In this book the following topics are addressed: Why I wrote the book; How do we form our relationships; Why marriages fail; Why second marriages fail at a higher rate; How to foster a healthy union; What divorce looks like to the kid; A healthy divorce; Parenting through divorce; and Finding the right counselor."A magnum opus is not made in a microwave; it is incubated and nurtured. This book is a synergy between Dr. Waldman's many other works. The heart and soul of this effort is to protect our most valuable natural resource (our children) from more needless damage. Thank you, Larry for the privilege of reading your manuscript." --Dr. Karl Riem, Psychologist (Retired)"Dr. Waldman's book on divorce is a guide on what to do and not to do when contemplating a divorce. Reading this book and following his guidance, could prevent parents from making mistakes that will impact their children's lives and future relationships in a negative manner. It will also assist parents in answering their children's questions and concerns, before and during a divorce in a constructive manner. I wish I had this information when I was on my divorce journey, it would have prevented a number of mistakes on my part." --Cary Silverstein, MBA Professor Emeritus, DeVry University / Keller Graduate School of Business"Dr. Waldman's published articles fit very well within his exhortation that we consider our children and their well-being over our own selfish interests in situations of marital difficulty or divorce. Anyone who has worked as a child mental health provider has witnessed some of the scenarios he outlines in this book for us. I enjoyed the reading, and found the pace quick, and the material provocative." --Stephen D Bailey, Ed.D., Licensed Psychologist HSPP, Child/Geriatric Neuropsychologist"This book is great and covers so many important issues. Every couple contemplating or in the middle of a divorce should carefully read each chapter for insight into avoiding mistakes and putting the children FIRST." --Linda Feldman, Director of Family Education Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Phoenix

An assemblage of cousins from various states, who are close and meet every year for their annual vacation, like to have fun and go to places they have never seen before. Last year their vacation together had some unforeseen adventures they didn''t anticipate, so they were looking forward to a quiet and relaxing vacation together in a rustic cabin in the beautiful Missouri mountains.The lady at the registration desk and another lady tried to scare them away from their cabin, but these ladies were strong and wouldn''t back down to any situation, so they traveled on toward their cabin and fell in love with it immediately. The registration ladies told them a wild tale of their cabin being one that Jesse James had slept in a long time ago and that he had hidden some money somewhere in that very cabin, and sometimes others would want to try to find it. All this didn''t faze the strong women who were wanting a place to relax with their favorite cousins.They meet a variety of colorful characters along the way that would be hard for people to believe if they told them. Some of these characters were good and others not so good, leading the cabin ladies to have to do things they had rather not do to survive. Not all the vacation was bad. They had good times along with the bad. The cousins were close and would stick together no matter what came their way. The lady at registration was correct when she said some people would do anything for money, and they did.

The extent of Arab diffusion in the Orient in the first century BC, around 64 /63 BC, the year of Pompey''s settlement in Syria, rendered by Arab groups who were moving from north to south then. Those were in the region centuries before the Romans, and migrated from south to north, from southern Arabia, north to Syria, including southern Anatolia, and parts of Mesopotamia. Such migrations took place at occasions, during the gradual destruction of the Ma''reb Dam in Yeman which took place before 447.

After reading this, anyone should be able to pass Christianity 101.Welcome to our book: A blend of all four gospels, with Jewish and Christian history added in just the right places to fill out the gospel story in a dynamic way for our modern culture. Jesus is Jewish, the old testament is Jewish, and the new testament is a combination of Christian and Jewish background.The group who prepared this for you comes from many and various backgrounds of Christian churches and teaching. This helped tremendously and at the same time were unsure of exactly what to present to you of the added material presented along with the gospel narrative. We take the gospels to be one hundred percent accurate, but anything we added, we knew we could not get one hundred percent. But we wanted to at least get above 90 percent with the added Christian and Jewish histories. If not, then we have no desire to do this book. So, we prayed hard and studied diligently. We wanted an accurate, simple and clear presentation of the gospel. We prayed, if the Lord wills that we could present to all an accurate percentage of what we got right. After all that is said and done, we strongly feel that the Lord has told us that we are ninety eight percent accurate on the added material.Please understand, this is not a boasting thing, we just wanted to avoid vagueness so that the reader can be confident of what we have put forth. Putting aside pre-conceived ideas, human biases, which are both conscious and subconscious, with every denomination and theology considered, we were determined to give you the best and most accurate rendition of the gospel possible.With that said, one may be surprised with what is accurate as you read. Please understand, love always comes first, and accurate knowledge is second. As love builds up, but knowledge can puff up. This book is designed to give anyone, Christian or not, a better understanding of who Jesus and all the saints are.Please read the whole book with an open mind and see if the pieces fall together for you as they did for us. We are sure you will come across things you had not heard of or things you disagree with. That is fine: we encourage all feedback, criticism, disagreements, etc…At ancientwisdomcomics@yahoo.com

