In this debut collection, Rojas writes with lyrical clarity about the dangerous landscape in which these poems are set. From the beginning of the collection, where a "crystal-fanged night" and "unflinching stars" illume a family photo from which so many are "gone already" to the final poem where his "sea of change is reefed with wrecks" you feel the threat circling and impeding. Through this treacherous landscape, though, the speaker in these poems carries us, confesses to us, and speaks truths back to the past in a way that leaves us haunted. -- cover.

In this gothic bestseller, two young women, living centuries apart, both accused of madness, communicate across time to fight a common enemy...their doctors."It was the dog who found me."Such is the stark confession launching the harrowing scene that begins The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls as Emilie, a young musician on the verge of a bright career, attempts suicide by overdosing on the antipsychotics prescribed to treat her bipolar disorder. Upon being discovered, Emilie is revived and immediately incarcerated in a maximum-security psych ward, despite her protestations that she is not crazy, and can provide valid reasons for her actions if someone would only listen.Treated as a criminal, heavily medicated, and stripped of all freedoms, Emilie is denied communication with the outside world, and falls prey to the unwelcome attentions of Dr. Sharp, head of the hospital's psychiatry department. As Dr. Sharp grows more predatory by the day, Emilie begins a secret diary to document her terrifying experience, and to maintain her sanity in this environment that could surely drive anyone mad. But when Emilie opens her notebook to find a desperate letter from a young woman imprisoned within an insane asylum in Victorian England, and, stranger still, bearing her own name and description, a portal to another world is blasted wide open.As these letters from the past continue to appear, Emilie escapes further into this mysterious alternate reality where sisterhoods are formed, romance between female inmates blossoms, striped wallpaper writhes with ghosts, and highly intellectual rats speak the Queen's English.But is it real? Or is Emilie truly as mad as she is constantly told she is?The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls blurs harsh reality and magical historical fantasy whilst issuing a scathing critique of society's treatment of women and the mental health care industry's treatment of its patients, showing in the process that little has changed throughout the ages.Welcome to the Asylum.Are you committed?PLEASE NOTE: Only the eBook version of this book contains the real-word treasure hunt, "The Quest for the Spoon of the Royals."

Secret of Favour is Olufisayo's smooth, simplistic but very deep teaching of how we can live a more fulfilled life in God. Touching on the most basic faculties of human existence: self-knowledge, man's relationships with his fellow man and his ultimate relationship with his creator through prayer, sacrifice, good deeds and patience, you will be thrilled by the author's use of real life instances to buttress Biblical facts. How else can we compare life other than a solid structure and its attendant components which if ignored would lead to a disastrous end.

In 1878, a Jerusalem antiquities dealer named Moses Wilhelm Shapira acquired a curious biblical manuscript consisting of sixteen leather strips. The manuscript, written in ancient, Paleo-Hebrew contained what appeared to be a form of the Bible's Book of Deuteronomy but with significant variations. It was allegedly discovered by Bedouin tribesmen around 1865, east of the Dead Sea, in a remote cave, high above the Wadi Mujib (biblical Arnon). Shapira believed that his manuscript was both ancient and authentic. In 1883, he presented his scroll to the leading scholars of Europe. Newspapers around the world covered the unfolding story as scholars debated the genuineness of the leather strips. Ultimately the scroll was deemed a forgery and Shapira the forger. However, beginning in 1947, ancient scrolls discovered in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea lead us to ask-were the critics wrong? The Moses Scroll documents the details of the entire saga based upon what we know today including a chronological telling of the fascinating story based upon 19th-century reports; an assessment of the genuineness of Shapira's scroll; a new transcription of the manuscript as seen through the eyes of the 19th-century's best Hebraists; and the author's own translation of the original sixteen leather strips with a commentary and notes.

Ron, Jim, David were known as the powerbrokers of the Marquis Cartel. They were targeted for assassination by El Capo and his Cartel.

The once highly respected Marquis Cartel now sits paralyzed, waiting for its leaders to reappear.

El Movimiento Mesiánico viene de varios antecedentes. Es uno de los grupos raciales más diversos en los Estados Unidos y es considerado el movimiento "base." El Movimiento Mesiánico es un fenómeno creciente, tanto en los Estados Unidos como en el mundo entero. Muchos Cristianos tradicionales ahora están escogiendo guardar las Fiestas Bíblicas, tanto así que hay más Mesiánicos no-Judíos que Judíos. El Culto Mesiánico tiene el potencial de ser una experiencia profunda y satisfactoria. A pesar de que las Congregaciones Mesiánicas y Agrupaciones están levantándose por todo el mundo, la diversidad de religiones, etnias y antecedentes académicos hacen a cada congregación diferente, sea Judía o Gentil. No existe un patrón todo incluido para el Culto Mesiánico, así que el mejor enfoque para describirla es relatar los componentes más comunes usados en un servicio. A Messianic Shabbat service can be intimidating to the newcomer. The order of service may be unfamiliar, but it is rooted in the Jewish and First Century traditions of Yeshua and his disciples. This booklet gives a brief history of the Nazarene Jews and describes the present-day return to many First Century beliefs and observances. It also describes the diversity of the worship practices that a newcomer or visitor may encounter in a Messianic Shabbat Service. More importantly, it gives the rationale or Scriptural basis for those practices so that the participant may understand the service and leave it feeling encouraged in his or her faith.

