You can shape the world the way you want. Plus, you are the great gatekeeper. The negative, the cruel, the hurtful can be banished...It's been asked millions of times before, and I asked it again, must I live my life to avoid what's been done previous to my birth? No. My motto then, do as you wish, wish as you do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Burning Cauldron & Working Towards Death are two essays that philosophically delve into the inner world of one character's contorted thoughts. Here are a few excerpts: ....What's this book about? Not into judgment even based on scientific observation. Anyway, not sure what anything is or is supposed to be. Just know that the book is not an entertaining story of between two hundred and a thousand pages that is only a cracked mirror held up to the human soul and found wanting. The book is just a string of words that seek to instruct, to lead, to influence and take you into the world of false illusions. The genre used? Philosophy, history, sociology, autobiography and everything in between. The moral of the story then, the need to define leads us only to confine. ....What do I care about appearances anymore? At my age, it doesn't matter. Who the hell are they to judge? It's all passing. You die. I die. Appearances die. Simple. We all know that, yet cling to the inanity of trying to please and setting value by their values. ....Defining self. Long winded. Defining self more. Oblivious, not aware of the outside world of adults. Me, aware of sensation only, relating only to what I can touch and feel; biological necessities. Adults betray me. Too serious; don't enjoy themselves; always worrying about money. Kids are different. No constraints or hidden thoughts or meanings. Autobiography right there. ....Love the concept of wishing. It's the idea of creation of a world all your own. How many hours have I spent alone wishing an ideal into existence. You can shape the world the way you want it. You are what you think and keep others out. You are the great gatekeeper. Thus, the negative, the cruel, the hurtful can be banished. ....It's been written millions of times by other writers, but so what, here it is. Must I live my life to avoid what's been done previous to my birth. Should I stop eating and defecating because it has been done trillions of times before by others? No. My motto then, do as you wish, wish as you do.

A young woman warrior, destined to save the world, a devoted dragon guardian, refusing to leave her side, and a final epic battle against the greatest evil Ethöes has ever known.

As another safe haven fades in the distance, she and Jaax travel east to make ready for battle. But there are many devious players in this deadly game, and even if Jahrra succeeds in destroying their enemy, Jaax fears it will come at too high a cost. As open war looms, both Jahrra and Jaax will be tested beyond their limits. Old friends and enemies will emerge, and secrets that have remained buried for centuries will finally be revealed. In the end, Jahrra must find the strength and courage to endure her greatest challenge yet, or risk losing all that she holds dear. ***Literary Classics Winner for Best Young Adult Series***

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pahlavi Widēwdād (Vidēvdād), The Law (Serving to Keep) Demons Away, a fifth-century Middle Persian commentary on the Avestan Vidēvdād, describes rules and regulations that serve to prevent pollution caused by dead matter, menstrual discharges, and other agents. It recognizes the perpetual presence of the demons, the forces of the Evil Spirit –forces that should be fought through law-abiding conduct. In spite of its formidable textual problems, the commentary provides an invaluable quarry for the rules of the Zoroastrian community through its citation of regulations for the conduct of its members. Many topics are covered, from jurisprudence to penalties, procedures for dealing with pollution, purification, and arrangements for funerals. Viewed together, they provide the reader with an exquisite interlace of a community’s concerns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pathways into the Jungian World contributors from the disciplines of medicine, psychology and philosophy look at the central issues of commonality and difference between phenomenology and analytical psychology. The major theme of the book is how existential phenomenology and analytical psychology have been involved in the same fundamental cultural and therapeutic project - both legitimize the subtlety, complexity and depth of experience in an age when the meaning of experience has been abandoned to the dictates of pharmaceutical technology, economics and medical psychiatry. The contributors reveal how Jung's relationship to the phenomenological tradition can be, and is being, developed, and rigorously show that the psychological resonance of the world is immediately available for phenomenological description.

Book excerpt: This commentary of Galatians is a thorough examination of the text of the letter by Mark J. Keown. It includes an introduction to the letter and a verse by verse analysis of Paul’s letter. It is designed to be a readable, thorough exploration of Galatians without being overly laden with engagement with secondary literature. The Greek of Galatians is transliterated throughout the commentary, including in the translations, making the Greek accessible to all readers. The real emphasis is engagement with the text, the meaning of the Greek, especially in regards to primary sources, and the flow of Paul’s argument against the Judaizers challenging his churches. Yet, as is usual in Mark Keown’s work, it is all presented in an easily understandable and readable way. At points, the author pauses to share a personal story or two, adding flavor to the commentary. While it is comprehensive and thorough, It is ideal for preachers who are looking to really grapple with the meaning of Galatians for Christians today. Special emphasis is given to Paul’s summons in the letter that readers live by faith and not works and embrace God’s call in the gospel to lay aside all forms of prejudice under God’s reign. In the discussion of Galatians 5, in-depth consideration is given to the ethical issues it raises, a helpful tool for Christians grappling with how to live by the Spirit in a twenty-first-century world full of challenges.

Book excerpt: The unmissable conclusion to Tim Leach's critically acclaimed historical adventure series set in the Roman Empire. AD 180. Vindolanda, Britannia. Sarmatian warrior Kai and his adopted tribe, the Votadini, struggle for survival in unfamiliar lands north of the Wall, living just beyond the reach of Rome. When an old enemy takes control of the Votadini's hated foes, a confederation of tribes known as the Painted People, and rouses them to action, Kai heads south, hoping to ally with the Romans against this resurgent threat. But the Romans have heard tales of butchery and mayhem beyond the Wall. Lucius, Legate of the North, believes Kai and his allies are responsible, and sends forth an expedition to capture his old comrade. Can Kai survive the onslaught – or will such determined enemies spell the end for the warrior and his tribe? Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Adrian Goldsworthy. Reviews for Tim Leach 'Roman military adventure at its best.' Simon Turney 'The characters feel rounded and real.' The Times 'Magnificent.' Historia 'A poetic, absorbing narrative.' Sunday Times

Book excerpt: Macabre and fantastical, Hoffmann’s wildly imaginative tales offer an unflinching view of human nature and sing clearer than ever in a masterful new translation Whether a surrealist exploration of the anxieties surrounding automation, or a mystery concerning a goldsmith, missing jewels, and a spate of murders, each tale in this collection reveals the complexities of human desire and fear. Hoffman, whose most famous work is “The Nutcracker,” is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe. Hoffman’s massive influence qualifies him as the godfather of the German Romantic Movement which led to the horror genre. The macabre, fantastical nature of his subject matter inspired a broad swath of culture, with two of the longer stories in this collection “The Sandman” and “The Automaton” influencing Philip K. Dick’s original inspiration for Blade Runner. The murder mystery “Mademoiselle de Scudéry” is perhaps one of the earliest prototypes of the detective genre story. Music and madness flow through E.T.A. Hoffmann’s phantasmagoric stories. The ringing of crystal bells heralds the arrival of a beguiling snake, and a student’s descent into lunacy; a young man abandons his betrothed for a woman who plays the piano skillfully but seems worryingly wooden; a counselor’s daughter must choose between singing and her life. Peter Wortsman’s masterful new translation allows Hoffmann’s distinct and influential style to shine, while breathing new life into stories that seem both familiar and uncanny.
