Woman of Worship
What comes to mind when you think about worship? What we worship impacts our decisions and our actions. In the Old Testament, God provided a physical example to help us understand the way to enter His presence to worship. In this study, Woman of Worship, we will examine Biblical and present-day worshippers and what we might be worshipping without realizing it. Then we will walk through the Old Testament Tabernacle and contemplate the instructions and their significance to us as given by God to Moses during the Exodus. As we move on to the New Testament, we see the fulfillment of Old Testament symbols of worship in Jesus-the shadow, now a reality. If you want to dive deeper into your pursuit of Jesus, no matter the cost, this study book is for you. Filled with poignant questions, helpful challenges, and powerful personal testimony, Ruth takes the reader on a journey into worship that will encourage deeper practices and fresh motivations for true worship.... -Sharon Tedford, host of the award-winning podcast, "God in The Ordinary."

Skin Care Tips
The skin's importance is often overlooked by about a half of the world's population - mostly men - although this is rapidly changing. Even so, most of those who do worry about their skin are mainly interested in the areas that show like the face, neck and hands.However, the skin is not only the largest organ on the body (human or otherwise), it is also the membrane that literally holds us together. On a recent visit to a dermatologist, I described a small cut on my hand as 'nothing serious'. The dermatologist's response surprised me. "Your skin is not only there to keep bodily fluids in", he said, "but to keep pathogens out. Every time that barrier is damaged, it makes it easier for bacteria to get in. Bacteria can cause infections such as sepsis and blood poisoning which can be irreversible and so lethal". I am no longer so blas矇 about nicks and scratches as I once was in my silly, macho male way.Skin is also very sensitive to what is going on beneath it, which means that acne, pimples, dry or oily skin are early warnings of underlying problems. The problem for most people is that they treat the symptoms - the outbreak - rather than the underlying cause. This is hardly surprising, since skin care companies make hundreds of billions from selling creams, potions and lotions to mask these symptoms. This effectively allows the condition to continue.Having said that, continuous, regular skin care started from an early age is a good thing. However, you need impartial information from a specialist before deciding what kind of skin care regimen to follow. Just doing what one's parents do, or gathering a basketful of products from the local pharmacy is not good enough.Do your own research, and ask the right people, before you decide on how to protect yourself.
The Long Way to Tipperary
In " The Lost Boys of Sudan," a former "Lost Boy" takes on the poignant task of narrating the untold stories of Southern Sudan. This narrative emerges from the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s, a time marked by political upheaval and cultural transformations, leading to the displacement of countless children. The author, having lived through these experiences, offers an authentic voice that challenges the often foreign interpretations of these events. This book serves as an invitation for the "Lost Boys" and now "Lost Girls" to share their own distinct tales in their native tongues, thereby weaving a tapestry of personal stories that collectively embody the resilience, suffering, and triumphs of the Southern Sudanese people. These accounts are not just personal histories; they are testimonies to the indomitable spirit and destiny that define their community. While rooted in real journeys and events, the book does not claim to be a historical record. It maintains fidelity to the essence of actual incidents, yet acknowledges possible inaccuracies in timelines, names, and locations. Dialogues and conversations are often reimagined to mirror the original scenarios, emphasizing the narrative's emotional truth over factual precision. This work is a profound reflection on memory, identity, and the power of storytelling.

