Guardian angels often appear most when they are least expected, but
more often when and where they are needed most. They remind us that
life is good and there are people who care. It was with those
sentiments in mind that non-profit Wings for Injured Athletes, Inc.
was started and spread its wings in 2011 with the creation of a
"Cancer, One Day at a Time" inspirational book.

and cancer patients, survivors and caregivers are extremely
ingenious when it comes to positive thinking. This "Cancer, One Day
at a Time" keepsake book includes insightful, thought provoking and
stimulating quotes from cancer survivors, patients and caregivers
from around the world. They come from the United States, Australia,
Mexico, Sweden, Canada and London. The passages are humorous,
entertaining, educational and heartfelt.

funds raised will be donated to a various cancer causes and
charities, allowing those who have experienced cancer firsthand to
share their struggles, successes, losses and thoughts. There is a

is enduring and everlasting.

Single women Are you really ready for marriage? I thought I was;
until, I submitted my will to God for His purpose in my life. As
single women of God, we have been tainted through the years by
societal misconceptions about the institution of marriage. The
trials and tribulations of life have altered our perception of
ourselves. Our centers of influences have warped our perspective of
the man God desires for us as a husband. God has purpose for each
and every one of us. If we are willing and obedient, we can obtain
His blessing. Preparation for being ready for marriage can be labor
intensive or it can be an inheritance. Your path of your journey is
in your hands as to when you will labor or inherit the blessings of
God. This book is my living testimony of the preparation I went
through in order to be able to receive the promise of my Father. In
your makeover, God will ensure that you are whole and complete as a
woman before you are ready to be given to one of His sons.
From 18th Century poetry up to modern 3D cinema, the vampire has
developed a genre in its own right. Leaving behind its roots in
phantasmagoria and horror, taking in romance, action and adventure,
as well as flights of science fiction fantasy and political
allegory. The vampire is a part of all these fields of artistry and
beyond them, a melting pot of imagination and invention that has
captivated audiences around the world. In the first part of this
volume, Andrew M. Boylan - author of the famous vampire blog
Taliesin Meets the Vampires, looks at the genesis of the vampire
genre from Ossenfelder's poem Der Vampir to Bram Stoker's seminal
novel Dracula. The second part of the book spreads eclectically out
from Dracula, just as the genre spread, taking in some famous
kissing cousins of the genre as well as looking at the vampire's
changing relationship with the divine and following the toothsome
bloodsuckers out into space.
