A MYSTERY, A QUEST, A COUPLE OF GUTSY TEENAGERS AGAINST ALL ODDS
795 AD: A time of superstitious beliefs and dangerous forces. When Viking marauders burn the monastery on the Scottish Island, Iona, the orphaned Shaughn (14) is forced to flee the only home he ever knew in a desperate attempt to save a precious altar Bible. Not willing to be left behind, his cripple step-brother Connor (14) (with grand illusions of becoming a knight) and Heather (13), a superstitious, street-wise gypsy girl, accompany him on the adventure of a lifetime.Hot on the heels of the relic follows the fierce Viking, Thorvald, who is convinced that the Bible contains a secret recipe (a potion for eternal life). The escaping teenagers are cast into every imaginable medieval drama, from a bewitched castle to an encounter with a nasty Druid and even weird Viking Tournament Things.Shaughn, who passes the time reading Latin (a super-weird hobby for even a medieval teenager!) is clearly not equipped for this mission. Meanwhile, the cynical Connor, who harbours aspirations of becoming a famous knight, notwithstanding a lame foot and serious lack of valour, appoints himself bodyguard to Shaughn. But the brothers can barely stay on top of the spirited horse they fled on!Their only hope lies in the quarrelsome gypsy, Heather. Half Spanish and severely traumatised by the abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepparents, her single wish is to find her mother who, according to her, was abducted by fairies when Heather was 6 years old. Skilled as an archer, she saves the naïve boys from various predicaments but her superstitious nature soon drives them crazy. Shaughn, who is focused on his mission, is determined to educate her, whilst Connor finds it hard not to believe all her weird superstitions.As if it isn’t enough that they are being harassed by a group of Vikings and their nasty offspring, an ‘undercover’ witch and each other, the teenagers also have to deal with Heather’s drunken step-father (an ex-communicated monk who wants the Bible’s bejewelled cover), the midget druid and his ogre-like twin brothers who plan to sacrifice the kids on the night of the all-dead, and an eccentric Pilgrim who appears and disappears like a ghost. Their greatest enemy, however, might just be their own insecurities.Through this journey of outsmarting medieval foes, the bickering children, barely equipped to deal with the threatening choices of real life, touch the lives of many hurt and lost people and also find real friendship. The journey teaches them to trust God unconditionally and to find the heroes inside themselves.A note on the Altar Bible: The Book of Kells.Fact: The Gospel of Colmcille is considered the most important treasure contained in the Trinity College Museum, Dublin. During the Viking raids on Iona in 795, the Bible disappeared and mysteriously reappeared at the monastery of Kells, Ireland. How it ended up there nobody knows...Fiction: Well, maybe three canny teenagers rescued it! [more]

*
I met a boy at a subway begging for alms. He was a teenager. People passed in front of him without even noticing him as he pleaded.
I immediately noticed an old guitar lying beside this boy. I wondered why he had such a valuable asset and yet he begged to feed.
'Young man,' I said as I walked up to him, 'can you play this guitar?' I asked. He looked at me in surprise, wondering why I’d asked that, instead of giving him money.
*
‘I am strategizing on the direction to throw my cast net to,’ I told the fishermen, each time they asked why I sat idly under the tree by the riverbank, while others were busy catching fish.
They would smile without a word and walk away.
*
She was a widow. Yes, she was,
She lost her husband and father
of her children about a year ago,
Yet she remained a dedicated mother to four sons,
But she still had her fears; Ones so strong and she gave life to them instead.
*
I sat down on the wooden stool in our compound, thinking of who I would have become if our state government had not given me the scholarship to study at the university in our town after I'd passed the senior secondary examination. I remembered my excitement when I received my scholarship letter. The government of our state had promised to pay the university's tuition fee for each girl in our village, because they were being married off at an early age, at the time.
*
A woman was selling fruits by the roadside with her fourteen-year-old teenage daughter, when a beautiful car stopped by, parking directly in front of the wood table that hosted the fruits the woman sold.
Both mother and child tried to look into the car, through the tinted window, eager to see who was seated behind.
*
There lived a boy who loved football and often dreamed of playing in the field with the other boys, whenever he watched them.
But he couldn’t play. He'd broken his legs at a tender age when he fell from a tall building. Soon this boy grew up, but by now he’d dashed his dream of ever playing football since he was old enough to understand the bitter truth.
These are some of the stories featured in this series one of 1001 stories of Greatness. They are fictional stories that represent and relate to real-life experiences. Great lessons to learn from this series. [more]

