¡EL CIELO!… ¿ABURRIDO?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99La vida eterna: ¿es un sueño hecho realidad o una amenaza ominosa? Para aquellos que se preocupan de que flotar en las nubes y tocar arpas suene increíblemente aburrido, este libro ofrece una perspectiva única, atractiva y convincente sobre el cielo. ¡El Cielo! … ¿Aburrido? se aparta de las exploraciones típicas del cielo para examinar el concepto de la vida eterna desde nuevos puntos de vista. El autor Greg Thomas, MD, combina historia, biología, cosmología, filosofía y experiencia vital, junto con anécdotas caprichosas y relevantes, para estimular el intelecto mientras entretiene al mismo tiempo. Examina cómo la ciencia moderna arroja luz sobre la relación entre lo temporal y lo eterno, y cómo esto puede profundizar nuestra apreciación por la promesa bíblica de la vida eterna. Explora cómo nuestras experiencias sensoriales actuales tanto revelan como ocultan lo eterno. Lo más importante, Thomas ofrece reflexiones sobre cómo la promesa del evangelio de la vida eterna es, de hecho, una buena noticia. La promesa de la vida eterna no es una noción sentimental o un pensamiento ilusorio; es un asunto serio. Este libro es para todos aquellos que alguna vez se han preguntado: “¿Me aburriré en el cielo?”

142 Wellington Place
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99The suspense in this engaging crime narrative is riveting and keeps building up until it reaches a most unexpected climax filled with excitement and pathos.
Fourteen years after the end of World War II, former RAF fighter pilot Ben Benison gets a frantic phone call from Celia, the wife of his best friend, Don. It seems Don has been unfaithful, and the proof stands in the hallway of the couple’s home: Ada Hamilton, a young, fragile, pregnant girl who clutches love letters written in Don’s hand. Unfortunately, Don is in London, and Celia wants Ben to fi nd out if her husband truly is a liar and a cheat.
Ben heads up to London to confront his old friend and then returns to Celia’s house to deliver the sad news that Don has admitted to the affair. But then things take a strange and sudden turn. Two police inspectors arrive minutes later and reveal that Don’s body has been found in his rooming house at 142 Wellington Place. Whether his death was by suicide or murder, they can’t–or, more accurately, won’t–say.
The authorities open up an inquest into Don’s death, and Ben accompanies the police back to London, where they interview witnesses and gather evidence. Tracking down Don’s mistress complicates things and there is a great twist when a second ‘Miss Hamilton’ turns up. Something is certainly rotten at 142 Wellington Place.

A Book of Revelations: His Light Unto My Path
Price range: $3.99 through $23.99Valeria Franklin, an anointed teacher, inspired by the Holy Spirit, for such a time as this, writes to encourage and give hope. In a time when all is chaos and confusion, dark, doom, and gloom, Franklin lets us know there is light at the end of the tunnel. That light is hope. There is hope and hope lets us not be ashamed (Romans 5:5).
This hope can only be captured through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, a lifestyle of holiness and worship, which is merely complete obedience to God.
God will always send someone back to reach you where you are, who has a greater light, to get you where you need to go. He then sends someone back to get that person, to take them to their next dimension of faith. What you make happen for others God will make happen for you (Ephesians 6:8).
I take this opportunity to give thanks to Prophet Darwin Washington of Prophet Unto the Nations Ministry, Plano, Texas. He is truly a man seeking and is in hot pursuit of the heart of God. Prophet Washington is a man of God with such great gifts, but above all he has the gift of insight, when the answer to every problem is being able to see the answer. He is a man of God who truly labours with you, not to act as Lord, but to help perfect that which is lacking in your faith (I Thessalonians 3:10).

