This book is written as a companion to: Enslaved A Chronicle of Resistance Book 1 - The Lamentation of the EnslavedEnslaved A Chronicle of Resistance Book 2 - Freedom Bells are RingingEnslaved A Chronicle of Resistance Book 3 - Hidden in Plain Sight.Poems from these books are referenced throughout this one in the following manner. In the grand tapestry of human existence, there are threads that intertwine and create patterns that shape the course of nations. One such thread, a thread born of exploitation and oppression, wound its way across continents and across time, leaving a haunting legacy of torture and injustice. But where did this thread begin? Where did it take root, growing into the wicked tree of slavery that cast its ominous shadow over humanity? The journey starts with the loss of the Amerindian slaves, a loss that set the stage for the Atlantic slave trade. As a writer and poet, I wanted to uncover and write about the truth. I wanted to help those forgotten voices bring you the story of enslavement. To give them the opportunity to tell the story of their pain and despair but also of their resilience and hope. It is a tale that needs to be told and heard, for only by understanding our past can we truly shape our future.

The Gates of Hell have opened.The earth is in ruin.The angels have abandoned humanity.Our final hope was created behind the wall.We are Nephilim.We will fight the demons and the Princes of Hell,or we will surrender our last breaths trying.Twenty-one years ago, the world ended.The Gates to Hell opened, unleashing every species of demon and monster known to man, and some yet to be discovered. Aside from a warning about the impending Armageddon a few months before, the angels abandoned humanity, leaving us to hide or die.Spoiler alert: most died. That's the apocalypse for you. It tends to be, shall we say, awful.Humans moved into strongholds built around the globe in an attempt to survive extinction. Within these walls, scientists developed genetically engineered Nephilim--half-human, half-angel--to fight the demons.My name is Zero, and I'm a Nephilim, but I'm a little...odd. Let's start with the little fact I can't stay dead. Shoot me, maim me, dismember me, disembowel me--don't recommend that one personally, it reeks--whatever death you deal me, I'll come back. I also have this thing where I can turn into a Beast and may or may not eat people.Only if they deserve it, though.Howl is the leader of the Wolf Unit, the strongest group of Nephilim humanity has ever seen. Though we were once friends, he and I now despise each other, which is fantastic when I'm finally allowed to join a Unit and fate takes a wicked turn in pairing the stone-cold Wolf Alpha and my stubborn self together on the same team. I guess we'll have to work with each other, and maybe I can figure out what went wrong between us in the first place.Will it be enough by the time the Princes of Hell spring up and start destroying entire cities?For two decades, we've been told that Hellfire is our only hope. We need to find it, or face mass extinction at the hands of the seven fallen angels of legend.But with lies around every turn, mysteries shrouded in half-truths, catastrophic situations being played down on a global scale, and those closest to me being evil in disguise, who can I really trust?We survived the Rise. Now, can we see it through to the Fall?

What is the nature of reality according to the Scriptures? What is the nature and purpose of God's creation, and of humanity within creation? Did our role change after evil entered the world in Genesis 3, or is it fundamentally the same as at creation? What is "the meaning of life" according to the Scriptures, and how can such a vision be lived out and conveyed meaningfully in our generation? These are the sorts of questions this book is beginning to address, the first fruits of more than twelve years of research at the intersection of philosophy and biblical studies. Reality According to the Scriptures is written by a Christian disciple for Christian disciples: a call for the church to get our Story straight, to find ourselves in the narrative-world of the Bible, and then do our best to play our part well.

Dr. Schechter was Dr. John Sarno's first medical doctor trainee. Dr. Sarno was Schechter's most important career mentor. Schechter took an interest in TMS as a medical student, was successfully diagnosed and treated by Dr. Sarno, and did a research study in his office suite beside Dr. Sarno. With a relationship (student, professional collegial, finally fond friend) that spanned decades, Schechter reflects on Dr. Sarno's teachings in Twelve Chapters and Eighteen Lessons. Readers have noted "intimate and humanizing vignettes", "book captures Sarno's immense contributions", "rare and fascinating glimpses". This book was written during the 100th year since Dr. Sarno was born and to honor his contributions. It also reflects the complexity of a relationship with a powerful man and innovator in his field. This book is less an idealization or hagiography than it is a reflection on learning from a mentor, dealing with the complexities of that relationship, and concluding in a sweet manner in Dr. Sarno's final years.

Since the 2017 release of three naval aviation videos of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) craft, congressional national security committees have struggled to understand the broader implications of these objects. Congress has adopted multiple rounds of legislation meant to get to the bottom of this enigma. Their efforts have been impeded by the military and intelligence community. Today's pushback has its origins in historic UFO policies. Many of these policies were established by a CIA secret panel which declared that the public's interest in UFOs will "result in a threat to the orderly functioning of the protective organs of the body politic."Threat to the Body Politic is a historical analysis of official efforts to understand these anomalous craft, up through today's congressional interest. Beginning in 1953, the CIA and Air Force combined to develop policies to denigrate UAP witnesses who challenged the official narrative that all UFO sightings were the product of mistaken identity, delusion, or hoax. Psychological warfare methods were used on Americans to hide evidence and "debunk" those who documented this mystery. Using declassified records and the testimony of government officials, Threat to the Body Politic shows how these secretive efforts began and continue to this day. The Book also recommends steps to help Congress understand the broader implications of UAP, whether man-made or not.Author James P. Lough is a retired government lawyer who wrote The UFO Briefing Book: A Congressional Guide to the UAP Phenomenon (March 2020). It predicted the need for Congress to enact multiple mandates intended to strip away the secrecy around a subject that is both publicly derided and highly classified.
