Sifted Like Wheat in Silo Country Shares a Supernatural Journey of Faith and Endurance
Dawn Baxley’s powerful memoir to be featured at the Frankfurt International Book Fair at the Explora Books’ booth
Sifted Like Wheat in Silo Country: A Journey Like None Other by Dawn Baxley is a powerful and relevant story of tenacity, spiritual insight, and miraculous transformation that comes at a time of increasing personal adversity and global instability. This enthralling book will be on display at the Explora Books stand at the Frankfurt International Book Fair, giving readers everywhere with a front-row ticket to an intensely personal yet globally relatable trip.
Baxley’s memoir details her supernatural walk through adversity, beginning with feelings of abandonment and brokenness and evolving into a witness of hope, faith, and divine intervention. She challenges readers to consider their individual challenges in the context of a greater mission by use of captivating narratives and uncompromising candor.
The book is a spiritually charged exploration of the trials she faced, including harrowing experiences within the Texas prison system, and the endurance it took to overcome them. But rather than focusing on suffering alone, Baxley highlights the spiritual revelations and miracles that sustained her—giving her readers not just a story of survival, but one of purpose.
“I was carried all this way like a river running through my failures,” Baxley writes. “Though at times, I felt abandoned… it required someone much, much greater to be in control.” That “someone” becomes the heartbeat of her testimony as she leads readers through a supernatural battle for the soul that transforms pain into purpose.
The memoir also doubles as a guide for those facing overwhelming challenges in today’s world. With chapters grounded in Scripture and lived experience, Sifted Like Wheat in Silo Country is a spiritual resource for those who find themselves tested beyond what they think they can endure.
As a global intercessory missionary and student of The Center of Biblical End-Time Studies, Baxley continues her calling as an end-time messenger, equipping others to stand firm through seasons of spiritual shaking. She resides in Waco, Texas—known as Silo Country—where she lives quietly with her mother, three support dogs, and six beloved cats.
The response from readers has been deeply emotional and overwhelmingly positive. Amazon reviews praise the memoir as “miraculous and deeply touching,” with one reader calling it “the book to read” for those tested by fire. Another review affirms, “Absolutely, miraculous and deeply touching! What a living God of never-ending hope we can call out to!”
Dawn Baxley’s Sifted Like Wheat in Silo Country is now available for purchase online and will be introduced to a broader audience at one of the world’s largest literary gatherings—an extraordinary story at the crossroads of divine purpose and human perseverance.

New York, NY – 01/02/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – TCG.Zone (The Collectors Grid), a key player in the global collectibles infrastructure and ecosystem, has officially unveiled its strategic shift toward prioritizing investments in high-value, rare collectible assets. This strategic realignment underscores the company’s commitment to tapping into the long-term value and cultural significance of elite collectibles, with the recent participation in a high-profile international auction serving as a pivotal first step in this new direction.
Recently, the world’s only Pokémon card graded PSA 10 – Pikachu Illustrator – once again became a focal point of global attention across the collectibles and cultural landscape. As a long-term contributor to TCG infrastructure and the broader collectibles ecosystem, The Collectors Grid(TCG.Zone) participated in and witnessed this historically significant moment.
Recognized as one of the most iconic works in Pokémon card history, Pikachu Illustrator is distinguished not only by its extreme rarity, but also by its symbolic representation of Pokémon culture, artistic value, and generational memory.
The Legendary Status of the World’s Only PSA 10
According to publicly available information, the world’s only PSA 10 “Pikachu Illustrator” card is currently owned by Logan Paul. The card was involved in a high-profile transaction in 2022, valued at nearly USD 5.3 million, marking a defining milestone in the history of Pokémon card collecting.
The Industry Significance of Goldin Auctions
Although Logan Paul’s acquisition of the card did not take place through Goldin, the Goldin auction platform has continued to play an important role in the card’s contemporary circulation and visibility. As one of the world’s most influential high-end collectibles auction platforms, Goldin’s auction framework and the attention it generates brought renewed global focus to this legendary card, further positioning Pokémon cards within the broader mainstream collectibles market.
Netflix Documentary Captures a Cultural Moment
Amid the phenomenon-level attention generated by this card on the Goldin platform, Netflix documented the full auction process and produced a dedicated documentary. Approached from a cultural and historical perspective, the documentary highlights the unique position of Pikachu Illustrator within the modern collectibles ecosystem, elevating it beyond price alone and framing it as a lasting cultural reference.
Global Participation and TCG.Zone’s Involvement
The discussions and auction activity surrounding Pikachu Illustrator attracted participation from top collectors, institutions, and professional teams from around the world. TCG.Zone was among the active participants in the bidding process. During the auction, TCG.Zone submitted a bid of USD 5,000,000. Although the bid was ultimately surpassed by a higher offer, TCG.Zone remained deeply engaged throughout the process and witnessed this pivotal moment firsthand.
Continuing to Follow the Card’s Future Trajectory
In post-auction interviews, TCG.Zone stated that this participation does not mark an endpoint. The team will continue to closely monitor the movement and future trajectory of the world’s only PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator, and does not rule out participating again should the right opportunity arise. This event represents more than an auction. It stands as a collective reflection on rarity, cultural identity, and long-term value.
