Nothing you couldn't mend with a sip or two of chardonnay, but nonetheless difficult to explain when Santa returnshome, because this Christmas Eve... Mrs. Claus Runs Amok!

This book was written in memory of a man, also known as "dad." He was not just any ordinary dad; he was the definition of a true family man. He was someone that never met a stranger and was a successful small business owner for over 35 years. As a child of a small business owner, growing up my upbringing was very unique and what I consider now to be very special. As an adult now with a family of my own, and a professional career of over 20 years working with small businesses, I wanted to share my story. A story of my dad and his journey, but also a self-help book for small business owners as they navigate starting, maintaining, and growing a business. Throughout your reading, I hope you reflect on your purpose in life. Start by asking yourself a few questions. What is your purpose in life? What are your priorities in life? If you are a small business owner, why did you start a business? Maybe you took over a family-owned business, maybe it was to support your family financially, or maybe you were just looking for a work life balance with a flexible schedule. No matter your reasoning, I hope my story can remind you of your "why" and why you keep going each and every day. People have always told me, you know how to tell a story, and you really know how to connect with people. I think back to those words, I get it honestly from my father. I also think isn't that why we are all here, to connect with one another. Dad's life purpose was to serve others, work hard, build and grow relationships, provide for his family, and have fun doing it! I am the proud child of a small business owner. I hope you enjoy this reading and thank you for allowing me to connect with you.

In his latest poetic descent into cranial madness, Z.M. Wise explores the vast, boundless illusions and verisimilitudes of what occurs during our nocturnal absence (excluding the guilty pleasures known as reveries). Composed in the form of a nonlinear epic, The Pleasant Dreamers sways like an indecisive palm tree under the influence of villainous wind, from narrative and lyrical verse to free-form, tangential dreamscapes and morbidly grotesque tribulations. It embodies the multitude of unconscious inspirations that often turns reality into a game of chance. It answers the questions that haunt our cognitive thought processes. It celebrates the welcoming of cinematic escapism of living inside one's mind, as well as the deep-seated concern of being consumed by such fantasies. In the bittersweet end, only you can determine the significance of this volume.

Taking the Ashes is the prescription for hope and comfort for those who have been broken by sexual trauma and for all those who love them.

"HOST THE HOLY GHOST: Finding Fresh Strength And Purpose In The Power Of The Holy Spirit"Are you yearning for a deeper connection with Jesus and a transformative experience of His divine power? In "Host The Holy Ghost," Charles Morris delves into our unique relationship with the Holy Spirit, guiding us to understanding His essence and presence. While we often invoke the names of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit in our prayers, it's not uncommon to overlook the third Person of the Trinity in our daily existence. Yet, as Christ ascended to heaven, He left us with the promise of the Holy Spirit-a gift that empowers us to become fearless witnesses for the kingdom of God. To rediscover the wellspring of strength and authority, Charles illustrates how to tap into the rejuvenating vigor and mission the Holy Spirit bestows upon us. Unveiling the profound significance of being baptized with the Holy Spirit, this book explains how intimacy with the Spirit is vital to cultivating boldness and purpose in our lives. These attributes are the tools that enable us to carry out the works of Jesus. Although every believer maintains a connection with the Holy Spirit, not all have ventured to unlock the profound intimacy and harness the strength, power, and purpose He offers. Why is this pursuit so crucial? The answer lies in our limitations; we seem to have questions without answers and problems without solutions. In this quest to "Host The Holy Ghost," we'll understand why the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit are indispensable in navigating life's challenges. You will learn how to: Understand The Relationship The Father Gave You With The Holy SpiritWalk In Fellowship With HimSeek, Receive, And Cultivate The Baptism With The Holy SpiritOperate In His Power And AnointingIdentify Why Our Lord Does Not Send You Out Without The Anointing And The Power Of The Holy SpiritDiscern The True Manifestations Of The SpiritExperience A Biblical, Spirit-Filled Life.Carry The Atmosphere Of Heaven Wherever You Go.Operate In The Manifestation Gifts As We Yield To The Spirit Of God.We cannot afford to live outside of God's presence.

Beautifully illustrated with simple vocabulary, The Children's Book of Flowers by Green Fig peaks the child's interest in the world around him and reinforces his understanding that the universe is made up of bodies and their attributes and that God, the Creator of the universe, does not resemble any of His creations-God does not have any attributes of the bodies. We chose flowers to exemplify a body since children frequently see flowers around them and are able to relate easily to a flower's different attributes. This Book encourages children to ponder about nature and God's creations- an important matter since this increases their faith in God and strengthens their understanding of Tawheed. Children will also gain some information about flowers in the process and will enjoy doing the activities provided at the end of the book.

Ever been tickled by a tentacle? Neither had he... I'm a kraken, but that's a secret between you and me, okay? Don't go betraying me or I might blame you for slaying me. Well, you and whichever trophy hunter thinks they can take me down.I'm just on land to graduate from Slaymore Academy with honors-how hard can it be?Turns out... really, really hard. *wink wink* Regardless, I'm determined to stay focused. I'm going to learn from the best so I can return to the Bering Sea and make it safer for all the species who call it home.It's important that I closely guard my secret, so that when I reveal myself, I can prove the point that krakens aren't the mindless monsters we've been made out to be.>But Fate's an evil son-of-a-you-know-what who's been meddling in my business. Now, I've caught the eye of the campus' golden boy... and he's determined to find a way past my barriers and into my heart.Poor guy has no idea what he's getting into. Will he accept me when he learns the truth?And most importantly... I wonder how he feels about tentacles? Krammin' With A Kraken is the first book in the Slaymore Academy series. The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom... and other places.Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA... so no cliffhangers! Also, some of the girls may pop up in each other's books. Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.
