"So Savenius is more powerful than Amenek-Ra?" "Oh yes," said Billy flat. "As Justin said, he is the Prince of gods." "Prince of gods," repeated Christian. "Prince of the Universe." He turned to Kalif. "Which one is more powerful?" General Falcon woke up from his blank daze. "That brings us to the Destiny of the Mythaeon. For it is his task to fight and destroy Savenius." The two boys from Earth turned to Justin, who answered their unspoken question. "These words came into existence after Lord Celonce and Savenius had vanished. It was joined to the Promise of the Mythaeon, saying: There will be a boy one day, who will rule the Realm in the Savus as the Prince of the Universe." Philip and Christian turned at the same time to Kalif. He did not feel like smiling, but did it anyway. "Nice future, don't you think?" "Great," said Christian sarcastic. "Don't you have a say in what you want to do? Aren't you afarid?" asked Philip. Kalif wanted to laugh, but did not make it. "That is the wonderful thing about destiny. My feelings towards everything have hardly any meaning, but they are far beyond fear."
The statistics speak for themselves; record numbers of individuals who at one time identified as Christians are deconverting from the faith and identifying as unbelievers. Why is this happening and what can be done to prevent it? A Recipe for Disaster seeks to answer those questions by focusing on the four ways churches and parents unwittingly contribute to the deconversion process. By over-preparing, under-preparing, ill-preparing, and painfully preparing those they are responsible to disciple into mature believers, churches and parents instead set them up for a crisis of faith that all too often leads to the loss of faith. In response to each of the four methods of poor preparation, A Recipe for Disaster offers a recipe for success, four alternative methods of preparation designed to instill lifelong faith.

Christian Roberts is a 19-year old art student who is attracted to his 36-year old humanities professor, a statuesque French beauty named Solange Doucette. A chance meeting between the two at school late one night sets them on a trajectory that seals their destiny. After their first night together they realize there is a deep, mystical connection between them that transcends their age difference. After an enlightening sojourn at a Tantric Yoga ashram in India, Solange convinces Christian to move to her family's villa outside Paris. With Christian attending art school in Paris and making a name for himself as a sculptor of functional art, and Solange now expecting their first child, it seems that a happy, fulfilling life is assured for the unlikely couple, despite Solange's nagging fears that life is a tenuous thread. Then, one day, the thread snaps and their idyllic existence is forever upended by a catastrophic event that no one ever saw coming - except, perhaps, Solange, but she was powerless to stop it.
The World of Ibn ṭufayl consists of ten essays by scholars in different fields in Arab-Islamic studies on Ibn ṭufayl's ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, one of the most extraordinary works of medieval Arabic literature, and a text with important dimensions in social and intellectual history, literature, mysticism, philosophy, medicine and science. Most of the essays were presented at a groundbreaking conference at the Wellcome Institute in London, which marked the first attempt at a critical assessment of any medieval Arabic text by drawing together scholars from widely varying fields. The studies cast light on numerous aspects of social and intellectual life in North Africa and Spain in medieval Islamic times, and explore important aspects of the textual intercommunication between author and audience.
