A Time for God

 




We live in uncertain and perilous times, where life as we know it can change with or without our permission. Our world is incredibly fast and demanding, sometimes not leaving enough hours or minutes in each day for us to accomplish everything. Family obligations and personal and professional responsibilities can consume all our time and energy. If we aren't careful, we can get burned out and overloaded with busy work. A TIME FOR GOD is a 365-day devotional that helps us pause, prioritize and receive direction for our lives.

The Saints Lost Their Way

 


With their mother, father, and uncles already nursing wounds from previous rebellions, Mattie and his brother, Tadgh, are no strangers to Irish struggle against the British crown. Only when the brothers are torn from their own home do they realize just how bloody complicated the Wars of the Three Kingdoms truly are.

With England, Ireland, and Scotland about to be locked into a decade of conflict, dying in battle is somehow still the least of Mattie’s worries. Whether it’s enslavement in the tropics, the navigating of an unforgiving sea, or horrific tribal conflict in faraway lands, Mattie will not only learn the global reach of the war from his homeland but also get a chance to discover liberty—and love—in the unlikeliest of places.

From devastated Irish farms to a vast Barbados plantation and beyond, this sprawling epic takes readers through the riotous depths of seventeenth-century Irish history, revealing the often brutal but sometimes inspiring truths that no history textbook ever could.

Battles will be lost. Loyalties will be tested. Love will be challenged. In the desperate fight to determine who will rule Ireland, Mattie’s final fate may take him further from home than he ever could have imagined.

The Fox Demon's Kiss

   




Often times, the best way to move on is to move forward. At least that’s what Dana Jones thinks when she and her younger sister Nikki fly to Kyoto, Japan to fulfill their late mother’s wish. But as a young black college student in a new land, Dana’s skills are put to the test—and no amount of work can prepare her for what comes next. 

On the day of their arrival, a mysterious man warns Dana that she will meet a monster. She dismisses him, thinking he’s a superstitious old guy who gets a kick out of scaring foreigners. But everything changes when something attacks her at the Chihoshi Inn. 

Sorahiko, the inn’s co-owner and the handsomest man Dana has ever laid eyes on, saves her. He explains that the monster she encountered is a demon that belongs to a clan of demons with a sinister mission. They go after humans with a sacred heart—something Dana seems to have, and more valuable than she can fathom. To make matters worse, she’s their next target.

Going back home to New York seems like the best course of action—only the demons have other plans. Sorahiko offers Dana his protection, but at a heavy price. Will Dana pay that price to save herself and her family, or will she risk it all by facing the ferocious beasts who will stop at nothing to devour her?

Cannabis for the Treatment of Cancer

 



Cannabis for the Treatment of Cancer: 

The Anticancer Activity of Phytocannabinoids 

and Endocannabinoids



Sixth Edition, February 2020: Yet more cases published in media, plus several new cases published in peer-reviewed journals, including a study that followed nine patients who used high doses of CBD for various brain tumors. The evidence is truly overwhelming and there is no humane argument to prevent patients from using cannabis medicine.

Fifth Edition, July 2018: Numerous more anecdotal cases published in media entities around the world.

Fourth Edition, October 2017: There are now over 100 reports of cannabis directly fighting cancer in humans. Many new reports from doctors themselves. 

Third edition, March 2017: Many new testimonials added as well as analysis of the Phase II GW Pharmaceuticals trial showing how cannabinoids synergize with chemotherapy to fight cancer.

Second Edition, April 2016: Around a dozen new testimonials are included, most of them involving terminal cancers. The evidence continues to grow!

Cannabinoids like THC and CBD from the cannabis plant have been shown in scientific studies to fight brain, breast, cervical, cholangiocarcinoma, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, prostate, pancreatic, rhabdomyosarcoma, skin, and other cancers. They directly kill cancer cells as well as reduce proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. 

For the past several years, patients from across the world have reported cancer remissions by using high doses of cannabinoids. Doctors, dispensaries, corporations, and caregivers have also reported similar results. The evidence in this book undeniably demonstrates the anticancer effects of cannabis in humans, while also illuminating limits of the medicine and the importance of further research.
