The Tree of Life
,,In the book "The Tree of Life" we recognize the great theme of compassion that we read about in Dickens, Dostoevsky, Korolenko or Hamsun. Leo Daniel, however, finds the key that opens the door to the light. Each individual carries the key in determination to reach his own destination. The drama of the novel is the real-life drama. Hence the excitement while reading ,,The Tree of Life" and thus the conviction with which we leave after closing the last page of the book that we are sprinkled with the immense grace if we want to fight for what belongs to us."Dragoljub Kojcich, philosopher
Holiness and Power
The book examines the origins, development, and the role of the monastic movement in the capital of Byzantium. It was in the 5th century that a certain pattern of the functioning of monastic circles evolved within the specific framework of the ecclesiastical structures of Constantinople, which was a political and ecclesiastical centre of the Eastern Roman Empire. The bulk of the book is devoted to an analysis of the written accounts of the lives of the four Constantinopolitan holy men: Hypatios, Alexander Akoimetos, Daniel the Stylite, and Markellos Akoimetos. The analysis proves that the model of relationship between the holy man and the secular authority would change less than the one betw...

Leo Tolstoy
This book is a collection of 198 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Leo Tolstoy. It grants his reflections on subjects ranging from Love to God: "All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love." "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." "One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken." "If you want to be happy, be." "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, and look around you." "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." "The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good." "To get rid of an enemy one must love him." "Everything intelligent is so boring." "Every heart has its own skeletons." "If you look for perfection, you'll never be content."
The Awakening
New graduate John Barrson’s first field mission ends in tragedy, when he sacrifices himself to save the life of a fellow agent in the Earth’s Planetary Atmospheric Protection Society, only to find he’s been “resurrected” in a new body, with his memories downloaded and intact. John meets his saviors, the Curators - an alien race controlling the faraway artificial planet called the Library. The Curators created the Library a billion years ago to record and preserve knowledge from all known species in the galaxy, using recruits called Watchers. Upon awakening, John is given the choice between becoming a Library Watcher or death. John reluctantly begins his training among aliens from various worlds, but when conflict erupts between the Curators and the Departed, a splinter Library faction, he is drawn into the fray as an unwilling pawn. Torn between what he knows is right and what the Curators’ rigid rules of non-interventionism allow, John takes matters into his own hands and brings together a team that, against all odds, tries to find a way to thwart the Departed’s plan for murder on a planetary scale.
Magic Stories
While I was reading the book I imagined a writer with a grey beard, in his late years, a man soaked in the experience in the zenith of his life. I couldn't get rid of the impression that the writer was a man in his thirties. There remains a mystery how he has accumulated so much life experience with so little years? The book is phenomenal. I didn't expect anything less than phenomenal.P.Stipanovich, Spydeberg, Norway Once you go into reading this unusual book, it would be hard for you to be able to resist it. A provocative and instructive book in which the writer skillfully avoids theorizing. While letting us feel the atmosphere and the way of life of his characters, their loves, fears and sorrows, he leads us to recognize people around us and ourselves in their life stories. Leo Daniel's book exudes self-confidence, narrative bravura and courage. S.Radivojevich, Beograd, SerbiaIt gave me goose bumps. The book creates tension and anticipation... I don't have the exact words. It's perfectly written. I can't wait for the next one. The material is striking; it leaves such a strong impression, it simply left me speechless...Lidija Bajich, Halmstad, Sweden
Sold To A Billionaire
This is book 1 of Sold To A Billionaire. "Please, don't do this, I have a husband... I am married" Ash begged with her joined hands while walking backward. Tears streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision. In a snap, his handsome face contorted in distaste and his eyes lost all their warmth. "Not tonight! Tonight you are mine. And ONLY MINE," he paced towards her like a predator. "Michael...Michael..." Ash shouted her husband's name as her back hit the cold wall. He started caressing her cheek with his knuckles. He leaned forward and whispered in her ears "he has sold you to me, for tonight. So, tonight the only name you are allowed to take is mine. And believe me, angel, I'll make sure you scream my name while I'll do things to you that I have been wanting to do with you since the moment I saw you" He said in his raspy voice. He had been imagining this moment since the day he had laid his eyes on her. And finally, he got her. Daniel slammed his bow-shaped hungry lips on her soft plumpy ones just after finishing his sentence. She squeezed her eyes shut letting tears tumble out.
Brood of Angels
In a time before kings, an old prophecy ignites the lust for power. Daniel Of Eagles has been ordered to partner with Ariel, a beautiful full-blooded angel, and a band of winged fighters to find the last of the chosen children. Traveling to unknown places of horror, their mission turns deadly as they battle shape-shifters, ghastly demons, dragons and other creatures from the darkness hell-bent on world domination. As evil consumes the realms, Daniel, his friends, and the fate of the Norophim is cloaked in betrayal, chaos, and a shocking discovery that leaves the unanswered questions: Who is Daniel and how will the Brood of Angels endure?
Fact Proposition Event
`Peterson is an authority of a philosophical and linguistic industry that began in the 1960s with Vendler's work on nominalization. Natural languages distinguish syntactically and semantically between various sorts of what might be called `gerundive entities' - events, processes, states of affairs, propositions, facts, ... all referred to by sentence nominals of various kinds. Philosophers have worried for millennia over the ontology of such things or `things', but until twenty years ago they ignored all the useful linguistic evidence. Vendler not only began to straighten out the distinctions, but pursued more specific and more interesting questions such as that of what entities the causalit...
Beauty for Ashes
Dear Reader, Why do ordinary, intelligent, and loving women end up having abortions or putting their own child in foster care? The author did both. This is her story as told through a series of letters from the heart to all her children.
