Be Still and Listen

 

Be Still and Listen

Author: Ghitana W Franklin

In the silence of her pain, she discovered the voice of God.

In Be Still and Listen, Ghitana W. Franklin invites readers into a deeply personal journey of faith, healing, and surrender. Through a moving collection of poems and reflections, she unveils a testimony of struggle and restoration—a woman’s battle through despair, betrayal, and brokenness, and the divine whisper that called her to stillness.

Each section—Despair & Hopelessness, Hurt, Angry & Unforgiveness, Seeking, Finding & Trusting, and Healing & Peace—mirrors the stages of a soul learning to let go and trust God’s will. The poems, raw yet redemptive, reveal moments of deep pain transformed into purpose, anchored by scripture and the constant reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted.

Franklin’s writing speaks directly to women who have endured emotional or physical pain, reminding them that forgiveness is not weakness but freedom. Like I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou or Poems on the Life of Faith by Helen Steiner Rice, this book resonates with those seeking renewal through spiritual resilience.

A raw and redemptive journey of pain, faith, and forgiveness, Be Still and Listen reveals how true healing begins when we quiet the noise and let God’s voice lead the way. -MainSpring Books

Her words echo Psalm 46:10—“Be still, and know that I am God.” In that stillness, she finds the beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and peace beyond understanding.

A testament of survival and surrender, this book reminds us that when we are still enough to listen, God’s healing voice can turn pain into purpose.

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night: 30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

   

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night:

30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

Even in the midnight hour, His promises still stand. Will you dare to believe He has not forgotten you? Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night is a 30-day spiritual invitation to those navigating doubt, disappointment, or silence from God. This is not a book of trite reassurance – It is a deeply honest journey into Scripture, prayer, and the possibility that the Father’s hand has been guiding you all along. Written by A. L. Schilling – a seasoned diplomat who spent most of his life far from faith – this book speaks not from theory but from a hard-won testimony. Despite years of skepticism, personal loss, and spiritual resistance, grace found him. Now, Schilling offers readers the same space he was given: 30 days to test and see if the Word is true. Each day presents a brief meditation grounded in Scripture, a heartfelt prayer, and a quiet challenge to take one more step forward. From Psalm 27 to Mark 10, from the wilderness journey of Exodus to the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel, these pages invite readers to encounter God – not through blind belief, but through scriptural engagement and honest conversation. If you have felt forgotten, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin, this book will meet you where you are. You don’t need to fix yourself before coming. “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22–23 Come walk these 30 days. The dawn is already breaking.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY--The Untold Story... 

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 360 pages, illustrated.
• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.
• New Evidence: How early experience "hardwires" the brain for perception, language, emotion, culture, love, sex.... Experience shapes the emotions in our brains.
• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to Hollywood horror movies, words, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at Salem...
• Mind Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.
.• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.
• How is it that the greatest minds in history were able to make some of the most astonishing discoveries of all time when others could not? All of us want to read about the amazing, secret, hidden powers of the mind. This book is often about the opposite; not just the genius of the mind but the other 99.9% of reality.
• MIND is about what has been left out, what others have not told us, in our high schools, our colleges, our psychology textbooks, and our daily news. Albert Einstein, in his autobiography, spoke of the realization of how much is censored from us. This led Einstein to "...an orgy of freethinking"; About life, freedom, and the ideas they forced him to memorize in his physics textbooks.
• A computer is only an expensive paperweight. It has value only when programs for word processing, spreadsheets, games, etc. are fed into it. The mind is the same. The brain and the computer both have unique properties, but the key is in thelearned programs.
• MIND is not for the fainthearted, it is for those who, like Einstein, have already run slam into a reality they never knew existed, and who want to know what they were not told.
In a prophetic statement that should apply to psychology, the Nobel Prize physicist Richard Feynman said, "We don't need more experiments... we need more imagination." Unfortunately, in its zeal to look more "scientific", psychology chose instead to go with more experiments. And more, and more, and... That is why it is critical to understand how the greatest minds in history made their discoveries.
If you read each chapter to the end, I think you will see a unique insight from anything you have heard before, solely based on the evidence from psychology. Some of it may be liberating, some of it may painfully clash with what we have been told. Some of it may make you laugh at the extent of human stupidity. Let the chips fall...

Exploring Souls & The Karmic Charade

Exploring Souls –

The Art of Understanding Who We Really Are

In Exploring Souls – The Art of Understanding Who We Really Are, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru, one of the most appreciated essayists of our time and a constant presence in the bestseller lists of Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Books, continues his extraordinary journey through the inner world of the human spirit. With over 100 published books of essays, Dumitru has built an impressive body of work centered on emotional awareness, self-knowledge, and the complexity of human existence. This book stands as one of his most introspective and enlightening creations.

