Illustrations are cheery, colorful, and droll, adding depth to the text." --School Library Journal

The Guardian of the Mystical Rosary


Book Description

This book tries subtly to drop a hint in the mind of its readers that, despite ‘free will’, the gods might still be at play in the affairs of humans, using their characters to influence them in this world of duality where opposing poleheads persistently struggle to dominate the environment. While some cooperate wittingly to varying degrees, somehow godlike, some remain for the most part of it unwitting, thus puppets whose passions are the control strings in the hands of the gods and the godlike Should one dare, in philosophical imagination, to think God gave birth to twins, then this is replayed in Orisha, who made the mystical Rosary for his twins, Orishagbemi and Orishadami, to solve humanity problems, but who later fought after his transition, like darkness and brightness; a fight that caused the loss of the Rosary in the valley of crocodiles. The fate of humanity will depend on which side repossesses this Rosary. The descendants of these twins found expressions in two respective organizations. At the apex of one is Bwallangwu, immortal entity and the personal representative of Lucifer on earth. The opposing side, some members of an ancient religion, for certain reasons is hiding and could hardly get organized into a credible force. They engaged the service of a certain person in mask. One finds reoccurring in the book this duality phenomenon like mystical allegories and proverbs Eventually, Orisha that started it would end it in favour of the better side, to be decided by humanity themselves, for themselves.

PUSH


Book Description

Johnny Quinn shares his “wild dream” of playing in the NFL, being crushed after getting cut three times, losing $2.6 million in contracts, and blowing out his knee. At age thirty, when most professional athletes are considered “over the hill,” Johnny was competing for Team USA in the sport of bobsled at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. This book ushers readers through the valleys of life to the thrills of rocketing down icy mountains at 80+ mph with no seat belt. Discover how the author overcame failure on the road to achieving greatness. From an NFL failure to a US Olympian, Johnny Quinn had a “what’s next” attitude that led him to success he had never imagined. In Push, he looks at failure as a season of life rather than a death sentence. He provides incredible insight into the “what’s next” instead of “what could have been.” We all experience failure at some level; Quinn equips us to embrace change, accept risks, and learn to push through barriers, to live life on purpose.
