This book has as main objective to give wise advices to young Christians, which may help them to live their courtship relationships as it is supposed to be with a son of God who is holy, holy, holy—in other words, to live their courtship in holiness and with purpose. This book is aimed at youth who have a serious commitment to holiness. Each word of this work is dedicated to those who courageously have decided to hold the instinct to the wisdom, seeking to do in their courtship everything that is pure, all that is worthy, and everything that is of good name so that the Lord will be glorified by their good testimony. Each word of this book is also directed to young people who are willing to strive to avoid being swept away by the current of worldly thoughts of perverts or the unwary, even if it means having to endure ridicule, rejection, and offense from those who, through those attitudes, want to force the youth to be just like them. And finally, every word in this book is aimed at young people who love to fulfill their role as salt of the earth and light of the world in a society that needs to be preserved from evil and be enlightened with good works.

This book is about the liturgy of the Malankara and Syriac Orthodox Churches of India and the Middle East, for children ages 4 - 8 and even older. It is quite natural for children to be curious about and fascinated by the sights, sounds and fragrances they encounter in the Holy Temple during the Holy Qurbono. It is intended to help children learn some of the more common words and names of items that are used in the Liturgy, in English, in Malayalam (the language of Syrian Christians in India), and in Aramaic Syriac (the language of Jesus). My First Holy Qurbono Words is a little book with words that even a young child can quickly learn, and one that may be brought to church every Sunday to help children experience and understand the Liturgy while it is being celebrated.

In the years after the Revolutionary War, seventeen-year-old Hannah Anderson's life changes drastically. In the once peaceful setting of a mission in eastern Ohio, the threat of war fills the air. Worse yet, Hannah's beloved mother and baby brother die, which leaves an unfillable void in the Anderson household. When her preacher father becomes despondent and unapproachable, Hannah seeks solace in the forest, and by chance, meets an enigmatic stranger who befriends her. Tragedy strikes, however, and Hannah faces a long recovery from a devastating injury. In the Treaty of Paris in 1783, many Native American homelands are granted to the United States. This vast area of land bordering the Great Lakes is called the Northwest Territory, and Ohio is included in the land grant. Against the backdrop of Native tribes converging in Ohio for battle, Hannah faces abandonment by her father and an arranged marriage. While contemplating her own personal issues, she is captured by a militant tribe and nearly killed. The story culminates in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and Hannah's ultimate choice for her future. "M.B. Tosi's new series continues with A Woman Called Red, an exciting post-Revolutionary War story about Ohio & the Battle of Fallen Timbers. As with all of her books, this one is alive with adventure, genuine history, difficult decisions and faith. Enjoy!" - Jim Langford, Director Emeritus of University of Notre Dame Press

What we do in life often does come back to us. This is not all that comes our way in life. We can only control what we initiate.In My Egotistical Opinion is a collection of what author Harlen Koen would want to say to his children if he had teenage or older children. This book is for teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. Hopefully those who read this book will not have to spend a lifetime to learn what he learned the hard way. It includes talk about sex, narcotics, alcohol, abortion, suicide, the Golden Rule, and the Jesus freak, just to mention a few. The theme of the Golden Rule runs throughout this book. It is not just the Golden Rule as a cute rule. Sometimes it is a cold hard fact of life.In My Egotistical Opinion points out that what we do does in fact come back to us. This is not all that will cross our path in life. Bad things happen to good people. Sometimes we are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes we are affected by what others have done, regardless of what we have done. The Golden Rule is simple. Life is complicated. The least often becomes what is most significant, so we need to pay attention to the little things. Two things that seem contradictory do not require one to be false and the other true. Sometimes both are true.