A Chronicle of the Roman Twilight: A Novel
Price range: $3.99 through $33.99The story begins in A.D. 364 when the author of this memoir, Marcus Cedranus, is born into a middle class landowner’s family in western Britain. While his material prospects are promising, his deteriorating relationship with his parents causes him to leave home for the continent. In Gaul he becomes a teamster for a freight hauling company, meets an older woman who will eventually play a major role in his life and is drafted into the Roman army in 382.
He is assigned to Legion XXII in Mainz and in 383 is temporarily transferred to Belgrade on the Danube. A revolt in the west makes this transfer permanent. He participates in several military campaigns and takes part in a triumph in Constantinople in 386. In 388 his regiment takes part in the eastern offensive against the revolt in the west that has by now spread to Italy. With the revolt suppressed, he is assigned to a new imperial guard regiment for the restored western emperor, Valentinian II. During another transfer to the east Marcus suffers a terrible personal tragedy from which it is impossible to recover. Another civil war breaks out in the west and is suppressed with terrible casualties.
Marcus is appointed tribune and made a member of the personal staff of Stilicho, the new generalissimo of the west. Further military adventures take place in Greece, Britain and Italy. A massive barbarian invasion of the west on December 31, 406 triggers political instability leading to revolts in both Britain and Italy. This inevitably leads to the sack of Rome by Alaric and his Visigoths in 410.

THE MOVING WORDS REVIEW
BOOK INFORMATION:
Title: A Haunted Symphony
Author: Michele Wallace Campanelli
Publisher: Author Reputation Press, LLC Publication
Date: November 16, 2023
Review date: November 24, 2023
Genre: Mystery, Supernatural Fiction, Drama
BOOK REVIEW:
Our story begins with Maria, a passionate and dedicated orchestra volunteer, who starts a new role filled with unexpected twists and turns. The symphony, a place of harmony and artistry, soon becomes the background for occurrences that hint at a supernatural presence. The other members and volunteers, each with unique personalities and stories, find themselves involved in secrets and past connections that slowly unravel as the story progresses.
Maria and her colleagues discover that their beloved symphony hall is haunted by more than just the echoes of music past. Strange sounds, unexplained events, and ghostly apparitions begin to stir, bringing to light old legends and tales long thought to be mere folklore. Amidst this, the characters deal with their personal challenges and relationships, adding breadth to the story.
What are the hidden secrets of the symphony’s past, and how are they connected to the mysterious occurrences within its walls? This was the start of a book that promises to keep one fascinated until the very end.
Set against the backdrop of an orchestra, the story peeks into the lives of its characters, including their relationships, secrets, and past events. Michele Wallace Campanelli truly shines in her storytelling in A Haunted Symphony. She created a vivid and attention-grabbing world. For example, the descriptions of the symphony, its music, and the characters’ interactions with their tools and environment are so detailed that readers can almost hear the music and feel the emotions (e.g., Donnie losing a limb).
Campanelli’s characters are well-developed-each with their individual backstory and motivations. How she intertwines their lives and reveals their connections and secrets as the story advances is satisfying. As the pages flip, readers can appreciate the seamless integration of supernatural elements into the tale-the ghostly aspects are handled with a deft touch, ensuring that they enhance rather than overpower the plot.
Overall, A Haunted Symphony is well-paced, balancing moments of tension and mystery. Building suspense is one of its strongest suits, keeping readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. The twists and turns of the story are well-executed, with surprising yet believable revelations. It’s a novel that will appeal to fans of mystery and the supernatural, as well as those who appreciate well-crafted, character-driven stories.

A Hero’s Life
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99The story of a war hero who is faced with a choice between what he believes is moral on the one hand, and his job, his family and the security of his country on the other.
Steve Pritchard was a World War II fighter pilot hero who returned from England in 1945 to his home in Los Angeles. He was a double ace with twelve downed Messerschmitt ME-109’s to his credit. Steve had married his high school sweetheart, the prettiest girl in town, went to work at Western Aircraft Company, the largest aircraft company in Southern California and moved into a new home with swimming pool on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Steve and Ellen quickly had three children and settled down to a comfortable post-war life.
He earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at UCLA night school and became his company’s chief troubleshooter. The company’s design team listened to his suggestions and respected his opinion. All was going well when he was assigned a special mission by the company president to investigate multiple crashes of the company’s new, supersonic fighter jet. It would be a simple task, one that he was sure he could solve in a few days.
But those few days turned into months of futile probing, political infighting, Air Force interference, threats on his life and lack of support from his company’s management as well as from his family. Using his experience in airplane design and applying his flying skills, could he finally identify the cause of the crashes? If he identifies the problem, should he reveal the faulty design and lose his job, his home, and his family, or cover up the problem, get the promotion for which he had been working, and continue to live a comfortable life? A man who had been hailed a hero just a few years before in World War II was now to find out what it really meant to lead a hero’s life.

