Ohio's Miami Valley region has a rich and sometimes frightening
history. Author Jennifer Eblin explores the chilling origins of
such ghosts as the haunt of Xenia's Eden Hall and the specter
rumored to be the restless soul of a murder victim peering from the
Daniel Hertzler House in Springfield. Readers will wander the halls
of the Piqua Hotel with a departed waiter and catch a show at
Middletown's Sorg Opera House with the apparition that never misses
a performance. From the raucous poltergeist of Warren County's
Golden Lamb that is known to shriek and knock paintings from the
walls to unearthly groans emanating from the gallows at Montgomery
County's old courthouse, Eblin reveals the eerie legends and
strange stories of the Miami Valley.
Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . 'An authentically
soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.' MATT HAIG 'On Connection is
medicine for these wounded times.' MAX PORTER 'On Connection came
to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have
to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'
CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS This is a book about connection. About how
immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater
self-awareness and bring us closer to each other. Drawing on two
decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest
champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to
practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper
relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we
live in. Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On
Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform
the way you see the world. 'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER

“My message is simple and not confined by borders: You Can Heal Your
Life has been translated into over 40 languages throughout the world
and continues to heal, transform and empower the lives of so many
people.
To those of you who may be new to using affirmations, I’d like to share
with you the following: Every thought we think and every word we speak
creates our future. Life is really very simple. What we give out, we
get back.
What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. I believe that
everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives,
the best and the worst.
Affirmations are like seeds that you plant and expect to grow. I urge
you to discover the power of affirmations as there are no limits to
what they can bring.
All is well, you are safe. Life loves you, and so do I.”
—Louise Hay

This book is an immersive experience into the delights of foraging in
Spring, written by one of Britain's most respected foragers. Forage In
Spring celebrates the top fifteen edible and medicinal wild plants
found in March, April and May. It's a comprehensive exploration of
their past and present uses as food and medicine. An invaluable
addition to any forager, herbalist, gardener, horticulturist or
naturalist's library, providing plant-lovers with a much-needed
resource to understanding nature's most useful wild plants. Inside,
you'll discover the forgotten story of Alexanders, Brooklime, Cleavers
(Goosegrass), Dandelion, Garlic Mustard, Ground Elder, Ground Ivy,
Plantain, Primrose, Ramsons (Wild Garlic), Sea Beet, Sorrel,
Sowthistle, Stinging Nettle and Violet. Plants have stories that
reconnect us to the Land and the rest of Nature. As our society becomes
ever more disconnected, there is a revivalist movement flourishing like
a rhizome. This ancient path of the forager reconnects us to the vital,
to wildness, to creation, to what is in effect the very pulse of life
itself. One of the most direct ways to experience this is to consume
this wildness. Take it into our bodies, where like a sleeper agent, it
lies dormant until you have eaten enough to change the structure of
your blood, thereby changing your brain and how you relate to the
non-human world. For it is this simple act. The act of taking wild food
and medicine into our body, that in time becomes so transformative.
Forage In Spring is not a harking back to some naive, romantic vision
of how we might once have lived. Instead, these plants' stories are a
way to help you sense into the future and understand our ecological
function (as a species) within the world.
Covers forty eight wild edible and medicinal plants of Britain and
Ireland.
Includes multiple full-colour photographs of each plant to help make
identification easy.

wild plants. Uncovering how our ancestors used plants to nourish and
heal themselves.
I’ve spent thousands of hours digging through scientific papers, read
hundreds of books. Even gone so far as to be nomadic for over a year.
During this time I followed the seasons and plants around the highways
and byways of these isles.
I have written this book to help you rediscover our forgotten plant
heritage. To learn how to use wild plants as food and medicine.
Knowledge that was once common to everyone.
Why is suffering the common lot of all people everywhere - believers
and non-believers alike - and why does it seem that the world is out of
control when it comes to the problem of pain and suffering?
These are not easy questions, and in reality, you will never know the
answers completely until you see our Lord face to face in heaven.
Nevertheless, the Bible does give you some answers.
Who’s in Charge of a World that Suffers? includes an informative and
inspirational new introduction by Franklin Graham that speaks to
today’s reader in the midst of painful circumstances.
In this book, originally titled Till Armageddon, world-renowned
evangelist Billy Graham uncovers the clues the scriptures offer you to
this universal question--the question of suffering. Readers will
discover what the Bible says about:
- Why Christians are not exempt from suffering
- Living above your circumstances
- The place of prayer in suffering
- God’s promises for those who suffer
- And much more
Christians are called to learn what it means to trust God in every
circumstance, and to live for Him no matter what comes our way. It is
essential to think more clearly about suffering, and to rearrange your
priorities so that when your personal armageddons come, you will not be
taken by surprise or be unprepared. Christian readers, pastors, Bible
study leaders, and anyone questioning where God fits into suffering
will find encouragement in this message of hope for a broken world.

well every day A is for attitude. B is for balance. C is for
