  Today, so many are fearful of the unknown – a crumbling economy, job loss, loneliness, terrorism, tragic  news around every corner.  We are overwhelmed.  Does the security and peace that should come from knowing we are in the hands of a loving God now seem to be an empty promise?  Perhaps that’s because we have built our foundation on someone else’s faith – parents’, friend’s, or pastor’s, so we merely inherit a relationship with Jesus, but never find our own.  A true storyteller and a teacher with a heart for ministry, Mark Hall traces the tragic, downward spiral that leads to a life of fear and spiritual compromise, and then charts the hopeful, upward road to the joy and confidence that comes when we claim our very own Jesus. Through fascinating personal stories, scriptural insights, and practical interactive studies, Your Own Jesus will liberate readers from compromise and empower them with joy and confidence.

  Self-Control - The Power Within...

  Self-control is the ability to regulate one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in pursuit of long-term goals, and it is fundamental to personal success and well-being. It involves the capacity to override impulses, manage distractions, and resist temptations that can derail progress. Understanding self-control begins with acknowledging that it is not merely a matter of sheer willpower; it is a dynamic process influenced by both internal states and external circumstances. 
  At its core, self-control is a mental muscle that can be strengthened with practice. Like physical strength, it improves gradually through repeated exercise and conscious effort. When an individual resists an immediate temptation, they are, in effect, training their brain to prioritize long-term benefits over short-term pleasure. This gradual build-up of self-regulatory strength allows people to make choices that align more closely with their values and long-term objectives, rather than succumbing to momentary desires. 
  The importance of self-control extends to various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional endeavors. It helps maintain a balance between emotion and reason, enabling individuals to navigate stressful situations and make decisions that are both thoughtful and deliberate. High levels of self-control can contribute to improved health, enhanced productivity, and more satisfying interpersonal relationships by reducing impulsive actions that may lead to negative outcomes.

  When Deputy Sam Brooks commits to something, nothing can sway him--not just on the job as liaison between the Mercy Falls sheriff's department and PEAK Rescue, but in his private life. He's the one who stuck around to take care of his mother after his father's accidental death. And he's the one--perhaps the only one--who believes Sierra Rose is the perfect girl for him. Safe, practical, and organized, she's nothing like her hippie, impulsive, bleeding heart sister, Willow. 
   
  Willow, however, has been in love with Sam Brooks for as long as she can remember. But she wants her sister to have a happy ending. Besides, Willow has other things to focus on--namely, nabbing the job as youth pastor for her small-town church. Best thing for her to do is to purge Sam from her heart. 
   
  Neither can predict the events that will bring them together in a fight for their lives in the forbidding wilderness of Glacier National Park. Stranded, injured, and with the winter weather closing in, Sam and Willow will have to work together to save a crew of terrified teenagers. As they fight to survive, they might just discover a new hope for love.

  'Zimler is an honest, powerful writer' The Guardian
  'pacey and accessible… deeply moving' The Observer
  At the dawn of the nineteenth century, John Stewart Zarco lives out an inquisitive, naive childhood in his idyllic Porto community. But societal prejudices against his family's Jewish faith shatter his innocence and even come to threaten his life.
  Following the tragic death of his dearest friend, it is only his unlikely bond with Midnight, an African healer and freed slave, that restores a sense of safety. But this fragile, fleeting peace is destroyed when Napoleon's armies invade Portugal and John suffers another devastating loss – one rooted in unspeakable betrayal and authored by those closest to him. The revelation sets John on course for antebellum America, in what might ultimately prove to be a doomed quest for hope amid unspeakable cruelty and sin.
  Rich in historical detail and mysticism, Hunting Midnight is Richard Zimler's mesmerising tale of deception, guilt, forgiveness and devotion, played out against a backdrop of war, slavery and religious oppression.
  'I defy anyone to put this book down. It is a wonderful novel; a big, bold-hearted love story that will sweep you up and take you, uncomplaining, on a journey full of heartbreak and light.' Nicholas Shakespeare
  'A gripping adventure story, which can also be read at deeper levels' The Independent
  'Zimler packs his tale with exotic detail… absorbing' Publishers Weekly

  Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

  What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
   
  Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
   
  Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
   
  Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
   
  Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
   
  Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.
