I Am Coming, Volume 4 by Susan Davis and Sabrina De Muynck I Am Coming, Volume 4 by Susan Davis and Sabrina De Muynck Oct. 25, 2011 Free! 87584 words Sample 50%
Author bio:
This bio is about both Susan and Sabrina. Around 2007 or so, the LORD brought together two people from two different parts of the globe, one in the U.S. and the other in Belgium. Sabrina, Belgium, and I, Susan, U.S. became friends because I had posted some information about GOD online and I received an email from her about it. I was involved in church outreach at the time and she was having struggles in a very secular region of the world with outreach. I felt the LORD wanted me to support her as she and I both struggled with issues of outreach in our communities, thus began a wonderful friendship, but we did not know that GOD had bigger plans for our lives. Sabrina had the unique gift of being able to hear the voice of the LORD and I totally believed and supported her gift. Then recently she let me know that the LORD had a gift for me, I soon found out that the gift was also hearing the voice of the LORD, I started to write down letters HE gave me recently and I have been filling many notebook pages. The messages are very, very serious, the LORD told us we needed to get these messages out without delay–so here are the letters I received, you can read more about us at the bottom of this message. Please pass this message on to whomever you think needs to read this. Then I, Sabrina, asked the LORD what about your, Susan’s, letters: “I have spoken to her so she might learn to understand MY Voice. Send the word out about MY soon coming. Don’t be shy about a thing. The world must get penetrated with MY words. Everybody must know that I am coming very soon. Many do know, but are not ready. Therefore send out MY words! Send them out & don’t be shy about a thing.” Then the LORD said: “This refers also to you, me, Sabrina, MY daughter, don’t be shy about a thing any more. Do it soon!” Our personal background info: Hello. MY name is Sabrina. Let me introduce myself a bit. I became a Christian in 1992. God has done a huge job in me concerning emotional recovery. It has been an intense, difficult, painful and long journey, but it has led to an intense wonderful intimate friendship with God. God has been MY perfect counselor. He has treated me with His tender care, wisdom and especially a lot of patience. God’s heart’s desire was and is intimacy with His children and this also became MY heart’s desire. I learned to hunger and thirst for everything from Him. I learned to worship Him in all MY circumstances, no matter how I felt. I learned to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and I discovered that it was He who spoke to me in MY mind. I created a deep respect for Him and invited Him every day in MY prayers to fill and lead me completely. I did everything not to hurt Him. One day in 2006 God started talking to me about His soon coming. The Lord has also told me that the fact I always hear His Voice, is His gift of grace for me. Later I understood that this gift would also be used in the prophetic and encouraging field for other people. But the principal of this gift was, that He would use me in this end-time to speak about His soon coming. In April 2008 God told me it was important to spend much time with Him. This desire grew also in MY heart more and more and the Lord said to me that this was also His desire and His Holy Spirit’s. From then on I put a number of specific days for Him separately during the week. I filled these days with prayer, Bible reading, reading books, listening to good Bible studies on the internet, worship, etc. But it also happened that the Holy Spirit urged me to go to evangelize to someone. Heaven is too real for me, time too short and the exhortations of the Lord too strong for something else to do. On January 6 2010, I had a prophetic rapture dream. Though I was engaged much in these matters, I had not received many rapture dreams. This was MY second. The Lord explained that His Coming will be sudden, with great power, followed by immediate panic and chaos. On May 25 2010, God gave me an important dream of the bride. The explanation was this: “It is important for MY Bride to prepare herself. Behold, I come quickly and then there will be no more time to make up. MY Bride must prepare now. Be ready! I am ready. “God spoke in a serious tone! On July 9 2010, God gave me an encouraging word. Here is an excerpt from the letter: ‘MY dear daughter, write it down. Know that everything here is as good as ready. There is nothing stopping ME to come for MY bride. Everything is ready. The table for the eternal marriage stands ready. The angels are on post. Everyone is rejoiced & enthusiast! Oh what a joy it will be when I come for MY bride! I want you to encourage each other with these words. It is only the grace of MY Father who holds the sound of the trumpet. Millions of people are still lost.‘ In all those years, I have received many confirmations whenever the Holy Spirit talked to me, through the bible, books or other people’s testimony, preaching, teachings. MY only goal is to be completely obedient to Him. MY days are completely for Him, as I don’t go to work. I keep praying for everyone I witness to, take daily communion, just spent all MY time for & with the Lord. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, so you know MY walk with Him is serious. May the Lord bless you all!

