Ebook Dark Widow&rsquos Blessing The Children of the Gods Paranormal Romance Series Book 25 Audible Audio Edition I T Lucas Charles Lawrence Books


"Wow this story educates us in the topics of human trafficking and coercion and not to mention Stockholm Syndrome that may occur as a result. I never knew so many details regarding human trafficking, it is indeed educational. A must know for any parents. It brings to light the possible dangers children may encounter today. Education is one of the best ways to protect children. This story is excellent, it brings suspense, laughter, lust, love, and friendship. The clan does an amazing job at coming through with the perfect rescue operation. Now Ella and her family are free to live their lives and be safe at the village. Hopefully Ella can get past this ordeal and she can get on with her new life. I can’t wait to see how Julian and Ella turn out. The next book looks promising. So happy that Parker is transitioning, meaning Vivian and Ella are dormants as well. Very exciting things. My concern are Ella’s dreams with Logan. Is she able to telepathically communicate with him? If so, will she unknowingly reveal the clan’s whereabouts to him and put everyone in danger? Wow, I can’t wait to see what happens next. These books keep getting better and better. I highly recommend the entire series. I T Lucas is a very talented author. I love all the books in the series. 💕"

  • Wow this story educates us in the topics of human trafficking and coercion and not to mention Stockholm Syndrome that may occur as a result.

  • All these books are awesome, i literally finish them so quick i have to wait weeks for the newest one. I like how I.T. keeps all the characters in them like Kian and Sissi are still in all the books. This one is focused on Julian and Ella and her PTSD will she let Julian in or will she let the dark stranger from her dream overtake her. This is full of romance, drama, suspense and just over all such a good series. From prior experience i read A shade of Vampire and i used to wait for the next book like i do this one however i quickly got burnt out on that story by book 24 however this one i am still addicted to and waiting for book 26. This is a must read......
  • I can't write a review just for this book as I have read all the other books in this series. This whole story all 25 of them are so intreging that I haven't been able to put them down. It gets you thinking about all the supposed myths of whether or not they were real. This series will make you think. It's well written and won't let you go. I see many more books to this series. Read this story you won't regret it.
  • Wow, what a ride. The thing that means the most and holds my reading mind in a tight grip is the truly amazing storytelling. Storytelling in its purest form. I. T Lucas, thank you for caring about each and every book and all the fantastical characters that populate it. I highly recommend this book. Geez, was it a great read!!!
  • Another great installment that leaves me wanting the next book. That's quite an achievement for a series 25 books long with no ending in sight. I have read them all and even bought the audio version for a few. My only complaint is Syssi not getting pregnant. If you like paranormal, adventure and romance you will love this series.
  • I love the way these stories flow together! You don't know who to root for most in each book because they all are so much fun and exciting. Each couple has there own unique twists and turns to their story and this one is no different. So much happens from start to finish and now I cannot wait for the next book!
  • I've been waiting to write a review, no more! What and amazing book!! This series is what brought me back to reading! Magnum and Vivian, by far my favorite couple next to Amanda and Dalhu, of course😏. My biggest mystery is Yamanu! I have my theories I cant wait to see if my hunch is on point!
  • I am really enjoying this fantasy series of the gods and immortals. Happy that Vivian and Magnus figured out how to be together and love at the village. Also happy they pulled off the Ella rescue mission without a hitch (although I can’t believe that Gorchenko is going to give up that easily, guess we will find out next time). There are 20+ of these books so far, and so while I love the expanding world and new characters being revealed, I fear the scope is growing too big. We have really steered away from the Doomers like Losham (where is he lately?) Now we have this mysterious Logan to learn about... will continue reading these because I really enjoy the for the most part, just hope there is a focused end game at some point to the main battle.

The Connected Child Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family Audible Audio Edition Karyn B Purvis David R Cross Wendy Lyons Sunshine Anna Crowe McGrawHill Education Books Reviews


  • This is the textbook for foster (and fost-to-adopt) parents. If you do not have it yet, stop reading reviews now and buy it on your tablet or or audible so you can read it immediately. If you have friends or family new to fostering, buy them this book now.

    This book should be given to every foster parent upon completion of training or during training. It's a shame they mention the book, the author, and the research during training but not simply hand out the book as your reference Bible for the tough times sure to come.

