This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Gabriel Infante, the Miracle Weaver, received incredible charismas during his ordination as a Catholic priest in San Antonio, Texas in 1987. As many mystics before him, by the power of the Holy Spirit, he was able to heal the sick, raise the dead, convert sinners, and expel demons, among many other things. After a decade of service as presbyter, the mystic was liberated by the Almighty of his vow to serve Him as a priest so that he could fulfill his destiny and marry Theresa Reynolds, the love of his life who had been a religious sister. They had a girl and a boy and settled down in the City of San Antonio, Texas, to raise them. After surviving a terrible mid-life crisis, Gabriel was fired from his job as math teacher and assistant coach in the Catholic high school he attended as a teenager. Libertad and Leonardo, his children, were expelled from their school when they were found to be carrying knifes in their backpacks, a set up. Theresa suffered watching her home burn down, thinking it had been her fault. Everything in their home was believed to have burned to ashes. The forces of evil were defeated by the Infante family once again; however, the demons are relentless in their pursuit of the destruction of the Miracle weaver. A cunning evil spirit stalks now the Infante family and brings increasingly serious complications to their lives. All their important documents were stolen during the house fire and sold by a neighbor. Their identities were stolen and misused to the point that they end up penniless, homeless, unemployable, in deep debt, and even in jail, accused of crimes someone else committed in their names. While these troubles keep coming at Gabriel and Theresa, a peculiar character from Gabriel's infancy and early youth shows up in their lives. The old friend became an unscrupulous big bully who gets obsessed with beating Gabriel and making Theresa his at any cost. The stalking demon will use the mystic's old friend to force a deadly confrontation.

Book excerpt: "A heart-pounding adventure. Magic and monsters lurk in every corner as a headstrong trio search for their place in Aden Polydoros's haunting world." ––Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights From the author of The City Beautiful comes a haunting fantasy following Toma, adopted daughter of the benevolent undead, making her way across a civil war-torn continent to save her younger sister as she discovers she might possess magical powers herself. The Kosa empire roils in tension, on the verge of being torn apart by a proletarian revolution between magic-endowed elites and the superstitious lower class, but seventeen-year-old Toma lives blissfully disconnected from the conflict in the empire with her adoptive family of benevolent undead. When she meets Vanya, a charming commoner branded as a witch by his own neighbors, and the dethroned Tsar Mikhail himself, the unlikely trio bonds over trying to restore Mikhail’s magic and protect the empire from the revolutionary leader, Koschei, whose forces have stolen the castle. Vanya has his magic, and Mikhail has his title, but if Toma can’t dig deep and find her power in time, all of their lives will be at Koschei’s mercy.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: “For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale...a debut novel with a dark setting and an unforgettable heroine...is a riveting depiction of hard-won female empowerment” (The Washington Post). The Sin Eater walks among us, unseen, unheard Sins of our flesh become sins of Hers Following Her to the grave, unseen, unheard The Sin Eater Walks Among Us. For the crime of stealing bread, fourteen-year-old May receives a life sentence: she must become a Sin Eater—a shunned woman, brutally marked, whose fate is to hear the final confessions of the dying, eat ritual foods symbolizing their sins as a funeral rite, and thereby shoulder their transgressions to grant their souls access to heaven. Orphaned and friendless, apprenticed to an older Sin Eater who cannot speak to her, May must make her way in a dangerous and cruel world she barely understands. When a deer heart appears on the coffin of a royal governess who did not confess to the dreadful sin it represents, the older Sin Eater refuses to eat it. She is taken to prison, tortured, and killed. To avenge her death, May must find out who placed the deer heart on the coffin and why. “Very much reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale…it transcends its historical roots to give us a modern heroine” (Kirkus Reviews). “A novel as strange as it is captivating” (BuzzFeed), The Sin Eater “is a treat for fans of feminist speculative fiction” (Publishers Weekly) and “exactly what historical fiction lovers have unknowingly craved” (New York Journal of Books).

This sourcebook would provide educational, training, and research information for the international scientific community.