As in my first book, ''Many Things Most Christians Do Not Know'', you will find a variety of topics most Christians and non-Christians alike have never heard of, nor even thought about before. Like the first, this book is full of humor. With so much hate, sadness, and suicide in this world, humor is desperately needed in our lives and to share with others. Even the Bible addresses the positive advantages of about how a good chuckle benefits both the body and the soul. ''The Annihilation Theory!'' What is it, and is there any truth to it? The stage is now being set, as numerous events are already in motion for the soon-coming ''New World Order'' as depicted in the Bible. You will discover Biblical prophecies written over 1900 years ago that are now becoming fact. For example, some people believe there may be another ''Ice Age'' on this earth. Is that possible? Actually the Bible talks about a climate change on this earth, which I discuss in this book. It also talks about destruction, mass murders, natural disasters, diseases, torment, chaos, wars, unparalleled to anything that has happened on this earth before, as I will explain and using ''God''s Holy Word''. These facts prove that not only what the ''Holy Scriptures'' say are true, but the time of the ''Great Tribulation'' is very, very near. Take some of your quiet time and relax to hopefully learn, be inspired, and also enjoy some of what I call: ''Just Downright Funny!''

This book is an attempt by the author to demonstrate that the condom is endowed with "a spirit/an attitude/a mentality." The author demonstrates that, if that spirit/attitude/mentality is acquired, nurtured and developed by human beings, the world will be a far better place than it is. By skillfully maneuvering and revealing the essential values, virtues, and qualities inherent within the condom, the author has succeeded in convincing the reader that the condom is much more than a thing; it is rather a creation of significant proportion and importance.

Holdout used to be a nice, quiet, whitebread American town in the New Jersey hinterland, a town of Boy Scout jamborees and dollar double features. A Christian town. Today it is a drum-thumping, horn-blasting, bangle jangling, red light-running South Asian immigrant enclave, home to new American dreamers of many faiths and countries of origin. The holdouts of Holdout are not happy. They liked their town just fine as it was in 1959. Reverend Dunstan Macadam, a veteran pastor who pinballs from overweening self-regard to private self-loathing to alcoholic self-medication and back again has been caring for his flock in all the traditional ways they expect for many years now, marrying them and burying them, while preaching the gospel of trust, empathy, and hospitality, and seeking to nudge them into a more welcoming, adaptive, even neighborly encounter with the new families in town, when a threatening letter from an apocalyptic fringe group arrives in Friday''s mail, and a mysterious stranger appears in church two days later and presents herself to receive Holy Communion. Not long afterwards, bullets fly after a mosque prayer meeting, and sparks fly, real ones, igniting the church. Reverend Dunce and his young protégé, a gay Muslim would-be fashion thief and unrepentant straight talker, who also serves as the Reverend''s driver, conscience and body man, must each reckon with the prejudices and violent predilections of his own faith community, while together endeavoring to assist people of good will in both communities to navigate these violent confrontations, and nudge a nervous American town into the twenty-first century.

"Poezia e Shpresa Ymerajt i  beson  gjuhës figurative për të  krijuar  hapësirën e vet  intime. Pena e saj, nëpërmjet një  reflektimi  të veçantë thellësisht  emocional,  inkurajon  analizën e  brendshme."  "Shpresa Ymeraj's poetry trusts in the use of imagery to create its intimate realm. Her pen, with a distinct reflection of deep emotion, encourages introspection."-Rudina Çupi