Author bio:
I have an innate ability to turn confusion and inactivity in the lives of people into meaningful action that gets results. The common thread through all of my work is my desire to eliminate the barriers that keep most people from achieving their maximum potential. Sometimes our biggest barrier is our own perception, the way we think about ourselves, other people and the world. I realize that most people don't have 6 hours to read book, and that's why my short booklets speak to "the heart of the matter" the issues that deeply affect people's lives, in a unique way. Sometimes its humorous, other times it serious, but my goal is always to move people to positive action by getting them to think differently about this precious gift of time we have called "Life". My desire is for you to live a life of courageous choices, based on the understanding of the infinite value you possess and the infinite value of other people. Don't waste your gift.

When M dot Strange touched down in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007 for the world premiere of his first animated feature, We Are the Strange, thousands of Internet-obsessed teens and twentysomethings already knew more about the film than any buyer at the festival. For months M dot had been leaking footage and behind-the-scenes featurettes of the film to YouTube, and once he was accepted to Sundance he put up the trailer. It got 500,000 views in four days. Not bad for a guy who made a movie in his bedroom. With a love for 8-bit video games and stop-motion animation, the San Jose–based M dot has been honing his bizarre brand of stories since the late '90s. "I've never taken a film class or an art class ever," he says. "I learned everything through the Internet and reading books — the Internet was my film school." M dot is currently working on his next animated feature film - a 3d Samurai film entitled Heart String Marionette due for completion in Q4 2010. M dot Strange is also an electronic musician and rapper who has produced 19 albums in the past ten years... he also has a bike.

Travis by Lavinia Thompson Travis by Lavinia Thompson Dec. 21, 2011 Free! 3571 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I am a 22 year-old hippie who is just discovering what life really is. My heart is entrenched in novel writing. I am pursuing a dream of being a full-time novelist. It's the beginning of a journey that I have always dreamed of. I have risen from a dark childhood of domestic violence. I faced that monster in my closet and am now writing about it. I watched my mother be tortured for almost ten years. I stood before the remnants of the house her ex burned down in a drunken rage. I lived with the aftermaths and the damage it did in the years that followed. Now, I am chasing dreams and living my life to the fullest.Through my writing I want to be an advocate for domestic violence and child abuse, to speak out and be a voice. I am engaged to a wonderful man I met while working on the college newspaper. I am a journalism grad, a journalist, a sister younger and older, a daughter to a survivor of a mother and my angel daddy, a niece and a soon-to-be wife. I have been writing since I could put a pencil to paper it seems. My first writings were short stories rewriting fairy tales in ways I envisioned them to play out. Poetry was something that intrigued me in junior high school. An interest in Shakespeare came in high school when I attended an outreach school in grades 11 and 12. I was permitted to study on my own and got to drift around with different areas on top of the curriculum already in place. Shakespeare and forensics became the two main things I studied there. It was through Shakespeare's MacBeth and an essay assignment that I got interested in the witch hunts and trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, igniting the idea for the Spellbound series. In 2011, I set a goal. After graduating from college, I set out to publish two of my books. One is my poetry book about domestic violence and child abuse, "She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle" and the other is the first in a series, "Spellbound by Fire." My poetry book was self-published back in September and "Spellbound" was published in December. With that goal out of the way, I am setting my sights once again on my journalism career while trying to make it big with publishing my books.

Author bio:
Cathryn Taylor is the author of THE INNER CHILD WORKBOOK, "What To Do With Your Past When It Just Won't Go Away" which was published by Jeremy P. Tarcher, Inc. in 1991. Since that time it has been translated into Dutch and Spanish; is in its 33rd printing and can still be found on the bookshelves of Barnes and Noble, Borders and independent bookstores. With respect to books on this subject it is listed as the #1 bestseller out of 180 on www.bestbooks.com and #5 out of 390 on www.amazon.com. The Inner Child Workbook was one of five books released in the 1980’s which popularized the concept of the inner child. It is considered a classic in the inner child field and has positioned Cathryn as one of the field’s leading experts. Of those five authors, Cathryn is the only one who has continued to develop and apply this concept. She does so because she finds it to be invaluable both in her personal growth and in her professional work with others. She has been conducting workshops, lectures and classes for the past twenty-one years and has authored and recorded a series of lectures which cover topics on the different stages of recovery, issues of the children within and holistic healing. Cathryn’s approach is ever-evolving --her quest for transformation-- never-ending. BACKGROUND - Cathryn was licensed in the state of California in 1979 as a Marriage and Family Therapist, was certified in Chemical Dependency in 1985 and is