Alle drei Teile der beliebten Fantasy-Romance-Trilogie „Dark Ages“ inkl. Bonusszenen als preisgünstige Sonderausgabe.
Dieser Sammelband enthält „Dark Ages- Prinzessin der Feen“, „Dark Ages – Königin der Feen“, „Dark Ages – Kriegerin der Feen“ und eine ca. 30 seitige Bonusszene aus Rians Perspektive. Ein Krieg zweier Völker. Ein Kampf um eine Liebe, die nicht sein darf. Eine Prophezeiung, die alles vereinen oder zerstören kann. Band 1 Nach der Flucht aus dem Haus ihrer kontrollsüchtigen Mutter wird die 17-jährige Lily von sonderbaren Vorfällen geradezu verfolgt. Ihr Leben entgleitet ihr vollends, als eines Tages Rian, der geheimnisvolle Mann aus ihren Träumen, leibhaftig vor ihr steht. Er berichtet von einer Prophezeiung und enthüllt Lilys wahre Identität. Ein Krieg, der seit Generationen in der Welt der Magie wütet, droht nun auch die Erde zu zerstören. Nur mit Lilys Hilfe können die beiden Welten gerettet werden. Bei diesem Versuch stellt sich Lily gemeinsam mit Rian unzähligen Gefahren, nicht ahnend, dass er die größte Bedrohung für sie bedeuten könnte. Band 2 Einige Wochen sind seit dem letzten Angriff der dunklen Fee auf den Grünen Zirkel vergangen und Lily sehnt sich nichts mehr, als ein vollwertiges Mitglied des Zirkels zu sein. Dafür trainiert sie bis zur völligen Erschöpfung. Neben der Rettung des Sagenlandes schlägt Lily sich mit völlig normalen Teenager-Dramen herum: Freundschaften, einer lästigen wunderschönen Nebenbuhlerin und nervigen Lehrern. Doch eigentlich wünscht Lily sich nur eines: Sie will Rian vergessen - den schrecklich arroganten, gut aussehenden aber so gut küssenden Krieger ihres Vaters. Ihre Liebe zu Rian ist verboten. Denn Lily muss ihre Bestimmung als Prinzessin des Grünen Zirkels erfüllen und den Thronfolger der Elfen heiraten. Ein schrecklicher Schicksalsschlag ändert für Lily jedoch alles und sie muss wieder einmal beweisen, dass sie die prophezeite Prinzessin ist. Doch das Böse schläft nie und ist bereit für einen weiteren Gegenschlag. Band 3 Die Verzweiflung im Grünen Zirkel ist groß, seit Lily von Megan, der dunklen Fee, gezwungen wurde, ihrem Volk und ihrer großen Liebe Rian den Rücken zuzukehren, um ihn nur so vor dem sicheren Tod zu bewahren. Megans Armee der Schatten wächst weiter und hinterlässt im Sagenland nur Verwüstung und unermessliches Leid. Die Hoffnung von Lilys Volk, dieser Übermacht noch länger standzuhalten, ist gering, denn die Königin der Feen bleibt weiterhin unauffindbar. Wird Lily sich im Kampf gegen Megan behaupten und sich dem drohenden Schicksal entgegenstellen können, um ihr Volk zu befreien? Oder kann Rian sie vor ihrem bevorstehenden Schicksal bewahren? Hat ihre Liebe überhaupt eine Chance? Diese Sonderausgabe enthält ca. 1100 Normseiten Lesevergnügen inklusive 30 Seiten Bonusszenen aus Rians Sicht. [more]

Most people think that mental health only applies to those people who have diagnosable mental disorders. The truth is ALL of us should be concerned about our mental health. It is our basis of being healthy. It is the holistic approach to health. In fact, many people adhere to the belief that mental health is the core of healthiness. Health starts and ends with mental health. It encompasses everything and it is everybody's business.
For virtually all people, mental health is often neglected until something apparently becomes wrong. Until then, we will have to wait for signs that it is vital to our existence, to our well being, to our relationships with other people, to our perceptions, to our fulfillment and even to our own happiness.
Even though we have achieved great medical advancements, there still seems to be lacks in our general knowledge on mental health. We have developed quick fixes to our physical ailments but we are left far behind with our solutions to mental illnesses. If we have anything, there still remain some loopholes and what we know is inconclusive. We haven’t developed universal treatments for psychological disorders and even assessments and diagnosis of such ailments are flawed.
In the past, the general concept for being healthy is the "absence of disease". If so, then someone who doesn’t have diagnosable heart attack but experience irrational fear on something like chicken or heights is a healthy person. In fact, no.
While blood pressure, cholesterol level, and body temperature are easy to asses these are still seen as singular components of our health. Disruptions in these mechanisms mean that a person could be physically ill. However, the health of a person is not only associated to how well his body functions but also to how well are his psychological, emotional and social dispositions. Manifestations of mental illness are much harder to asses since most symptoms occur discreetly during the developmental stages of the disorders and internal states are dependent on the subjective nature of the disorder. For example, someone who usually feels "blue" may or may not be diagnosed with depression.
We also have to take into account the social aspect of mental health. People who have sickness have more obvious manifestations that they are ill, therefore the society and immediate environment could easily identify whether or not a person is sick. For mental health, however, ignorance could lead to wrong perceptions. For example, a teenager who became drug-dependent and later committed suicide is viewed as irresponsible and desperate when in fact he may be suffering from a psychological disorder.
A simplistic definition to mental health could be "successful mental functioning". But what are the parameters of this definition? What could possibly tell us that someone is struggling through mental illness?
a) Someone who is distressed for a prolonged period without apparent, logical reason.
b) Someone who has disruptions in thinking
c) Someone who has altered behaviors and moods
d) Someone who relies on substances such as drugs, alcohol and cigarettes may have issues on their mental health
e) Someone who has impaired social functions
These are just representations of how a person with mental health may behave. However, these are not conclusive bases.
As we may yet to understand, mental health is directly correlated with physical ailment or health. Both may be one and the same but are very different in nature.