Practical Mysticism
"Mysticism is the art of union with Reality. The mystic is a person who has attained that union in greater or less degree; or who aims at and believes in such attainment." So writes Evelyn Underhill, author of Practical Mysticism. In this little book, she explains precisely what that means and how we can put it to use in everyday life.In surprisingly timeless terms but under the guise of "Christian Mysticism," Underhill describes in 1914 what could rightly be called "secular mindfulness" today. She doesn't use much Christian terminology, instead preferring words that may be considered "new age," which allows readers to explore the mystical aspects of their own worldview without betraying their deeply held beliefs.Practical Mysticism is not a guidebook for mystical practice, although it does provide some tips along the way. What it does give is an introduction for the sufficiently motivated; those who see (or want to see) the world in a different way.
Elephant Juice
'Terrified, the girl tried to scream, but her voice failed. She froze on the spot upon realising this menacing figure was within arm's reach. She held her breath as they stared at each other in hostile silence. The figure's bulging eyes ogled every inch of her trembling torso. She felt naked. Vulnerable, helpless, and frozen with fear, their foggy breath mingled. Then, without warning, the person pushed her violently and sent her hurtling backwards. A sickening crack rang out as she struck her head on the solid grave surround. Dazed and confused, bright flashes of light blurred her vision. Intense pain shot through her skull, and muddled her thoughts. Her mind begged for answers, as blood trickled from her ear and soaked into her collar. In God's name, please don't let me die!' Set in an English countryside village, this is a tragic story of what started out to be a game that went horribly wrong. As if sixteen-year-old, Charlotte, didn't have enough on her mind. Her best friend Isabella will almost certainly die unless she receives a heart transplant, soon.With the help of her deceased gran, Charlotte tries desperately to persuade her killer to confess before she can leave the earthly realms. Will she succeed, or will DCI Cunningham solve the case before the killer confesses?This is a story of love, and appreciation of family and friends, and how each one of us makes an impact on others lives.Enjoy this rollercoaster ride into the spirit world.

Young Adult Literature
Young adult literature is often referred to as the originating source for film adaptations that turn into large transmedia storyworlds and franchises. This is, however, only one of the transmedia interactions involving young adult literature in modern culture. This Element unfolds these relations focusing on transmedia practices that bridge the dominant public discursive split between print based and digital media. Today print and digital products work together as well as independently in interconnected networks and these practices puncture ideas of a media hierarchy. Specifically, it is demonstrated how literature for young people take part in transmedia storytelling on a macro level but also in so-called cluster works that work as transmedia storytelling on a micro level.

Setting My Sights On Stigma
"Wow! Mark offers a rich blend of personal insights and professional guidance to not only reduce mental health stigma in first responders but to fortify their resilience. He clearly explains the why of recommendations, backed by scientific research, while maintaining gripping readability. As I read this, I kept thinking "Ya, that's what I keep telling my clients" and "Ya, that's what my clients keep telling me." I believe this book provides proof to other first responders that they are not alone and they are not irreparably broken. It goes well beyond telling stories to be filled with a message of hope. This book is a call to action for first responders and their agencies to take better care of themselves with the tools to do just that." -Stephanie M. Conn, PhDLicenced Psychologist, First Responder PsychologyAuthor of Increasing Resilience in Police & Emergency Personnel: Strengthening Your Mental Armor Sights on StigmaMark Bouchard shares his experience of suffering from a post-traumatic stress injury due to his work as a police officer on an Emergency Response Team operator, along with the lessons that he learned during his recovery.

He takes the reader on an emotional journey, where he shares what it feels like to go through intense experiences as a police officer working on an elite SWAT / ERT team. This book will show you in vivid detail what it is like to face impossible situations as a front line police officer, and the long-term impacts of those experiences. It was written as a guide to help other police officers and first responders to navigate the psychological challenges of their career. Mark shares his own journalling that he wrote while off work on stress leave with a psychological injury. These journaling passages were written to one of Mark's closest friends at a time when he felt broken. He wasn't broken. He was injured, but it took him years to change his own mindset by learning from the top researchers and professionals. Now Mark shows a different type of courage by taking his deepest thoughts and feelings, the ones that he wanted to hide from everyone, and by showing them to the world to reduce mental health stigma. Real Lived Experience"This book is the 'REAL - LIVED - EXPERIENCE!!' Mark has turned tragedy into triumph, not only for himself but to all those that are able to read this very inspiring and informative book. Mark has exemplified true bravery by sharing his story and shining a light on the most invisible injuries that so many first responders experience each day.

