Book: Rainbow In The Dark: The Autobiography - Hardcover
-Titulo Original : Rainbow In The Dark: The Autobiography-Fabricante : Permuted Press-Descripcion Original: Product Description Instant National Bestseller The long-awaited autobiography by one of heavy metal s most revered icons, treasured vocalists, and front man for three legendary bands Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio. Prior to his tragic death in 2010, Ronnie James Dio had been writing his autobiography, looking back on the remarkable life that led him from his hometown in upstate New York to the biggest stages in the world, including the arena that represented the pinnacle of success to him Madison Square Garden, where this book begins and ends. As Ronnie contemplates the achievement of a dream, he reflects on the key aspects that coalesced into this moment the close gang of friends that gave him his start in music, playing parties, bars, frats, and clubs; the sudden transition that moved him to the microphone and changed his life forever; the luck that led to the birth of Rainbow and a productive but difficult collaboration with Ritchie Blackmore; the chance meeting that made him the second singer of Black Sabbath, taking them to new levels of success; the surprisingly tender story behind the birth of the Devil Horns, the lasting symbol of heavy metal; his marriage to Wendy, which stabilized his life, and the huge bet they placed together to launch the most successful endeavor of his career...his own band, Dio. Everything is described in great detail and in the frankest terms, from his fallout with Blackmore, to the drugs that derailed the resurrection of Black Sabbath, to the personality clashes that frayed each band. Written with longtime friend of thirty years and esteemed music writer, Mick Wall, who took up the mantle after Ronnie s passing, Rainbow in the Dark is a frank, startling, often hilarious, sometimes sad testament to dedication and ambition, filled with moving coming-of-age tales, glorious stories of excess, and candid recollections of what really happened backstage, at the hotel, in the studio, and back home behind closed doors far away from the road. (Black and white photos throughout plus an 8-page 4-color photo insert.) About the Author Ronnie James Dio was the most acclaimed heavy metal singer of his generation, and the only rock star to achieve multi-platinum success in not one, but three bands: Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio. For Tenacious D s Jack Black, Dio was the Pavarotti of heavy metal. For Metallica s Lars Ulrich, Dio was one of the main reasons I made it onto the stage... And for heavy metal fans all over the world, there were three words that summed him up: Dio is God. He died in 2010. Mick Wall is one of the world s best-known music journalists. His work has appeared in Classic Rock, Mojo, The Times, and a variety of other publications. His books include the international bestsellers When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin and Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life and Death of Jimi Hendrix. He has also presented and produced award-winning TV and radio documentaries. He lives in England. Wendy Dio is the President and Owner of Niji Management. Over the past thirty years, she has been involved in many aspects of the music business, receiving awards from Performance and Pollstar for stage set design and concert video production, along with serving as executive producer on numerous gold and platinum albums. In 2010, she co-founded the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, which has raised over $2 million for research, education, and early detection screenings... -

Book: Slow Brewing Tea, Randy Loubier - Paperback
-Titulo Original : Slow Brewing Tea-Fabricante : Randy Loubier-Descripcion Original: Insightful, moving, and at times deeply profound, this book will have you turning each page in anticipation. It s the introspective reader s dream–a spiritual journey woven beautifully through a love story. A book that will cause you to think on what it means to love and be loved. Nancy H. Isaiah set off on a ten day motorcycle adventure in northern, rural Japan. His quest, at the age of twenty, was to photograph the quiet mysterious culture, meet a Japanese woman and find The Tao (the way). He took stunning photographs, fell deeply in love with an extraordinary Japanese woman and found an old man willing to teach him the way, the truth and the narrow gate. Over the next forty years Isaiah s life tumbles through lessons of pain and redemption, loss and victory in search of a path of unconditional love and faith. Be transformed by a journey into traditional Japan, a mystical land of tea ceremonies, Japanese gardens, rich culture and unexpected spiritual revelations. Slow Brewing Tea is an epic spiritual adventure and a touching love story that will compel you to look deeper at your relationships with your God, your spouse and the path beneath your feet. For four hundred years, the Oda clan kept a secret. In 1593, Oda Nobumasa, the son of infamous Oda Nobunaga, converted to Christianity and to avoid persecution was sent away to the remote mountains of northern Honshu to live as a hermit. For the remainder of his life he studied the mysteries of Jesus and came to a shocking conclusion: Jesus teachings are a perfect fit into Japan s traditions of the Samurai, Wa, the tea ceremony, gardens and nearly every aspect of Japanese culture. Obedient to a dream from God, Oda Nobumasa hid his discoveries in his tea room scrolls, to remain a family secret, until... Join Isaiah on this quest; finish, and you will see life, love and spirituality in a radically new way. Our western world has been thirsting for a vision that can adequately blend Christianity with the depths of Asian culture and philosophy; this slowly brewed tea will satisfy. B.S., ELBAZARDIGITAL Best novel I have read in a long time. J., ELBAZARDIGITAL WOW is an understatement... from beginning to the end, this book will move you!!!... the BEST novel I have ever read.

