Book Description
Expressing the universal quest for acceptance and love, the poems in this volume reflect the personal life journey of author Stania Slahor. The poetry is filled with vivid and eclectic images Slahor has gathered from her long life and from around the globe sailing, Gestapo atrocities, immigrants' struggles, troubled dreams of a defiant daughter and wife, and the joys highlighted by beauty and erotic love. In this, her second volume of poetry, Slahor provides memorable and original imagery as evidenced in the selection, An Old Lady's Treasure. She writes: / her silver hair / bursting milkweed pods / of pure silk / spindle-spun / gossamer webs / woven on the purring loom / of indian summer / the unrestrained / wavy mane / never violated by perms / or artificial dyes / a rich dowry / handed down / from her mom. Like ocean tides, the poems in Lingering Echoes ravish the soul with crushing waves of tragedy and death, and then soothe it with gentle caresses that wash away sorrow and leave it trembling with new life and hope.

Book Description
A Third of the Submarines in the Sea Died - Wormwood is a nonfiction book written by Johan Andreas Rautenbach. Johan believes that some of the initial signs of Jesus' return to take us home have passed. In this book, he discusses the three trumpets blown by angels and why he believes the numerous historical events Christell Lindeque mentioned in this book are related to the end of days. The author crafts the historical events in a manner that captures the reader's attention and includes photographs taken during some of the historical events, such as war trenches and a starving child in South Africa. As a South African, I was captivated by the fact that this book was written by a fellow South African, which was one reason I chose to read it. Although war is not my preferred reading material, history is, and the author's writing style was so effective at capturing my interest that I wouldn't mind reading another of his books. This book discusses numerous events, including World War I, World War II, and the Anglo-Boer War, as well as numerous other conflicts, Chernobyl, and pandemics. I appreciate the author's attention to historical events and the fact that he provides just enough information to keep the reader interested while avoiding boredom. The inclusion of photographs for each event enhances the realism of these historical moments for the reader and was essential for establishing their veracity. Particularly enthralling was the section about General Allenby, but I fear revealing too much by being more specific. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because there was nothing I disliked about it. The inclusion of photographs of the historical events described in the book captivated my interest. I also believe the book has been edited by a professional, as I discovered only a few errors. I recommend this work to Christians who are fascinated by the connection between biblical prophecies and actual historical events. I also recommend this book to all Christians because I found its theory to be intriguing.

Book Description
This compendium of ancient mysteries and controversial knowledge is “an excellent briefing on the genre and its complexities” (Fortean Times). Where did “modern” civilization begin? What lies beneath the waves? Do myths describe interstellar impact? How’d they lift that stone? Was the Ark of the Covenant a mechanical device? Were there survivors of an Atlantean catastrophe? Who really discovered the “New” World? “Hidden history” continues to fascinate an ever wider audience. In this massive compendium, editor Preston Peet brings together an all-star cast of contributors to question established wisdom about the history of the world and its civilizations. Peet and anthology contributors guide us through exciting archeological adventures and treasure hunts, ancient mysteries, lost or rediscovered technologies, and assorted “Forteana,” using serious scientific studies and reports, scholarly research, and some plain old fringe material, as what is considered “fringe” today is often hard science tomorrow. Contributors include: Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods and Underworld), David Hatcher Childress (Lost Cities and Civilizations series), Colin Wilson (From Atlantis to the Sphinx), Michael Cremo (Forbidden Archeology), William Corliss (Ancient Infrastructures), Robert Schoch (Voyages of the Pyramid Builders), John Anthony West (Serpent in the Sky), Michael Arbuthnot (Team Atlantis), Erich Von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods), and many more.
