Read Here: https://mindof-books.blogspot.com/?book=1939972310

On July 6, 2013, Father Mina Abood was martyred. In this book, you will follow along the mere thirty-eight-year-long journey spent by this honored presbyter on the earth. It begins with his early life and humble beginnings as a servant in his home-city of Aswan, and later in the suburbs of bustling Cairo. It then proceeds to describe his mysterious call to the priesthood in war-torn Sinai. The compelling story culminates in a valorous witness to the Christian faith, and a brutal, yet triumphant, martyrdom. But the story does not end there, as you become acquainted with the esteem that the Lord God holds for His martyrs, manifested in the events following Father Mina's death. The hope is that all may be encouraged to model the resilient faith of this contemporary martyr, who persistently emphasized, "My true home is in heaven."

EPUB Claimed by the Orc Prince: An MM Fantasy Romance (The Orc Prince Trilogy Book 1)

Read Here: https://mindofbook.blogspot.com/?book=B08T94W23W

An elven prince. The son of an orc warlord. In two warring nations, their arranged marriage brings peace. They never expected to fall in love.

Prince Taegan Glynzeiros has prepared since childhood to fight and lead armies against invading orc forces, the enemies of elves for hundreds of years. But after a successful peace treaty, the elven prince will not be fighting orcs, but marrying one.

The first words he speaks to Zorvut are their wedding vows. Despite being considered the runt amongst the orc warlord’s children, Taegan finds him to be intelligent and thoughtful—everything the stereotypes about orcs say he shouldn’t be. He doesn’t want to fall in love, but Zorvut’s gentle soul makes it difficult to resist. Worse, their marriage bond, forged by ancient elven magic between their minds, proves to be a far deeper and stronger connection than anyone expected. Despite their trepidation, a genuine relationship blossoms from the political union.

But such a long war is not easily forgotten, and there are both elves and orcs who want to see them apart. When a dark secret comes to light, threatening to nullify the very peace treaty that brought them together, Taegan must decide if his feelings for Zorvut are worth fighting for.

This steamy MM fantasy romance, the first in the Orc Prince trilogy, features an arranged marriage with delicious size difference, and contains light omegaverse/A/B/O elements (mpreg is discussed as an in-world possibility, but does not happen on the page). This 18+ novel contains explicit scenes; if that's not your thing, Lionel Hart probably isn't the author for you.

⚠Content warnings: discussions of parental death, infidelity (not between main characters), hunting, animal death.

Ebook The Ghost Perfumer: Creed, Lies, & the Scent of the Century

Read Here: https://mindof-books.blogspot.com/?book=B09NV13KMQ

This is the story of a genius and a fraud.

For more than half a century, Olivier Creed, heir to a French fashion empire but out to conquer an adjacent field by himself, created the most compelling and costly perfumes in the world – scents so successful – artistically and commercially – that the world's largest asset manager bought his small olfactory enterprise for nearly $1 billion in 2020.

One could arguably have called him the world’s most capable perfumer.
Except Olivier Creed never authored the scents for which he has long received acclaim and lucre. Gabe Oppenheim reveals the heretofore untold story behind this supposed-cologne colossus of a man – and the eponymous company that became a social media sensation:

That scents were authored by someone else entirely – a brilliant ghostwriter – a hidden, scholarly figure with a great passion for Proust and an unfortunate tendency to doubt the quality of his own compositions.

How these two figures met and the arrangement was struck – how they circled each other warily for the next 40 years – how lies, told often enough, became truths – Gabe Oppenheim examines as he journeys into the heart of an industry mystifying and fanciful, enormous and intimate, sensuous and yet so-damn-insubstantial.

It’s an expedition that takes him to a Creed shop in Dubai and the castle in Normandy where the Ghost resides, having left behind a Parisian world that, in some sense, never acknowledged him. And yet, he’s a legend in a certain section of the scented demimonde for a few achievements so innovative he wouldn’t yield them even to a charismatic manipulator.
Oppenheim explores issues of attribution and artistry, credit and craftsmanship, ingenuity and disingenuousness.

