A line of pain runs through generations of families until one generation stops to question the ancestral forces behind the door. In Life & Fable Guislaine Vincent explores archetypal patterns in the ancestral background of her familys storytelling, peeling away the layers to discover a self in myth and fable. As the narrative unfolds, its the implacable presence of childhood that recurs, not only in events, but in how events reveal the self. Mektoub, my father would say: it is written. From a great grandfather found in the deserts of Syria and named after the monastery that takes him in to the pain of losing a child; from a childhood of 14 schools across multiple countries to training as a Jungian Psychoanalyst, this is a life story that asks deep questions about who we are and how we peel back reality to find the truth in fables. A story of resilience and the epiphany of how powerful it is to have a name.

We all want to make sense of lifethe good, the painful, the miraculous. Who are we? Why are we here? What should we do with our lives? How do we hold on to hope, in a world that is both beautiful and broken? Through eight lyrical and reflective essays, one of todays most thoughtful spiritual writers Steven Garber explores the idea of the "proximate"a word from the Latin "proximatus,"to draw near. Garber invites us to draw near to the deepest realities of life and to see with greater clarity and compassionrecognizing what is true, right, and beautiful in the world, even as we see the suffering all around us. Hints of Hope probes what it means to be human; to wrestle with the contradictions we all face in our marriages, in our workplaces, in our friendships and vocations. We all experience beauty and brokenness, wonder and despair, joy and sorrow. We live with disappointment and grief and pain . . . wanting more, expecting more, but never being completely fulfilled. Paradoxically, as we make peace with the proximate, our vision is expanded to see more clearly the glimmers of beauty and grace that thread their way through our lives. Garber suggests that those hints of hope are enough in this frail world of ours, "a world stretched taut between what is and what someday will be."Written in memoir form, Hints of Hope weaves together decades of Garbers travels, teaching, and personal musings to offer a tapestry of wisdom on vocation, culture, faith, and hope. Readers of Wendell Berry, Parker Palmer, Marilyn McEntyre, Philip Yancey, and Frederick Buechner will find a rich, soul-nourishing feast within these pages.

Compliance is not consent. It is command.In NOW, FUCK MY FACE! PART 2: COMPLIANCE, Cassian Ward pushes deeper into a world where power is exercised through ritualized obedience, controlled humiliation, and the erotic stripping away of autonomy.Across eleven intense, self-contained stories, professionals, subordinates, and authority figures are drawn into situations where submission is tested, enforced, and rewarded. Corporate offices, private cars, gyms, churches, museums, and boardrooms become stages for ruthless power exchanges where control is absolute and resistance is meaningless.This collection is not about romance or equality.It is about hierarchy, command, and the dark erotic charge of being reduced to function.Written in a sharp, cinematic style, PART 2: COMPLIANCE explores:Forced obedience masked as procedureAuthority weaponized as protocolSexual acts framed as audits, inspections, and certificationsCharacters who submit not out of weakness but ambition, fear, or desireExplicit. Dominant. Unapologetic.This book is intended for readers who seek raw power dynamics, non-romantic domination, and intense erotic control.
