Relationships, Speak now or Forever Hold Your Peace : Ronald Jacobson
One Man’s Opinion on Relationships and Mariage!
There is no perfect marriage. All marriages have fights and disagreements. The average marriage has less than a 50% survival rate.
As much as you might love one another, you may not be compatible in ways you never thought about. For instance, you may think you have the same views on raising children. Naturally, you will both want good friends, doing well in school, respect, love, and all the normal things that are involved in raising a child.
The how is where the issues come in. How do you react when the child acts up, do you both believe in time-outs, punishing, even hitting? How long is the punishment or time out? The way you were both raised has lots to do with how you handle the situation. Since you might have both been raised to do the same things, how you were raised might be completely different. If your child suffers from an illness like depression, how will you handle that? This type of illness can put a great deal of pressure on a relationship.
A relationship will go through many issues over the course of a lifetime, many things you have yet to contemplate, things nobody has ever told you. In my book, I try to cover some of these issues to better prepare you for what is ahead.

Never Write a Book. It Will Never Write You Back : Gigi Wolf
From taking and failing online IQ tests, to what happened in history when women took off their bras, or new American pastimes like FOMO and YOLO, yoga pants for the military, living a fuller life with a robot suitcase, why being a hypochondriac is misdiagnosed for every symptom of disease, or how to avoid being mistaken for a zombie and thus dispatched by the non-zombie population, this book uses adages to lead the reader down proverbial homey paths like “Absence Makes the Heart Go Wander,” “Good Things Come to Those Who Take Them,” “To Err is Human, To Forgive is Too Much to Ask,” and “Honesty is the Best Policy, and I’m Uninsured.”
These are adages to live by in today’s Troubled Times.

Lightborn: An Epic Fantasy Tale of Messiah : Allen Martin Bair
What if Jesus Christ had been born in an epic fantasy world of knights, elves, orcs, and magic?
Twenty years before, a powerful Necromancer was defeated by the combined forces of the world of Gaetera, but not before leaving a nation and a people shattered and cursed with a living death.
At the same time, a young woman acolyte of the Divine Light gives birth to a son without a father in her convent cloister.
Years later, a young unknown human man called Ission appears within the borders of the fallen kingdom devastated by war and necromancy preaching compassion and mercy on those who have been abandoned and cast off by the rest of the world as monsters and abominations.
Rumors then begin to spread of feats of healing and miracles impossible even for the most powerful of those trained as priests or those trained in the arcane magical arts.
As Ission’s controversial teachings challenge old prejudices and unresolved conflicts, he draws the attention of monarchs and commoners alike as everyone begins to ask the question, “Who is Ission?”
In the battle-scarred world of Gaetera, the answer to that question will lead either to another devastating war, or the rebirth of a people long thought lost to the Darkness. But the message sent to the world by him will change the face of Gaetera forever: The Kingdom of Light has come.

The bonds formed in battle are unique and not understood by anyone who has not served in the military. The men in their foxholes do not fight for lofty ideals or principles; they fight to protect the man standing on either side of them.

This newest book by author Glyn Haynie describes his efforts to find and reconnect with his brothers of First Platoon. These men, with whom he served during the War in Vietnam, are a real part of his family.
Join the family reunion as these veterans get together and share their experiences, rekindle past friendships, and reforge their bonds of brotherhood.

This incredible story of honor, healing, and redemption will touch the hearts of readers in a great many ways. The author includes many photographs, maps, journal excerpts, and well-written descriptions that help the reader truly participate in this incredible journey.

Eternal Ephemerality : Ginger Wang
My Learning Journey In Butterfly Macro Photography
Collection of butterfly and insect Macro Photography by U.S. based photographer Ginger Wang.
Shooting insects is my passion. I enjoy quietly stalking them, crouching beside the nectar, until they decide that I’m no threat, then pressing the shutter button.
Insects are great teachers. Over the years, photographing them has taught me things about them, including their natural habitats, plants, environments, and interactions between different species.
This collection is my gratitude for their patience, tolerance, and simply being their breathtaking selves. I titled it Eternal Ephemerality because butterflies live for only a few weeks. By photographing them, I hope I have immortalized their lives through my DSLR eyes.

On The Other Side Of The Rainbow: A Sojourn Towards The Light : Lonny Dargavel
The deaths of my parents on consecutive days and with the interference of the enemy caused extreme grief in my life. lt did, however, open the door of the spirit world for me in a real, very profound, and personal manner.
ln On the Other Side of the Rainbow, l recount how my grief was transcended by remembering past readings and teachings to strengthen me, and l came to develop abilities to perceive and experience my loved ones who were sharing time with me in the present.
The seeking to heal my soul also lead me to connect with Jesus in a very real and personal way. His friendship and mentorship have helped me to heal and develop spiritually. He has also provided me with the protection l needed, and He lifted me up when l needed it and continues daily. Eventually, we grew quite close, as did my relationship with Mother Mary and Michael, the archangel. Without their divine help, l am sure l could not have lasted in the face of the enemy.
Encounters with them, as well as my loved ones on the other side of life, have become normal occurrences. l have also had encounters with other spiritual beings whom l consider allies, such as Buddha, Ganesh, King David, a fairy princess, a British guard from Fort George during the 1812 War, St. Theresa, St.John Paul ll, Raphael, Kokopelli and others.
lt is especially interesting to see how my parents continued evolving once they reached the other side and how my spiritual growth and relationship with the Lord changed their course as well as my own. Prior to my experiences with the Christian faith, l had followed and had many other first-hand experiences that are based on truths that simply are. Included in this are experiences with past lives and spiritualism, as well as Buddhist teachings and Native American as well. My personal experiences are based on truths and were a guided path that led to my development as a spiritual clairvoyant and lightworker.
The book starts in more of the self-help variety but soon evolves into a more complex novel that is experiential as well as unique as it embraces many teachings but is not confined by anything that is not based on truth. lt eventually evolves into a serious journey with Christ, which was a return to my childhood where I first met him. lt does not leave out any past experiences and knowledge gained as a result of these truths. lt is not typical or confined by any one religious teaching, but it does not attempt to say they are not significant or important, quite the opposite. lt is, l believe, a guided path from above that is meant to bring together many to break down walls, not build them, as what Jesus desires, as are other teachers and great beings who work together to try to win this world away from the dark side and lead it into a world that desires light and welcomes it when it soon arrives. l hope that my first book helps to achieve some of this.
