HallOriginally published in 1926, this short book focused on the symbolism surrounding the ancient patriarch Melchizedek serves as a concise introduction to important imperceptible truths."The elaborate rituals of the ancient Mysteries and the simpler ceremonials of modern religious institutions had a common purpose.

The pages which follow will be devoted to an interpretation of some of these allegories according to the doctrine of the ancient seers and sages."
Melhor como uma memoria (Começar de Novo Dois #2)
by Dawn BrowerBelle passou a mão pela saia do vestido de coquetel preto. O salão de festas do hotel onde o evento de arrecadação de fundos estava sendo realizado estava decorado em alto estilo. Ela odiava esses eventos que seus pais insistiam que ela comparecesse. Seu pai, Wentworth Brennan, era um senador dos Estados Unidos. Ela se acostumou a assistir aos eventos tediosos no início de sua vida. Isso não significava que ela crescesse e gostasse deles. Este não seria diferente de nenhum dos outros. “Olá, querida.” Sua mãe, Adria Brennan, inclinou-se e beijou sua bochecha. “Estou feliz que você tenha participado esta noite. O trabalho tem mantido você ocupada demais para nos fazer uma visita?” Ela fez uma careta com o tom condescendente de sua mãe. Adria não aprovava sua ocupação. Belle trabalhava como médica de emergência no hospital local de Castleberry. Isso a mantinha ocupada e ela amava a constante descarga de adrenalina envolvida. Ela não podia imaginar fazer outra coisa. Sua mãe achava que estava abaixo dela. Não era ser uma médica a que ela se opunha. Era não ter uma médica de prestígio na família. Belle tinha uma posição baixa no hospital sem qualquer ambição real de subir para um nível mais alto. Uma especialidade diferente teria sido melhor, outra coisa senão uma cirurgiã geral. Era, na mente da mãe, rude. Sua filha devia subir mais e fazer melhor. Ela veio de uma das melhores famílias e havia expectativas.