now licensed in the state of Minnesota as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor and as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She is also trained as a Personal Life Coach, an EMDR Practitioner, an Akashic Records Consultant and a practitioner of Gary Craig’s Emotional Freedom Techniques. Cathryn weaves these modalities with her expertise of the inner child work in a very dynamic and expansive way. Her approach incorporates consultation and facilitation - assisting you in building the relationship between your Higher Self, your Adult self and your Children Within. Having obtained a BA in Sociology from Texas Christian University at Ft. Worth, Texas in 1970 and a MA in Psychology from John F. Kennedy University at Orinda, California in 1979, Cathryn has worked in the mental health field since 1971. In addition to having a successful private practice, she has also worked as a Family Therapist in Residential Treatment Centers, Inpatient and Outpatient Chemical Dependency Units and an Eating Disorders Clinic. She currently has a private practice in both the Twin Cities area and in San Rafael, California and works as a Chemical Dependency Counselor in the Carver County Matrix Methamphetamine Clinic in Chaska, Minnesota. Cathryn continues to be interviewed on the areas of her expertise in newspapers as well as on radio and television and presents at numerous Expositions around the country. She was also a featured columnist in THE EDGE, a mid-western, metaphysical, monthly newspaper for over eighteen months and co-hosted a radio talk show in San Francisco for over a year. A seasoned lecturer and facilitator, Cathryn is well known in the mental health community for her expertise. A LITERARY EVOLUTION OF CATHRYN’S APPROACH Each book can be ordered through Cathryn’s website which is www.JoinCathrynTaylor.com We all have one thing in common. We were all once children and as children we progressed through a series of developmental stages as we traveled into adulthood. The tasks mastered and unmastered follow us into adulthood and become the blueprint for our triumphs and challenges. The Inner Child Workbook, published in 1991 by Jeremy Tarcher, Inc., in its 33rd printing and translated into Dutch and Spanish, offers a map to explore your progression. Presented as a six-step model systematically applied to each developmental stage, this workbook guides you back through your childhood inviting you to identify the children within – divine and wounded. Once there, you are provided with a step-by-step process which assists you in empowering your adult self and connecting with your Higher Source and Higher Self. These partnerships equip you to resolve old hurts, redesign outdated belief systems and reclaim, once and for all, the magnificent passion of the child-infused divinity within you. Every childhood experience holds within it the seeds of the patterns from which your personality can draw in order to work with the tasks of your Soul. Your childhood experiences provide the canvas from which you work. They provide context. As you travel through childhood and gather your bumps, falls and achievements, you activate the ancient wisdom held in the DNA held in every cell within your physical form. These experiences provide the portal of entry into the tasks of your Soul. They hold the vibrational frequency which resonates with the “energetic disturbances” of the wounds in your Soul’s history. Once detected, you can follow the threads of these vibrations back in time for the neutralization which allow transformation, resolution and reunion. Which Lifetime Is This Anyway, offers a detailed description of these concepts, the author’s personal story of her first “multidimensional bleed through and a Ten-Step formula which guides you through this process. Your body of today holds the “energetic disturbance” which then, as Gary Craig has so brilliantly put together, holds this anomaly until it is rectified and resolved. This disturbance is held in the etheric body, as well as within the DNA of every cell within your physical form. Often disturbances are expressed in compulsive or addictive behaviors which discharge the energy but prohibit you from learning how to cope with and resolve the energetic patterns of the original situation. Life Beyond Confusion and Fear presents a Six-Step Cycle of Addictions and Recovery with accompanying worksheets and journal experiences. Each exercise invites you to track the origin of your behavior, identify the inner child who holds the blueprint of that behavior and offers viable direction for the resolution of that behavior. Your body does not lie. It holds the truth of all of your unresolved patterns. SOUL STEPS is a 90-day program which invites you to integrate your body, mind, heart and soul through what Taylor calls “conscious aerobic exercise.” This program uses your body as the vehicle for transformation. It engages your mind which benefits from understanding the higher purpose of your experiences. This understanding allows your ego to surrender to the transformative process with humility and honor. Its need is met by consulting with the wisdom from the unseen in any way you choose. Your Soul or Spirit holds the essence of your imprint from Source -- fluid, yet dense enough to hold an impression. It carries your energetic vibration which then out pictures and manifests in the events you attract into your life. The heart of your divine Inner Child holds the magic of this essence and your wounded Inner Child holds the disturbances which provide the opportunity for growth. Meditative exercise provides the viable platform to work with all of these aspects simultaneously. It offers a way to “take a soul step” with your higher teachers, higher self and your earthly body -- a way to engage with your inner child and offer him or her