    I wish we had this book when we had our first placement. He had been through hell and his behaviors were beyond our comprehension. Within the first few pages of the book is a table that connects behaviors to feelings that should be passed out to every foster parent before a child moves in.
  • This was a very helpful book! We are in the process of adoption, and it was recommended to us to read this book. We have listened to Dr. Purvis in the past and learned so much for her approach. This book will be kept within handy reach. She has so many wonderful ideas for how to interact with a child coming from a traumatic background. It is helpful for any child, not just a foster or adopted child!
  • Dr. Purvis spent much of her life studying and working with adopted children from many walks of life. In her book "The Connected Child" she makes gross generalizations for ALL adopted children stating that they are ALL "at risk" and therefore all will act out. As I have read this book, I can see the behaviors she describes in many children, biological or adopted. In fact, as I reflect on my childhood, I see many of the behaviors in myself.
    The parenting techniques that Dr. Purvis offers are great and often work very well. The techniques don't include screaming and yelling, solitary punishment, or physical punishment. The techniques are focused on redirection and correction of the behaviors. It gives you techniques on how to train a child to control their behaviors and express how they are feeling. It gives insights on how to help your child make decisions by giving them choices. It gives you tools to use to help kids to stop and think about what they have just done wrong, and how to do it right.
    If you can read past the generalizations of "at risk" adopted children, the parenting techniques and tools provided in this book are great and I think any parent, of biological children or adopted, can benefit from the lessons.
  • Was this book really only $6.74?! I have a decent foundation in child development and managing "normal" behavior, but I read this book in preparation for becoming a foster parent to kids who have experienced trauma. This is an absolutely fabulous book on basic parenting, with very specific instructions for how to work with troubled children. I love it and I know I am going to be structuring our home life around what I've learned from this book.
  • This book was recommended to me by my adoption caseworker and by other adoptive moms in a public forum. I strongly recommend it! We are about to adopt siblings and, even though they don't have any current behavior concerns like hoarding or RAD, this book has still been helpful in parenting any children who have experienced trauma. The book has lots of examples and lots of specific ways to help connect and support your children. I'm about halfway through the book now (I read half and then re-read half with a pencil, making notes and underling parts I wanted to remember) and the chapters on "Felt Safety" and "Teaching Life Values" have been the most helpful so far - well, that our struggles are not ours alone - others have had them and many have surpassed them. Karyn Purvis is an expert in the field - and after reading this book, I understand why her name is so well known. Her work is realistic, down to earth, and filled with hope. If you are adopting or work with foster or adopted children, this is a great read.

    The book's main points are
    - The key is to treat the whole child - and we'll help you do that!
    - Start where your child is
    - Compassion is key
    - Focus on nurturing and structure / connecting and correcting
    - "At-risk youngsters are capable of making tremendous strides toward overcoming early hardships and limitations."
  • This book is about attachment parenting or caregiving to children who have come through difficult situations. It gives ideas on how to approach a difficult child with love and understanding. I will keep this book as a companion to my baby book on attachment parenting called Christian Parenting and Childcare by Dr. William Sears. This particular book does NOT use scripture but it is scriptural in its teaching. Good for foster children, adoptive children from other cultures and children who have been in violent or emotionally abusive homes.
  • After floundering for the past year trying to parent our boys in a traditional way, we were introduced to TBRI and this book. Karyn and David are compassionate, thoughtful, patient and have research that backs up this method. We have been using TBRI for several months and it is doing wonders for both my husband and myself, and our boys. If you have children from hard places, trauma, or even if you're looking for a new, connected way to parent your children that do not come from trauma, I highly recommend this book. I plan on reading it again and again.

A unique tribute to art films as seen through the eyes of master cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, the winner of three Academy Awards.

The volume is a compendium of Storaro's extraordinary fifty-year career and a tribute to the creative sources of his work, as celebrated through more than 500 illustrations that reflect his singular style.

In cinematography, there is not just one kind of light, but an infinite range of variants not only the day and night specified in the screenplays, but also the daylight and artificial light, the darkness and the twilight, the sunrise and the sunset, the sun and the moon. And each one tells a story, expresses an idea or an emotion, and digs down into the subconscious. "The Muses" are the female figures of Greek mythology who have inspired the cinematography of Storaro in terms of aesthetics, light, color, and value.

