  Is prayer to you just words? 
  Or have you ever felt, even once, that you were standing before God with your whole being… and your heart was embracing heaven? 
  🎙️ In this rare and powerful sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III speaks to us about the greatest spiritual relationship a human being can ever live: Prayer. 
  ✝️ Prayer is not just a form of piety… 
  Not a routine… 
  Not an obligation… 
  Not even a request… 
  Prayer is an encounter… a connection… a love… a divine presence. 
  It is the golden bridge that links heaven to earth. 
  It is Jacob’s ladder, stretching from your heart to the throne of God. 
  📖 The Bible says: 
  “Let my prayer be set before You like incense, the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.” (Psalm 141:2) 
  “With my whole heart I seek You; do not let me wander from Your commandments.” (Psalm 119:10) 
  “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:2) 
  “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” (Isaiah 56:7) 
  ⛪ Prayer is not only spoken words… 
  Prayer can be:A tearA glanceA silent acheA sacred silence 
  🕊️ Pure prayer is:Comfort for the sufferingRest for the lonelyA weapon for the spiritual warriorA terror to demonsA breath of life for the saints 
  ✝️ Even Christ Himself prayed… 
  He would withdraw and spend long hours in prayer, teaching us: 
  “Men ought always to pray and not lose heart.” (Luke 18:1) 
  “Enter into your inner room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret.” (Matthew 6:6) 
  💧 Prayer is:A spiritual incense rising from the heartA dialogue of love from the soul to the Spirit of GodThe longing of the limited toward the embrace of the Infinite.

  Black Sister Glory is a delicately themed, thought-provoking and brain jostling book aimed at touching the delicate and yet intricate well-beings of the average Black people’s existence all across the globe. Its chapters are themed based on the hidden struggles, challenges and everyday experiences of black men and women from hundreds and if not thousands of years before. 
  The author, through ample research, through re-education, and constant desire to learn about the black history as they were and as they had occurred, not only uncovers a harem of challenges faced by black women and sisters around the globe, and as well as from times past. 
  Black Sister Glory enlightens the minds of its readers to the societal norms and misplaced values that not only seek to demean the black race, but which have found a way to eat at and demolish the Black Sister Pride, the Black Sister Culture, and the Black Sister Values. 
  Each chapter of the book have been carefully scripted with an objective mindset and based solely on “actual facts”, and no work of fictional inclusion. 
  While Black Sister Glory harbors on the problems and deficiencies the black sisters around the globe are constantly met with from years before and into the current times, it also does enough to provide ample solutions to many of these problems. These solutions are practical, enticing, mind-challenging and definitely uplifting to the souls of the black populace as a whole. 
  The book also seeks to debunk untrue societal norms, cast away fabricated ideologies, and subsequently table the black sister in the proper light as the Queen, Mother and Goddess she was created to be and which she truly is. 
  A deeper dive into the book depicts the current state of the black populace in the United States as well as in major countries around the world.

  Lydia Maria Child grew up in the 1800s reading countless books. She defied the idea that girls weren't supposed to fill their minds with ideas and stories. They weren't supposed to write their own books, either, but that is exactly what Lydia Maria did. Although she gained remarkable success as a writer for children and adults, she sacrificed everything when she took up her pen against slavery. Lydia Maria believed that slavery was wrong--and she wasn't afraid to say so. As a result, her courageous words changed her life and helped change the course of American history.

  From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unteachables comes a hilarious story about a boy who is homeschooled in his grandmother’s retirement community…until he is forced to go to public school.  
  Dexter Foreman is twelve going on eighty. He has lived at The Pines retirement village with his grandmother since he was six years old, and as a result he gets along better with senior citizens than kids his own age. He's homeschooled by the residents up until the day the county’s truancy officer shows up and announces that Dex has to go to a “real” school, to the local middle school. 
  At school, Dex sticks out like a sore thumb. He dresses like a grandpa (and can be just as cranky). His taste in movies and music is decades out of date. Only a few students—like Gianna Greco, a reporter at the school’s newspaper—find him intriguing. For most, he is either a weirdo or a target. 
  Dexter would do anything to return to his old life at The Pines. But when his wish finally seems to be coming true, his old and new worlds collide in a way that surprises everyone—Dexter most of all.
