Entrenched in the teachings of the Church and enriched by the Bible is an untapped wealth of truth and what Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Casti Connubii calls "supernatural powers" concerning sacramental marriage that awaits those willing to undergo the journey. In this book, The "Supernatural Powers" in the Marriage Sacrament, those who seek will indeed find that through a systematic and tenable development of marriage, its mystery is not only illustrated and unveiled, but perpetuated in the supernatural gifts that Christ has embedded in this vocational Sacrament. Throughout these pages, as the marital union unfolds through the lens of Christ across the Old and New Testaments, Christian spouses will be moved by the depth of their own calling and inspired with renewed vigor to pick up the torch and to live out that life - a life which has been ordained by God in holiness as a truly unique and efficacious revelation of the redeeming power of Christ. In Part I of The "Supernatural Powers" in the Marriage Sacrament, the first seven chapters are specifically designed to led deacons, catechists, and lay Catholics - especially husbands and wives - to learn through a gradual yet intensively biblical and theological journey towards the unveiling of the unique redeeming gift to spouses - that which is seen, established and empowered through Christ at the Cross. Here one finds the specific dynamics of that Sacramental gift unpacked, and the sound spiritual evidence laid out for why there is such an absence of this marital fruit in our modern era. In Part II, Poulin then unpacks in greater detail how marriage and the gender of husband and wife serve as a revelation about man, salvation, and the Blessed Trinity; and just how the religious life falls within that plan without contradiction or constraint. ¿Lastly in Part III, Jeff Poulin puts under the microscope through the lens of the Church the powerful words of St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:14 and defends the charge that the simplest Catholic explanation - that which is often dismissed - merits a serious second look!

Two months into the new reality of a worldwide pandemic, death came to collect another soul, not by way of a virus but in the form of a horrific car accident. An event that left one mom's daughter, who was three days short of finishing high school, badly broken and torn, and with a brain injury so severe, that no one gave her any chance of survival.No one freely handed out any encouragement or optimism about the present, let alone the future, and watching her daughter sway between life and death for several weeks should have broken this mom's foundation of faith, but instead it became the catalyst that pushed her into a self-imposed quest to find joy and positivity, something she knew she would need to help her get through the grueling days that viciously waited ahead of her.Through her daily writing, she chronicles the daunting journey of the darkest and toughest emotional and mental walk of her life, but it would in due course bring her the joy she sought after, strengthen her faith, and ultimately get her to the impossible; witnessing the miraculous gains in her daughter's physical and cognitive healing.

None of Your Business! is a novel about the richest business leader in the world, John Mako, spanning one year of absurdist changes to our society with the goal of being both entertainingly thoughtful and outside the box. Nowadays as businesses and global corporations have more and more power, it allows them unprecedented influence and control in society. What if the leaders of one of those companies - or specifically, the richest and most powerful business leader in the world, had a sudden epiphany and dedicated himself wholly to making the world a better place?¿What if the world's premiere business leader spent all of their resources on transforming society? This novel looks at this concept through an absurdist, whimsical lens. For example, taking the concept of Work/live situations like real factories abroad but satirizing the concept. Or actual stores of 'Free Stuff' to parody the concept of liberal takers. This is all wrapped around John Mako's crisis of conscience.None of Your Business! - can be categorized as satirical fiction, with the elements of a self-help-book. A blend of Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, and Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, it's a book meant to be absurdist, thought-provoking, and provocative. Is this really the future of business, or whose business? Or maybe that's None of Your Business!

People often pull me aside to say they have an idea for a story I should write. Story ideas come to me in every way except that way. I've learned to listen for an emerging tale when my mind is creating. Sometimes the idea for a complicated novel arises from that mass of gray matter, and I hurry to write down the central theme. Often-like in this collection of short stories, there's an urgency to start writing immediately and get it done fast. A short story might barge in between two chapters of a novel. I give it plenty of air, treat it tenderly, and write it. Handful of Pencils fiction is for readers seeking a short creative interlude. Read one story at a time, or all of them at once. The stories are varied and include settings in Spain, Italy, England, and America.¿This book contains the best of those stories.

