I Confess That I Am Judgmental | It is often said we are not to judge. Whether you realize it or not we all make judgments daily often without thinking. You/we in fact judge when determining if something is so.
As we continue on the path of godly spiritual learning we can acquire discernment. We become better equipped to navigate through this "Valley of the Shadow of Death."
Time is of the essence for much of our world is out of control. We should seek to learn how to better judge with righteous judgment for the benefit of all concerned.
When you call me judgmental are you not being judgmental? After all, you have also just judged me as being judgmental. WOW! Think and ponder upon this for a moment. Just perhaps we can balance things out by first examining our own motives before we reach a conclusion.
Self-examination is an ongoing part of spiritual growth. It is our attitudes that often need adjusting. Keeping in mind to judge means to analyze or evaluate as well as condemn or avenge. However, whenever we do judge one another it should not be done in a retributive manner but done constructively.
This e-book will enable you to broaden your perspective on the subject of judging. Don't "judge" the book by it's cover/title. Read it.. | en |

The only thing lacking is a strong marriage. Though she graciously rose to the occasion of becoming a mother, it happened by mistake, leading to her marriage to Zander Barnaby. Though he is handsome, often kind and funny, and a decent father, Zander falls sorely short in the department of providing for his family and sobriety. Six years of marriage has proven tumultuous at best, but Mary Jane stays the course.

The Dog Particle (The Burdened Air, #2) | Dinged in signs on the road to nirvanic buggery--life had never felt so much like this before.
Tricked through a Bridge into Sanat by Zephyr and a splinter group of the Eventyr, Alexandru 'Sandu' Barr is left no choice but to complete his search for the weapon and what is supposed to be a final confrontation with Loehr.
In a confused, surprising, phantastic, and bloody run across the heartland of the Nexus--then back on Earth--Sandu is forced to confront the fundamental nature of his rage; the intentions of the cabal known as the Rada; the confusing, duplicitous love of a transmogrifying woman; the existential nature of the weapon and his relationship to this; lastly, the fundamental nature and appearance of redemption--behind the drum and bugle.
In 'The Dog Particle', Book II and conclusion of 'The Burdened Air', Sandu's skip across dimensional frontiers, and then back, takes its toll on man, planet, and metaverse in ways unexpected and troubling for all. Hope, of sorts, remains, because in this is the only way forward--even if ludicrous, debilitating, and--finally--another episode in the Eternal Return, unless Sandu can break the cycle of violation and violence. | en |

Celestina | The racy and irreverent Spanish tragicomedy that is considered the first European novel-in a spirited new translation
A Spanish Romeo and Juliet, Celestinawas published in 1499 and became Spain's first-ever bestseller. Readers thrilled to the salty character of Celestina and her world of prostitutes and black magic even as they mourned the fate of Calisto and Melibea, the young lovers she unites using her wiles as a seller of perfumes and potions. Fernando de Rojas's exhilarating mix of street wit, obscenity, and cultured rhetoric mark Celestinaas a masterpiece: an original, explosive, genre-defying work that paved the way for the picaresque novel and for Cervantes. | en |

The Bear That Wasn't | "Once upon a time, in fact it was Tuesday," the Bear went into the woods to settle in for his long winter nap. But when he awoke what had happened? The trees were gone, the grass was gone, the flowers were gone, and in their place were buildings, cars, a fenced-off courtyard. The Bear had no idea that he was in the middle of a factory. "Get back to work!" a man yelled out of the blue.
"I don't work here," said the Bear, "I'm a bear." The man laughed and laughed. "Fine excuse for a man to keep from doing any work--saying he's a bear." And so it began and so it went, with the Bear protesting his bearness all the way from the Third Vice President to the First, and no one willing to believe that he wasn't just a silly man in a fur coat who needed a shave.
How the bear endured and how he finally prevailed are the subject of this

Instead, it catapults Zinzi deeper into the maw of a city twisted by crime and magic, where she'll be forced to confront the dark secrets of former lives--including her own. | en |
Once Upon Wing Lake | "Scarpino's poems courageously lay bare the nerves and heart of violence and loss in order to uncover exquisite truths about human resilience. These remarkable poems haunt and reverberate across time, even when the speaker's notion of family becomes "...a distant planet, [a] solar system we knew we couldn't reach." In vivid, multi-layered poems, Scarpino unbuttons language reminiscent of the most memorable fairytales, and pins it to the wall."
--Aimee Nezhukumatathil
"What do you know for sure?" is a question raised again and again in Once Upon Wing Lake. This gorgeous and unsettling collection, heavily influenced by fairy tales, is an exploration of childhood trauma, family narrative, and memory. But it is also a love poem from a sister to her brother. Through imaginative leaps, metaphorical and formal shapeshifting, and a fearless use of white space, Andrea Scarpino speaks to the bonds that keep us alive. I'm in awe of what she's achieved here."
--Maggie Smith
"The poems in Andrea Scarpino's Once Upon Wing Lake are as unlike the Romantics as are we--and yet, (yet!) they are notes passed between siblings in a woods which later (much later!) we'll learn to call experience. Not since Anne Sexton's Transformations have I seen poems this wise, unsentimental, and true about the inner lives of tested children. "

