Feeling shame, uncertainty, or fears regarding your future? This spiritual journal book includes the author, Giovanna Taylor's, personal stories about an uncertain phase of her young life when she made the types of choices that led to very painful and dark consequences. She openly shares those experiences and how, in facing her dilemma, she found an uncomfortable conflict between how she chose to live her life and what she said she believed spiritually. As she unpacks her story, she describes a debilitating feeling of shame and blame and what it led her to do. Along with Giovanna's transparent approach to telling her story, you'll find some of the Bible scriptures that once served to both confuse and challenge her and the ones that ultimately led her to overcome her emotional struggle to submit to an authentic relationship with God. Discussing this phase of her life was very difficult. She imagined that the sensitive nature of what she exposes about her testimony may also be difficult and even controversial for some to read, therefore this work begins with a warning disclaimer to her readers. For those who choose to journey with her, back to this phase of her life, Giovanna provides places for the reader to pause for words of encouragement, the opportunity to examine her lessons learned, and for the reader to consider self-application. She also provides, as a bonus to her readers, journal activity pages from her companion spiritual workbook, "In Search of Wisdom" the Planner Series, to guide her readers in experiencing some of the Bible study routines that she has practiced, preached, and taught over the past 30 years after what she refers to as her, true Baptism. So, grab this book, your Bible, and perhaps a few tissues and begin the journey with our author and inspirational guide, Giovanna Taylor. As she would say in closing, "Until we meet in words again, hugs, and may God bless you!"

Chinese Ghost Stories offers a selection of entertaining Chinese tales of the fantastical and paranormal. Author Lafcadio Hearn had a great affinity for the traditional ghost stories of China, and these stories clearly inspired him as he penned subsequent works. Set in richly atmospheric locales, these tales speak of heroic sacrifice, chilling horror, eerie beauty and otherworldly intervention. The six ghost stories include: The Soul of the Great Bell The Story of Ming Yi The Legend of Zhi Nu The Return of Yan Zhenjing The Tradition of the Tea Plant The Tale of the Porcelain God This completely reset and pinyin-converted edition of Hearn's classic work contains a new foreword by Victoria Cass, which places the stories, their author, and his love for the strange and mysterious into perspective. If you're seeking insights into the traditional Chinese world of ghosts, goblins and demons--or just want to feel a chill run down your spine on a dark and lonely night--then this book is the perfect companion.
