Unlocking the Heart: Writing for Mindfulness, Courage, and Self-Compassion

Writing can be cathartic. It can be healing. And you do not have to be a writer to benefit from the healing and meditative effects of writing. Likewise, you do not have to be a meditator to experience the life-changing power of mindfulness and self-compassion. But sometimes, writing can be frustrating, when you can’t seem to find the way to express your feelings on paper, so that the healing can begin.

Unlocking the Heart: Writing for Mindfulness, Courage, and Self-Compassion is a book for those seeking to bring more self-care and creativity into their routines. Award-winning poet and author James Crews shares his poems with subjects ranging from vulnerability and grief to courage and gratitude. But more than just a poetry anthology, each poem is accompanied by James’s personal insight into his inspiration and state of mind when writing his poetry, and writing prompts to help inspire you get started on your writing journey. It is the perfect book for anyone who is interested in the poetic work of others or is inspired to try any kind of writing for themselves. But whether or not you want to write your own poetry, this deeply moving, and ultimately inspiring, practice in mindfulness can help bring self-compassion, courage, and creativity into your daily life.

Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s Newly Released “Divine Verses Volume 2” is a Compelling Collection of Spiritual Messages Offering Divine Insight and Guidance


New York, NY, October 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom”: a spiritually rich continuation of divine teachings. “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom” is the creation of published author, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda, a poet, songwriter, and naturopath, dedicated foremost to serving as a messenger of Jesus Christ. From his adolescent years, he explored literary arts through children’s books, poems, and songs, but following his divine calling, he has focused on recording messages from God in his writings, known as Divine Verses.

Bishop Jephthah shares, “The verse-styled publication of the messages of the Lord Jesus Christ continues with volume 2 of the Divine Verses. This volume 2 is a sequel to the first and previous publication of the Divine Verses. As the holy spirit of God continues to impart the messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, Bishop Jephthah, with the needed godly knowledge, another publication of the Divine Verses has to be born.
Like the first and previous publication, this volume is also a thorough portrayal of pure divine truths and wisdom, as it brings absolute clarity on all kinds of truths, be it truths about life, love, or God. But the ultimate truth, which is the truth about God and his Son, Lord Jesus Christ, is the main foundation of the book because it is the highest truth in existence.
For the reason that the Lord Jesus is desirous to see that everyone attains salvation, he continues to pass on his messages of truth to his messenger so that those who pay heed to them can be saved.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s new book inspires readers to deepen their understanding of God’s truth.

Consumers can purchase “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Fourth Horseman Press Releases New Book – “Sex for Dinner, Death for Breakfast: James Bond and the Body”

Fourth Horseman Press Releases New Book – “Sex for Dinner, Death for Breakfast: James Bond and the Body”


Oxford, United Kingdom, October 15, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Experience the seductive and dangerous world of Ian Fleming’s 007 through a daring new lens.

In Sex for Dinner, Death for Breakfast: James Bond and the Body, cultural critic Brian A. Dixon takes readers on an incisive exploration of one of modern culture’s most enduring icons—James Bond. Drawing on the novels, films, artwork, and advertising that have defined the Bond franchise for over seven decades, Dixon reveals how the world’s most famous secret agent became a mirror for our evolving obsessions with politics, pleasure, and violence.

From the tailored suits and shaken martinis to the extravagant villains and their exquisite methods of execution, Dixon exposes how every appetite, indulgence, and act of violence reflects our collective anxieties and desires. Bond’s adventures, he argues, are more than escapism—they are cultural performances of power, sexuality, and identity that have shaped generations of audiences and foretold social shifts long before they happened.

Through sharp analysis and a flair for storytelling, Sex for Dinner, Death for Breakfast uncovers how James Bond embodies the body politic—then, now, and in the stories that continue to unfold on screen and in print.

A must-read for fans of cultural criticism, film and literary studies, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of pop culture and ideology, Dixon’s work challenges readers to reconsider what lies beneath Bond’s iconic tuxedo and unflappable composure.

Sex for Dinner, Death for Breakfast: James Bond and the Body is now available in a hardcover edition featuring cover artwork by Marc Aspinall exclusively from Fourth Horseman Press at fourthhorsemanpress.com.
