Summary

In "The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic," W. Warde Fowler meticulously explores the rich tapestry of religious festivities that characterized ancient Rome prior to the rise of the Empire. Fowler's literary style is characterized by rigorous scholarship and a clear, engaging prose that invites readers into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and societal norms. This work is situated within the context of classical studies and archaeology, employing both primary sources and contemporary scholarship to illuminate the significance of festivals as a reflection of Roman values and communal identity. W. Warde Fowler, a prominent classical scholar and a member of the British Academy, dedicated much of his academic career to the study of ancient Rome. His extensive knowledge of Roman culture, history, and religion, coupled with his belief in the importance of understanding the cultural fabric of ancient societies, profoundly influenced his writings. Fowler's scholarly background and contextual knowledge shine through as he examines how these festivals shaped public life and reinforced social cohesion in the Republic. This book is highly recommended for historians, archaeologists, and literature enthusiasts alike, offering a profound understanding of how festivals influenced not only the religious landscape of ancient Rome but also its politics and social dynamics. Fowler's work invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of these traditions and their relevance in today's cultural discourse.

    Bringing Hope To Hearts That Are Raw And Fragile 
Are you in an abusive relationship/marriage? 
Or have you been able to make the break? 
Do you feel stripped of your dignity and worth and your right to be safe? 
Are you grappling with guilt and shame? 
Are you seeking comfort and validation? 
Are you in need of strength and support? 
If so, then this book is for you! 
Over the 20 year period that I was trapped in an abusive marriage, I left and reconciled with my husband many times before God gave me the courage to break free once and for all. 
I wanted to find a book that would soothe my troubled spirit and show me clearly the Scriptures that speak of God's heart for hurting and abused women. I could not find such a book and so, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I wrote this 40-day devotional. This devotional aims to comfort and uplift the hurting heart of any woman who, like me, was overwhelmed by the pain of an abusive marriage and drowning in sorrow and regret, guilt and grief, shame, doubt and fear. 
This beautiful book is Spirit-filled with bite sized morsels to savour and digest. It is a book which ministers to women who have found the courage to break free of the cycle of abuse and are now desperately needing validation for their decision. It is also a book which can help women still in abuse to know that there is a way forward through Jesus, the One who invites us to bathe in His true and tender love; and who brings us freedom and joy, overcoming and healing - and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
 
The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
 
They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
 
All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
 
These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.

    If a poll were taken inquiring if you believed eggs could be Unscrambled, You’d be in the majority with the opinion that it was a rare foolishness to even consider. 
More scientific debaters would argue cooking fudges the egg proteins, breaks its chemical bonds, causing new bonds to form. On cooling the proteins cannot return to their raw configuration. Even if they did, it’d be impossible to wield cutlery in such a way as to separate the yolk from the white. The mixing & cooking are irreversible processes. 
As a mad Parallel thinker I disagree. 
You simply need an uncanny understanding of the components, the various players & their compositions to reverse the several severely transformative processes undergone. 
For You & I, Non-Unscramblers (of eggs), not simple. Yes. But I won’t bet that it is impossible, I don’t think you should.

    AN INSIDE LOOK AT INDIA’S GREATEST MYSTIC SAINT! 
 
THE CHANT 
 
The Hanuman Chalisa is a hymn in praise of Hanuman authored by Tulsi Das. The word 'chālīsā' means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Chalisa has forty verses. Hanuman is a great devotee of Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. He is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman – his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. 
 
Hanuman is the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor. 
 
Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person’s resilience and they emerge victorious in every situation. 
 
THE TEACHER 
 
Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a mystic saint and devotee of Hanuman. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. 
 
Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book 'Be Here Now' turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.