Book: Our Missing Hearts: A Novel - Hardcover
-Titulo Original : Our Missing Hearts: A Novel-Fabricante : Penguin Press-Descripcion Original: Product Description The Reeses Book Club October Pick * An instant New York Times bestseller From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, comes the inspiring new novel about a mother s unbreakable love in a world consumed by fear. It s impossible not to be moved. Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review Riveting, tender, and timely. People, Book of the Week Thought-provoking, heart-wrenching...I was so invested in the future of this mother and son, and I can t wait to hear what you think of this deeply suspenseful story! – Reese Witherspoon (Reese s Book Club October 22 Pick) Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. Bird knows to not ask too many questions, stand out too much, or stray too far. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve American culture in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic including the work of Bird s mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old. Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn t know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn t wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the children who have been taken, and finally to New York City, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It s a story about the power and limitations of art to create change, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact. ELBAZARDIGITAL**** Review An ELBAZARDIGITAL Best Book of October 2022: I couldn t wait to get my hands on Our Missing Hearts, Celeste Ng s latest novel following her megahit Little Fires Everywhere. After devouring Hearts in two days, I can tell you it s even better than Fires. At the center of the story is a family separated by a nationalistic movement that feels chilling in how it might just happen today. A mom mysteriously disappears and her young son learns why on a courageous quest to find her, aided by everyday heroes in unexpected places. The prose sings as the pieces click. This thought-provoking story serves as a warning, a dystopian fairy tale, and a suspenseful thriller with moments of hope that buoyed me as I read. It s fiction as revolution. You ll question everything after you finish the last page and for days after. This isn t just one of my favorite books of October, it s one of my favorite books of the year. Lindsay Powers, ELBAZARDIGITAL Editor Review Thought-provoking, heart-wrenching . . . [Our Missing Hearts is] set in a not-too-distant future where entire sections of the population are deemed un-American and forced away from their families. It follows the story of a young boy named Bird on the search for his mother Margaret, a poet whose work was deemed unpatriotic. I was so invested in the future of this mother and son, and I can t wait to hear what you think of this deeply suspenseful story! Reese Witherspoon (Reese s Book Club October 22 Pick) Firmly written and well-executed . . . a meditation on the sometimes accidental power of words . . .

-Titulo Original : Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories-Fabricante : Dey Street Books-Descripcion Original: Product Description A sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories from Kelly Ripa, showing the many dimensions and crackling wit of the beloved daytime talk show host. In Live Wire, her first book, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. As a professional, as a wife, as a daughter and as a mother, she brings a hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day. It is her relatability in all of these roles that has earned her fans worldwide and millions of followers on social media. Whether recounting how she and Mark really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners. Surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor... Live Wire shows Kelly as she really is offscreen a very wise woman who has something to say. Review This laugh-out-loud book is a must-read for Ripa s legions of fans. Bustle Ripa has a penchant for name-dropping and rambling (or, as she puts it, making a long story, longer), but her essays are unapologetic, uninhibited, and undeniably hilarious. This banter-filled collection will delight daytime television devotees. Publishers Weekly About the Author Kelly Ripa is one of the most powerful voices in media, with a diverse body of work both on and off the camera. A household name for more than two decades and a career at ABC spanning over 30 years, Ripa has welcomed viewers with her sharp wit every morning as the host of the award-winning Live franchise. Having established Live as a major destination for entertainers, politicians, athletes and other cultural icons during her over 20 year stint as host, Ripa has been honored with six Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards for Outstanding Talk Show Host and 15 Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show, with a win in the category in 2012. Beginning her career in entertainment as an actress, Ripa s success spans across numerous celebrated television series playing various roles. First appearing on the soap opera All My Children, where she met her husband Mark Consuelos on set, Ripa earned three Daytime Emmy nominations. Ripa additionally guest-starred on an episode of the hit comedy series Broad City, where her performance, playing an alternate version of her television persona, was met with rave reviews. Ripa also starred in three seasons of the half-hour ABC sitcom Hope and Faith and in 2003, took a turn in TV s most coveted role, hosting Saturday Night Live. Ripa and her husband ventured into the development side of entertainment when they began their NY-based production company, Milojo Productions.

