The Heart of Shattered Time: The Asoju of Yemaya Asopo by Kyrja Price verified one hour ago

Using the mysterious Mimo Stone in the depths of the sea in a desperate attempt to discover how she might help to send the hidden child, Iyika, to the long-ago past, so that the malicious spirits known as the Ajogun would be unable to use the child to take physical form within the Àye - realms of the living - R'ya, herself, was taken to the long-ago past. There, she met a much younger version of Alagbato, the first Olori Guardian of the seven Okin Stones, who told her she must place something of value she had possessed before being named as the Asoju of Yemaya into a container filled with water from the depths of the sea. She chose the three seashells remaining from a necklace she had once made while living alone on the seashore many years ago. Eshu, the Spirit of the Crossroads, later gave these seashells to Idaji to ensure that R'ya would not be sent to the long-ago past when Iyika, the hidden child, was taken there by those who had gathered together to make this task possible. But when the Spirit of the Crossroads gave the seashells to Idaji, he did not anticipate that, in the moment of transition between the present time to the long-ago past, the adult version of Iyika would call R'ya to a place outside of time. Nor did those who made it possible for the child to be taken to the long-ago past know that Idaji had a shade of an Ajogun within him. Because Idaji had the shade within him, and because he was yet holding one of R'ya's seashells when she was taken to the long-ago past, so that she would be anchored to the present, time shattered - creating chaos throughout the Butaka. Although R'ya remained in the present time, Idaji was sent to a time one hundred years in the past. In order to restore time to its natural course, Olokun, the Spirit of the Depths, tells Idaji he must accompany a young man by the name of Asopo - who has just been named as the Asoju of Yemaya - to complete his Ibukun Okin journey to restore the seven Okin Stones throughout the Butaka. ...

Finding Genius: Understanding Cancer: 30 Questions, 70 Geniuses, 200+ Amazing Insights by Richard Jacobs (11 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. What you're about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first - I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I'm not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it's a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you'll be surprised by what you can learn in a year's time.

Roberta und der ägyptische Mumiendelphin (German Edition) by E. Dence (85 Reviews)    Price verified 15 hours ago

Was haben Delphinkinder und Menschenkinder gemeinsam? Beide mögen es nicht, aus ihrer gewohnten Umgebung herausgerissen zu werden. Als Roberta mit ihren Eltern wegen eines Siedlungsbauprojekts umziehen muss, ist ihre Welt nicht mehr in Ordnung. Am meisten stört sie, dass sie ihren besten Freund zurücklassen muss. In der neuen Umgebung hat Roberta nur Erwachsene in ihrem Umfeld und diese haben leider ziemlich wenig Zeit für Roberta. Natürlich findet sie auch hier neue Freunde, aber sie trauert ihrem besten Freund dennoch nach. Zum Glück gibt es dort keine Schule und Roberta kommt vor Schulbeginn wieder zurück in die alte Siedlung. Doch alles hat sich verändert. Die Siedlung und sogar ihr altes Höhlenabteil scheinen geschrumpft zu sein und ihr bester Freund ist auch nicht so, wie sie es erwartet hat. Auch die Schule wird problematisch, denn Roberta hat sich von ihren Freunden im Bauprojekt hauptsächlich Eigenschaften zu eigen gemacht, die für einen Delphin ihres Alters vielleicht unpassend sind. Ihr bester Freund macht ihr durch seine Mentalität noch zusätzlich jede Menge Sorgen, aber sind ihre Sorgen auch gerechtfertigt? Während Roberta aus alter Gewohnheit hauptsächlich in der heimischen Höhle lernt und trainiert, glänzt ihr bester Freund schon seit Jahren in der Siedlung mit Abwesenheit. Man weiß nur, dass er zufriedener wirkt, seit Roberta wieder da ist. Als die Haie frecher werden und nicht nur den Strand, sondern auch die Delphinsiedlung bedrohen, beginnen sich auch gleichzeitig ein paar Geheimnisse zu lüften. Werden Roberta und Ignazius wieder zusammenfinden? Die Vorzeichen sind nicht sehr günstig, denn zu allem Überfluss beginnt bei den Jungdelphinen gerade auch noch die Pubertät. Dieses eBook enthält für Kinder, Jugendliche und jung Gebliebene auch einige Überraschungen. Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Lesen.

Rebirthing Faith: Portrait of a Resilient Heart (Woman of Valor) by D.M. Griffin (1 Review)    Price verified 12 hours ago

She was just an ordinary girl living in the small village of Ramah during the time of the judges. Her people had strayed far from pure devotion to God. Religious acts of duty became the doorway through which the corruption of the priestly line of Levi had begun. With everyone doing right in their own eyes, how long before Hannah's people experienced the full wrath of God for their continued disobedience? As a woman, Hannah doubted if she could ever make a difference for God. She settled her heart on marriage and family as was the custom of her day. Yet, a dream sparked hope inside of her that one day she would be the mother of a great new leader in Israel - a man who would lead God's people back to the heart of devoted worship. When Hannah became betrothed to Elkanah, she thought her prophetic dreams would come to pass. Plagued by barrenness, tormented by her husband's wavering faith, and constantly provoked by a second wife in the household, Hannah struggled to maintain her belief that things would turn out as God had shown her. How does a woman walk the treacherous path of forgiveness, holding onto a thin thread of faith when everything, including time, seems to work against her? Would Hannah rise above her present suffering to root her faith in God and not herself? Would she resist taking matters into her own hands when everyone around seemed to be doing just that?
