  • - The Poetry of Allison Grayhurst
    av Allison Grayhurst
    159

    "Allison Grayhurst's poetry combines the depth and dark intensity of Sylvia Plath, the layered complex imagery of Dylan Thomas and the philosophical insights of Soren Kierkegaard, taking the reader on a fearless journey through the human condition, delving with honesty into death, grief, loss, faith, commitment, motherhood, and erotic love. Grayhurst intertwines a potent spirituality throughout her work so that each poem is not simply a statement or observation, but a revelation that demands the reader's personal involvement. Grayhurst's poetic genius is profound and evident. Her voice is uniquely authentic, undeniable in its dignified vulnerability as it is in its significance," Kyp Harness, singer/songwriter, author."Allison Grayhurst is the Queen of Catharsis. Allison Grayhurst's poems are like cathedrals witnessing and articulating in unflinching graphic detail the gritty angst and grief of life, while taking it to rare clarity, calm and comfort in an otherwise confusing world of deception, mediocrity and degradation. Allison Grayhurst takes the sludge of life, and with fearless sharpness of eye and heart she spins it free of maggots with the depth of honour and passion. Allison Grayhurst's work is haunting, majestic and cleansing, often leaving one breathless in the wake of its intelligence, hope, faith and love amidst the muck of life. Many of Allison Grayhurst's poems are simply masterpieces booming with thunderous insight begging to be in Bartlett's Quotations, lines such as "I drink necessity's authority." Nothing is wishy-washy in the realm of Allison Grayhurst. Allison Grayhurst's work is sustaining, enriching, and deepening for the soul to read... a light of sanity in the world. As a poet, Allison Grayhurst is a lighthouse of intelligent honour... indeed, intelligence rips through her work like white water," Taylor Jane Green BA, RIHR, CHT, Registered Spiritual Psychotherapist, and author of Swan Wheeler: A North American Mythology and The Rise of Eros

  • av Peter Larner
    182

    It is only when our unsuspecting hero falls victim to a pernicious act of revenge that Jack Daly realises just how many enemies he has. The mercenary betrayal by work colleagues, the looming birth of his second child and a prophetic warning only serve to frustrate Jack and Italian wife Ludo as their holiday in Sorrento becomes a nightmare that all parents dread. A single, hateful, act of revenge threatens to wreck their marriage and take away their most prized gift, their 3-year-old son Giacomo.Just how many suspects can there be for such a detestable crime? Perhaps more than Jack and the team can handle.In this third Jack Daly mystery, the hesitant hero becomes immersed in the shadowy world of child abduction. As Editor of the specialist magazine Taken he is used to reporting on the disappearance of children to a voyeuristic public. So how will he cope when his day job becomes a dark reality?A man who has nothing to lose is a dangerous man. The only person to send against a man who has nothing to lose, is a man who has everything to lose. So who is to be sent on such a mission? Jack's lifelong friend and SAS officer Tonka Thompson who is facing a Court Martial hearing, or Ludo's artisan Mafia-linked brother Sebastiano? Or is our vacillate hero, the stoical but unremitting Jack, about to face his severest test alone?In spite of the subject matter, this taught thriller is still laced with the subtle observational humour which has become the distinguishing feature of previous Jack Daly adventures Lost in a hurricane and Deathbed Confessions.About the author: Peter Larner lives in Upminster and is a Company Director whose specialist subject is the Romantic poet John Keats. In his professional career Peter is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport and often speaks on the subject of road safety. But he draws on none of these experiences in the Jack Daly series of books. He describes himself as a story teller, rather than an author.One press review of Deathbed Confessions described the book as: 'Highly recommended', 'a cracker', and said it was 'begging to be adapted for TV'. Lost in a hurricane reached the top 100 in the Fiction/Humour section of the Amazon.co.uk Best Sellers list in October 2010.

  • - Parents & Teachers: Safeguard Your Families Against Miseducated Media & Apologist Educators
    av Paul Revere
    139

    Dr. Paul Revere believes in the ethic of Equal Protection afforded to us under the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights-basically an elaboration of the Golden Rule. The job of our democratic republic is to safeguard our natural rights against tyranny, so that all people might live in freedom and safety. But since Islamic supremacy, as a monolithic political ideology, stands in direct opposition to the ethic of the Golden Rule, as well as any system of integrity guaranteed by its use, Dr. Revere has taken on the mission of educating the general public about Political Islam and the danger it poses to human life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Islam is expansionist and kills freedom wherever it takes root. Its adherents-once they Islamize a region in numbers great enough to control the government-impose their totalitarian ways on all others within their political control. This Islamic modus operandi of literally forcing people to lose their freedom and submit to a Muhammadan way of life-the root word for Islam, al-Silm, means "submission" or "surrender"-enforces a fascist philosophy on others that brooks no opposition. Merely questioning Islam can be considered apostasy-the crime of leaving Islam-and is punishable by death. In Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 84, Hadith 57, Muhammad says, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." For this reason, among others, the political ideology of Islam must be exposed outright and fought against vigorously, lest the future of America become a deadly, totalitarian one. May God protect all our children, our grandchildren, and all our future generations against the brutality and genocidal war doctrine of Islam. Please read this book so that you might learn the information that is being withheld from you by jihadist Muslims, apologist educators, and miseducated media; then pledge yourself to the task of educating others as well. Everything written within the pages of this book is authoritative, since it can be double-checked against Islamic sources.