Consisting of eight sections, Striking Thoughts covers 72 topics and 825 aphorisms--from spirituality to personal liberation and from family life to filmmaking--all of which Bruce lived by. His ideas helped energize his life and career and made it possible for him to live a happy and assured life, overcoming challenging obstacles with seeming ease.

His main message was to keep ones mind, attitude, and senses pliable and receptive, and, at the same time, develop the ability to think correctly. This process of inquiry, debate, and practice would lead not only to knowledge of ones physical strengths and weaknesses but also to the discovery of basic truths that allow one to grow toward a state of harmonious unity of spirit, mind, and body. --Linda Lee Cadwell, from her preface He was a teacher first of all. He taught philosophy and tried to spread knowledge and wisdom...The integrity with which Bruce Lee lived his life and tried to uphold what he believed to be right--that is a clear example of how it ought to be done. No matter what it is youre doing, do it with total honesty and total dedication. He definitely influenced me. --Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I thought Bruce was a brilliant, fine philosopher about everyday living. He was very much into finding out who he was. His comment to people was Know yourself. The good head that he acquired was through his knowing himself. He and I used to have great long discussions about that. No matter what you do in life, if you dont know yourself, youre never going to be able to appreciate anything in life. That, I think, is todays mark of a good human being--to know yourself. --Steve McQueen Bruces philosophy seemed always to be going back to the Zen origins, where contradictory advice states the simplest of truths. Bruces lessons were lessons without being lessons; he was not a teacher, yet he was the greatest teacher Ive ever known. --Stirling Silliphant For every question you asked him he would never have to think about it, he would just blurt it right out. Bruce would cover every point with a little saying. If he would see that you were having trouble with something, he would always know just what to tell you. It would seem like he was always dusting off your bogie man. Like if there was something that you were scared of, Bruce would notice and then say Ah, scared of that, well look at it this way. He would change your whole id...

Book: Righteous Prey (a Prey Novel) - Hardcover
-Titulo Original : Righteous Prey (A Prey Novel)-Fabricante : G.P. Putnams Sons-Descripcion Original: Product Description Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are up against a powerful vigilante group with an eye on vengeance in this stunning new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. We re going to murder people who need to be murdered. So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as The Five, shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored...and very rich. They target the worst of society rapists, murderers, and thieves and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media ...though their motives may not be entirely pure. After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers. Review The book s strength rests firmly on the rapport between Davenport and Flowers: their pithy dialogue is spiced with the kind of humor that enduring friendships engender. Sandford fans will hope they have a long run as a team.--Publishers Weekly Sandford s characters seem to have limitless unexplored nooks and crannies to their personalities. A solid entry from a writer who consistently gives his readers just what they want.--Booklist In Davenport and Flowers the author has two big, but very different, personalities who bounce off each other brilliantly. Their sharp and witty banter is one of the highlights of this book... And something the author does very well here – it s a trick he s perfected over the years – is to tell the story throughout from the point of view of both the chasers and the chased....He really is master of his craft.--Mystery and Suspense About the Author John Sandford is the pseudonym for the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp. He is the author of thirty-one Prey novels; four Kidd novels; twelve Virgil Flowers novels; three YA novels coauthored with his wife, Michele Cook; and three other books. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. One Bitcoin billionaire, amateur art historian, onetime farm boy George Sonnewell sat on a concrete abutment in a sour-milk-smelling alley near Union Square in San Francisco, the cement rough against his jean-clad butt. The night was chilly, a good excuse for the long-sleeved work shirt and nylon Air Force jacket, heavy jeans, and boots, although a neutral observer might have been puzzled by the translucent vinyl gloves he wore on his hands. The clothing had been worn only this once, the better to minimize the transfer of DNA to a murder victim. And he waited, a predator in plaid. Overhead, between the buildings, he could see exactly one star, surrounded by roiling purple nighttime clouds that reflected the kaleidoscope of city lights back to earth. Though he rarely used alcohol, Sonnewell had three-fourths of a jug of Burnetts peach vodka by his hip. Bait. His hands trembled. Nerves, he thought. He was scared, but he was going for it. And here came Duck Wiggins, right on schedule, down the alley that he considered his alley. He spotted Sonnewell and the jug. Wiggins was a battered man, his face a collection of fleshly crevasses, eroded by his years on the street. His beard might almost have been mistaken for religious expression, so twisted and solid with filth it was. Wiggins said, Hey! This is my street, bitch! and a moment later, Whatchagot there? Sonnewell, matching the aggression: What the fuck is it to you? Gimme a taste. Why should I? Wiggins: Give me a taste and Ill blow you. Later. He was lying. He was the top of the food chain, not th...

