  Standing atop a mound of rocks, Mildred wrapped her blue padded jacket tightly around her and squinted against the sand-laden wind. To her right the Great Wall wound east for fourteen hundred miles until it reached the Yellow Sea. Before her lay the rocks and sand of the vast Gobi Desert. She would enter this feared place in peace God was here too. Missionary trio Mildred Cable (1878-1952) and Evangeline and Franscesca French were the first Englishwomen to cross the infamous Gobi Desert, living for years among the diverse peoples of northwestern China in places few Europeans ever reached. Educated and rich, Mildred Cable once planned to be a concert pianist. Instead she served the people of China through wars and revolutions. Whether speaking the truth to a brutal general who held her prisoner, educating generations of Chinese girls, building self-sustaining Christian communities, or traveling the ancient Silk Road on a mule cart, Mildred followed Jesus with grit, determination, intelligence, and faith.

  ASHA, Cosmo & Fluffy 
  theway back home   
  Book 2 of 6 – a trio reunited  
  In prehistoric Norway (5000 BC), siblings Asha and Cosmo continue their journey home alongside their newfound companion—Fluffy, a lost baby woolly mammoth who can speak. As they travel east toward a distant river Fluffy believes will lead to his herd, the trio deepens their bond through shared survival skills. Asha soothes Fluffy’s itchy ears with herbal remedies, Cosmo teaches stealth techniques (with comically poor results), and Fluffy impresses them by sniffing out food and water. 
  Their friendship is tested when a cave bear attacks their hillside camp. Fluffy bravely confronts the predator while Cosmo distracts it and Asha creates noise from a safe distance. Together, they drive the bear away, solidifying their trust in one another. That night, they realize they’ve become an unlikely family—a "herd" of their own—united by loyalty and shared purpose. 
  The initial opening credit music is “The famous 3”, which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes plus trumpets the talent of our heroes in a dangerous world using appropriate musical instruments, music type and mood. The closing music, “brave hearts, ends the story running to just over 3 minutes, harp, flute and drums suggest continuation of the journey into the next instalment.  
  The story and music itself runs to just over 1 hour and is narrated by claire francis, my wife. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

  The Essence of Christianity

  Ludwig Feuerbach

  In this, one of the most influential works of the post-Hegelian era, Feuerbach captures the synthesis that emerges from the dialectical process of a transcending Godhead & the rational & material world. In understanding the true nature of what it means to be fully human, he contends that we come face to face with the essence of Xian theology: human beings investing ordinary concepts with divine meaning & significance. The true danger to humanity occurs when theology is given the force of dogma & doctrine. Losing sight of its anthropological underpinnings & dependence upon or emergence from human nature, it then acquires an existence separate from that of humankind. He leaves nothing untouched: miracles, the Trinity, Creation, prayer, resurrection, immortality, faith & much more.The essential nature of manThe essence of religion considered generallyGod as a being of the understandingGod as a moral being or lawThe mystery of the incarnation; or, God as love, as a being of the heartThe mystery of the suffering GodThe mystery of the Trinity & the mother of GodThe mystery of the Logos & divine imageThe mystery of the cosmogonical principle in GodThe mystery of mysticism, or of nature in GodThe mystery of providence & creation out of nothingThe significance of the creation in JudaismThe omnipotence of feeling, or the mystery of prayerThe mystery of faith, the mystery of miracleThe mystery of the resurrection and of the miraculous conceptionThe mystery of the Christian Christ, or the personal GodThe distinction between Christianity & heathenismThe significance of voluntary celibacy & monachismThe Christian heaven, or personal immortalityThe essential standpoint of religionThe contradiction in the existence of GodThe contradiction in the revelation of GodThe contradiction in the nature of God in generalThe contradiction in the speculative doctrine of GodThe contradiction in the TrinityThe contradiction in the sacramentsThe contradiction of faith & loveConcluding application
