Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?

About Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?

While arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in order to see if Jesus’ claim has any merit.

In Hesed, we will consider such questions as:

1. Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d’s judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression.
2. After the fact, why didn’t G-d explain to Abraham the reason He called on him to sacrifice Isaac?

Join author Mark Stouffer as he seeks to understand the intended meaning of each Bible book. Hesed is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.

The Lightwatch Chronicles: The Guardians – A Space Saga Epic YA Fantasy Adventure

About The Lightwatch Chronicles: The Guardians – A Space Saga Epic YA Fantasy Adventure

“The Lightwatch Chronicles book is reminiscent of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, in its linking fantasy and ethereal mystery with the human psyche, finding our path, and our constant struggle to grasp and understand our own emotions… but with its own unique flair. I loved every bit of it.” – Reader’s Review

In a fantastically creative fusion of space opera, the Golden Age Elysium, and Earth-bound cyberpunk settings, four young warriors called the Quarta begin their journey in a Special Forces military academy. Yet after the terrifying surprise attack of the Shadow demons that destroyed their homeworld, the scattered Quarta are forced to flee to Earth and the seeming safety of Tokyo, Japan. Here, the remaining three comrades blend into society as an undercover boy band, while mounting a desperate search for their missing battle-brother.

Meanwhile, a galactic war rages throughout the Universe, as the Shadow’s forces seek to rewrite history and take over the world by closing the Gate of Time Past. Only the Great Star Antares, the current Guardian of the Gate and her formidable soulmate Vega have the power to thwart the Shadow’s imminent storm. The problem is… Vega’s memory has been erased by the enemy. Will Antares find Vega before it’s too late, and what role will the Quarta play in the imminent battle that will weigh the fate of the Universe? You will be surprised to discover the answer.

The Guardians is the epic first volume of the action-packed and spiritually rewarding Lightwatch Chronicles YA Space Saga series. Immerse yourself into the mesmerising fast-paced plot and step into the unforgettable world living the story and the adventures side by side with the characters. Author J.H. Tepley draws on her personal experience as a meditation, personal development and mental fitness mentor to create vibrant, fascinating and nuanced personalities, allowing the reader to look deeper into their own mind as they discover the unique and complex motivations of the heroes.

Blood Inheritance

About Blood Inheritance

Being immortal is overrated. I was eager for the end when I found the perfect wife to become heir to my fortune.

Without children, my inheritance will ignite a war among the remaining vampire lords.

I’ve existed for five centuries and every extra day torments me.

Only the Bloodline Dagger will give me peace.

Seven exist worldwide, and I know the location of one.

But only a human can wield it.

Luckily, my sunshine girl is willing to sign my unusual marriage contract.

The problem is she’s a devout innocent who wants to consummate.

Tasting her blood was a mistake—tasting her was a mistake.

I should have pumped the brakes when she asked for time to convince me to reconsider.

Though it was never my intention, I got her hopes up.

I’m being cruel, but the Nocturn legacy is at stake.

If I didn’t deserve my death before, I do now.

I will ruin her.

The Tales of Zren Janin boxed set by ML Dunker

The Tales of Zren Janin boxed set by ML Dunker

Kindle COUNTDOWN DEAL – DOWNLOAD NOW for the best price!

Three strangers race across two countries with only one goal: to survive.

Kerek, Matasi, and Vikland are three countries squabbling like quarrelsome siblings. The Kerek King has allowed banditry against anyone with a different language or skin color, and the Vikland Empress has had enough of her travelers injured and killed outside of her borders. Matasi has also suffered from Kerek’s brutality but has the money and power – or so the Triune Council believes – to break Kerek without bloodshed.
In a war of words and weapons, who will win? For when blood is shed, it is always the young and the poor who pay the greatest price.
The Tales of Zren Janin are stories of adventure, political intrigue, soldiers, spies, and bravery where no one is safe, promises are casually broken, and justice demands a price.
For readers who like great worldbuilding in a South Pacific setting, heart-pounding escapes, stories about spies, saboteurs, and survivors when the odds are never in their favor.

