Sinossi

In the heart-wrenching tale of Betwixt the Crowns, we journey back to a time of turmoil and displacement, where the Acadian people, a proud and resilient community, faced the wrath of imperial powers. From their ancestral lands in Acadia, stretching along the Atlantic coast of North America, they were forcibly uprooted and scattered across distant shores.

Amidst the clash of empires, the Acadians' refusal to pledge allegiance to the British Crown ignited a fuse of conflict. In 1755, the British military unleashed a campaign of ethnic cleansing, tearing families apart and exiling thousands to far-flung corners of the world.

Their story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a people determined to preserve their identity and traditions. Despite the hardships they endured, the Acadians clung fiercely to their language, culture, and faith. They carried their heritage with them as they embarked on a new chapter, rebuilding their lives in unfamiliar lands.

From the windswept shores of Nova Scotia to the fertile valleys of Louisiana, the Acadians persevered, establishing vibrant communities that thrived amidst adversity. Their legacy lives on in the rich tapestry of North American culture, a testament to their unwavering resilience and determination.

Betwixt the Crowns is a poignant exploration of the human cost of war and displacement, a story of loss and renewal that resonates across time. It sheds light on a forgotten chapter of history, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

With vivid prose and meticulous research, this book brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the Acadian people. It is a powerful narrative that delves into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of cultural heritage.

    “In this short story, you will see the tender heart of love and careful words of instruction of Mother. The law of kindness is on Mother’s tongue. She demonstrates watchful protection over Cammy and Sammy as she daily is in their presence. Parents can easily relate the mother’s heart, akin to the heart of Jesus as He is to His children. A wonderful and useful book. Had I had this book when my children were small, I certainly would have made use of it. I highly recommend this for all ages!” Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grand babies.“Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee’s hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children’s story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers.” Pastor Jeff Durbin- married father of four, sought after for his debate skills and also the main host of ApologiaRadio.com“Mara-lee has peeked into a child’s inquiring mind and has given solid answers to questions about how to hear and respond to God’s voice. Children will love the way Cammy’s Adventures introduces them to new experiences in their lives. This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom.” Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.

    Making Makers presents a comprehensive history of a seminal work of scholarship which has exerted a persistent attraction for scholars of war and strategy: Makers of Modern Strategy. It reveals the processes by which scholars conceived and devised the book, considering both successful and failed attempts to make and remake the work across the twentieth century, and illuminating its impact and legacy. It explains how and why these volumes took their particular forms, unearths the broader intellectual processes that shaped them, and reflects on the academic parameters of the study of war in the twentieth century. In presenting a complete genesis of the Makers project in the context of intellectual trends and historical contingency, this book reflects on a more complex and nuanced appraisal of the development of scholarship on war. In so doing it also offers contributions to the intellectual biographies of key figures in the history of war in the twentieth century, including Edward Mead Earle and Peter Paret. Making Makers contributes to an intellectual history of military history and contextualizes the place of history and historians in strategic and security studies. It is not only a history of the book, but a history of the networks of scholars involved in its creation, their careers, and lines of patronage, crossing international boundaries, from Europe to the USA, to Asia and Australia.

    Purpose of Love is a bold, unfiltered journey into the raw emotions, choices, and consequences that shape our deepest connections. From the opening chapter, “Pain: The Secret Ingredient for Greatness,” the book challenges the reader to see heartbreak not as an ending, but as the beginning of transformation. It asks the timeless question “Love. What’s that?” and guides you toward  “The Ultimate Purpose of Love” with clarity and honesty. 
    As you uncover   
    “Understanding How to Love,”the book dives into the delicate moments we rarely talk about like  how to react when someone you cherish says they feel numb. It fearlessly explores betrayal in  “Cheating: A Conscious Crossroad,”  
    digging into the human psyche in  “Why Do People Cheat? A Psychological Lens Beyond Relationships.”  
    But the story doesn’t stop with couples. It exposes the hidden collateral damage in “Cheating’s Silent Victims: Parents, Children, and the PTSD of Broken Families.” 
    Provocative, insightful, and emotionally charged, Purpose of Love is a guide, a mirror, and a wake-up call for anyone searching for truth in love’s chaos

    Exercises of healing and transformation for trauma survivors. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the eight keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery. The two books complement each other; but it is not necessary to have listened to the original to benefit from this workbook, which presents practical exercises and activities integral to safe trauma recovery and designed to support listeners' control of their mind, body, and life in the aftermath of trauma. 
     
     
     
    One thing is for sure: there is no one-size-fits-all method for healing trauma. This workbook will help listeners identify, assess, and celebrate the resources they already have, and add more resources to their toolbox. 
     
     
     
    Most importantly, the authors do not subscribe to the old motto "no pain, no gain," fostering instead the concept that healing from trauma should not be traumatic.

    Being in flow is when you are “in the zone,” “on your game,” or even “on fire.” It is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement, and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you—indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how to achieve that state, based on the enduring ancient Chinese wisdom of Daoist principles and practice. Millions of people have lived a better, happier, and more productive life by following all or some of these Daoist principles. This book provides the seven core principles of Daoism to help you live your life in productive yet relaxed flow for extended periods—or all the time.