Ho ricostruito la mia vita pensando che non lo avrei più rivisto.
Un giorno qualunque di dieci anni fa il destino me lo ha strappato dalle braccia.
E io mi sono sentita persa.
Lontano da lui sono diventata una persona diversa.
Una donna che convive con un segreto che potrebbe distruggere la sua vita perfetta.
Non sono pronta a rivederlo.
Non posso rivederlo.
Non può essere vero.
Eppure è appena accaduto qualcosa…
Lo sento.
Sulla pelle, nella carne.
Lo sento ovunque.
Lui è qui.
Contro di me.
E io ho paura.

Ho passato l’inferno e nella testa avevo solo il suo nome.
Ma lei non deve saperlo.
L’ultima volta che l’ho vista, i suoi occhi delusi mi hanno squarciato l’anima.
Sono un reietto, l’uomo sbagliato.
Devo starle lontano.
Lo farò, giuro che lo farò.
Ma prima voglio sentire cosa si prova a farla mia.
Voglio farla fremere di desiderio e tremare di paura.
Solo una volta.
Una dannata volta.
Io dentro di lei.
E lei contro di me.

KetoFast Rejuvenate Your Health with a StepbyStep Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals Audible Audio Edition Dr Joseph Mercola Christopher Ragland Hay House Books Reviews


  • In addition to the latest knowledge of fasting, the program proposed by Dr. Mercola maximizes the benefits of extended water fasting through partial fasting. The central idea is that, once we are both adapted to burning fat for fuel and familiar with intermittent fasting, we could extend the benefits by adding partial fasting. That is, at the end of the intermittent fasting period we have a single small meal followed by a 24-hour water fasting once or twice a week.

    It only takes a few hours to read the book since the material is covered in 150 pages. Although relatively short, Dr. Mercola by no means forgets to delve into the details. In fact, about 40% of the book deals with the cyclical ketogenic diet and the partial fasting programs found in Chapters 7 and 8, respectively.

    Let me share a review before you make any commitment. First, I hope to put together a brief summary from each chapter including key excerpts highlighted while taking notes. Then, I will share some personal thoughts and recommendations at the end.

    SUMMARY

    [Introduction] After a brief correlation between insulin resistance and major chronic diseases, Dr. Mercola affirms that becoming metabolically flexible—i.e. being adapted to burning fat for fuel—is key for resolving most of these health challenges. Following that, he touches on the importance of cycling in and out of ketosis to achieve optimal health. At the end we learn the benefits of partial fasting—named as KetoFast—as well as the differences between this approach and extended water fasting.

    [Chapter 1] Before jumping into fasting, Dr. Mercola shares the main food-related causes that have contributed to chronic diseases. One by one, each cause is properly addressed in the book [1] overconsumption of industrially processed foods; [2] crops grown with synthetic fertilizers; [3] food additives used to extend shelf life and enhance flavor; [4] excess iron consumption that can build up to toxic levels; [5] neglecting the importance of our microbiome health; [6] inflammation caused by a diet high in sugars; and [7] disruption of our natural circadian rhythm.

    [Chapter 2] Here is a primer on the history of fasting. As Dr. Mercola says, “the history of fasting shows that humans have been fasting not just because we sometimes didn’t have a choice but because periodically going without foods provides a wide variety of other benefits, whether they are spiritual, political, religious, or therapeutic.” He walks us through religious fasting, explaining the traditions and uses. Next, some examples of how fasting was successfully used as a form of nonviolent resistance. Last, we take a look at the history of therapeutic fasting.

    [Chapter 3] This chapter was my favorite the mechanisms of fasting. Dr. Mercola says that fasting is an important health-promoting strategy because, in essence, “it’s a positive stressor to your body.” We explore in detail [1] how it reduces insulin resistance; [2] how it triggers autophagy; [3] how it can naturally activates our stem cells; [4] how it can be used as one of the most potent ways to remove toxins from our bodies; [5] how it can help us live in alignment with our natural circadian rhythms; [6] how it trains our bodies to burn fat for weight loss; and [7] how it improves both our brain and heart functions.