A Doc Who JotsPart of an article in 1996, by George S. Poehlman M.D., noted: "Always ask your patients about something that is totally nonmedical before closing out the patient encounter. You will ensure that your life's work is made up of more than simply treating disease. You will become an amateur anthropologist on whom people's stories are bestowed. This is what makes men and women of medicine wise." Doing just that led to a renewed appreciation, by this family physician, for his medical career. It did not add a significant amount of time to an encounter, and he started to briefly record, in a journal, some of the interactions that he felt were worth remembering and documenting. There are encounters included from the office, as well as from the homes of patients. The first three books, derived from the journal, were entitled "Patients Say the Darndest Things." (BookLocker.com: book #1: 2003, book #2: 2006, book #3: 2009.) He changed the title for this collection. All names (or initials) of the patients have been changed. He acknowledges that many interactions with patients do not have as pleasant an outcome as is depicted in most of the encounters included in this collection. However, some will illustrate the ability to tease out some unique, uplifting, or funny aspects that arise during many patient encounters, even during a hectic day. As a result, many days of patient care may be much better than they might have been otherwise. A few of the entries are not from patient encounters.He also included some personal reflections at the end, including a couple sections on how he navigated through grieving and bereavement after the unexpected death of his first wife. He greatly benefited reading how others dealt with their own loss. He hopes someone might benefit from reading his journey.

Ephraim Fox was born in Barboursville, Knox County, Kentucky, to Nicholas and Sara Fox. Ephraim's grandfather Benjamin had been adopted into the well-known Virginia Fox family who populated much of Kentucky and Tennessee. Whether it was the adoption of Benjamin or another reason that has been forgotten centuries ago, his eldest son Nicholas was not close to his immense extended family. When Ephraim was 21, he moved with his parents and all but one married sister, to Missouri. Nicholas died within a couple years. When Ephraim was 30 he brought his family across the Oregon Trail, in 1852. There, 2000 miles from the United States, Ephraim made a new beginning for his family in Oregon. No one knew the past; they only knew Ephraim, the man. Family secrets and turmoil was left behind and never spoken of again. It was Ephraim alone, who established a Virginia Fox family in Oregon.Just as the Fox family reached Oregon, bubbling hostility between Native tribes and American settlers were only beginning to worsen. In 1853-1854, the generational hatred fueling deadly back and forth confrontations led to several deadly battles between regular army and volunteer troops, and the Natives. In 1855 when hostilities were perceived to threaten the settlements in Oregon, Ephraim, his brother John, and two brother-in-law's named Bunch, enlisted in the provisional sponsored mounted volunteers. The group was involved in the First Meadows Battle.Ephraim raised two families in Oregon. He saw port towns develop, and some wash away in Willamette River flooding. He saw the heyday of steamers on the river, and he saw the iron horse retire them.Ephraim Fox took his place as a humble farmer at a table of Oregon pioneers who had distinguished themselves in their communities. He was proud of that identity. Even so, the world had become a different, unrecognizable place to him by the time he grew old, the population grew, industrialization loomed, and morality suffered. He came from a time dominated by the Great Awakening, when divorce was rare, and alcoholism even rarer. If Ephraim found himself in a cramped world, it was only because pioneers had reached the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean, and there was nowhere else to go. The effect of the era of industrialization on his sons would be stark.Then, at a time when he should have been sitting on his porch with grandkids on his lap with a faithful dog napping nearby Ephraim faced the ruination of all he had worked for. When two sons earned themselves jail time, and ended up spending it with their childhood chum, the first person in Oregon accused of patricide, all hell broke loose in newspapers all over the state. The public fiasco created a tide of embarrassment and needless humiliation that washed over the family.In his 70's, stooped over with rheumatism, plagued by strokes and half crippled, with his life's work and family reputation on the line, Ephraim Fox, stepped forward, to set things right.

