THE POWER OF FASTING WHERE SPIRITUALITY MEETS HEALINGA profound work by Dr. Elias Rubenstein on ancient wisdom, modern science-and the path to inner renewal.What connects the fasting practice of a Buddhist monk, the silence of a Christian mystic, the prayer of a Muslim believer, and modern research on autophagy and stem cell regeneration? Fasting.This book takes you to the root of one of humanitys oldest practices-and sheds light on it like no other work before: spiritual, religious, mystical, and scientific at once.Fasting is much more than the conscious abstention from food. It is a universal tool of transformation-a gateway to deep insight, cleansing, renewal, and inner strength.In The Power of Fasting Where Spirituality Meets Healing, Dr. Elias Rubenstein builds a compelling bridge between the ancient mystery traditions and modern cell biology.The author clearly and powerfully explains: - how fasting is practiced and interpreted in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism - the deeper meaning fasting held in the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mystery schools - how asceticism, spiritual discipline, and the renunciation of desire opened paths to awakening - how mental, emotional, and instinctual fasting clears consciousness and dissolves inner patterns - and what modern science reveals about autophagy, insulin resistance, stem cell renewal, brain performance, and gut healthDr. Elias Rubenstein-author, mystic, and spiritual teacher-unites ancient esoteric knowledge with current scientific research. Without spiritual jargon or dogma, he guides readers into the depths of a practice that touches body, mind, and soul.What makes this book unique: it combines spiritual depth with medical clarity-and exposes widespread misunderstandings about fasting, from medieval church traditions to modern diet culture.It shows why true renunciation doesnt weaken-it empowers. Why conscious fasting brings clarity, vitality and freedo

When life gives you lemons, make lemon grenades. Learn the art of surviving bureaucracy with snark and style through four modern-day parables told with a contemporary fantasy twist. Set in the delightfully irreverent Grimsworld of Death and the Taxman, these tales follow Sam Davidson as he navigates the most evil, pernicious, and unremitting form of management in the world: government bureaucracy. Inspired by the Simple Sabotage Field Manual published in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (declassified in 2008), this lighthearted Grimsworld Guide includes snarky commentary on the original WWII manual by award-winning author and humorist David Hankins. Surviving bureaucracy has never been so fun. Five-star praise for David Hankins short stories: "A witty twist on the demonic haunting trope!"- Tangent Online about "Hells Bureaucracy" "Fun, exciting, and terrific characters!"- Award-Winning Author Elaine Midcoh "Light, fast-paced, and humorous!"- Bookmarkedone Reviews

Few know that the presidents desk in the Oval Office plays a part in one of the worlds most extraordinary sagas; in Resolute, noted historian Martin Sandler brings the story to light. After Sir John Franklin and his ships disappeared in the Arctic while seeking the Northwest Passage, 39 rescue missions were launched, including one by the Resolute, the Royal Navys finest vessel. In 1854, it became locked in the ice and was abandoned. A year later, a Connecticut whaling ship discovered it drifting 1,200 miles away, a 600-ton ghost ship. The whalers boarded the Resolute and steered it through a ferocious hurricane back to Connecticut. The US government re-outfitted the ship and returned it to Queen Victoria, who, in 1879, had its best timbers made into a desk for President Rutherford B. Hayesa desk still in use today. Rare photographs, paintings, engravings, and maps illustrate the book throughout. This edition is updated with a new chapter on the discovery of Franklins ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, in 2014 and 2016 in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This legendary maritime epic is perfect for fans of David Granns The Wager and Hampton Sidess The Wide Wide Sea.

Who Speaks to You as God is a bold, thought-provoking call for every believer to reclaim their right to hear directly from God. In this groundbreaking work, Ing. Kwame Yirenkyi Ampofo exposes how authoritarian religious systems distort scripture to elevate leaders into near-divine status, positioning them as the exclusive voice of God. Through meticulous biblical analysis and sound theological reasoning, the author dismantles the dangerous misinterpretations of scriptures such as Exodus 4:16, Exodus 7:1, and Exodus 18:13-27passages often used to justify spiritual control and unquestioned submission. The book begins by tracing Gods original intent for direct relationship with humanity, as seen in Eden, and follows through the Old and New Testaments to show how Jesus Christ restored this access by tearing down the veil. Readers are taken on a journey through the misapplication of Moses and Jethros roles, the misuse of spiritual fatherhood, and how such teachings silence critical thinking in the name of loyalty. Each chapter contrasts the manipulative tactics of authoritarian leaders with the liberating teachings of Jesus, who never promoted hierarchy but pointed people to the Father. The New Testaments emphasis on the priesthood of all believers and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is championed as the foundation for spiritual freedom. With practical reflection questions and action steps at the end of every chapter, the book doesnt merely critique but equips. It teaches believers how to break free from dependence on human voices, develop personal discernment, and grow in confidence in their ability to hear God. It also addresses the psychological effects of spiritual manipulation, the fear of rebellion instilled in followers, and the cultural idolization of "men of God." Ultimately, Who Speaks to You as God is not a book of rebellion, but of restoration. It is a trumpet blast against spiritual slavery and a gentle invitation back to the voice of the Shepherd. If youve ever doubted your spiritual instincts or been pressured to surrender your mind in the name of faith, this book is your guide back to truth, clarity, and freedom in Christ.
