A Searcher's Treasures


Book Description

“A Searcher’s Treasures” An Independent Study of God’s Word This book presents interpretations both old and new, both from the writer’s own studies and from the learned works of others. It is intended to help get Bible reading and study above the horizon and into view so that society can realize the greatness of God and better understand Him. The book challenges common beliefs to a degree, but to a greater degree it builds upon the foundations laid by the Church of which Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. The writer’s hope is that the more we know about God, the less we will question His ways and the more we will want to love, serve, and obey Him. The author feels that the greatest goal is to be precious in the Lord’s eyes, and there is no better way to do that than to introduce souls to His kingdom. The book delves into the realms of questions long-begging for answers, such as the role of evil spirits, their potential purposes, and how they can be accepted as real but yet responsive to mental health treatments. The book also searches out such things as the beginning of man in God’s image, the age of the earth, and an intriguing study of how God may have always had specific time intervals in the working of His will.

Hidden Treasure


Book Description

Hidden Treasure is a follow up to Oaklander's first book, Windows To Our Children. Most of the books available in working with this population are written from a traditional 'play therapy' point of view. The Gestalt Therapy-based approach provides a more effective method for psychotherapeutic work with children of all ages. The focus is on the relationship between the therapist and client, rather than observation and interpretation. It is a vigorous, dynamic approach.Violet Oaklander uses a wide variety of creative, expressive and projective techniques in her work, and each chapter reflects and exemplifies the use of this work in the service of therapy. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of ages, as well as individual, family and group settings. The book will interest child and adolescent psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, interns, school personnel as well as graduate-level students. Parents may also find it helpful, as well as adults who are interested in the child within.




Island Chaptal and the Ancient Aliens 'Treasure


Book Description

Okay, so it starts kind of like Hart to Hart. He’s March November, a self-made millionaire and former legendary hitman, who now runs Struthio Security, a wholly legitimate business catering to high-end clients in serious trouble—think being in the cross-hairs of a Nigerian warlord. He works with Island Chaptal, his girlfriend and partner. She used to be a computer engineer, but a lot of stuff happened, so now she’s his CTO and hacks poorly-protected devices and fiber optic cables for him, which kind of sounds like she slept her way to the top, but no, actually. Together, Island Chaptal and Mr. November fight crime. Mostly. This time though, they’re rescuing Joy—Island’s BFF—who ended up in a Cancún jail after nearly killing her boyfriend’s side chica with a three-feet tall birthday cake. Ancient aliens somehow get involved in this mess, and also a guy name Angel Somoza, who hates sloths. There’s gunfights, frenetic capering from Cancún to Cairo, passionate sex, Roomba cats, and a lot of questionable science thrown in. It’s the final chapter of the Spotless series, and just another Monday for March and Island.
