Pastor Frank Denney struggles in secret with the loss of his daughter Elizabeth. His wife Margaret feels she is all alone as she too is burdened that her only child has died. Without the emotional support of Frank, Margaret consequently blames God for her loss and sets out on a quest to find an alternative to her faith. Meanwhile, in the unseen world, demons wreck havoc on the Denney family as well as the citizens of Chicago through deception, gang related violence and political corruption. In a devious plot, these dark entities work relentlessly to deceive and destroy the mortals any way they can. Will their scheme succeed? Will Frank soon realize he may be able to stop some of the works of evil plaguing his city? Or will the enemy prevail?

Daniel's internationally bestselling memoir of living with Asperger's Syndrome and Savant Syndrome, Born on a Blue Day established him as one of the most original talents in contemporary non-fiction. Now, in his new book, Embracing the Wide Sky, he combines meticulous scientific research with detailed descriptions of how his mind works to demonstrate the immense potential within us all. He explains how our natural intuitions can help us to learn a foreign language, why his memories are like symphonies, and what numbers and giraffes have in common. We also discover why there is more to intelligence than IQ, how our brains turn light to sight, and why too much information can make you stupid. He illustrates his arguments with examples as diverse as the private languages of twins, the compositions of poets with autism, and the breakthroughs, and breakdowns, of some of history’s greatest minds. Embracing the Wide Sky is a unique and brilliantly imaginative portrait of how we think, learn, remember and create, brimming with personal insights and anecdotes, and explanations of the most up-to-date, mind-bending discoveries from fields ranging from neuroscience to psychology and linguistics. This is a profound and provocative book that will transform our understanding and respect for every kind of mind.

Owner of "the most remarkable mind on the planet," (according to Entertainment Weekly) Daniel Tammet captivated readers and won worldwide critical acclaim with the 2007 New York Times bestselling memoir, Born On A Blue Day, and its vivid depiction of a life with autistic savant syndrome. In his fascinating new book, he writes with characteristic clarity and personal awareness as he sheds light on the mysteries of savants' incredible mental abilities, and our own. Tammet explains that the differences between savant and non-savant minds have been exaggerated; his astonishing capacities in memory, math and language are neither due to a cerebral supercomputer nor any genetic quirk, but are rather the results of a highly rich and complex associative form of thinking and imagination. Autistic thought, he argues, is an extreme variation of a kind that we all do, from daydreaming to the use of puns and metaphors. Embracing the Wide Sky combines meticulous scientific research with Tammet's detailed descriptions of how his mind works to demonstrate the immense potential within us all. He explains how our natural intuitions can help us to learn a foreign language, why his memories are like symphonies, and what numbers and giraffes have in common. We also discover why there is more to intelligence than IQ, how optical illusions fool our brains, and why too much information can make you dumb. Many readers will be particularly intrigued by Tammet's original ideas concerning the genesis of genius and exceptional creativity. He illustrates his arguments with examples as diverse as the private languages of twins, the compositions of poets with autism, and the breakthroughs, and breakdowns, of some of history's greatest minds. Embracing the Wide Sky is a unique and brilliantly imaginative portrait of how we think, learn, remember and create, brimming with personal insights and anecdotes, and explanations of the most up-to-date, mind-bending discoveries from fields ranging from neuroscience to psychology and linguistics.

Tengrism, a spiritual tradition with roots stretching back thousands of years, has captured the hearts and minds of countless individuals throughout history. With its unique blend of shamanism, animism, and reverence for nature, this ancient belief system has long been the spiritual backbone of many Central Asian cultures. Today, we are witnessing a resurgence of interest in Tengrism, as modern seekers look to reconnect with the wisdom of their ancestors and the natural world around them. In "Tengrism: Embracing the Sky and Earth," we will embark on a journey to explore the rich tapestry of Tengrist beliefs, rituals, and customs. Through a deep dive into the history, core tenets, and cultural significance of this ancient spirituality, we will come to understand how Tengrism has shaped the lives of millions and influenced the development of countless societies. The sacred connection between humanity and nature is at the heart of Tengrist philosophy, with Tengri - the eternal blue sky - representing the divine force that governs the universe. We will explore the many deities and spirits that inhabit the Tengrist pantheon, and delve into the role of shamans, who serve as intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms. As we journey through the chapters of this ebook, we will also examine the importance of rituals, ceremonies, and symbols in Tengrist practice. From the veneration of sacred mountains and trees to the use of animal totems, these elements reflect the profound respect for the natural world that is central to Tengrist belief. By understanding the wisdom and beauty of Tengrism, we hope to inspire readers to develop a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things and our shared responsibility to protect and preserve the earth for future generations. So, let us begin our exploration of Tengrism, and together, embrace the sky and earth as we uncover the secrets of this ancient spiritual tradition.
