Download or read book What does Our Lady Sound like written by Jude D'Souza and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book—as the name suggests—is an answer to questions posed to the author about the qualities of Mother Mary’s voice. He has summed it up in a few chapters with a lot of anecdotes and mystical revelations from her. Jude hears her voice all the time, literally and shares a very intimate bond with Mother being her son. He is caressed on his back with her and God’s warm touch or kiss when tense, sad or worried; Mother considers him very special. The author has opened up about his deep spiritual and mystical experiences in a very candid way. He felt the need to write this memoir-themed book as there was no book addressing the topic. Being close to her as a child is, his life is the stuff of great intellectual Saints’ stories. Truly make-believe. Mother is special and her son too. Like Mother like child.

Book excerpt: Ann Holmes seems an unlikely candidate for revelation. A sixteen-year-old runaway, she is an itinerant mushroom picker who lives in a tent. Her past has been hardscrabble. Then one November afternoon, in the foggy woods of North Fork, Washington, the Virgin comes to her, clear as day. Is this delusion, a product of her occasional drug use, or a true calling to God? Gradually word spreads, and thousands converge upon the already troubled town. For Tom Cross, an embittered logger who's been out of work since his son was paralysed in a terrible accident, the possibility that Ann's visions are real offers a last chance for him and his son. As Father Collins searches both his own soul and Ann's; as Carolyn struggles with her less than admirable intentions; as Tom alternates between despair and hope; Our Lady of the Forest combines suspense, grit and humour in a story of faith at a contemporary crossroad.

Book excerpt: What do you do when you're not who you thought you were? When Lira is returned to the alternate dimension of her birth, she discovers that she is Our Lady of Joy, the only Emotion Conduit to survive to maturity in that world's history. While being so important might seem like a dream come true for some girls, for this insecure heroine, it's closer to a nightmare. Making things even worse is her reluctant Guardian, who seems an unlikely match for the task despite vowing to stand as her sword and shield. A young man with an honorable heart still carrying the scars of youth, Rease has been shaped by tragedy into a highly protective Guardian. Soon enough, Lira finds herself dealing with the consequence of jealousy and possessiveness as she tries her best to understand the reasons behind his anger and unacceptable behavior towards her. Even though he's an unlikely suitor at first glance despite their mutual feelings of attraction, Rease is still the cutest boy Lira's ever met. Unwilling to simply comply with her accepted fate and soon doubting that her new Guardian is a gentleman of honor, Lira is all alone in this new world, her war dog Night the only one she can trust. But even as his daughter struggles to adapt to a life she never wanted, her father Jonas is taking heroic measures, crossing dimensions to rescue her. Only he has a secret of his own, a dark, fractured legacy he thought abandoned long ago. Returning to his criminal past as the Harvester of Roancliff, Jonas reconnects with the brave companions he needs for the heroic abduction of his daughter from the woman who stole her: the Lord High Commissioner, the single most powerful person in the Western Marches. But he has no choice, because he knows the fated truth: the future will bring a global conflict to their peaceful world, a war in which Our Lady must stand for the light. Author's note to potential readers: this is a lengthy, character-driven epic romantic fantasy written exclusively for readers who do not wish to look at maps or check character lists, but prefer to read for the emotionally immersive experience of "befriending" characters they love. Throughout the series, there are numerous strong female characters and the intelligent, honorable gentlemen who respect and appreciate them, as well as war dogs and a fussy, highly pampered cat or two. This series does contain adult themes, but there are no explicit or graphic sex scenes.
