All in Bad Time (The Wisdom Court Series, Book 3)

By: Yvonne Montgomery

Since her acceptance at Wisdom Court, Eve Stewart has been haunted by odd accidents and a voice in her head that she can't quite recall. Upon arriving at the stately institute, Eve hopes to connect with fellow artists, but finds the women enduring strange supernatural occurrences while attempting to decipher the second journal of the Institute's late founder, Caldicott Wyntham. The voice grows louder. Desperate to determine what is real and what is not, Eve joins the search for an evil talisman stolen by Caldicott, and for which Caldicott's lover paid the ultimate price at the hand of Severn Barlow, a British earl who attempted to sway World War II. Then Eve stumbles into a secret room and comes upon an old map with instructions on how to end the Earl's remote viewing and destructive spell-work. But Severn has one more trick up his sleeve. THE WISDOM COURT SERIES, in order: Edge of the Shadow A Signal Shown All in Bad Time THE FINNY ALETTER MYSTERIES, in order: Scavenger Hunt Obstacle Course REVIEWS: "Fast-paced and harrowing, with a dark, malevolent nemesis." ~Douglas D.

Edge of the Shadow (The Wisdom Court Series, Book 1)

By: Yvonne Montgomery

When forensic artist Andrea Bellamy receives a 1-year, all expenses paid grant from Wisdom Court, she jumps at the chance to pursue her delayed dream to become a painter. The only catch: she must move to Wisdom Court. Upon arrival at the century-old Colorado mansion, Andrea learns that Caldicott Wyntham, Wisdom Court's founder, has died. The housekeeper, Aura Lee Witherspoon, is demanding a séance to contact Caldicott while the court's other associates try to explain away "strange happenings." Andrea turns to her easel, intent on fulfilling her grant, only to discover she keeps painting the same unknown face, contorted in fear she can't explain. Now Andrea faces a terrifying choice: believe her trance-painting is evidence of a mental illness, or side with Aura Lee and agree that Wisdom Court is haunted by an evil set in motion a century before.

Model Compositions Series (Primary 4)

By: Yvonne S. D.

The Model Compositions for Primary Level 1-6 series is especially written with young learners in mind and is aimed at exposing them to composition writing in a very user-friendly and enjoyable manner on topics related to their everyday experiences as well as close to their hearts. The model compositions are carefully selected based on the understanding of how a young mind learns, thinks and feels. The topic for each model composition is drawn from the experiences, thoughts, ideas and feelings of young learners. The themes are presented in different writing styles. This series provides ample and consistent practice for young learners for every level of primary school. The variety of themes also enables the learners to be exposed to different topics and areas to write well. The first three levels are already published and the next three levels will be completed soon. A learner who starts to practice from Level 1 to Level 6 will have covered 1000 model compositions which will no doubt provide a very solid foundation for excellent writing once the learner moves up to junior high school. The vocabulary bank of the learner will also increase tremendously across a wide variety of topics and themes. Also, embedded in this gem is a good selection of children’s poems and haiku! Idioms, similes, collective nouns and animal sound enhance and enrich the writing mastery as well as the sophistication of expressions of the young learners as they not only grasp models of sentence structures but also learn to transform their ideas using meaningful vocabulary and common expressions. Each composition imparts the underlying values and positive attitudes for character building, living a meaningful life and contributing positively to the community, hence making a positive difference wherever the learners may be.

Spectacular Bodies

Gender, Genre and the Action Cinema

By: Yvonne Tasker

While films such as Rambo, Thelma and Louise and Basic Instinct have operated as major points of cultural reference in recent years, popular action cinema remains neglected within contemporary film criticism. Spectacular Bodies unravels the complexities and pleasures of a genre often dismissed as `obvious' in both its pleasure and its politics, arguing that these controversial films should be analysed and understood within a cinematic as well as a political context. Yvonne Tasker argues that today's action cinema not only responds to the shifts in gendered, sexual and racial identities which took place during the 1980s, but reflects the influences of other media such as the new video culture. Her detailed discussion of the homoeroticism surrounding the muscleman hero, the symbolic centrality of blackness within the crime narrative, and the changing status of women within the genre, addresses the constitution of these identities through the shifting categories of gender, class, race, sex, sexuality and nation. Spectacular Bodies also examines the ambivalence of supposedly secure categories of popular cinema, questioning the existing terms of film criticism in this area and addressing the complex pleasures of this neglected form.

