On March 1, 2010, Elizabeth Hugos life changed dramatically when her ninety-two-year-old father, Victor Mazzullo, moved into her home. Blind, diabetic, and suffering from dementia, her papa required total care for his every need. As her daily life drastically transformed, Elizabeth soon realized she would have to rely not only on herself, but also on her faith as she learned to listen for Gods guidance. In her inspirational memoir, Elizabeth shares poignant anecdotes and applicable Scriptures that provide insight into the challenges, joys, and frustrations that accompanied her spiritual journey caring for her father in his final years. As her role shifted from daughter to primary caregiver, Elizabeth recalls how she dealt with the subsequent emotional impact, realized her limitations, accepted help from others, and relied on prayer for strength. Buoyed through her struggles by her faith, Elizabeth learned how to walk through each day knowing she was just as needy and dependent on her Papa God for His love as her father was on her for his care. Written in devotional form, Life Lessons from My Papa shares practical tips, seasoned advice, and compassionate wisdom for any caregiver desiring inspiration.

There is an erroneous doctrine that is the result of misinterpretation and contextual errors that is gaining momentum in religious organizations. The use of a peculiar verbiage that changes the narrative of the word of God is being taught from palatial mega churches to small storefront edifices. The teaching of generational curses conveys the false message that born-again, Spirit-led believers in Jesus Christ can be the recipient of generational curses. In these volatile, uncertain times, believers are being sold "biblical" snake oil as an answer to why they are unable to overcome a multiplicity of failures in their lives. Because of the lack of dedicated personal study of the scriptures, believers are gravitating to a teaching that has changed the narrative of what Jesus Christ taught in the gospels. This book is the journey of an angry, rebellious teen who was indoctrinated by his mother into believing he was generationally cursed. His life was in the fast lane of a highway heading in the wrong direction toward eternal destruction. However, Jesus Christ intervened, guided him to an exit, and led him to the heaven-bound highway. He transitioned from an incarcerated prisoner of sin to a liberated prosecutor of generational curses. In a unique, creative exposition, Elder Richard Avery examines how from the beginning Satan uses the tactic of changing the narrative of God's word to confuses believers and corrupt their belief in the word of God. With the use of contextual accuracy, he prosecutes the "cursed" words from the Bible that are being used to imprison those "whom the Son has set free."

A successful woman leaves California and returns to her native Zimbabwe, in a spiritual tale that reads “like crystal clear water in an ancient river” (Robert C. Jameson, PhD, author of The Keys to Joy-Filled Living). After completing her graduate studies in England, Yeukai returns home to rural Zimbabwe to a jubilant celebration rich in the cultural traditions of the Shona-speaking people. There, she receives life lessons from her beloved grandmother—a wise elder holding sacred knowledge passed down through generations. Though impressed by her grandmother's lessons, Yeukai sets them aside to pursue a corporate career in the biotech industry in California. For years, Yeukai embraces a consumer lifestyle, pretending to live the American dream. However, the busy activities of her life—focused on chasing material delusions—hide the emotional turmoil within, until things come to a head. In search for meaning in her life, Yeukai returns home to Zimbabwe only to be heartbroken by the devastation inflicted by AIDS, rampant corruption, and a near-collapsed economy. In despair, Yeukai turns within in search for answers in her life. And the answers start to be revealed—in the deep meaning of her grandmother's teachings and the rediscovering of her own true nature. And she begins to redefine her relationship with the world. With poems interspersed throughout, this novel poignantly captures Yeukai's triumphant journey to the realization that a life of purpose is truly possible if we allow ourselves to be guided by mystic powers.

The Russian Kurosawa offers a new historical perspective on the work of the renowned Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa. It uncovers Kurosawa's debt to the intellectual tradition of Japanese-Russian democratic dissent, reflected in the affinity for Kurosawa's worldview expressed by such Russian directors as Grigory Kozintsev and Andrei Tarkovsky. Through a detailed discussion of the Russian subtext of Kurosawa's cinema, most clearly manifested in the director's films based on Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gorky, and Arseniev, the book shows that Kurosawa used Russian intertexts to deal with the most politically sensitive topics of postwar Japan. Locating the director in the cultural tradition of Russian-inflected Japanese anarchism, the book challenges prevalent views of Akira Kurosawa as an apolitical art house director or a conformist studio filmmaker of muddled ideological alliances by offering a philosophically consistent picture of the director's participation in postwar debates on cultural and political reconstruction.

And He Said He Would Never Hurt Me By: Elle Kaye And He Said He Would Never Hurt Me introduces us to a girl who is becoming a woman and falling in love with the wrong man. While believing the lies because she loves him, she suffers unimaginable pain by the man who promised never to hurt her. Every woman can relate to being in love or their first love and how they believe everything he says until he hurts them and it blows up right in their face, and also men who have had a woman hurt them can also relate. How do you pull away and if you can how do you go on? We need to be reminded that we are not alone in our misery through breakups. We are not the only one who has been lied to, and although it may change who we were meant to be we will eventually find ourselves.

This collection of more than twenty-five essays, both meditative and formally inventive, considers all kinds of subjects: everyday objects such as keys and hats, plus concepts of time and place; the memoir; writing; the essay itself; and Michael Martone’s friendship with the writers David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, and Kurt Vonnegut. Throughout the essays, Martone’s style expands with the incorporation of new technological platforms. Several of the pieces were written specifically for online venues, while the essays on the death of Martone’s mother and father were written on Facebook while the events happened. One essay about using new technologies in the classroom was written solely in tweets. Brooding—the book’s title and the title of an essay—draws a parallel between the disappearance of early browsers and the emergence, after seventeen years, of a brood of cicadas. Throughout these essays Martone’s words inhabit spaces where the reconnection to people in the past and the metaphors of electronic memory converge.
