From the author of The Passionate and the Proud, a saga of love and rebellion sweeping from the green hills of Scotland to the shores of colonial America. In eighteenth-century Scotland, Selena MacPherson is the proud princess of Coldstream Castle. She’s never met a man who doesn’t desire her, but she has yet to meet the man she desires in return. Royce Cambell is the fabled son of a ruthless Highland clan. He has fleets and warriors ready to do his bidding and his frightening legends glitter about him like a cloak. Royce is promised to Veronica Blakemore, a woman of fire and ice, but when he meets Selena at an Edinburgh ball, there is no denying the burning promise of ecstasy between them. But only in the new world, across raging seas, does that promise have the chance to be fulfilled. Set in the exhilarating time of the American Revolution, Flames of Desire is a rousing tale of pride, passion, and a love triangle that changes the course of three turbulent lives.

Here is a book of 88 poems, written in about last eight months by the poet on various themes. These include his varied feelings, ideas, moods, realization and so on. Again, some of the poems read like a series of soliloquy of his mind. The topics are spread over arenas like economic, social, cultural, and emotional spheres. Issues from the national and international fields sometimes haunt him though, he rather consciously avoid speaking on political agenda. His political belief is rather unpronounced in his poems, although he has definitely some areas of conviction. His religious feelings denote that he has a pantheistic turn of mind and his humanistic faith is sometimes forcefully expressed. Certain poems show a similarity with Tagore's belief in the God of Life. The form as well as language of the poems is quite simple; their contents are expressed in a matter-of-fact way, with little scope of ambiguity. It seems the poet does not believe much in experimentation. Like his first book from the Partridge, it is expected that this present volume will also be critically appreciated by the readers of poetry in the international literary arena.

In the twenty-first century, there are few books written as firsthand accounts of the experience of complete abandonment to God. God has brought forward mystics in the past two thousand years of Christianity, individuals totally devoted to him, and the message of divine love and mercy. He has this message for us today. Gods messages come with warning. Warnings remind us that heaven and hell are realthat sin offends and wounds the heart of God. St. Julie Ann, as God calls her, has been a vessel of the Lord since she had her first vision of Jesus Christ in 2006. No words were exchanged. She walked down a hallway and knelt and kissed his feet. Then she had a near-death experience in 2012. God returned her to life after a surgery gone wrong. This was the beginning of her great adventure and passionate love affair with her Lord. Like so many of the chosen ones of God, St. Julie Ann is honest and uncomplicated. She records her experiences in her own words, without theological training. She lives a consecrated life outside of a religious community and struggles to support herself and her children and grandchildren, working three jobs and sacrificing for her family as much of the world does today. Although Bella Louise conveys St. Julie Anns experiences from her daily lessons, visions, and experiences with Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary, the idea of Christ is with us, and Mary within us is a basic belief of Christianity and Catholicism. You will be reminded that the words of love and devotion spoken by Jesus to Julie Ann are words he speaks to all of us. We all could live this great romance! In a world without kindness, Julie Anns teaching from Mother Mary, her words of compassion, and care for the children of the world reminds us that we are always embraced by her maternal heart. By writing this honest and true account, Bella Louise Allen provides you with a compelling portrait of what it means to live with total abandonment to God while struggling to live at the same time in the everyday world.

Old Path White Clouds presents the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Drawn directly from 24 Pali, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources, and retold by Thich Nhat Hanh in his inimitably beautiful style, this book traces the Buddha's life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of Svasti, the buffalo boy, and partly through the eyes of the Buddha himself. Old Path White Clouds is destined to become a classic of religious literature. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. His life long efforts to generate peace and reconciliation moved Martin Luther King, Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. He is the founder of Van Hanh Buddhist University in Saigon, and has taught at Columbia University and the Sorbonne. He is the author of Being Peace, The Miracle of Mindfulness, Peace Is Every Step, and 75 other books. ''I have not avoided including the various difficulties the Buddha encountered, both from his own disciples and in relation to the wider society. If the Buddha appears in this hook as a man close to us, it is partly due to recounting such difficulties.'' --from the author's afterword
