The scars of our pains, hurts, frustrations, and inner-most anger are the bedrocks to the birth of "e;THE DISFIGURED MASK!"e; Too often, the chariot of emotional instability is our voice and vessel that unleashes our human-animal within!Irrespective of the color of our skin, like a ticking time bomb we lay await for something, someone to aggravate the anger and hurt that stain like sin. Unveil the masks and you will see, some angry souls in deep misery; for even though we smile so bright in our lives there is no light!I pray that this book, THE DISFIGURED MASK, would be very instrumental in not only taming the "e;human-animal"e; within us, but transform our thoughts and actions to be more loving to each other; in our society and domestic relationships!

We are currently in a period of recuperation from sexual abuse scandals throughout the country. Although the media tends to focus on the Catholic Church's role in these situations, it is actually a worldwide issue involving protagonists from many different organizations; it's just that Catholicism is much larger than any other organization, so the offenses seem more prolific than in other agencies. The Catholic Church is attempting to create procedures so that these situations never happen again, and to provide financial recompense to victims. Abusers misused their religious authority to perform these vile deeds; however, it now has become a fad to falsely accuse priests of sexual molestation in an attempt to get money, by playing on the sympathies of diocese authorities. Even after statute of limitations is passed, diocese protocol allows for such payments. Falsely accused priests are the new victims in this crisis. Abuse by high-level clergy in Catholicism has really brought disaster on the Church. Jesus told his future disciples, "e;I will make you fishers of men."e; The current false allegations in search of blood money are starting to smell more like rotten fish, and I don't think that was what Jesus wanted for the end result of his priests' efforts. Blood Money parallels the story of the Passion of Jesus with the current betrayals faced by ordained Catholic priests, as well as similar situations faced by other people in secular circumstances.

Imagine members of Congress who don't crave media attention. Imagine people who are so beloved within the institution that negative sentiment is non-existent. Finally, imagine folks for whom reaching across the aisle to craft comprehensive legislation is second nature. In Beloved Workhorses, one doesn't have to imagine. A number of former members of the U.S. House of Representatives encompassed all three traits and thrived. Why? Because they were salt-of-the-earth men and women with remarkable personal stories. Beloved Workhorses portrays them.

Many academics write books about religious literacy, but few people outside of the ivy halls read them. The non-academic does not want to invest ample time reading the minutia, which they often contained. This book is a quick, non-academic read. First, it tells why it is critical to know about religion, even if you do not practice, are an agnostic, or even an atheist. Corporate America needs to know about religion too since they make policies that affect employees of different beliefs and frequently come under public scrutiny. Then the book helps you become literate by providing a quick study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The failure to know about religion can be costly financially, socially, and politically. Success demands that we become literate -- fast.

A mysterious disease called Maclaria is randomly taking the lives of the species Cleomenes on planet Epsilon. As more and more Cleomenes become infected, desperation begins to take over logic. The rebels believe that the leaders of Epsilon are infecting innocent Cleomenes as a way of controlling population. They will stop at nothing to try to take down the base where the leaders live, but by taking down the base, they are only sabotaging any chance of finding a cure. With the world looking to Captain Viktor Demetrious for answers, it can be more than one man can take. Captain Viktor believes that the cure can be found outside their planet's shield. The shield that they unfortunately cannot get through without disintegrating. As Viktor becomes closer to finding a cure, he realizes he will not be able to do it without the help of his gifted niece Zara Demetrious, and he becomes desperate to motivate her. Just how far will he go? And what will he cause her to give up for the greater good of the planet? After Viktor reveals a lifelong secret on how they found just enough antidote to cure one Cleomene, it leaves Zara with a moral decision on whether or not she wants to take on the mission. Will she risk the lives of an innocent species outside their planet to save Cleomenes? As Zara's passion for finding a cure grows stronger, she comes across a discovery that forces her to make a decision between losing her best friend Delsin, or continue with her uncle Viktor's mission. As the rebels increase in size and strength, time is running out, and detrimental decisions that affect the lives of many have to be made. With a love triangle forming during the heat of the battle, and the weight of the world now resting on Zara's shoulders, her life will never be the same.

Navigating the church construction process can be a daunting task for a seasoned professional and even more so for a first time project manager. In his book, Terry Harpool discusses many of the aspects of this process beginning with prayer. Prayer is an absolutely essential requirement in seeking God's will from the very start of the project to its completion. Paramount to the success of the construction process is the selection of a qualified project manager to oversee the construction. This is vital, along with selecting a group of church experts, to help provide the needed inputs for requirements and budget. The book also provides tips on how to select the most qualified architect and general contractor based on the specific needs of the church. This ensures the building is specifically designed to meet church requirements and that it can be built on time and on budget. Also in the book, there is a discussion of the bid letter contents. These include special instructions to the general contractor, which help outline the parameters of the project and also prevents confusion during the construction phase. The book discusses many of the pitfalls that can occur during the construction phase with valuable insight on how to avoid these pitfalls. Additionally, there is a discussion of the dreaded "e;change order"e; and how it can impact the project. The critical relationship of "e;time, quality, and money"e; is addressed in the book, providing insight of how these three elements are interrelated in church construction. And finally, the book emphasizes the importance of giving thanks to God for the successful completion and celebration of the new church building. With project completion, the ultimate realization for the project manager is knowing that he has laid up treasure for his faithfulness in a job "e;well done."e;

Being in the fight game for over forty years, I thought that is was the perfect time to write a book to educate young athletes on the dos and don'ts of any sport, be it boxing or baseball, when entering into the professional ranks, as well as the business side of it. I have seen too many professional athletes make millions of dollars, only to wind up completely broke in many cases after their respected careers are over or, in some instances, even before they are over. In today's world of sports and business, you need to be educated on the many details that you do not get taught in the portals of higher education. The waters are infested with sharks who are looking to take advantage of many young athletes when it comes to finances and sports; it has been this way, especially in boxing, since the dawn of the sport. Unprotected will give you the insight and vision that you will need to navigate your career in a direction that will protect and educate you, so that you do not wind up as another professional athlete who makes the national news of going broke. All my best to you as you read this book, and may you be blessed no matter what endeavor you path that you choose in life.

