    The purpose of this book is for the reader to understand the altered mindset of the woman after the fall and to trace its consequences in relation to her husband and all forms of authority. Eve was made in the perfect environment with the perfect mate. She understood her place as his complement and help mate to rule over nature. However, due to the distortions conjured up by Satan, what was once a beautiful and harmonious role becomes in her mind inferior and debased. Her view of submission turns into subjection, and a complementary role becomes competition. That distorted view of her identity and role continues throughout the ages and is heightened today with the Women's Rights Movement. This and other pressures seek to define us according to the world's system to justify fighting and clamoring for recognition and status.This book exposes the error of such thinking and offers hope for true freedom when we revisit the place of identity and purpose according to God's original intent. This is a penetrating work as the author takes us to find our true identity and security in the Father and fulfill our purpose in Him, dispelling the notion that we must achieve status and independence through our own striving. The author also deals with our male counterpart, who can learn to trust us when we are truly submitted to God's order of authority. The woman can win his affection and respect by appealing to his highest virtues rather than calling attention to her physical attributes and becoming a rival, threatening his position and peace or an object or plaything.The author argues that submission is never to be viewed as inequality and points out how Jesus was equal to God but submitted to the will of the Father in all things (Philippians 2). In the chapter "The Power of Influence," the author shows how a woman can use her influence for good or evil and may resort to manipulation, seduction, and control to gain her objectives. Two negative stereotypes of woman are presented: the seductress and the contentious woman. These stereotypes are offset by "The Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31 as the culmination of God's ideal for a woman. The narrative uses ample illustrations from the bible of different categories of women of influence, but in the final chapter, the author specifically highlights women who are considered inferior or downright despised. It shows God's elevation of them by entrusting them with critical revelation.

I have never regretted it. His deep love for his country resonates with me and foregrounds the essence of this compelling memoir. Honoured to Serve is an insightful reflection by one of Nigeria's most dedicated public servants." - Professor Yemi OsinbajoVice President of Nigeria (2015-2023) "Fela's passion for Lagos and Nigeria is palpable. His entry into public service offered him the opportunity to bring his love and ideas for a "working Lagos" and, by extension, Nigeria to bear. Beyond all the feats recorded in this fascinating memoir, I can personally attest that Fela always gave his best in all tasks I assigned to him during his time as my Special Adviser on Education." - Akinwunmi AmbodeGovernor of Lagos State (2015-2019) "Fela's Honoured to Serve is a candid account of his time as Special Adviser on Education to the Governor of Lagos State. As a fellow cabinet member and close friend, I can testify to Fela's quest for excellence and effective governance. This memoir gives verifiable information on his activities and accompanying challenges. It's definitely a good read!" - Akinyemi AshadeCommissioner of Finance, Lagos State (2015-2019) "As Fela's first boss, I was privileged to mould his nascent managerial abilities. His undeniable commitment and results delivery influenced my decision to promote him almost every year until he resigned to start his own business. In Honoured to Serve, he brings his experiences to bear, offering proven ideas that those aspiring to positions in both private and public administration will find invaluable." - John Obaro Software Entrepreneur & Founder, SystemSpecs

    "Apropos, the poet's play on words with his title, A Field of Wars as he compares the necessity of certain wars to the farmer who must wage war on weeds. In this wonderful book, Wellington affirms that 'until the foundation of falsehood is shaken by iron hands, until weakness challenges strength, we will not partake in the blessings of the benevolent dew!' The book, therefore, abounds in metaphors giving clever examples of the need to fight for what is right, plus the vital need to be brave."-Liz Mastin, Author of Lake Dancers; Cour d'Alene, United States."In A Field of Wars, Wellington Nwogu draws on familiar images of chaos and agony, to explore different sociopolitical upheavals that characterise Nigeria and elsewhere. With simple and rhythmic lines, Nwogu strikingly conveys an urge message that borders on redemption from social ruins."-Stephen Kekeghe, Ph.D, Joint winner, ANA Prize for Poetry, 2021."Wellington Nwogu's A Field of Wars transports the reader to the realm of consciousness unto battling against whatever troubles his people as it reflects on the hope and victory that comes thereafter. Nwogu is a great poet that gets under your skin and sticks there like a tattoo."-Jerry Langdon, Editor of Raven Cage Zine, Germany."In trying to find the fleeing home in the ashes and history, Wellington Nwogu interrogates the impacts of loss and hope. His direct and disarming voice is engineered by raw sincerity. He inimitably paints the rotten edifice of grief in our hearts with simple words."Umar Yogiza Jr. Award-winning poet.

