Paris, 1954. Eli Cole, American attaché, wants only one thing: to
avenge his wife’s murder. But the trail has gone cold. After two
years, drinking to his beloved Liana’s memory is all he has left
— until the secrets she took to the grave come back to shatter them
all. A hidden photo, a Gestapo file, an unsent letter: these are some of the
clues Eli must piece together if he is to understand Liana’s secret
life, and her mysterious mission. But the clock is ticking. Powerful new
enemies are out to give Eli a one-way ticket back to the United States
— in a pinewood box.

With the help of Liana’s father and sister, an old war buddy come
abroad, and a cunning teenage girl, Eli unravels the events that led to his
wife’s death. But getting justice won’t be easy. The more Eli
reveals of Liana’s secret past, the more his devotion to her is tested
by her deceit. Can Eli allow himself to recognize the entirety of the woman
he married? Will Liana’s last art piece, a spectacular glass tree,
give Eli the assurance he needs to continue believing in the sanctity of
love?

The Glass Tree is a fast-paced, unpredictable mystery, and it is also the
story of one man’s attempt to untangle the complexities of betrayal,
love and forgiveness.

What’s in Your Head? 

There’s only one person standing in your way and, spoiler alert, it’s you. Don’t let this be the case anymore, you don’t want to be wishing you’d been able to speak to your past self (this present self) and tell it to stop worrying or to take more chances. You want to look back at the person you were and thank them for the incredible life they lived. 

It all starts with you, right now. 

There are stories in our heads about how things are supposed to go and what we need to do. Expectations are piling up from everyone surrounding us, stacking their judgments on top of your own personal judgments, creating a mountain of self-esteem crushing thoughts and behaviors waiting to be sifted through. 

Do we really know what’s happening outside of our heads anymore? In our bodies? In our everyday lives? In our relationships? The answer is most likely no, or maybe maximum 50% yes but the point is it’s not a 100% yes. 

We rarely know what is going on around us anymore because of the blinders we put in our brains so that we can focus solely on our ‘productive’ lives of constant work, heading for an inevitable burn out because of our overachieving tendencies. The questions posed in the previous paragraph should act as your beginner’s guide; if you answered no to any of those questions, read on. If you answered yes to those questions, you must read on because there is a big chance you were not exactly transparent with yourself. 

In this book we will describe tried and true methods for setting goals, forming habits, designing routines, and scheduling weeks to stop negative thoughts and become a more effective version of yourself. We discuss the importance of self-care and why you should include meditation in both your self-care and daily routines to reduce stress and create mindfulness. Finally, we will move into the interdependent aspect of the work addressing how the state of our minds can influence our relationships, how to reach out when you might need help, and how to ultimately let go of what is no longer serving you. 

There is a lot to learn so take your time, there’s no rush. Please feel free to use this as a guide in life, a reference that you can return to when needed.

Excerpt

It’s the city of Delft, the capital of the Dutch Republic, sometime
in the mid-17th century. Nowhere in Delft is far from water. It’s a
small city of canals, overflowing with humanity that ripples over a few
acres and out the city gates into the low-lying farmland and to Oospoort,
the city’s opening to the North Sea and to the world. To place it, a
brisk morning’s walk will get you north to Hague, the centre of the
Netherland’s government and courts. It’s a carriage ride to
Amsterdam. The Reformation and a changed Christian practice may have been
the instigator. But the foundations of traditional structures, of not only
religion, but consequently, also of community and family, revealed
themselves to be no longer stone, but sand. If this crumbling and the
confusion it caused wasn’t happening, the Inspector’s Daughter
and the Maid’s story may never have been told. The society, however,
was not infrangible, and these juffrouwen were ripe. The social changes that
were birthing, sprung from mindfulness towards humanity. Small incremental
steps. No giant leaps. That’s what was best for the greater good.
Seeds that consequence stories can be planted by previous generations, and,
indeed, such is the case here. The mother of one of the girls was the
progenitor. Thus, the story begins with he r.

Too often do we stray down the path that is not meant for us, never
realizing that God and Jesus are waiting right there for us to be guided
back into the light- the path we are truly meant for.

to God to help transform your life for the better. It entails a riveting
look at the real-life story of Janet Williams, who was led to the light by
God following a series of life-altering events. Find out how God implements
his plans without us even realizing it and makes our lives the best they can
possibly be, and how to commit yourself truly to the word of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and saviour.

EXCERPT

Prologue 

This book is centered around the story of my life and how it was enriched and enhanced for the better the moment that I accepted Christ in my heart and understood what he was trying to teach me. 

Many of us face hardships, poor choices, and issues in our lives. However, I was able to understand that these problems that I came face to face with were meant to teach me a lesson. This lesson was something that many people do not realize throughout their entire lives, and sometimes even leave this Earth without realizing. This lesson is something that is most precious and cannot be taught to anyone unless they go through the experiences necessary to acquire said understanding. I myself went through various trials in order to fully comprehend what God and Jesus were trying to communicate to me, but when I realized what it was, everything slowly but surely began to make sense. 

Here was the penultimate lesson: that I was not following the path in life that was meant for me. Of course, there were various indicators throughout my life that should have made me realize this, and they were all put there by the divine providence of God. Soon after I made this realization, it was hard for me to understand how others could not see the very same. So, this book serves as a sign for you to take a long, hard look at your own life and see if it is truly going where you think it is meant to go. 

When you completely give your life to God, it becomes His responsibility to take care of you in every element of your life, even securing the next new position that He wants you to accept. 

There is no aspect or element in your existence that God will not willingly assist you with, no matter how minor or insignificant you believe it is. 

In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is referred to as “the Helper.” It is now His responsibility to assist you in every aspect of your life where you will require His assistance. 

Here’s what you’ll need to focus on in your own special relationship with the Lord. Now that you’re walking in God’s perfect will for your life, He’ll be the one to totally guide you into whatever professions He wants you to have going forward. You don’t have a choice anymore! 

God now has a flawless grand design and future in place for your life, and He will be the one to lead you every step of the way to seeing that divine plan come to fruition! 

What precise jobs you do today will have a significant impact on your religious improvement and advancement with the Lord. The jobs you’ll be doing today will be building bricks that will bring you to whatever His exact purpose and destiny for your life is. 

You’re now on a different journey, where the parameters have shifted somewhat in your favor. 

This implies that if you go on a job interview and don’t get the job, it’s because God didn’t want you to have the position in the first place, and He was the one who blocked you from receiving it in order to save you from going down the wrong road. 

So, if you keep getting turned down after multiple interviews, don’t think of yourself as a failure. Consider the fact that these were occupations that God did not choose for you to have in the first place and that He was the one intervening to ensure that you did not wind yourself in the incorrect ones. 

Remember, God has indeed set up and plotted out your next new work for you. All you have to do now is wait for it to come to you at His appointed time! 

Waiting might be exhausting, yet it is through this process that God cultivates the fruit of perseverance and trust in your personality. You just must have complete conviction and trust and believe that God now has absolute control over your life and will deliver you the appropriate employment at the right time. 

Not only does God have a predetermined plan and a predetermined destiny for your life, but He also has a predetermined timeline in which all of these intentions will be realized. 

You must learn to be patient throughout these intervals of waiting. I myself went through the same in my life and often felt dejected and unmotivated until I came to look at these occurrences in a positive light, realizing they were meant to bring me to the path meant for me. 

Through this Christian book, I mean to pass on everything I have learned, practiced, and was made aware of. I hope these lessons help you as much as they helped me.
