  Edgar Award Finalist: The shocking account of a Wyoming father who terrorized his family for years—until his children plotted a deadly solution. One cold November night, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, fifteen-year-old Richard Jahnke Jr., ROTC leader and former Boy Scout, waited for his parents to return from celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the night they met. When his father got out of the car, the boy blasted him through the heart with a twelve-gauge pump-action shotgun. Richard’s seventeen-year-old sister, Deborah, was sitting on the living room couch with a high-powered rifle—just in case her brother missed.   Hours later the Jahnke kids were behind bars. Days later they made headlines. So did the truth about the house of horrors on Cowpoke Road.   Was it cold-blooded murder? Or self-defense?   Richard Jahnke Sr., special agent for the IRS, gun collector, and avid reader of Soldier of Fortune, had been subjecting his wife, Maria, and both children to harrowing abuse—physical, psychological, and sexual—for years. Deborah and her brother conspired to finally put a stop to it themselves. But their fate was in the hands of a prejudiced and inept judicial system, and only public outcry could save them.   Written with the full and revealing cooperation of the Jahnkes, this finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime is “the ultimate family nightmare, played out in the heartland of America. . . . From the night of the murder through both trials, convictions and both youngsters’ eventual release . . . it’s gripping reading” (Chicago Tribune).

  Known as Mitra to the Indians, Mithra and Zarathustra (Zoroaster in Greek) to the Iranians, and Mithras to the Romans, this is the oldest of all living deities. Mithras was recognized as the greatest rival of Christianity, a greater threat even than the religion of Isis. If Rome had not become Christian, it would have become Mithrasian. Mithraisians had a sacrament that included wine as a symbol of sacrificial blood. Bread in wafers, or small loaves marked with a cross, was used to symbolize flesh. The priestly symbols were a staff, a ring, a hat, and a hooked sword/ members were called brothers, and priests were called "Father." Mithras was born on December 25th. He offered salvation based on faith, compassion, knowledge, and valor. He appealed to the poor, the slave and the freeman, as well as to the Roman aristocracy, the militia, and even to some emperors. The Christians sacked his temples, burned his books, and attacked his followers--they desecrated his temples, and built their own churches on the same foundations as the old Mithraic temples. Cooper examines Mithras and his religion in the most complete study ever done. He explores the various forms of this godworshiped from Lisbon to modrn Bangladesh, from the Scottish border to the Russian Steppesand investigates the worship. This is an exciting journey into living mythology, the history of a living god, and will fascinate modern Western readers who want to know more about the spiritual pathwhether they want to better understand contemporary Christianity, the basis of many contemporary ideaologies, mythology, or the Western Mystery Tradition.

  Empath Healing - The Ultimate...

  Empathy is feeling someone else's emotions and being able to put oneself in their shoes. Empathy can be seen as a process of seeing the world from someone else's perspective and understanding their point of view. It also includes an emotional response where the person suffering empathy tries to provide help or other form of consolation. Many people lack this ability to understand others because they are not able to take the perspective of another person, often called "mind-blindness", but those who experience it fully find it difficult to think about anything else, even when they want nothing more than to turn away. 
  The ability to empathize with people is a skill that we are taught, and not one that some people have naturally, or that society is able to cultivate – it comes from within each of us. Empathy can create strong bonds between humans, but it can also bring about conflict and hate. Empathy is a type of emotional awareness that is part of the understanding process. Empathy can be defined as "the capacity to recognize, understand, and share another person's feelings without being consciously aware of it." 
  This audiobook covers 
  ·        What Is Empathy? 
  ·        Types of Empaths 
  ·        The Main Empath Traits 
  ·        Levels of Empathy 
  ·        Struggles That Empaths Face 
  ·        Self-Care for Empathic People 
  And much more 
  To empathize with another is not only a sign of intelligence but also a sign of maturity. An empath does not have to be aware of the fact that he or she is capable of this kind of understanding, but when they do experience it, they are astonished that people can have such intricate emotions and feelings.
