Book Description
The One Who's Not with Us is a fictional novel that tells the love story of a teenage couple. It was 1965. The Vietnam War was in full swing. Enola and Shane dated for a couple of months before he received his orders for Vietnam. They were deeply in love. The couple spent Shane's last night in town together. They let their passion for one another get out of control. By the pond under the stars and a full moon, they came together for the first time. That one time connected them forever. The couple wrote to one another. When Enola found herself pregnant, she had nowhere to turn. Her parents followed a strict religion, and Enola knew they would not accept her pregnancy. In 1965, an unwed mother was looked upon with disdain by most of society. She thought about telling Shane but decided against it.

She closed her heart to love and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, for a fresh start in life. Enola severed all ties with her family and quit writing to Shane. She closed the door to her past and moved forward in life. Ten years later, Enola is serving her second enlistment as an army nurse. She thought she had carefully buried her past until she came face-to-face with Shane. Enola confessed the past to Shane. The story tells how the couple deals with the guilt, regret, emptiness, and loss. They learn to trust in God's plan for their lives and accept his many blessings as they are granted.

Book Description
2015 World Fantasy Award winner! "Gifts for the One Who Comes After - saturated with tales of omens and curses, is a gift for the one who comes looking." - Quill & Quire (Starred) Ghost thumbs. Microscopic dogs. One very sad can of tomato soup . . . Helen Marshall's Shirley Jackson Award-Nominee and second collection offers a series of twisted surrealities that explore the legacies we pass on to our children. A son seeks to reconnect with his father through a telescope that sees into the past. A young girl discovers what lies on the other side of her mother's bellybutton. Death's wife prepares for a very special funeral. In Gifts for the One Who Comes After, Marshall delivers eighteen tales of love and loss that cement her as a powerful voice in dark fantasy and the New Weird. Dazzling, disturbing, and deeply moving. Praise for Helen Marshall “Helen Marshall is a writer who creates real people in real situations, then uses the fantastic to pry her way inside her readers’ rib cages and break us wide open.” ―Neil Gaiman “Marshall’s work is fantastical and surreal, with similarities to that of writers like Kelly Link and Robert Shearman. But whereas Link’s stories can sometimes seem wilfully opaque, Marshall’s are built round an emotional core that is always engaging; whereas Robert Shearman might use his twisted plots for the purposes of dark comedy, Marshall’s stories are full of heartbreak and hurt. . . . Gifts for the One Who Comes After should single out Marshall as one of the most accomplished writers of the fantastic being published today, an exceptional collection likely to be among the best 2014 has to offer.” ―This is Horror “Marshall is an extremely talented, wonderful writer. . . .” ―SFRevu “Stories subtle and unsettling: Helen Marshall clothes the uncanny in new flesh and then makes it bleed.” ―Kelly Link, author of Pretty Monsters and Stranger Things Happen “Helen Marshall whispers in your ear when she fits the noose around your neck, filling you with wonder and dread, urging you into a startling, beautiful darkness. These stories―which sometimes feel more like spells―are the very best kind of unsettling.” ―Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Dead Lands “. . . Marshall is simply extraordinary.” ―SF Site “Sometimes you hear people talking about the new face of horror. Well huddle closer, children. Hair Side, Flesh Side is it. This is author Helen Marshall’s debut story collection, but she’s no stranger to these shores. . . . Marshall’s stories are frightening, touching, quirky, sexy and deeply lyrical.” ―January Magazine “Strangely touching, disturbing and weird as hell, Marshall proves herself a potent new talent.” ―Rue Morgue Magazine “Helen Marshall writes assured, accomplished prose that is as chilling as it is beautiful, and the stories she tells are as daring as they are unexpected. This superb first collection is set to make waves.” ―Tim Lebbon, author of Echo City and The Thief of Broken Toys

Book Description
This book is dedicated to Christians and non-Christians for salvation, daily motivation, inspiration and devotion. I have realised that some people get to Christ at some point then, go back to the world because of the inability to stand firm to their faith in the Lord. Thus, one must realize that in this last days difficult times are still to come. Many people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unfeeling, uncooperative, slanderous, degenerate, brutal, hateful of what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. So, because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. I encourage people to hold on to the confession of their hope without wavering, for He (God) who promised (salvation) is faithful.

