Quote:
He shifted on his heel, looking down the hall behind him and then back at her. “Volkov is protected by old magick,” he told her. “It’s long been a sanctuary to my clan. To me.”
Gwen’s little smile fell away, and she slowly came up to stand in front of him, her chest fluttering. “It’s beautiful,” she told him, hoping he could sense how much she meant it. “I see why you like being here so much.”
His expression was steeled, but there was a touch of something in his eyes. “It’s not what you were expecting?”
She smirked sheepishly. “No. I get now why you got so annoyed when I called it spooky.”
Sirus’s gaze held on her face for a moment before he turned to continue down the hall. “We do get bats on occasion,” he confessed without even a hint of humor.
Gwen couldn’t help but smile as she followed behind him. Per usual, she couldn’t tell if he was being serious or funny. “How fitting,” she retorted with amusement, deciding she found it funny whether he’d intended it or not. “Then maybe it is a little spooky,” she teased.

The Path to God’s Promise by Ahuva Batya Scharff
If God asked you to become a prophet, would you? Would your answer change if you knew that to do so you would face ridicule, derision, and ostracism from your community? What if the possible outcome was to save humankind?
That’s precisely what was asked of Elinor Simentov in “The Path to God’s Promise.” An ordinary, and perhaps broken, Jewish women, Elinor is asked to serve as a prophet, to warn humankind of the coming disasters related to climate change.
Elinor balks. As God tries to convince her of the value of His command, she is taken through wonderful historic events and potential disastrous futures. From the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt to a tsunami in the Pacific, Elinor experiences human and planetary events as few can.
Elinor is also shown her personal history. She looks at and re-experiences her past, creating an opportunity for healing. Elinor acknowledges the horror of early childhood trauma and her decision to recover from alcoholism, making meaning of events that once overwhelmed her.
“The Path to God’s Promise” is the chronicle of a Jewish woman’s epic journey of self-discovery and a call to each of us to look not only at our life’s path, but that of our planet.