The story of Pikachu Illustrator continues to unfold,and remains an enduring chapter in the global history of Pokémon card collecting.

New Novel I Did Good, Sir by Randall N. Ross Explores Vocation, Mentorship, and the Quiet Work of Becoming
I Did Good, Sir follows Jack Reilly from his earliest encounters with mentorship through his professional formation and adult life. Set largely within veterinary practice and rural environments, the novel explores how a sensitive individual learns to navigate authority, responsibility, and self-doubt. Through a series of reflective episodes, the story examines how vocation, care, and language shape a person’s understanding of worth and direction.
United States, 1st Feb 2026 – A new work of reflective literary fiction, I Did Good, Sir by Randall N. Ross, has been released and is beginning to draw attention from readers interested in inward journeys, formative mentorship, and lives shaped by service rather than spectacle. The novel traces the emotional and spiritual development of its central character through moments of apprenticeship, loss, and moral testing, offering a restrained examination of how identity is formed over time.
Ross’s novel centers on Jack Reilly, a sensitive and observant young man whose early encounters with authority figures, animals, and responsibility leave a lasting imprint. Moving between childhood, professional training, and adulthood, the narrative follows Jack as he navigates expectations imposed by family, institutions, and mentors, while quietly attempting to listen for a more personal sense of direction. The book’s title echoes a pivotal moment in the story, a simple phrase that reflects both approval and misunderstanding, and becomes a touchstone for the novel’s broader inquiry into worth, language, and intention.
Rather than relying on dramatic plot turns, I Did Good, Sir unfolds through scenes of attention and presence. Much of the novel is set within veterinary clinics, rural landscapes, classrooms, and transitional spaces such as cabins and roadways. Animals appear not as symbols but as living beings requiring care, patience, and humility, mirroring the protagonist’s own learning curve. The work invites readers to consider how vocation can function not only as a career, but as a moral practice shaped by listening, repetition, and accountability.
Early readers have noted the novel’s measured pace and its emphasis on interior experience. Responses have highlighted Ross’s refusal to offer easy resolutions, instead allowing moments to accumulate meaning gradually. Several readers have pointed to the book’s depiction of mentorship as particularly resonant, emphasizing how guidance is shown as imperfect, human, and deeply influential without being idealized. Others have remarked on the quiet tension between external success and internal alignment that runs throughout the narrative.
The prose style of I Did Good, Sir is deliberately unadorned. Ross employs plainspoken language and close observation, trusting the reader to engage with what is left unsaid. The novel’s structure reflects this approach, favoring episodic movement and reflection over conventional plot escalation. This restraint aligns with the book’s thematic concern for attention, a quality that Ross has described as central to both his professional and creative life.
In a brief comment on the book’s origins, Ross noted, “I wasn’t interested in writing a story that explains itself. I wanted to write something that stays close to how learning actually feels, uncertain, repetitive, and shaped by small moments that don’t announce their importance at the time.” That sensibility is evident throughout the novel, which resists categorization as either purely coming-of-age or professional fiction, instead occupying a reflective space between the two.
Although the novel is not autobiographical in a literal sense, it draws on environments and experiences familiar to the author. The veterinary settings, in particular, are rendered with specificity and respect, reflecting years of firsthand knowledge. These details ground the story while allowing it to address broader questions about service, competence, and the ethical weight of care. According to the book’s publication details, I Did Good, Sir is a work of fiction, and its characters and events are imaginative constructions rather than direct representations .
The book’s reception thus far suggests that it is finding an audience among readers who value contemplative fiction and narratives centered on moral attention rather than spectacle. Podcast hosts and cultural editors have expressed interest in the novel’s crossover appeal, particularly its relevance to conversations about work, calling, and the often unspoken emotional lives of those in caregiving professions. The novel’s themes also resonate with readers navigating transitions, whether professional, personal, or spiritual.
I Did Good, Sir arrives at a moment when many readers are reexamining inherited definitions of success and fulfillment. By focusing on the slow accumulation of understanding rather than decisive triumphs, the novel contributes to a growing body of literature concerned with inward development and ethical presence. Its questions are not framed as problems to be solved, but as conditions to be lived with attentively.
Brief synopsis
I Did Good, Sir follows Jack Reilly from his earliest encounters with mentorship through his professional formation and adult life. Set largely within veterinary practice and rural environments, the novel explores how a sensitive individual learns to navigate authority, responsibility, and self-doubt. Through a series of reflective episodes, the story examines how vocation, care, and language shape a person’s understanding of worth and direction.
About the author
Randall N. Ross was raised in Torrington, Connecticut, in a family shaped by work, routine, and quiet perseverance. Drawn early to animals and the people who cared for them, he pursued a career in veterinary medicine that included years of training, farm work, and clinical practice. He later founded Vermont’s first small animal mobile veterinary clinic, which he operated for more than three decades.
