Summary: In the gripping thriller “A Fractured Mind,” Marcus Price and Dennis Thompson, two brilliant neuroscientists, embark on a groundbreaking journey into the depths of human consciousness. Together, they develop an innovative simulation technology designed to create alternate realities for therapeutic purposes. Their goal is noble: to revolutionize the treatment of psychological disorders. As the project advances, the lines between reality and simulation blur, unleashing unforeseen consequences. When an unexpected tragedy strikes, Marcus is thrust into a spiraling quest for truth. Plagued by guilt and haunted by doubts about the ethical implications of their work, he must navigate a labyrinth of deception and hidden agendas. As Marcus delves deeper, he begins to question the very fabric of his existence. Confronted with unsettling anomalies and cryptic messages, he faces a stark realization: the technology they created might be part of a much larger and more disturbing reality than he ever imagined. “A Fractured Mind” is a tale of ambition, manipulation, and the quest for truth, set against the backdrop of scientific innovation. It explores the ethical dilemmas that arise when humanity’s quest for knowledge crosses invisible boundaries, asking the reader: how much can we alter our minds before we lose ourselves completely? Notes: Just a man’s slow descent into madness about coming to terms with reality is tough. That’s how a lot of men feel when they think their dreams and ambitions get taken away by bumps in the road. The implication that the man was damn near 30 years younger than he was in the simulation and still felt like his life was over in that moment could be relatable for a lot of people.

Dennis Lee was born in Russia but was raised in an abusive American home. After getting told by his doctor he could not amount to anything he attended college and joined the military. Born in 1995, he was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome. Life has been a struggle and hard for him to get through, yet he fought every day to get through college and the military. He turned to poetry as a way to escape.

Three classic Dennis Lee titles in one beautiful book This giftable and shareable volume brings together three of Dennis Lee’s best-loved collections of poetry—Alligator Pie, Jelly Belly and The Ice Cream Store—spanning three decades of his warm and whimsical rhymes. “You can almost hear the skipping rope slapping the sidewalk,” wrote Margaret Laurence of Dennis Lee’s timeless poetry collection Alligator Pie. One of the first published illustrated books about Canadian children, and featuring Frank Newfeld’s instantly recognizable original illustrations, Alligator Pie has sold more than half a million copies since its publication in 1974. Originally published in 1983, Jelly Belly tickles readers with a mix of humour and traditional Mother Goose charm. The vivid illustrations by Juan Wijngaard (winner of the 1981 Mother Goose Award) reveal wonders as readers follow the characters throughout the book and stumble upon new and fascinating visual treasures. In the kid-pleasing collection The Ice Cream Store, originally published in 1991, Dennis Lee delves into the special and imaginative world of children. David McPhail’s gorgeous and appealing watercolour paintings of children and animals portray both the familiar and the fantastic, extending the meaning of the poems and providing a colourful feast for the eye.

Before the church can arise and shake the world for the Lord, it must bring back the truth of God''s Word. The church needs to make the declaration to "Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God." Wells of Living Waters is a message of the Holy Spirit for the church to remain strongly rooted in the foundational truths inherent in God''s Word. Its purpose is to bring back those foundational teachings that Satan has been trying to stop or cover over within the church. In its desire to stay current and culturally relevant, the church has left behind some of the great biblical teachings in order not to offend those who attend. In the process, however, the church has dug all these new wells of teaching only to find many of them dry or worse, filled with poisonous water. Instead of trying to come up with all these new culturally relevant teachings, the church needs to go back and reopen those foundational truths where the true living waters of God''s word can be found that has brought life and revival to millions. In Jeremiah 6:16, the Lord said, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls." Wells of Living Waters deals with the foundational truths of holiness, faithfulness, repentance, the blood of Jesus, judgment, hell, Satan, the person and purpose of the Holy Spirit, the authority of the Scriptures, fasting, and stewardship. This book is soundly based on scriptural authority as well as Pastor Lee''s long-term experience in the discipling of God''s people""to all who seek to bring pure, living water to a thirsty world.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see: a person who truly believes he/she is on the right path, or one struggling daily to find a sense of identity? More importantly, how do you see God as you seek the purpose for your life: as your back pocket Lord, or as your personal guide? For some, they may feel they are on the right path but have drifted away from discerning and understanding God’s will for them. This inspired pastor and author Dennis Lee to establish a meaningful resource for readers wanting to grow in their relationship with God, in his new Christian discipleship book; From Here to There: A Journey to Spiritual Transformation, part of his Spiritual Formation series. As an “A through Z roadmap on discipleship,” Dennis offers readers a biblically-sound guide to familiarize readers to biblical principles of what it’s like to be a follower of Jesus Christ, being found in His likeness. Each chapter clarifies this developing relationship with God, established when you accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, and furthered through changing how you approach living this life in Christ. Pastor Lee takes the reader along this narrow road described by Jesus, looking at a Christian’s true identity when pursuing God’s presence and becoming aligned with His will. To make sure his readers’ stay upon this path, Lee looks at Satan’s potholes that damages a person’s spiritual transformation, as well as God’s speed bumps to help believers slow down and not miss God’s promises for their lives. It’s a journey to the ultimate destination of Heaven with God, and this guide will help you make the necessary changes and take the required steps to stay upon God’s path.

