My name is Richard Silva, I'm a young Brazilian writer(17) who just published their first book. Since I was a kid I wrote things, but for the first time, I made something I am going to share with the world. Currently, I'm finishing Brazilian integral high school, which in other words, wastes 9 hours of my day with mostly nothing. It's very stressful, and leaves me with not much appropriate time for actually writing quality content, so you might imagine how many reviews this book had to get before I felt like I was satisfied.

I would like to encourage you to read my book, and share your thoughts on it, of course, it's me first one, so constructive criticism is very welcomed. My desire is to be able to make a living out of my art, and when reading this book, you are helping me make this dream possible :)

And please, if you did enjoy it(even if it's a little bit), leave me a review on google play saying how much you like it, and why you like it. As for you, fellow Brazilians, a version in Portuguese is coming soon!

Introduction:

In the turbulent year of 918, the kingdom of East Fränkia stands at the precipice of chaos. Good King Könrad's imminent demise looms large, casting a shadow over a realm torn apart by a bitter civil war. As the kingdom clamors for stability, the urgent question of succession echoes through the halls of power. In this riveting saga, the fate of East Fränkia hangs in the balance, with the nobility vying for control and hidden machinations threatening to plunge the realm into further disarray.

Act 1: The Rebellion's Echo

Duke Heinrich of Säxony, once a rebel himself, emerges as a prominent figure in the race for succession. The kingdom watches with bated breath as he navigates the treacherous waters of politics, his past raising both suspicion and hope. Can a former insurgent transform into the unifying leader that East Fränkia desperately needs? As whispers of support and dissent swirl around him, the stage is set for a dramatic power play that will determine the fate of a fractured realm.

Act 2: Shadows of Ambition

Within the corridors of power, malevolent schemes weave through the fabric of loyalty and betrayal. Unseen schemers with wicked motives pull strings from the shadows, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding drama. As the contenders for the throne maneuver for advantage, the true architects of East Fränkia's destiny remain hidden, their influence shaping the kingdom's course in ways unimaginable.

Act 3: Clash of Faiths

In this crucible of power, the clash between Christian priests and Nørse mystics intensifies. The question of divine guidance looms large as both factions seek to shape the destiny of East Fränkia. Will the realm be guided by the sanctity of Christian faith or the mysticism of ancient Norse beliefs? The answer to this question holds the key to the very soul of the kingdom.

Conclusion:

As East Fränkia stands at the crossroads of history, the saga of By Sword & Blood unfolds with gripping intensity. The year 918 becomes a crucible of ambition, loyalty, and treachery. Who will ascend the throne and lead the fractured kingdom towards unity? Only time will reveal the intricate tapestry of destiny woven by sword and blood in the heart of East Fränkia.

In the realm of contemporary theological discourse, a spirited debate unfolds, igniting a clash of ideas that bridges the ancient with the postmodern. Black Liberation Theology, once a voice in the theological wilderness, has experienced a revival in postmodern America, challenging traditional perspectives on the inspiration and authority of Scripture. Renowned theologians such as Karl Barth, James Cone, Robert McAfee Brown, and J. Deotis Roberts have breathed new life into age-old conversations of faith. This resurgence is not confined to theological texts; it has transcended the pulpit and reached the hearts of those seeking justice, identity, and social change. Liberation theology's concepts have found resonance in political, social, and economic discussions, forging connections between postmodern society and the Church. For many, the words of these theologians have become synonymous with a modern biblical truth, a truth that questions and adapts. However, at its core, the debate centers on whether Scripture is "inspired" only through direct divine encounters, potentially redefining the propositional essence of Scripture. Amidst this theological tempest, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 emerges as a battleground, scrutinized from various angles. The debate continues, guided by an author who presents the topic with clarity and charm. As we explore this complex landscape, faith and interpretation intersect, shaping the future of theology and understanding in a rapidly changing world. This book invites readers into a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation, a journey through the labyrinth of contemporary theological dialogue.

This book teaches about Godly love from the Holy Scriptures. God has fully enabled His children to express and in fact, be love (agapē) just as He is love. The word love has been made common in our culture. I discuss by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, the importance of elevating this word to its very special place. This love should only be used in reference to God and other people. I put forth and discuss the three major components of this special, exceptionally important, and highest love.

Unraveling Foundations

"They Call Her Sofia" invites readers on a poignant journey through the life of Sofia Vega. Her story begins in the embrace of her first love, a connection so profound it seemed unbreakable. Yet, as time unfurled, the fissures in their once-solid marriage began to appear, leaving Sofia adrift amidst a storm of unfamiliar emotions.

Navigating New Waters

Stepping tentatively into the dating world, Sofia encountered a diverse cast of characters, each offering a different facet of human connection. Among them, one man stood out, capturing her heart and imagination. However, hidden beneath the surface was a web of deceit that left Sofia with a bitter taste of betrayal. Determined never to be ensnared again, she vowed to master the art of playing by her own rules.

