From Terror To Temptation

Scrambling to make sense of Rita Bennington's self-immolation, Carissa and Hank join forces to uncover the dark and twisted secret of Rita's involvement with ISIS.Because Rita had begun speaking in code months before her suicide, they learn that Rita was being recruited by ISIS and, according to the rules of a very deadly game, every aspect of her life was monitored. The way forward becomes more ominous when it appears to Hank and Carissa that Rita was actually a recruiter in her own right. Was she really the stone-cold person portrayed by her communications? A girl who condoned the murder of her own father and chose to martyr herself for ISIS? Or was her suicide a cover-up?

Trust or run? The wrong decision will be deadly. After losing three loved ones, Detective Dominic Rossi is an expert at keeping his distance from all things female—that is until he meets Tessa Redman, a woman who seems mighty troubled. She's definitely hiding something from him, but that only brings out his need to protect even more. When a hot looking detective begins snooping around Tessa's bar, she panics, believing he's there on behalf of her ex-husband—a cop on the take who she turned in—a man who swore he'd kill her. But Dom's random tenderness awakens something deep inside her, and while he doesn’t seem anything like her ex, the guy is a cop—and a rich one at that. Only after several of her patrons are murdered and her father is killed is she forced to decide: trust Dominic or run for her life?

Juniper Berry's parents are the most beloved actor and actress in the world—but Juniper can't help but feel they haven't been quite right lately. And she and her friend Giles are determined to find out why. On a cold and rainy night, Juniper follows her parents as they sneak out of the house and enter the woods. What she discovers is an underworld filled with contradictions: one that is terrifying and enticing, lorded over by a creature both sinister and seductive, who can sell you all the world's secrets bound in a balloon. For the first time, Juniper and Giles have a choice to make. And it will be up to them to confront their own fears in order to save the ones who couldn't. M.P. Kozlowsky's debut is a modern-day fairy tale of terror, temptation, and ways in which it is our choices that make us who we are.

This book examines Swedenborg's spiritual experiences of Heaven and Hell from an esoteric perspective as a feeling, the language of angels and spirits. To perceive this spiritual feeling, begins the regeneration process that develops an inner perception of celestial love, as spiritual light. When we can perceive love and light as a feeling as it expresses through our physical senses, we can start to affect our own psycho-spiritual development to evolve from a sensual to a spiritual feeling of conjugial love. As we examine love and light as a spiritual feeling through heaven and hell, we too begin to experience a deeper spiritual awareness, which can initiate a personal communication with the Divine, as a Conjugial Love experience. With creative self-expression as our goal, we can take regeneration into our own hands to speed-up our own evolution, while we transmute the forces that block the spiritual feeling of the Brotherhood of Mankind, and thereby, together, manifest the feeling of Heaven on Earth.

It was Owen's earnest regard that his readers should be brought into a condition of safety against the wiles of the devil, to break the force of his warnings and entreaties by ingenious speculations and irrelevant learning. Not merely in the warm appeals interspersed with his expositions, but in the patient care with which no nook of the heart is left unsearched, does the deep solicitude of Owen for the spiritual welfare of his readers appear. To one who reads the treatise in the spirit with which the author wrote it, --simply that he may judge his own heart, and know what temptation means, and be fully on his guard against it
