The concept of using storytelling in personal and business applications is not new. The idea of using stories in our daily lives is embedded into the human condition. People are instinctively drawn to hearing stories and telling stories. This is certainly not the first book on storytelling or even the first book on storytelling in business and other situations. However, many of the books on storytelling concentrate on making the case for using stories in business and everyday situations. As the title implies, this book takes a more practical approach to storytelling. The book focuses on the...

CULLER OF BEASTS a novel by John Noone Lazarus Fallon, formerly Flynn, 1936-1960, was raised in the grim Forties, the drab Fifties, a product of established misrule and the perversities of creed and law purveyed and perpetrated in that time. Taken from his unmarried mother at birth and sent to an orphanage on the death of his adoptive parents, his rescue at the age of ten came too late to avoid the injuries of institutional abuse and neglect. To all appearances an ordinary young man, less angry than many, less disaffected than most, a national serviceman in Kenya and an undergraduate at ...

"Water is a vastly powerful force, as is creativity. Once you start writing, your creativity can flow around, over, even through your fear, just as water always finds a way around, over and through any obstacle, given time. Your writing won't flow until you open yourself, even a tiny chink of yourself, to the infinite depths of your own creativity." Use short bursts of free-flow writing as a tool to rediscover the pleasure of the creative moment.

Sha'ul Bayn and Alish'bai realize the bag of lies that had been sold to them throughout their childhood through Protestant Christianity. It took them about a year to transition into “Messianic Judaism,” and several more years to reject Messianic Judaism and believe in the Most High alone and His TaNaKh (falsely called the ‘Old Testament’). Each of the changes noted above took time, heartache, prayer, thorough study and thought. Out of honesty to the Most High and to ourselves, we needed to study issues such as the Trinity/Oneness, Law/Turah, Feast days and Calendar issues, the...

Pt # 2 of "Jesus" a figment of mythological Religion. The name Jesus Christ and it's implied character and purpose, turns out to be all an empty myth. That is a fact because the idea of Jesus Christ, has no B.C. record which scheduled it as a wouldbe human experience. Jesus is a Roman A.D. era production, it called Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord." This is connected directly to the symbology of the evil Roman Catholic Crucifix. The cross Yeshua was nailed to alive. Rome has turne its' crime into affluence, through a system of belief and faith.