A Journey Through the Word of God: The Study of The Four Gospels
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Hello New Bible Scholar. My name is Lady Flora Wiggins. I am the Founder and President of the Discipled Men & Women of Wisdom International Bible Institute. Let me start by saying, I believe in you. I sincerely believe there is a space inside each of us that is designed to crave the love of God. That love is found in the word of God. It is written in John 4:8,”God is Love.” It is also written in John 1, “The word was God.” Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that since we all have a natural need and desire for love, we should begin to look in the one place we are guaranteed to find it. That place is in the Holy Bible. I envision the peace and joy that comes from the pure love you will find here, transforming this world according to Romans 12:2. My dream is that this transformation will lead us to obey the command in II Chronicles 7:14 and ultimately we will see the healing of the land that God has promised us. The DMWW Bible Institute is my way of offering the amazing sixty-six book love letter from God, to anyone who has been looking for love in all the wrong places. It is also my way of obeying God’s command to disciple all nations to Christ before his return. There is a main reason for my answer to the calling of God to teach his word, internationally at no charge. It is because when God first called me to the ministry, I couldn’t afford the classes that I needed to be ordained. I cried and prayed. God told me to go back and be the change I wanted to see. The Lord said, “I could have just blessed you with money for classes. However, I allowed you to experience this pain because I trusted you to make a difference. Many have prayed the prayer you just prayed, wanting to preach my word, but a lack of money prevented them and people calling them bootleg. I need someone to obey me, no matter the cost? I said, “Yes Lord” and over several years, he trained me the way he wanted his word to be taught. He tested me by having me offer it free online worldwide, with no pay or natural compensation. I said, Yes Lord. God told me to teach his word “in context” without adding or taking away from its meaning. I said Yes Lord. Every day from that day to this one, I have spent teaching as he commanded. Today, I would like to invite you to join me, along with several men and women from all over the world on a spirit led journey through the Holy Bible. WELCOME!

A Letter to Pope Francis: Musings On What Ails The Catholic Church
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In this book, the author shares his honest and personal opinions concerning certain attitudes and doctrines of the Catholic religion. His goal in writing this book is not to try to instruct or indoctrinate you. Rather, he wishes to present you with a menu of theories, reflections, and facts he has observed as an ex-Catholic; one who is a staunch believer in the 2600-year-old Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Somehow the Catholic Church has betrayed that rule and finds herself in deep trouble.
The criminal conduct of tens of thousands of priests and the Vatican’s cover-up of their actions has become one of the world’s biggest scandals. The Vatican must now follow the United Nations’ directive to open up its files concerning the sexual abuse of children by priests. In the last few years alone, legal suits related to this abuse have amounted to billions of dollars. The Church could end up monetarily bankrupt… if not morally. But we have a new player on the scene: Pope Francis. He is a nonconformist and shows signs that he is ready to face the music and do whatever it takes to save the ailing Church. Will he overcome the misogynistic attitude of his Church and allow the marriage of priests and the ordination of women?

I redeemed my pride by later winning a school-wide essay contest at Cumberland High School and becoming an at-large reporter for our school paper, The Chronicle. As a senior, I was named literary editor of our yearbook. My English teacher, Mr. Skahan, suggested I switch to the college course since he saw me as scholarship material, but that was too much of a reach in those Great Depression years. After graduating in 1943, I worked in an office, married in 1949, and became a mother in 1950 and then a single parent in 1952. My writing would have to wait until January 1986 when, at the age of sixty, I launched my literary career.”
Violet has had twenty-four personal-experience stories, articles, how-to pieces, and short stories published. She also wrote a column for the Foxboro Reporter in her former home of Foxboro, Massachusetts. In California, since 1993, she contributed to “Two Cents,” an opinion column in the San Francisco Chronicle maintained by a pool of citizens. She is an active member and Secretary of Writers West of Alameda Inc.
This is her fourth book. The first, In the Village Lonsdale, was published in 2006. Her second, A Gossamer Cord, was published in 2011. Her third, Jeremy’s Cottage, was published in 2013.