  • av Bradley Lewis
    219

    An unlikely wealthy couple in the midst of constant emotional chaos finds themselves investigating the world of embryo and organ theft, a mystery that takes them to unexpected locales with the most unusual set of characters. With a nod to the The Thin Man, Bradley Lewis takes us out of Manhattan and into the rich, dysfunctional, world of Beverly Hills. With Sheila Benniger's pet schnoodle killed by a Sub-Zero refrigerator accident in a prequel, she is left with only her husband Dr. Brantley Benninger, the local root canal specialist, to schlep around to help investigate her amateur sleuthing hunches. Like Nick and Nora Charles, the Benningers enjoy all the perks of wealth, such as country clubs and eating in the finest Hollywood and Beverly Hills chichi locations, but unfortunately too often with Sheila's Borgia-like parents, the Stirlings. With the help of Irv-The-Shrink, the Bennigers manage to keep their marriage alive - and want to - especially since Sheila is pregnant. The perfect-imperfect couple, Sheila and Brantley are still in love, and their elegant condo provides refuge from the strange world that the Stirlings constantly try to invade. They enter the realm of international crime, macabre murders, and police cover-ups. With lively dialogue and uniquely authentic settings, the author, a Beverly Hills resident for twenty-six years, demonstrates that he knows his subject from every angle, and exposes the extraordinary perverse insider details of wealthy families. The Benningers rub elbows with the rich and famous, while trying to solve what proves to be an off-beat, often funny, tale of mystery and socially-impaired Beverly Hills life.

  • - Seerah of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]
    av Hadhrat Moul Ahmad Baandwi Saheb [R a ]
    134

    In every era numerous authors have written books of various sizes on the seerah (life) of Nabi [PBUH]. This service is still continuing and an assortment of gems will continue to be discovered from this vast ocean. There is no doubt that this insignificant individual does not possess the expertise required for this field. However, time and again this idea had surfaced that something should be written on this sacred topic regardless of the result with the hope that it may be a means of my salvation in the hereafter.Thus, I undertook the task of compiling this small book by extracting different aspects from the various books authored on seerah.I have taken special care to ensure that the language is of an understandable and simple level.May Allah Ta'ala crown this effort with His acceptance and allow it to be beneficial for one and all. May it also be a means of my salvation in the hereafter. Hadhrat Moulana Siddeeq Ahmad Baandwi Saheb [R.A.]

    To Filipinos, Jose Rizal is the greatest Filipino hero who ever lived. Many historians and scholars had written and continues to study his life and works even today. Jose Rizal traveled extensively during his lifetime in Europe, Asia and the United States, spending a lot of his time traveling in Germany. Some Filipinos think he is the most traveled of all the national heroes of the Philippines. Rizal traveled to Germany from the beginning of 1886 to mid-1887. He chronicled almost every detail of his life and travels in Germany including his travels with fellow Filipino expat Maximo Viola who joined him during the latter half of his travels. This book is written to provide and inform Filipinos about his time in Germany, the places he had seen, the places he would have seen and what became of them over the decades. Many had changed in Germany since the 1880's and the country became prominent in the history of the 20th century Europe. To our generation, Germany is a very different country from the time of Rizal both politically, economically, and culturally. This book will also discuss a short history of the various German cities Rizal visited in his travels, how he found it and its political, economic and cultural standing today. This book also offers new information about some of the places where Rizal had lived in Germany.

  • - The Origins and History of the Greek God

    *Includes pictures of important places and historic art depicting Zeus and other Greek gods. *Explains the historical origins of the god and the mythological tales about him. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "I will sing of Zeus, chiefest among the gods and greatest, all-seeing, the lord of all, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom to Themis as she sits leaning towards him. Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Cronos, most excellent and great!" - "The Hymn To Zeus", attributed to Homer Zeus is a god of apparent paradox: sublimely regal yet ridiculously fickle, a giver of laws but a slave to his own passions, a being of incredible power who is desperate to possess that which he cannot have. As the leader of the Greek pantheon on Mount Olympus, Zeus was the god of kingship (and the associated elements of law, oaths, the state and the protection of property) and the god of storms, controlling lightning, wind and thunder. In many ways, one of Ancient Greece's most complex gods is also the most understandable, since he seems so human, and because there is plenty of information about him that survived, including the original legends about his birth, his early deeds and his many relationships with other gods, lovers, and humans. Furthermore, scholars have been able to analyze the historical roots of "Zeus" as a concept, identifying what gods he is related to among other cultures, where the legends of Zeus originated, and what this information says about the Ancient Greeks. One of the reasons Zeus remains one of the most recognizable gods in history is because of the spread of his influence. Due to the conquests of Alexander the Great, Zeus was brought along with other elements of Hellenization to Egypt and the Near East, and a few centuries later, Rome all but adopted him as their own chief god, Jupiter. From there, he was exported around the Roman Empire and fused with numerous other local gods in the process. Ultimately, Zeus was a prominent god from the period of pre-recorded history until the Christianization of Greece, which was complete by the early 7th century A.D. It is difficult for modern observers to understand how a hot-headed, sex-obsessed god could command the love and admiration of so many Greeks, not to mention their cultural heirs throughout the Roman Empire. What did the worship of this god provide for his worshipers? How did belief in his existence fulfill their spiritual needs? How was he different from other members of his pantheon? This book explores the figure of Zeus, including his origins, the stories told about him, the way he was worshiped and how he is remembered today. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the Greek god like you never have before, in no time at all.
