To everything there is a season. Author Dollie Fuller shares vignettes from her life that bring this adage home time and again. A child of the south, the author suffered her share of pain and struggle. She found her path to healing through believing in her purpose on this earth, and in her unshakable faith. From the written plea she penned to God after being abused by a relative, to the harsh toil in the cotton fields, and winters where she found herself nearly frozen; from her father's outburst against her mother, to his own healing and growth; Fuller not only survived, but did so with renewed faith and hope. Gaining Strength Through Life Struggles: A Story of Survival is a poignant story of one child's struggle-and the confident, self-reliant woman she finally becomes. Indeed, we are reminded often that there is a time to weep and a time to laugh.

The Burning Sea by P.D. Saracin is a fictional thriller that takes random terrorist attacks from the headlines and weaves them into a singular missile pointed at destroying the American economy.

Among most products of alien education, there is total lack of moral virtues, honesty, integrity, eagerness to serve and readiness to sacrifice. Rather, he is enslaved by the glittering fancies and fascinations of other cultures. He has embraced, and is enthused by, a religion which compels him to acknowledge that he is a sinner who has to work hard to attain purity which he already is. If the new religions made him more caring, honest, sincere, God-fearing and less sin-loving' there would be no need for this work. He has assumed political and judicial roles and is ruling a society, the majority of whose members live with, and cherishes, the traditional knowledge he holds in contempt and disdain. His rule can be successful, fruitful and beneficial to himself and others if he re-educates and equips himself with the philosophy underpinning his religious/spiritual heritage, instead of using political power to impose his new-found religion and its values on his people. In Akan Traditional Religion, the author has revisited the native religion of the sophisticated Akans who built the vast Asante Empire even before the British dreamt of an empire. He has re-examined, analysed and reinterpreted this heritage from the Akan point of view rather than as part of the colonial legacy in Africa. He concludes that the Akan traditional religion is no less holy than, or the ethical values it espouses inferior to, any other religion. Akan traditional religion proclaims that the one God is, and in, everything, that is to say, a living universe based on Universal Consciousness. (This is why Akans readily accept any name, such as Allah, Jesus, Krishna, the Father, etc. used by other communities to denote the One God). In other words, it espouses the doctrine of unity in diversity. The individual forms (bodies) are activated and operated by the same one God. The differences between individuals only reflect the diversity. The self-aware individual shares in divine power and majesty; the totally ignorant person thinks he is the body and caters only to the needs and comforts of the body. Identification with the body makes him prone to suffering from excessive desires which expose him to fear, anxiety, lust, anger, pride, etc. as a consequence. The heaven/hell dichotomy is absent in Akan doctrine. All will become divine, eventually. This principle of unity in diversity, rather than conflict and strife, guides the Akan in his personal life, (wo yonko da ne woda; i.e. the bed you make for your neighbour is the same one you will lie in), as well as the organisation of his society (wo amma wo yonko antwa nkron a, wonso wonya du ntwa; i.e. your right to ten can be exercised if, and only if, your neighbour's right to nine is guaranteed). The esoteric significance of the title 'Nana', which every Akan 'Ohene' or 'Ohemaa' bears, has been clarified and the phrase, 'Nananom Nsamanfuo', means 'the Enlightened Ones' rather than 'ancestral spirits'. (Ch. 5) Anatomical analysis of prayer has shown that the Akan congregational prayer, 'Nsa Guo' is as valid a prayer as any offered to the Supreme Deity and has no resemblance to the Judaic tradition of libation pouring. Therefore, 'Nsa Guo' cannot be described as 'Pouring Libation'. (Ch. 9) The concluding chapter will make interesting reading for those toying with the idea of Africanising the Christian religion or Christianising Africa.(Ch.14)
The captivating story of how a young Polish Jew survived the Holocaust by pretending to be a Pole, and working in Germany.
This is a brilliant work summarising in a pursuasive manner the subtle negative impact of book religions specifically the New Testament on human free thought. The synthesis of the information is based on the depth of experience of the author who practised almost all known spiritualities. The book will invoke anyone to seriously reconsider a great deal that has been taken for granted and accepted as mysterious and divine. Christian spirituality is identified as the basic spirituality into which each human is immersed when born on earth. A 'carefool' analysis shows its subtlety in our politics, money and banking, education and the media. The book offers a powerful process to liberate our being. By 'knowing' at least ten direct genetic and biological ancestors the reader is guided on how to vibrate the best they deposited in sacred spiritual vaults- our blood or genes. Then we vibrate beyond the subtlety. With clarity and confidence we live the best life and enter our fantastic sprituality.

Dr. Strakes believes that far too many self-help books are reduced to such an elementary level they offer little or no help to the more educated and introspective reader. Refusing to pander to pop-psychology's 'quick fix' mentality, Dr. Strakes compiles her own observations along with the wisest and most insightful thinking of some of the world's highest honored and renowned psychologists. Until now, their collective wisdom has never been brought together in any single literary work for the average self-help reader. In warm conversational and captivating prose, Emotional Survival examines the emotional wounds that result in loss of hope, lack of trust, pervasive feelings of loneliness, and most importantly of all, inability to love or be loved. In short, it is a book written for those who have been hurt by love and life. "Inspiring and groundbreaking." New York Times best-selling author, Ellen Tanner Marsh.
