Later when I retired from surgery and retrained as an artist I was given skilled help for a couple of years to explore in deeper levels of Consciousness.

"<p>In this award-winning novel, a successful but imperfect hero must confront failure and stop the deafening noise in his head long enough to hear the healing voices of the women who love him.</p> <p>On a cold day on a bridge above the Mississippi River, Tristan James is drugged out, liquored up, and about to give in to the irreversible as he teeters over the water.

But now, a constant and terrifying buzzing in his ears drowns out its joyful melodies, and he spirals to the edge. Jumping off the bridge would be a quiet relief. But Tristan has a bit of good fortune remaining at the bottom of his bucket of life&rsquo;s blessings&mdash;five extraordinary women surround him.

"On an abandoned beach on the Southern California Coast near midnight, Everett Durant reaches into the pockets of his jeans as he approaches the water?s edge. He unburdens himself of all personal belongings as he prepares to commit suicide by drowning but fails. During his unsuccessful drowning, Everett experiences the appurtenance of a Guardian Angel, of sorts. When he wakes, he sees only the impression of a sand angel remaining where he washed ashore. He soon learns that a young girl either jumped or fell from the cliffs above and suffered and died not so long ago. This realization encourages the washed-up emo-songwriter to honor her memory in a constructive way, and that sets the saga in motion. Everett deeply connects with those living in society?s underbelly as he gives them a voice through a collection of post-beat poetry. Soon, a quick fifteen minutes of fame lead him into the path of Beatrice Rutherford, otherwise known as ?the heiress.? With the prompting of the heiress, Everett moves deeper into the disorienting seas of cultural conformity, mass socialization, and geopolitical control, while championing the role of an inspired individualism. He could never have imagined that this incredible postmodern journey would begin with a dark night of the soul on an abandoned beach."

RELIGION

Rediscover your spirituality from our diverse and extensive Religion shelf.

This book, ?About The Holy Spirit, ? is a resource for anyone truly interested in whether the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a valid, current Biblical, manifestation that should be experienced by all Christian believers today. It shows scripturally how one is given the gift of the Holy Spirit when born again, which Jesus described as being ?born of the Spirit? (John 3:7-8). The Holy Spirit is deeply involved in the salvation process, therefore, every believer has the potential for the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit immediately upon being saved, and should walk and live in the Spirit thereafter (Galatians 5:23). Speaking in tongues is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit that are given to every believer. ?Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good? (1 CO 12:7 NIV).
"<p>When Jesus called his first disciples, he asked them, ?What are you looking for?? Jesus knew that we are all searching for something: a relationship with God; a grace-filled way of living; and the answers to life?s most important questions such as ?Who am I?? Too often we seek those answers in the wrong places. We can search the world and come up empty only to find that what we were seeking was inside of us all along.</p> In a part-spiritual autobiography and part-guided meditation, certified spiritual director Mark Ekstrom invites believers to join him on a journey of self-discovery and faith while offering insight into his spiritual ups and downs, doubts, wonderings, and the growth that has brought him to where he is today. Organized as a thirty-day pilgrimage with daily meditations, spiritual seekers are guided through reflection questions, scripture readings, spiritual disciplines, and prayer in order to experience God?s love and grace more fully, foster a deeper spirituality, and continue to build a strong personal relationship with God.</p> <p>Experiencing Grace leads believers on an introspective thirty-day journey to encourage an awareness of God not as a theological concept, but as a transforming relationship."

Second Corinthians 6:18 says I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty! What does that mean? It means you are a child of God, a beautiful daughter of the King of Kings!

POETRY

Absorb vibrant cultures and perspectives from our collection of prose and rhymes.

"In the beginning, bereshith, the Genesis text begins, God created heaven, earth, and many other things. The world was dark, shapeless, with no life or light, God said ?Let?s have light,? so made day and night. Water, water everywhere, in heaven and down below, God sorted into clouds and rain, sea, lakes and snow. Earth was next on the agenda, of God?s creative plan, He filled it with plants, trees, fish, animals, birds, man. He made stars, sun and moon, seasons hot and cold, ?Be fruitful and multiply? all creatures were told. Scholars claim that one third of the bible is poetry, more easily recognized in Hebrew than most English versions. In a poetic interpretation of the entire bible inspired by a conversation with God in 2010, Rob Bellingham shares a collection of rhyming couplets intended to be theologically sensitive regarding both gender and doctrine. Bible in Verse is a volume of inspirational rhyming couplets that offers a creative, succinct, and memorable look at a very familiar text."
"This is Jerry Garland's second attempt at publication. ?A Garland Sampler? (2000) had very limited circulation, due to an inability to promote it, but didn?t stop his writing poetry. It is a compilation of Poetry and Prose assembled over a few years. The poems are generally written as a response to News and Views of the day. The Prose are a few reminiscences of his life and activities. This will do better. Wait and see, he says."
"WARNING Be prepared to be amused by the odd ways of the characters here portrayed in the first section of the book devoted to Limericks. Be prepared to feel sympathy for their mishaps and trials. But especially be prepared to be shocked by their goings-on and shenanigans - the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many more. However also enjoy the more gentle humour of the later lengthier works set both in the UK and Australia which include homage to the Australian love of sport and the beach as well as a sad childhood tale."
Inspired by her former pastor, Robert (Bob) Greene, who closed church services with beautifully prepared prayers, Melissa began to compose her own prayers for a church bible study group. Group members encouraged her to publish them in a book, and she decided to do it. A first time author, Melissa prays that these prayers encourage the reader to strengthen their own prayer life with God.
