Jodi Faith doesn't want the world to hear her story from a “soap box” perspective, but rather in a way that lives may be changed by it. It’s her simple story – take it or leave it... A story about a God who pursued a quiet, broken sparrow and showed her He’d loved her since before time began. A story worthy of being told... — Charlotte Reed This is a bold work, intimate and entertaining. The casual-toned narrative is interspersed with Jodi’s song lyrics and pertinent Biblical verses. It is a story that is both deeply personal and relatable. A brave work. Jodi Faith is to be commended for her tenacity both in life and in sharing her story! — Sarah Stewart Jodi Faith reveals herself in this compelling story of lost- and found-ness. Her unabashed truth takes one’s breath away at times and stirs concern about the vulnerability of such exposure. This book is proof that everyone has an important story to tell because everyone is important to our Creator certainly, to each other essentially. The reader becomes privy to the transformative process Faith undergoes as her narrative unfolds without shame or blame in order to proclaim God’s grace in her life. Faith was driven to her knees countless times by life circumstances, but as often to praise and give thanks as otherwise. This story is far from over. — Jacqueline Chartrand Connect with international recording artist, speaker and media personality Jodi and Robert Faith (husband and business partner) at www.thefaithteamnetwork.com

Maintaining that women's storytelling is a telling activity, Karen McPherson "reads for guilt" in novels by five twentieth-century writers--Simone de Beauvoir (L'Invitée), Marguerite Duras (Le ravissement de Lol V. Stein), Anne Hébert (Kamouraska), Virginia Woolf (Mrs. Dalloway), and Nicole Brossard (Le désert mauve). She finds in the vocabulary and atmosphere of these novels a linking of female protagonists to crime and culpability. The guilt, however, is not clearly imputed or assumed; it tends to trouble the conscience of the entire narrative. Through critical close readings and an inquiry into the interrelations among narration, transgression, and gender, McPherson explores how the women in the stories come under suspicion and how they attempt to reverse or rewrite the guilty sentence. The author examines the complex process and language of incrimination, reflecting on its literary, philosophical, social, and political manifestations in the texts and contexts of the five novels. She looks for signs of possible subversion of the incriminating process within the texts: Can female protagonists (and women writers) escape the vicious circling of the story that would incriminate them? In the course of this book, the stories are made to reveal their strikingly modern and postmodern preoccupations with survival.

Maggie and Jack are young newly weds, living in medieval Coventry in 1909. They are happy and content. But long working hours seriously undermine Jack's health and they are forced to consider leaving their tight knit family and moving to either Australia or Canada. They pick Australia. As the departure date looms they and their families are obliged to consider their choices and what a move to the far side of the world will mean for all of them. In 1911 this was like moving to the other side of the galaxy. Set in Coventry between 1909 and 1911, the story focuses on how the family copes and what they plan to do against the historical background of the time.

This is the English version of the original in Portuguese (2017): “Nasci Mãe de Santo - A maravilhosa história da Yalorixá Mãe Senhora de Umbanda, Sacerdotisa de Z A M B Y” (ISBN 978-85-924121-0-4). The book is a tribute to Mãe Senhora de Umbanda, in her extremely rare condition as Yalorixá Priestess of Z A M B Y, Consecrated by the Most High, Daughter of Ogum Quebramar and Yansã Guaracyara, Leaders Orixás of the Tenda de Umbanda Morada dos Orixás. It describes her beautiful trajectory in Umbanda in this reincarnation (1930-2015), preceded that was by her Consecration by the HIGHEST - hence the title “I was born Mother of Saint”, with emphasis on her total adoration to the CREATOR, as the faithful and discreet servant, and her greater mission, given by Our Father OXALÁ - and fulfilled with praise, to carry the Love of Our Lord JESUS to the depths of the Abyss. Preliminarily to this description, covered in Part II of the book, it is made a contextualization in relation to Umbanda, as detailed in Part I, in which is given emphasis to the Meaning, Origin and Organization of UMBANDA, including related themes, such as religious syncretism, evolution of spirits, Umbral and Quimbanda. The gestation of the book dates back to the 1980s, when the author, Laerte do Cachoeira, was honored by Yansã Guaracyara with the mission of one day writing it, as Yobá of Yansã ('The Eyes of Yansã'). Throughout this period, records were made of guidelines and revelations made by the Orixás and the People of Exu when incorporated in Mãe Senhora de Umbanda during the giras (sessions) in the Terreiro, as well as testimonies made by Mãe Senhora, in addition to recordings in audios and videos, which were compiled and organized after her passage. The records that were selected and included in the book are duly referenced, either in the body of the text or in footnotes. Everything else in the book, although it expresses the author's own thought, it is his conviction that mirrors all guidance and help received from the Orixás and the Exu People, under the command of Ogum Quebramar and Yansã Guaracyara, for the elaboration of this tribute from the Tenda de Umbanda Morada dos Orixás to its Beloved Yalorixá. It is important to note that, in line with the Statutes of the Tenda de Umbanda Morada dos Orixás, this book will not be sold, either in part or in whole. To this end, the book, including all attachments, with photos, audios and videos, is being freely available on the internet (for unrestricted public access) at https://msumbanda.blogspot.com.br/ . However, it is requested that eventual quotes are properly referenced. Laerte do Cachoeira Yobá of Yansã December 4th, 2020

