A portrait of an often overlooked part of America―Puerto Rico and the Spanish Virgin Islands―this is the little-known story of how the U.S. government, in particular the Navy, almost destroyed a pristine coral reef to provide a target for gunners. The author’s true and humorous account of his role in this sometimes bizarre tale reveals how locals, politicos, and mariners came together to save a coral reef from certain destruction, and how the need to protect the fragile marine environment can bring meaning and direction to anyone’s life, young or old. The conservation efforts represent a perfect example of what highly motivated citizens and political leaders can achieve when taking action to protect what they love. The author, hired as captain of a small research vessel, led the underwater search for evidence of the coral reef damage that would be used to convince the U.S. government to stop its bombardment of the island. While he did not have a direct role in the legal activities of Washington, DC, his efforts to collect factual evidence that would be used by the lawyers proved to be of immeasurable importance.

"Let it be known that there will be stories and information that you may not have heard before. I encourage you to allow yourself to remain open and to receive what is meant for you. Time continues to go by so quickly. Grasping for crumbs of harmony and joy is not what your life ought to be about. Be assured that it's definitely not the reason you're here." How does a Jewish woman from Brooklyn become best friends with Jesus? What makes one person's experience of Jesus more important than another's? Does Jesus speak to people in the twenty-first century, or is He confined to the Scriptures? The truth is . . . there is no way to really answer these questions definitively. Even the authenticity of the Gospels is questioned by many scholars, as there have been so many revisions and translations over the centuries. The only way to approach the information in this book is to consider whether it is relevant to you, the reader-- whether it touches you and makes sense to you . . . or not. As we are all the creators and judges of our own lives, we also know what is meaningful to us. As you read these pages, you will hear the wonderful and profound messages that Jesus wishes to convey, and you will know if its truth is yours . . . or not. You be the judge.

Designed to help readers understand the purpose and potential of their existence, The Cosmic Internet is a record of the author’s direct conversations with the nonphysical aspects of the universe. What is the meaning of our physical lives? After our physical lives are concluded, will we continue to exist in some way? Frank DeMarco addresses these important questions and many more. Within this fascinating work, the author makes it clear that his conversations are not the result of a special gift, but, instead, are the types of communication that are available to anyone who is willing to make the effort. As such, this book not only provides invaluable insights but can also spur a personal investigation into the nature of human life, the purpose of life, and the way in which the universe works.

When a flash flood claims the life of Steven Drilach, he finds that the death of his body does not mean the end of his existence. Soon, Steven steps into an afterlife where all his dreams can come true and anything can be his as long as he is able to imagine it. Following the lead of his guide, he learns the connection between the physical world he left behind and the spiritual world that is his new home. Through his experiences, which include journeys back to earth and encounters with lost souls, Steven is able to face his own personal doubts and understand what truly separates him from God. Here is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between the seemingly meaningless and cruel events that occur on earth, and our belief (or disbelief) in a loving God.

Ianniello, Jeff

For most of us, difficult people are the bane of our existence. They annoy us, they throw us off balance, they test our patience, and―to one degree or another―they provoke reactions that are decidedly unhealthy. But it is also true that difficult people (DPs) mirror our own dysfunctional mental states and provide us with wonderful opportunities to understand ourselves, heal ourselves, and learn to live in the moment. Lisette Larkins realized the positive aspect of dealing with difficult people when she was providing care for a late-stage Alzheimer’s patient. Through daily interactions with a DP, Larkins began a personal journey of exploration that ultimately led to spiritual awakening. In Difficult People: A Gateway to Enlightenment, Larkins shares her journey and guides readers in reaching a “chronic state of well-being.”

Larkins, Lisette

"In this book...I have the great honor of introducing you to a number of women about whom I have not previously written, as well as sharing with you additional stories with several of them. Each new story...can be applied to help us move into harmony and a state of grace with the world around us...and the articles are designed to make the wisdom of the Sisterhood of the Shield more accessible in our daily lives." Lynn Andrews has gathered stories from the most profound teachings she has received over the years from the women of the Sisterhood of the Shield, members of an ancient shamanic society deeply embedded in native cultures and traditions all over the world. These shamanic, philosophical, and inspirational teachings are now condensed into one very important book. Her unique and eloquent narrative style reveals how the application of ancient healing techniques can relate to the modern world for over thirty years, interweaving teachings into aspects of universal truths. Coming Full Circle with Lynn reminds us that there is no beginning and no end to the circle of life. In this time of great fear and confusion in the world, she shows how her teachers have led her- and by extension all of us-to confront her deepest fears and accept without hesitation that there is a spiritual solution to every one of life's problems.

Who better to tell the real story of Ernest Hemingway than Hemingway himself? In this amazing book, Frank DeMarco provides the great American author’s own fascinating interpretation of his life and the Hemingway myth. DeMarco also explains communication with the nonphysical world, describing precisely how it can be accomplished. Perhaps most important, Afterlife Conversations with Hemingway demonstrates that the afterlife is not a fantasy but a necessary part of life, without which our existence would not have meaning.

In spending time with his 86-year-old mother in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, author Eliezer Sobel discovered something astounding. Although she could no longer speak full sentences or follow a story line, his mother could still read! He observed her sitting in rapt attention as she paged through magazines and coffee-table books, reading individual words and short phrases aloud. He wrote Blue Sky, White Clouds for her: a simple, adult picture book with beautiful, realistic photographs and large, easy-to-read captions. Perfect for any loved one suffering with Alzheimer's or dementia.

In Richard Bach’s best-selling book Illusions, the mysterious hero Donald Shimoda seems to carry the keys to the universe with him as he barnstorms the Midwest in a Travel Air biplane. Shimoda’s secret is a small book, bound in what appears to be suede, called the Messiah’s Handbook. This slim volume, which the hero frequently quotes, is said to contain “whatever you need to know.” All Shimoda has to do is hold a question in his mind, close his eyes, open the book at random, open his eyes― and the answer is there. Here, at last, is the “lost book” from Illusions―the Messiah’s Handbook. Within these pages, you will find the answers to all your most important questions as well as answers to questions that you may have never thought to ask―until now.
