Have you ever heard of something that peaked your interest? That's
how this book came about. Daniel 10:1. One word stood out for me
and that was the word "but." I stopped reading the paragraphs and
began to read the word. The Bible tells us to study to show thyself
approved a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth, discerning God's will for your live. This on
verse took me on a journey that enlightened me and empowered me.
Take a walk through the pages. I promise you it will peak your
interest.
Poems, prn (Latin: pro re nata) is a compilation of recent poems by
Larry Troxel. He separated them into two groupings; the first
consisting of poems that are more about the lighter and serious
sides of life, and the sweet feelings and inspiration that evolve
there from. From those selections his associate James Atkinson, an
accomplished musician and composer, has created and recorded
beautiful songs on a CD Music and Poetry From the Heart, with poems
such as My Soul, The Flowers Say, Touchings, and Waves. The second
group is poems that paint, in the brightest colors, his
religiosity, principals of faith, devotion and church. It is his
hope that some may find what he has written to be interesting,
agreeable, and maybe even inspiring, prn.
This book began ... as a collection of poems and tributes, shared
with friends and family, that I finally had the courage to
complete. I tend to be garrulous in person, but brief in writing.
Hence, this is a small book of the biggest ideas I've had -- at
least big enough to make note of them in verse. These pieces do not
rhyme. My goal is the expression of a pure and often fleeting
thought; one that touches the heart and reverberates truth in some
form. The book can be read in any sequence: OUTSIDE... Love,
commitment and romance INSIDE... Personal enlightenment and
challenge AROUND... Time and holidays ABOVE... Tributes and
memorials BEYOND... Spiritual and human development May you find
here an insight that echoes along your pathway. ...And let me know

disappointments, failures, discontent, depression, and disharmony
are encountered daily, we can now embark, in this Book, on a

Peace, to become compassionate, wise, happy and eventually
enlightened human beings, by the grace of God.
Stephanie Gurley shares her story of living a self-absorbed life
while trying to acquire her dreams. To acquire those dreams would
require running a race daily as a wife and mother. Nearly at hand,
her dream became her survival, as she was diagnosed with a brain
tumor. God offered her the ultimate race to run in, a race that was
intended for all to participate in. It was a race that took her far
to overcome insecurity, wounds, and fears, as God transformed her
prideful, hardened heart into moldable clay. It was a heart that
began to desire the Word of the Lord and every morsel it had to
offer. It was a heart that ultimately became refreshed in His
spirit, leading her to the calling of writing this book. She obeyed
the Lord. She was not to let her testimony sit on a shelf at home.
She says, "Obedience is what matters." Come with Stephanie to see
some of the things God has shown her. You can begin your journey
crossing one stepping stone at a time, whether it is in your
spiritual walk, personal walk, or a ministry. It is her prayer that
you will be led to become refreshed in His spirit Grab hold of the
seeds along the way, and begin to bloom.
This Book makes us aware of spiritual warfare in a way that many
people will never tell you by exposing daily spiritual violence and
difficulties that people are faced with in their lives at different
levels. Maria shares her experiences of how the Lord healed and
delivered her when the doctors could not, and how she kept her
deliverance. She shared the journey to her visitation from the Lord
and what happened next, bringing to light the power of dreams and
visions. The book talks about open doors that can cause the devil
to have legal right in your life that you may not recognize, hidden
fears, mind battles and much more.
This interdisciplinary study introduces readers to Friedrich
Schleiermacher's diverse pathways of reflection and creative
practice that are related to the field of translation. By drawing
attention to Schleiermacher's various writings on a range of
subjects (including philology, criticism, hermeneutics, dialectics,
rhetoric and religion), the author makes it clear that the
frequently cited lecture UEber die verschiedenen Methoden des
UEbersetzens (On the Different Methods of Translating) represents
but a fraction of Schleiermacher's contributions to modern-day
insights into translation. The analysis of Schleiermacher's various
pathways of reflection on translation presented in this book leads
to the conclusion that translation is part of the essence of the
world, as it is a fundamental tool of our cognition and a
foundation of our existence. In Schleiermacher's works, transfer,
translation, mediation, and communication underpin our very
existence in the world and our self-awareness. At the same time,
they represent fundamental categories for a project that focuses on
the consolidation and assimilation - through translation - of that
which is foreign, different, diverse.
When Alfred Schwab was given the opportunity to meet a "contact"-an
incorporeal entity who had been communicating with someone Alfred
barely knew-he was skeptical, to say the least. But his curiosity
and open mind encouraged him to at least explore the
possibility.Orifi, a non-physical being with a special affection
for humans, was willing and able to share his insights from beyond
our understanding. Over the course of many years, he and Alfred
shared countless conversations filled with humor and earthly
give-and-take. Orifi shared generously about our reality, fate,
free will, health, love, religion, and our physical world-past,
present, and future. When Alfred was faced with unimaginable
tragedy in the death of his child, he turned to Orifi for guidance
and hope. And what Orifi shared allowed the grieving father to view
his life experiences in a new and optimistic way. "You are never
alone," Orifi promised his friend, and that sentiment rings through
Alfred's story and words.