Book Description
The intense pressure of daily life gets to everyone eventually-we are all just too stressed out. The demands of modern lives-job, relationships, children, housework, exercise, meals, even spiritual fulfillment-combine to overwhelm and weigh us down. We seem to get through this struggle day by day, week by week, praying that we have the fortitude to survive until the next weekend, the next vacation, when we can totally crash. Along with the daily stress comes the edgy realization that despite all the effort we've made, we still don't have what we want. Even when everything seems caught up, contentment still eludes us. Author Darlene Cohen seeks to rejuvenate the weary professional, busy parent, and harried student by offering a path on which to walk away from exhausted frustration toward a holistic approach to time management. The One Who Is Not Busy introduces two fundamental and specific skills to make this happen: the ability to narrow or widen the mind's focus at will the mental flexibility to shift the mind's focus at will from one thing to another: to go from "narrow" to "narrow" to "narrow" Sound impossible? This is the notion of simultaneous inclusion. In The One Who Is Not Busy, Cohen illustrates that a person could be both busy and not busy at the same time by following six busy professionals through this unique process. Cohen affirms that it is learning to be simultaneously "busy" and "not busy" by living the principles of simultaneous inclusion that will allow us to experience work-and the rest of our lives-in a deeply meaningful way. In a culture that rewards only the final product, many professionals find themselves always looking to the next project, the next reward, the next vacation. Learn how to focus on the present, and stop missing what is right in front of you. Darlene Cohen, M.A., LMT, earned her graduate degree in physiological psychology and spent the majority of her Zen training-thirty years-as a laywoman. After developing rheumatoid arthritis, she became a movement teacher for people with joint restrictions, and was then certified as a massage and movement teacher. Currently, she sees clients and gives workshops, classes, lectures, and seminars that emphasize mindfulness, at various medical and meditation centers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington State, Illinois, and New York City.

Book Description
Dr. Woods' commentary supports his conviction that the letter to the Hebrews was written to Jews saved under the old covenant by faith in a coming Messiah. He skillfully demonstrates that the book was written to convince these Old Testament saints to put their faith in Jesus, the Messiah who had come. Using this approach, Dr. Woods clarifies the difficult passages of Hebrews without corrupting the text or manipulating it to conform to one's theological bent. In particular, the passages that are sometimes used to support the possibility of losing one's salvation are carefully examined and their meanings precisely clarified. This book presents new and biblically accurate insights into the overall argument of the letter to the Hebrews that need to be understood by the evangelical community. - Publisher.

Book Description
A member of the Cuban Resistance, Antonio de León was arrested on the day of the Bay of Pigs invasion and imprisoned in the fort of El Morro. He escaped execution and immigrated to the US, only to return to try and rescue his family from Cuba. When his boat ran out of fuel in the Atlantic, he was buffeted for hours in high waves in the open ocean, and Antonio was picked up by a Russian freighter. At this time, he had no idea that his life was being protected by an all powerful God who would later totally transform his life and send him as a missionary into the dangerous Guatemalan jungle in the midst of the civil war. Through a series of miracles, God used Antonio to start churches in remote jungle villages. This is a compelling story of grace, providence, protection, and transformation. “Antonio Manolo de León might be the most fascinating man I’ve ever met and, now, you can meet him too. We like to read stories of daring adventurers not just because they enthrall us, but also because they make us dream. What else might God have for me to do right here, right now? I’ve personally witnessed Antonio’s passion for Christ and seen the power of God at work in and through him. You’ll be nourished by his story and inspired toward new adventures with God.” —Alan D. Wright, lead pastor of Reynolda Church, nationally broadcast radio teacher and author of five books, including the newly released, The Power to Bless.

Book Description
This book is an ongoing psychosynthesis of my inner conflict. It is initiated and occasionally guided by a holistic guidance that gradually differentiates itself and reveals itself as different levels and types of holistic guidance. It synthesizes several perceptions of Christianity with a few present-day spiritual trainings and teachings, including the teachings of Jesus and Watchman Neea profound seer of divine revelation. It invites us to see what has gone wrong in society since we abandoned the female-centred Celtic Christianity, for a distorted male-dominated Christianity, instead of finding the synthesis of both.
