Synopsis: The mighty Roman empire rules the world with an iron fist but one nation refuses to bow to the Imperial throne - little Judea -a nation of fierce independence and a monotheist religion. In the midst of these turbulent times, when history turns on its head and B.C. moves into A.D, two women find their lives molded by the intrigues and plots of royalty and clergy. Deborah, fiery and outspoken, comfortable in her birth right as the upper class of Jewish society: he, a Roman Centurion stationed at the cosmopolitan port of Caesarea, where Romans, Greeks and Jews coexist in an uneasy harmony. Joanna, conservative and traditional, from the lowly village of Emmaus, Judea; he, a powerful court official who buys her from the market to save her from a life of slavery and introduces her to the royal court of Herod Antipas. Sometimes, Fiction is needed to bring Fact to life. In the pages of this book, history is brought to life through the lives of these fictional women of substance and the irresistible charisma of one man who met them to paint a timeless story of love in a fickle, uncertain, bubble of time.
For decades, his family rescued lost and forgotten donkeys in the Irish countryside. He had no idea that one day, the donkeys would rescue him. Patrick Barrett grew up on the back of a donkey. In the small village of Liscarroll, he befriended the abandoned and abused donkeys his family cared for in their animal sanctuary. He became a true donkey whisperer -- communicating with them in ways they could understand and teaching himself how to speak in their distinctive calls. But Patrick's life took an unexpected turn. He shipped out with the Irish Army and encountered unimaginable wartime horrors in Lebanon and Kosovo. In the aftermath, he returned home a broken man, sinking into the depths of PTSD and addictions. He believed nothing could save him -- but he hadn't counted on God or the donkeys. Sanctuary is the remarkable true story of how faith turned one lost man's life around with the help of the rescue animals who love him"--Back cover.
In the aftermath of the Big Crash, the President of the United States declares martial law. The National Guard rounds up citizens who are never heard from again. While fear and chaos reign, a small band of revolutionaries rise up to resist. Lacy Monroe, barely out of high school, never saw herself as a leader. All that changed after the Big Crash. When the rest of her family fled, she remained on the farm, the last piece of land in the state holding out against the hostile government. Alone and vulnerable, she endures a horrific attack, yet survives and offers sanctuary to others like herself—until an old friend turns her world upside-down. Jace Cooper has harbored a secret for years—he is completely in love with his best friend’s sister. The world is crumbling around them, no one knows how long they will survive, and all he wants is to protect Lacy and stay with her. With the National Guard circling ever closer, hunger and sickness taking a toll, and betrayal and jealousy threatening to destroy the group from the inside, the struggle to hold onto the farm pushes them to the brink. And Lacy is keeping a secret so devastating it could drive Jace to unthinkable actions. Is the farm a safe asylum—or will the fight for freedom destroy them?
Susy Smith, the founder of the Survival Research Foundation and of the Susy Smith Project at the University of Arizona, is also the author of 30 books in the psychic field. Beginning 45 years ago as an agnostic newspaper reporter investigating a new and curious field, she has since developed her own psychic abilities to the point that she in now convinced her last two books were channeled through her from wise sources in the spirit world. The popular The Book of James provided inspirational information about survival of the human soul after death that opened new vistas to countless readers. Ghost Writers in the Sky is the answer to their requests for more James. It contains some of the original material plus much that has been newly received on such subjects as atomic dangers, UFOs, drugs, AIDS, and how to avoid evil spirits.

This is a well-documented, highly entertaining book giving case histories that prove there is evidence that life is forever. The Susy Smith Project at the Unviersity of Arizona is at present acknowledged as the source of the Afterlife Codes research, but Susy Smith herself had established a reputation as a writer of critical and objective books in the psychic field many years before she established the Survival Research Foundation and evolved the idea of scientific study of the possibility of communication from the dead by codes. When writing Life is Forever, published originally in 1974, Miss Smith made a comprehensive search of all the literature of the psychic field and chose the best example of each type of experience—deathbed vision, ghosts with a goal, guardian angels, possession, voice phenomena and all the other curious and interesting means by which dead or dying people managed to provide evidence of their continued existence. This important book has been out of print too long. It will be welcomed back. Visit the Afterlife Codes website of the Susy Smith Project at www.afterlifecodes.com.
Susy Smith insists she did not write this book. The author of twenty-four works on psychical phenomena is sure the information herein could not have originated within her own subconscious mind because it includes so much about which she could not possibly have any knowledge. She maintains instead that it came to her via automatic writing from a man who says he has been in the spirit world for more than sixty years. Having started her research in the psychical field some twetny years ago as a cynical, agnostic newspaperperson, Susy Smith fought against a belief in the possibility of spirit communication all during the time she was studying and researching the subject. Now, after publicaion of all her books—which include Life Is Forever, ESP and Hypnosis, How to Develop Your ESP, and Confessional of a Psychic, in which she tells of her own gradual psychical development—she admits to having become convinced of the survival of the human soul on the basis of evidence alone. Life is Forever gives case histories which have helped persuade her of this. The Book of James, however, does not bring evidence. It supplies a philosophy of life after death. Whoever wrote it … it is inspiring and challenging reading.

Have you ever wondered why Minnesota's forests grow in the north and not in the West? Why gaming casinos are prospering? Why producers raise chickens instead of cows? Why some towns grow while others fail? Minnesota's natural wonders have had an effect on and been changed by the people who call this complex mosaic of lakes and forests, rivers and fields home. Through engaging, in-depth text and copious illustrations, John Fraser Hart and Susy Svatek Ziegler explore the human and environmental characteristics that define the state in Landscapes of Minnesota. Illustrated with hundreds of maps and color photographs that reveal the changing character of Minnesota, this stunning geography traces the development of the state's natural environment, how the land formations, plants, and animals became a part of its fabric, and how they have changed over time. Focusing on small towns, the authors document patterns of growth and decline, offering striking commentary on these once-key bastions of Minnesota-ness. Turning to the Twin Cities, they analyze the expanding urban arc and the surprising growth of a baby boomer retirement belt. Landscapes of Minnesota explores how the lives and livelihoods of Minnesotans have affected what the state has become and what it will one day be. John Fraser Hart is a professor of geography at the University of Minnesota and a Guggenheim Fellow. Susy Svatek Ziegler is an assistant professor of geography at the University of Minnesota and a Fulbright Scholar.
