Summary

In "Mearing Stones: Leaves from My Note-Book on Tramp in Donegal," Joseph Campbell intricately weaves his poetic reflections and vivid observations while exploring the rugged landscapes of Donegal, Ireland. The work manifests a lyrical style that blends prose and poetry, capturing the interplay of myth, nature, and the human experience. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Ireland, Campbell's narrative is steeped in regional folklore and resonant imagery, showcasing a deep appreciation for the land and its stories, revealing a vivid tapestry of life intertwined with the natural world. Joseph Campbell, a prominent mythologist and writer, was profoundly influenced by his travels and the Celtic heritage that shaped his childhood. His fascination with mythology and archetypal patterns in human culture shines through as he navigates the essence of his surroundings. Campbell's erudition in comparative mythology, combined with his passionate exploration of the Irish landscape, allows him to reflect on broader themes of identity, belonging, and the metaphysical connections between humanity and nature in this poignant work. I highly recommend "Mearing Stones" to readers who seek not only to explore enchanting landscapes but also to delve into the rich interplay of myth, memory, and introspection. Campbell's evocative prose provides a unique lens through which to understand both the external world and the internal landscapes of the human spirit.

    It's Never Too Late to Tackle Your Dreams! 
Mike Flynt was swapping stories with some old football buddies when he brought up the biggest regret of his life: getting kicked off the college team before his senior year. So, one of his pals said, "Why not do something about it?" Most 59-year-olds would have laughed. Flynt's only concern was his eligibility. He not only returned to college football, but actually made the team at his alma mater - Sul Ross State, an NCAA division III school. 
His remarkable story begins with a tough upbringing by a violent father who trained him to fight at every opportunity. His fighting habit took him in and out of jail several times, until a faith conversion turned his life around on the very day he was contemplating suicide. 
Mike Flynt has much to offer others, not only through his story, but through his belief that it’s never too late for God to heal your heart and fulfill your dreams.

    "Don't You Dare" is a compelling story that weaves together a current-day journey of discovery and a true-life love story between two women that took place over a hundred years ago. Newspaper headlines and stories back then didn't mention LGBTQ people. The LGBTQ community loved and lived in the background of society because it was too dangerous to do otherwise. All were hidden, just like the wedding photos belonging to author Gayla Turner's grandmother – Ruby. This unforgettable book begins with the discovery of these hidden wedding photos dated June 8, 1915. As these photos unveiled an awe-inspiring secret, Gayla Turner embarked on a seven-year journey to find out more about her grandmother and the woman standing next to her dressed as the groom.Curiosity led to extensive research that uncovered a love story between Ruby and the mystery woman in the photos. The author also uncovered a secret lesbian social club that was formed in the early 1900s by a local businesswoman. Women from as far away as Chicago traveled by train to the little farm town of Amherst, Wisconsin, to attend her exclusive parties. The local town people thought Cora held private tea and card parties so single young ladies could talk about how to find a husband. Little did they know, finding a man was not a subject of their conversations.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses promised me they could offer the best life ever. 
A life where every question had an answer. Every pain had a purpose. Every flaw had a fix. 
They told me that if I stayed faithful, followed the rules, suppressed my doubts, and endured the shame, I’d be rewarded with paradise, with peace, with love. 
And I believed them. Because I was already carrying the weight of not being enough. I thought obedience could earn me love. That being good could make me worthy. I wasn’t born into the religion, but I was born into the conditions that made it feel like salvation. 
What they offered felt familiar: conditional love dressed as truth. 
A place to belong… as long as I didn’t become too much. 
So I tried. I gave them my voice, my body, my mind, and the years I’ll never get back. I submitted. I silenced myself. I followed the rules. 
And still, it was never enough. 
This book is not just about leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses. 
It’s about untangling the lie that love must be earned. 
It’s about the painful, beautiful, messy process of learning how to belong to myself. 
They promised me the best life ever. 
But what I found was something they couldn’t offer. 
I found the best life after.
