The Fatimids: 1. The Rise of a Muslim Empire
Summary
Emerging from a period of long seclusion, in the year 909, the leader of the burgeoning community of Ismaili Shi‘i Muslims was declared the first Fatimid Imam-caliph. Abd Allah al-Mahdi founded the only sustained Shi‘i dynasty (909-1171) to rule over substantial parts of the medieval Muslim world, rivaling both the Umayyads of Spain and the Abbasids. At its peak, the Fatimid Empire extended from the Atlantic shores of North Africa, across the southern Mediterranean, and down both sides of the Red Sea, covering also Mecca and Medina. This accessible history, the first of two volumes, tells the story of the birth and expansion of the Fatimid Empire in the 10th century. Drawing upon recently available eyewitness accounts, Shainool Jiwa introduces the first four generations of Fatimid Imam-caliphs - al-Mahdi, al-Qa'im, al-Mansur, and al-Mu‘izz - as well as the people who served them and those they struggled against. Listeners are taken on a journey through the Fatimid capitals of Qayrawan, Mahdiyya, and Mansuriyya and on to the founding of Cairo. In this lively and comprehensive introduction, we discover various milestones in Fatimid history and the political and cultural achievements that continue to resonate today. Dr. Shainool Jiwa is a senior faculty member at the Institute of Ismaili Studies, London. As a specialist on the Fatimids, she has written and lectured extensively on medieval Islamic history and has edited and translated key medieval Arabic texts relating to Fatimid history, including The Founder of Cairo (2013) and Towards a Shi'i Mediterranean Empire (2009). Dr. Jiwa is also the co-editor of The Shi‘i World: Pathways in Tradition and Modernity (2015).

Calm & Bright: A Clean and Sweet Christian Romance in Idaho at Christmas
Summary
Even a matchmaking grandmother and an adorable four-year-old might not be enough to help this couple reunite! This Christmas, Brad Hughes hopes he can convince his ex-wife Maddie he's not the unreliable, workaholic charmer she married young and then divorced. They'll be together over the holidays, for the sake of their four-year-old son. But what chance do they have of becoming a family again, when she can't leave the tiny Idaho lakeside community she grew up in, and he's a city boy through and through. Can they allow God to heal their broken marriage and broken hearts before his career tears them apart again? I adore Christmas! Yummy food, fairy lights, decorating the tree, giving and receiving gifts - the big kid in me delights in all that! Plus it's a time for family, faith, and love - all things that mean a lot to me. And they're all important elements of my new novella Calm & Bright, too. It's a story of finding a home, a second chance at love, and the greatest gift of all - the gift of a second chance with God. This is a story I've wanted to write since my spring release in 2015, Forget Paris. Brad appears in it briefly, and unfortunately he's a bit of a jerk! Okay, a lot of a jerk! But I love knowing none of us is such a jerk we can't be redeemed by love and faith. That earlier story woke Brad up - that he needed to change, and in this story, God helps him find his heart's true home. This audiobook begins a new series, set in beautiful Huckleberry Lake, Idaho! Every audiobook is a complete romance, following a different couple through the trials and joys of a developing love, deepening their faith in the process, until they're ready for the happy-ever-after God has planned for them. Includes a bonus recipe! I've enjoyed writing this story so much! And I hope you'll enjoy listening to it, too.

Stopping Kidney Disease & Renal Diet Cookbook
Summary
You are a step away from learning how to combat kidney disease with the renal diet! Being diagnosed with kidney disease can make you feel alone, like your world is crumbling down and as if you are doomed and your only savior is a kidney transplant. It can feel like you’ve been handed a death sentence and that you are going to be all alone in solitary confinement for the rest of your life. However, did you know that over 30 million people in the United States suffer from chronic kidney disease? Did you know that of the 30 million people, millions have been able to live fairly normal lives despite their condition? This is not in any way meant to invalidate how you feel but to show you that you are not alone in this and being diagnosed with kidney disease does not have to feel like a death sentence. When kidney disease is diagnosed early, you do not have to rely on dialysis and a transplant; you can actually get relief by simply changing your diet.

This is not meant to scare you but to boost your resolve to do something about your kidneys because it is possible to boost the functioning of your kidneys through implementing different strategies. I know you are probably wondering: Can a change of diet really address my kidney problems? What can I eat to restore the functioning of my kidneys? Are there foods that I should avoid to avoid aggravating kidney disease? Is there any other thing I need to change other than my diet to address my kidney problems?