From My Heart and Her Hand

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

From My Heart and Her Hand

By: Yvonne Betts and Gary Betts

This extraordinary book was written by a married couple, Gary and Yvonne Betts. What makes it so remarkable is that one of the pair, Yvonne, actually passed away before the writing process began. Gary and Yvonne are kindred spirits, which is to say they are eternally linked to one another, and have lived many lifetimes in each other’s company. After Yvonne died from liver cancer in this most recent life together, her spirit returned to Gary, who had been cultivating his exceptional abilities to communicate with spirits. They have been sharing a unique existence ever since, raising a large spirit family together. Their children—whom Gary and Yvonne believe will be their kids in their next living life—are all the spirits of victims of murder at the hands of relatives, often their fathers. They have been entrusted to Gary and Yvonne’s care because of this couple’s special sensitivity to their between-worlds plights. For individuals with a curiosity about spirits and ghosts, this book is a must-read. In it, Gary shares the secrets of this post-corporeal existence as shared with him by Yvonne, whose death has put her in a position to provide unique insight from the other side. Where much of the popular culture exploring this topic is speculative, this book offers a rare, first-hand account facilitated by Yvonne’s continued participation in Gary’s life. As such, From My Heart and Her Hand offers readers an unprecedented understanding of what it means to die and to live among the world of spirits.

Constitutional Statecraft in Asian Courts

Constitutional Statecraft in Asian Courts

By: Yvonne Tew

Constitutional Statecraft in Asian Courts explores how courts engage in constitutional state-building in aspiring, yet deeply fragile, democracies in Asia. Yvonne Tew offers an in-depth look at contemporary Malaysia and Singapore, explaining how courts protect and construct constitutionalism even as they confront dominant political parties and negotiate democratic transitions. This richly illustrative account offers at once an engaging analysis of Southeast Asia's constitutional context, as well as a broader narrative that should resonate in many countries across Asia that are also grappling with similar challenges of colonial legacies, histories of authoritarian rule, and societies polarized by race, religion, and identity. The book explores the judicial strategies used for statecraft in Asian courts, including an analysis of the specific mechanisms that courts can use to entrench constitutional basic structures and to protect rights in a manner that is purposive and proportionate. Tew's account shows how courts in Asia's emerging democracies can chart a path forward to help safeguard a nation's constitutional core and to build an enduring constitutional framework.

Caring for Our Shepherds

Understanding and Coping with Burnout as a Pastor

By: Thomas V. Frederick,Yvonne Thai,Scott E. Dunbar

Pastors play a fundamental role in churches across the globe, yet more and more are finding themselves struggling with the stress of ministry life and experiencing burnout. The consequences of pastoral burnout can be severe and impact not only individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being, but spillover to their families and congregations as well. Despite this increasingly common problem, the subject of pastors and their unique experiences has not been well studied. Caring for our Shepherds is written to pastors and for pastors. In this book, researchers on pastoral burnout, Thomas V. Frederick, Yvonne Thai, and Scott Dunbar answer the questions: what is pastoral or ministry burnout, how can it be guarded against, and how can we help those experiencing it? The reader will not only develop a deeper understanding for the demands of ministry, but also be provided with specific practical and spiritual frameworks to cope with those demands in ways that promote a positive and healthy mindset. Caring for our Shepherds is an excellent resource not only for those in ministry, but to those who desire to pour back into those who serve in the church.

The Ties That Bond

Reflections of a Defining Relationship

By: Yvonne M.P. Lee

The Ties that Bond, restoring a defining relationship. The ties that bond, is a compilation of thoughts, feelings and experiences of the girl inside all daughters. It reveals honesty, reflections and challenges of the profound mother daughter relationship. This tribute recalls a retrospective account of mothers contribution; she who rocks the cradle rules the world. Its a daunting job, a complex role, having no instruction manual, but she loves and nurtures unconditionally. Years ago, the norm was for mothering to be modeled in the home. Mothers were fully supported within her circle of care. Motherhood was honored for its selflessness, commitment and wisdom. We have obedience training for pets but have yet to formally prepare young women for this role. We need a fresh look at this relationship, from the outside in; understanding that mothers come to us as they are, giving all they know and what they learned.
