This book is about the artistry and interpretation of life in all forms. These are some of my favorite pieces that I’ve written. I couldn’t figure a way to personally express my story to others so I write it down in words. I hope my story will not only empower others but also inspire them; that one day, your unspoken words will not only be seen and heard, but also recognized regardless of the color of your skin or the origin which you have come from.

What does being a Malfunction mean? Well, to put it in simple terms, you're dead meat. Being a Malfunction is fatal, and it often gets you killed in front of the entire State. The only thing you can do to escape death is run. Run as far away from The State as you can. Life in The State is not exciting. Cassiopeia has lived there her entire life, and that basically means that she has lived a satisfying life. According to the government, that is. She has no friends and no family. She lives by the rules, trying to blend in with everyone so she is not seen as an outsider. But things change for her when Malfunctions start popping up in The State. After witnessing the death of the Malfunction who murdered The President of The State, Cassiopeia returns to her Residential Unit and heads to bed, knowing that life is only going to get worse from there. Security will be tightened, and anyone who is seen as an outsider is going to be taken to The Labour District where they will spend the rest of their life in misery and agony. That night, after Cassiopeia has fallen into a peaceful slumber, she wakes up to a rapid pounding on her door. The minute Cassiopeia opens that door, she has to make a decision that will change her life drastically and put it in danger for as long as she lives.

When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible. Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost fifteen hundred years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. For the first time, Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes -- alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.

In 1914, Luisa writes in a letter to the now Saint, Annibale M. di Francia: “I am finally sending you this handwritten copy of The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May it all be for His greater Glory. I have also enclosed a few pages where I describe the effects and the beautiful promises that Jesus makes to everyone who meditates these Hours of the Passion. I believe that if whoever meditates on them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become holier; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if suffering, he will find strength, medicine, and comfort in these Hours; if weak and poor, he will find a spiritual food and a mirror in which to look at himself continually and so become beautiful and similar to Jesus, our model”.

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.
