From Harlem with LoveAn Ivy Leaguer’s Inner City OdysseyJoSePH HoLLandAs a diplomat’s son, star athlete and Harvard Law School graduate, in the early 1980s Joseph Holland had a world of opportunities awaiting him in corporate America. Instead, he found himself in Harlem during the nadir of its blight and endeavoured to contribute to a neighbourhood that was tough in every sense of the word. A five-year sojourn became a three-decade commitment, as his Harlem-based career morphed from practising law to empowering the homeless, to running small businesses, to serving in politics – all aimed at revitalising a beaten-down, cultural mecca haunted by poignant memories of its glory days in the early twentieth century.

madame BlavatskyThe Mother of Modern SpiritualityGary LaCHmanMadam Helena Petrovna Blavatsky – mystic, occult writer, child of Russian aristocrats, spiritual seeker who travelled five continents and founder (with Henry Steel Olcott) of the Theosophical Society – is still being hailed as an icon and scorned as a fraud more than 120 years after her death. Gary Lachman, the acclaimed spiritual biographer behind volumes such as rudolf steiner and Jung the Mystic, brings us an in-depth look at Blavatsky, objectively exploring her unique and singular contributions toward introducing Eastern and esoteric spiritual ideas to the West during the nineteenth century, as well as the controversies that continue to colour the discussions of her life and work.

ecstatic HealingA Journey into the Shamanic World of Spirit Possession and Miraculous MedicinemarGareT de WySMargaret De Wys first became aware of ecstatic trance healing when she was a young girl fascinated by the rapture of the Holy Rollers. However, it would be decades before she would be called to explore that early fascination. At a gathering in Upstate New York thirty years later she was spontaneously possessed by a sacred Zulu necklace – a gift from one of the most powerful shamans in Africa, Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa. Frightening yet exhilarating, the experience set her on a search to understand the depths of ecstatic healing. In sharing her journey to reach a profound understanding of ecstatic states and shamanic healing, Margaret De Wys not only gives the reader a direct experience of holiness, but, also, reveals the potential each of us has for miraculous healing.

The marble roomHow I Lost God and Found Myself in AfricaBiLL HaTCHerAt 27, Bill Hatcher was at a crossroads. Brought up in an evangelical household in the American Bible Belt, his religion had
provided no answers to his parents’ broken marriage or, indeed, his
own divorce. The key to his salvation would come from a most unlikely source: a flyer calling for Peace Corps volunteers. A year later, Hatcher finds himself in
Tanzania, East Africa. Filled with
breathtaking accounts of death-defying mountain climbs and
the spectacular beauty of the African countryside, this memoir is both a tale of adventure and self-discovery – and proof that even the most naive and insular American can achieve a spiritual awakening.

In an effort to kickstart his son’s career in the workplace he arranges for Mark to work in a quarry in outback Australia.

The Fat PaddlerSean SmiTHThis is the extraordinary tale of an ordinary man’s recovery from physical and mental trauma. Over an eight-year period, Sean Smith survived two major car accidents as well as the Bali Bombing in 2002. These incidents left him with significant physical and mental injuries, including obesity and heart problems and set him on a path to likely premature death. At a low point in his life, Sean accepted the challenge from friends to compete in a kayak ultramarathon. With only seven months’ preparation and despite early failures, he persevered. So began his recovery. His enthusiasm for new adventures lit a passion in him for the outdoors – and the Fat Paddler was born.

When the Bough BreaksJoanne W JoneSFrom endless rounds of IVF to faith healing and Chinese herbs, she tried them all, believing that with enough willpower and determination she would succeed. But it was not to be. And then began Joanne’s real challenge, the painful task of how to accept and adjust to the fact that she would never be a mother, never hold her own child, never share the ups and downs of parenting with her partner. WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS is a beautifully written and compelling journey of self discovery – sometimes sad, frequently amusing, courageous and above all, blazingly honest. It will resonate with women everywhere, regardless of their circumstances, as ultimately it is a story of learning to accept yourself for who you are, unconditionally.

It’s a wonder Phillip McMillan ever became a chef at all, given that his introduction to food as a child was of leathery meat and over-boiled vegetables. However, his world was expanded after first sighting exotic food (a humble eggplant) in his local Italian greengrocer. From that moment on he was smitten. Following the mandatory apprentice training, Phillip went on to become a sought-after chef in the highly competitive and physically demanding world of commercial kitchens.

the referral engineTeaching Your Business to Market ItselfJOhn JantSChThe power of glitzy advertising and elaborate marketing campaigns is on the wane; word-of-mouth referrals are what drive business today. People trust the recommendation of a friend, family member, colleague or even stranger with similar tastes over anything thrust atthem by a faceless company. Most business owners believe that whether customers refer them is entirely out of their hands. But science shows that people can’t help recommending products and services to their friends. And smart businesses can tap into that hardwired desire. Marketing expert, John Jantsch, offers practical techniques for harnessing the power of referrals to ensure a steady flow of new customers.

The shema in the MezuzahListening to Each OthersANDY eiseNBeRG sAssO
iLLUsTRATeD BY JOANi keLLeR ROTheNBeRG“Standing UP!” “Lying DOWN!” What were the people to do? They decided to ask the rabbi of the town. “What are we to do?” they asked. “Shall we put the mezuzah standing up or lying down?” The townspeople have mezuzahs but cannot agree on how to put them up on their doorways. Should they place them horizontally or vertically, standing up or lying down? To end their arguing, they consult the wise rabbi of the town, who advises them to carefully read the Shema in the mezuzah to find the answer. With this lively tale, based on a twelfth-century rabbinic debate, best-selling, award-winning children’s author, Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, helps young people discover that there is often more than one solution to a problem and that living together and creating “home” requires cooperation and listening to one another.

Babe in The Woods A NovelFrank DeMarcoAngelo Chiari, a fifty-something news reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, is sent to the C.T. Merriman Institute to do a week-long Open Door course and see if any of it is for real. He is sceptical and dreading the prospect of spending a week among New Age crazies. But it isn’t long before Mr Chiari begins to experience, first-hand, some of the things he has always assumed to be impossible. As new perceptions and intuitions accumulate, he has to consider how much of his old world-view he can modify without becoming one of the crazies. And there are more practical concerns, including the question of what happens when a long-married man falls in love with a long-married woman. Yet this dilemma is almost pushed aside by other extraordinary happenings and concerns, until Angelo finds himself living in a different world. Based on the author’s own experience, this book shows what it’s like to take the first tentative steps toward greater awareness.