I have written on the importance of greeting and honoring each season in order to deepen one's spirituality. It took me years of wanting to do this earnestly myself, to be able to understand what a diff erence it makes between existing and living a full life in tune with the God of all seasons. I try to reach out to all those who, like me, would love to have more time to appreciate the subtle changes each season brings and thereby "e;pay attention"e; to divine messages contained therein. What I discovered is what I want to share: It is a relatively simple transition to go from the blurry passage of time to slowing down just long enough to be a Noticer! I especially want to share this discovery with those of the younger generation of adults who it seems to me are so hungry for meaning and purpose. In the book, which I tentatively entitled, "e;A Seasoned Life,"e; I try to describe the gift of each season, what to notice, and how to greet it, honor it, "e;keep"e; it, and how learning to do that enriches our lives. Each chapter ends with a few poems and songs that celebrate it, decorating ideas that help greet that season, and recipes that have been longtime favorites I look forward to each time that season rolls around. Becoming a grandmother was an opportunity to pass on to my two grandsons and three granddaughters the many simple and delightful ways I slow down long enough to enjoy each approaching and lasting season. Th is book is an opportunity to expand the number of people I could gift with these practices beyond my children, grandchildren, and former students, retreat participants and spiritual directees. My hope is that younger readers of the book might discover the richness of what I propose long before the age I was when I finally understood its wisdom!

Everyone loves a yummy dessert, but not everyone loves baking it. Fortunately, with THIS cookbook, you can bake your "e;cake"e; and eat it too. The author of Baked With Love, Madelaine Rose McShannock, specifically chose to share these twenty-two intricate but easy to follow mouthwatering recipes so that anyone can become a baker. Since gluten-free goodies often have the impression of being bland and dry, each recipe is also crafted in a way to taste equally as good with or without gluten. From her succulent Ring Around the Rosey Cake to her delectable Cup of Joe cookies and pleasing-to-one's-tastebuds Pie Pops, Madelaine aspired to create delicious pastries with decadent gluten-free versions that would complement the original baked goods rather than be considered mere second tier alternatives. In the words of famous baker, Mary Berry, a sweet treat must be "e;Absolutely Scrummy!"e; While using countless cups of flour, handfuls of sugar, and a vast assortment of flavors, Madelaine discovered that whether there is gluten in the recipe or not, nothing can be baked to perfection if it is not baked with love.

Not everyone has a dream, but everyone who has a dream wants to know what it means! This book helps you get to the meaning in a way that has YOUR signature on it. Many dreams are personal and have their own signature, a language all its own. Find your signature and find out what your dreams are saying to you. This book is simple in nature but powerful in application. It is designed to take with you and refer to when you need it. To guide you into that meaning and interpretation in a way that cause you to know you are doing all you can do to get to the right road, to be the best you can be! Jesus said to his disciples at times, "e;It is I, be not afraid."e; Sometimes dreams can be intimidating, this book breaks things down in an everyday way so you can hear what the message is, what God is saying. Genesis 40:8 says God is the interpreter of dreams, but He uses man to convey what He is saying. In a world of increasing dreams and visions I pray this book inspires you to dig a little deeper to find the meaning of your dreams.

If you are a high school basketball coach, you are probably just like me. Most of my life I attended clinic after clinic listening to famous college coaches tell me about their programs. I purchased books and read as many philosophies as a young man could read. I watched so many hours of video. I knew offense and defense as good as any coach in my field but wasn't really getting the results I wanted. But then I realized my approach was totally wrong. I don't have the talent pool the college coaches have at all. Most of my players were home grown ordinary athletes straight from my own elementary schools. That's when I began to streamline my own personalized program. My program would fit my needs and the needs of my student athletes. It would not only make me happy, but it would keep me excited about the game of basketball. So, what did I do? I developed a book that could help the ordinary coach find his own philosophy. Inside you will find snippets that will not only keep you enthused about the game, but it will remind you of what is important in the day to day operations of your own program. Look inside and remind yourself why you love the great game of basketball.

Through divine intervention, The God of Jesus Christ was given by God to Bishop DeVaughn to bring proper understanding to the Jews and Christians alike of the true identity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth according to the scriptures. This Godsent book serves the purpose on bringing recognition unto the people of God that the church and it's gentile dispensation is coming toward its end, for the fulfillment of that which was spoken of is now fully at hand, "e;that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in"e; (Rom. 11:25).No one can escape God's truth, whether we be Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, intelligent or ignorant. The God of Jesus Christ gives an additional light to the messianic, a helping crossover for the orthodox, and a better understanding to the Christian believer. And he saith unto me, seal not the sayings of the prophecy of the book: For the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