The Poet from Omaezaki A prime poetry of me... ln the primordial wave l saw infinities waves that made particles and photons that made atoms that made perfect molecules, bodies, planets, stars and Gods & Goddesses !!Milkway, Solarsystem, Oceans, the Natural Quantic Quantum Quanta Computer... Salt and water electrical conductor!!! Yeah, salt water conducts electricity. Pure healing power. Longevity??? Psalm 151 Do it by yourself!!! Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the oceans are a thinking mass? The entire Planet Gaia the entire Universe. And that maybe everything has no end. There is no end to big and small too! The New Physics that emerged says that our universe is not the only one that exists (macrocosm) and we still don t understand dark energy and how a particle is built instead of destroying it (microcosm).Perhaps the human being is creation of this universe. See human size is the exact size to study both microcosm and macrocosm. We are this universe trying to understand itself...

WOMEN, if you have ever struggled with the challenges of raising children, meeting financial needs, or dealing with personal relationship, and if you are in need of real deliverance from the patterns of behaviors that seem to have you trapped in emotional, physical, and spiritual hopelessness, then this book has a special message just for you. N L Robinson’s book, “Responding To The Call”, provides a personal view of the myriad of conflicts confronting women as they strive to obtain a well rounded and purpose filled life in Jesus Christ. She describes her own personal experience of having to overcome feeling of low self-esteem, self doubt, frustration and disappointment associated with her attempts to live a full and meaningful life. Through her writing she expresses how, through a personal relationship with God, you can obtain the love, joy, peace, happiness, and fulfillment that we all desire. James 1:22, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says”.

Can we change God’s mind? Don’t wait. This testimony speaks volumes on how being obedient and in a right standing relationship with Jesus truly makes a difference when facing dark hours in this thing called life. Prayer should be our first response, not our last option. Hi, I’m Teresa S Lee. Watch how my testimony confirms 2Kings 20:1-6 is alive today! PROOF (I AM) that there are grand benefits in being the King’s kid. This testimony reveals the importance of our posture towards God when facing troubles. Allowing God to rest, reside and rule in my heart has made me more than a conqueror. Being alone in that hospital room facing an illness that is life threatening with no family/friend support due to the 2020 Pandemic/Covid-19 protocols reminded me that Jesus was my strength when I am weak. Focusing on my problem solver versus my problem changed my situation from what could have been the end of my story to being a brand-new story of living life with purpose. Jesus was all I had, and all I needed. When I called upon his name, he did not hide his face from me. He sent his angels to encamp all around me, which provided me with a peace that still wow’s me to this day. Facing a health scare that many have lost their lives from can be terrifying. The peace God gave me during this time is unforgettable. Jesus truly is a way-maker, a promise keeper, and a light in the darkness. Come walk in God’s favor with me and leave encouraged knowing great is His mercy towards us. Learn that God is gentle at heart and promises his presence if we diligently seek him. Sit back and watch, I am PROOF that God delivers and restores. Blessings…. * 2Kings 20:1-6 New International Version (NIV) 1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.” 2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: 5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.
