Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

    Tired of toxic celebrity culture distorting your habits, mental health, and self-esteem? Have you fallen prey to the manipulation of a narcissist or sociopath? Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It’s time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy. 
    In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world — one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests. 
    Alongside her personal journey, interwoven with profound stories of synchronicity and spirituality, Alanna highlights the evolution of morality, the growing influence of corporate greed, and the healing power of our interconnected world. Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface. 
    Knock It Off! is your guide to recognizing common predatory and abusive personalities in our world today. Alanna’s resilience, humor, and insightful spirituality shine through each shocking share, closing each chapter with helpful prompts and thoughtful considerations for you to live free from common deceptions.

    To understand the continued and far-reaching ministry of A. W. Tozer, it is important to know who he was, including his relationship with God. In The Life of A. W. Tozer, James Snyder lets us in on the life and times of a deep thinker who was not afraid to "tell it like it is" and never compromised his beliefs. Tozer's spiritual legacy continues today as his writings challenge audiences to a deeper relationship and worship of God in reverence and adoration. Here is Tozer's life story, from boyhood and his conversion at the age of seventeen, to his years of pastoring and writing more than forty books, at least two regarded as Christian classics that continue to appear on bestseller lists. Examining Tozer's life allows the listener to learn from a prophet with much to say against the compromises he observed in contemporary Christian living and the hope he found in his incredible God.

     If this were an Alfred Hitchcock movie, the solution would be obvious. Enter a stranger with wife problems of his own, who offers a violent -- and mutually advantageous - proposal.  
     Them in the time it takes to whisper a word, Kinsolving's normal life ends. What radiates like a mirage before him is wealth, security, and freedom. But lurking in the shadows are a brutal murder he cannot prevent, and a madman who stalks his every waking moment.
