Women hold the key for the solution to success in our Roman Catholic Church. This key has been hidden! Rise Catholic Women will not only tell you why, but how women can unlock the secrets that have been hidden from them, and expose the unnecessary control of men in decision making in the church. This informative book provides mostly unknown facts about the reasons priests are not allowed to marry. It answers questions that our pastors have been encouraged not to discuss. Sarah Harding shows us that even though statistics show the Catholic church is doing well in the United States, the influx of the Latino communities in our Church has covered up the fact that the non- Latino Catholic population has diminished. The shortage of priests has affected the salvation of souls to a large degree. Women need to rise and face the challenge to be heard. We need all our priests, not just those who have courageously endured celibacy, but the other one third who have left the Church to marry. There are twenty-thousand priests in the United States alone who have left the Church to marry. These priests could be called back to shepherd our churches. You hold the key to unlock the door for them to help save our Roman Catholic Church in America. Note from the author: I am extremely grateful for the professional help given to me by my daughter and granddaughter, Mary Alice Loucks and Nicole McMahon.
Sarah dreamed of being an astronaut and having a loving, kind husband. Instead, born in Iran to a Muslim family, she found herself in an arranged marriage at fourteen, her hopes and dreams dashed. She endured years of abuse that nearly drove her to suicide, sustained only by her love for her three sons. Finally, determined to escape for their sake, she took her children and fled, putting herself at the mercy of hired smugglers. Sarah's harrowing and risky journey took her from Iran to Sweden, via Turkey and a Norwegian prison, attempting to ensure a better future for herself and her children. Her courage and hard work paid off, eventually leading to a successful career in Sweden. Even so, old memories of being molested and raped haunted her, and she felt hollow inside. Then Sarah accepted Jesus as her personal Savior. She began experiencing miracles of healing of her hatred, shame, and despair, and even of her physical illnesses. Open your heart to the remarkable story of how God has worked in Sarah's life, and be prepared to have it change your own. He is able to restore hope, joy and purpose no matter what your circumstances. God, our heavenly Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit has done this for Sarah and He is able to do it for you!
Unlock the mystical powers of crystals. For thousands of years crystals and gemstones have adorned princesses, prophets, kings, and warriors, but they have also been used to invoke powerful healing energy and used as divination tools. The ancient Babylonian astrologers believed that white quartz crystals harnessed the power of the constellations to determine the future, while the Egyptians used stones such as obsidian to protect the wearer from evil. In fact, crystals are the most natural, empowering force we can work with to help unlock our own mystical powers. The Key to Crystals helps you master the art of crystal reading, develop your own intuitive powers along the way, and discover all there is to know about the magic of crystals. It uses a combination of detailed background information and fun, simple, interactive lessons and exercises to help you unlock your own mystical potential. In addition, each of the book's four main sections concludes with a specially designed "masterclass" that takes you to a deeper level of understanding, if you feel ready to do so. By understanding crystals and working with their powers, you too can discover the hidden energy of the cosmos that flows through you. Not only can you work with crystals for all forms of healing, life enhancement and making important choices, but also to divine the future and make your destiny what you want it to be.

When lives collide, and time runs out, will there be one final chance for redemption? Damaged by childhood trauma and a series of tragedies and disappointments, Aden Cassalotti, financially and emotionally insolvent, finds solace in a crack pipe. The marijuana and magic mushroom operations in his fertile hometown no longer rake in enough to sustain him. His lifelong friend and business partner, Noel Schuurman, also relies on the much-needed income. Aden's neglect and detachment has a profound effect on Noel. The brooding recluse becomes dangerously deluded and volatile. Noel has killed before and, with escalating pressures, not even his mother and sister are safe on their isolated plot. Aden accepts employment with a ruthless criminal enterprise in an urban slum where dope and flesh are pedalled. On a grisly errand to remove a corpse, he encounters Mandipa Ndlovu, who, starved and beaten, is being held with other sex slaves waiting to be sent to work. Kgotso and Senatla Shelile hail from the same home town as Aden. Having grown up together they share an intimate bond. The search to find Mandipa, Kgotso's abducted girlfriend, leads the Sheliles into the underbelly of Johannesburg. When fate throws the three men together in a Hillbrow strip club, the potential peril is heart-stopping.

Drawing on an ethnographic study with cancer patients, carers and practitioners in the UK, this book traces their efforts to access and interpret novel genomic tests, information and treatments as they craft personal and collective futures. Exploring multiple experiences of new diagnostic tests, research programmes and trials, advocacy and experimental therapies, the authors chart the different kinds of care and work involved in efforts to personalise cancer medicine, as well as the ways in which benefits and opportunities are unevenly realised and distributed. Comparing these experiences with policy and professional accounts of the ‘big’ future of personalised healthcare, the authors show how hope and care are multi-faceted, contingent and, at times, frustrated in the everyday complexities of living and working with cancer.
The idea of the book is that there are two questions for you to answer. This is the reason why there is a blank space in the middle for you to write down your answers. Please take your time to reflect on your experiences before you write down your answers. You will be surprised at the way your answers spontaneously start to flow. My answers to the questions, which I have called my scenario, are at the bottom of the page. If you have struggled finding your ideal partner, you may have to look deep within yourself in areas you are not aware of that need to be addressed to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
This groundbreaking guide leads you through the most essential mindfulness practices—from breathing exercises to body awareness techniques—for improving your physical and mental health. Written by a team of practicing therapists led by Sarah Silverton, this self-help guide reveals how mindfulness can help you self-treat depression, stress, anxiety, chronic illness, and childcare and relationship issues. As we progress through each chapter, we learn how to become aware of unhelpful automatic reactions to our emotions, feelings and experiences. Rather than ‘reacting’ to life as we always have, mindfulness shows us how to observe our experience and as a result behave in a way that is gentler, wiser, and more positive. Practical, accessible and featuring uncomplicated exercises to help the reader fully understand and adopt the mindfulness approach, this book truly is a breakthrough: the most friendly and engaging title available on the subject; and one which, like a trusted therapist, guides the reader through his or her problems and questions, anticipating their needs with kindness and compassion. “This book has so much potential to help people and contribute to the flowering of greater well-being and sanity on this planet.” —Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Mindfulness on the Go
