The Miracle After the Storm
Ezekiel Whitfield, son of Ezra and Faith Whitfield, was born into the most loving home that he could've possibly asked for. He was taught excellent morals and values, and learned many things, especially how to become a man, just from listening to his dad, and watching how he treated his mom like the queen that she was. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes their family, and turns their lives upside down. That didn't stop them from trying to live the best life that they possibly could, regardless of the challenges, and unbearable pain that they had endured. Ezekiel continues to work hard to be the man that he knew that he was meant to be, however, upon meeting Stormie, who'd had a totally different upbringing from himself, he began participating in things that he normally wouldn't have. Stormie had stolen his heart, and he would've done anything for her. He knew she'd had a rough childhood and decided to stick with her because he felt that God had placed her in his life for a reason. His faith was important to him, and obeying God was his top priority. The longer Ezekiel is with Stormie, the more he begins to realize that he can't change her. Only God can. Will readers have the privilege of experiencing God perform the miracle that Ezekiel prays for every day as he prays for the love of his life, or does God have a different plan for his and her life? God's plans are always better than ours.
The Prince Vijaya Pala of Ceylon 1634-1654
This book, The Prince Vijaya Pala of Ceylon, traces the progress of the Portuguese in the Island of Ceylon. Written by P.E. Pieris, this book is a reprint of the 1927 edition. It deals exclusively with Prince Vijaya Pala, who often quarrelled with his brother, king Raja Sinha of Kandy, went over to the Portuguese and ended his days in exile. It consists of 24 documents that were exchanged between Prince Vijaya Pala, (the brother of Raja Sinha, King of Ceylon) and the Portuguese viceroy, Don Philipe Mascarenhas and the King of Portugal Dom Joao IV. These documents were written between 1634-1654. Of interest is the fact in Document 10, that Vijaya Pala wrote to his brother in Tamil. Tamil had been the court language of the kings of Kotte. And again, the appearance of the word 'Vedauntra' in Document 12 which means 'His Highness' or 'His Majesty.'

The Unworthy Servant
Aaron Finkelstein turned to his friend's cultic religious group for fellowship and a spiritual experience. That he found, but his pursuit of a personal relationship with God became a trek through a maze of legalism and confusion of doctrine. Extortion and money laundering were part and parcel of doing business with a homeless and penniless ministry. The mandate of a celibate ministry and the ban on homosexuality were obviously difficult to police, and their investigative methods into transgressions seriously flawed. There was curiosity and suspicion of members of minority ethnicity, and acknowledged duplicity in judgment when incidents involved those members. But what to do about the life savings Aaron had given them?

And of course, there awaits Nazareth -- unless the warnings of a certain mysterious angel prove true.

In the poem, This Body, artist Lauryn Hill begins, "My lips, these tits, my dimpled voluminous hips, swaying from side to side, holding me like a church congregation. . . ." In her piece, Tumbling Into Faith, scientist Anj Bee writes, "Slowly you forget how it feels to move through the world with magic pulsing through your veins. Slowly you forget the sensation of dancing in the rain. Survival strips the sacred from life." Coach Martha Jeffers details in her piece, Ceremonial Journey, "As if snuggled peacefully in the soft arms of what seemed a giant teddy bear, I gave myself permission to descend. Permission to test the boundaries of my consciousness to find a key I've been searching for all my life. . . ." Author Arminda Lindsay writes, "While I was busy exploring, excavating and reimagining God, I left my outward-facing light flashing I'M FINE, because deconstructing a lifetime of religious dogma doesn't keep the lights on; outward appearances do."

May the stories you encounter here be a stepping stone in your own exploration, a testament to the resilience of the human heart, and a source of inspiration to continue your path of growth and healing.

Imagine listening in as Mary Magdalene experiences that first Easter. Join Lazarus after Jesus raised him from the dead. Share with Mary the mother of Jesus in exile in Egypt after escaping Bethlehem. These are just some of the forty monologues this book offers. Arranged around the seasons of the church's year, these imagined reflections offer familiar characters from the four Gospels and Acts. They are joined by a wider cast of women and men: someone in the crowd listening to John the Baptist, a young woman at the Last Supper, pilgrims in Jerusalem at Pentecost. Each monologue is brief enough to use in public worship. As a preacher and worship leader, Neil Thorogood treasures the opportunity to open the Bible with others, and hopes these pieces will add to that experience. They offer new ways into familiar texts, sitting alongside biblical passages to open fresh encounters with Scripture and all it reveals. As someone who regularly seeks out good worship material, Thorogood knows the importance of quickly finding the right thing for the right moment. The indexes show which biblical texts each monologue is based upon, and link each piece to relevant seasons in the Revised Common Lectionary.

Her father's gift for her fifteenth name-day went well with her green tunic. Kyrin sat up to slip off her shoes. Rain drummed on the slate roof and in the window. Mother would have something to say if the wet dampened her tunic-though she wanted the shutter open for the fresh air. She said storms made her feel alive. In the morning the sun might be shining. Who can tell? I will fly with Lord Fenwer's falcons, high and far. Wind ripped the shutter around and slammed it against the outside wall. A winged shape hurtled past the sill with a shrill cry. Was it one of Lord Fenwer's birds? Kyrin leaned out and twisted to stare up, blinking against the almost dark and the rain. "Kyrin, your tunic-"Kyrin saw nothing but wind-blown rain. "Yes, mother." She wiped her face and reached for the shutter. The wind pulled at it. She struggled. Along the east side of the out-wall a small door opened onto the cliffs. It flapped in the wind, a crow's wing. A torch bobbed through it.

This is not a religious book. Their adventures grow out of a secular research background that points to survival of death as a natural and near certain fact. One's character, not beliefs, is the only yardstick determining one's destiny, a destiny not written in stone, but open to change as one navigates the new environment. Numen and Sephia, from different planets in the Milky Way galaxy, learn to overcome their mutual strangeness and work effectively to improve conditions for the Earth's 9 billion astral citizens, all with histories on the planet that range from the saintly to the demonic and the wealthy to the destitute. These histories impact the Astral environment in many ways. War breeds violent death and overwhelms the receiving stations. Exclusivist religions have to be abolished. Brutes and terrorists must be quarantined, then rehabilitated if possible. Orphaned children cut off by death need to be loved and educated. Suicides must be nursed back to health. Spirits roaming the Earth and sewing confusion everywhere must be stopped. Aliens threatening invasion must be reasoned with. Music and the arts must be regulated to some degree. The power of Gaia, the soul of the Earth, needs to be harnessed for good and away from destruction. Earth's wild animals, harvested for sex and fashion, must be preserved.

Their powers are limited, but they were hero and heroine on their planets, and they have now accepted a more challenging role as servants to a planet not their own. A final challenge was learning how to love each other, their personalities as different as ice from ember.
