OUTRAGEOUS CRIMES OF FASHION is a hilarious and authentic rags-to-riches memoir set in the crime-ridden streets of New York City in the late 1970s. It follows a naive and penniless young woman as she hysterically navigates through a cast of unsavory characters, meeting every disaster imaginable with guts, determination, wit, and ultimately, incredible success. This story resonates with readers of all generations as an encouraging tale for the aspiring entrepreneur. It is a bible for survival in a man's world and a must read for absolutely anyone who wears clothing. "e;In difficult times, fashion is always outrageous."e;Elsa Schiaparelli

Very quietly Ron said, "e;You know, I think the Towers are going to go. Maybe we'd better get out of here."e; ssWe suddenly realized that if either of the Towers fell at a certain angle, our building was directly in the line of fall. Above the raging flames, the perpendicular steel I-beams were beginning to bulge out, softening in the heat. Again his unnaturally quiet voice, "e;I can't stay here. If the Towers fall on us, I'll die of fright."e; (BALCONY VIEW - a 9/11/ Diary )Julia Frey's account begins on September 11, 2001, as the couple decide that despite her husband's illness, they must somehow flee. They abandon his wheelchair; he is too frail to climb on a boat. Later that day, covered with ashes, they struggle home through a neighborhood pitched into destruction and chaos, to look out his study window at their new view: "e;the stage set for Dante's Inferno."e; The domino effect of one burning, collapsing building setting fire to the next one makes it clear that their own building could still go. "e;The electricity was out. Ron could never go down 26 flights on his rear end. We were trapped in the sky."e;That's when Julia decides to write it all down -- if only for the people who will find their bodies. Describing the first night in the the ruins, being evacuated, then returning weeks later, to live at Ground Zero, she discovers that their world has totally changed, yet finally not changed at all. "e;Our previous problems didn't magically disappear. They were just waiting for us to come back in the door."e; This powerful narrative of double coping -- with Ron's progressing disability and with the after-effects of 9/11 -- describes a situation the manuals don't cover -- caregiving in a disaster.Julia Frey's intense, wryly humorous 'you are there' style buoys up the diary and moves it swiftly along, catching us in a gripping, touching, brave, tender, funny story of falling towers, a failing husband and a floundering menage a trois. "e;Nothing happens in a vacuum,"e; she says, weaving in the leitmotif of a long-term love affair. Unflinchingly, she faces the ruins out the window and her own disturbing ambivalence as she sacrifices her creative and professional life to become a full-time caregiver. Ron is no angel, either. He's a self-centered, willful novelist who after convincing her to take a lover, now wants her to give him up. "e;What makes him think he can turn us off and on like televisions?"e; she wonders.Ron's own writing creates an important counterpoint to Julia's voice, as she weaves into her diary quotations from his posthumous novel, Last Fall (FC2, 2005). In a poignant Coda, another tale comes to light -- the almost supernatural coincidences between Ron's last short story and a series of events that occur after Ron dies. There is even a happy ending.Now, twenty years later, Julia's experience is no longer an extraordinary occurrence. This historical diary is important not only to historians, sociologists and psychologists helping patients recover from PTSD, but above all, to those who find themselves unexpectedly plunged into similar catastophic situations: becoming caregivers during a major emergency. The international Covid-19 pandemic and regional climate-change disasters like wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, repeated Gulf Coast flooding and the 2021 Texas freezes have left many unprepared peopleto deal with a very ill family member, without electricity, gas or clean water. Julia's dilemma unfortunately is no longer rare. Many people will find it comforting to know that even unheroic people manage to get through such times.

The Old Testament is richly laden with prophecies and foreshadowings of the last days. Having never researched its treasures, however, many Christians possess a lopsided, exclusively New Testament understanding of End-Times prophecy. The Day of the Lord Commentary meticulously examines every Old Testament text foretelling or foreshadowing the dramatic people and events that consummate God's prophetic plan, terminate this world order, and inaugurate Christ's unprecedentedly righteous, peaceful, worldwide kingdom on earth.Only the Bible, accurately interpreted, establishes accurate End-Times views. This commentary's abundant, biblical cross-references lay a deep, broad foundation for a clear, accurate eschatology. It will amaze you how often, and how specifically, Old and New Testament prophets agree. All see the same final events, and in the same order: Tribulation, Armageddon, Millennium! This in-depth study gives special attention to the Old Testament's less-known "e;little apocalypses"e; in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah, and identifies their many links to John's well-known apocalypse, Revelation. Soundly refuting Supersessionism, it explains why God has regathered the Jews, reestablished the State of Israel, and preserved it against all odds: Israel's Day of the Lord is coming!

This book is divided into two sections: Lo Agrio and Lo Dulce. The poems in each of these sections represent emotions I have felt, as well as the stories of people I have encountered throughout my life. I believe that human connection teaches us about our meaning in life. Every time I have a conversation with someone or share a connection, I am welcoming their energy. This energy allows me to understand their experiences, as well as what they have learned. I use poetry to bring life to all the emotions we experience in this life journey, showing that to live is to embrace the good and the bad.Lo AgrioWe often suppress negative feelings because we are afraid of others' reactions, or afraid of facing our own darkness. We forget that these emotions can also teach us lessons, reshape our perspectives, and allow us to tap into our most vulnerable selves. As we experience pain, loss, anger, and heartache, we are also experiencing life. Once we learn to accept these emotions, we will be able to embark on a more meaningful personal journey.Lo DulceAt times, pain can come from love, just like love can come from pain. This chapter starts with finding inner peace by experiencing different forms of love-not just a love connection with someone else, but a love connection with ourselves. It represents a journey of self-acceptance and healing that leads towards opening ourselves to love, sexuality, and self-confidence.

The Biblical gospels are filled with many characters who make brief appearances and yet are important to the story. This book represents a collection of reflective poems based on some of these individuals, creatively exploring who they might have been, what they might have been thinking or feeling, and what they may have done or said. The stories told in this collection are fictional and hopefully will serve as an inspiration to reflect as one reads the gospels and encounters these characters.

When Therapy Isn't Enough integrates both personal and professional experiences to, for the first time, illuminate the intersection of Christianity and self-help. So many Christians and non-religious people are searching for the actual Word of God as the center to their daily lives, their reasons, and their purpose, and they don't even know it. They want something less preachy, less shame-based, and more centered on the heart of God and what he stands for. When you focus on the Word of God, it is simple, it is fearless, it is non-religious, and it is practical. Heather allows believers and non-believers to come together in a way that no one feels judged.This book is designed to draw people into an understanding of God's nature and sovereignty so they can be set free. Heather takes Christianity and makes it less threatening, less guilt-based, less exclusionary, and more welcoming, more accepting, and more inclusive. She connects all of our fears, worries, and trauma and shows us the tools to live a full life in spite of our experiences. This book blends both faith and psychology into a practical yet sustainable method of looking inward and upward for real "e;self-help."e; When you have looked everywhere to no avail, maybe you haven't looked to the One who can sustain you.