The first in a trilogy of books about the founding of the U.S. Navy, The Founding Fathers at Odds: The Quasi-War, is told in the form of a memoir from the vantage point of young South Carolinian of Scottish descent from the Waxhaws who goes to sea and is later impressed into the British Navy.This first work, spans the tumultuous era of the Quasi-War with France, the writing of the United States' Constitution, and the birth, in the United States, of partisan politics, which becomes increasingly bitter and divisive.The second volume, entitled Dueling Brothers, Dueling Countries, and The Lure of Empire: The Barbary Pirates, recounts the War with the Barbary Pirates, the rise of Aaron Burr, the Louisiana Purchase, and the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson, while the third volume, entitled, Free Trade and Sailors' Right: The War of 1812, covers the Second War of Independence (the War of 1812). The second volume should be out later this year of 2023, with the final volume to follow in 2024.The oldest of large family, James goes to sea sailing on a merchantman, while his brothers and sisters have roles to play as shipwrights under Joshua Humphreys, building the frigates that will serve the nation so well, such as the Constellation and the Constitution, or in serving in the militia under Andrew Jackson, or running the family's farm and other businesses.The setting in the Waxhaws, the site of an infamous massacre during the Revolution, and the clan's father and grandfather, having fought at both King's Mountain and at Cowpens under Daniel Morgan, grounds the novel in the era following the American Revolution.The spirit of partisan politics even divides James' family, with his brother John becoming a correspondent of Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and James Madison, while the patriarch of the family is longtime friend and admirer of Alexander Hamilton.When James is impressed by the British Navy, he finds himself under the cruel tutelage of Lieutenant Campbell and the equally sinister Sailing Master William Samuelson. Floggings and other punishments, such as mastheading during a vicious storm, are only some of the measures Campbell and Samuelson take in order to torment and hopefully kill young James.While James fights against the French in the British Navy, Captain John Truxtun defeats two French frigates in one-on-one ship battles during the Quasi-War.At home, his younger brother, John, who has always despised James, not only courts the intended of James, the prominent and wealthy Patience Pendleton, but also tries to displace James as the eldest son in their father's eyes and their father's businesses. John, over the wishes of his father and the objections of the rest of the family invests in slaves to work their landholdings.This is the era where the relationship between the United States and France deteriorates, with the diplomats of France demanding huge bribes, merely to start diplomatic talks in the infamous X, Y, Z Affair. John Adams becomes aware that his Vice President and best friend, Thomas Jefferson, has been intriguing with France, counter to the policy of President Adams to court Great Britain and its secure some of its vast world trade network.While Great Britain fights Napoleon, among other naval adventures, our young sailor, James, fights the French fleet at Aboukir Bay in Egypt under Admiral Lord Nelson, learning the British naval tactics, discipline, and signals, which he later brings to the U.S. Navy during the War of 1812.If James can survive his servitude in the British Navy and come home, what will he find? His love stolen? His inheritance stolen?

Graeme Stockbridge is America's best TV journalist and nightly news anchor, unequalled in talent and charisma. He's at the height of his career.But now, Graeme would like to drastically slow down whenever he's off the air. Rather than doing the news from the constant tumult of his network's studios, Graeme decides he wants to broadcast year-round from a small working ranch in semi-rural Idaho.Instead of being caught in the noisy rush of big city life, he wants to continue his work but also to enjoy farming, ranching and nature while living near Hiram, a small Idaho town where neighborliness is key.In his free time, Graeme wants to take long, traffic-free walks in the quiet countryside, try his hand at agriculture, rediscover photography, study birds, plants and insects, wander the canyons of the Snake River, enrich his marriage and further explore the meaning of his life.Graeme's network resists his grand idea; his wife Lara, a noted architect, also resists; and his TV-pioneer father resists. On top of that, not everyone in the little town of Hiram is as welcoming as one might expect.Far from it.Hiram and the surrounding areas have many charming residents and more than a few slightly-oddball types, mostly harmless and often fun. But there are also those people who like to flaunt their rights under Idaho's open-carry law, those who like to challenge all levels of government and those who keep parts of their lives well-hidden-for good reason.In seeking to move away from the ultra-fast pace of network news in Los Angeles and New York, Graeme sets in motion a serious of events which lead to tragedy, and which take him and Lara into a world of secrets and danger.The novel goes behind the scenes into control rooms and studios during major television broadcasts, into the adrenalin-infused complexities of covering of a national news crisis, into the machinations of corporate boardrooms and out into the remarkable Idaho countryside-a world of dramatic scenery, incredible raptors and an amazing insect, the dragonfly.HOVER POINT is told with Eric Wallace's usual flair, quiet humor and gorgeous prose. It is an intriguing mixture of drama, philosophical observations, lyricism, wit and suspense, with a great lineup of characters, including an operatic pathologist, an enigmatic sheriff, a sociopathic university professor and a border collie named, not without good reason, Trepidation.

What is productivity? How will the United States Government, private sector, and religious organizations use resources to protect, educate, heal, reconnect, and empower children?The second literary creation from Dr. Paul Giangrasso.

