The Algorithm of Us

Image
    The Algorithm of Us Maya Lin believes in data—not destiny. As the lead algorithm engineer behind HeartSpark, the world’s most successful dating app, her entire job revolves around proving that love can be measured, calculated, and optimized. But after a humiliating breakup goes viral, her company’s reputation—and her confidence—take a devastating hit, leaving Maya convinced that love, at least for her, is something better solved with science than trust. Enter Eli Torres, charismatic host of the internet’s favorite podcast, The Anti-Love Experiment. His mission? Prove dating apps manipulate emotions and ruin authentic relationships. And HeartSpark is his No. 1 target. When Eli launches a public challenge encouraging listeners to date without algorithms, HeartSpark panics. To repair the company’s reputation, Maya is forced to work closely with Eli—publicly and professionally—putting the face behind the algorithm directly in the path of its loudest critic. What begins as da...

Spaces of Existence Volume Two Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be

Image
          Spaces of Existence Volume Two Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be By Dr. Arnold Thompson The spaces we inhabit do more than surround us—they quietly teach us who we are becoming. Spaces of Existence Volume Two: Understanding Who We Are – Getting to Who We Want to Be  opens as both map and meditation, inviting readers into a world where earth, memory, faith, suffering, choice, history, and human relationships are not separate subjects but interconnected “spaces” pressing in on the soul. Dr. Arnold Thompson frames existence as a series of influences moving from the outside in—what he calls a kind of “gravity”—asking how land, environment, culture, knowledge, pain, family, fear, hope, and belief all help form the inner self. The result is not a linear argument so much as an unfolding landscape of thought, where theology meets lived experience and personal memory expands into a much larger meditation on being human. The atmosphere...

Spaces of Existence Volume One Understanding Life and Living It

        Spaces of Existence Volume One Understanding Life and Living It By Dr. Arnold Thompson Exploring the Universe Within: A Thought-Provoking Journey Into the Spaces That Define Us What if understanding the universe wasn’t just about telescopes and physics—but about imagination, inner awareness, and divine truth? In Spaces of Existence Vol. 1: Understanding Life and Living It, Dr. Arnold O. Thompson offers an extraordinary exploration of the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual “spaces” that shape human experience. With a foundation rooted deeply in biblical truth, this volume dares to answer age-old questions about who we are, who we’re becoming, and how we should live in a universe we barely understand. Dr. Thompson challenges modern assumptions, urging us to examine not just the world around us, but the profound, often overlooked dimensions within. Drawing from Scripture, science, and four decades of conceptual modeling, he presents a deeply theological and i...

Best of Friends Trilogy

Image
      Best of Friends Trilogy Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control?

God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls

Image
      God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls God Made Me from Spare Parts  is a collection of whimsical, modern parables that unfold between dream and reality—where spiritual fiction meets emotional truth, and answers rarely arrive as expected.  A troubled narrator calls out to God for guidance and meets a disarmingly human deity who reframes mortality, self-worth, and distress with warmth and unexpected humor. A God who laughs. A God who crashed his plane when he was young. A God who doesn’t fix everything, but sits beside you. Written while grieving his father's death and stranded far from home, each of Tji’s parables offers a short meditation on fear, love, loss, faith, and the struggles of everyday life. With touching stories and striking illustrations, the book invites readers to pause, reflect, and see their own lives with refreshed compassion and clarity. Ideal for spiritual seekers, contemplative readers, and anyone looking for encou...

The Apathetical Man

Image
  The Apathetical Man  By Gregory M. McLeod Imagine waking up inside your own life and realizing you have been moving through it without truly understanding why you are suffering, choosing, or even surviving. The Apathetical Man unfolds as a deeply personal spiritual reckoning shaped by pain, addiction, mental illness, and a desperate search for meaning. Its world is not built from fantasy landscapes or external spectacle, but from rehab rooms, inner battles, prayers uttered at the edge of collapse, and the long, difficult road back from self-destruction. The atmosphere is raw and confessional, filled with the urgency of someone who has looked at his own life and understood that change is no longer optional. Early on, the narrator frames life itself as a matter of “understanding,” then ties that idea to a near-death confrontation with addiction and the need to choose a different path before it is too late. A powerful, soul-baring testimony of redemption, The Apathetical Man re...
