Book Description
'There are events in your life that one feels are so important, that if you were here only for those moments, it would be enough; that your participation in, or even your creation of those events, in your heart, has made a difference for those you love, and support and even better, for total strangers, that you made their world a better place ... then, yes, it is all worth it.' What brought him to this point? This story both factual, and fictional, attempts to convey a journey steered by random chance, love, and loss. It is a remembrance to the many important people who played crucial parts in the lives of the author and his father. It is an epiphany in spirituality, in the hardships of experience and the decisions made to move forward, and in the spirit that burns within the hearts of those who wish to make life a better experience for those who follow. Finally, to remember, and acknowledge, those forgotten and lost in time and hidden forever.

St. Brendan's Lighthouse and The Falcon's Nest
Author: Shawn A Lohan
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 103919575X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
A decade ago, Shan narrowly escaped the clutches of a secret right-wing cabal hidden within the English government. He embarks on a journey of understanding to the Isle of Man in search of his Celtic past. Little does Shan know that his would-be kidnappers are once again in hot pursuit, and the facts he will uncover delve deeper than he could have imagined—even into secret government groups and political conspiracies. Also involved in this dangerous game of cat-and-mouse are Inspector Maloney of the Irish GARDA and a former enigmatic member of the IRA and those wishing to do him and his father, harm. Can Shan untangle the many-layered mysteries that await him on the Isle of Man and outwit his pursuers? St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest, the second novel in The St. Brendan Series , is an action-mystery novel deftly woven into the fabric of the Isle of Man—landmarks, architecture, and the famous Isle of Man TT motorcycle race bring the setting to life and invite the reader to delve into its history along with Shan. Bringing in characters from The Three Coins, Lohan’s father’s novel, St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest is a text that speaks through its plot and its very construction about the importance of family and history. “This road was a universe unto itself, for if thoughts were leaves and hopes were the winds upon which they drifted, this landscape would be brimming and deep, recognized for what it contained if your heart only had eyes.”

Book Description
In 2042, the United States is projected to be no longer a predominantly white nation. What we must do in the interim is to have a dialogue with one another and learn to live with one another, somewhere between black and white. If we do not learn to live in peace, we only have to look at the past of the Balkans, Rwanda, Sudan, etc., as well as present-day Nigeria, Iraq, Syria, etc. Between Black and White is my personal journey and attempt to reconcile my past with the present. Ever hopeful for the future. Not just for myself, but my grandchild. Give peace a chance The choice is ours. RIP Trayvon Martin Oscar Grant Michael Brown Eric Garner

Pages : 320
Book Description
This travelogue moves along by Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, by the Burren, a land of strange beauty that inspired Tolkien, by the ruins of remotely-placed monastic shrines and chanting monks. Memories of W B Yeats, G B Shaw, John Millington Synge, Raftery and others are revived in Lady Gregory’s Coole Park, the nineteenth century literary workshop of Ireland where they planned the founding of the Abbey theatre. A trip by the royal sites of Ireland’s Ancient East opens up a lost world where at times history dissolves into myth – Tara of the high kings, the royal hill of Uisneach, Rathcroghan, seat of the warrior Queen Medb, Emain Macha, home of the kings of the Red Branch of Ulster. Viking raids occupy these pages too and King Henry Vlll’s dismantling of the monasteries one by one. The heady days of the nineteenth century land agitation are remembered when the forces of revolution joined with parliamentarians – Davitt and Parnell – giving the people the leadership they so tragically lacked during the Great Famine. Holding these ages together is the landscape, sedate and unchanged since it convulsed into shape when continents shifted in the great volcanic shake-up millions of years ago. But above all, it is the journeying companions that firmly plant this trip in the present – poets Michael Farry, the Kennelly brothers, singer-songwriter Christy Moore, local historian Gearoid O’Brien among other generous people, who come along to offer a vision of their youthful world.
