What secrets do you keep? What shadows lie buried within your heart? Shadows of the Heart is the unforgettable story of Katherine Alexander, a young woman, whose mother remarried after losing her husband at a young age. Just a few years later, Katherine watches as her mother withers away from cancer. As Katherine graduates from high school she finds it impossible to continue to hide her past as she becomes romantically involved with Brandon Howard. Brandon has loved Katherine since they were children, but has never been able to get past the barriers she seems to wrap around herself. Without understanding what he's done, Brandon triggers feelings in Katherine that take them on a journey that will plumb the depths of their hearts and souls. In time Katherine realizes she must risk losing Brandon as she faces the horrors of her past, and that his decisions will determine if their love really can last forever. As her life unfolds, Katherine comes to realize that no matter where her footsteps may take her, the atonement of Jesus Christ can heal even the most battered heart and soul.
Folklore has been a phenomenon based on nostalgic and autochthonous nuances conveyed with a story-telling technique with a penchant for over-playing and nationalistic pomp and circumstance, often with significant consequences for societal, poetic, and cultural areas. These papers highlight challenges that have an outreaching relationship to the regional, rhetorical, and trans-rhetorical devices and manners in Kurdish folklore, which subscribes to an ironic sense of hope all the while issuing an appeal for a largely unaccomplished nationhood, simultaneously insisting on a linguistic solidarity. In a folkloric literature that has an overarching theory of poetics - perhaps even trans-figurative cognitive poetics due to the multi-faceted nature of its application and the complexity of its linguistic structure - the relationship of man (and less frequently woman) with others takes center stage in many of the folkloric creations. Arts are not figurative representations of the real in the Kurdish world; they are the real.
Jervis Sharp Zimmerman was born in Harvey, Illinois in 1922. He graduated from the University of Illinois with High Honors in English and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Thereafter he prepared for the Christian ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and was ordained in 1945 by the Presbytery of Chicago. He subsequently earned a Master's degree in counseling psychology at the University of Chicago. In 1953, after studying at Berkeley Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut he was ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut in which he continues serving. From 1954 to l967 he was Rector of Christ Church, West Haven, Connecticut where Oliver Prescott served in l866 and l867. It was this fact which sparked the author's interest in Prescott which led to this biography. Prescott was an early and ardent advocate for the Catholic revival in the Episcopal Church. As a priest he was in constant difficulty with his bishop, both for his doctrine and his liturgical usage. With his protege, Charles Grafton, he was an early member of the Society of St.John the Evangelist, the first modern monastic community for men in the Church of England.

I wonder what the Samaritan woman who met Jesus at Jacob's Well was like. What were the circumstances that led to her being there, drawing water in the heat of the day? The New Testament does not give us much background on the people involved in some of the familiar stories. This book brings those characters to life by letting the reader imagine what their life might have been like. Consider Joseph as a man wondering how he got himself into a situation where he and his pregnant wife were traveling to Bethlehem. What happened at the birth of Jesus from the perspective of another guest in the Inn? Did the jailer in Philippi have a son? If he did, how might he have viewed the events that happened while Paul was a prisoner? A Centurion had a servant who was ill. What was the relationship between the Centurion and the servant? How did the Centurion happen to get sent to Galilee? These stories take New Testament stories as a starting place and consider a different possibility. They will challenge you to think again about the people who might have met Jesus in person.

The process of finding ones self, or self worth becomes tedious, when there is no one there to direct or to give instruction of purpose and destiny; or mainly the identity, of the person with the crisis. Prophet Rodney will testify that when he experienced the disarray of life, there was much unexplained emotional pain. Feelings of repeated rejection, molested at age eight by a very close family member. He became overwhelmed with life and the uncertainty that it brings. Avenues of promiscuity opened and were vastly available. Many times we in the Body of Christ compromise the word of God through conversations with satanic voices of rebellion assigned to us from Satan. Satan has assigned voices to cause us to fall from the will of God in disobedience of the Word known to us. Satan desires to lead you to see opposite of what God wants you to see; and that strips us from position, of such is what happened to him (Satan).

This book is comprised of a compendium of motivational essays that are intended to stimulate the mind and stir the heart toward sensing the magnificence of the Almighty Lord, Allah (Glory be to Him, the Most High), as also to experience the beauty and wisdom of Islam, and to imbibe the principles and precepts of life taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The style of these discourses is generally intended to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims on the spirit and values of Islam, and on recognizing humanity and human attributes within oneself, as well as to share Islamic ethics, morality, philosophies, and principles so as to promote the understanding of Islam and to illuminate the purpose of life. Each essay is motivated by several particularly insightful verses from the Qur'an and traditions and sayings of the Prophet, which in themselves are enlightening to read and reflect upon.

This timeless collection nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit. It is "a book to read and reread forever.” (Irish Times)
Julene grew up in a prominent family with godly virtues but when tragedy struck it tore them apart. She became a victim of physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Even though she was elevated to stardom that did not heal her severed heart, she learned that the cure to her crisis was not the money or the men but rather it is God. She discovered that God is the healer who mends everything that is broken and breathes life into everything that is dead. He gave her a reason to keep on living, and looking beyond her past failures and moving into the victories that He prepared for her.
For thousands of years humans looked to the stars for navigation, deities, personality insights, predictions and omens about the future. What can we learn from these heavenly bodies? The Bible says that the Lord placed them there as faithful witnesses to mark the seasons, the days, and the times. The Bible also tells of Wise Men from the east that followed a star to Bethlehem to find a king. What other events might be revealed by the movement of the stars and planets? Is there more hidden in the stars? Is there a Star Code?
The deception of Satan that there are many ways to God is heard in every quarter today from many prominent individuals. However, that does not mean that it is true. Jesus said of Himself, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Only one way, not many ways, is available for sinful humanity; and because of their sin, only God Himself could provide that way. Sin caused alienation and separation from a holy God, making it totally impossible for humankind to stand in His presence. He did, through the shedding of His Son's precious, sinless blood, make redemption available to the whole world. The blood of Jesus runs through the entire eternal plan of God for salvation; there is no other way |
