Book excerpt: My business partner in the early nineties often said to me, "We should write a book."

Then the idea gained steam over the last several years with more stories, but the narrative changed to that is going to be in the book. Well, I finally decided to actually write the book, and this collection of stories has been my experiences dealing in the real estate business over the last few decades. The title came from my dad, since I have shared many stories with him about my day-to-day follies. And in many cases, I have gone into a property searching for a valuation only to find out that there is no roof. Then it happened again....and again. So hence the title.

Download or read book Our Spiritual DNA written by Carmel Niland and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Investigates the roles, energies, and essence of 12 Ascended Masters and how each of them holds a strand of our spiritual DNA • Traces the reincarnations of Ascended Masters Mother Mary and St. Germain through history, depicting the positive and shadow aspects of their archetypal energies • Offers charts that allow you to find out which Ascended Master you relate to and thus discover your own direct connection to the Divine DO YOU KNOW what Imhotep, Homer, and Nikola Tesla have in common? All three are said to be influential incarnations of Ascended Master St. Germain. How can we tell? Guided by renowned mystics, Carmel Niland suggests that, just as we carry physical DNA that shapes us across generations, we also carry an energetic code or spiritual DNA that links us back to the very source of our origins -- God -- a divine ancestry that throughout the centuries conveys itself in patterns of behavior, character traits, and life purpose, connecting each individual to a specific Ascended Master. The God essence expresses itself through archetypal energies in us, represented by 12 Ascended Masters who hold the 12 strands of our spiritual DNA. Thus, every person on this earth, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary, is an aspect of one of these Masters. Focusing on Mother Mary and St. Germain, Our Spiritual DNA explores the role, energies, and essence of these 12 Masters by examining some of history’s most important figures who have been instrumental in shaping our world. Hitherto unknown details about the lives of personalities like Queen Nefertiti, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Merlin, Isabelle of Castile, and Dante emerge in channeled conversations with the author’s spiritual guide, The Gatekeeper. Revolutionizing the Western view of reincarnation, this astounding book allows you to trace your own spiritual DNA through the reincarnations of the Ascended Masters, understand your spiritual and genetic connection to God, and realize that we are all divinely connected across gender, race, and time.

Download or read book Missionary Mom written by Shontelle Brewer and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission work is not for the faint of heart. We admire those brave souls who leave behind the comforts of home and go to foreign fields to bring the love of Christ to people in need. And sometimes it feels uninspiring to be stuck at home in the day-to-day of parenting when others are out there changing the world, soul by soul. Shontell Brewer has a message to renew the spirits of everyday moms: they too have a critical calling as the very first missionaries their children meet. In her informal, funny voice, Brewer points out the many unexpected parallels: A missionary may need to learn a foreign language and new customs to understand and communicate with those around her. A missionary has to follow the path God puts before her, sacrificing sleep, comfort, time, and toilets. Sound like any moms you know? Brewer tackles common challenges from mom-guilt to the temptation to be a martyr to those days when it feels like only a box of cookies and a Netflix binge can restore a sense of peace. But through it all, she shares the truth that there's more to parenting than potty training and orthodontist appointments. Mothers make the love of Christ tangible and understandable to their children. With determination and a few purposeful steps, moms can embrace their own mission field, leading their families--heart, soul, mind, and strength--to Christ.

Download or read book Three Novels written by Mostofa Kamal and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taliban, Pak Colonel and a Young Lady The prophetic prudence of the novelist has come true in the recent turmoil of Pakistan. In this novel, he has depicted the obvious historical consequences of a country that has indulged in letting fanaticism sprawl wayward. One has to take a longer look at the history of a country to find traces of such things. The horror that was committed in Pakistan, on the 16th of December 2014, is foreshadowed in this novel. The setting of this novel has been appropriately handpicked. The hugger-mugger state of politics in Pakistan has proved detrimental to its populace. Flaming Eventide This is about the freedom struggles in Bangladesh and their aftermath. It shows how opportunists became powerful and then misruled the country. This is a story of how a freedom-fighter family was made victim by the anti-liberation forces. The Flatterer This is a satirical novel. Flattery is art used by shrewd and less competent people to gain worldly ends. They use it as a ladder to go higher up. They try to satisfy their bosses with words of praise and show excessive modesty that goes beyond usual human behavior, making it look odd. Yet, this seems to take center stage in office decorum everywhere.

Download or read book Firmin written by Sam Savage and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I had always imagined that my life story...would have a great first line: something like Nabokov's 'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins;' or if I could not do lyric, then something sweeping like Tolstoy's 'All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'... When it comes to openers, though, the best in my view has to be the first line of Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier: 'This is the saddest story I have ever heard.'" So begins the remarkable tale of Firmin the rat. Born in a bookstore in a blighted 1960's Boston neighborhood, Firmin miraculously learns how to read by digesting his nest of books. Alienated from his family and unable to communicate with the humans he loves, Firmin quickly realizes that a literate rat is a lonely rat. Following a harrowing misunderstanding with his hero, the bookseller, Firmin begins to risk the dangers of Scollay Square, finding solace in the Lovelies of the burlesque cinema. Finally adopted by a down-on-his-luck science fiction writer, the tide begins to turn, but soon they both face homelessness when the wrecking ball of urban renewal arrives. In a series of misadventures, Firmin is ultimately led deep into his own imaginative soul--a place where Ginger Rogers can hold him tight and tattered books, storied neighborhoods, and down-and-out rats can find people who adore them. A native of South Carolina, Sam Savage now lives in Madison, Wisconsin. This is his first novel.

When Vivian Black awakens in a coffin fifty years away from her earliest memories, that is only the beginning of the horror awaiting her. Soon she discovers she is a vampire wanted by a deadly, international cult of the undead‒the Shévet ha Dam, or Blood Tribe. Her pursuer? Joseph Cartaphilus, former doorkeeper to Pontius Pilate and the father of the vampire race. With a new, handsome friend Michael, a young vampire who has vowed to protect her, Vivian flees for her life. But nowhere is far enough for them to escape her past and the Shévet ha Dam. Blood Trials: Maysun, keeper of the world's spiritual balance, has passed her gift to her lover, Eoghan, but she may have acted too soon. If the leader of the malevolent global vampire tribe, the Shévet ha dam, discovers Maysun's child, Sana, he may use her ability to resist the vampire curse to tip the global balance of power in his favor. Sana lives half her life awake and taunted by haunting voices, the other half in a shadowy world scarcely remembered. Unaware that the voices are vampires hiding in plain sight, tracking her every move, Sana believes she teeters on the edge of insanity. Vampire Vivian Black must use her power from the Source to find Sana before the Shévet ha dam. With the help of new friends wielding unusual supernatural gifts, Vivian again finds herself in the global fight to keep the world from becoming overrun by darkness. Blood Treason: Michael and Vivian, undead soulmates fighting against the Blood Tribe, must face their greatest challenge yet. Lukas, Michael's son, has turned to the dark power of the Maleficence, and if the woman seducing him has her way, he may never return to the light.

The living kind. It's a battle for the ultimate victory against the Maleficence, and the vampires fighting the Shévet ha Dam have never faced such insurmountable obstacles. Can they save Lukas and overcome Michael's affliction, or will darkness prevail?