In recent years the entire world has experienced a pandemic that has in many ways radically changed our day to day lives. In a positive sense, the pandemic has created an opportunity for everyone to evaluate the way we have been living. Perhaps this will lead many to make decisions that can make our daily lives more biblical.As a member of the worldwide Christian community, I have taken time to quiet myself and pray with a positive emphasis concerning the recent changes that have taken place in both the secular and Christian worlds. This has led me to write this book concerning the Holy Communion and what I find to be in the Scripture that is right there, "hidden in plain sight" concerning it.During the biblical creation period, it is evident that eating and drinking were necessary for life to be sustained. The original problem which caused the entire creation to be negatively affected was a dietary one. God's children ate from a forbidden tree. We could say that they ingested poison that has affected all of us. That is so serious. We often call it "the fall."I believe that as you read through this book, you will find that the Holy Communion is a major part of the antidote provided in the salvation experience found in Christ. This New Testament covenant meal has the power to enable us to be "more than conquerors" in this here and now life.Although historically controversial then as they still are now, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ ring true. Let is not reject or reduce them. Let us receive them and enjoy the blessings of His provision. To God be the glory!"I am the bread of life. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." John 6.48, 53, 56

GOING TO...Helen A. Handbasket(If you are not chuckling...please look around and make sure you're alone. Okay...Step 1: Slowly read the pseudonym out loud. If you're still not at least smiling...take a deep breath, hold it...and exhale. Repeat Step 1. Now you got it. I thank you..."Helen" thanks you.)A revelation of Biblical proportions concerning the calculated and evil mistranslation of one Greek word in the fifth century promoting the myth (lie), of "eternal" conscious torment in Hell...woven through this intriguing tale is a memoir by a: follower of Christ, Vietnam Veteran-(fun-loving combat medic survivor), former alcoholic/drug addict, scribbling scribe, guitar player, often struggling, yet faithful servant of the Lord...and grateful recipient of His infinite Love and Grace.What the...Hell?Hell is the place where we "reap what we sow." The author believes all the sins of the world were purchased through the Blood of Christ...the repentant know Salvation through God's grace alone, for non-believers and the wicked, Salvation comes through the various levels of Hell: chastisement, despair, torment, terror, physical suffering...many believe, death is the final outcome. With the obvious exception of death, the author contends that eventually, the vast majority, if not all, will happily "bow the knee" before they receive the gift of Divine reconciliation. The author will prove, (like so many silenced by the Church over the centuries), that Hell is not eternal. "Eternal conscious torment," taught by the Church since the fifth century is a lie that has destroyed the lives of millions. How could this myth be manufactured and believed by so many Christians for sixteen centuries based on something so blatantly illogical as Biblical "inerrancy?" OF COURSE Scripture is God-breathed...but to preach mistakes were not even possible by overworked scribes (that used copies, of copies, of copies), for 400 YEARS before we had substantial records, is the height of folly."The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right." -Henrik IbsenThe truly God-Breathed miracle isn't the myth of absolute inerrancy, (perpetuated by many "Christians" who sadly rejoice in their exclusive salvation...made sweeter by the eternal suffering of others), it is this: through endless corrupt and nefarious motives, the Gospels, the beating heart of the Good News, remained intact. Why would "men of God," go to such lengths to inject terrorism into Scripture? "Helen" has the answers.Do we believe God...or, Satan, the author of all lies and slander?Christian writer and speaker, Rick Adair, reveals how this lie came to be...his conclusions-coupled with his warm, yet madcap sense of humor-will have Christian's, and secular folks alike, chuckling and rejoicing in the depth of God's love...seeing clearly, perhaps for the first time, that our Father in Heaven would never even consider sending His children into "eternal" conscious torment. God is LOVE. Period.

Southern Rhodesia was a colony of the British Empire. In 1980, it gained independence as modern-day Zimbabwe, after a long liberation struggle, and a bitter guerrilla war.Guerrilla Girl tells the story of Shupai, and her journey to liberation. Follow her from impoverished childhood in a convent school in rural Rhodesia; to her experiences of discrimination and injustice as a young woman in the capital Salisbury; her radical awakening amongst youth political groups; to her transformation into a highly trained freedom fighter.The women of Zimbabwe had to fight for liberation on two fronts: from the domination of the common colonialist enemy, and from the male chauvinism of their countrymen. Most African men in Zimbabwe found it hard to accept women as fighters, let alone as armed guerrillas. Women had a hard time asserting themselves as capable and trusted liberators, always in danger of being put down by their male counterparts.Whilst the names of the characters are fictitious, the majority of events and places are true.