Building Capabilities for Earth System Governance
This Element develops a new Strategic Capabilities Framework for studying and steering complex socio-ecological systems. It is driven by the central question of what are the most essential capabilities that ought to be fostered for addressing the fundamental 21st Century environmental challenges and Earth system transformations. The author's objective is to innovate transformative ideas toward better climate and ocean governance that are of interest both to academics and policymakers in the field. Rather than investigating the design and effectiveness of institutions in governing the climate and the oceans, the authors offer an alternative approach starting from the assumption that global governance arrangements must be informed by the capabilities of the communities affected. This Element aims to offer out-of-the-box thinking about capabilities-focused and community-centered frameworks that align multi-level systems of governance with the fundamental challenges of global environmental change. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Building Capabilities for Earth System Governance
This Element develops a new Strategic Capabilities Framework for studying and steering complex socio-ecological systems. It is driven by the central question of what are the most essential capabilities that ought to be fostered for addressing the fundamental 21st Century environmental challenges and Earth system transformations. The author's objective is to innovate transformative ideas toward better climate and ocean governance that are of interest both to academics and policymakers in the field. Rather than investigating the design and effectiveness of institutions in governing the climate and the oceans, the authors offer an alternative approach starting from the assumption that global governance arrangements must be informed by the capabilities of the communities affected. This Element aims to offer out-of-the-box thinking about capabilities-focused and community-centered frameworks that align multi-level systems of governance with the fundamental challenges of global environmental change.

This is the seventh in our popular sword and sorcery anthology series featuring eleven brand-new stories by Stephen Frame, Paul Batteiger, Andrew Graham, Phil Emery, Gavin Chappell, Jason M Waltz, Jalyn Renae Fiske, Craig Comer, Eric Ian Steele, Jon Zaremba, and Harry Elliott.In the spirit of such sword and sorcery greats: Robert E. Howard, Karl Edward Wagner, Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber and Lin Carter these tales will take you to exotic worlds of peril, adventure and dark sorceries.Here are just a few of the enthusiastic reviews for our previous volumes: For Volume 6: "Like a freight train Parallel Universe Publications continues to come down the line filled with S&S stories from authors new and old. Volume six features many names that have appeared in previous installments. Several are active authors in the community with stories appearing in different venues. A couple I was wholly unaware of before reading their stories.Twelve stories round out the table of contents. Many of them are sequels to previous stories. Return to Atlantis and Zothique. The Stone Snake is still well behind enemy lines. Knox is on a mission to eradicate evil from the world. Zain is the last line of defense in a city under siege. Shipwrecked Wardark must face down the Siren Queen.A few of my favorites were: Land of the Dead by Dev Agarwal features the Stone Snake and a boxing match he is not expected to win. Gods, Men, and Nephilim by David Dubrow mainly for the final revelation and denouement. The Golden Witch of Adzelgar by Scott McCloskey was the crown jewel for me..."Volume 1: "This is an entertaining anthology of new sword and sorcery with a diverse range of unique tales. The first story, "The Mirror of Torjan S繳l," is lyrical and bizarre in the spirit of Clark Ashton Smith. "The Horror from the Stars" features an intriguing sword and sorcery villain, a cosmic horror "body snatcher." "Trolls are Different" is not conventional sword and sorcery but nevertheless a compelling tale about defeating enemies via "poisoned hospitality." "Chain of Command" was excellent; it is humorous and vital sword and sorcery that features a duo who evoke Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. "Disruption of Destiny" was the most self-consciously literary story and reminded me of LeGuin's "Earthsea" short fiction. This one was quite moving. "The City of Silence" is an intriguing sword and sorcery political allegory that features an exiled king and his compassionate and loyal vizier. "Red" was a crime/quest narrative: very eclectic approach to S&S" with an accelerated ending. "The Reconstructed God" is uniquely written from the p.o.v. of a "familiar," a creature who serves a Power, usually a sorcerer; this tale one was quite atmospheric and the fantasy setting was vivid. All in all, an entertaining and fresh new anthology of sword and sorcery! Jim Pitts's cover is really distinctive; moreover, his interior illustrations are delightfully eerie, otherworldly, and evoke that "old school" charm."Also for Volume 1: "What an enjoyable book. Quality sword and sorcery stories and amazing art by Jim Pitts. The general tone of the book was dark with a few lighter tales. A couple of my favorite stories were by Steve Dilks and Adrian Cole. I would recomend this series to anyone with a love of fantasy. I will be waiting for volume 2."
