'Twas Christmas to Passover: God’s Graphic Image of a Savior Who Would Die for His People - Extended Edition by Stephen S. Ahokas DVM https://www.amazon.com/Twas-Christmas-Passover-Graphic-Savior/dp/B0DKZPHN3M Twaschristmas2passover.com Over two thousand years ago the circumstances surrounding Christ’s birth presented a sign for the Jewish people that Jesus was born to be the Savior who would die for God’s people. But few understood the sign. Likewise, for almost two thousand years Gentile Christians have been saying, “Worthy is the Lamb . . .” without even realizing what they are saying. Consequently, the meaning of the birth of Christ and the Christmas season are not commonly understood by the masses. This book clarifies everything for both Jews and Gentiles by exploring how and what the circumstances of Christ’s birth spoke to the Jewish people at the time of His birth, and thus, revealing to us all the deeper meaning of referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.Over two thousand years ago the circumstances surrounding Christ’s birth presented a sign for the Jewish people that Jesus was born to be the Savior who would die for God’s people.

While growing up in his father’s home and church, he acquired a basic understanding of how to explain the meaning of Christ’s birth and death to others.

Ahokas studied music education, wildlife management, and pre-veterinary medicine at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. He obtained his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at The Ohio State University. While in veterinary school, he acquired a more experiential understanding of how to explain the meaning of the birth and death of Christ through involvement in a campus ministry called Campus Crusade for Christ. Since then, he has been an avid student of the Bible, especially of the Passover and the circumstances surrounding the birth and death of Christ.

Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences For The Book of Mormon: That Show Its Validity As Scripture: A Layman's Thesis by Joseph Dean Debarthe https://www.amazon.com/dp/1963917464 What about the Book of Mormon? That it is a controversial book cannot be denied. Many do not accept it as scripture. They believe that Joseph Smith, Jr., "wrote" it. They also believe that the Bible is the only scripture ever written, but nowhere does the Bible make that claim. This belief is not biblical. In fact, just the opposite is true. The Bible testifies to the existence of other written scriptures and specifically a second scripture written about the tribe of Joseph (Ezekiel 37:19). This Joseph is the same Joseph of the coat of many colors, the same Joseph sold into slavery in Egypt and the Same Joseph that saved Egypt and all of the tribes of Israel from the seven-year famine that occurred. Due to his lack of knowledge and education, if Joseph Smith, Jr., has written The Book of Mormon, it would have been disproven years ago. Instead, as time passes, more and more of it is proven to be correct. Joseph Smith could not have written it for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he was a barely literate man. He knew very little of the scriptures and no Hebrew at all. Yet The Book of Mormon is clearly written by highly educated men with a strong background in Hebrew customs and writing techniques, none of which were known by any American in the 1800s. More information on this subject will be explored within this book. This book was begun by the direction of the Holy Spirit and written to the entire body of Christ. Some might ask why they should read it. Some will read it to try to refute it; others will read it to learn and still, others will use it to further their own agendas. However, you should read it and pray over it, asking God through His Holy Spirit to give you a witness as to its validityAbout the author Joseph Dean DeBarthe is a fourth-generation member of the Reorganized Charch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Comminity of Christ. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and Computer Information Systems from Central State University, Warrenshurg Mo. Mr. DeBarthe served in the US.

Marked...: A Checkmark, or a Cross by Magnolia Robinson https://www.amazon.com/Marked-Check-Mark-Reverend-Magnolia-Robinson/dp/1662887191 Magnoliarobinson.com It's no secret that we are in a great time of woes. Whether we have fully come to the Tribulations described in the scriptures, is not yet certain. I quote multiple Scripture references that describe what will take place in the end times preceding the Second Coming of Jesus. I talk about the increase in people complaining about the churches because of people supposedly living hypocritical lives. Those same individuals much of the time, are still living worldly lives themselves. Marked is a reminder that Jesus is still coming, even if we don't know exactly when. I discuss several issues tying Biblical scripture to our Post Modern current events. I also go so far as to admit that the prophesies in Scriptures concerning the end times are being fulfilled as we read. Last thing anyone want's is to be caught on the wrong side of salvation. So the question is, "Who's mark do you have? The mark of the lawless one? or the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ? He is closer now to coming than before. It is worthwhile to thoughtfully consider and decide. My Name is Reverend T. Magnolia Robinson-Felix. I have my Batchelor's Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1996.

