    When Brie receives a large, attachable "finger" that enhances sensation, the first thing she does is stick it on her clit. It works as planned and she proceeds to use it and abuse it, losing track of time in the process. Her best friend and co-worker, Erica, visits to investigate why Brie missed work, and Brie shares her new toy with her, allowing Erica to experience penetration as the giver for the first time. 
    The time finally comes to return the "finger," but Brie ends up trading it for a little red pill that creates a sizeable growth between her legs. This thing is the real deal, and Brie knows exactly who she wants to try it with. 
    When Erica begins having trouble keeping her food down, Brie starts to suspect something's up. While she first fears her lover's gotten herself knocked up by someone else, she soon realizes the most likely culprit is actually... herself. 
    Their use of the magical pill will determine the direction of not only their relationship, but their lives. 
    This book contains explicit sex, including use of toys, futa on female, and futa on futa.

    Angkor Wat, in northwest Cambodia, is the world's largest spiritual structure in the shape of a temple complex, with an acreage of 401 +344 acres. A quincunx of 4 towers surrounds a center spire that rises up to a height of 65 meters (213 feet) in the air in the temple's heart. The temple is separated into 3 rectangle-shaped galleries, each of which rises over the one before it. It's surrounded by a 3.6-kilometer-long (24-mile-long) external wall and a five-kilometer-long (three-mile-long) moat. 
    The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
    Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact.

    The following three topics will be covered in this book: 
    Martin Luther King - From 1955 till his assassination in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist clergyman and activist who ended up being the most identifiable voice and leader in the American civil liberties movement. King used nonviolence and civil disobedience to advance civil liberties, inspired by his Christian convictions and Mahatma Gandhi's tranquil work. He was the child of Martin Luther King Sr., an early civil liberties leader and clergyman. King marched for black people's right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other fundamental civil liberties, and he led them. 
    Mahatma Gandhi - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian attorney, anti-colonial patriot, and political ethicist who used nonviolent resistance to lead the triumphant struggle for India's independence from British rule, motivating civil liberties and liberty movements around the globe. The epithet Mahtm (which means "great-souled" or "age-old" in Sanskrit) was at first appointed to him in South Africa in the year 1914 and is now used all across the world. Gandhi was born into a Hindu family in seaside Gujarat and studied law at the Inner Temple in London. In the year 1893, he came to South Africa to represent an Indian business owner in a case after 2 years in India, where he was not able to establish a rewarding law practice. 
    Mother Teresa - Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, typically referred to as Saint Teresa of Calcutta in the Catholic Church, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She was born in Skopje (today the capital of North Macedonia), which was then part of the Ottoman Empire's Kosovo Vilayet. After eighteen years in Skopje, she went to Ireland and ultimately to India, where she spent the remainder of her life.

    Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
    Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
    But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
    In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find
    
    - exercises
    - worksheets
    - Scripture readings, and
    - reflection prompts
    to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
    Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.
