This book is about my life story from my childhood the earliest memory And the sufferings I experienced from such a young age. Included are my spiritual encounters of when I saw a vision of the Mother of Jesus (Our Lady) when I was 14 and my encounter with a Monk and Paul who were angels. And my encounter with Jesus in heaven at my near death experience when I was 17. There are other stories of miracles of people being healed. And miracles at Lourdes. I also included a dialogue to my foster mother in the form of letters and Scriptures that helped me overcome my traumas and bad memories and how God helped me to get well and grow to become a strong Christian. I have also included some poems that I received inspiration from the Lord in the circumstances I was in at the time and some family pictures. I hope readers will be encouraged to find their own peace with God As my experiences are true and God is truly real and he loves his people and he is A faithful God and he will help us and answer our prayers And God will bring us to heaven if we love Him and are faithful to Him. I know because I have been to heaven and Jesus brought me back To testify of His love, salvation and hope for His people. By Catherine J.M. Hughes

This book contains the testimonies of Catherines experiences, which are profound miracles of Gods love. Catherine was fourteen and in her foster home. After a nightmare one night, she had an awesome vision and an encounter with the mother of Jesus. From the age of seven, she had been to a Church of England Sunday school with her next-door neighbour Noreen, so she knew about the stories of Jesus, but she did not know anything about the Catholic Church. But the main, most awesome event occurred when she was seventeen. From Page 9 Suddenly I was going full speed down a tunnel, and I felt safe as though God was taking me somewhere. Then I came to a light so bright and dazzling. I arrived at a beautiful garden rich in colour, with fresh grass, flowers, trees, and streams. Clear golden roads led to mansions in the distance, and young people were talking and children playing in fields and gardens whilst angels flew all around. It was paradise, and the sound of music was everywhere, with a complete sense of peace and love. Then there came a bright light, and Jesus appeared. These and other miracles changed Catherines life. There is another miracle related in this book about a statue and prayers that the Lord gave her to help her grow closer to him. Catherines second book, A Flickering Light Becomes Aglow, follows on and contains the full stories of Catherines life experiences.

From the pen of one of Hong Kong's leading writers, Xi Xi (1938 - ), Flying Carpet mirrors the past and present of Fertillia, an island city situated on the south-eastern coast of the huge country of Dragonland. Fertillia is of course Hong Kong, and the novel is part history and part imagination, a rich tapestry of the local material culture and a vivid portrayal of sensitive Chinese minds, a saga of the Fa family who has lived through Fertillia's development from a small village to a cosmopolitan metropolis. On top of the personal drama involving three generations of people, the author casts her narrative net over many walks of life in the city and suggests the uniqueness of Fertillia's existence within a cosmic order of rare elegance and harmony.

While reading this book and something unexpected happens, how would you respond? Who would you look to for help? There are a vast number of people stranded on life’s highway struggling for help to resolve the difficult crises they face day to day. The goal is to assist in a manner that enables them to endure with dignity and hope. Think of the many crises you have faced and where you would have ended up had someone not stopped and shared a helping hand. Crises can either bring out the best in us or the worse, depending on one’s ability to cope. A Flickering Flame is a metaphor suggesting that when unexpected events occur, the source of light is affected resulting in a flicker. Viewed through the physical lens during a storm or power surge, the lights might flicker. Similarly, in the emotional realm, severe losses leave people bereft of vital sources of emotional supplies and typically produce grieving reaction (flickering flames). There will be times when your light will flicker, but someone will show up to keep it aglow. Equipping and empowering congregational leaders is a model that produces creative strategies for caregiver intervention.

An inexplicable curse has plagued the people of Anceal for longer than history or language can remember. Children born to human parents begin to change, bodies twisting to resemble birds, snakes, wolves. Many are cast out and few survive. Paji, one such cursed orphan, believes it could be different. Legend has it that the cursed race has a savior, or perhaps a destroyer, in The Warden of the Past. When there is nothing more than legend left to preserve them, Paji leads her unlikely family of motley military scouts, monks, and dragons on an impossible journey to set The Warden free. But all their efforts may not be enough to rescue a being so ancient, so elusive, that none among them know just who-- or what-- they seek.