    [Chapter 4] Now Dr. Mercola shares an overview of the many different ways to fast. We first learn that although water fasting is a powerful metabolic strategy, “there is indeed a dark side to water fasting that makes it far less than ideal fasting strategy for the bulk of the population.” The downside, he continues, “when the weight you lose is in the form of fat, it will typically release the toxins that have been stored in your fat into your bloodstream, exposing you to a flood of toxins.” Among the different intermittent fasting protocols, partial fasting seems to be the one that delivers the best possible mixture of fasting benefits and compliance. When partial fasting, the body mobilizes the toxins from the fat cells and, by eating limited number of nutrient-dense foods that support detoxification, it helps the body to effectively eliminate these toxins.

    [Chapter 5] Dr. Mercola addresses common side effects of fasting, as well as some absolute and relative contraindications for fasting. Insomnia, fatigue, skin irritations, mucous discharge, and visual disturbances are common side effects and are generally short-lived—they are the result of toxins being liberated from fat cells. Concerning contraindications, he affirms, “if you are underweight, malnourished, pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should not undergo any kind of fasting treatment.”

    [Chapter 6] To reiterate the dark side of fasting if not done properly, Dr. Mercola delves into the details of what he had previously introduced in Chapter 4. We learn that fat-soluble toxins are widespread throughout the environment and, because they tend to be resistant to degradation, chemical toxin levels in human have skyrocketed. It is something that, according to him, our “ancestors before the 19th century never faced when they were required to fast, because the environment simply wasn’t contaminated to the extent that it is today.” He then shifts gears toward detoxification, explaining the 4 stages, from the moment the toxin enters the cell in its fat-soluble state until the moment it leaves the cell and moves along the path to be excreted through our sweat, urine, or stool. We also learn strategies to maximize toxin elimination when partial fasting. In addition to drinking plenty of pure water and eating cruciferous vegetables, taking fiber and other binders will help sweep the toxins out. Sauna therapy is explained in great detail since it encourages passive sweating, “which is more likely to contain toxins than sweat that’s released when exercising.”

    [Chapter 7] Whereas earlier Dr. Mercola focused on the many circumstances of fasting, now he explains the cyclical ketogenic diet program, walking us through the details. Following a healthy approach, this chapter is indeed a primer on the ketogenic diet. What sets this chapter apart from most of the ketogenic books, is that Dr. Mercola addresses the potential downsides of long-term ketosis, including clear strategies to counterbalance these drawbacks by adding cyclical ketosis once metabolic flexibility has been achieved.

    [Chapter 8] Once “you know all the reasons to restore your metabolic flexibility and begin engaging in regular partial fasting, all you need are the specifics on exactly how to do so.” Dr. Mercola shares a step-by-step implementation plan, beginning with strategies to minimize toxic exposure, passing through a comphreensive 5-step KetoFast protocol, and concluding with several details such as foods and supplements to support detoxification as well as a simple way to calculate our personal KetoFast calorie target and breakdown. Since the content and the program are clearly explained, there are virtually no margins for guesswork.

    [Chapter 9] The last chapter is composed by 8 health-screening tests “to see quantitative evidence that your hard work is paying off.” Dr. Mercola recommends us to have these tests taken as we embark on our KetoFast plan, and again at least 3 months in. Each one of the following lab tests is explained in great detail [1] vitamin D; [2] RBC magnesium; omega-3 index; [4] fasting insulin; [5] serum ferritin; [6] high sensitivity c-reactive protein; [7] homocysteine; and [8] LDL particle number.

    PERSONAL THOUGHTS

    By now uncountable benefits of fasting have been demonstrated in clinical and experimental research studies. There are different protocols available depending on personal preference, health condition, and compliance. Having said that, implementing them isn’t easy at first, specially these days that we have been physically, emotionally, and socially attached to compulsive eating. It takes some discipline. That is why being adapted to burning fat for fuel is one of the premises to navigate through fasting without hunger pangs.

    Although I have just finished reading the book, I have been experimenting partial fasting during these last 2 months. Dr. Mercola discussed it openly with guests in his latest podcast episodes. Now Chapter 8 offers all the details I didn’t have access earlier.