healing. Today, we draw on the wisdom being brought to us through Esther Hicks and the Teachings of Abraham and by accessing the Records of the Soul held in the Akashic field. Our mind quiets when it has a context for our pain. It can then categorize our experience and make some sense of the patterns of our behavior and the choices we make in life. This understanding begins to work. We can send out intentions out to the Universe and be confident our dreams will manifest. Share the Gift invites you to teach your inner child the laws of the Universe and neutralize his or her fears with the techniques of the energy therapy of the Meridian Tapping Techniques (which include EFT). The modality presented equips you with the tools to attract that which you desire and deserve. This four-part E book applies this approach to attracting abundance, right livelihood, relationships and reciprocal partnerships. Your heart holds the vibration of your connection to your Soul. Its vehicle is emotion. It is no coincidence that the human heart is what keeps the body alive and that it has become the expression for love and pain… “…Sometimes my heart feels too small…”“…My heart is shattered…it is broken and in need of repair…” Loss provides an avenue to access the vibration of pain and transmute it to joy and bliss. This story was inspired by Cathryn’s personal loss of, first her pet, and then, nine months later, her Mother. Much to her surprise Cathryn found that by combining her expertise on the inner child with the Energy Therapy of Meridian Tapping Techniques (which includes Gary Craig’s Emotional Freedom Techniques) she was able to pre-grieve and hold the vibration of compassion in her heart prior to, during and after this loss. Beyond Compassion inspires readers to do the same. Testimonials from 4-week Class presented at Unity of the Valley Church in Savage, Minnesota– Summer of 2007 A couple days after taking Cathryn's class on abundance, I was mowing grass in a low area sometimes filled with water and to my amazement a $20 bill came spitting out the side of my mulcher mower. WOW was I surprised, abundance was flowing into my life! Thanks Cathryn this was a great learning experience! Deanna R. Taking Cathryn's class gave me deeper insight to why I was struggling to manifest what I wanted in certain areas of my life. I have applied the EFT techniques she taught us and this has helped not only neutralize the energy of my inner child, but also give me more insight into her wounds, feel great compassion for her when the wound comes up, and to give her what she needs from me to feel safe and loved. A huge piece for me was to become more aware of when my inner child's issues were triggered and to not "collapse" into the energy field of the wound, but to see it for what it is - become the observer and then to neutralize it, give her what she needs and move on. Terese M. Teach Your Inner Child the Magic of "The Secret" Workshop was very enlightening to me. I learned techniques and new ways to heal the inner children within me. Cathryn Taylor is a very powerful speaker and her presentation of the materials was easy and fun. I would recommend this workshop to anyone that wants to improve their present day situations. Kathy M. Testimonials from participants who have attended Cathryn’s 2007 Series – a monthly seminar offered at Echo Bodine’s Center in Minneapolis I cannot thank Cathryn enough for her very special gifts that she brings to this world and to my life. Upon my father’s death in October 2006, the dysfunctional cracks in my family structure became huge chasms between my six siblings. My soul was in pain and my Higher Power and Guides lead me to Cathryn Taylor's monthly Inner-Child workshops. I knew through my 17 years of sobriety and recovery that the inner-child has needed to be healed. It wasn't until I started working with Cathryn that I am finally starting to heal on a new dimension -a much more spiritual level. She has lead me through the Inner-child developmental stages and healing, introduced me to a whole new beautiful world through the teachings of Abraham, and EFT. Teresa S. Cathryn’s Monthly Seminars during this 2007 Series have kept me sane and on a path of recovery and spiritual enhancement. Never before did I realize that who stood in my way of getting what I wanted was merely this little one inside who needed my attention and love. Her recent addition of the EFT tapings and showing the Abraham DVD’s has added spice to her already delicious recipe of change. Jennifer T.

Author bio:
Brian K. Nash was born in 1961 and grew up on a farm in Kansas. Blind from birth, he enjoyed the loving support of his parents and five siblings, who kept him active exploring the woods and riding horses. The many stories they told him and read to him fostered his love of fiction. He began composing his own fiction for children when his daughter Evelyn was small. He edited the school newspaper at the Kansas School for the Blind. Later on, he received computer training and became an adaptive technician, teaching other blind people to use a computer. He has extensive public speaking experience, especially to groups of school children, seeking to educate others regarding blindness and the capabilities of the blind. Henrietta of Valley View Farm is the first of Brian's several books for children that are being published by Smashwords. His lively, entertaining stories are set in a fictional place that has a lot in common with the locales he knew and loved as a child. The animals - chickens, cats, dogs, horses, birds, frogs, and many more - can talk to each other, and are among the most vivid of the many characters. They often have much to teach their human friends as they work together to overcome whatever challenges are thrown at them. Adventure abounds, and friendship always triumphs in the end.
