    Life and death are all around us, but what if death didn't have to exist? What if eternal life was actually our time here on earth? In this book we'll explore the command that Jesus gave us; and that is, to raise the dead? Matthew 10:8 says, "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." Did you know that raising the dead is not a new concept? However, it is not something that we see a lot of followers of Jesus the Christ performing today. Elisha, Elijah, Ezekiel, Jesus, Paul and Peter all raised the dead and we walk with the same Holy Spirit. One aspect they all had in common was, they never pronounced a person dead, but rather sleeping. In this course, you will learn biblical principles for raising the dead. What steps to take before raising the dead and what steps not to perform. In these last days, God is raising up an end time army to perform the miraculous deeds as Jesus. Are you ready?

    I don't know what happened to my life. Just a few months ago, I was independent and had an exciting job I loved. Now, along with my friends, I'm in hiding. Why? Because I'm one of the Five, a group of human women bestowed with powers and abilities to fight and control supernatural beings. A prophesy was written about us centuries ago. We are supposed to save the world, though none of us knows how. Now, Cornelius, the leader of a malevolent group known as the Faction believes that by killing us and absorbing our power, he will become unstoppable in his bid to control not only the supernatural domain, but the entire world. After evading capture and an attempt on my life forced me into months of hiding, I finally have a chance to take action against the Faction - as bait. Asher Leroux, the vampire tasked with helping me, makes me feel things I don't understand. It's as if he fills the empty places in my soul, spaces that I didn't know existed. As the final battle draws closer, I know that defeating the Faction won't give me back the life I once had, but maybe that's not such a bad deal after all.

  • - 20 Vegetarian Recipes Disguised as Poetry
    av John Vincent Palozzi
    207,-

    One day while researching poetry exercises for my poetry class, I came upon the idea of Recipe Poems. This exercise asked the poet to think of a food recipe and write a poem around it, about it, incorporating it - however it would work.I loved the idea, as there is nothing I love more than poetry, except for food! So I wrote my first Recipe Poem. Being a vegetarian, of course, I was not going to use a recipe for chicken cacciatore.I fell in love with writing Recipe Poems and turned to the Internet for finding recipes. I Googled "Vegetarian Recipes" and found a ton of ideas. Some of those recipes were from various countries around the world and made for even more fascinating ideas for poems.The recipes and "facts" (like the history of potatoes) fond in these poems are true, and following the directions should result in preparing the actual dish being written about. I used my imagination to make up the stories that are told in each poem. They are not necessarily "true" stories, thought some are based in true facts. But mostly, I tried to imagine emotional themes that would tie in with the food being prepared, like the tears in the "Oregano Baked Onions" and a sick old man in "Old-fashioned Vegetable Barley Soup."

    Claudia Marceau, sniper extraordinaire and notorious flirt, has grown bored with Tombstone and the Lazy Ravens as a whole. With her unrequited crush on the gunfighter Fiona Bishop growing ever more impossible after the inclusion of Gieo into the mix, she has found temporary comfort in the arms of the White Queen Veronica. But what she really wants is out-out of Tombstone, out of the Ravens, out of the range of the romance she can't have. On the tumultuous last night, with Tombstone burning down around her, she makes her escape into the desert night to seek out the father she is certain still lives and the freedom she craves.Her years of experience as a scout and survivor serve her well on a tremendous journey through the post apocalyptic wasteland where she takes counsel from a scorched Owl, slays a rising caste of Slark, and survives an encounter with an army of mutants that forever changes her and the fortunes of humanity.When she arrives in the City of Broken Bridges that arose from the ashes of San Francisco, she finds her father not only lives, but has become a powerful warlord charged with protecting the most technologically advanced city in human history. The maudlin French Canadian heroine becomes embroiled in a love tangle with a British sailor, a Scottish footballer, and the world's last donut shop girl. In a landscape filled with man-eating trees, giant god-like robots, and vile mutants, Claudia strives to find a moment's peace before the Lazy Ravens make their push to the west coast and claim a city with more secrets than people.