-Titulo Original : La Biologia De La Creencia: La Liberacion Del Poder De La Conciencia, La Materia Y Los Milagros (Spanish Edition)-Fabricante : Gaia Ediciones-Descripcion Original: Encuentra por fin la verificacion cientifica de la unidad cuerpo-mente-espiritu, y sus aplicaciones en tu propio cuerpo. La biologia de la creencia es un libro revolucionario en el campo de la Biologia moderna. Su autor, un prestigioso biologo celular, describe con precision las rutas moleculares a traves de las que nuestras celulas se ven afectadas por nuestros pensamientos gracias a los efectos bioquimicos de las funciones cerebrales. Con un lenguaje sencillo, multiples ilustraciones, humor y ejemplos actuales, el doctor Lipton explica que los genes y el ADN no controlan nuestra biologia, sino que es el ADN el que esta controlado por las señales procedentes del medio externo celular, entre las que destacan los poderosos mensajes que provienen de nuestros pensamientos positivos y negativos. De esta manera, nuestro cuerpo puede cambiar realmente si reeducamos nuestra forma de pensar. Con sus brillantes investigaciones, el doctor Lipton nos presenta una linea de separacion entre el neodarwinismo (que considera la vida como una guerra interminable entre robots bioquimicos) y la nueva biologia, que nos propone la vida como un viaje de cooperacion entre individuos poderosos que pueden reprogramarse a si mismos para experimentar una vida llena de alegria. Si llegamos a entender la nueva biologia no sera necesario discutir sobre el papel que juegan el medio y la herencia, porque nos daremos cuenta de que la mente consciente domina ambos campos por separado. Y mantiene que cuando la humanidad cruce esa linea de separacion experimentara un cambio tan profundo y paradigmatico como el que acaecio en una civilizacion plana al irrumpir la certeza de que la Tierra era redonda. About the Author El doctor BRUCE H. LIPTON es una autoridad de prestigio internacional en los vinculos entre la mente y el espiritu.

Book: To Kill A Saint, Michael Swiger - Paperback
-Titulo Original : To Kill A Saint-Fabricante : Independently Published-Descripcion Original: Review Official Review: To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger ReportPost by Standor5865 27 Mar 2021, 11: 22[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger.] 4 out of 4 stars To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger is a mystery novel that begins with the discovery of a brutal murder in a church. There is a suspect at the scene of the crime, though: the priest at the church, Reverend Howard Jamison. However, he will not speak. His presence at the crime scene and his DNA on the nails of the victim present overwhelming evidence against him. He faces a potential death sentence, and his case is forcefully handed to Hunter St. James, a lawyer on his journey towards self-discovery and living in the ugly shadow of his late fathers transgressions against the law. Hunter initially believes that his client is guilty and puts little effort into the case, but a lot of things do not add up. The events that unfold throw us into a world of many secrets run by a powerful occultic group. The author did a fantastic job in this story by creating intriguing characters that readers will love and relate to. From the main character, Hunter, who hoped to further his career but was stigmatized due to the sins of his father, to Hunters romantic interest later in the story, Psychologist Faith McGuire, who struggled with going into any relationship after a failed marriage, the story did not lack in carefully crafted characters that showed us their strengths, flaws, and weaknesses. This was my favorite part of the story. I also enjoyed the conversations between Hunter and Reverend Jamison that revolved around comparisons between religion and science. Hunter did not believe in God, and I couldnt blame him, considering everything his family had been through. It was difficult for him to believe that there could be a God while he suffered. Readers will find their discussions very insightful, as they also debated the creation story versus the big bang theory. The author is also well versed in the world of investigations and legal proceedings, as we follow a well-detailed investigation that helps us uncover other suspects in the case, which creates a more complex mystery. Readers can also expect a few twists and thrilling scenes where our main characters lives are on the line. To Kill A Saint is a professionally edited book. I found just three errors while reading, and they did not affect my reading at all. The only thing I did not like about the book was the description of the characters reactions to losses at different points of the story. There wasnt a lot of effort put into describing this part of the novel, and it felt like they moved on too quickly. Nevertheless, the book deserves a rating of four out of four stars. It is a well-written, well-edited, and thrilling read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout. If you enjoy mysteries, thrillers, and supernatural novels, you will love this book. Product Description 2021 THRILLER OF THE YEAR - AudioBookReview A corpse on an altar. A witness who isnt talking.
