Get Untied from Your Past Sex is like glue. Super human glue. Inside marriage, God designed it to be a bond that is powerful and unifying. Outside of marriage, the bonds of sex can be devastating. Long after the lover is gone, the bond we’ve created stays with us, negatively impacting our lives and future relationships. Now, through an impressive combination of Scripture and scientific research, Barbara Wilson shows how God designed us to be uniquely bonded through sex. But even more so, she concentrates on the tangible hope that is yours. This book will equip you not only to break those bonds, but to embrace a new, abandoned, wise, and thankful heart. You’ve had sex. But now sex has you. It’s a past that haunts the present. Sabotaged relationships, low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, an empty spiritual life. Sex will bind you up and tie you down. Why? It’s just sex. But “just sex” means your body, soul, mind, and spirit have become one with another. Released from a past of her own, Barbara Wilson now combines scientific research with Scripture to offer striking new insights about what sexual bonding is, why it is harmful, and how to move freely into your future. Complete with a study guide for group or personal use, The Invisible Bond is your hands-on tool for changing not your past…but your life. “Barb’s honesty and vulnerability will inspire you to let God do in your life what He has done in hers, mine, and millions of other lives. He has set us free from self-defeating guilt and shame, helped us embrace our sexuality rather than fear it, and taught us how to enjoy genuinely healthy, intimate relationships. If that sounds appealing to you, then you hold the right book in your hands.” Shannon Ethridge Bestselling author of the Every Woman’s Battle series Story Behind the Book As abstinence director and educator for a Sacramento pregnancy center, Barbara Wilson talks to wounded and bleeding hearts every day. They’ve lost the war on sexual purity and the daily consequences are their reality. All they want is hope—hope that they can be free from the pain and shame that their past drags into their present and future. This book reveals the negative impact of sexual bonding and offers steps to freedom from past sexual and emotional bonds. But even more, it offers new direction for the free heart, and how to embrace an abandoned, overflowing life!

Excerpt from The Invisible Bond As he strode up and down the long platform at the station, hands in his pockets, head thrown back, face aglow, Roger Bolling devoutly hoped that at least in one particular Mrs. Caldwell's summary would be supported by fact. He felt that he would not find it hard to forgive his prospective acquaintance if she should prove to be far from beautiful, if only she should show herself to be neither awkward nor shy. He was inclined to be a little ill at ease himself on occasions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Invisible Bond He seemed a mere boy as he dashed into the waiting-room at the station - the incarnation of eager, untried youth, of boundless hope, and undaunted purpose; of that which made him of a part not only with the morning of life but with the very springtime of the world, the music of Pan, and the sweet mockery of illusion. He was notably tall and straight, of fine athletic build, with a hint of reserve force, moral as well as intellectual. Despite his gay good humor, he looked as if he might be serious enough on occasions, and one knew him at once for one of those acutely sensitive souls with whom feeling can seldom be less than profound and effort is almost invariably earnest. To-day happiness, strength, surety were stamped upon him as by an impress, though for the moment his smooth, dark face was flushed and appealingly contrite, and his manner betrayed the nervous haste of one who seeks to atone for an omission by an excess of alertness.

This is a work of fiction. A novel based on a foundation of certain firm probabilities. The reader never knows if he has reached the end. He is unwilling to leave the Kingdom; he is unwilling to forget Princess Rajeswary; he does not want to leave the company of the ascetic Vishnushatry; he is willing to remain spellbound by the lectures of Professor Arjun and Catherine; he wants to visit the North Woods to have a glimpse of the majestic Promi Sierra; he wants to see how Suryawarma’s sword blazes. He wants to return again and again to the chapters that are so adorable and so realistic. He is caged within the pages… No, this is not a novel. It is a visit to an extraordinarily enchanting place. The stories are intertwined cohesively to present the story of a small civilization, and there is a shade of mystery! The kingdom of Promipur is a wealthy and advanced kingdom—advanced in terms of human progression in the absolute sense. At the conclusion, the reader is unwilling to keep the book down, wishing only that what happens at the end ought not to have happened.

Allan Kardec recommended prudence and knowledge as necessary preparation for the practice of mediumship, as they are the means for avoiding conscious and unconscious errors. In the Invisible is an indispensable book for students of mediumistic experimentation. Léon Denis wrote this treatise on experimental Spiritism, which, besides studying the laws that govern the communications between the invisible and physical worlds, presents a large number of spirit-related cases researched by scholars and the conclusions they reached. The author concludes that, “The constant and in-depth study of the invisible world, which is also the world of causes, will be the great resource and the inexhaustible reservoir on which thought and life must be nourished. Mediumship is the key.”

History books frequently refer to supposed similarities between the Italian region of Piedmont and the United Kingdom and their respective inhabitants. Historians, with a certain degree of emphasis, have described as a “special relationship” or an “ancient friendship” this long-term and privileged liaison. Regardless of the rhetoric, an ancient friendship really did exist, and perhaps still does. The alliance between Piedmont and the United Kingdom, though temporarily spoiled by passing clouds, was cemented by the common French threat as well as the necessity, for the United Kingdom, of gaining access to the Mediterranean, while the Piedmontese state may not have survived situated between aggressive enemies and large empires without British backup. It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that both countries simply needed each other. However, what history books frequently neglect to recount are the existences of the individuals who, with their hopes, works and sometimes a certain degree of chance, contributed to the invisible bridge linking the Italian region with the British Isles. This book collects the stories of eight individuals and a special book in order to investigate UK-Piedmont relationships from an unusual and privileged perspective.
