A young boy and a young girl would sense a call to serve God but
lose their way in their teenage and young adult years. God in His
mercy had set a date in time when these two would meet on a blind
date. They would carry loneliness and pain into this budding
relationship but what had been instilled in the young woman would
direct them back to God's planned pathway. This is a story of young
love that struggles to find the way as the past and present
intertwine ushering in the issues of life's challenges. There is a
gradual, but continual change in priorities as the blessing of
their relationship with each other and God grows despite the trials
that come their way. It becomes clear to them that the God they
serve is involved in their lives. This recognition brings a walk of
obedience. The gifts of greater faith and trust in God are received
as He reveals His desire for a deeper, more intimate walk with
them. Your faith, trust and conception of God will be challenged
and enriched by this testimony of two lives walked with the Master
The purpose of this book is to initiate a new discussion on liberty
focusing on the infinite realms of space. The discussion of the
nature of liberty and what it means for a human to be free has
occupied the minds of thinkers since the Enlightenment. However,
without exception, every one of these discussions has focused on
the character of liberty on the Earth. The emergence of human space
exploration programs in the last 40-50 years raise a fundamental
and new question: what will be the future of liberty in space? This
book takes the discussion of liberty into the extraterrestrial
environment. In this book, new questions will be addressed such as:
Can a person be free when the oxygen the individual breathes is the
result of a manufacturing process controlled by someone else? Will
the interdependence required to survive in the extremities of the
extraterrestrial environment destroy individualism? What are the
obligations of the individual to the extraterrestrial state? How
can we talk of extraterrestrial liberty when everyone is dependent
on survival systems?
Whether you realize it or not, God's people are involved in a
spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. Satan has come as
a thief "To Steal," "To Kill," & "To Destroy." God never
intended for His people to be fearful of Satan, his demonic
attacks, or threats. Jesus death, burial, and resurrection gave
believers victory over Satan and his demonic influences in their
lives. Through Jesus life's example we can cast out demons, rebuke
Satan, and take authority over the powers of darkness. God has
equipped every believer with all the necessary weapons and armor to
defeat the enemy. I admonish you to discover the truth through
God's word and begin to declare the word over your life so that
every chain of bondage, generational curse, bad habit(s), and old
mind-sets can be broken off your life.
Baring-Gould's eye-opening history of lycanthropy - the werewolf
curse - delves deep into the lore, unearthing various historical
cases, several of which date back to Ancient or Medieval times. The
concept of a human transforming into a wolf has ancient origins,
with several Greek and Roman authors such as Virgil, Ovid,
Herodotus and Pliny raising the concept in their poetry and other
writings. Rumors of sorcery that could induce a human to change was
attributed to magicians in far off places such as Scythia, and such
beliefs were widely held. Later, the Norse civilization's mythology
introduced lycanthropy and other kinds of transformation. Humans as
wolves, bears, birds and other beasts were said to appear in the
northern wilds; the Norse God Odin took the form of a bird on
regular occasions. Berserker warriors would clad themselves in wolf
skins; Bj rn, son of Ulfheoin, was famed for his ability to shift
between human and wolf forms.
Have you ever been awakened at night to see an ethereal figure at
the foot of your bed? Have your faucets turned on and of as if
guided by an unseen hand? If you enjoy telling or reading such
tales, this book of true ghost stories is made for you. North
Country media personality Gordie Little has collected and told
ghost stories for many years. Now for the first time, he has
selected over thirty of his best stories for publication in Ghosts
of Clinton County.
These are the times of change, the times of transformation and
insecure confusion, the result of the ever increasing new
technologies replacing the olden moral and ethical concepts being
replaced with Negative concepts which provide no foundation for
enduring peace of mind and daily contentment. And the Fakers and
deceivers are among us and none of their teachings are based upon
truth knowledge. This small book is not based on any religious or
spiritual belief systems. It presents The Universal Truth Knowledge
and the many millions of people with this knowledge have not the
ego to spread this knowledge worldwide to tell people how to live
their life as religions and spiritual belief systems do. There is
nothing in this book to request compliance with the knowledge
herein, nothing that is in conflict with religious or spiritual
beliefs. This book reveals who and what is the Creator (known as
God), the Spiritual Realm in which God and spiritual entities
(Angels) exist, and how they function. It also defines the physical
realm, the why of it's creation, the how and why of human's
creation and human's purpose in this physical realm. It defines the
Universal life Energy (known as the soul) and how human in easy,
simple, fun way can use the function and abilities within this
energy to live a daily life of only the joy and happiness. Live a
daily life in Joyous Harmony and Loving Harmony as defined in this
small book. And the knowledge herein will answer any question human

Have you ever wondered what could happen when we discover another
communicating species outside the Earth? This book addresses this
question in all its complexity. In addition to the physical
barriers for communication, such as the enormous distances where a
message can take centuries to reach its recipient, the book also
examines the biological problems of communicating between species,
the problems of identifying a non-Terrestrial intelligence, and the
ethical, religious, legal and other problems of conducting
discussions across light years. Most of the book is concerned with
issues that could impinge on your life: how do we share experiences
with ETI? Can we make shared laws? Could we trade? Would they have
religion? The book addresses these and related issues, identifying
potential barriers to communication and suggesting ways we can
overcome them. The book explores this topic through reference to
human experience, through analogy and thought experiment, while
relying on what is known to-date about ourselves, our world, and
the cosmos we live in.
In 1988, in an article on the analysis of the measurements of the
variations in the radial velocities of a number of stars, Campbell,
Walker, and Yang reported an - teresting phenomenon;the radial
velocity variations of Cephei seemed to suggest the existence of a
Jupiter-like planet around this star. This was a very exciting and,
at the same time, very surprising discovery. It was exciting
because if true, it would have marked the detection of the ?rst
planet outside of our solar system. It was surprising because the
planet-hosting star is the primary of a binary system with a
separation less than 19 AU, a distance comparable to the planetary
distances in our solar system. The moderatelyclose orbit of the
stellar companionof Cephei raised questions about the reality of
its planet. The skepticism over the interpretation of the results
(which was primarily based on the idea that binary star systems
with small sepa- tions would not be favorable places for planet
formation) became so strong that in a subsequent paper in 1992,
Walker and his colleagues suggested that the planet in the Cephei
binary might not be real, and the variations in the radial velocity
of this star might have been due to its chromospheric activities.

This book describes a wide variety of speculations by many
authors about the consequences for humanity of coming into contact
with extraterrestrial intelligence. The assumptions underlying
those speculations are examined, and some conclusions are drawn.
The book emphasizes the consequences of contact rather than the
search, and takes account of popular views. As necessary
background, the book also includes brief summaries of the history
of thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence, searches for life
and for signals, contrasting paradigms of how contact might take
place, and the paradox that those paradigms allegedly create.
