  Merry Christmas? What if everything you thought you knew about one of the most popular world holidays was not exactly what you have been told? Would you accept this new information or would you reject it?Like the teachings of Yeshua Messiah that were rejected by the majority, the origins of the world’s favorite holiday are typically met with disbelief or overt dismissal. But the Almighty tells us in the Bible (and sometimes to the ears who will hear) that man-made holidays or so-called “holy” days do not honor him. So how did holidays that are not in the Bible and were never commanded by the Most High God become incorporated into churches? How has the entire world been deceived? What about those who are trying to be “politically correct”? Is Jesus the reason for the season? Should “Christ” be in Christmas? Explore the fascinating and sometimes shocking origins of Christmas and many of its popular traditions in this easy-to-read booklet that you will be unable to put down. But once you do, how will you deal with what you know moving forward? The answer is of course, up to you!

  Epic of the Earth - Reading...

  The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable. 
   
   
    
  Hall provides unparalleled insight into the ancient origins of climate change and argues that the Iliad exposes the deepest contradictions behind the environmental problems we have created. Indeed, it is possible that some of the violence done to the environment throughout history has been authorized, if not exacerbated, by the celebration of the exploitation of nature in Homer's poem. Drawing compelling analogies to contemporary poetry, literature, and film, Hall demonstrates that the Iliad, as a priceless document of the mindset of early humans, can help us understand the long history of ecological degradation and inspire activism to rescue our planet from disaster.

  FINALIST: MEMOIR, STORY CIRCLE AWARDS, 2024 
  FINALIST: NARRATIVE NONFICTION, INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS OF NEW ENGLAND AWARDS, 2024 
  In the days before Roe v. Wade, an ambitious young journalist, abandoned by her beau, leaves Michigan for a dream job on the city desk of a Rochester, NY newspaper. Burned once, she's eager for love, but as the only "girl" in the newsroom, she's more concerned about finding allies and making friends. When a new leading man appears, she recognizes a kindred spirit. Soon her bylined stories claim front-page space. However, when she becomes pregnant, she must switch her attention from deadlines to decisions.  
  With adoption on the horizon, she pushes her man to make a commitment. Sadly, he wants her, but not their daughter. Will Dusky ever find the little girl she longed to raise, and if she does, what will be the fallout from their years apart? In HOLE IN MY HEART, the author uses her skills as a journalist to report on the social history and long-term consequences of family separation.  
  If you like true stories with strong women narrators, you'll love Lorraine Dusky's timely and heart-rending memoir about motherhood, identity and love. Written and narrated by a leader in the movement to reform adoption practices and the first to come out of the era's closet of shame.
