The Secrets Of Nostradamus: The Medieval Code of the Master Revealed in the Age of Computer Science
by David OvasonWalker argues that previous translations have got it wrong, because they have failed to realise that Nostradamus was writing in an esoteric language called the 'green language'. Where previous translations have seemed to stretch a point to make a quotation fit an historical event, Walker reveals the prophet's true prophecies regarding the American and French revolutions, the Franco-Prussian, First, Second, and Third world wars, earthquakes, floods, the Anitchrist and the end of the world. Properly seen, Walker argues, Nostradamus is the greatest Western prophet to commit his prophecies to writing since the Old Testament.
The Secrets of Paper and Ink
by Lindsay HarrelBrought together by a charming bookstore in England, three women fight to defy expectations, dream new dreams, and welcome love into their lives. As a counselor, Sophia Barrett is trained to help people cope with their burdens. But when she meets a new patient whose troubles mirror her own, she realizes she hasn’t dealt with the pain of her recent past. After making a snap decision to get away for the summer, Sophia moves overseas to an apartment above a charming bookstore in Cornwall, England. She is hopeful she will find peace there surrounded by her favorite thing: great literature. Bookstore owner Ginny Rose is desperate to save her business without asking for help from a husband who’s decided to take a break from their marriage. Ginny never imagined she’d be solely responsible for keeping afloat her husband’s dream, but the unexpected friendship with her new renter has her feeling more optimistic. Between the two of them—and Ginny’s brother-in-law, William—the bookstore might stand a chance. Then Sophia finds a notebook in the bookstore that contains journal entries from Emily Fairfax, a governess who lived in Cornwall more than 150 years ago. Sophia learns that Emily harbored a secret passion for becoming an authoress—as well as a deep love for her childhood friend, Edward, whose station she dared not dream to touch. Eager to know more of Emily’s story, Sophia goes on a quest—dragging Ginny and William with her—to discover the heart of the woman behind the beautiful entries. Soon Ginny’s need to save the bookstore becomes more than a way to save her marriage, and Sophia finds new purpose of her own. Together they find that sometimes both heartache and hope can reach across the centuries.

The Secrets of Suffering: The Biblical Formula to Understanding Suffering
by T. A. NalianThe moment we find ourselves in adversity, we tend to quickly react in two ways: "Lord would you deliver me and deliver now?" And, "Why is this happening to me?" Often, deliverance will not come immediately, and the epic question "why" is truly the big reason for this book. In your lifetime, suffering will be inescapable. This is why it's so important we learn to navigate our way through the thick, dark forest of suffering. If we do not learn this ourselves and neglect to teach those coming after us, we will forego many blessings and experiences with God and expose our children, students and parishioners to the same. The uniqueness of this book is positioned in the fact that its author has experienced suffering beginning at the age of three to the writing of this work. Therefore, the substance of this book rests not in hypothesis, but rather in real-time experience. If you are suffering, this book can help you for the simple reason that the author will compel you to put yourself in the presence of His Majesty, the Lord Jesus! He is the one who has suffered the most. The one who suffered the most can help you the most! Why? Because He is the Almighty Eternal God. He loves you with an everlasting unconditional love. The Lord can identify with your every hurt. He will show you in your suffering, that He is close, intimate, and He cares! Everyone knows someone who is struggling and suffering. This book would be the perfect gift and resource, equipping them to persevere, while, at the same time, experiencing the glorious blessings of God in the process!

The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit: How to Bounce Back from Life's Hardest Hits
by Azim Khamisa Jillian QuinnIn Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit, internationally honoured promoter of peace, Azim Khamisa, and inspirational speaker Jillian Quinn reveal the 30 keys to emotional resiliency and the corresponding strategies they themselves have used to transcend their own heart-wrenching personal losses. Everyone is vulnerable to life's physical, emotional and financial hits, but there are some people who seem emotionally thicker skinned, undeterred, and perhaps even empowered by setbacks. People with this kind of super-resiliency don't have better luck or better karma. They lose jobs, relationships, health, and money just like the rest of us. But they think differently: they understand what kinds of responses and behaviours contribute to spiritual fragility and which ones breed strength; they make life-affirming choices instead of defeatist ones; they look for and find purpose where most of us see meaningless loss. Fortunately, their valuable and powerful kind of thinking can be learned. Secrets of the Bulletproof Spiritopens with Azim's and Jillian's own personal stories and they are heart-wrenching indeed: Azim Khamisa's son was caught in the cross-fire of gang violence, but instead of seeking revenge or harbouring bitter anger, Azim reached out to the shooter and his family because he was sure there were 'victims at both ends of that gun'. Azim and the shooter's grandfather give a moving and cautionary presentation to school kids regularly. When Jillian Quinn lost her daughter late in pregnancy, she recovered and moved on by travelling to China to adopt a daughter who had lost her mother. 'Here we find the wisdom, practical help, and comfort we need to rebound from any kind of hardship, crisis, or adversity. This book is a gift to anyone in need of solace; I pray it finds its way to every heavy heart. ' - Marianne Williamson, bestselling author of Everyday Grace
Secrets of the Druids: From Indo-European Origins to Modern Practices
by Teresa CrossA guide to the history and practices of the Druids and the Celtic faith • Reconstructs the Druidic faith from surviving remnants, parallels with other Indo-European traditions, and dedicated study of scholarly sources • Details magical rites and ceremonies, methods for consecrating an outdoor temple, and customs for celebrating important festivals such as Beltaine and Samhain • Discusses rules for firecraft, making offerings to deities and spirits, and the ancient Coligny calendar, including the names of the months in old Gaulish Druids and their magic, lore, and rituals have fascinated all those who encounter them, from the ancient Greeks and Romans onward. Even today, the mere mention of their name evokes pictures of standing stones, mistletoe, golden sickles, white-robed priests, and powerful sorcerers. But were they really as we picture them? Drawing on comparative mythology and linguistics, archaeological evidence, and etymology, Teresa Cross offers readers a comprehensive course in the history and development of the Celtic spiritual tradition and its lore, reconstructing the Druidic faith from the remnants that have survived and dedicated study of scholarly sources. She also reveals parallels with other Indo-European traditions, such as the similarities between Celtic and Vedic Hindu beliefs and practices. She chronicles the ethics and spiritual teachings of Druidism and the Celtic faith and examines what happened to these beliefs during centuries of Christianization. Moving from history to practice, Cross details magical rites and ceremonies as practiced by modern-day followers of Druidactos. She explores the structure of the Touta, which roughly corresponds to &“tribe,&” methods for consecrating a nemeton, the outdoor temple that offers the optimum sacred space for the meeting of heaven and earth, and the rites and customs associated with important festivals such as Beltaine and Samhain. She also explores the rules of firecraft, the sacred art of giving to the cosmos, making offerings to deities and spirits, sacred food and beverages, and the ancient Coligny calendar, including the names of the months in old Gaulish. Offering an authentic handbook for starting your own Celtic group led by Druids, Cross reveals the meanings and metaphysics behind the Celtic and Druidic customs and traditions, reuniting the fragmentary remains of long-lost Druid culture with the still-living practices of the Celtic faith.