For the longest time I was Dad 1.0. After four children, I thought I had it figured out and it was my way or the highway. However, through a series of tumultuous life events I came to realize I did not have it figured out and I needed to change. These life events humbled me and showed me the need to move from Dad 1.0 to Dad 2.0.In other words this old dog needed to learn new tricks. I needed to iterate my approach to being a father. Especially since my children were moving quickly into adulthood. If I was not careful, thoughtful and humble - I ran the risk of alienating my children and creating rifts that would be very difficult to heal. I found that being teachable and having the ability to iterate is one of the key skills needed to succeed in life. This is true in business and it is true with my family and personal pursuits as well. The Dad 2.0 process has led me to make a number of different and sometimes difficult changes in my approach to being a father. I realize when you see some of the changes I have made your reaction will most likely be - "well duh! That's obvious". While it may be obvious, it is not enough to know what to do; you have to be intentional and actually make the changes.You have to be proactive and thoughtful. To be clear - I AM NOT PERFECT! I will never be perfect. I have flaws and foibles and will forever be striving to be a better father. It is in the striving that I hope to effect positive change in my life and the lives of my children. My goal is to finish well! I know this will be a life long journey. You will note that everything in this book is focused on what you need to do to change! Believe it or not, you can only really change one person in this life - yourself. Certainly you have influence, and can lead, guide and direct others, but you can only change yourself. Because change comes from within! If you want to change someone else, then pray for them and ask God to change them. You should spend your time, energy and effort on changing yourself. I have intentionally kept this book short and simple. We live in a stressed world where time is our most precious commodity and a long and lengthy book will most likely gather dust and never be read.I hope you find this book helpful in your own journey to be a better father. Just remember this journey is a marathon and not a sprint and the journey will only end when you take your last breath. I will strive each day to finish well and I hope you will do the same.

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez qué es el veganismo? El veganismo es comprender que existe una injusticia y rechazarla. Convivimos con perros y gatos, y nos despiertan ternura los vídeos de algunos animales que podemos encontrar por internet, pero ¿cuál es en realidad nuestra relación con la mayoría de animales? Lo más habitual es que nos los comamos o los usemos para vestirnos, que compremos productos cosméticos que han sido testados en ellos, montemos a caballo o vayamos a zoos, acuarios... Lo cierto es que la sociedad ha normalizado tanto el uso de animales no humanos para nuestro beneficio que no los vemos como víctimas de ninguna injusticia, pero ¿el uso que hacemos de ellos es un acto moralmente aceptable? En este libro, Óscar L. Sánchez nos propone reflexionar sobre la relación que tenemos con los animales no humanos y además nos muestra, desde dentro, cómo son las vigilias, cubos, rescates o irrupciones, para conocer en primera persona algunas de las acciones que llevan a cabo los activistas por la liberación animal. * * *Este libro me ha empujado a dar un paso que no podía esperar más. He leído. He tragado saliva incontables veces durante su lectura. He sentido culpa, vergüenza y tristeza. Y sí, soy, a partir de ahora, un vegano más. Extracto del prólogo de Alejandro Palomas. Escritor. Premio Nadal 2018* * *Óscar L. Sánchez es un valenciano afincado en Barcelona que, hasta los 40 años, creía ser un defensor a ultranza de los animales. Pero una noche de viernes, después de cenar, vio un documental que le cambió la perspectiva, llegando a la conclusión de que todo había sido una tapadera que escondía la verdad, la cual nadie quiere conocer.Se autocuestionó, modificó sus hábitos diarios y decidió ocupar su tiempo libre, de forma activa, en ayudar coherentemente a los animales, concienciando desde la empatía y el sentido de la justicia. Desde entonces basa su activismo en acciones educativas a pie de calle y voluntariado y apoyo incondicional a los santuarios.* * *Parte de los beneficios del libro se destinan a la Fundación El Hogar Animal Sanctuary. El Hogar es una organización que rescata y recupera animales víctimas de la explotación, educa en el veganismo y lucha por los Derechos Animales y contra el especismo.

Michael had his entire future planned. He was going to propose to the love of his life and he had saved enough money to buy a house in the country. But, after a celebratory night out in the city, Michael wakes up in an underground tunnel system, the hidden network for the city's illicit activities. He's a prisoner, chained to a post. Captured. After a march through the underground tunnels, Michael is sold into servitude to a ship captain bound for Shanghai, destined for a life of misery, of invisibility, of disappearance. But, as Prohibition dawns in the United States, opportunities arise. Opportunities for gain, for loss, and for revenge.
