To Hear His Voice: Poem and Devotional Book

by Catherine Posey

Life is full of challenges, troubles, heartaches, and fears—but there is no reason for us to endure bearing these burdens on our own. Not only did Jesus Christ die for our sins—so we may have everlasting life with Him—but He desires that we follow Him, so that we can hear His voice. When life gets hard, we have a Shepherd, our Saviour Jesus Christ, who gives us comfort. When we don't know which direction to turn, He guides us down the right path. When we feel weak and overwhelmed, He strengthens... more

I Do Heroin On The Train Line So You Don’t Have To: A Hitchhiker’s Guide To My Galaxie

by Melodie Yvonne

Not a lot of people know that I ran away from home at 16. And I never went back. Some days I don’t know how I’ve made it this far... and then I remember maybe I haven’t made it. It’s been a very long life, and I’ve lived through and done some rough things that I’d never wish on anyone. I’m lucky the people I hurt have been able to forgive me, and that through it all I’m not dead. This is a project that looks back on the time I spent living on the streets from town to town and place to place as w... more

Scribbles of the mind

by Elie Azar

This book is for all the people who found themselves unable to share their emotional burdens with the people they care about. To the people that weren’t able to give justice to their feelings, and to the fire running through their veins. To the ones that got so insecure, that the words of those around them became the bricks of the walls they built around themselves. I hope my book will make anyone who reads it feel less alone, less isolated and okay that they are unable to set free the chaos goi... more

Always take the hand and walk to the Light.

Nature and Lovers

by Dominique Webb MA

Literary flare passions from the roots of rejuvenation with regeneration as side, which, rather than being supernaturally constituted, shows semantic drift towards a somatic of colloquial derivations. For that brush of jacket collars in the side street you thigh on waste whilst twisting to the pub, for the old bars of money that cool your hips for auditory sprinkles songs drumming the tune of your cognitive motor to transmute chemistry up from your cells. In the dialects and runs from payment ro... more

We all have felt these at some point in our lives. For me to let you enjoy more, there will be a third collection of poetry coming soon.

The Love Archetype

by Javier Angola

Literature and philosophy what are these magical fantasies, so superior and everlasting. Without love or being loved what could be its discipline. Everything has roots for such a strong word, and what are roots if they don't create something new and particular, something like a whole new topic or maybe a story, a tale, whatever you want to call it. But if we look deeper we also know we can name it like most things around us, we want to feel that patronage that ownership, possession; we want it a... more
