The sequel to Pax Romana: The Rise of Seren features fascinating new characters who prepare Mark for his eventual confrontation with Seren: his mysterious Chinese mentor Mei-Li, the beautiful Swedish kickboxer Rakel, and Japanese tech-whiz Tomoyuki. As a warrior, Mark transitions from using technological weapons to wielding supernatural ones in a dazzling display of the powers of good against the growing darkness.

MICHAEL THOMAS first dreamed of becoming a space traveler-or at least a science fiction writer-after seeing the 1956 film, Forbidden Planet. He held on to that dream all the way up to the writing of Pax Romana: The Rise of Seren and Pax Romana II: Escape from Babylon. He currently teaches Spanish and world literature and philosophy in the Great Texts Program at Baylor University.

There are many thoughts in life for which language seems entirely inadequate. How do we speak in ways that match the depth of the dynamics in our hearts and souls? It is impossible. Yet, poets seem to be the most adept at approximating that ability and some poets do it better than others. Michael Thomas is a Philosopher, an Artist, a Historian, a Spiritual seeker, and a Poet not necessarily in that order. The result is a tapestry of words which touch the soul, enlighten the mind and embolden the heart to beat humanly, unapologetically, in defiance of all conformity or judgmentalism. These poems are not just words, but living songs of freedom: freedom from the tyranny of culture, politics, religion, fear, and the self-imposed in-carceration of the spirit by conceit, pride, selfishness and cultivated fantasy. Open a third eye and read the nourishing works of Michael Thomas Poetry 2.

What does it take to succeed in Corporate America? From the Street Corner to the Corner Office by Michael J. Thomas is a savvy insider's look at how to effectively socialize, politicize, and patronize within the corporate environment. Using his own twenty seven year career with a Fortune 500 company as a reference guide, Mr. Thomas chronicles his improbable journey from an entry level position to that of corporate officer relying heavily on street smarts, personal courage, and the grace of God. Clearly written and filled with personal anecdotes, the author starts by examining the corporate culture, organizational life, corporate politics, and the good old boy network. He then turns his attention to the importance of good working relationships, not only with bosses, but with co-workers, mentors, and sponsors as well. The last bit of practical advice he offers deals with the power of taking intelligent risks. After speaking in broad and general terms, Mr. Thomas chooses to get rather personal. And it's this willingness to share the intimate details surrounding the arc of his career that distinguishes the book from others of its kind. From his first day on the job to the last, the author lets the reader in on the good, the bad, and ugly of it all without pulling punches, mincing words, or shading the truth. In the end, what you have here is a book that is roguishly brilliant, fun, and easy to read. With a little luck, when you've finished reading From the Street Corner to the Corner Office, Corporate America will be working for you as opposed to you merely working for it.

From an early age I understood suffering and struggling firsthand. It didn't take me long to realize life was not fair and there were no privileges waiting for me. No one would ever swoop in and save me. But that was not the end but the beginning of my story. I discovered through writing I could completely open the floodgates of my mind and let all my demons out to play on a blank page. I could release every stray thought, every sin, every alternate reality I could imagine. I was able to purge the heavy shadows and sweep out the ghosts. Pen and paper became an addiction and poetry was my favorite drug. These pages are chronicles of my youth, my times spent seeking God, and my search for the truth. Some of these poems are dark and some weigh heavy, but I hope you see the light at the end of my tunnel. It is my hope you can see the salvation that ebbs below. Enjoy this glimpse into my soul and take away what you will.

We all have our take on what is divine and what makes things divine. As we get older we tend to spend more time contemplating the divine. When the author, Michael Thomas, first saw a picture of this fresco, he was stricken with feelings of identification. For him, this picture was a wonderful representation of the divine, so he has chosen to share it with his readers as a personal expression of divinity. In his fifth volume of poetry, Michael Thomas becomes more philosophical and begins to plum the depths of humanity, looking for the gooodness that he can attach himself to . As readers, we have the chance to attach ourselves to divinity through his words.

After a series of dialogues with God and Buddha, the Rabbi finds himself face to face with Satan: discussing the issues on his mind. Unfortunately, Satan is preoccupied with obtaining his soul. This makes the communication a bit more difficult and complicated. Shockingly, Satan seems to find our hero as annoying as the two enlightened beings did. This leads to a sometimes very humorous, sometimes macabre series of conversations about the value of existence itself. Entertaining and informative, this third book in a series of Rabbi's conversations is more visceral and grounded; after all, he is talking to the most powerful being in the earthly realm.