“The Ghost Perfumer” is the story of a genius and a fraud.

And perhaps the greatest con in the history of luxury retail.

Read Here: https://mindof-books.blogspot.com/?book=1739218515

SMALL SIZE 

Breezes of the Elect is a new collection of classical qaṣā’id, finely translated and beautifully designed.
All poems consist of Arabic script, English translation and transliteration.

Containing:

The Burdah

The Muḍariyyah

The Muḥammadiyyah

The Shimmering Light

Collection of 63 Qaṣā’id 

Introduction and full title of the book by Ḥabīb Kāẓim as-Saqqāf

Intentions of the Munshid (singer of praise) by Ḥabīb ʿUmar b. Ḥafīẓ

Intentions of the Drummer

Intentions of the Gathering

Closing Dua

Blurb by Shaikh Yaḥyā Rhodus and Shaikh Aḥmad Bābikar

Our intentions for compiling this book are to inspire an increase in love, knowledge, connection and obedience towards the Prophet ﷺ, by the comprehension of the poems through their English translations.

User-friendly text layout and design
Little or no page turning required per qaṣīda or chapter. Allowing readers to have a greater distraction free experience, whilst also making it easier for drum players to play. Due to the layout of the text, all the mentioned content fits into just 199 pages, making it light and usable too.
Additionally, stop signs have also been placed at the end of each qaṣīda, choruses are emboldened, and every couplet has been marked with a glyph of alternating lightness and darkness, making it easy to continually jump between chorus and verse.

New, clear English translations in easy to grasp language
We worked closely with a team of translators to help express the meanings of the qaṣā’id  in clear, easy to grasp language. Although no translation will match the original work, these translations should hopefully help the reader get a better sense of what the original author intended.

Designed to be used as a functioning songbook
We wanted to create something that would be used in gatherings, could have notes written on and marked according to the readers preference. Although much care was placed on the cover and internal design, our aim was to create something that readers would want to use and take with them on a daily basis.

Available in two sizes
An A4 version and a smaller 7”x10” version. The larger version is intended for drummers but can of course be used by anyone who prefers a larger print.


Sacred spiritual poetry is intended to soften our hearts and remind us of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. We have the opportunity through this blessed collection to resemble the Companions who recited poetry directly before our Prophet ﷺ.
May Allah Most High place abundant blessings in this endeavour and make it a means for us to experience the reality of the blessed words found in these poems.
Shaikh Yaḥyā Rhodus 

In a time where people are frantically seeking a spiritual condition through which they can live a peaceful life, the continuous distraction of a fast-paced society, together with a bombardment of technology, social media and the material leads to occupying the hearts and minds of many.
The escape route can be found in the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . However, the best way possible which requires no teaching or explanation is to listen to the poems that have been written and compiled by the scholars over many generations.
In these poems are spiritual messages that can uplift the listeners, encouraging personal growth. This collection of varied poems from different regions of the Muslim world are sang and listened to in many gatherings of the scholars and broadcast by most Islamic networks that are listened to today.
It is indeed a fantastic collection with translation and transliteration, for those who understand Arabic and those who don’t.
Shaikh Aḥmad Bābikar

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: Masks of Nyarlathotep is an epic tale of globe-trotting adventure inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, presented as a 1930s-style radio drama. Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents the tale with an absurdly large cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies. 

Like many Lovecraft fans, we played Chaosium's celebrated role playing game Call of Cthulhu.

And if you've never heard of or played the game - don't worry, you don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy this super-sized episode. The death of a dear old friend and an inquiry into a doomed archeological expedition spiral into a global investigation with dire repercussions. 

Can a handful of intrepid investigators make a stand against an insidious and bloodthirsty cult? Can a diabolical conspiracy be thwarted before a doomsday plan comes to fruition? Is there any hope for mankind against the machinations of an Elder God or will they meet only despair, death and madness?