Dharma Punx | Dharma Punx on tositarina kapinoivista ja levottomista 1960-luvun nuorista. Noah eli punk-aatteen mukaista rajua elamaa ja paatyi alkoholismin ja narkomanian mukanaan tuomaan toivottomuuden tilaan. Kaiken koettuaan han kiinnostui buddhalaisuudesta ja huomasi sen tuovan enemman potkua ja mielenrauhaa kuin mitkaan hanen kokeilemansa huumeet tai alkoholi.
Kirja kertoo Noah Levinen alkoholi- ja huumeongelmasta, rotostelyista, taydellisesta romahduksesta ja hitaasta tokenemisesta. Matka kohti parantumista alkaa, kun isa puhelinkeskustelussa neuvoo Noahia meditoimaan, yksinkertaisesti keskittamaan huomion hengitykseen.
Noah yrittaa pysya erossa huumeista ja alkoholista. Han alkaa noudattaa 12 askeleen ohjelmaa, pyrkii kehittamaan itseaan henkisesti, osallistuu retriiteille, kokeilee selibaattia, loytaa ja menettaa henkisia ohjaajia. Notkahduksia tulee, mutta itamainen filosofia opettaa hanelle, etta auttamalla toisia paasee eroon minakeskeisyydesta. Hanen johtava ajatuksensa on, etta punk-aatteessa ja buddhalaisuudessa on paljon samaa. Sisaisen rauhan etsinta purkautui ensin paan sekoittamisen tarpeena punkkariaikoina, mutta johti lopulta buddhalaisen harjoituksen pariin.
Nykyisin Noah opettaa buddhalaisuutta henkisessa keskuksessa Kaliforniassa ja San Franciscon nuorisovankiloissa. Han asuu San Franciscossa. | Undefined |

Keenly self-aware and motivated as much by spite as by any sense of duty, Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine maneuver against each other to position their favorite son in line for succession. By imagining the inner lives of Henry, Eleanor, and their sons, John, Geoffrey, and Richard, Goldman created the quintessential drama of family strife and competing ambitions, a work that gives visceral, modern-day relevance to the intrigues of Angevin England.
Combining keen historical and psychological insight with delicious, mordant wit, the stage play has become a touchstone of today's theater scene, and Goldman's screenplay for the 1968 film adaptation won him an Academy Award. Told in "marvelously articulate language, with humor that bristles and burns" (Los Angeles Times), The Lion in Winteris the rare play that bursts into life on the printed page. | en |

The Lion in Winter | Comedic DramaCharacters: 5 male, 2 female
King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine: Richard, Geoffrey, and John. He wants the kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. Henry favors the youngest John, while Eleanor favors the eldest, Richard. Middle son Geoffrey hopes to play both ends against each other and come out on top. Henry would like to have another heir by his mistress Alais, but that would only add to the confusion. Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the truce between a matchless king and queen. Often revived, this play was the basis of the Oscar-winning film which starred Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn.

Andersonville | Man's inhumanity to Man--& the redeeming flashes of mercy--this is the theme at the heart of this grim record in fictional form of one of the blots on the nation's history. Andersonville, the prisoner stockade in Georgia, 20 acres hewn out of a pine woods, counted for more dead in 14 months of the Civil War than Bull Run, Antietam & Gettysburg combined. It took a close-up view of Buchenwald when it was opened to war correspondents to bring home the horrors he had read about in Andersonville; MacKinlay Kantor knew he must put into book form the research he'd been doing for 25 years. For Andersonville was a project predating his Long Remember the now-classic novel of Gettysburg. This is a searing book--a reading experience no one will forget. It is carved out of primary sources: reports filed only to be buried & the infamy condoned, the sadist who boasted of his achievement confirmed in his horrifying perfomance; letters, diaries smuggled out, stories written afterwards, contemporary eyewitness accounts, notes left & saved by descendants of prisoners & jailers; interviews with those descendants; historical accounts year after year. The end result reads like a personal experience. The reader agonizes thru every phase of it: the shock of awareness & horror, the stench, the grim struggle for mere survival, the gnawing hunger--& rejection of the lowest depths accepted by men degraded by starvation & disease. But the factors that make this much more than an appallingly realistic panorama are the men themselves-- the prison's officials, callous, cruel, indifferent--or weak; the old men & young boys used as guards; the scarce example of men who served in order to do what little they could accomplish in the primitive, crude hospital; & the prisoners--cross sectioning all sorts & conditions of men, in circumstances that reduced them almost to beasts. There were some 36,000 in all--& 14,000 died. There were criminals & saints & everything in between. & most of the stories, with their flashbacks to boyhood, to families back home, are drawn from fact, & serve to paint a portrait of America a century ago. The war is a backdrop to it all. The civilians on whose doorstep this horror came into being made their feeble efforts to help--& occasionally risked being labelled as traitors to aid in minor ways. This part is fictitious--but as one reads one realizes that so it must have been. It is a superb achievement--long, harrowing, but essential reading not only for students of the Civil War, but for students of mankind..."--Kirkus | en |