In Exploring Souls, Dumitru guides the reader beyond the surface of everyday life, inviting us to look deeper into who we truly are beneath masks, fears, and social expectations. Through a delicate blend of philosophy, psychology, and poetic insight, he reveals that the soul is not something distant or mystical—it is the very essence of our being, often hidden under layers of illusion and noise. Each page feels like a quiet conversation between the heart and the mind, filled with gentle provocations meant to awaken forgotten truths.

The author does not pretend to offer formulas or rigid doctrines. Instead, he proposes a way of seeing—an art of understanding. He writes about love, vulnerability, solitude, and faith as states of the soul that define our human experience. “To explore the soul,” he suggests, “means to understand the contradictions that live inside us and to accept them as parts of a larger harmony.” His essays are bridges between light and shadow, between knowing and feeling.

What makes Dumitru’s work stand out is his authenticity. He writes not from theory but from life itself, using personal introspection as a path toward collective understanding. His words carry a calm intensity, balancing tenderness with depth. Readers who follow his reflections will recognize that this is not a book to be rushed through—it is one to be lived with, contemplated, and slowly absorbed.

Exploring Souls – The Art of Understanding Who We Really Are is more than a literary experience; it is a journey toward inner freedom. Through his powerful yet graceful prose, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru reminds us that true knowledge begins when we dare to meet our own soul—with honesty, compassion, and courage.

The Karmic Charade –

A Journey Through Spiritual and Philosophical Truths

In The Karmic Charade – Spiritual & Philosophical Essays, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru, one of the most well-known essayists of our time and an author whose works consistently appear in the top-seller lists on Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Play Books, delivers a remarkable exploration of karma, illusion, and human destiny. With over one hundred books of essays published, Dumitru has become a defining voice in modern reflective literature—an observer of the unseen, a philosopher of the heart.

In this book, he delves into the paradox of existence, portraying life as a great charade where every soul plays its role within the laws of karma. Yet, rather than viewing karma as punishment, Dumitru redefines it as an elegant system of self-discovery, where every experience—joyful or painful—leads to awakening. “We are not punished by the universe,” he writes, “but taught by it until we finally understand.” This profound yet simple truth lies at the core of his reflections.

Each essay flows like a meditation, blending philosophy, spirituality, and emotion. Dumitru’s prose invites the reader into a quiet space of introspection, where thought becomes feeling and feeling turns into wisdom. His words carry the calm authority of someone who has observed both the beauty and chaos of existence and learned to see them as one. Through stories, reflections, and paradoxes, he unveils how human souls are trapped in illusions of control while destiny gently guides them toward understanding.

The Karmic Charade is not a doctrine—it is a mirror. Dumitru’s elegant writing challenges the reader to confront personal patterns and recognize how life repeats itself until inner transformation occurs. His essays suggest that enlightenment begins not in escape, but in acceptance; not in denying the game, but in learning its meaning.

Adrian Gabriel Dumitru’s talent lies in transforming abstract concepts into living emotions. His writing blends depth and accessibility, poetry and philosophy, thought and heart. The Karmic Charade continues his lifelong mission: to help readers rediscover themselves beneath illusions.

In this masterful work, Dumitru reminds us that the purpose of life is not perfection, but awareness. We are all actors in a karmic play—learning, forgetting, awakening—until we remember who we truly are.

The Echo of Ucayali

 

The Echo of Ucayali

The novel The Echo of Ucayali is both an anthropological journey into the world of Amazonian shamans and a mystical adventure non-fiction, based on real events and told in the first person. The author, a linguist and transpersonal psychologist, spends two years in the Ucayali River region. During this time, she films a series of documentary shorts about the magical consciousness of the Shipibo shamans — but soon finds herself drawn into their world: under the influence of black magic and in search of liberation, she uncovers the most unpredictable secrets of the Amazonian healers. This book explores the spirits of the Amazon, the gifts and hidden perils of its sacred plants, the profound meaning of confianza and shamanic contracts, and the delicate line between light and darkness in a realm where energy is the ultimate currency. It is intended for those who embark on distant quests in search of transformation, who seek spiritual growth, and who take an interest in shamanism, depth psychology, and the cultures of indigenous peoples. The Echo of Ucayali is a richly textured narrative full of insight, adventure, and mysticism that offers a rare window into a hidden world bridging the ancient and the modern.
