Synopsis

Hieronymus Bosch was painting frightening, yet vaguely likable monsters long before computer games were ever invented, often including a touch of humour. His works are assertive statements about the mental illness that befalls any man who abandons the teachings of Christ. With a life that spanned from 1450 to 1516, Bosch experienced the drama of the highly charged Renaissance and its wars of religion. Medieval tradition and values were crumbling, paving the way to thrust man into a new universe where faith lost some of its power and much of its magic. Bosch set out to warn doubters of the perils awaiting any and all who lost their faith in God. His favourite allegories were heaven, hell, and lust. He believed that everyone had to choose between one of two options: heaven or hell. Bosch brilliantly exploited the symbolism of a wide range of fruits and plants to lend sexual overtones to his themes, which author Virginia Pitts Rembert meticulously deciphers to provide readers with new insight into this fascinating artist and his works.

    My name’s Deckhard, and I am a Gay Runner. It’s 2033 and the U.N. controls all under the Sun. I quit being a fool cop, but the Boss Bryan orders me not to stop. 
    He puts out my pic on the Google Glasses and software. I’m like Visa or the NWO everywhere. I tried to run down to Mero (Mexico) but it is now part of NAFTA so no obla Espanol. 
    My job is to make adult males turn Gay. If they don’t, it’s a fine and second offense it is 25 to Life. The NWO orders no reproduction, and sends cops like me to apprehend Republicans. We are now in the throes of the NWO or New World Organization. All religions, political parties, and legal laws are gone. The World or what is left of it wears an RFID (Radio Frequency In fared Device). 
    The web is now micro chipped controlled. If you enter terms like sex in Google, it becomes a crime under thought control.  Your hand chip is regulated by DHS (Department of Homo Security). If you think a woman looks good, you better be one. The new internet or Google berg is like the first version. 
    My first case involves a 40 year old male named Mark. He has a wife and three kids who is keep in the dark. Yet now the Political Commissars want him to strap on a G-string and a wig to be a Gay flavor. His obese diabetic condition is no longer a waiver. So in the middle of the night, I came to take him away like one of those scenes from Ben-Hur.

    Many people have a special bond with animals, but few have the ability to understand the innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires of different creatures. Author Tim Link is one such individual - a man blessed with the ability to communicate with animals telepathically. 
    In this audiobook, the author details some of his most dramatic and moving encounters with the animal kingdom. From helping a lost cat find her way home to comforting a Catalan sheepdog after back surgery, Link shares stories that are both entertaining and heartfelt. A full-time animal communicator and a Reiki energy healer for animals, Link has never failed to reach an animal, even if that animal has transitioned to the next world. In these dramatic and moving stories, Link describes how he communicates with animals, not only in words, but also through feelings, smells, tastes, emotions, and images. By building powerful intuitive connections with other species, Link has transformed the lives of numerous animals and the people who care for them. His stories will transform the lives of listeners as well, as they learn to open their minds and hearts to all creatures great and small. 
    Whether it's a story of joy, loneliness, or redemption, every animal has a tale, and Tim Link has brought magically resonant tales to life in this powerful collection of stories.
