The Birth: "No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead."

Weddings have come a long way since the first etiquette books were written. Today families come in such variety that more and more couples are sensibly throwing etiquette to the wind and relying instead on their own common sense.

You'll find that one of your responsibilities - apart from walking your daughter down the aisle and making a speech - is ensuring that the chaos of wedding details, and any family feuds or financial stress, don't ultimately get in the way of making your daughter's wedding day the happiest time in her life. This will be a big day for you, too, with the speech playing an important part in the proceedings. You'll want to get it just right so that you speak from the heart but enliven sentiment with humour, and your speech is remembered for years to come - for all the right reasons. This book is packed with valuable tips and advice about: - Conveying just the right messages to your daughter and her husband-to-be - Understanding what is traditionally expected of you - Keeping everyone calm and defusing any pre-wedding tensions and conflicts - Making a memorable speech - Helping everyone have a great time!

A Journey of Fear and Joy is the story of one man’s journey to the church of the New Testament. Having been brought up in the Church of Christ (a part of the Campbell-Stone Restoration Movement), he believed his church was the original first-century church restored. But while investigating the history of the Lord’s church, he discovered a number of inconsistencies in the beliefs and practices of the present-day “restored” church with the church of the first century. This book presents a summary of his findings and the startling conclusions he reached in his rediscovery of the church we read about in the New Testament. It is the tale of a journey that brought the author both much fear and great joy. Readers may be surprised at his conclusions, but no more surprised than he when he learned that the original church had been with us all along, the faith having been maintained in historical continuity throughout the centuries by the Eastern Orthodox Church. This second edition incorporates both the original book first published in 2004, and also the companion volume Apologia from 2014 that helped expand upon the original and included a number of questions and answers stemming from the first book.

The new Devotion to the Divine Heart of God the Father Encompassing All Hearts contains the consecration (Seal) prayer to the Father for our end times. Vital details about the Seal of the Father, as in the Book of Revelation in Sacred Scripture, are explained and the desires of the Father's Divine Heart are set forth. The formal prayer format for cenacles of worship to God the Father, that He has requested be held by all individuals, families, communities and societies is provided. The Father has requested these cenacles of prayer, so that the world can return to live in His Divine Will and the era of peace can ensue on earth. Details of the icon that the Father has instructed be made in His honor and enshrined are given. Selected revelations from God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Michael during 2010-2011, that are the basis for this new devotion, are included.

As a child, author Olivia S. Benson was puzzled by her relationship with her father and his absence in her life. It took many years and much soul searching for her to understand her life experiences and how profoundly his absence affected her. Benson finally solved the puzzle when she began to understand the nature of the Universe: what GEFS—God, Energy, Force, Spirit—really was and how her suffering could serve for good in her life. In For the Love of My Father, she journeys through some of the gut-wrenching childhood experiences that created a perfect storm of circumstances, leaving gaping holes in her Soul. Benson shares the keys to her healing, discussing how important it is for women to heal themselves so they can take their rightful place in the world. Benson offers hope, allowing women to see, that despite how difficult it can be to grow up without a father, they can be made whole. For the Love of My Father addresses men as well, assisting them in supporting women while on the healing journey to overcome the absence of a father. It also helps men who are absent fathers by providing insight, perspective on their role, and the impact their absence has in their daughter’s life.