    The KetoFast program is in alignment with the one Dr. Gundry recommends in his latest book, The Longevity Paradox. To be more precise, Dr. Gundry focuses on 3 strategies to be cycled each month fast-mimicking diet for 5 consecutive days a month, brain-wash days, and optimal calorie restriction days. If we put into practice the brain-wash day followed by the optimal calorie restriction day, one after another, then both Dr. Mercola and Dr. Gundry's programs offer virtually the same outcome. They are my favorite authorities concerning healthy eating habits. I have actually enjoyed the food choices Dr. Gundry recommends for almost 2 years now, based on The Plant Paradox book. In terms of timing, I have followed Dr. Mercola suggestions, such as daily intermittent fasting and weekly feast-famine cycling, presented in his previous book, Fat For Fuel. With regard to extended water fasting, well it has been a dilemma for a variety reasons. I have only recently done a 3-day water fast for the first time, following Dr. Villoldo’s protocol which is focused on spirituality through a vision quest in nature. It wasn’t easy, but I experienced a deep appreciation for life as well as personal evolution.

    As a final digression, independently of the eating habits we choose, creating a positive and joyful relationship with the food we eat is important in the long term. In addition to food, embracing other strategies that promote our overall well-being deserve equal importance in our daily lives.

    Take care,

    Haical
  • The book was very disappointed - NO PLANS , NO Step by Step Guides. He just tells you some reasons why Keto Diet is good and gives you some reasons why Fasting is healthy. Dr Mercola tells you to buy other books to learn more Example He says Dr. Fung is an expert in fasting Buy His books The Complete Guide to Fasting, so do not waist your money on this book. He does not explain how to fast or explain the Keto diet - just tells you that he thinks Cycling is easier to follow He does not tell you how often or how to cycle the Keto diet or how often to fast. Their are no Plans or Step by Step Guide to timing your Ketogenic Meals like the cover says. The book just ends its gives you some reasons why to follow the keto diet and fasting but no information on how to do it. He continually tells you to buy other peoples books to learn more. So Buy Dr. Fung' s books which are awesome or J. Moore Keto Clarity. I waited for this book Pre-ordered it very upset it ended with out any information or guides, or a plan. Do not buy their are much better books to get - which he tells you to read, He also tells you to buy his other books to learn how to follow and apply the diet. No Reason to get this book - much better information else where - just a waist of my time. The book is only 154 pages not 256 pages as advertised He just ends the book with no guides or plans, nothing very disappointing!!! Their are much better books to buy which he tells you to buy, one long commercial to buy his other books. Waist of Time and Money.
  • With the introduction of intermittent fasting and the current medical research proving its efficacy, a whole new spectrum of healing is now available. Dr. Mercola has long been a leader in educating the public about the benefits of intermittent fasting, and his new book, KetoFast, has provided an important link into the art of ‘scientific fasting’ and how to fast safely in a toxic world. I highly recommended this book.
    Personally is was introduced to fasting in my early 20s as a way to resolve chronic boils and severe seasonal allergies. This worked so well that I was motivated to change my life to accommodate regular fasting. Little did I realize at the time how dramatically fasting would improve my health. "Fasting is a gift of health that never stops giving." I hope everyone reads KetoFast and implements Dr Mercola's innovative approach to therapeutic fasting. Jim Ehmke, Clinical Nutritionist
  • I heard Dr Mercola on a podcast talking about this book. I was excited to get it and get more details about his take on Keto fasting. This book was a huge disappointment. It is repetitive, so much so that actual paragraphs are repeated word for word in different sections. It could have been a pamphlet if it weren’t for all the filler and repetition. There’s a whole chapter on the history of fasting. Really? Another chapter entitled Why We Get Sick. Guess why?? Our diet and toxins. Seriously the whole thing could have been explained in three chapters. And of course he wants you to buy the cookbook too. I suppose if you’ve never heard of intermittent fasting at all this book would be informative, but if you are familiar with Keto and fasting already, there’s not much new here except the eating strategy.
  • I read most of it in 24 hours. Very clear and well written. Simple facts laid out in an easy and digestible format.

    The information is very well researched and solid. I've been fasting for decades and am also a follower of the ketogenic diet. I feel that this book contains many missing links that have the potential for individuals to create a health plan that is easy to follow and implement on a long term basis. What I also liked about this book is that although it may be a big leap for some, it has smaller steps to make initial adjustments first, so that even a beginner could get on board.

    I've read all of Mercola's books. For me this is the most well written, accessible and strongest to date.
