Thirty-one-year-old Magdalene Patricia Balloy's life changed drastically in 1963. It was the turning point and signaled the beginning of her life's journey with Christ. This memoir follows her inspirational path beginning with an out-of-body experience when Jesus, in a glowing robe of pure light, appeared to her. Covering a span of forty years, Beyond the Darkness describes in detail what has transpired in Balloy's daily walk with Jesus since that life-changing experience. The story also relates her life's journey from her birth on the island of Grenada in the British West Indies, growing up in a childhood filled with depravity and abuse, to her current work as a volunteer. Through personal anecdotes and poetry detailing her faith experiences, Balloy shows how God has worked in her life. She explores some of the doubts, fears, and perplexities she has experienced in various life situations and illustrates how she found comfort and guidance in the Bible. Beyond the Darkness serves as an inspirational memento of a Christian life well lived.

Heaven on Earth is a layman’s guide to a deeper and more mystical relationship with the one whom some describe as the Ground of all Being. The book starts with a clear explanation of the personality and character of the one we call God; a personality of total self-giving love. It then goes on to explain how this can be seen in all of life around us if we were but to learn to recognise it. The author draws from his own practical experiences of encountering this loving entity within nature and daily life by using his own poetry and stories while quoting from sacred writings. He presents a God who is attractive, trustworthy and is wanting loving union with all people on earth. This book is both comforting and challenging and provides regular interludes for the reader to stop and learn to engage with this Divine Presence for themselves. If you read this book openly and honestly you will not be the same person when you finish. It is inspiring, will help to answer some of our deepest questions and can be life changing.

Enter a hidden world of winged vampire warriors—and the women they are sworn protect. Born of Ashes is the fourth breathtaking novel in paranormal romance author Caris Roane's Guardians of Ascension series... For years, she was kept as a human slave—one of seven unwilling "blood donors" for the death vampires who thirst for absolute power. Now, Fiona is a free woman, haunted by her memories of being strapped to a gurney, drained of blood, then revived at the last moment. She lives to avenge her captors—but only one warrior can help her... Jean-Pierre has lived and fought for over two-hundred years. He knows the triumph of slaying a death vampire, but has never known anything like the feelings that arise when he becomes Fiona's guardian. Her beauty, her pain, her passion—and her growing power—consume his senses. Now the warrior must draw his sword once more—and fight the gates of hell itself—for love.

This is the portrait of an unusual woman and a memoir of an already distant era, brought alive again by her story.

Her story emerges through digressions and various points-of-view. She is a domineering woman and a demanding mother, to whom her child means the whole world. And the world is full of disappointments and unexpected twists of fate.
