Life was anything but idyllic for Esther as a child. She grew up in Honduras in a small home built from driftwood collected along the beach from shipwrecks. With ten children in the house, food was scarce. But what her family lacked in material possessions, they made up for in love and a deep faith in God. At the tender age of seven, Esther was sent to live with a couple to work as their housemaid. What was done in love to provide Esther with food and better living accommodations turned into a twelve-year nightmare of physical and verbal abuse--something she kept hidden from her parents out of respect for their instruction to obey her employer. When Esther secured her freedom, she turned away from God and decided to do things her way. Sadly, her decisions led to more heartache and trials. The freedom she sought ended in other forms of slavery. Could she ever find true freedom? Did God hold the answer? Journey with Esther as she recounts her childhood, the lessons her parents taught her, her quest to come to America, two abusive marriages, and God's never-failing love and forgiveness in A Storm Within. Although her life has been battered by many storms, God has always been beside her.

And while there is nothing that we can desire that our abundant, unlimited Universe doesn’t have the capacity to give, we cannot receive that which we do not allow. This book is meant to stand on its own as another comprehensive volume of the Teachings of Abraham There is nothing that pleases Esther or me more than providing a forum where people from diverse environments can gather, lending their unique perspectives, asking Abraham their important questions. To actually feel the evolution and expansion of this message must surely be what Esther and I have been born to do. And the reason we know that is because it feels so very, very good to do it.” — From my heart, Jerry Hicks “Your work isn’t to convince someone to give you something you want; your work is to just find relief from wherever you are. When you get good at finding relief, you’ll begin to flow with your Stream, and these things that have been downstream waiting for you to queue up with them will begin to connect with you with such extraordinary persistence that people who are watching you will wonder what in the world has happened with you. There is great love here for you. And, for now, as always, we remain eternally and happily incomplete.” – Abraham Included is a link to download an audio excerpt from a live Art of Allowing Workshop with Abraham!

How many place names are there in the Hawaiian Islands? Even a rough estimate is impossible. Hawaiians named taro patches, rocks, trees, canoe landings, resting places in the forests, and the tiniest spots where miraculous events are believed to have taken place. And place names are far from static--names are constantly being given to new houses and buildings, streets and towns, and old names are replaced by new ones. It is essential, then, to record the names and the lore associated with them now, while Hawaiians are here to lend us their knowledge. And, whatever the fate of the Hawaiian language, the place names will endure. The first edition of Place Names of Hawaii contained only 1,125 entries. The coverage is expanded in the present edition to include about 4,000 entries, including names in English. Also, approximately 800 more names are included in this volume than appear in the second edition of the Atlas of Hawaii.
In this original study, Milne moves between close readings of letters, postcards and emails, and investigations of the material, technological infrastructures of these forms, to answer the question: How does presence function as an aesthetic and rhetorical strategy within networked communication practices? As her work reveals, the relation between old and new communication systems is more complex than allowed in much contemporary media theory. Although the correspondents of letters, postcards and emails are not, usually, present to one another as they write and read their exchanges, this does not necessarily inhibit affective communication. Indeed, this study demonstrates how physical absence may, in some instances, provide correspondents with intense intimacy and a spiritual, almost telepathic, sense of the other’s presence. While corresponding by letter, postcard or email, readers construe an imaginary, incorporeal body for their correspondents that, in turn, reworks their interlocutor’s self-presentation. In this regard the fantasy of presence reveals a key paradox of cultural communication, namely that material signifiers can be used to produce the experience of incorporeal presence.

Ghana has played a key role in African/Western relations since medieval times. For this reason and others, Ghana has evolved into a linguistic quilt that contains forty-four indigenous languages and several exotic ones, of which most Ghanians speak at least two. Using Accra, Ghana's capital, as a microcosm, Dakubu conducts a linguistic, historical, and ethnographic investigation of the origins and durability of this multilingualism and how it has effected Ghanaian society.