Intertwining Choices by Cleresse Annette Sprague Cleressespraguestories.com When I looked at Rosalia's face, she was pale as a ghost. Her smile was gone, and for a brief moment, I thought her eyes looked 'dead.' This haunting image would stay with me for years. Eventually, I came to understand why I had the haunting image of Rosalia. I had allowed my own unknown prejudice to show through, and it targeted her. I condoned the prejudice message that said it was okay to treat Rosalia as unworthy simply because she was different from me. Rosalia was cut deep with the knife of prejudice, and the scar would be eternal. Our youth today have an array of social issues they are trying to cope with and to comprehend. As an example: they may struggle with friendship, bullying, prejudice, or drugs. Our youth are often confused, searching for answers, and in need of guidance. Parents, families, school staff, the juvenile system, church and civic youth groups, and the medical profession are all educators who impact the social development of today's youth. Intertwining Choices is a curriculum designed to aid these educators as they guide our youth through formative years today and to socially empower them as they traverse into the realm of adulthood tomorrow.

Quit The Game: The Aligned Man Method: 31 Principles for Men Who Are Done Chasing Status and Approval by Ryan Vertucci https://www.amazon.com/Quit-Game-Aligned-Principles-Approval/dp/1971949728 Alignedmanmethod.com Quitthegame.com The life you are chasing is real, but the game is rigged. You have seen the men with the boats, the cars, the money, the women. You have stopped mid-scroll for them. Maybe for just a second. Maybe longer than you’d admit. And you have told yourself that’s the answer—that if you could just get there, everything would fall into place. The dating problems. The quiet suspicion that you are running the wrong play, that hum inside your chest that never goes quiet no matter what you try. The Tate clips, the Rollo Tomassi posts, the dating-app spreadsheets, the thousands you spent on the programs. You have done everything men are told to do…and the hum is still there. Ryan Vertucci had that life. The 4,300 square foot waterfront home with the boat at the back door. The BMW i8 and the Aston Martin Superleggera in the driveway. A million dollars in personal income working a few hours a week. He was recruited by Dan Bilzerian’s organization to help sell the formula, brought in specifically because he looked like proof it worked. His Instagram was featured by Men of Action as one of the profiles students were told to model themselves after. When the industry needed to show other men what the destination looked like, they pointed at Ryan. Then a woman looked at him and said the ten words that destroyed something: “You’re just another rich guy in Tampa with a boat.” She didn’t say it cruelly. She said it the way you say something obvious. She looked at everything he had built and she didn’t see power. She saw a pattern. A type. A man she had seen a hundred times before, standing in the middle of everything the formula promised, wondering why it felt like nothing. The entire system is built to keep you chasing. This is the book Ryan wishes someone had handed him at twenty-two, before he spent nearly a decade and over a million dollars finding out the hard way. Inside Quit the Game: 31 Principles for Men Who Are Done Chasing Status and Approval, you will find: The Be Do Have inversion — why the sequence every man is following is completely backwards, and what to do instead 31 principles for becoming the man you are waiting to feel like, built on the spiritual and emotional foundation underneath real alignment The hidden architecture behind the lifestyle you are chasing, told by the man who was on the inside of it Why getting the money, the status, and the women will not close the gap… and what the industry never tells you about why A direct, blunt, sometimes funny account of what is actually waiting on the other side of the life you want This is not a pickup book.

The night air hung thick with Miami’s ever-present humidity, wrapping the city in a suffocating embrace. Neon lights flickered along Ocean Drive, casting distorted reflections in rain-slicked streets, the remnants of a brief but violent storm. In the alleys and backrooms of the city’s underbelly, the storm had only just begun. The game had been in motion for years, long before those playing it even knew they were pawns. Borders had shifted, alliances had formed and have since become fractured, and blood had been spilled in quiet corners of the city where no one dared to look. The rules were unwritten, but they were absolute: Power demanded obedience. Betrayal demanded retribution. And the past, no matter how deeply buried, had a way of clawing its way back to the surface. For those caught in its grip, it was simply survival. A phone rang in the dim glow of a downtown penthouse, cutting through the silence like a blade against glass. The man who answered spoke in measured tones, his voice betraying neither urgency nor fear. Across town, another call was made, this time to a woman whose life will be spent unraveling truths hidden in the shadows. And somewhere between them, in a place where trust was currency and loyalty a death sentence, a decision was made that could never be undone. What had started as a feud was now a reckoning. And before the sun rose over Miami’s restless skyline, the first shot would be fired. About the Author Rodney Phillips was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he has spent his entire life.