Aurelia Peterson has always been the rock of her family. Daughter, cousin, sister, mom. She used to be a wife too, but that ended violently, leaving Aurelia with mobility issues and trauma that haunts her dreams.

All Aurelia wants is to raise her son, Tobey. She is not looking for love, especially when she made the wrong choice the first time around. Unfortunately, Pack Stone didn’t get that memo.

Physical therapy sessions aren’t nearly as grueling now that Pack Stone has barreled into her life and Aurelia starts to wonder if all those romances that she’s read aren’t so impossible for her after all.

Colt, Christa, Hideo, and Wilder are living a life that others could only dream of. After the success of his private security business, Colt wants to dedicate his time to supporting athletes on their way to greatness—as long as it doesn’t get in the way of raising his son.

It’s not long before Colt’s packmate, Wilder, starts to grow closer to the pretty omega with sad eyes during her physical therapy appointments. Pack Stone has always been too busy for an omega, especially one so resistant to romance.

As they become more entangled with Aurelia and her sweet little boy, Pack Stone must face monsters from Aurelia’s past for any hope of a future together.

Breaking the Ice is a MMFFM why choose romance featuring MM, FF, and MF situations. This story is not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Please check the full list of triggers before reading.

EPUB The Protocol That Kills: A TRUE CRIME STORY

Read Here: https://mindofbook.blogspot.com/?book=B0C1J3DDHS

The Protocol That Kills is the most exhaustive exposé ever written on a government-incentivized protocol that has led to the deaths of untold numbers of innocent and unsuspecting people of all ages. It is a sinister regimen that includes isolation, heavy medication, starvation, intubation, and ventilation—which results in a one-way ticket to the morgue.

This emotional and disturbing true crime story provides a firsthand account of this diabolical and malevolent protocol in operation. It describes how the protocol was immediately implemented when an otherwise strong and healthy 52-year-old former Army helicopter pilot (Rob Skiba) was diagnosed with COVID-19 by the admitting hospital.

At the hands of “the protocol,” a valiant Army veteran who had sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, fell victim to a domestic enemy within forty days.

After being intimidated and shouted at over the phone the day after her husband’s arrival at the hospital by a physician who was standing by his bedside insisting her husband would die if he would not agree to be intubated and placed on a ventilator, his wife (Sheila Skiba) decided to record all future conversations with doctors, nurses, and hospital staff—as allowed by Texas Penal Code, Section 16.02, Paragraph (c)(3)(A).

Following his death, his widow (Sheila) and the co-authors spent countless hours analyzing the 40 days of recorded conversations, the transcripts of which appear in the book. They also conducted a comprehensive review of the over 5,000 pages of her husbands’ hospital records, many of which are included in the book, along with detailed notations that show how flagrant biases, willful negligence, malicious intent, and harmful therapies led to her husband’s needless death.

She also employed an American Board of Internal Medicine Certified Internist and Assistant Professor of Medicine (ret) at Loma Linda University School of Medicine who has provided expert opinions and testimonies on well over a hundred cases over the past 30 years and has given multiple presentations on Medical Malpractice, Patient Safety, Cognitive Bias, and Diagnostic Errors. His troubling analysis and Causes of Actions against the culpable parties also appear in the book.

Furthermore, this harrowing narrative features the invaluable and timely insights of a quasi-legal counsel who provides "the story behind the story." The counsel provides a wealth of crucial details and evidence—including over 100 citations from clinical studies, medical journals, federal regulations, and relevant books and articles—that prove the victim did not die of natural causes but due to the perpetrators’ insistence that he follow the mandated and inhumane “protocol that kills.”