From New York Times best-seller and science fiction and fantasy mistress of adventure Mercedes Lackey, Book #4 in the pulse-pounding SECRET WORLD saga of modern-day humans with superpowers. Destroying the Thulian North American Headquarters has not made life easier for ECHO, or the world. The Thulians continue their attacks, first in unpredictable incursions, then with another all-out assault on ECHO, orchestrated against ECHO headquarters across the world. Dominic Verdigris has not given up on his effort to obtain The Seraphym for himself, in order to use her to avert his own fate at the hands of the Thulians. Nor have the heroes of ECHO and the CCCP found life anything but harder. Belladonna''s duties have increased a thousand-fold, and now she has responsibility for the lives of every metahuman in ECHO on her conscience. Obviously using the intelligence gathered from the raid on the North American Thulian base to find the main Headquarters is of paramount importance--but once it is found, can she manage to convince the armies of the world to follow ECHO into an all-out attack? Then Red Saviour risks everything on a risky gambit of her own: send her wolves of the CCCP to find the Thulian Headquarters, despite the dangers, and despite the consequences of blowing everything on this hazardous gambit that could very well end, not in victory, but with the world in flames.

It''s "go time" once again for the meta-heroes, including fire-bender John Murdock, hacker-witch Vikki Nagy, healer Belladona Blue, super-quick Mercurye¾and most of all for their ghostly ally, Seraphym, the spirit of the world who uses her secret influence to direct the fight against a Thulian-based tyranny of evil and slavery that is fast descending upon the entire universe!

The world had become used to the metahumans-people sometimes perfectly ordinary,but sometimes quite extraordinary in appearance-who mostly worked with their governments as high-powered peace officers, fighting crime, and sometimes fighting rogue metahumans who had become super-criminals. Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day. Suddenly, all world governments were simultaneously attacked by soldiers in giant mecha robotic suits with the swastika symbol of the Third Reich on their metal arms. If these were Nazis, where had they been hiding since the end of World War II? And where had they gotten armor and weapons far in advance of anything on the planet? Weapons against which even the metahuman heroes seemed to be helpless... At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

To celebrate the success of the first six Alligator Tales board books, Dennis Lee has created one new poem for the series, and completely revised an old classic to fit the new format. The books feature the rollicking, rhyming wordplay of Dennis Lee’s poetry, and the bright, playful artwork of Nora Hilb. Originally published inBubblegum Delicious in 2000, “The Rocking Chair†offered a wonderful glimpse into a child’s inner world. In this expanded version, Lee takes his readers on a fantastical journey out of the house, down the block, and beyond—to places both real and imagined. With their age-appropriate poems and beautiful art, each Alligator Tales edition appeals to the imagination of infants and toddlers. And with sturdy, board-book construction, complete with rounded edges, these classics are built to stand the test of time—and teething.

A stunning collection of poetry by one of our most beloved and renowned poets, Yesno is a companion volume to the much-praised Un (Anansi, 2003), and continues Dennis Lee''s urgent poetic project, which is to grapple with the question of the earth''s and humankind''s future. But where the earlier book concentrated on the deadly impasse to which we humans have brought the planet, Yesno is lighter and more playful, canvassing the possibility of hope. It explores an ethic of yesno, simultaneously embracing pessimism and hope. In the author''s own words: "Before I began Yesno, I thought it would be a pendulum swing from Un, moving from bleakness to hope. But the poems kept misfiring, sounding forced. Eventually, I realized the task was more complex. Namely, to articulate a world in which the demolition derby and the possibility of living more constructively in the natural order are both real. And at once. So, not just no; not just yes; but yesno."