    This exploration delves into the concept of genocide, as defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which involves acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. Notably, three petitions from African Americans have been submitted to the United Nations, with one distinctly addressing this Convention. In 1951, a pivotal moment unfolded with the presentation of the third petition, which boldly accused the United States government of committing genocide against the African American race.This dissertation scrutinizes the historical context in which the third petition was drafted and presented. A noteworthy aspect of this petition is its radical accusation, which emerged during an era dominated by anti-Communist hysteria in the United States. The pervasive fear of subversion in the face of any form of criticism colored the reception and interpretation of the petition. Historians engage in ongoing debates about the true goals behind this particular petition, seeking to unravel the motivations and intentions embedded within the historical circumstances of its creation.

    Balm in Gilead: Botanical Conversations From Montserrat, explores the medicinal plant heritage on the volcanic Caribbean Island where the people have had a long tradition of using weeds and herbs not only as food and as medicine but also for spiritual wellness. The botanical varieties found on the island are rich and their uses indispensable to the island's traditional healing practices. Rooted deeply in their African heritage, these healing methods have been passed down over the generations. The devastation from the 1995 volcanic eruption rendered three quarters of the island uninhabitable and with that came the invariable loss of much of its ethnobotany. The author shares the concerns of many on the island that if not documented and preserved, the peculiar relationship which the people have always had with the plants in their ecosystem, will be forever lost. This book re-introduces some of the many plants found on the island and their healing properties in the hope that this, and future generations will continue to appreciate the life sustaining properties hidden in the foliage around them.

    The Revelation of Judas Iscariot is about Love. The love that God, the Father, has for his children, Us. For only by his love and our actions can we be called the children of God. It is about Salvation. Man's Salvation. It is about God's Plan for Mankind and for his Son, Jesus Christ, the Sacrificial Lamb. Jesus Christ died for the sins on Man and scripture had to be fulfilled. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is not and should not be about Judas Iscariot. It is about God's Plan.

    Ruotsin kuningas Kustaa III ryhtyi 1788 sotaan Venäjää vastaan valloittaakseen takaisin Suomen 1700- luvan edellisissä sodissa menetetyt alueet. Ruotsalaiset upseerit kapinoivat sotaa vastaan ja halusivat lopettaa sen. He ottivat yhteyttä keisarinna Katariinaan haluten tätä kautta ohittaa kuninkaan ja lopettaa sodan.Savon prikaatin aikaisempi komentaja Yrjö Maunu Sprengtporten oli loikannut Venäjälle ja halusi sieltä käsin irrottaa Suomen Ruotsista ja perustaa Venäjään kuuluvan suuriruhtinaskunnan ajatellen, että suomalaiset saisivat näin enemmän vapautta päättää omista asioistaan.Kirja kertoo savolaisesta Haapaniemen sotakoulussa opiskelleesta Nils Kopp-nimisestä upseerioppilaasta, joka osallistuu sotaan ensin kersanttina ja sitten jääkäriupseerina. Hän osallistuu Savon alueilla käytyihin taisteluihin Kyyrössä, Porrassalmella, Parkuinmäellä ja Savitaipaleella. Hän näkee myös läheltä Ruotsin laivaston Viipurin kujanjuoksun ja Ruotsinsalmen toisen meritaistelun.Jääkärit tunnetaan Suomessa sisällissodan taistelijoina. Näitä jääkäreitä edelsi 1770 perustettu Savon kuninkaallinen jääkärijoukko, joka Kustaa III: n sodan aikana laajeni jääkärirykmentiksi. Jääkärit osallistuivat myöhemmin Suomen sotaan 1808-1809, joka päättyi Suomen joutumiseen Venäjän vallan alle. Savon jääkärirykmentin historia päättyi vuonna 1810.Venäjän vallan aikana järjestettiin jääkärijoukkoja uudelleen ja näitä joukkoja oli Suomessa 1830-luvulle saakka.Yksi kaikkien aikojen loistokkaimmista suomalaisista hahmoista on Kustaa III: n suosikki hovimies, naistenmies ja sotilas Kustaa Mauri Armfelt. Nils Kopp tutustuu häneen sodan kuluessa ja Armfelt vaikuttaa Nilsin kohtaloon huomattavassa määrin.Sodan aikana Nils menee naimisiin, saa lapsen ja ison kartanon Joroisista. Nils ei ole tyypillinen seikkailuromaanien sankarihahmo, joka rientää tappeluksesta toiseen kaikki vastustajansa nujertaen. Kirjassa hän onnistuu kaatamaan vain yhden naisen, siis kohtuullinen (vähimmäisvaatimus?) määrä sankarille. Hän on tutustunut valistuksen ajan aatteisiin ja yrittää soveltaa niitä elämän kulkuunsa vaihtelevalla menestyksellä.

