Book Description
There is a saying that goes, “For those who believe, no explanations are necessary; but for those who are doubtful, no explanations will suffice.” This book is about the elementals or other beings that exist with us here on our planet Mother Earth. Our planet is alive! She says I love you to all of us! Science says, “To see is to believe.” Yes, we do not see the air; but air, or oxygen, is with us. This book will show our children and us mature adults as well that the unicorn, hobbit, fairy, gnome, elf, deva, dwarf, leprechaun, dragon, mer or mermaid, Peter Pan, and other elemental beings in the planet earth or soil are living with us. They are alive! They will show themselves to us once the planet Mother Earth’s people learn how to live in peace, happiness, and harmony with each other. Is that not nice? They, like children, are always laughing and dancing! Our elementals—brothers and sisters of ours—are saying the following words to us: Life is a dance! Life is a relaxation! Life is a dream! Life is joy in our hearts, minds, and souls! Remember, Jesus, the Christ, had said, “Unless you become little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” So let us believe that fairies, gnomes, dwarves, elves, devas, and other elemental beings do exist! Prime Creators, Overcreators, and Council of Creators are intelligent designers of life! Divine Father and Divine Mother and God and goddess gave different sizes, shapes, and looks to life—whether they are humans, animals, rocks, crystals, birds, trees, fairies, gnomes, all elementals, mermaids, atoms, protons, rocks, crystals, sand, and practically everything in all planets and celestial galaxies. Even the minutest atoms have life and vibrations. Believe it or not, Mother Earth, celestial universe, multiverses in the galaxies, and all creations of the Almighty God source all pulsate with life. It is time to be awakened in the 5D or fifth dimension reality. The old 3D or third reality of right and wrong, happy and sad, and dualities are now moot and academic and passé. Enjoy this children’s book for the young and the once young mature individuals like we are.

Book Description
I was about to choke on a big tilapia fish bone. The long bone was lodged opposite on either side of my throat. And each time , I breathe, the bone just got stuck inside my tonsils all the more! Then, I suddenly remembered to pray to Saint Blaise, and a great miracle happened! I prayed for nine days to Saint Therese of Lisieux. Therese is famous for answering prayers with the signs of roses . And on the ninth day, a man was waiting at the bus stop with a bouquet of roses. He said it was for me! I made a nine day prayer to Saint Jude. And I promised him that if my prayers will be granted that I will make him known. My prayers were granted and this is the reason why I am writing this book. And that is to spread the goodness of these three Ascended Masters, Galactic Stars, Avatars, we call saints. So you can all experience and live them in your reality, as well. If not so, already. And the powerful prayers or conversations or mantra to Therese, Blaise, and Jude are also in this book. Or, you also, can make your own words to acknowledge and communicate to them of your good intents for the good of mankind and of your own magnificent self. Most of all. Read the many more stories of miracles that I had personally experienced of these three fellow Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens, just as we are; known as Saints. And they are Saint Therese, Saint Jude, and Saint Blaise. It is because the God Source Energy is within inside of you and me. We are all Royalties as the Creator Source is home in our wonderful and compassionate hearts and brilliant and powerful minds. This is the reason why our heads is called Temple. And our hearts pulsate with love. As God Source is Love. “God is Love. And all who live in Love abides in God. And God lives in him or her,” as the scriptures state.

Missing People, Animals, Things? Go to Anthony

Pages : 199
Book Description
Inside this book is a very powerful prayer to Saint Anthony that will shake your “hearts out.” Saint Anthony of Padua is also a matchmaker. For those of you who are looking for suitable partners, Saint Anthony is the way to go. Actually, this prayer was taught and given to me by my beloved mother who was a devoted Saint Anthony of Padua believer. Mom assured me that this prayer to Saint Anthony will always be heard by the Saint. It was in World War II in a jungle that two young newlyweds were hiding . They can see the marching boots of the Japanese soldiers. These soldiers held bayonets in their hands. Nearby the newlyweds was their friend who was bayoneted. It was at this time when the Japanese soldiers were approaching their exact location that the new husband saw a tall man with a brown Habit or clothing spread it out to hide these two newlyweds. Each time the Japanese soldiers will close in to these newlyweds’ hiding spot, this browned-clothed man with an almost-bald hair, very young and fair-skinned, will stand in front of them and spread his cloak or long robe around these blessed newlyweds to hide the two of them. The Japanese soldiers did not see the two newlyweds and had changed directions and went away. And these newly weds were safe. And the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua disappeared. These newlyweds were my future parents! And my beloved mother was a devotee of Saint Anthony of Padua! As a very young girl, my future mother was always wearing a brown Habit or Clothing just as Saint Anthony of Padua each time she went to church. And it was only my beloved father who saw the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua who saved them from being killed by the Japanese soldiers’ bayonets in that jungle hideaway in 1944. That hideaway jungle was now where our ancestral home was built and where we grew up. All these give me tears each time I recall these very holy and galactic events. And I, myself, have experienced so many miracles from Saint Anthony of Padua. This is precisely why this very precious book was written. My beloved parents have experienced the miraculous intervention of Saint Anthony during World War II when they were newly-married. And up to this day, Saint Anthony always runs to our rescue whenever we are looking for something. After I have said this powerful prayer to Saint Anthony, I have found this manuscript that I have been searching for. I said to Saint Anthony that if I found this very manuscript , that this was Creator Source and Saint Anthony’s sign that I will publish this miraculous book. And I have found this my manuscript that is in your hands right now!

Book Description
A New York Times bestselling series A USA TODAY bestselling series A California Young Reader Medal–winning series In this riveting series opener, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first. Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks… But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known. But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans?

A New York Times bestselling series A USA TODAY bestselling series A California Young Reader Medal–winning series In this riveting series opener, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first. Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks… But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known. But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.

Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.
