The birth of Christ never occurred. It should have, the elders insist. But it didn't. Some say old Jupiter prevented it the night he descended to seize power in Rome. Others whisper of the Dark Prince, whose minions have grown even as God the Creator's ancient voice has been silenced. Now, after 1500 years of dark ages, Europe's only hope is a sect of divinely gifted warriors known as the Order of the Ash. Their champion is torn between forbidden love and the path to truth and absolution. Little does he know that both will lead him to the same terrible place, where an ancient secret will either destroy mankind...or redeem it.

On a cold, blustery, late November day in 1920 a little black 45-foot yacht beat her way slowly through the Narrows against an ebbing tide and a raw nor’wester and tied up at St. George, Staten Island. To the casual observer there was nothing unusual about the event, except possibly the lateness of the season, but to the practiced eye there were signs that spelled something more than a post-season run to the fishing banks. Her storm trisail, her tattered ensign, her decks and rail scoured white, the life lines strung between her shrouds – all were marks that told of a battle with strong winds and heavy seas. She was the Typhoon, thirty-two days from the Azores, and in her short career since her launching in July, she had completed a cruise of seven thousand-odd miles that had taken her twice across the North Atlantic. This is the story of the Typhoon, from the time of her conception by William Nutting, editor of Motor Boat magazine, and his friend, the legendary naval architect William Atkin, to the finish of her cruise a year later – a journey to prove that it was possible to cross a large ocean in what was considered at the time a very small vessel. First published in 1921, The Track of the Typhoon is a classic tale of sailing across the Atlantic and back again for the fun of the thing: for the sport of picking one’s way across great stretches of water by sextant and pitting one’s wits against the raw, honest forces of nature. It is a story that further cements what Slocum, Voss, Blackburn, and Day knew—that the size of a boat has little to do with its seaworthiness. Most of all, Typhoon will inspire a confidence in the possibilities of the small yacht and instill in readers a desire to explore the sea in their own small craft.

A HANDBOOK FOR THE BROKENA valuable guide for anyone dealing with PTSD, trauma and tragedy, family members of trauma victims, clergy who seek a better understanding of psychology, and for counselors who seek a better understanding of the role of faith in healing from trauma.THE CHRIST CURE is comprehensive handbook of healing for victims of trauma and their families, guiding the reader through a unique path of true restoration, inspired by the life and works of the Apostle Paul (a survivor of multiple traumas), by modern day mentors, the humbling personal experiences of the author, Psychologist, Navy veteran and former Member of Congress Dr. Tim Murphy, and reinforced by solid scientific research.Dr. Murphy’s book is a faith foundation guide for healing the psychological problems in the wake of trauma. Awakened by his own failures, the author grasped for ways out of his deep depression and re-discovered inspiration in the life and works of the Apostle Paul, who himself lived a life filled with major traumatic experiences. It offers new insights into how life threatening abuse, chronic stress and self-inflicted trauma affects us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and most importantly, how we can heal.In the book, Dr. Murphy candidly describes his own fall from grace, his battle with depression and his humble confession that while he was trying to save the world he was losing his own soul; disconnecting from his faith and family. He walks the reader through his return to the Bible and his discovery of a great mentor for healing from trauma—the Apostle Paul.Paul the Apostle suffered several dozen severe traumas including whippings, stoning, shipwrecks, trials, imprisonment, abandonment, and a looming death sentence. Modern psychological research suggests any one of these traumas should have been emotionally crippling for him. Instead, Paul grew stronger and more courageous. Unique to this book is the foundation of biblical pillars for healthy treatment of trauma all supported by research and scripture including fitness, sleep, healthy eating, healthy relaxation, resilience, resistance, recovery, and renewal. Within each stage the reader is challenged to choose between sets of dichotomies, one leading to healing, while the other worsens our problems. Throughout, the reader is empowered through their own suffering to become stronger in their relationships and faith: Building Strength instead of WeaknessCourage over FearVigilance over VulnerabilityHope over DespairGuilt over ShameForgiveness over CondemnationAcceptance of Faith, Trust, Grace and MissionPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) effects tens of millions with symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, broken relationships, isolation, and suicidal thoughts. Current treatment approaches include counseling and medication, but this often leaves many still struggling in darkness for years. Here, readers are guided on a very different path lit by a beacon of faith. THE CHRIST CURE: 10 Biblical Ways to Heal Your Mind from Trauma, Tragedy, and PTSD provides much-need help and guidance to “the broken” from secular to scriptural; illustrated with inspirational stories of those who are winning their own battles.

Both sides of Rita’s family came to the United States in the golden years of immigration, and in her home north of Boston Rita grows into a stubborn, perfectionist, and relentlessly bright young woman. She studies Arabic at university and moves to cosmopolitan Beirut to work as a journalist, and is then posted to Iraq after the American invasion in 2003.In Baghdad, Rita finds for the first time in her life that her safety depends on someone else, her talented interpreter Nabil al-Jumaili, an equally driven young man from a middle-class Baghdad family who is hiding a secret about his sexuality. As Nabil’s identity threatens to put him in jeopardy and Rita’s position becomes more precarious as the war intensifies, their worlds start to unravel, forcing them out of the country and into an uncertain future.
