Beschreibung

In 1913, deep in the red soil of Oklahoma, a twelve-year-old Black girl struck oil—and changed history. Sarah Rector’s discovery made headlines across America, but her sudden wealth came with danger, prejudice, and a fight for control over her own life. At a time when racial segregation ruled the land, Sarah’s fortune became both a blessing and a target. Politicians, opportunists, and strangers all wanted a piece of her newfound riches, but Sarah refused to be broken.
 
This is the untold, true story of a girl who turned a moment of luck into a legacy of courage. From courtroom battles to public scrutiny, from childhood dreams to millionaire reality, Sarah’s Oil reveals how one determined young girl defied the odds, shattered racial barriers, and claimed her rightful place in history.
 
If you think you know the American Dream, think again—Sarah Rector lived it before she was old enough to vote.
 
Discover the inspiring journey that still echoes today. Read Sarah’s Oil now and witness the power of resilience against all odds.

    Each of us has traumas, triggers, and painful experiences that have shaped our existence in this world. We carry these burdens with us as we navigate the realities of our lives. Learning to embody the truth of imago Dei is our catalyst for healing. We are each made in the image of God, and the Spirit of God lives within us. Therefore, we are allowed to listen to our Spirit. We are invited to develop our own Divine intuition, and we are empowered to trust our inner voice. We don't need anyone else's permission to navigate our life and faith, except our own. 
     
     
     
    With the powerful voice of a woman, pastor, mother, and advocate, Rev. Aurelia Dávila Pratt gives us the compassionate nudge and tools we need to access our inner authority. By stepping out of harmful belief systems informed by white supremacy and scarcity, we can step into healthy paradigms of abundance, liberation, and power. A Brown Girl's Epiphany is a love letter to all of us in need of guidance on our journey. Honest, vulnerable, and humble, Pratt imagines a world where the walking wounded become the fully healed and liberated, where our inner work becomes the starting point for creating heaven on earth.

    Autobiography of an Extraterrestrial: Experiences and Mastership of Unconditional Love lived on Earth Angels Dont Cry is the stunning sequel to Omnec Onecs autobiography FROM VENUS I CAME. This book is about the earthly life of the Venusian, who came to Earth from the astral Venus as a child and who grew up in the USA. Difficult family circumstances, constant changes of location and a spiritually unawakened environment presented very challenging conditions for the conscious child from Venus. The telepathic and sometimes physical contact with her friends and relatives from Venus as well as the awareness of her mission gave Omnec the strength to endure this life and to master it in love. Further rays of hope were her encounters with Indians, who recognized in her the prophesied Great White Hope, and in later years the re-encounter with her spiritual teachings through Paul Twitchell, who recognized her from an astral journey to Venus. Slowly, Omnecs way to the public was paved and the fulfillment of her mission as an Ambassador of Venus took hold with the publication of her life story by Lt. Col. Ret. Wendelle C. Stevens.The title, Angels Dont Cry, comes from a childhood anecdote.

    “Ferocious psychic need and volcanic energy drive this combined memoir, detective story and travelogue” from the author of The Female Eunuch (The New Yorker).   After her father died, influential feminist writer and public intellectual Germaine Greer realizes how little she knows about him. She decides to track the life of her father, an Australian intelligence officer during World War II, to uncover the roots of his secrecy and distance. As she painstakingly assembles the jigsaw pieces of the past, Greer discovers surprising secrets about her father, her family, and herself.   During her three-year quest, Greer travels from England to Australia, Tasmania, India, and Malta; searches through scores of genealogical, civil, and military archives; and delves into the memories of the men and women who may—or may not—have known Reg Greer.   Yet the heart of her “lyrical but brutal elegy” is her own emotional journey, as the startling facts behind her father’s façade force her to painfully examine her own notions of truth and loyalty, family and obligation (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   “Anyone who has done this kind of search will identify with Ms. Greer’s frustration, admire her persistence, laugh at her accuracy and rejoice in her discoveries.” —The New York Times Book Review   “The deeply affecting climax is a remarkable feat of family reconstruction.” —Publishers Weekly

    Before 2016, JD Vance was completely unknown to the American public. He 
    had a compelling life story: A poor kid from a dysfunctional family in 
    Middletown, Ohio, encouraged by the loving support of his grandmother and a 
    handful of others within his family and community. He rose from a broken 
    home and a broken community, joined the Marines, went to Yale Law School, 
    and ended up an elite lawyer working in Silicon Valley with some of the 
    richest and smartest people in the world. 
    Now, Vance is one of the most powerful and influential Republicans in the 
    country. But unlike many politicians, Vance is a public intellectual. Years 
    before he ran for public office, Vance was a prolific thinker, writer, and 
    speaker, grappling with some of the most important issues that face the 
    Republican Party and the nation today. 
    Vance has a solid grip on where the Republican Party has come from and 
    where it is heading. He sees the various factions and coalitions that make up 
    the Party and understands them deeply. As the Republican Party works to 
    adapt to the political changes initiated by Trump to truly become the profamily and pro-worker Party of the American middle class, Vance stands alone 
    as the most knowledgeable and capable politician to bring the Republican 
    Party—and the nation—into the post-Donald Trump world.

    Martin Luther was a German theologian, priest, author, composer, and previous Augustinian monk who is best recalled as a key figure in the Protestant Reformation and the creator of Lutheranism. 
    In the year 1507, Luther was ordained as a priest. He came to oppose certain Roman Catholic Church theories and practices, specifically the perspective on extravagances. In his Ninety-five Theses of 1517, Luther advised a scholastic evaluation of the practice and effectiveness of extravagances. His rejection to disavow all of his publications at the demand of Pope Leo X in the year 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet Plan of Worms in the year 1521 culminated in the pope's excommunication and the Holy Roman Emperor's condemnation as a hooligan. 
    Luther preached that redemption and, consequently, immortality aren't won through greats, but are only gotten as a completely free gift of God's grace through a follower's faith in Jesus Christ as sin's redeemer. By preaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely given knowledge, his faith assaulted the pope's power and office, and he battled sacerdotalism by thinking all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Lutherans are the ones who relate to them, and all of Luther's more comprehensive ideas, while Luther demanded Christian or Evangelical as the sole acceptable classifications for anybody who proclaimed Christ. 
    His translation of the Bible into the German vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more available to the laypersons, a substantial event in both the church and German culture. 
    This and many other things did Martin Luther do, all of which were key elements of the reformation of the church and the beginning of protestant denominations.
