  Danny adores his old TV. It’s rusty, outdated, and beyond his control—but it has been his loyal companion for years. He’s spent countless hours immersed in its endless stream of entertainment, from lighthearted comedies to gripping documentaries. Yet, there’s one thing he can’t stand: the horror films. 
  They creep onto his screen when he least expects them, playing relentlessly during his moments of relaxation. He can’t change the channel. He can’t turn them off. All he can do is endure. As much as these films terrify him, Danny remains paralyzed by an even greater fear—the unknown. The idea of replacing his TV, of stepping outside his comfort zone, feels more terrifying than the nightmares playing before his eyes. 
  Why does he cling to what torments him? Can he ever break free from this eerie cycle, or will he remain a prisoner of his own fears? 
  A haunting and thought-provoking psychological short story, The TV That Owned Danny explores the human tendency to hold on to what is familiar, even when it brings us suffering. If you love suspenseful, mind-bending tales that make you question reality, this audio book is for you. 
  Are you ready to step into Danny’s world?

  Can Edie uncover a hidden crime and bring the perpetrators to justice once agai
  Throughout the book and the series, Anthony explores how things are not always what they seem - how our 'thinking' often represents our imagined reality rather than what is necessarily true - and examines the nature of the link between thoughts and feelings. In so doing he gives readers the tools they need to understand their thoughts and emotions better and to connect with their inner wellbeing so that they can live happier, more fulfilled lives.

  John Knox - The Sharpened Sword

  John Knox spent his life with a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other and he wasn’t afraid to use either.     He began his theological life as a body guard to George Wishart – and it was when that young man was put to death by the religious authorities that John Knox was finally persuaded of the need to awaken his country from the death of injustice and spiritual poverty that afflicted it.     He was never built for a quiet life and when he ran from one danger, he often found himself headed straight for another. Escaping from the authorities brought him straight into a castle siege and from there he ended up as a galley slave on a French frigate. No wonder he appreciated liberty when he had felt the grasp of slavery’s chains and the cut of the enemy’s whip.  But his thirst for true freedom came from his longing for God’s Word to be preached. John knew that true liberty only came from being in service to God and his Kingdom. Many stood against him and they still do today… but he gave much to his country and to his God and the church and Scotland owe John Knox – they owe him thanks as they owe the God he served thanks for calling such men to be his preachers.

  The pilgrims encountered Fengxian County where people had been suffering drought for three years. The county magistrate issued a notice to recruit masters to summon rain. The monkey accepted the challenge and asked a dragon king for help, but the latter dared not help without an order from the Jade Emperor. Then the monkey went to the Jade Emperor but was told that the magistrate had offended Heaven, so the county would have no rain until a mountain of rice, a mountain of flour, and a gold lock collapsed. The news dispirited the monkey until deities told him that kindness was a mighty power that could destroythe mountains and break the lock. The monkey returned to the mortal world and instructed the magistrate to heal his soul. The rice and flour mountains and the gold lock collapsed immediately. The Jade Emperor then ordered the deities of rain, clouds, and wind to deliver rain to Fengxian County, driving away the prolonged drought.