“Murder at Toltec Gorge,” surprisingly, is a love story. Unfortunately, love, a raw human emotion, is sometimes accompanied by violence. Such is the case here.Set during 1927, the tale is one of historical fiction involving workers for the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. The D&RGW, initially chartered in 1870 in Denver, Colorado, was intended to reach El Paso, Texas.As it progressed south, bringing both good and evil along, it reached Antonito, Colorado, in 1880. But with El Paso as a goal, silver had been discovered in the San Juan Mountains in the late 1870s. And the railroad wanted to make money. So a 90-degree right turn occurred at Antonito, as rails headed west towards Durango and Silverton, Colorado.Each new section station along the route was staffed with a foreman, a cook, usually the foreman’s wife, and about a dozen young rail maintenance workers. Arriana Garcia is the woman of the house at Sublette, New Mexico, on the D&RGW’s San Juan Extension. It’s a lonely, isolated mountain place, 9,276 feet up, where winters are harsh. Twelve young rail workers live in two bunkhouses next to the section house, and Mrs. Garcia cooks for everyone. She is the only female.Though imperfect, she is stunningly beautiful. No lonely railroad male employee is immune from her charm.Arri Garcia is from a traditional Hispanic background in Alamosa, Colorado. Her husband, Leo, the Sublette section foreman, is also from Alamosa. When World War 1 came along in 1914, men like Leo Garcia went to war to be affected by it, not always in the best of ways. The Great War also altered the behavior of women in the United States, where they substituted for men in factories, lived more independently, and liked it. In 1920, they got the vote. In 1927, during the Roaring 20s, many American women like Arri Garcia were rethinking traditional roles.Leo Garcia was decorated for bravery in France during 1918, a hero. Garcia is a strict, effective railroad supervisor, but he has a dark side, a souvenir of the war. Leo is an abuser. Foreman Garcia rules his home the same way he rules his section gang – through intimidation and fear.Eliseo Marinez, 28, is a star engineer for the D&RGW. He grew up in Conejos, Colorado, serving as an altar boy in Our Lady of Guadalupe church. Over time, Eli quietly falls in love with the married Arriana Garcia, though he knows better. More than once, Martinez sees fresh bruises on Arri. Finally, infuriated, he tells his best friend, fireman Samuel Gonzales: “If he hurts her again, I’ll kill him!”Sam realizes that Eli has stepped into a Sublette funnel in which there’s only room for two people to come out alive. This can’t be good, thinks Sam. This can’t be good at all.The author is a 31-year career police officer who now works as a docent for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, the successor since 1970 to the Denver & Rio Grande Western. Although the story is fictional, some aspects parallel actual cases handled during his law enforcement days. Take this exciting ride through the San Juan Mountains on the Colorado & New Mexico Express by reading “Murder at Toltec Gorge”!

We persuaded Carol to take us to Ireland to see our favorite singer, Paul Byrom, such a delightful person, on two tours with Travel Concepts. This book includes some of our favorite experiences from both tours, I and IV. Our highlight was watching a prize-winning sheepdog working the sheep at his master's commands. We got to experience riding very unusual horses and protecting a castle. Paul shook hands with us and held us several times. We saw northern Ireland, toured the Belleck and Waterford factories among others, traveled the Wild Atlantic Way, where we really needed Carol to protect us from the wind. How many sloths get to visit Ireland? Mischief and McGuffeyBecause I cannot take animals from the wild to travel with me, I decided to take my plush sloth friends with me to see Costa Rica and Panama. McGuffey had been reading about all the exciting places and wanted to see them for herself. Mischief likes to have adventures. Mischief and McGuffey are always ready to share their adventures with children, so I take photographs of them on their travels. I write their stories because I have traveled through many countries since childhood. I have taken four trips around Ireland, one of my favorite countries because the people are so friendly and helpful and the scenery is so beautiful. My extensive experience in photographing since childhood inspires me to share their stories with my readers. Whether or not you can travel, you will enjoy sharing their adventures through our books. Everyone should travel, even if only through books and television. Perhaps later you can visit Ireland as well. I hope you will help to conserve the wild areas and their wild creatures because all of us need the benefits, both practical and aesthetic, we gain through communing with nature. That applies to every country, including your own.Walking across the Peace Bridge and seeing the statue of two reaching out their hands in hopes of real peace between the two Irelands was very emotional. Watching the careful work done in the Waterford Crystal factories made me appreciate the delicacy of the processes.I even shared my own highlights, the sheepdog herding sheep, holding a barn owl on my wrist, walking through the pastures of famous horses, and watching the dog relaxing on the back of a donkey. Only in Ireland! I even managed to hold the barn owl so steady that it did not flutter to keep its balance. Nature in Ireland outdoes itself along the Wild Atlantic Way. Carol Creager