“A deliberately paced work, but one with an expansive and ultimately engrossing setting.” – Kirkus review
“…new readers will fall for Zren, who often doubts himself and his abilities but tries his hardest to be whatever his friends need him to be. Although this fantasy tale is written for young adults, it’s sure to appeal to adult readers as well.” – Kirkus review of War and Wrens
“…engaging adventure-series” – Kirkus review

The boxed set of The Tales of Zren Janin contains all five of the previously published books and a sixth book, What Zren Didn’t Know, comprised of bonus stories of what happened to the Wrens before Zren’s stories begin, events in the books told from others’ point of view, and what happened to the survivors.

The Future of Technology in Medicine: From Cyborgs to Curing Paralysis

About The Future of Technology in Medicine: From Cyborgs to Curing Paralysis

What is machine learning? What is the current state of prosthetics in healthcare? Can scientists cure paralysis? Are supercomputers composed of human DNA real?

These are all questions contemplated by both highly educated biomedical engineers and individuals without formal scientific training that have simple interests in medicine. Technology, undoubtedly, has given rise to advancements in many diverse areas of our lives today. It has led to improvements in the ways we complete business transactions, the ways we use social media to connect with others, and in the methods we use to treat patients in medicine. This is especially true, when examining neuroscience approaches in technology, otherwise known as neuroengineering. Concepts such as machine learning and artificial intelligence will one day assist practitioners in making more accurate and superior medical diagnoses. Novel prosthetics are currently being devised utilizing intracranial brain computer interfaces to recreate patient thoughts for controlling these prosthetics. Supercomputers, composed of human genetic material, are being utilized to make processing speeds faster than current computers by magnitudes of speed. With all of these advancements, medical technology is a burgeoning and interesting area of study.

In this book, the authors discuss these technological advancements of healthcare in 14 comprehensive chapters specifically designed to be read and understood by any individual interested in learning more about technology in medicine. Co-author, Nolan Brown has over 100 peer-reviewed publications in the neurosurgical and neuroengineering literature. Dr Shane Shahrestani MD, PhD, participated in the world’s first portable stroke detection device utilizing magnetic fields. He currently has NIH grant funding for the device. Dr Ronald Sahyouni MD, PhD, has novel work in myoelectric prosthetic devices. From discussing topics such as creating the first human cyborgs, to discussing topics on humankind’s first attempt at curing paralysis, this book takes an informative approach to educate interested individuals regardless of their educational background.

A Purely Wrong Story by Laurel Burns

About A Purely Wrong Story by Laurel Burns

When your innocence crumbles because of sexual trauma or regret, damage is inevitable—defeat is not.

Maybe someone took your choice, or perhaps you regret the choices you made, but with dysfunctional sexual incidents on the rise, so are the numbers of women living with the shame incurred from these detrimental experiences increasing as well. Until now, your best options have remained guarding your story and masking your pain—at least, that’s what your shame insisted.

But it’s time to improve your prospects.

Your circumstances might seem too awkward or embarrassing to address, yet author Laurel Burns was once a captive of shame too. Offering discreet support, A Purely Wrong Story halts shame’s infiltration and accompanies your journey to:

• Acknowledge and accurately assess your experiences and the resulting trauma or guilt
• Discover motivations and beliefs preventing your healing
• Demolish barriers keeping you, as a non-believer or even as a believer, from approaching Scripture to access an under-emphasized game-changer
• Free yourself from self-doubt while ousting shame as the defining word of your life

Why bother trying to hide or erase your life’s details when they’re perfect for writing a purely wrong story?

Given this social issue’s vast reach, A Purely Wrong Story includes reflection/discussion questions as part of its bonus material for additional growth and support. These questions are conducive to an individual’s personal development as well as a larger body such as a women’s social group study. A step toward healing, in any capacity, marks progress toward eradicating sexual shame—one story, one woman, one life at a time.
