Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some say the great mystery of how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago. Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff of dreams. They are all wrong. Rachelle Matthews, who grew up in the small town of Eden, Utah, discovered just how wrong when she dreamed and awoke in another world. There she learned that she was the 49th Mystic, the prophesied one, tasked with finding five ancient seals before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, the world will forever be locked in darkness. In The 49th Mystic, Rachelle found the first three of those five seals through great peril and mind-altering adventure. But two seals remain hidden and the fate of both worlds hangs in their balance. As Rachelle Matthews sits deep in a dungeon, Vlad Smith is just getting started. Thomas Hunter's world is about to be turned inside out. The mystics say that there is no defense against the Fifth Seal--but finding it will cost Rachelle everything. So begins the final volume of high stakes in one girl's quest to find an ancient path that will save humanity. The clock is ticking; the end rushes forward. Ready? Set? Dream.

Download or read book A Prayer Journal written by Flannery O'Connor and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I would like to write a beautiful prayer," writes the young Flannery O'Connor in this deeply spiritual journal, recently discovered among her papers in Georgia. "There is a whole sensible world around me that I should be able to turn to Your praise." Written between 1946 and 1947 while O'Connor was a student far from home at the University of Iowa, A Prayer Journal is a rare portal into the interior life of the great writer. Not only does it map O'Connor's singular relationship with the divine, but it shows how entwined her literary desire was with her yearning for God. "I must write down that I am to be an artist. Not in the sense of aesthetic frippery but in the sense of aesthetic craftsmanship; otherwise I will feel my loneliness continually . . . I do not want to be lonely all my life but people only make us lonelier by reminding us of God. Dear God please help me to be an artist, please let it lead to You." O'Connor could not be more plain about her literary ambition: "Please help me dear God to be a good writer and to get something else accepted," she writes. Yet she struggles with any trace of self-regard: "Don't let me ever think, dear God, that I was anything but the instrument for Your story." As W. A. Sessions, who knew O'Connor, writes in his introduction, it was no coincidence that she began writing the stories that would become her first novel, Wise Blood, during the years when she wrote these singularly imaginative Christian meditations. Including a facsimile of the entire journal in O'Connor's own hand, A Prayer Journal is the record of a brilliant young woman's coming-of-age, a cry from the heart for love, grace, and art.

Download or read book The Mystics of Mile End written by Sigal Samuel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sigal Samuel’s debut novel, in the vein of Nicole Krauss’s bestselling The History of Love, is an imaginative story that delves into the heart of Jewish mysticism, faith, and family. “This is not an ordinary tree I am making. “This,” he said, “this is the Tree of Knowledge.” In the half-Hasidic, half-hipster Montreal neighborhood of Mile End, eleven-year-old Lev Meyer is discovering that there may be a place for Judaism in his life. As he learns about science in his day school, Lev begins his own extracurricular study of the Bible’s Tree of Knowledge with neighbor Mr. Katz, who is building his own Tree out of trash. Meanwhile his sister Samara is secretly studying for her Bat Mitzvah with next-door neighbor and Holocaust survivor, Mr. Glassman. All the while his father, David, a professor of Jewish mysticism, is a non-believer. When, years later, David has a heart attack, he begins to believe God is speaking to him. While having an affair with one of his students, he delves into the complexities of Kabbalah. Months later Samara, too, grows obsessed with the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life—hiding her interest from those who love her most–and is overcome with reaching the Tree’s highest heights. The neighbors of Mile End have been there all along, but only one of them can catch her when she falls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth book in the seven-book series under the title “MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT.” As you will see, there is a theme based on the number SEVEN that runs all through the stories and Peter’s life. Each book in the seven-book series contains seven lighthearted tales from Peter’s life. Peter shares his experience, strength, and hope from his unique life. Peter’s early, wild years in the sixties were full of heavy alcoholic consumption, excessive sixties drug use, violence, arrests, broken bones, motorcycle riding, and endless hours in the gym. At nineteen years old, after seven years of alcoholic drinking, Peter crawled into the 12-step recovery program and began his journey into the spiritual realm. Almost immediately on entering the program, Peter had a spiritual awakening. Many years later, in the little historic seaport town of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Peter was to have a profound spiritual awakening in the form of a powerful “Kundalini Experience.” With this awakening the inner spiritual realms opened wide, and Peter was rocketed into a new world of health, happiness, and prosperity. Past life experiences and vivid visions became a daily occurrence. Unknowingly, Peter had connected with an ancient lineage of Meditation Masters whose energy was infused into Peter, changing his spiritual state and evolution forever. The secrets of the inner world were all revealed. At the same time, Peter was to discover all the hidden secrets of this quaint little historic seaport. To honor this town of Newburyport for being the place of Peter’s spiritual awakening, he has used the name in the title for his books. When asked what the books were about, Peter said he only had one thought: “Mysticism.” Peter shares the great times he had during this seven-year period with the great people, an abundance of Nature, and enjoying continuous insights and spiritual experiences. Peter hopes you enjoy his simple book of tales...
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of a Palestinian Dynasty written by Ilan Pappe and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this deeply researched political biography, Ilan Pappé traces the rise of the Husayni family of Jerusalem, who dominated Palestinian history from the early 1700s until the second half of the twentieth century. Viewing this sweeping saga through the prism of one family, the book sheds new light on crucial events—the invasion of Palestine by Napoleon, the decline of the Ottoman Empire, World War I, western colonialism, and the advent of Zionism—and provides an unforgettable picture of the Palestinian tragedy in its entirety. The Rise and Fall of a Palestinian Dynasty is the history of Palestinian politics before national movements and political parties: at the height of the Husaynis’ influence, positions in Jerusalem and Palestine could only be obtained through the family’s power base. In telling the story of one family, the book highlights the continuity between periods customarily divided into pre-modern and modern, pre-Zionist and Zionist, illuminating history as it was actually lived.
