  The Prayer Beads - Poems for the...

  Prayer is universal. It is common to all cultures and all religions. It is the way we reach out to the Divine. 
  I think of prayer as a clay urn we lower hand over hand into the well of our hearts, the well that opens to the unlimited water table of blessings. 
  There are different reasons we go the well. There are dark times when we face doubt and loss. There are times when the fire of inspiration lifts our minds and hearts to a new possibility. And there are times when we celebrate the feeling of being at one with all around us. 
  The Prayer Beads is divided into three sections: Poems for the Dark Night; Poems for Renewal; and Poems for the Harvest. 
  I encourage you to linger on each poem as if it were a prayer bead, to linger on each poem until you feel it in your fingertips.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  When you are wronged by the world, will you be broken or will you right those wrongs? Taken from his family on the Western American Frontier, Herron Fisher is forced into a decade of slavery in a Native American camp. As he continues to grow in stature and skill he fights to survive as he is threatened at every turn. 
  Herron is challenged with confronting the brutality of an outlaw-controlled land. A ruthless group, known as the Peacemakers, reign terror on the frontier.  Unable to avoid their tyranny, Herron is left to make a choice: Will he allow the persecuted to continue to be oppressed? Or will he risk everything, to do for others what they can not do for themselves?

  From Shade to Shine - New Poems

  This collection of poems begins in the growing darkness of November, stretches through Advent and the seasons leading to Easter and to Pentecost, and ends in the budding light of the Scottish Orkney Islands, where the canonical hours measure time over centuries and where God broods over an austere and beautiful landscape. The measurement of time passing and returning, year after year, in the rhythms of the seasons and of the liturgical year, create the pace and the song. But in the biblical voices of Magdalene, Mary, Abel, and Eve, and in the grim historical and political realities of war and suffering, one also hears lament and finds the poet' s clear-eyed gaze straight into life' s challenges. Memory is at work here, too, in personal reminiscences and in theological reflection. As one philosopher has said, " All truth is God' s truth."
  
  
  From Shade to Shine is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

  'Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.'
  Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning.
  But an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge.
  Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an award-winning play for a solo actor, taking us deep into a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game.
  After several acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, the play received its European premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in April 2022. It was produced by Empire Street Productions, directed by Justin Martin, and starred Jodie Comer, the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning star of TV's Killing Eve, making her West End debut.
  It won Best New Play at both the Olivier Awards and the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2023.

  "Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" is an unflinching, epic portrayal of one of history’s most harrowing military retreats. It explores the catastrophic consequences of imperial hubris, the brutal realities o
