This book is the first book written by Omega Ministry, the reason why it is called the "Messenger of Time and Space" series because it was inspired by visions and dreams that I received—entirely from the Heavenly Father.Sometime back in 2012, a prophet named Patricia in Toronto prophesied about writing a book, saying that it would be revealed to the world. However, it wasn't until ten years later that I began writing. “Who Is Battling for Earth—The Clash of Spiritual Warfare” is the first book of the “Messenger of Time and Space” series.I never knew that in another dimension, another time and space, Someone had been watching, observing, protecting, and silently loving me all along, guarding me secretly. My life, which was nothing but a speck of dust among the multitudes, like a drop of water in the ocean—ordinary and unremarkable—became legendary due to Someone's intervention.How our story began – one day my world collided with His, and at a certain point in time, He (God) crossed time

這是屬於一位媽媽的故事，關於自我追尋，也關於陪伴與愛。如果你也曾在某個瞬間懷疑過自己、想重新出發，或渴望與至親共走一段不同以往的路，這本書，或許能為你點亮一盞溫柔的燈。What if life gave you more than one first chance?At 52, I packed up my dreams and left everything familiar behind, setting out for a new life of study abroad. This journey wasn’t about chasing titles or ticking off achievements — it was about answering a quiet call from within: to love more bravely, to live more fully.This is the story of a mother learning to stand beside her daughter — and herself — with deeper compassion. If you’ve ever longed to start again, doubted your own courage, or simply needed a reminder that dreams don’t expire with age, this book was written for you.Step into my journey — and perhaps, into a braver version of your own.Cinnie是個看不出年紀的神秘女人，身上同時具備天真好奇與世故洞察兩個相反特質，有種把世界當成大遊樂場的開放心態，造就這本獨一無二的作品。讀者可以把本書當成求學遊記，你會看到她們在異國文化差異裡苦中作樂，也會看到她們在孤單環境中的堅韌和努力，細品她們對待每一縷溫暖善意的感恩，更會看到一位媽媽對孩子最深刻、最廣袤、無邊無際的永恆親情。這是一本為了女兒才存在的書，而我們何其有幸，得以透過Cinnie的細膩觀察和溫柔文字，一起進入這個讓人跟著劇情心情起伏跌宕，又哭又笑的幸福時空中。——鄧心彤（耕己出版總編輯）

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

For this special issue on “New Generation Women's Fiction from Taiwan,” we have specially invited Professor Lee Kuei Yun of the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Literature at Taiwan's Tsing Hua University to be guest editor and take responsibility for the selections. Because of space limitations it has been possible only to select twelve short stories by eleven woman writers. These writers were all born in the 1970s or later and their works were published in the year 2000 or later. Thus, they represent a period of social change in twenty-first century Taiwan and the spirit of the new generation. The introduction that we asked Professor Lee to provide is entitled “Trauma, esire, Contemporary Women's Voices.” Aside from giving a brief account of the eleven writers and their works, Professor Lee sketches “a number of writerly qualities that become perceptible… [that] represent the internal trauma, female consciousness, physical lust, cat-uman metaphors, and everyday life, etc.” In her introdu

Implant dentistry has grown enormously in popularity during the last few decades and is heralded as a revolutionary breakthrough in improving patient quality of life. Nevertheless, many clinicians have neglected to adequately consider the biologic complications that may occur over time and that can lead to implant failure. Peri-implantitis is the foremost complication that everyone wants to avoid, but there is neither one etiology nor one common solution for peri-implantitis. This timely publication bolsters the armamentarium of implant clinicians in understanding peri-implantitis and how to treat it. In this book, surgical and prosthodontic thought leaders share their methods ranging from prevention to regeneration, offering practical information to make the decision between saving the implant or removing it as well as how to avoid peri-implantitis in the first place. 1,800 illustrations.