  • - Brief History of Hadhrat Abu Bakr (RA) - Hadhrat Umar (RA) - Hadhrat Uthmaan Ghani (RA) - Hadhrat Ali (RA)

    Every prophet of Allah Ta'ala had a group of followers who were his helpers and students. After the demise of that prophet, they kept alive his teachings by propagating what he had taught them. In this manner, for centuries, various religious groups survived. Similarly, our beloved Nabi, Hadhrat Muhammad PBUH also had a group of followers who sat in his company, learnt from him the religion of Islaam, fought for Islaam with him and obeyed him. These people are known as the Sahaabah RA. They totaled over a hundred thousand. It is an accepted fact that after the Ambiyaa AS, the Sahaabah RA are the most excellent people. The companionship of each Sahaabi differed. Some were closer to Rasulullah PBUH than others. In the light of the Qur'aan and Ahaadith in which the excellences of the Sahaabah RA are mentioned, the Ulama agree that the most excellent amongst the Sahaabah RA are the Khulafaa-e-Raashideen according to the sequence of their khilaafat. Thereafter are the other six Sahaabah RA who were granted the glad tidings of Jannah in their lifetime. They are Hadhrat Talha RA, Hadhrat Zubair RA, Hadhrat S'ad RA, Hadhrat Sa'eed RA, Hadhrat Abdur-Rahmaan RA and Hadhrat Abu 'Ubaidah RA. The four Khulafaa and these six Sahaabah RA are known as 'Al- 'Asharatul-Mubash-sharah' (The ten men who were given the glad tidings of their definite entrance into Jannah). Thereafter comes the rank of the Badriyyeen. The Badriyyeen were those Sahaabah who participated in the Battle of Badr. The above ranks were even acknowledged by Hadhrat Umar RA when he used to grant allowances to the Sahaabah RA. The greater the sacrifice, the greater was the allowance.

    DIVAN OF HAFIZ Revised Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. Hafiz was born in Shiraz, Persia (Iran) in 1320 and died there in 1392. He is considered by many of the world's great poets, writers and mystics to have been the greatest poet who ever lived. The book that he gave to the world, his Divan has been loved by millions of people of the East and West for the past 700 years and is used as an oracle even today. Hafiz was not only a unique and great poet; he was also a Perfect Master, a God-Realized soul whose wisdom and insights into the everyday and the mystical path are such that it is said one can gain spiritual advancement just by reading his book. His Divan is for all because he speaks as one who has gone through it all, from the passion of human love into the arms of the Divine. This is a completely revised one volume edition of the only modern, poetic version of Hafiz's masterpiece of 791 ghazals, masnavis, rubais and other poems/songs. The spiritual and historical and human content is here in understandable, beautiful poetry: the correct rhyme-structure has been achieved, without intruding, in readable English. In the Introduction of 70 pages his life story is told in greater detail than anywhere else; his spirituality is explored, his influence on the life, poetry and art of the East and the West, the form and function of his poetry, and the use of his book as a worldly guide and spiritual oracle. His Divan, like the I Ching, is one of the world's Great Oracles. Included are notes to most poems, glossary and selected bibliography and two indexes. First published in a limited edition in 1986 the book quickly went out of print. 565 pages. Goethe: "In his poetry Hafiz has inscribed undeniable truth indelibly... Hafiz has no peer!" Gertrude Bell: "It is as if his mental Eye, endowed with wonderful acuteness of vision, had penetrated into those provinces of thought which we of a later age were destined to inhabit." Meher Baba: "There is no equal to Hafiz in poetry. He was a Perfect Master ... His Divan is the best book in the world because it engenders feelings which ultimately lead to illumination." Inayat Khan: "Once a person has studied Hafiz he has reached the top of the mountain, from whence he beholds the sublimity of the immanence of God." EXPERT COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'."It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance. I am astonished. If he comes to Iran I will kiss the fingertips that wrote such a masterpiece inspired by the Creator of all and I will lay down my head at his feet out of respect." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran."I have never seen such a good translation and I would like to write a book in Farsi and introduce his Introduction to Iranians." B. Khorramshai, Academy of Philosophy, Tehran."Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of many mystical works in English into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. "Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz." Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author of his own poems inspired by Hafiz). Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets from the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages... including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies and screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa

