Nudged by Fear
Author: A.A. BAUMGART
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662401116
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
When trespassing on what is considered to be a haunted property, four teenage friends stumble upon the skeletal remains of someone truly forgotten--a someone with unfinished business. The woeful spirit and not one but two fallen angels have taken a fancy to the adventurous teens, particularly sixteen-year-old Andie--a fancy favoring unholy reasons. Andie, influenced by the respected power of three and though cautioned by her close friends, unearths an ancient book written in a language as old as its thick pages. Words not understood. Words to change fate. Despite her honorable intentions, good and evil are soon intertwined while she becomes her own worst enemy. Yet in the midst of the strange visions and eerie verses to play over and over in her mind, the forgotten spirit remains near Andie's side (meaning no harm but to protect what is rightfully his, in the wisdom to know even the most virtuous of souls are sometimes lost to evil). Set in his determined ways, the spirit pursues what he believes is a worthy cause, regardless the many dark secrets finally laid to rest, beneficial in the well-being of his own lifeless self if all follows plan. The controversial question still remains: Can good survive without the existence of things deemed evil? So it goes: to the one who is good, you must pray your soul to keep, and from the ever so cold, heartless demon, it is with one eye open that you should sleep.

Book Description
In the world of dogs, there is now more awareness than ever of the need to provide enrichment, especially in shelters. But what exactly is enrichment? The concept is pretty straightforward: learn what your dog’s needs are, and then structure an environment and routine that allows them to engage in behaviors they find enriching. To truly enrich your dog’s life, you should offer them opportunities to engage in natural or instinctual behaviors. Aside from the limitations we have to place on a dog in today’s modern, busy world, the biggest constraint to enriching your dog’s life is your imagination! What the experts say about Canine Enrichment: Don’t let the word “enrichment” in the title fool you into thinking that the scope of this book is too narrow or not something you will find valuable. It focuses comprehensively on meeting your dog’s needs and is written in a holistic, science-based, practical, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way. I love this book! Ken Ramirez, author of Animal Training: Successful Animal Management Through Positive Reinforcement Canine Enrichment is a deep dive into what dogs really need and how we can provide it. It’s a great book for dog lovers who want to go beyond the standard superficialities of “dogs need exercise.” Just the chapter on agency is worth the price of the book! Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., CAAB Emeritus, author of The Other End of the Leash and The Education of Will The scope of this book is ambitious and the authors deliver, navigating the subject of enrichment with depth and relevance. Caregivers will gain critically important perspectives and practical information to improve the lives of their animals. Susan G.
