Everyone and everything perpetually evolves and changes, and in our known or unknown quest to understand ourselves and others, we accomplish this one experience at a time. With each conversation, interaction, or thought undertaken, our true nature and our divine heritage return to our understanding and awareness. We awaken to know our position upon the ladder of life and know we are never alone in our climb! Each and every one of us that has walked the face of the earth are upon the ladder and rediscovering our own truthone rung, one experience at a time. As we continually peel away the layers of illusion that conceal our true Being, and as we unlearn that which has been imprinted within our minds and our thoughts from a young age, we can lovingly help one another to the topwhere the sky is not the limit!

Early in 1944, German commander Field Marshal Erwin Rommel took a look at the sloping sands and announced "They will come here!” He was referring to "Omaha Beach”. The beach was then transformed into three miles of lethal, bunker-protected arcs of fire, with seaside chalets converted into concrete strongpoints, with layers of barbed wire and mines. When Company A of the US 116th Regiment landed on Omaha Beach in D-Day’s first wave on 6th June 1944, it lost 96% of its effective strength. This was the beginning of the historic day that Landing on the Edge of Eternity narrates hour by hour—midnight to midnight—tracking German and American soldiers fighting across the beachhead. The Wehrmacht thought they had bludgeoned the Americans into submission yet by mid-afternoon, the American troops were ashore. Why were the casualties so grim, and how could the Germans have failed? Juxtaposing the American experience—pinned down, swamped by a rising tide, facing young Wehrmacht soldiers fighting desperately for their lives, Kershaw draws on eyewitness accounts, memories, letters, and post-combat reports to expose the true horrors of Omaha Beach. Landing on the Edge of Eternity is a dramatic historical ride through an amphibious landing that looked as though it might never succeed.

Eternity's Handmaiden is a fast paced espionage thriller taking the reader from one end of the timeline to another. No one ever escapes The Agency. Tuesday, 6 August 2085 1500 Archangel Her frowned deepened as she erased the message and then all traces that it had even made it to her. It was what she had feared: a rendezvous. They would be by this afternoon to pick her up, take her away from her pristine Alaskan solitude and into a world that she had sworn off of. Or so she had thought. She quickly learned long ago, much to her dismay, that one ever left the agency. Its insidious fingers, like the very talons of death, were always there, ready at any moment to pounce and dig themselves in, dragging one back into a world of intrigue and treachery, death and foulness that filled her mouth with such a taste of shit that she almost gagged. When she had left fifteen years ago, after forty years of faithful service, she had made it clear that she was done with it all, finished with walking in the shadows and killing in the darkness. But they had had other plans.

Aging at one-tenth the rate of the average human, Helena has never really understood her place in the mortal world. The first six decades of her life, she lived behind the walls of a convent, but after committing a horrendous crime, Helena is sent to a maximum security institute and spends another seven decades in solitary confinement. When she finally escapes her imprisonment, she has the physical looks of a thirteen-year-old girl but with a highly developed mental ability. Now on the run, Helena embarks on a journey to discover more about herself but finds her abilities are far more intricate than she could ever imagine, and dealing with mortal emotions is even more strenuous than managing her insatiable urge to hunt the evil that lurks around every corner. While seeking refuge at a southern plantation, she meets an eccentric psychic, who may hold the key to Helenas past, while unintentionally falling for an exotic mortal boy with a past just as mysterious as her own. Unable to run from her past or mortal emotions any longer, Helena must free herself not only from her captors but also from the people she truly cares about and decide whether to keep the one person who truly makes her happy or to let him go entirely.

The typical Italian teenager who lived a life of extraordinary virtue has captivated countless millions.

Carlo has quickly become a favorite patron in heaven, changing the lives of those who pray for his intercession. In this book, Antonia shares how Carlo desires to bring people to Jesus, like he did for her, helping her rekindle her faith: "This was his secret: that he had a constant, intimate relationship with Jesus.