A Manual for the Modern Mystic: How to Practice Being in the Presence of God
Price range: $3.99 through $16.95A guide about how to weave spiritually into real-world experiences by following 12 basic, manageable laws.
The word “mystic” often brings to mind a person who lives outside society in order to maintain his rarified state. However, Olesky (Astrology and Consciousness, 1995, etc.) writes that a mystic way of being can enhance every aspect of normal human existence—from childbirth to creative expression to simple tasks such as tidying a workspace or watering plants in a garden. His manual lay outs universal laws he has identified (and followed) as guideposts for spiritually connected living. The laws correlate with the 12 zodiac signs, which Olesky has eloquently expanded to embody the full range of flesh-and-blood experience. For example, the possession-focused earth sign Taurus embodies the Law of Survival, while the expansive sign of Sagittarius correlates with the Law of Abundance. (Other laws touch on Creativity, Love, Harmony, Transcendence and other principles). However, this is no mere astrological guide: Olesky fleshes out the principle behind each law before touching on the astrological correlation and explains the consequences of “not aligning” with each law. The book never becomes dry or preachy; Olesky draws on his own experiences as well as those of his family, clients and teachers to breathe life into each law and highlight the laws’ relevance and achievability. The result is an eminently readable, heartfelt and soulful manual, graced by Olesky’s wisdom as well as quotations and ideas from spiritual teachers across the centuries.

A Negro Death: Minstrelsy: An African American Experience in the Development of Black Popular Culture:A Socio-Cultural Story of the African American Blues Experience during Ante Bellum and Reconstruction: Volume 1
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99DEATH OF THE NEGRO volume 1
“The ancestors of the Negro in America brought their songs with them into slavery”
[Negro Music in New York – a chronological survey”. Federal Writers Project, 1936-38.]
During the period of the antebellum south, “Sorrow-songs” or “Escapist songs” were placed in a similar category to the unpardonable songs because they were freedom songs that applied the same minor traditional tones from Africa as the songs already hated by the master. Later, at the beginning of the 20th Century, Spirituals and Sorrow songs were confused as coming out of the same whishes by collectors and religious apologists.
Please remember that many to the communities forcibly migrated from Africa were familiar with Hymns because of their immigration from Egypt thousands of years before. What we hear today is, all of the song were performed in what are referred to as “the blues”. As stated by Gellert, this music was brought from Africa with the,. This music was adapted to the current circumstances and has continued until the present.
The intellectual nature of these Escapists compositions was never promoted. Thus, because of how the actual songs were sung, the intent of the lyrics was not understood. Only Gellert understood the use of the word Escapist as a metaphor of “Sorrow Songs” urging the populous to take the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom. Freedom represented the name avoided.
The idea in giving this lecture as a narration/dialogue play short story is to create a setting in which the scholar learners may visualize the conditions people lived. The point is to use a lyric poet to speak about the feeling the oppressed poor felt during the time these songs were composed and delivered. The accompanying lyric post is an African American blues singer. This lyric poet comes from particular reference points because his lyrics are universal to all poor people of the world.

A People Set Apart
Price range: $3.99 through $26.99When chance, the flamboyant scion of a well-to-do family, makes it to the United States from his war-torn Biafra, it doesn’t occur to him that life isn’t going to be the same as it is in his homeland.
But he learns fast. And by sheer will and personal grit, he is able to bulldoze his way in his new abode. Turning adversities into advantage he develops one of the most enduring relationships ever imagined. Turnkey, his nemesis turns friend, and over a short period of time, that metamorphosis yields an instant result. Chance schools him to change course and makes him to understand that he can buy himself out of the box seemingly reserved for him and his ilk that will place him in low level of society’s cadet in perpetuity. Having seen the light, they hit the ground running. Their friendship bossoms, and Chance becomes his greatest confidante.
When Chance offers to take him and a group of his American friends to his homeland of Biafra, a country remembered in flashpoints of war and pillage and destruction, and man’s inhumanity to man, Turnkey is there to defend his friend and dispel all erroneous notions of a people he hasn’t met except one man.
Biafra, plundered since time immemorial, and thought dead, has risen from the ashes of pillagery by dint, and indefatigable spirit of her irrepressible people to hoist her flag in the firmament for all to see. In Biafra, Africa is unbound.
Turnkey, a fortuitious child, and even luckier than a cat with more than nine lives, doesn’t leave anything to chance. Like his father, he toils from a young age knowing where he’s coming from but also with an eye to where he’s heading to. Yet, it’s him that the mighty God has had his path cleared before him.
And when fortune smiles on him owing to a huge bequeathal of his granduncle, it’s to Chance that he turns to, and it’s in his friend’s homeland that he chooses to invest his largesse because he wholeheartedly believes that they’re a people a set apart in spite of the challenges right and about them.
