WELCOME TO OXRUN STATION Oxrun Station could be a spooky place, especially out by the Windsors', right next to the graveyard. At night Natalie heard eerie sounds out in the fog, among the tombstones, unnatural sounds made by unearthly things. Natalie's husband had been born in Oxrun Station. He loved the town, and served it well-and in return it killed him. Ben's death had left Natalie isolated in a strange town she could not call her own. How strange and how deadly Oxrun Station could be, Natalie Windsor was about to learn. Once each year an ancient ritual was recreated, an ancient pact reinvoked-and Natalie Windsor was this year's sacrifice.

Though tremendous strides have been made in cracking the glass ceiling in business, politics, medicine, law, and other professions, the same cannot be said of some congregations and denominations within the Christian church. This is particularly heartbreaking in light of the reality that Jesus and the early apostles and disciples cracked the stained-glass ceiling wide open in the first century. God has carved out places in his church for every woman who has given her life to him, and he wants us to shine in those places. He has given us the spiritual gifts we need to shine in fulfilling the purposes he chose for us. He does not want us to hide our spiritual gifts. He is displeased when or if we choose to hide our gifts. So, trust in the Lord, follow the leading of the Spirit, and walk in the purpose for which you were created.

Free Radicals is the story of a girl who finds herself watching her mother run off with her lover on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The aftermath makes for the most incredible novel of our times: a saga that reconstructs over six decades in the history of Mexico, the United States, and the world, marking at least four generations. Rosa Beltrán's fascinating journey recreates events that changed history forever: the expansion of communism in Latin America, the student movements of the 1960s, the Moon landing, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Cultural Revolution, the dramatic rise of migration, drug trafficking, the social media explosion, and the growth of the middle class. Told in first person, from the retrospective view of the protagonist, the book sheds light on things that once went unnamed, like "domestic violence" or "femicide.">What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, our precocious young protagonist reads in a volume of Nietzsche the day her daredevilish mother leaves her and her siblings behind in search of love, art, and adventure. And the wheels of this family's intimate story thrust the reader headlong into the sweeping history of contemporary Mexico from the 60's student unrest to the present day. A poignant narrative, richly courageous, full of love and laughter in a pitch-perfect translation by Robin Myers.>Rosa Beltrán in English at last! Author of an oeuvre of fierce intelligence and incomparable wit, Beltrán is a bedrock of contemporary Mexican letters. Whether in dazzling essays or in well-researched historical novels, she has proven to be an indispensable witness of our turbulent times. In Free Radicals, her best novel yet, Beltran uses her considerable narrative skills and critical fabulation to bring together three generations of women whose lives--complex. wayward, unique--constitute question marks to the status quo. Just as they are defined in chemistry, these "free radicals" easily react with other molecules, unleashing large change reactions in bodies and society. As intimate as it is subversive, Beltrán¿s view of women in Mexico will not leave you unscathed. - Cristina Rivera Garza, writer What is it about a woman's body that inspires such violence, asks Rosa Beltran's narrator as she tells the tumultous story of three generations of women seeking self-realization and freedom. A runaway mother is at the center of this tale in which women united by family and friendship face the aggression of strangers and intimate partners in a fracturing society. From the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre to the narco-wars of the 80s and 90s and the COVID pandemic, Free Radicals paints a nuanced portrait of Mexico City over the past half century, a place that, in Robin Myer's seamless translation, feels at once familiar and surreal. For those who loved Alfonso Cuarón's 2018 movie Roma, this is a must-read. - D. P. Snyder, writer and translator

Just as reality is not one-sided, poetry cannot be either. Therefore, this book explains both the sides of life in a poetic manner. It shows the most dire situations, then emerging victorious as well as situations where our own conscience takes control of our entire beings and envelope us in a depressing atmosphere that is difficult to escape from. As a poet, I take inspiration from either nature, or past situations that I have personally gone through. Anything and everything that has inspired me has led to these poems. I hope you enjoy reading this collection!

Em "Desvendando a Arca: A Busca pela Verdade no Conto de Noé", embarcamos em uma jornada intelectual que lida com o mistério duradouro da Arca de Noé - uma história que cativou a imaginação humana em todas as culturas e religiões. A questão central que norteia a nossa investigação é enganosamente simples: será esta narrativa milenar um relato histórico ou uma parábola teológica? Nossa abordagem multidisciplinar não deixa pedra sobre pedra, recorrendo a textos históricos, registros geológicos e descobertas arqueológicas para oferecer uma exploração exaustiva. Outra camada de complexidade emerge quando consideramos os mitos do dilúvio que se estendem para além da tradição judaico-cristã, desde a Epopeia de Gilgamesh, na Mesopotâmia, até à história hindu de Manu. Estes relatos generalizados provocam uma questão convincente: Será que sugerem uma catástrofe histórica partilhada ou servem como fábulas morais comuns à experiência humana? As evidências geológicas, por sua vez, apresentam um quadro mais matizado. Embora as inundações localizadas estejam bem documentadas, as evidências de um dilúvio global permanecem inconclusivas. A busca por evidências tangíveis da própria Arca intrigou exploradores, arqueólogos e fiéis durante séculos. As alegações da sua descoberta, muitas vezes na Turquia e no Irão dos tempos modernos, alimentam debates intermináveis e demonstram o nosso fascínio perene pela história. Embora muitas afirmações tenham sido desmentidas, algumas continuam a despertar interesse, dando credibilidade à noção de que a Arca - ou a ideia dela - ainda domina a psique humana. Este livro tem como objetivo uma dissecação equilibrada de uma das histórias mais fascinantes e duradouras da humanidade. Com pesquisa meticulosa e rigor acadêmico, "Desvendando a Arca" oferece uma oportunidade para os leitores se envolverem profundamente com as inúmeras camadas de uma história que continua a provocar questões sobre a história, a moralidade e os limites da crença humana. Quer você aborde este trabalho como um cético em busca de provas empíricas ou como um crente em busca de validação espiritual, "Desvendando a Arca" fornece uma visão abrangente e matizada de uma narrativa que se recusa a ser facilmente categorizada. Ele convida você a uma exploração cativante de uma história que, durante séculos, intrigou, mistificou e inspirou.