The AI-Human Paradox: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals About Consciousness and the Future of Being Human by Bruce D Randall https://www.amazon.com/dp/1960346946 brucedrandall.ai We're teaching machines to think. Who's teaching us to be conscious? Although AI can process a billion data points in seconds, it lacks any capacity to sit in silence and know that it exists. At this time in world history, humanity stands at an unprecedented crossroads. Artificial intelligence is reshaping every dimension of life--how we work, create, connect, and even understand reality itself. However, in the race to build smarter machines, we've neglected the deeper question: What is the intelligence that no machine can manufacture? The AI-Human Paradox explores the territory between the algorithm and awareness, between computational power and the quiet force of consciousness. Written by a software consulting professional with decades of experience in the technology industry--who is also a mediator and Reiki Master--this book bridges two worlds that rarely speak to each other, and as such reveals why their conversation is the most important of our times. Inside, you'll discover: Why the rise of AI makes human consciousness more essential--not less. The paths that artificial and human intelligence may walk together--or apart. What meditation, energy work, and contemplative traditions reveal about the limits of machines. A vision for a future in which technology serves awakening rather replacing it. This is not a book for technologists or spiritual seekers alone. Instead, it's for anyone who has felt the tension between a world moving faster and a should asking to go deeper. About the author Bruce D. Randall has spent thirty years inside the technology industry and twenty years sitting still. That tension —enterprise software leadership at companies like Oracle and AT&T on one side, two decades of contemplative practice on the other — is what his books are built to hold. He writes about artificial intelligence and quantum computing with a combination almost no one brings to the subject: the fluency of someone who has actually sold and deployed these systems at scale, and the skepticism of someone who has spent years watching his own mind and knows the difference between a capability and a claim. His work is deliberately anti-hype. Where the industry promises revolution, Randall asks for the evidence — and when the evidence isn't there, he says so, on the page, in plain language. His books are fact-checked to a standard most technology writing never attempts, because he believes readers deserve to know which claims are proven and which are merely sold. He currently serves as fractional CEO of a technology group, so the questions he writes about are not abstract to him — they are the ones he is answering in the room, under real stakes, right now. Across The AI Human Paradox, The Quantum Human Paradox, and The QAI Human Paradox, he traces a single widening question: as machines grow more capable, what remains distinctly, irreducibly human? In The End of Smart, he turns the lens on intelligence itself — and on what happens to a society built to reward it when intelligence stops being scarce. What his experience revealed about getting a job today. One line runs through all of it: Power seizes. Consciousness receives. Bruce holds a Data Science certificate from MIT and also holds an AI product management certification, and lives on the coast of Massachusetts.

Re-Placed: Answering the Call of Leadership in the Age of AI by Kari Zeller https://www.amazon.com/dp/1639081941 Ttgn-consulting.com Amazon Best Seller in Strategy & Competition, Business Mentoring & Coaching, and Business Technology Innovation A Fast Company Press Book AI didn't arrive with a warning. It arrived with a question: what are you going to do now? Today, leaders are caught in a cascade of contradictions. The technology that promises unprecedented capability also delivers unprecedented doubt. AI makes everything faster, cheaper, and more capable. It also makes the most fundamental question of leadership unavoidable: what are humans actually for? You did not choose this moment. But you are responsible for who you and your organization become in it. In Re-Placed, Leadership Strategist and CEO Kari Zeller offers something rare in the AI conversation: a leadership book that starts with the human, not the technology. The arrival of artificial intelligence doesn't have to displace us. But it will, unless we learn to re-place ourselves first—to consciously reposition who we are, how we lead, and where we create value in a world where intelligence is no longer ours alone. Through stories as practical as they are personal, Zeller shows how the strongest leaders take the helm during existential change, how re-placing ourselves is key to flourishing in this new era, and how what we choose to value matters more than what AI can do. Drawing on decades of experience guiding senior executives through high-stakes transitions, from combat operations to the boardroom, Zeller provides a framework for the proactive, innovative leadership this moment demands. The linear thinking that built your success cannot survive this exponential wave. Re-Placed equips you to create the conditions where people and organizations don't just survive the shift, but flourish in it. The future will not be managed. It must be led.About the author Kari Zeller is a battle-tested leader, U.S. Air Force combat veteran, and Founder and CEO of TGN Consulting. She brings transformative strategies from the battlefield to the boardroom, advising boards, CEOs, and senior executive teams across Fortune 100 companies, healthcare systems, retail, private equity, and governmental organizations. Her methodology focuses on actively aligning strategy, culture, and leadership to create coherence and clarity when the stakes are highest. She is the author of the forthcoming book Re-Placed: Answering the Call of Leadership in the Age of AI (Fast Company Press, July 14, 2026), which provides a provocative and essential playbook for executives seeking to mobilize their organizations for a future shaped by AI, robotics, and quantum computing. Rather than allowing people to be passively displaced by technology, Zeller champions a strategy of consciously "re-placing" ourselves to harness disruption, reimagine value creation, and ensure human-centric growth.