Long gone are the days of fine gentlemen in lace collars, penning in the King's English, stories of bravery and altruism. In the modern era we are barraged with schlock and ponderous formulaic writings designed more to create sales than to expouse ideals. Fortunately, not everyone with ideals and a sense of honor is long dead. Michael Thomas is a throwback to a different time in that he writes romantically about everything. He is living proof that there is a place in this day and age for literary heroism, goodness, agape, history and honor. In this volume of poetry, Michael is a bit more introspective and explores what makes a man "good" and why a good man should be kind to everyone, even bad people. It is a refreshing break from people who are "All about ME and my writing."

A fingerprint is an isolated and distinct impression that belongs to one individual. It is also evidence that says someone was in a certain place and touched a particular object. In this particular study, the object touched is the mind. In the world of law enforcement, fingerprints are also used to identify those who have committed a crime. Hopefully, by the time you finish this book, you will be able to identify the foreign impressions that have been left on your mind.

What may look to the untrained eye like a barren landscape, looks to the trained eye like an illustration of wondrous beauty. What we see is less important than the perspective from which we see it. Michael Thomas sees things from way outside the box, and so has a fresh perspective we all can benefit from. It is difficult for an academic to see the ways of the world and it is uncommon for a worldly man to appreciate the realm of academia. It is a singular gift when one man can walk in both worlds, as a practicing normal human being as well as a student of mankind. Read this book and see for yourself.

Not since Sydney Carton has literature created such an enigmatic character as the Rabbi. A true dissident in attitude and behavior and yet a faithful spiritualist at heart, the Rabbi tumbles headlong through life in a state of irritated bliss and cockeyed understanding. I am reminded of Jesus saying: "We must become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven." Rabbi has mastered this. He sees the world as a simple creation where we are expected only to be grateful and kind. He has no time or inclination to obsess over the trivial pursuits of men. Treat yourself to his enlightening and hilarious exploits as he twists and turns his way to a place where he knows nothing and everything, serves no one and everyone, through sheer goodness discovers the secrets of magic in this life. A cross between Siddhartha and Walter Mitty, no matter what strange situation the Rabbi finds himself in, it entertains and enlightens.

At the point when you grasp the bread, you are coming in contact with the best articulation of His love. This adoration caused Him to persevere through the awful stripes on His back and made Him subject His body to be beaten, wounded and broken with the goal that yours can be entirety. What's more, when you share, you celebrate and discharge your confidence to accept His well being and completeness in return for your ailments and illnesses. At the point when you drink the wine, you are reminded that the blood of the blameless Child of God didn't simply bring you pardoning - it made you everlastingly equitable, heavenly furthermore, innocent.

As a youthful Christian experiencing childhood in a customary church, what struck me generally about the Blessed Fellowship was God's judgment. That's what I trusted except if I admitted every one of my wrongdoings prior to sharing, I would bring condemnation upon myself. From the start, I attempted to admit each and every transgression to get right with God prior to sharing, however after some time, I concluded that it was more straightforward to simply not have Fellowship. I accept that numerous Christians actually have that equivalent dread. Also, the typical adherent would have quite a large number unanswered inquiries and a wide range of stresses over welcoming judgment on himself. These originate from an error of key refrains regarding the matter.A few Christians keep thinking about whether they can share when they are not water immersed, while others are uncertain in the event that they need to go to classes before they can take thebread and wine. At the point when I turned into a minister and needed to serve the Blessed Fellowship, my quest for those answers drove me to see the caring heart of God communicated in the Master's Dinner. I found that God appointed the Sacred Fellowship not as a custom to be noticed, but rather as a gift to be gotten - the gift of wellbeing and completeness.

In the 1470's, Luca Pacioli invented the double-entry bookkeeping system still in use today. I say, "Shows you how quickly we advance!" But I am proved wrong by this book, a book which not only discusses the basic precepts of accounting, it discuss-es the temptations and mistakes that plague business owners everywhere. Both a book on Basic Accounting and a morality play, Michael Thomas has rewritten the place of accounting to include personal ac-counting for actions as well. It is a breath of fresh air to a field that has remained mostly static since the 1470's.

This edited book brings together documented evidence and theoretical propositions on the essential mediating role of digital technology in L2 teacher education and professional development. Topics range from technological affordances in teacher education, to challenges and responses to emergency transition from face to face to virtual professional development, to successful practices of online teacher training courses. Bringing together examples from various countries and contexts of how L2 teacher trainers and trainee teachers view these forced changes and react to them, the volume fills a gap in the use of digital technology in contexts where teacher educators and trainee teachers are not technology-literate and not prepared for technology-oriented education. In addition to a Foreword by Mark Warschauer and Introduction and Conclusion chapters by Editors, the volume features 13 full-length chapters by some of the well-known experts from countries such as Australia, Finland, Mexico, the UK, the USA, Spain, Singapore, Turkey and Sweden.
