When the US government gets wind, they want it shut down immediately, or so they say.

When she gets there, she plans to give the French scientists a heads up.

The next he’s cold. Personally, I’m feeling conflicted too. Not just about him, but many things: the mission to hell, the recent coven heist and, most of all, what the heist revealed.

He is absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn't fantasize about. Other than being my boss, he's too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that, I shouldn't think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he whispered my name in the dark. But I can resist him. Mainly because he can't stand me, and he's the kind of boss who makes me think about murder on a daily basis. That's until he shows me his softer side and ignoring my need for him becomes impossible.

One day I’m raiding tombs to buy my freedom from the man who has controlled me for years. The next, I’m caught and thrown into an Egyptian prison, only to be rescued by a vampire. Yes, a vampire.

The 12 reflections in this audiobook follow the rhythms of the winter season, helping you rediscover the beauty of a balanced, God-centered life.

Each member’s ongoing journey to Christian maturity (that’s the simplest way to summarize what we mean by the phrase “integral formation” - the ongoing pilgrimage of faith that gradually leads us to greater and greater intimacy with God, apostolic fruitfulness, and personal fulfillment) is not only an instrument that enables us to evangelize better, the way training enhances an athlete’s performance during the actual competition.

This book explores the possible relationship between mental illness and spirituality. As a mental consumer myself, I recount my experiences from the onset of my mental illness to the present time, including my hallucinations and delusions, fantasy stories, and ultimately, contacts with I believe to be the spiritual world.
