valparaiso University, Baylor University, and the University of Notre Dame) have maintained "quality with soul." These constructive case studies examine the vision, ethos, and personnel policies of each school, showing how--and why--its religious foundation remains strong.

Book Description
Tim Wallace's wife died in a boating accident several months ago. Tim was the only eye witness, and one New Jersey cop is sure he killed her. He didn't, but even if the police eventually clear his name, he'll never get over this terrible tragedy. On New Year's Eve, his two best friends and business partners finally convince him to go out for the first time since Maggie's death, and at their neighborhood pub just a few minutes before midnight, things in Tim Wallace's life go from bad to worse. "Can you keep a secret? A really big one?" a drunken stranger asks him. Before Tim can say anything or turn away, the man confesses to a months-old murder, even offering as proof the location of the woman's body. "Now it's your problem," he says and walks away. When the man turns out to have been telling the truth, Tim's life and work are put under the microscope again by the cops, and this time they're not giving up. But neither is Tim, even when things keep getting worse for him, and eventually he realizes he's the only person who can figure out what's really going on---even if it kills him. David Rosenfelt, popular author of six Andy Carpenter mysteries, including the recent hit Play Dead, delivers his first standalone with Don't Tell a Soul, combining the suspense and great characters of his mystery series with an unputdownable, thrilling read.

Soul Friends
Author: Stephen Cope
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401946526
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
"Most of us will have many friends throughout our lifetimes—friends of all shapes, sizes, and callings. Many of these are wonderful, meaningful friendships. Some are difficult. But some magic few of these are connections that have gone right to our soul. These five or seven or ten friendships have been powerful keys to determining who we have become and who we will become. . . . These are the people I call Soul Friends." As the Senior Scholar-in-Residence for over 25 years at the renowned Kripalu Center, Stephen Cope has spent decades investigating—and writing about—the integration of body, mind, and spirit and the rich complexity of our relationships with others, and with ourselves. Perhaps the central truth that arises from his work is this: human beings are universally wired for one thing—vital connection with one another.Soul Friends invites us on a compelling journey into the connectivity of the human psyche, the study of which has fascinated scholars, philosophers, and thinkers for centuries. Cope seamlessly blends science, scholarship, and storytelling, drawing on his own life as well as the histories of famous figures—from Eleanor Roosevelt to Charles Darwin to Queen Victoria—whose formative relationships shed light on the nature of friendship itself. In his exploration, he distills human connection into six distinct yet interconnected mechanisms: containment, twinship, adversity, mirroring, identification, and conscious partnership. Then he invites us to reflect on how these forms of connection appear in our own lives, helping us work toward a fuller understanding of "who we have become and who we will become."Without a doubt, the journey to our most fulfilled selves requires us to look within. But in order to truly thrive, we must make the most of who we are in relation to one another as well. Unsparingly honest, deeply wise, and irresistibly readable, Soul Friends gives us a map to find our way.