American citizens have far too long been the victims of medical tyranny in the name of Covid. In her well-documented book, Sheila clearly details the appalling circumstances surrounding her husband’s untimely and unnecessary death. While honoring the memory of a great man, Rob Skiba, she shares a wealth of critical insights that will greatly aid in preventing future needless losses of life.
Richard Bartlett, MD

The Protocol that Kills tragically and accurately portrays the accounts given to me by families of patients in hospitals for the last two and a half years. If the Covid Protocol is the supposed “standard of care,” then we are listening to the wrong “experts.” Jerri Lynn Ward, J.D.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. This unsettling and compellingly-written true crime story will break your heart and open your eyes to a disturbing truth—a truth you must be aware of so you and those you love can avoid becoming unfortunate victims of "the protocol."

He expects tonight's flight to be another long and boring one with too much bad coffee, but a cold-blooded psychopath who calls himself Lancelot has recruited a cunning "fixer," a dirty federal agent, and a ruthless assassin in a deadly plot to steal the cargo. And when the airliner suddenly disappears from radar, Dex is thrown into a terrifying world of hijack, sabotage, kidnap, and murder.

Vowing to avenge her father’s fate, she joins up with Dex who is hell-bent on getting the stolen cargo back.

As the assassin closes in on them, Dex and Marci race to catch the culprits. And unbeknownst to everyone except Lancelot, something else is on the plane that he'll do anything to get—even if it means killing his own accomplices. (Novel is approximately 300 pages.)

Read Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX

Read Here: https://mindof-books.blogspot.com/?book=0062979981

“A colorful page-turner.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review

“As important a book on space as has ever been written.” —Homer Hickam, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rocket Boys

The dramatic inside story of the historic flights that launched SpaceX—and Elon Musk—from a shaky start-up into the world’s leading-edge rocket company.

SpaceX has enjoyed a miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space race it is private companies, led by SpaceX, standing alongside NASA, pushing forward into the cosmos, and laying the foundation for our exploration of other worlds.

But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace industry, SpaceX was a fledgling start-up, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. SpaceX had fewer than 200 employees and the relative pittance of $100 million in the bank.

In Liftoff, Eric Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica, takes readers inside the wild early days that made SpaceX. Focusing on the company’s first four launches of the Falcon 1 rocket, he charts the bumpy journey from scrappy underdog to aerospace pioneer. We travel from company headquarters in El Segundo, to the isolated Texas ranchland where they performed engine tests, to Kwajalein, the tiny atoll in the Pacific where SpaceX launched the Falcon 1. Berger has reported on SpaceX for more than a decade, enjoying unparalleled journalistic access to the company’s inner workings. Liftoff is the culmination of these efforts, drawing upon exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk. The enigmatic Musk, who founded the company with the dream of one day settling Mars, is the fuel that propels the book, with his daring vision for the future of space.

Filled with never-before-told stories of SpaceX’s turbulent beginning, Liftoff is a saga of cosmic proportions.

EPUB Notes from Underground and the Double (Penguin Classics)

Read Here: https://mindofbook.blogspot.com/?book=0140455124

Collected here in Penguin Classics are two of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's shorter works, Notes from Underground and The Double, translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Robert Louis Jackson. Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky's groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'anthill' of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence 'underground'. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who looks exactly like him - his double, perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly tragicomic study of human consciousness. Ronald Wilks's extraordinary new translation is accompanied here by an introduction by Robert Louis Jackson discussing these pivotal works in the context of Dostoyevsky's life and times. This edition also contains a chronology, bibliography, table of ranks and notes on each work. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was born in Moscow. From 1849-54 he lived in a convict prison, and in later years his passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His other works available in Penguin Classics include Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot and Demons. If you enjoyed Notes from Underground and The Double, you might like Dostoyevsky's Demons, also available in Penguin Classics. 'Notes from Underground, with its mood of intellectual irony and alienation, can be seen as the first modern novel ... That sense of meaninglessness of existence that runs through much of twentieth-century writing - from Conrad and Kafka, to Beckett and beyond - starts in Dostoyevsky's work' Malcolm Bradbury
