LIFE ON EARTH IS FAR FROM PERFECT. THAT'S WHY ELDERS OF THE PLANET OGAN, A PERFECT world populated by intelligent trees, have sent Ogos there. His mission is simple; eradicate pain and misery. From his landing spot in a city park, Ogos watches the world go by; creating a zone of peace and comfort around him that touches everyone who steps into his cool shade. A group of park-goers adore the tree that never wilts, and they find themselves consistently drawn to Ogos, who has the power to cure their minds and their bodies. It seems that Ogos can cure everything, from homelessness to illness. But there is one thing that Ogos does not have the power to change, and that is his own isolation, for as a tree, he cannot experience the same life as his newfound friends. On this new, imperfect planet, how can Ogos make a difference and be truly happy? So, he found a way to become human. This is a story about kindness, about selflessness, and togetherness in a world that insists on the opposite.

Now is the time to employ the 'critical theory.' If we were taught that we cannot change the world, maybe together we can! There may be times when un-learning something can be as important as learning something new. The old cliche', "like father like son" may not necessarily be true. Always study your Bible, and alw...

The Messiahship of the Lord, following the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon in the Divine Principle, will stimulate a meaningful conversation about the existence of the Messiah and his importance in the Second Coming.

Point of view is the most important element of story craft for any writer to understand.

That means the wise writer will learn to control her story’s point of view from word one. Fortunately for wise writers everywhere, author, writing coach, and renowned editor Alida Winternheimer takes a hands-on approach to this behemoth of story craft. In The Story Works Guide to Writing Point of View, she breaks the whole into manageable parts and delves deep, providing loads of examples that make the abstract concrete and the intangible tangible. In each chapter, Alida provides you ...