The Forsaken Founder: Gouverneur Morris, the Unsung Patriot Who Wrote the Constitution, Stood Up to Slavery, and Survived the Reign of Terror by Scott S. Greenberger https://www.amazon.com/Forsaken-Founder-Gouverneur-Constitution-Survived/dp/1668094940 Uncover the little-known story of Gouverneur Morris, the brilliant yet overlooked Founding Father whose visionary ideas from writing key components of the US Constitution to helping create America’s first bank to holding an unwavering stance against slavery shaped the nation’s future. When George Washington and the Continental Army faced starvation, he turned to Gouverneur Morris to help devise a plan to provision the troops. When the fledgling nation needed a financial system to sustain the Revolution, Morris again was called upon to help design its first national bank and currency. When the compromises between North and South, large states and small, had to be stitched into a single governing document, the task of shaping the Constitution’s final language fell largely to him. At the Constitutional Convention, Morris spoke more often than any delegate save James Madison—and more forcefully against slavery. When Alexander Hamilton died in a tragic duel, his widow insisted that Hamilton’s closest friend, Gouverneur Morris, deliver the eulogy. Morris continued to serve the republic after its founding as envoy to France during the Revolution and Reign of Terror, and as an early visionary who grasped that New York, not Philadelphia, could become the nation’s economic capital if a canal opened the interior to the sea. And yet, despite these achievements, Morris’s legacy is little known today. In this deeply researched biography, The Forsaken Founder, Scott Greenberger restores this indispensable figure to history and asks why one of the most prescient and principled founders faded from memory. Was it his uncompromising opposition to slavery? His unapologetic aristocratic style? His belief that liberty required structure as well as passion? Moving from the battlefields of the American Revolution to the salons of Paris and the blood-soaked streets of the French Revolution, this book restores Morris to his rightful place in history. It is the story of a man admired by giants, resisted by factions, and ultimately forsaken by memory—and of a republic still grappling with the truths he dared to speak.About the author Scott Greenberger is the executive editor of Stateline. He was a newspaper reporter at the Austin American-Statesman and The Boston Globe and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, and GQ. Greenberger has a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and a master’s degree in international relations from George Washington University. He lives in Takoma Park, Maryland.

The Origin of Everything by Vernell Moss https://www.amazon.com/dp/1665790687 Throughout history, humanity has endeavored to understand the origins of life, a pursuit often referred to as the “Universal Question.” From an early age, children ask their parents, “How did we get here?” This question is not limited to the context of human existence but also encompasses the origin of life. It is not just a single inquiry but a three-part exploration. It begins with our natural birth, extends to the birth of our parents, grandparents, and ancestors, and ultimately leads to questioning the origin of life. This complex question serves as the gateway to our journey of uncovering knowledge of everything under the sun. Similarly, scientists apply the same question while studying the natural world and the beginning of everything, seeking not only to unravel the beginnings of humankind but also to probe the genesis and significance of all that exists, starting with the very cosmos itself. Like orphans searching for their biological roots, we turn to science, religion, and philosophy for answers, unaware that these fields are also driven by the “Universal Question,” a curiosity. Curiosity is the “cause,” science is the “effect,” and religion, atheism, and philosophies about life are the results.

Sax identifies six key factors: schools unfriendly to boys; video games; medications for ADHD; environmental toxins; the devaluation of masculinity; and, in brand-new material, the combined forces of pornography, AI, and the manosphere. Throughout, Sax presents practical solutions, sharing strategies that educators have found effective in reengaging boys at school, as well as crucial guidance for parents about everything from selecting a school to preparing a meal. A powerful call to action, Boys Adrift is essential reading for parents and educators who want to build a brighter future for America’s sons.About the author Leonard Sax MD PhD graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the age of 19, and then went on to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned both a PhD in psychology, and an MD.
