Contrast Brings Clarity

 




Does one size really fit all? As lovely as that might sound, people come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. It is therefore virtually impossible to design a clothing item that can truly fit all people. In reality, the ‘one size fits all’ ideal is actually designed to fit sizes within a specific range.

Much like clothing items, traditional education centers around a ‘one size fits all’ methodology. As a result, a single-core teaching model is used for all students, regardless of their individual learning style. And this applies to teaching styles as well as to student evaluations. So, as a parent, what do you do when your child does not fit into that one core teaching model?

In Contrast Brings Clarity, Teressa answers that very question. Her courageous response completely changed the course of her life — and that of her son. While she struggled to build a suitable educational experience for him, Teressa overcame countless obstacles and, in due course, answered the homeschooling call. Eventually, side by side, mother and son embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

Along her incredible journey, Teressa learned numerous strategies that helped her son succeed academically — and she would like to share those strategies with you.

Twisted Shores

 


Twisted Shores:

Book 1 of The Twisted Boeman Series


Alongside the quiet tides of Sydney, Nova Scotia, Bill Shapely is about to come face-to-face with a reckoning of his own reality. An Entity, this Boeman, bathed in the essence of pure evil, is about to make landfall in Bill's hometown, bringing a wave of havoc and terror across the forsaken city. One-by-one, Bill watches as this shadowy Entity slowly takes control of the city's inhabitants, seizing them under his distorted dominance, transforming them into twisted abominations, compelled to obey the Entity's malevolent commands, all while helpless to watch, trapped within the depths of their own consciousness.

Bill (and few friends made along the way) must escape the devastating wake of the Entity's terror, fighting for every inch of their lives in this jam-packed thriller, with action and horror running from cover-to-cover. Can Bill survive the Entity's wrath, or will he be consumed by darkness, forever forced to obey the Entity's twisted commands?

Twisted Shores is the first entry into The Twisted Boeman Series, and the debut novel of A. Ryan MacGibbon. Look out for Twisted in Time, the next entry in the series, and one that twists our understanding of time itself, and the horrors within.

The Prelude of Divine Wisdom in the Art of Aphorism

 

 




If Nietzsche had known that he would be laid bare and made a laughing stock, he would have fallen on bended knees and begun to pray...The Prelude of Divine Wisdom in the Art of Aphorism sets out a fascinating picture of the science of the soul on this point, in contrast to Nietzsche's merely corporeal wisdom, which Shiolashvili denounces as clever idiocy. This book plumbs the immeasurable depth of the spiritual aesthetics of the Christian religion and impels readers to meditate upon the eternal nature of thought as a phenomenology of spiritual beauty.

 Zura Shiolashvili has authored a brilliant masterpiece on spiritual aesthetics which has few rivals, if indeed any, within the worlds of theology or philosophy

Ron K. Bailey and Beverly W. Bailey

 


Ron K. Bailey and Beverly W. Bailey:

Adult Educators, Online Pioneers, Philanthropists, and Entrepreneurs


This historiography gave an objective view of how their roles in adult education made life better for their family, friends, employees, and students. It also tells the story of a Viet Nam Era Veteran who used his childhood work, Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, High School Sports, and newspaper carrier experiences to execute a strategic plan. A plan which started with his move from an area with limited education and employment opportunities. Finally, this is also a partial view into the life of Beverly and her role in helping Ron achieve his dream.

With that said, the author believes that it is time for the adult education field to learn more about Ron K. Bailey’s contribution to adult education and online learning. The steps he took to overcome many barriers to rise to the presidency of an accredited university, pioneer online learning initiatives for adult learners, and design programs for working adults are worth sharing with the adult education community. A cornerstone of his adult education programs was providing adult students easy access to technical careers, accredited degrees, or career-changing diplomas.

One factor in Ron’s success at Strayer College was Beverly W. Bailey’s support.

Pride

 




What do men have to be proud of? James has always known pride to be the biggest of sins, but going on a hunting safari might just be what he needed to experience real humility. A pride of lions is a force to be reckoned with. They are free, ferocious, feral. Forever committed to protecting one another. Perhaps humans should take notes.

When James ends up exposed and hunted in the wilderness, he decides he better start. In nature, there is no time to draw comparisons, worry about being masculine enough, or show off whatever power you may think you hold over others. When you hear a roar, you better start running. When you stumble, you better get back up. When the lion catches up to you, you better show you are not a threat.

That pride you thought was well-deserved? That superiority you sharpened like a knife? They’re not weapons you can use. They’re ropes that tie you down. As James forms a strong bond with the others in the lion camp, he realises society has always spun tales about men that no man can live up to.

Now that those rules don’t apply to him anymore, what is left of his identity? Can he roam free by putting behind that sin? And what does being a man truly even mean? James is only sure of one thing... When you enter a lion pride, you leave your own pride behind.
