    The Unholy Silence is a harrowing true account of one family’s descent into spiritual warfare after moving into a seemingly ordinary home in Idaho. What began as a fresh start quickly spiraled into a nightmare of ghostly apparitions, shattered mirrors, demonic voices, and eerie manipulations that targeted their children, faith, and sanity. 
    Told with raw honesty and emotional depth, this memoir follows the author—a devoted husband, father, and Catholic—as he battles unseen forces that twist reality, test his beliefs, and slowly dismantle the life he built. From a terrifying mockery of his daughter to unholy rituals discovered in the shadows, every chapter peels back another layer of haunting. 
    But perhaps the most chilling aspect of all is the silence—the silence of the Church, of friends, of reason—and the silence that falls when the attacks stop… after he gives up fighting. 
    This is not a tale of victory. This is a reckoning. 
    Perfect for readers of real-life paranormal encounters, spiritual memoirs, and psychological horror grounded in truth, The Unholy Silence will stay with you long after the final page.

    In Skiing into the Bright Open Liv Arnesen describes the exhausting, exhilarating experience of being the first known woman to ski unsupported to the South Pole. 
     
     
     
    From her childhood in Norway to the seasons she spent working as a guide on Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, Arnesen courted the cold, and her memoir reflects the knowledge and passion for Arctic and Antarctic exploration that grew with her adventures in the wintry reaches of Norway and beyond. Tracing her path from the heroic stories of explorers like Fridtjof Nansen and Ernest Shackleton to her own crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap in 1992, Arnesen credits the inspiring feats of those who preceded her but also describes the obstacles—including niggling self-doubt—that tradition, convention, and downright prejudice put in her way as she endeavored to find the support and sponsorship granted to men in her field. 
     
     
     
    A tale of solitary adventure in the bleak and beautiful bone-chilling cold of Antarctica, Skiing into the Bright Open tells a story of gritty determination, thrilling achievement, and perseverance in the face of near despair and daunting odds; it is, ultimately, an object lesson in the power of a dream if one is willing to pursue it to the ends of the earth.

    What if the nature of reality is built on contradictions? 
    In Parmenides, Plato presents a dialogue unlike any other—one that turns philosophy inward to critique its own foundations. Through a dramatic meeting between Socrates and Parmenides, we’re led into the depths of metaphysical inquiry. Is the theory of Forms coherent? Can one truly speak of “being” without paradox? 
    This modern adaptation brings clarity to Plato’s dense logic and rigorous questioning, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in one of philosophy’s greatest challenges. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A sharp critique of the theory of Forms by the philosopher who first developed it 
    •	A journey through eight logical hypotheses that test the meaning of unity and being 
    •	The philosophical origins of metaphysics and dialectical reasoning 
    •	A clear, modernized translation that makes complex thought more accessible 
    Begin your journey into the heart of ancient metaphysical philosophy today with Parmenides—Plato’s boldest and most enigmatic dialogue.