Alongside his scientific and professional life, Ross has maintained a long-standing creative practice. He has written song lyrics performed on national television, composed music staged off-Broadway, and published poetry focused on reflection and inner experience. These creative pursuits have informed his fiction, which often examines service, mentorship, and attentiveness as lived practices rather than abstract ideals.
I Did Good, Sir reflects this convergence of experience. While fictional, the novel draws on emotional and ethical landscapes familiar to the author, exploring how individuals learn to listen, serve, and continue becoming without certainty. Ross continues to write fiction that extends the questions introduced in this work.

Randall N. Ross is available for interviews, podcast conversations, and literary discussions related to I Did Good, Sir, including topics such as reflective fiction, vocation, mentorship, and the intersection of professional life and creative practice.

Five Global Megatrends Highlighted at Open Dialogue Expert Forum at the Russia National Centre
Moscow, Russia – 31/01/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Expert Dialogues were held for the first time within the Open Dialogue framework at the Russia National Centre in Moscow on 30 January. The forum focused on five major megatrends shaping global economic, technological, and social development, bringing together international experts to explore how these forces will influence societies and industries in the decades ahead.
Organized by the Russia National Centre in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “The Third Rome” and supported by the Presidential Executive Office, the forum brought together experts from around the world to discuss economic, technological, and social transformations.
Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Executive Administration for Global Trends, presented five key megatrends that, he said, are already shaping global development and will continue to influence the world in the coming decades.
“By 2026, Open Dialogue has become an international platform uniting experts from across the world to discuss the future of the planet, the global economy, and society,” Oreshkin said. “Understanding these processes is essential for preparing for change and leveraging it in the interests of nations and, above all, people. Today, I will focus on five key megatrends — while not treating artificial intelligence as a separate trend, because it has already become an integral part of our lives.”
1. A New Global Economic Paradigm: Globalisation 2.0
A shift from traditional globalisation to a more decentralised system was described. BRICS+ countries now play a growing role in the global economy, technological development, and demographic trends, while the Global South is increasingly engaging in direct trade and national-currency settlements.
“Globalisation hasn’t ended; it has changed,” Oreshkin said. “Sovereignty — at state, social, and economic levels — is now the key to competitiveness. Only countries that preserve all three levels can lead in a multipolar world.”
China, the USA, India, and Russia are identified as major global powers, while highlighting emerging growth centres such as Indonesia and “connector countries” like the United Arab Emirates. Digital platforms and decentralised networks are also becoming independent participants in the world economy.
2. Platformisation and Institutional Automation
The second megatrend highlights the rise of platforms and automation across all sectors. Platforms and algorithms are increasingly shaping decision-making in healthcare, education, finance, trade, and beyond.
“Platform solutions enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs through self-adjusting algorithms,” Oreshkin said. “Countries without technological sovereignty risk becoming dependent on external platforms, which can have strategic consequences during conflicts.”
3. Transformation of the Global Financial System
It was noted that traditional financial models face mounting challenges, including rising public debt, widening inequality, and geopolitical fragmentation. Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms are creating alternative financial mechanisms, including decentralised finance.
“The traditional model of cross-border payments is under pressure. Decentralised systems and digital technologies are reshaping the financial system,” he said.
4. Demographic Shifts and Challenges
The fourth megatrend concerns global population dynamics. Global fertility rates have fallen sharply, with some countries facing critical declines. By the end of the 21st century, the working-age population may shrink significantly, while the proportion of elderly people rises, placing pressure on pension systems and social services.
“Even in Africa, the ratio of elderly to working-age population will rise to 30%, and globally to 56%,” Oreshkin explained. “Education demand will decrease, but healthcare and social service needs will grow. These interconnected trends will amplify each other.”
5. Human Capital Development in the Technological Era
The final megatrend focuses on human capital in a rapidly changing technological environment.
Autonomous systems, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence are transforming education, work, and healthcare, while biotechnologies expand human capabilities.
“AI is both a challenge and an opportunity,” Oreshkin said. “It allows personalized learning paths and supports teachers.
Professions are changing: mid-level specialists will be in demand, and companies must retrain employees from junior positions. The social sphere will also evolve, ensuring active longevity in the new demographic era.”
Global Perspective
Throughout the presentation, Oreshkin illustrated each trend with real-life examples from different continents: a manager from Asia, a farmer from Africa, and a homemaker from Eastern Europe. He highlighted that innovations in Africa could improve education and healthcare, Eastern Europe may see rising living standards and more efficient social systems, and Asia will require reskilling to meet changing labor demands.
“The world has entered a period of significant change in finance, demography, and other spheres. States, companies, and individuals must be prepared. Those who understand and adapt will shape the future,” Oreshkin concluded.
Open Dialogue on Air
This year, Open Dialogue introduced a podcast format — Open Dialogue on Air — featuring global experts discussing key trends in international development. Participants include award-winning Chinese sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan, Dr. Selina Neri of the Future Readiness Academy, Dr. Rais Hussin of EMIR Research (Malaysia), Prof. Wang Feng of UC Irvine, and global strategist Dr. Parag Khanna.
First held in April 2025 at the Russia National Centre, the Open Dialogue brought together over 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. By presidential decree, it will now be held annually.
