Book excerpt: Why does Mankind experience the same problems over and over again? Is he locked in a perpetual cycle doomed to repeat the same old mistakes regardless of his culture or time period? Throughout history there have been enlightened people and Masters who have told how to end this cycle. Were they wrong or have we misinterpreted their words? This spiritual adventure follows the lives of five characters who have taken it upon themselves to break this cycle of violence and destruction. Each of these characters: a Russian Parapsychologist, a South Korean Quantum Physicist, a West Texas Baptist Missionary in China, a California Psychologist, and an International Consultant from Dallas, holds a piece to the puzzle that will tell us how our worldview has trapped us in this endless spiral. Their personal experiences bring each of them to a higher consciousness and awareness that Mankind’s inevitable fate needs a detour. Through their commonality of belief, they meet and form a group whose objective is to answer the questions Mankind has always asked. Questions that must be answered if Man is to change his perspective and break the repetitive cycle of history that continues to lead back to war, poverty and suffering.

Casa Guadalupe has a reputation for being welcoming—no questions asked. At the request of her cousin, an emergency room nurse, Mary Clare is called upon to provide a Reiki session to an unconscious derelict man the police have picked up near Yosemite. But when the elderly man finally awakens, he discloses that he is St. Francis of Assisi and is dedicated to restoring the Savior’s message and the Catholic Church. As the man’s story is slowly revealed through vivid diary entries, Mary Clare embarks on her own journey to find out who he is, how he ended up in California, and why he believes he is St. Francis without any idea that she is about to unveil as much about herself and her beliefs as she does about him. In this tale of faith, love, and friendship, a nun crosses paths with a derelict man on a divine mission who teaches her more than she ever imagined about herself, God, the church, and forgiveness.

Download or read book The Zenith written by Duong Thu Huong and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory is the one who builds you a permanent court of justice. Memory is the one at your side from whom you cannot run... A sweeping tale of thwarted love, political intrigue, and the price of power—“The Doctor Zhivago of Vietnam” (Boston Globe)—about Ho Chi Minh, the founding father of modern Vietnam, a man beloved by millions but shrouded in controversy and mystery Vietnam's most popular dissident writer, Duong Thu Huong has won acclaim for her exceptional lyricism and psychological acumen, as well as for her unflinching portraits of modern Vietnam and its culture and people. Built on 15 years of research, The Zenith imagines the final months in the life of Ho Chi Minh—president of North Vietnam from 1945 until his death in 1969—at an isolated mountain compound where he is imprisoned both physically and emotionally. Complex, daring, and elegiac, Huong's novel weaves Ho Chi Minh's story together with narratives of members of his inner circle and a village elder, illuminating the personal costs of political struggle, the addictive quality of power and influence, and how a tragedy can threaten to engulf not just one individual but an entire nation. Most radically, it is a multidimensional portrait of Ho Chi Minh himself; a man who is often painted as a saint, martyr, or puppet, but whom Huong portrays as a real person whose life encapsulated humanity's capacity for vision, greed, pain, love, and fallibility. An epic masterpiece that is both a gripping political thriller and a haunting excavation of the human heart, The Zenith is an unforgettable novel that leaves readers unsettled, transformed, and closer to life's fundamental mysteries.
Download or read book The Enterprise written by Donald L. Schilling and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enterprise is a fictional City-State formed by a few of the many members of the US Military, Engineers, and Scientists who participated in World War II (WWII), as well as the wars and 'Police Actions' that followed. At first, the Enterprise was merely a privately held company that designed electronic equipment, robot-warriors, and weapons which they sold to the US Armed Services. In order to help pay the bills, one of the Founders of the Company, who was extremely well versed in buying and selling Securities, used his talent for the Company's benefit. After a short time, the Enterprise bought an Island near the Bahama Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean, and declared itself a Country, the Enterprise Isle. The Island was protected from attack by the use of the weapons it had developed. (These weapons may well be the weapons used by the US, its Allies, and its Enemies by 2035). After repeated attacks, these enemy countries, having lost planes and ships, as well as countless members of their armed forces decided not to annoy this new Country. Thus, the Enterprise grew in wealth and gained the respect of the Nations of the world. During the intervening years, it developed an Engineering and a Medical School that were the among the best in the world and employed equipment found nowhere else. By 2020, the Enterprise was one of the 5 wealthiest countries in the world. Its GDP was $10T in 2020, and its philosophy was to trade with any country that would trade fairly with them. Any company, or country, that dealt unfairly, suffered severe consequences. Indeed, it had already become known that the Enterprise had weapons that could destroy any country in the world with little damage to itself. The Enterprise's primary objectives were to provide for its 4 million Citizens, and to try not to interfere in other countries' business. This second item was not always easy to accomplish. After all, we all have friends!
