  “Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works   Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.   Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.  “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson   Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

  The Works of His Hands - A...

  Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work—and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview. His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity. 
   
   
   
  In the first half of the book, Sy begins with how his experiences and quest for knowledge as a student and early in his career brought him to question his materialist assumptions. He goes on to reveal how lessons from physics, biology, and human nature—all presented for lay audiences to easily understand—actually argue for belief in God. In the second half of the book, Sy looks at the arguments often presented against God in academic and scientific settings and explains the false foundations on which they rest. 
   
   
   
  For those who have been told that the realities of science call for a rejection of God—but can't quite get rid of the feeling that this shouldn't be true—The Works of His Hands is an ideal reminder that the two don't have to be bitter enemies.

  In every era, the sacred scripture has been recognized as a dynamic and transformative force in the lives of believers. The power of God's Word extends beyond its ancient origins, reaching into the hearts and minds of those who encounter its timeless truths. It is a force that guides, corrects, and inspires, offering direction in a world that is often confusing and chaotic. For many, the Word of God is not merely a collection of texts, but a living testament to divine authority and love. Through it, believers find solace, strength, and the assurance that they are never alone in their struggles. 
  The transformative power of scripture is evident in the lives of countless individuals who have experienced personal renewal and growth after embracing its teachings. It speaks to the deepest parts of the human spirit, addressing both the physical and emotional challenges that people face. By engaging with the Word, individuals are invited into a deeper understanding of life’s purpose, as well as the mystery of existence itself. This engagement often leads to a profound internal change, where the light of divine wisdom dispels the darkness of doubt and despair. 
  Moreover, the authority of God's Word is seen as the ultimate benchmark for truth and morality. It offers a foundation upon which personal beliefs and ethical standards can be built, providing guidance in making decisions that align with divine will. In a society where values may seem transient or subject to constant change, the immutable nature of scripture offers a sense of permanence and stability. The power of the Word lies not in coercion, but in its ability to reveal a higher calling, encouraging individuals to strive for a life of integrity, compassion, and righteousness.
