Kryon: lifting the veil (book eleven)
channelled by Lee Carroll
 
Kryon is a loving angelic energy and Lee Carroll is the "original" Kryon channel. Through almost two decades, the loving information from this partnership has changed lives and explained much about our changing times.  Like all the other Kryon books, this one is a compilation of favorite live channeling from many different places over two years. Unlike the other books, these messages have all taken place within a growing fear of what might happen to our earth as war rages on, terrorists have their way in the world, and the news outlets pounce upon the bad news and ignore the good.  Kryon addresses it all, and gives us hope for the future. You will see many references to the Jews and to Israel and Palestine in these channeling - more than ever before as we approach the end of an age. Included are three channeling given live in Israel, plus the information given from two recent visits to the United Nations. Enjoy this profound and uplifting book!  $14.98

The G.O.D. Experiments: how science is discovering God in everything, including us
by Gary Schwartz

DOES GOD EXIST ONLY IN OUR HEARTS?

According to highly esteemed scientist Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., there is compelling scientific evidence that we no longer have to accept God on faith alone. Through a multidisciplinary approach, Harvard University-educated Dr. Schwartz blends psychology, quantum physics, and mathematics to examine the science of spirit. Faith and science are not mutually exclusive, and a better understanding of their relationship can lead us to recognize how God operates in everything.   Trained in the scientific method as an "open-minded skeptic," Dr. Schwartz was taught how to raise questions, turn them into hypotheses, and design experiments to test them. He was not trained to consider the nature of God. And yet, his scientific research led him directly to the discovery of God's existence in intelligent evolution and everyday life.   Scientifically rigorous and spiritually reassuring, this eye-opening book is a wake-up call for anyone who wonders about life's true meaning and who longs to believe in the existence of a universal intelligence.  $14.00

Once Upon a Day: a novel
by Lisa Tucker

Nineteen years ago, a famous filmmaker disappeared from Los Angeles, taking his two children, Dorothea and Jimmy, to a desolate corner of New Mexico. There he raised them in complete isolation without television, computer, radio — not even a newspaper. Now, at twenty-three, Dorothea leaves in search of her missing brother — and ventures into the outside world for the first time. Her search becomes an odyssey of discovery when Dorothea meets Stephen Spaulding, a cab driver dealing with his own mysterious history. With him as her guide, Dorothea uncovers the truth of her family's past and the terrifying day that changed her father forever. Together, they have a chance to discover that although a heart can be broken by the tragic events of a day, a day can also bring a new chance at love and a deeper understanding of life's infinite possibilities.   $14.00

The Autism Sourcebook: everything you need to know about diagnosis, treatment, coping and healing
by Karen Siff Exkorn

When Karen Siff Exkorn's son, Jake, was diagnosed with autism, she struggled to pull together comprehensive information about the disorder. Fortunately, she was able to educate herself quickly, and her extensive at-home treatment of her son led to his amazing full recovery. But the journey wasn't easy, and now, in The Autism Sourcebook, Siff Exkorn offers parents the wisdom she wishes she'd had at the beginning.

Recent studies show that there is a worldwide epidemic of autism. More than 1.5 million people are affected in the United States alone, with one in every 166 children diagnosed. Early detection and early intervention are two of the key factors in improving prognosis -- but too often, writes Siff Exkorn, parents get bogged down in denial or confusion about the still mysterious disorder, and are unable to take the necessary steps. Providing accessible medical information gleaned from the world's foremost experts, Siff Exkorn offers an inside look at families with children who have autism, and ties in her own firsthand experience as a parent. The author shares valuable knowledge about the following:

  • What the diagnosis really means
  • Understanding and accessing treatment options
  • Knowing your child's rights in the school system
  • Coping with common marital and familial stress
  • Making the stigma of autism a thing of the past

With extensive appendices, including the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Diagnostic Criteria for the Five Pervasive Developmental Disorders, and carefully selected lists of Internet resources, recommended readings, and top autism organizations worldwide, The Autism Sourcebook is the single most comprehensive, practical resource available to parents and loved ones of children with autism.  $17.95

Markoe, Gerald Jay - Healing Energy: Blessed By John Of God CD Cover Art

Healing Energy (CD)
by Gerald Jay Markoe

This CD was inspired by my visits to John of God, the miracle healer of Abadiania Brazil.  He has given me his permission and blessing to record and release this CD of healing music.  This recording is unique because it is played at John of God's spiritual center in Abadiania Brazil and was blessed by him so that it transmits his healing energy into the listener. 

The music is for harp, flute, strings, winds, bells, angel's choir and monk's chorus.  It relaxes the body, clears the mind, touches the heart and creates a state of deep relaxation in which the healing energy from John of God can do its work. 

The enclosed booklet contains information about John of God, his picture, links to testimonials of  miraculous healings he has done, links to websites with information about him and where and how you can visit him.   $15.98
