As author JJ Janice reflects on her surprise connection with a mother-daughter duo, she finds herself, an outsider, overwhelmed by mysteries regarding the short time it took for her to become a new member in this tight-knit family with a complicated past. How did she get here? What forces are at work? Why was she chosen to be a witness?Using her diary as guide, she sifts through layers of her imagination and shares her story in Entwined Hearts. It chronicles the ascent of forgiveness by and for three women who perhaps least expect it--all in two short years. Through the stories of Anita, who suffers from Alzheimer's; Lynn, Anita's daughter who struggles with bipolar disorder; and Janice, a friend to both, it investigates how relationships change and endure through challenges.Though this memoir touches on the difficult topics of Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, stress, drugs, incarceration, and alcoholism, it also looks at the world with kind generosity and love--a love that connected three unlikely women.

The Great American Rabbit Chase is the first part of several books revealing the attractions a little boy had for little girls and their body parts. His deep driving desire is to explore one body part in particular added fuel to his fire. The magnetic powers of this body part caused his desire to explore to grow with such intensity it almost became a necessity in his daily activities. This very special body part had once been referred to as a rabbit. His love and attraction for the rabbit soon became an addiction that controlled his mind for the better part of his childhood, youth, and young adulthood. Learning more about this body part began to open doors and he became enlightened and educated on certain other body parts. Living through the pleasures of these body parts filled his heart and mind with the desire to become more educated in the direction his addiction was leading him. As a young man, he found himself purposely becoming involved with older women. Sometimes he would solicit them to provide a training program for him in the art of making love. As he became more proficient at his craft his sexual escapades or rendezvouses mounted to some unknown number. They became written or tape-recorded memoirs for future reference. His addiction consumed him to the point it had become somewhat of an aura that was projected with almost every sound and move he made. This provided him with mental and physical satisfaction, but sometimes heartfelt pain. When his marriage failed, he decided to make it a lifelong dream to try to please every woman that he possibly could, to make up for the one he could not. Having achieved a large part of that lifelong dream, he felt the obligation to convey many stories of the happiness and pleasure he received along the way. The Great American Rabbit Chase and the books that follow have achieved just that. They portray actual accountings of the sexual nature for a period of between 45 to 50 years of the author's life. Sometimes the sexual encounters are explained in a very explicit, blow-by-blow, color and flavor added manner. This process does not and should not detract or diminish the parties involved in the lovemaking sessions these stories reveal in any way. They were all very special and wonderfully beautiful ladies. Some of them I can happily say became lifelong friends.

WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE? The purpose of a painting is to convey the beauty, or meaning in the artist's mind. The purpose of a cabinet is to serve the useful function it's maker intended. The purpose of a space exploration is to complete the mission it's scientists sought for. In every case the Purpose is determined by the original designer. The same is true for every human being. We are the most complex of all systems. Our purpose is determined by Almighty God our creator. Every person takes a different path in life, but their purpose is guided by the loving, redeeming hand of our Creator. He has revealed Himself to us in Jesus Christ. He works in many and various situations throughout our years to mature us in the self-giving love of Jesus. Even to fulfilling His words to love an enemy and go a second mile with one who has compelled us to go the first mile. It is this kind of sacrificial love that changes hearts bringing an enduring peace and joy for this life and into all eternity.

The Apostle John was the most venerated Christian leader throughout Asia Minor, particularly around Ephesus, where he had been the pastor for much of the last half of the first century. He outlived all the other apostles, in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy in John 21 v.20-24. The gospel that bore his name (written about 85 AD) was an instant success among late first-century Christians so that a book by him about ten years later, given almost totally to prophecy and graphically different, was nonetheless accepted and used in the churches for over 300 years.

The pink blob is the venom from the devil's scorpion-like tail, and it comes out of her claws, mouth, and porcupine hair, releasing a venom that looks like a Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. There's a hot spot inside this jelly venom called the orange sand, and it's a deadly slime when released. It forms a liquid jelly substance that traps animals, and the venom becomes live and stings, burns, and electrifies. When people or animals come in contact with this pink blob slime jelly orange sand, it deforms them into demons. In book one, the devil was a female and delivered 14 demons. In book two, some of the demons had siblings, and all these demons carried this venom. In book three, there's a story of the pink blob slime jelly orange sand. This substance comes alive and goes dormant. When the venom comes alive, it moves along the ground or in water like a jellyfish. It can also get in the air and live underground, just like the devil in book one. The devil was a fire-spraying dragon in book one, but her demons and siblings didn't spray fire because they were born on earth. The devil came here from Venus in book one. The venom hides and disappears when it's dormant, then it reactivates and becomes electric, triggering fiery lightning bolts when it becomes live.

By doing so it gives the reader a clear sense of that which is ultimately incomprehensible.Disclaimer: This book is mostly blank pages. If you're looking for a "gag" gift or perhaps a journal this could be the book for you.

The 561 people featured in these 4 books are those who went the extra mile and accomplished all or a great deal of their dream.On these pages Terry tells their story and presents people who reached the pinnacle of their career. You will meet leaders who did what othersassumed to be impossible.The popular song of the 1960 written by Joe Darion and composed by Mitch Leigh has continually inspired me: " To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe; this is my quest to follow that star no matter how hopeless no matter how far, I'll always dream the impossible dream and yes I'll reach the unreachable star." As a young child, his family was trapped in the clutches of Adolph Hitler and his Gestapo; it was leaders such as Winston Churchill who modeled these words and never let us be discouraged as the troops inch by inch re-captured freedom. Churchill said: "I do not listen to what people say, I watch what they do....Success is not final, failure is not fatal, its courage to continue that counts....A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity an opportunist sees opportunity in every difficulty. Although I have been a leading fan of Churchill, as I got to know the561 people in these four books, all of them have inspired me to do better and I hope that will be you as you learn about their lives.

Here the story of how Jesus was conceived is revealed. The details grow as more people enter the room. As the story unfolds, the trial of Jesus is not just about His actions.

Her commitment to the truth and mankind's rejection of the truth.Mary brings the Word of God into the world. However, she encounters the face of evil near the resurrection and her life's choices are put to a test!Mary is an exciting book for lovers of Christian literature and readers that appreciate impeccable writing and narration. The author's writing technique and distinct style of displaying Biblical content deserve to be applauded. I commend the author for the book's themes and the excellent tone throughout the pages. Every subject Christopher Graham touched on was absorbing.-Reviewed by Aaron Washington, Pacific Book Review"Overall, this is a joyously idiosyncratic perspective on the love of Mary and Jesus for one another, one that doubles as a poignant reflection on family, parenting, and loss."-Reviewed by Boze Herrington, US Review of Books
