Journey to Birth As a Sci Fi Adventure

By: Dr. Vernon Walter Schroeter DC

Do you want to relive your journey to birth in a way that does not look like the inside of the human body but rather like a princess journeying through a monster-filled world? Now, thanks to an entirely new type on writing that never existed before and was developed by Dr. Schroeter, you can. Here's how it works. First, Dr. Schroeter turns the inside of the human body into analogies that look so identical to an entertaining book, no one knows it is anything but an entertaining book, thereby making it just as entertaining as any other entertaining book. Then at the end, in an entertaining fashion, when the reader learns the monster-filled world was all real and actually about their journey to birth, it creates a wow factor that raises the entertainment level while at the same time educating. Also, when all that knowledge comes rushing in, that too creates a wow factor that raises the entertainment level. Dr. Schroeter's new type of writing works for all forms of entertainment and was created to make a better world for all. Imagine if as many people who saw Star Wars all came away just as entertained but also with a college-level education on how to become healthy, prevent cancer, and much more. Now multiply that by thousands of authors, and you end up with a smarter, healthier, less diseased, and better world. Dr. Schroeter believes if we spread the word to the media, movie studios, and everyone else, his new type of writing will become reality and make a better world for all in it.

Who Do People Say I Am?

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Who Do People Say I Am?

Rewriting Gospel in Emerging Christianity

By: Vernon K. Robbins

Spanning early Christian writings from the Gospel of Mark to the Acts of John, this book by Vernon Robbins explores the various ways early Christians explained their understanding of the special nature of Jesus beyond the canonical Gospels. Who Do People Say I Am? shows how second-and third-century Christian authors of additional Gospels and Gospel-like writings expanded and elaborated on Jesus divinity in the context of his earthly existence. According to Robbins, these Christian authors thought that the New Testament Gospel writers could and should have emphasized the divinity of Jesus more than they did. Throughout the book Robbins asks and answers questions such as these: If Jesus introduced new beliefs and practices, what did second- and third-century believers find unresolved in the New Testament Gospels about those beliefs and practices, and how did they try to resolve them? What gaps in the storylines of the New Testament Gospels did second- and third-century Christian writers think could be filled in, and how did they fill them in? If Jesus really were fully divine when he came to earth and lived among his disciples, what experiences did his disciples have that the New Testament Gospels do not tell us? Learning activities and a bibliography at the end of each chapter help make this book a valuable resource for students and any other interested readers.

Hauntings and Other Fantastic Tales

Hauntings and Other Fantastic Tales

By: Vernon Lee

Vernon Lee writes in the Preface to Hauntings, “My ghosts are what you call spurious ghosts... of whom I can affirm only one thing, that they haunted certain brains, and have haunted, among others, my own.” First published in 1890, Lee’s most famous volume of supernatural tales occupies a special place in the literature of the fantastic for its treatment of the femme fatale and the allure of the past, along with the themes of thwarted artistic creativity and psychological obsession. This collection, which includes the four stories originally published in Hauntings and three others, enables readers to consider Lee’s work anew for its subtle redefinitions of gender and sexuality during the Victorian fin-de-siècle. The appendices, which include extensive excerpts from writings by Lee’s predecessors and peers, including Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, and Lee’s brother Eugene Lee-Hamilton, allow the reader to see how Lee takes on the themes and preoccupations of the late-Victorian period but adapts them to her own purposes.

Career, Work, and Mental Health

Integrating Career and Personal Counseling

By: Vernon Zunker

This text integrates career counselling/development with mental health counselling. The book builds on the growing recognition that career counselling cannot be viewed in isolation of mental health issues, an individual needs to be viewed as a whole person whose psyche and mental health are delicately intertwined.

Tell It Not in Gath

By: C. Vernon Hines

William Martin, an illiterate black share-cropper in the rural South and his wife, Maria, move from their small farm to a large southern city in the midst of the great financial depression to give their two sons the opportunity for a better education. They all face almost insurmountable obstacles to better themselves because of the segregation, discrimination, subjugation, and humiliation imposed by the ruling white supremacy. The younger son, Sam, is confronted with the daily challenge of either accepting his secondary life as a black or rising above his environment and being accepted as a person regardless of the color of his skin. The injustices inflicted upon him and his family breeds a hatred within him. How he handles this hatred determines his personal destiny.

I Am Mary

I Am Mary

By: Farran Vernon “Hank” Helmick

I Am Mary is a fictionalized autobiography of Mother Mary based on the dialogue attributed to Mary by various Saints and visionaries. Her own words are used in most instances starting with the second chapter. The author of course had to take poetic license especially in Chapter Twelve's summary of her appearances. This book fills in much of the blank periods of the lives of Jesus and Mary. It reveals much of their mystical lives as related by Saint Mary of Agreda, Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich, Saint Bridget of Sweden, Saint Maria Faustina Kawalsaka, the Holy Bible, the Gospelof Mary and a myriad of other sources. It is an ideal book for meditation on the lives and works of Mother Mary and her Divine Son Jesus Christ. I tried to edit some of the archaic terminology of the early writers to offer smoother reading and ready comprehension. The original texts were highly recommended reading by several different Popes in the periods in which the original books were written.