    The classic biography chronicling the rise of this extraordinary band up to the departure of Tarja, now back in print as an affordable reprint! Paperback, 353 pages, w/ 32 pages of rare black&white photos. Meet Nightwish - the "shitty band with shitty equipment and no commercial potential" from Kitee, Finland, that turns out to be a Platinum-selling, trend-setting international musical phenomenon. This is theirstory, as told by Tuomas, Tarja, Emppu, Jukka, Sami, and Marco themselves; a tale of a Disney dreamerand a drama queen; of frowning Finns, exhibitionist roadies, eccentric producers, cursed bassists, faithhealers, death threats, behind-the-scenes battles, managerial mayhem, fame and fortune, loss and lament>"Worth the wait!" --Dave Ling, Classic Rock UK "The Nightwish story offers up a spectacular dramatic arc, and Mape Ollila grabs it with both hands. He has clearly been close and personal with the people he interviewed for the book, and this shows up in the candid statements that find their way onto the page. No stone is left unturned, whether it is about personal chemistry, contractual wrangling, or simple old-fashioned rock stars getting trashed." --Jarkko Jokelainen, Helsingin Sanomat "Even though it is sanctioned by the band, Once Upon A Nightwish isn't a puff piece. Ollila draws his own conclusions, and both positives and negatives are portrayed throughout. The band s founder and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen is a fascinating figure. He s a musical wizard, but his and the band s lack of communication skills causes problem after problem. Tarja Turunen is also a compelling person. Ollila chronicles her transformation from shy schoolgirl to superstar diva. "All of the band members are interviewed throughout the book, along with industry and record label insiders, friends and family. A lot of different perspectives are given, which gives a pretty well-rounded picture of the band s story. Once Upon A Nightwish is a compelling read, and one that s equally interesting for hardcore or casual fans of the group. "The thing that came to my mind after finishing it was that there really needs to be a Behind The Music episode on Nightwish. Their emergence from a small Finnish town to international superstardom culminating in the public firing of their lead singer and trying to maintain their success is the exact dramatic arc that makes those shows so interesting." --Chad Bower, About.com

THE AUTHORShreyananda Natha is the author of popular and best-selling yoga books. He has, among other things, written one of the most comprehensive books about yoga - EVERYTHING ABOUT YOGA and the study book - TEACHING YOGA AND MEDITATION BEYOND THE POSES.MY NAME AND MY MISSIONShreyananda Natha was the name I was given when I was initiated into the Natha Order and received the master mantra - the Shodasi mantra, after studying yoga and tantra for over twelve years, the highest mantra in yoga and tantra. It means "he who knows".After practicing yoga and meditation continuously for over twenty years, having a yoga school for many years, and leading studies for yoga teachers, I wanted to get out more widely with yoga into our whole society, out of the small yoga room. Spread the knowledge of yoga, our chakra system, and Kundalini Shakti to anyone who will listen. What needed to be added were educational fact books on yoga that didn't just skim the surface or deal with the author's private life. So it became my Sankalpa, my magical wish, and my mission to create exciting yoga books that everyone should be able to read and enjoy. To show how we can apply and use yoga in different areas of life and achieve success and health. Here and now.If you like my books, feel free to follow me on my social media, share and like, tell your friends about the books, and write an honest review; one or two lines don't matter. All support is precious. Thanks!
