Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Named a Best Book Pick of 2021 by Harper’s Bazaar and Real Simple Named a Most Anticipated Book of Fall by People, Essence, New York Post, PopSugar, New York Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, Town & Country, Bustle, Fortune, and Book Riot Told from alternating perspectives, this “propulsive, deeply felt tale of race and friendship” (People) follows two women, one Black and one white, whose friendship is indelibly altered by a tragic event. Jen and Riley have been best friends since kindergarten. As adults, they remain as close as sisters, though their lives have taken different directions. Jen married young, and after years of trying, is finally pregnant. Riley pursued her childhood dream of becoming a television journalist and is poised to become one of the first Black female anchors of the top news channel in their hometown of Philadelphia. But the deep bond they share is severely tested when Jen’s husband, a city police officer, is involved in the shooting of an unarmed Black teenager. Six months pregnant, Jen is in freefall as her future, her husband’s freedom, and her friendship with Riley are thrown into uncertainty. Covering this career-making story, Riley wrestles with the implications of this tragic incident for her Black community, her ambitions, and her relationship with her lifelong friend. Like Tayari Jones’s An American Marriage and Jodi Picoult’s Small Great Things, We Are Not Like Them takes “us to uncomfortable places—in the best possible way—while capturing so much of what we are all thinking and feeling about race. A sharp, timely, and soul-satisfying novel” (Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author) that is both a powerful conversation starter and a celebration of the enduring power of friendship.

Download or read book Purification written by David Pedri and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purification takes the reader through the protagonists’ heroic trials in the Tribulation of the last times, culminating in a divinely sent world-wide Warning to prepare souls for the Second Coming of Christ on the clouds of heaven, by revealing each person’s sins and their particular need for repentance. If humanity repents, it will be spared the Great Chastisement, consisting of nuclear war principally in the Southern hemisphere, in which we are told ‘nations will disappear in seconds.’ The earth’s collision with a giant heaven-sent Comet, will affect the northern hemisphere. Catholic prophecies say two-thirds to three-quarters of humanity will perish by these divine chastisements. But Heaven will rejoice at the repentance and salvation of even one soul. Finally, the wicked who refuse to repent, will perish and Satan will be cast into hell with them, until mankind again opens the door to the ‘bottomless pit’. After several engagements with the enemy, David and his faithful few are ambushed by seven diabolical assassins: ogres (demons from Hell inhabiting human bodies). In these times the spiritual warfare between good and evil takes on a visible dimension. Faith in God and in the shield of His Providence are the only safety nets. The final atrocity described in Book III is perpetrated by the Evil One; it will shock the reader. David is shattered by his friend’s ritual murder, but his Faith sustains him to the bittersweet end. An Epilogue ends Book III. It touches on the pastoral world of those who survive the Chastisement.

Book excerpt: A respectable marriage reveals private passions and dangerous secrets in this “sensual and intriguing” Victorian romance (Publishers Weekly). Lucy Ashton had long ago given up her quest for true love. Instead, she plays the expected role of a society lady: flirting, dancing, and dabbling in the new fashion of spiritualism. She even marries when—and who—she’s supposed to. If the stuffy Duke of Sussex cannot spark the passion she craves, he can at least give her a family and a home of her own. But when her polite marriage reveals a caring and sensual man, Lucy begins to wonder if she can indeed have it all. As a member of a secretive organization, Lord Sussex is not the man London society has come to admire. Meanwhile, Lucy harbors a few troublesome ghosts of her own. Thus, when a blackmail scheme turns to threats of danger, the newfound peace of the Sussex marriage is cast upon the rocks. Passion has a price, Lucy learns. And not all ghosts stay buried.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exposition of the spiritual philosophy and method of self-discipline of the Bhagavad Gita. Almost all spiritual problems have been briefly but deeply dealt with in the Gita , Sri Aurobindo remarked to a disciple, and I have tried to bring all that out fully in the Essays . In his estimation the Gita is a great work of spiritual synthesis, for it built a harmony between the three great means and powers, Love, Knowledge and Works, through which the soul of man can directly approach and cast itself into the Eternal. Our object in studying the Gita , Sri Aurobindo wrote, will not be a scholastic or academical scrutiny of its thought, nor to place its philosophy in the history of metaphysical speculation, nor shall we deal with it in the manner of the analytical dialectician. We approach it for help and light and our aim must be to distinguish its essential and living message, that in it on which humanity has to seize for its perfection and its highest spiritual welfare. Contents: Our Demand and Need from the Gita; The Divine Teacher, The Core of the Teaching; Man and the Battle of Life; Sankhya and Yoga; Equality and Knowledge; Above the Gunas; The Supreme Secret; etc. Subjects: Indology, Philosophy, Yoga.