  • - The Lewis & Clark Expedition through the Eyes of Their Forgotten Member
    av Catherine McGrew Jaime
    148,-

    Now, in larger, easier to read print.The Lewis and Clark Expedition was filled with adventures and danger. Most of us know something of its travelers, almost all being familiar with Captain Meriwether Lewis, Captain William Clark, and Sacajawea. But one important member of the Expedition if often overlooked, Clark's slave York. This short story tells the tale of the Corps of Discovery from York's perspective. We join York as he shares the stories of his adventures with his grandchildren, in his cabin in Kentucky. While the setting is fictional, as well as the family he may or may not have ever had, the adventures he shares with them are based in history. From the Author's Note: "I hope you have enjoyed the story of York and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. When I started writing this book, I had been studying the Corps of Discovery for more than seven years. I always felt like York's story needed further telling. He was such an important part of the expedition, but sadly, so often gets little credit. I was able to find many more books on Sacagawea and Seaman than on York, which made me particularly sad.Most of the story you just read is historically accurate, based on many, many hours of research into the Corps of Discovery in general, and York's part in particular. With so many people tasked by President Jefferson to keep journals, it was a well-documented trip. And now with the power of the internet, those journals are readily accessible to anyone who wants to read them.I used the expression "proceeded on" as often as I did because it was a common phrase in many of those journals. Oftentimes, both Captains and at least one of the Sergeants would comment on something, and add "we proceeded on." It was clearly something that they all thought about often.Where I really took literary license was in my descriptions of York's family and his life after the expedition was completed. There is so much we don't know about that. We do know that he was married before he left to go west, that he moved to St. Louis with Captain Clark two years after the expedition finished; and that Captain Clark took ten years after their return to civilization before finally granting him his freedom.Beyond that, my research only turned up scarce and often contradictory mentions of York for those latter years. So this story is the way I would like to think that his life turned out, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever know for sure.In this book, I hoped to bring honor to York and his role in the expedition - honor that was seriously lacking in his lifetime."

    TARA - Laird Neil MacGreagor's bride was not happy in her marriage. She tried everything to compensate including turning her attention to making sure the fun loving Taral didn't marry the wrong man. But before Taral could have a proper wedding, affairs of the heart had to be set aside for a far more dangerous concern - a concern that threatened the survival of the entire clan. RALIN - He wanted nothing more than to die, but six months after he lost his beloved Kindel, Walrick found himself in a new land with people who wanted him to become their laird. After years of living next to a threatening neighbor, the extreme loss of life from the plague made the MacGreagors more vulnerable and falling in love much more difficult for Ralin. Would Neil find a way to save his people and would Walrick accept a challenge to lead the other clan? STEPPEN - Laird Neil MacGreagor did the best he could to save their lives, but now the MacGreagors were without a homeland. Then three different rumors began to circulate -- one started by the MacDonalds, one by the Fergusons and one by someone in the north. With Neil's son in Steppen's charge, she had no place to go and no one to turn to. She'd loved Walrick all her life, but could she ever forgive him for not coming back? EDANA - A new home meant new problems -- which laird would they follow, where would they build new cottages and how could Walrick marry Steppen when Neil forgot to bring the priest? Slade MacGreagor had problems of his own. Attempting to locate his clan in an unfamiliar land, he happened upon nine sisters who desperately needed his help.SLAVA - Slava had a secret and once she told her sister, Charlotte, all nine sisters decided to leave -- even the betrothed Edana. Jessup was ready to throttle a reluctant Lucas, Taral was growing fonder of Geddes and Walrick finally had his priest. But when the sisters left, so did the singing and the hopes of several unmarried men. Would the sisters ever want to come back and if so, would the MacGreagors have to fight another clan to get them?