Samuel is a huge Spanish Slug with a vision: to slime the full length of the El Camino from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostella, and then, things still going well, on to Finisterre. Fully supported by his slau, Sally, he sets out with his tiny backpack, only to encounter challenges at every turn.If it's not stick carrying people, it is the weather, dangerously careless boots and cyclists, snorers, temptations and temptresses, and, most dangerous of all, operatives working hard for SPECTRE to see to it that Samuel is unsuccessful in his plan. Samuel's slau too, has inadvertently complicated matters by defeating a high ranking Spanish politicians' daughter in a competition.But Samuel finds support along the way. There are El Camino Miracles: fellow pilgrims who care, hospitality beyond expectations and good wine served will all pilgrim meals. But most of all, British Ministry MI10 take a keen interest in seeing that Samuel is successful in his mission, and will uncover a vast conspiracy that could threaten the entire slug population.And just off the path, a guardian angel is watching carefully.Colourful characters appear along the way, some with an understanding of Samuel's language, Arion Vulgaris, which is sprinkled throughout the verses, and some without. Some good and some not as helpful, these characters are based on real people the author encountered when he walked the El Camino with friends and family. Samuel too was also spotted on the track by the author, not far from Larrasoana.The story follows Samuel's adventure along the Way of St James, from posing his idea to Sally to settling back at his home in Seville. There are sumptuous illustrations, explanatory excerpts from the Arionspeak dictionary and biographical notes for all of the main characters.Samuel is certainly not a common garden slug and his El Camino is far from typical.With the odds stacked against him, can Samuel finally find his way?

Upside-Down: The Rise of an Evolution all began when an American mystic finds herself stranded in her own country. What starts off as a US COVID quarantine adventure soon becomes a story worth writing. Once back in Europe where the author lives, it becomes quite clear that the telepathy words of "Upside-Down" needed to be described and placed on paper. Lessons were learned and needed to be shared.The year 2020 will be cited as a time of great change. Most spiritual teachers refer to this change as the Great Awakening. Throughout this book tools are offered to help us safely migrate the rough and rocky Earthly terrains of a spiritual awakening. Universal Spiritual Laws, ancient spiritual teachings, mediations, prayers, and yoga kriyas guide us to a higher level of consciousness. Chakras, densities, and biofields are up for discussion. After all, as our realities shift, new frequencies alter our mind, body, and soul and new information now becomes available.A book written for the masses should get our attention. All systems in our so-called comfy third density upside-down world need to change, as we move deeper into a fourth density experience. Learning to adjust to a heart-centred world may take some time. The power-controlled world that was so important for decades is quickly fading. For everyone resisting this shift in consciousness, be prepared. You think greed, corruption, lies and releasing a bioweapon virus isn't enough? Wait to see what else is coming if we don't empower ourselves now. Yes, it is time to wake up to the fact that our foods are killing us, pharmaceutics are our only option for healing, and we are a rich money focused culture who has fallen asleep. In the upside-down world a body full of cancer is the norm with no end in sight. Without a higher connection with the spirit world, we are all doomed and self-healing is impossible. This book was written to hit you in the head and then gently hold your hand to move forward into new beginnings.Waking up is not an option as the upside-down turns right-side up.

"A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." (Ephesians 6:10-18 New Living Translation)Faith is the dynamic leader of women warriors who have just been soundly defeated in a fierce battle against the enemy. As Faith lies wounded after the battle, she is nursed back to health by her sisters and fellow warriors, Hope and Charity.

Will her Father's powerful instructions catapult Faith and the courageous women warriors to an astonishing victory?

"Nothing in the world is as powerful as an idea whose time has come," so wrote 19th century French author, Victor Hugo. The Camps of God is a powerful heaven-sent idea that will rescue a great multitude from the growing chaos and lead them on a path of escape toward the coming Kingdom of God."The Camps of God" did not originate with men. It comes to us from God's Word. We know of it because the Spirit's veil has been lifted. Insights have been shown from Scripture and written in The Camps of God's pages. Chapters such as "Escape," "Invitation to a Feast," and "A Powerful Defense," will reveal the Lord's perfect plan. Be warned about the Broad Gate and the Broad Road. They lead only to destruction. By faith, enter the narrow gate. After God's work in His Camp is complete, saints will come out the other side prepared to meet Jesus in the clouds.¿This book is not for everybody. Not everyone sees the direction the world is headed. Many do not see civilization spinning out of control. The chosen fear God and see signs we are near the end of this age. Cover-to-cover, the saints will read with joy then take action. Great ideas are forever. "The Camps of God" will sound the trumpet. Happy are those ready and eager to move out of the chaos and into Jesus' Kingdom.
