Summary

"Haunting. Riveting. Filled with hope."--Michelle Griep, author of Lost in Darkness 
 
When concert pianist Vivienne Mourdant's father dies, he leaves to her the care of a patient at Hurstwell Asylum. Vivienne had no idea the woman existed, and yet her portrait is shockingly familiar. When the asylum claims she was never a patient there, Vivienne is compelled to discover what happened to the figure she remembers from childhood dreams. 
 
The longer she lingers in the deep shadows and forgotten towers at Hurstwell, the fuzzier the line between sanity and madness becomes. She hears music no one else does, receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages, and untangles far more than is safe for her to know.  
 
But can she uncover the truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions? 
 
Joanna Davidson Politano casts a delightful spell with this lyrical look into the nature of women's independence and artistic expression during the Victorian era--and now. 
 
"Darkly premised and brilliantly presented. The Lost Melody serves a pitch-perfect blend of history, romance, mystery, and faith."--Booklist starred review

    Seven Wonders of Menopause: The Mother of All Wake-Up Calls 
    What if menopause was never a decline, but a divine design? 
    In this groundbreaking and deeply soulful audiobook, author and spiritual teacher Shavita Kotak reawakens the forgotten truth of menopause as a sacred rite of passage , a time when the body, spirit, and consciousness converge to birth the wise woman within. 
    Through intimate conversations with seven global pioneers,  Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Gladys McGarey, Dr. Vandana Shiva, Ibu Robin Lim, Alexandra Pope, Jane Hardwicke Collings, and Shavita herself, nearly 450 years of lived feminine wisdom flow into one voice of remembrance. 
    Blending sacred science, ancestral insight, and spiritual awakening, Seven Wonders of Menopause transforms the narrative of midlife from loss to liberation, from hormonal chaos to holy alchemy. 
    This is not the end of fertility; it’s the beginning of your power. 
    It’s the moment you remember who you truly are. 
    For every woman standing at the threshold of change, this is your invitation to rise.

    The Ten Commandments by Arthur W. Pink is a short introduction to God’s Moral Law. Pink shows that the Moral Law is still binding on all men today, that humanity will be judged for its violation, and that it is the rule of life and means of sanctification for the Christian. At one time, this was the prevailing understanding in Christianity.God gave the commandments for His own glory and also for the good of man. Each commandment has both a positive and negative force. If something is forbidden, the opposite virtue is enjoined. The chapter on the Fifth Commandment has a helpful section directed to parents and children. This little book is particularly relevant to the current struggles of our modern Godless and antinomian era, and it is vital that we return to these truths.This audiobook is read from the original as much as possible, with only minor changes to make it understandable to a listener.
