I Fought Like a Girl and I Won!: The Journey Continues.

Dorman, Nicole Alyse

Flawless diamonds, ancient gold coins, antique jewelry.Treasures scattered in the rubble of the old Soviet Union In 1995, international economist Tom Yeager leaves his Texas Hill Country retreat to undertake a mission in an Armenia ravaged by earthquake, war and its neighbors' economic blockade to salvage a desperately-needed World Bank loan. Along the way, his distant past as a diamond courier rises up from London and Amsterdam to haunt him. While he grapples with Armenia's economic problems, forces gather around him to put his life and the lives of two women at risk--the exotic Armenian Ana Stepanian and the brainy, beautiful American Mariah Carroll. He must decide whether to honor his father's last wish and accept a packet of stolen Russian diamonds and take them out of Armenia along with the rarest of ancient gold coins and antique jewelry that will assure one Armenian family's future. Pursued by a Russian killer and an Armenian drug dealer, Tom, Ana and Mariah flee across the Turkish outback and the Syrian plain, racing for sanctuary in Jordan. &#707;&#707;&#707; Accepting a packet of stolen diamonds isn't Tom's only difficult choice. His first wife, Seline, walked away, leaving him hurt and confused. Should he trust a relationship with another woman? Perhaps not, but if so, Ana and Mariah offer stunningly different options. &#707;&#707;&#707; Armenia itself is a character in the story. Once a sprawling empire spanning much of the modern Middle East, Armenia was conquered by the Romans, absorbed by the Byzantines and the Ottomans, victimized by a 20th century genocide and submerged behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union. Now, an independent Armenia must struggle to find its footing in the family of nations. &#707;&#707;&#707; Precious gems, the rarest of gold coins and antique jewelry are the tangible evidence of a forgotten empire. An Armenian Affair owes a distant kinship to Gerald A. Browne's Hot Siberian and Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park and Red Square. Its history flows from Franz Werfel's classic Forty Days at Musa Dagh and a host of scholarly studies tracing the roots of Armenia back to Noah and the Great Flood, yet An Armenian Affair stands alone as a novel of Armenia in the throes of rebirth as an independent nation.

The words of wisdom in this book are practical and doable. These words are not pie in the sky when you die. However, these words do address the issues of death, as well as the issues of living. The words of wisdom in this book cover the entire area of life; including marriage, raising children, religion, people to people relationships, etc. The words of wisdom in this book will tell you how to use wisdom to increase your sense of fulfillment, and deal with the issues of life. People are hungry for wisdom. This book will help satisfy that hunger. Experience is a good teacher of wisdom, but it is a harsh teacher. It makes you take the test before it teaches you the lesson. As noted in this book, wisdom is the principle thing, so get wisdom. But in your getting, get also understanding. There are two types of wisdom. God's wisdom and the world's wisdom. This book addresses both of these. People are the only creatures that God make in his own image. So, it stands to reason that people are dear to God's heart. And it stands to reason that God would want people to have wisdom.

Utilizing the Holy Scriptures-the Bible and the Quran both, this book "One God For All" presents a series of letters written to the well-known American evangelist Franklin Graham in reply to the first part of his comment where he said, "The god of Islam is not the same God of the Christian or the Judeo-Christian faith. It is a different god." Then he said, "And I believe Islam is a very evil and a very wicked religion." The author who is a Muslim by birth and practice, found his comment not only unauthentic but malicious and misleading for the people of the Western world-especially the Christians who hardly know anything about the God of the Muslims or their religion Islam. Based on the countless evidence from both parts of the Bible and the Quran-the last and the final guidebook of God, the author makes it distinctly clear that the Muslims have still been worshiping the same One God of Jesus, Moses and Abraham since Muhammad was sent last reviving their pure monotheistic faith in Islam, about fourteen hundred years ago

One God For All

R Banu, DIL

First of all, I write poetry because it is the way my mind speaks to itself. All day. Every day. Morning, noon, or night. I was never "trained" or "given a degree" in this "field." But looking back, most poets weren't either. It's a gift, a voice, a drive, a passion that just is or is not. I do not know that it can be taught or trained or molded if it is not already there. I do know I can always grow and learn. I know that some of my poems are good, some are great, and some are so-so.I write poetry because it takes an issue or experience, wraps it in vivid feeling, and gives it to readers like a gift. I write poetry because it connects me to the world in a way nothing else ever really has. And it connects me to others in a way that nothing else ever really has. It was this thing I could do that hardly anyone else really could do. It was this thing I could do that felt real. I write poetry because it is fun. It is much with deep level of soul joy. It is creative fun. It is like play. It is serious fun. It is like meaningful work. It is spiritual fun. It is like church and Zen and healing and prayer.
