Finding Normal: Living Free From Culture Shock

FINDING NORMAL

Living Free From Culture Shock 

“I just want my life to be NORMAL!” is something I have said repeatedly in the heat of the moment, when what appeared to be an unbearable situation hit me head on. In the midst of praying and crying, I heard the Lord say with such a calm voice that brought peace to me, “Your life is NORMAL.” Then He asked the question that I know He knew the answer to, “ What if this is the way that your life is suppose to be?” 

Have you ever asked yourself the question: Why is my life the way it is? You may have wondered to yourself, “Could my life have had another outcome?” or “Why can’t my life be normal?” We spend an entire lifetime trying to find pieces to this puzzle called life. Some of us get frustrated along the way, and in the midst of the frustration, we find joy, happiness, and sadness all wrapped up in a time capsule. If you’re at the point in your life where you have came to a crossroad and your wondering why to the past and what’s next to the future then “Finding normal” is the book for you. God created us all with a purpose in mind and He wants you to know how to journey through life. Soon, it will all make sense! Take a journey with me and others to get a few viewpoints as to how to look at your life differently. Your life just may be what normal looks like.

What Reviewers Are Saying

”Oh, my gosh! I was so drawn with this story that there were some times I wanted to throw my ereader at television.” Rena, Amazon, 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

”Relatively few romance titles that have come my way involve multiple racially diverse characters. It had not occurred to me how difficult it must be to write this with clarity, so I am very impressed with this author. This is the second book in a series, and, while it does stand alone, I recommend you read the first book first. In this book, the primary characters are Marcus and Toni, and the underlying theme is their strong, constant love for each other even during difficult times. I highly recommend this book.” Carole Lake, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mercy: The Devil is in the Details...

Anthony Banna remembers the day the demon first came for him. It had been at the age of eight, when his grandfather’s corpse had grabbed him from its coffin, eyes blazing, speaking in a voice that was not his own . . .

Years have passed. The demon comes and goes, never staying away for long, never giving Anthony the normal life he craves. Now a student at Rutgers University, Anthony decides, finally, that enough is enough.

Under the guidance of celebrated academic and demonologist James Gilligan, Anthony begins to delve into the supernatural, eventually discovering among the old, dusty tomes, the story of one Mercedes Engle, a 17th Century Dutch colonist who, legend claimed, had been visited by the Archangel Raphael. Anthony can’t help but wonder: could Mercedes’ descendants still live in New York? Could they hold the key to defeating the demon once and for all?

Mercy is the thrilling, romantic, and sometimes comic tale of an Italian-American boy who, coming at last into adulthood, is forced to face his demons head-on—literally.

The Songwriter: Following the sound of love

The Songwriter: 

Following the sound of love

If you like the TV-Series "Nashville" or the blockbuster "A star is born", the music novel "The Songwriter" is for you!

The Swiss musician and book author Chris Regez released the English version of his success music novel, «The Songwriter». It was first published in German in Europe. 

But why would a Swiss come up with the idea of writing a music novel that takes place in Nashville? The simple reason for this is: Chris Regez knows the music scene in Nashville very well, because he himself recorded three CDs with his original songs in Nashville’s studios.

Why is the story a «music novel»

Unfortunately, the genre «music novel» does not yet exist in this explicit definition. Not yet! This is unfortunate given there have long been movies that depict the music scene (e.g. Lady Gaga: A Star Is Born; Elton John: Rocketman or the successful TV series Nashville).

«The Songwriter» depicts the music business in Nashville in great detail and immerses the reader in a fast-paced story comprising love, integrity, friendship, resilience, hope and disappointment. In the carefully researched and authentic love and music story, readers learn how record companies, producers and publishers pull the strings in the background, how recording sessions in the studio are performed and what problems the music industry has to deal with on a daily basis. It also serves as a kind of travel guide with «top» insider tips from the author for anyone seeking music clubs, bars and restaurants in Nashville.

Can the loser make his dreams come true?

In this fictional «music novel», the author shows how Joe Baker, the main character of the book, gets back on his feet following many negative experiences, leaves everything behind and heads straight to Nashville to try his luck as a professional songwriter. The book takes readers into the world of a songwriter who refuses to give up and overcomes hardships to make his dreams become reality.

But for Joe, success does not come without a price. The author places many obstacles in the way of his protagonist: Joe’s endeavor for professional recognition in Music City is repeatedly marked by continuous rejections on behalf of music publishers and record companies…until one day, he is informed that one of his songs has been selected to be recorded on the debut CD of an aspiring singer. And suddenly, things change dramatically…

Of course, what would a novel be without the presence of women: Joe Baker's ex-girlfriend and his new crush – a beautiful, awe inspiring female country singer – provide all the suspense needed to rock Joe's emotional life.

Ascension

Ascension

On the night Joel Stevens attempts suicide, he experiences a vision that instills in him an obsession to ascend as an angel.

Rescued by Donovan, a passing vagrant who claims to be an angel capable of leading him through ascension, Joel yields to his guidance.

Joel welcomes Donovan into his home, where tensions build with his wife, Sarah, who believes her husband is having a psychotic breakdown.

Donovan insists Joel must put his life in his hands and helps him achieve three near-death experiences where he visits broken, incomplete souls in Purgatory. Each visit diminishes Joel’s physical and mental capacity, bringing him closer to a state of being “less,” which is essential for ascension.

After Joel’s final visit to Purgatory, Sarah physically intervenes trying to wrestle Joel out of Donovan's grip.

Joel and Donovan get out and race to Philadelphia to fulfill Joel's destiny. They arrive at the Pyramid Club, a site used across the millennia for those ascending. But little does Joel know that his destiny has been written for centuries, and not everything—or everyone—in his life is what it seems to be.

The Healing of the Heart

Sufi Musings During Covid19

A Return to God

A collection of poetry inspired by the Sufi Tradition of Islam

Covid19 came to decimate our lives and forced us to reboot and re-prioritize our lives. Born into a spiritual family, I decided to return to my roots and search deep within my soul for the questions I have had for many years.I pondered, I mused and then one night, when the fear was consuming me, I returned to God, the Almighty. Lying helpless, feeling the despair, I introspected. I opened up the third eye within my soul and searched for God. I looked back at my life. And I wrote on pieces of paper. It seemed the words and emotions were welling from bosom, as if they had been trapped for decades. Now, I share them with you. My inspiration is my family and my guide are the Sufis who show is that the way to the Divine is through the heart. I present to you, the musings from my heart. Anila Aliwww.anilaali.com
