If the world was to be defined as anything at all, then one could simply refer to words. Dependent intrinsically in the layout of symbolic letters, phrases and texts, it does not exist by itself. In their intricate garlands, lines and symbolic pictures, words are what truthfully illustrate everything that exists. Just like the reality is built upon a structure of complex paragraphs, piling into currents of principles that mold the concepts of the reality each individual person apprehends, these same words will be able to give rise to a story truly unique. When grasped by the periodic beats of a person's heart, pre-established terms can be assembled into a novel of your own.
In a world where words are more than just fleeting whispers, tales we tell one another, or stories we observe in hope of having a fairytale-like life, this series of introspective and poignant stories explores the hidden emotions and inner struggles that many face but rarely express. Just Words is not merely about the words themselves but about the raw and unfiltered experiences. They represent experiences that bind us, haunt us, and sometimes set us free in various ways with a voice that is both haunting and reflective of our broken parts we may carry in our hearts. In our world, each of our stories and every word carries weight while resonating with echoes of our untold truths. Just words are never Just Words.
John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

It's like we're on an expedition together, exploring the uncharted territories of the mind and soul. Who knows what we might find along the way? The possibilities are endless.

But who am I really after everything that happened? Who am I when I drop the mask? My biggest enemy is myself. Each of the little stories in this book reveal a bit more about me and my life. At only 12 years old, I have probably experienced more than some older people because I survived myself. This book is about loosing everyone and finding myself.

2020 Christy Award finalist *** Robin Windsor has spent most of her life under an assumed name, running from her family's ignominious past. She thought she'd finally found sanctuary in her rather unremarkable used bookstore just up the street from the marina in River City, Michigan. But the store is struggling and the past is hot on her heels. When she receives an eerily familiar book in the mail on the morning of her father's scheduled execution, Robin is thrown back to the long-lost summer she met Peter Flynt, the perfect boy who ruined everything. That book--a first edition Catcher in the Rye--is soon followed by the other books she shared with Peter nearly twenty years ago, with one arriving in the mail each day. But why would Peter be making contact after all these years? And why does she have a sinking feeling that she's about to be exposed all over again? With evocative prose that recalls the classic novels we love, Erin Bartels pens a story that shows that words--the ones we say, the ones we read, and the ones we write--have more power than we imagine. ***** "Alternating between flashbacks and the present day, The Words Between Us is a story of love found in the written word and love found because of the written word. It is also a novel of the consequences of those words that are left unsaid. Bartels' compelling sophomore novel (after We Hope for Better Things, 2019) will satisfy fans and new readers alike."--Booklist "Erin Bartels drew me in with a unique premise and held me there with her strong storytelling and complex characters. . . . Bartels has given her readers a novel to read slowly and contemplate. It shows a true love for literature that all book-lovers will enjoy and a deeply rich storyline that will keep you engaged until long after the final page is closed."--Life Is Story "The Words between Us is a story to savor and share: a lyrical novel about the power of language and the search for salvation. A secondhand bookstore owner hiding from a legacy of scandal, tragedy, and heartbreak must unlock the secrets of the past to claim her happiness. I loved every sentence, every word."--Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son and The Promise between Us "Erin Bartels has done it again. She's created a story that has set up camp in my mind and now feels more like a memory, something I lived, than a piece of fiction. The added benefit is that it's a story about books, some of the best ones ever written. If you are the kind of person who finds meaning and life in the written word, then you'll find yourself hidden among these pages."--Shawn Smucker, author of Light from Distant Stars "Vividly drawn and told in expertly woven dual timelines, The Words between Us is a story about a woman who has spent years trying to escape her family's scandals and the resilience she develops along the way. Erin Bartels's characters are a treat: complex, dynamic, and so lifelike I half expected them to climb straight out of the pages."--Kathleen Barber, author of Are You Sleeping
These fictional secret memoirs, set mainly during the Cold War of the 1980s, tell the story of Sir Ralph Martens and his rise through the ranks of 'The Department' a largely secretive branch of the British Government. The Department's remit was to maintain a constant level of low-level fear amongst the population, thus enabling their manipulation through the media. As he neared the top of the hierarchy, Sir Ralph was entrusted with darker secrets of international importance. His fine-tuned political senses informed him that change was in the air. By the late 1980s, he knew a dramatic shift on the world stage was expected, even imminent; but the low-key manner in which it happened surprised everyone. He wanted his memoirs published posthumously because he wanted to create the biggest stink in British political history. He wanted to tell the truth.