The Transformation

As she honed this newfound skill, a transformation swept over Sofia. Men vied for her attention, their desires burning like a flame, willing to go to any lengths to claim her as their own. Yet, amidst this newfound allure, Sofia paused, reflecting on the echoes of past relationships. It was in this moment of introspection that she realized the power of her own agency.

A Journey Inward

Retreating from the tumultuous dating scene, Sofia embarked on a journey of self-discovery. She delved into the depths of her own soul, seeking to understand the intricate layers that defined her essence. Through this process, she unearthed a reservoir of strength and self-worth that had long lain dormant, waiting for her to recognize its presence.

Filling Her Own Cup

It was in the quiet moments of solitude that Sofia learned to fill her own cup. She discovered the joy of nurturing her own passions, of finding solace in her own company. No longer reliant on external validation, Sofia's sense of self blossomed into a radiant force, illuminating the path ahead.

The Unveiling

In the end, they called her Sofia not because of the men who sought her, but for the indomitable spirit that now resided within her. Her journey was not one of finding love in others, but of uncovering the boundless reservoir of love that dwelled within herself.

A Testament to Resilience

Through trials and tribulations, heartaches, and triumphs, Sofia Vega emerged as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Her story serves as a beacon of inspiration for those navigating their own tumultuous seas of self-discovery, reminding us all that the truest and most enduring love is the one we cultivate for ourselves.

Ripples of Time is Jon-Jamal Turner's story about life as a Panther activist. It is also an unflinching examination of America's history, including how black bodies have been brutalized and policed tracing an unbroken line between the slave era and the present-day conditions. This book will expose the disinformation campaign waged by the 16th century European Enlightenment Thinkers against African people in order to justify slavery. This book will show how yesterday's injustices and racist tropes are still with us, albeit in a new form: slaves were economically exploited on plantations that were controlled by slave patrollers. Now we have neo-slavery, in which urban ghettos have replaced the plantations and police officers replaced the slave patrollers. The police still restrict (contain and control) the movements of African Americans and mete out physical abuse (e.g. George Floyd) to prop up an economic system that has white supremacy at its heart.

Little has changed; yesterday is today in Ripples of Time. While Trump's largely white supporters were able to enter the Capitol building with minimal resistance, lawful Black Lives Matter activists were met with the force of National Guard soldiers during protests over the death of George Floyd. Police brutalizing African Americans while white supremacists undermine democracy is nothing new. It's as American as apple pie. It is simply history repeating itself. The current generation of Black Lives Matter activists are facing the same issues we Panthers faced decades earlier, albeit to a lesser degree.

The third part of Ripples of Time demonstrates how slavery hasn't gone away; but instead manifests itself in the form of corporate fascism Trumpian style, which maintains the same old wealth inequalities and is promoted by ultra-right-wing corporations like Koch Industries and their political hacks. It is also a reminder that Trump still has a firm grip on the Republican Party and could come back in 2024. If he does and he is re-elected, American Democracy will no longer exist. He will finish the job he did not complete in his first term. Remember, Hitler lost his political power and credibility and served ten months of a five-year prison sentence for high treason but started his ascent to power in 1927, culminating in his election as Chancellor in 1933. We must remain vigilant and never allow this tyrant and racist named Donald Trump to occupy the White House again. We only have history to remind us how catastrophic the outcome was when Hitler was given a second chance.

Three old friends take a vacation together once a year. This year they go to Newport, RI so Bernice, the retired photographer, can take pictures of the 1890-1900s mansions built by multimillions for a travel magazine. While there, Lucille, the retired English teacher, swears she saw a ghost. Kathleen, the retired pastor, volunteers at a center aiding pregnant teens and women in Texas. Before and after the trip she helps a teen (age 16) escape from a Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints cult. The teen, Rebecca, was sent to Texas to live with an aunt. The grandparents who sent her did not know the aunt was now the third wife of a polygamist. There is no easy escape for Rebecca, who was forced to be wife #4 in the family, until she sneaks into the center and asks for help. Kathleen helps her and is soon threatened by the polygamist and his "wives." Soon a younger girl comes to the center looking for Rebecca and an escape plan. The girl says that her father and mothers have said the center kidnapped Rebecca. Pastor Kathleen says they did not "kidnap" her. The girl asks if they will kidnap her and help her escape. They do. As the friends work together with Kathleen, Bernice begins showing signs of dementia, which must be addressed.

This Book delves into my perspective on the fourfold mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasizing its core values of love and obedience to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This mission is deeply connected to the life and Atonement of Jesus. Originally, it began as a threefold mission, as endorsed by President Spencer W. Kimball in 1981. This threefold mission encompassed proclaiming the gospel, perfecting the saints, and redeeming the dead. President Kimball beautifully expressed, "All three are part of one work—to assist our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, in their grand and glorious mission to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). (See Ensign, May 1981, p. 5). Church members serve as instruments in the hands of God, actively contributing to the achievement of this grand and glorious mission.
