Book Description
This collection of my poems includes poems I have written over more than seventy years, far back into my younger years, when I was a ditch-digger for the WPA and then an artist depicting people at work during the depression years. I began to write by writing on the backs of my pictures and paintings, usually something about what was in the picture, what moved me to compose the picture, my thoughts and feelings about what I was depicting that was part of the human experience. Later on, I began to write poetry about art and paintingwhat it felt like to paint, what went through my mind and heart as I set myself to the task of painting, how I felt about the subjects of my painting, be they human, animal, plant, or an especially evocative scene. I wrote extensively of my feelings for my wife and son. When my wife died, I poured my grief into poetry about my feelings of loss.

Book Description
Inside the closed community of Borough Park, where most Chassidim live, the rules of life are very clear, determined by an ancient script written thousands of years before down to the last detail-and abuse has never been a part of it. But when thirteen-year-old Gittel learns of the abuse her best friend has suffered at the hands of her own family member, the adults in her community try to persuade Gittel, and themselves, that nothing happened. Forced to remain silent, Gittel begins to question everything she was raised to believe. A richly detailed and nuanced book, one of both humor and depth, understanding and horror, this story explains a complex world that remains an echo of its past, and illuminates the conflict between yesterday's traditions and today's reality.

My Testimony Josephs’ Coat
Author: Gabriela Fajardo
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546284249
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The book was inspired by my experiences as a Christian, and I pray it will be a blessing to you, the reader, in your walk with the Lamb of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. The book has things like dream experiences and visions, which I had in intense prayer and fasting. They have built my faith in God and in the reality of God, the supreme being. It is roughly up to date with my most powerful experiences. The Spirit of God is like living water, which does not get stuck in one place but rather is new every day. Also, I believe the longest chapter of my book is Chica from Heaven Major Downfalls, which I took my time to explain my current life situation and what I have gone through even though I have this amazing gift. Above all things, reader, I motivate you to keep on persevering in everything that is good and just (your goals and aspirations), because it eventually gives fruit and brings forth happiness and peace and an abundant life, which Jesus Christ promised we shall have in his kingdom. To him be all the glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.

Incarnate: Schism

ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 618
Book Description
Nineteen years after the events of Incarnate: Essence, Eshe finds himself reincarnated again. This time, because of the experimentations on Eshe’s brain, there are two reincarnations: Ivan Volkov and Samira Zahedi. Ivan, embracing the nihilism of his reincarnation and the crumbling of human society, has abandoned any hope of creating a better future. Instead, Ivan settles into a life of hedonism as a member of a brutal eastern Russian gang obsessed with death known as Bessmernyi. An assignment that takes Ivan into war-torn China will drag him back into contact with Imelda, the reincarnation of Jiang Wei. The other incarnation, Samira Zahedi, was reborn in Iran where she has become a leader in a local Forty-Eights group. The group attempts to look into the Sovereign corporation’s strange black sites in the region all the while maintaining a fragile peace amongst violent factions that sprung up after Israel nuked Iran and then began occupying it. During a radiation storm caused by the nuclear fallout, people in Isfahan are mysteriously murdered. While Samira unravels the meaning of these murders, the Immortal Legion, the African liberation group started by Sachi, begins to erupt out of Africa, conquering the Middle East. Once again, savage warfare, uncanny technology, corporate greed, religious extremists, and human augmentation are drastically altering the world that Ivan and Samira must navigate while attempting to ensure a tolerable future. Although unable to truly die, neither Ivan nor Samira will ever be the same.
