The Azerbaijani attack on the de facto independent Republic of Artsakh (formerly the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) in September 2020 shattered the illusion that this conflict is “frozen.” The forty-four-day war in 2020 was the bloodiest outbreak of violence over the separatist region since the conflict began in the late 1980s and threatened to embroil Turkey and Russia in a dangerous proxy war in the volatile South Caucasus. Despite the publication of several works on the conflict since the 1990s, many aspects of the conflict remain poorly understood or distorted in Western scholarship due to US-NATO political influence. Are the origins of the conflict found in Soviet nationalities policy and Joseph Stalin’s divide-and-rule methods? Do the Armenians in Artsakh have a right to self-determination as enshrined in treaty and customary international law? What role do Russia and Turkey have in the conflict? Did Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence establish a precedent for Artsakh and other separatist states such as Abkhazia and South Ossetia? By breaking with the dominant US-NATO political paradigm, this book strives to answer these and many other questions to provide a long overdue reassessment of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Conflict.

“Spotlighting each individual’s power to create a different reality.” – BookLife

An easy-to-follow pocket guide to help you develop a new mindset and discover the amazing person that you already are.

The greatest influence on our daily lives is our internal dialogue— it shapes everything we do. Often, we aren’t mindful of these mental conversations, many of which are noisy and disruptive.

Speak This Not That: Positive Affirmations to Have a Better Day is designed to bring awareness to the mind’s constant chatter by taking an everyday negative thought and flipping it into three positive statements. Using inspirational quotes for extra motivation, we can transform this background noise into a more encouraging dialogue. By making a simple change from “I can’t” to “How can I?”, we open the door to new possibilities.

Speak This Not That inspires us to:
Boost our mood, self-esteem, and confidence
Create empowering self-talk to set the stage for success
Improve our mindset with daily wisdom to live a happier life

The words we use are extremely powerful. The stories we tell ourselves matter. When we shift our focus and intentionally choose the narrative we want for our lives, then we can thrive. Start your transformative journey to a happier life!

Energies in connection with and support for those transitioning from physical life

Puritans, Plagues, and Promises transports you back four centuries into some of England's most tumultuous times. Nine Puritans stand firm for their faith under charges of treason and sedition with consequences of life or death. The resulting stories expose formidable influences and challenges (political, religious, legal, and economic) that set the stage for conflicts of Church and State, the rule of law, and a monarch's absolute power. These powerful forces ultimately propel the author's ancestors, among 21,000 English men, women, and children, to leave England during the Great Migration to New England and forge new lives in America.

Imagine what would happen if you spent thirty days working to improve a relationship? What kind of connection would that build?

In our busy world, we can gain so much peace, hope, and direction from intentionally spending time with God. More often than not, this translates to investing in our relationship with God the Father and God the Son, but what about God in the third person? The Holy Spirit is a key member of the Trinity because He is the God-inside-us. But on the whole, we hardly spend much time with Him, much less think about Him. He is mysterious, but that doesn’t change the reality that He wants to be known by everyone who wants to know God. He reveals Jesus, the image of the invisible God. More than that, He reveals the Son, who shows us our Father.

God exists in relationship and wants us to enter into relationship with Him, where we discover who we really are. Third Person is a thirty-day journey into a greater understanding of the Holy Spirit’this little-known person of the Trinity. As you gain understanding, you will see your life take on more meaning, color, and direction than you ever thought possible.
