HER LONGEST MARATHON
A Runner's Race to Survive
ISBN: 9781577332268
ISBN 10:
A Runner's Race to Survive
October 20, 2000, Joyce Lance, a fifty-two year old, raised on a farm and a survivor of past adversity, was about to face her greatest personal obstacle.
At five am, only four miles into her twenty-mile training run, Joyce was hit, head-on, by a speeding car, sending her to the hard, wet, morning pavement, broken, bleeding and barely alive. So begins her new passage into survival - and an arduous recovery fuelled by love, support and spirit.
HER LONGEST MARATHON is an investigative tale written by a medical doctor using hospital charts, police records, interviews and letters to compose this account of a remarkable woman, assumed dead by a fireman who thought she would make a good organ donor.
Rich with inspiration, this book reveals the special courage of an extraordinary personal recovery, from the gory accident, to A & E's hours of resuscitation, numerous operations and months of physical and mental rehabilitation - as seen through the eyes of a son, family, friends, doctors, nurses and the resiliently disciplined and unwavering faith of Joyce herself.
Full of the complexity of human drama, HER LONGEST MARATHON is a compelling tale of inner strength and equanimity.

A Story of Triumph
On the morning of April 22 1986 Joel Rothschild was rushed to the hospital suffering from AIDS-related pneumonia. From that day his life became a weary and surreal maze of experimental drug trials support groups memorial services for lost loved ones opportunistic infections and hospital stays. Through all of this Rothschild refused to succumb to what he saw so many of his peers fall victim to: the stigma of AIDS the emotional isolation or worst of all the final end of suicide. Instead he chose to live as simply as possible continually trying to see beyond fear and self-sabotaging thoughts to what each day brought. Rothschild gained hope and strength knowing he'd survived so much loss and physical suffering growing more confident with each bout of depression or illness he overcame. The power and inspiration readers will take away from HOPE comes from knowing that he has survived when millions of others have not. In his arduous process to re-join the land of the living Joel realised that physical suffering and pain is a circumstance that will always come to an end. We can choose to escape it. However it is only by meeting this suffering head-on that we will truly see our life as a wondrous existence and know peace.

When Natural Cures for Cancer Became Illegal. The Historical Autobiography of Harry Hoxsey
ISBN: 9781929661329
ISBN 10:
When Natural Cures for Cancer Became Illegal. The Historical Autobiography of Harry Hoxsey
This book gives the reader an historical account of the battle between Naturopath, Harry Hoxsey and the American medical establishment. It started when Harry's father's horse contracted cancer on his Illinois farm, then ate in a different pasture than the rest of the herd and was cured. Not long after, Harry's father was on his deathbed when he asked his son to make natural herbs with cancer curative properties available to the public. The rest of his life, this naturopath would battle traditional medicine in one of the longest legal wars in history. Eventually Dr. Hoxsey won his day in court with the AMA by proving that the Hoxsey formulae, which are listed within the pages of this book, cured cancer. Within days, government agencies padlocked 17 Hoxsey therapy clinics in 17 major cities across the USA and the clinic had to be moved to Tijuana, Mexico, where it operates today.
This book is complete with pictures of healing sessions, congressional hearings and an account of Harry Hoxsey's battle to help mankind in his own words.
Harry Hoxsey lived in Dallas, where the first Hoxsey Therapy Clinic was established, before it was moved to Tijuana and renamed the Biomedical Center. Thousands of cancer patients visit each year, as Hoxsey Therapy remains the most popular natural alternative cancer clinic in the world.

IDENTITY THEFT
A Wild Ride with the World's #1 Identity Thief
ISBN: 9781932857412
ISBN 10:
A Wild Ride with the World's #1 Identity Thief
Identity theft is the crime of this century. Just ask Frank Abagnale of Catch Me If You Can fame. He states so in the Q&A of the latest edition of that book. So here, then, is the true-crime book of this century. This is the first book on the subject from the inside, told by someone who's assumed hundreds of identities and become rich off it. Not only does the author reveal how ID theft is done, he tells loads of wildly unbelievable but true stories about his impersonations as they led to riches. Some of them are as funny and outrageous as they are amazing.
At the same time he tells people how to protect themselves from the gangs of ID thieves thriving in the real and virtual worlds of today, and as he explains in his foreword, Glenn Hastings is writing this book to repent for his crimes. While committing them, he failed to take into account the damage they caused his victims. He states that had he continued on his massive trail of ID and credit fraud, he could have conceivably made a billion dollars. But enough was enough; ultimately he had to do the right thing.

A Young Mother's Struggle with Anorexia
At twenty-four, Erica Rivera appeared to have it all: a B.A., two daughters, a successful husband, a house in the suburbs - and a great body. But under the surface, Erica was struggling with an addiction. She developed a self- destructive obsession with dieting, bingeing, purging, exercising and, ultimately, anorexia. It wasn’t until her very young daughters began to imitate her actions that she decided to get help - and to trace her disordered eating and body-image patterns across three generations of women in her family. INSATIABLE is the raw, candid and ultimately uplifting story of one woman’s plunge into the depths of addiction and her fragile fight to climb back out. Getting to the root of her own problems helped her show her own daughters where happiness truly lies: in loving oneself. Though her road to recovery has not been easy, Erica Rivera is reassuring in her honesty - and inspirational in her triumph.

One Womans Transformation Of Indias Prison System
This book tells of the transformation of one of Asia's largest jails - Tihar Prison. Before Kiran Bedi became the warden of Tihar in 1993 it was a hellish place where 8300 inmates in a prison designed for 2500 lived with corruption gang wars illness filth and hopelessness. Today many thanks to her stunning reforms; it is more an ashram than a prison. Half the book is devoted to a detailed account of the situation Bedi found when first appointed. The other half is devoted to describing the process of Human Interaction that she emphasised was the key to bringing about the transformation. By the time Bedi left there were councils in each ward self-governance by prisoners daily activities like yoga literacy programmes playrooms for children a university course and most important of all vispassana mediation. Bedi describes the tools she and like-minded colleagues used to bring order and peace out of chaos and despair. Interspersed with the conversations from inmates this book is a powerful story of redemption faith and hope for a better future. It can serve as an inspirational guidebook to all who wish to overcome enormous obstacles.

JEWEL IN THE WOUND

ISBN: 9781888602166
ISBN 10: 1888602163
How the Body Expresses the Needs of the Psyche and Offers a Path to Transformation
This is the compelling story of how the author's disfiguring scars guided her search for a connection with her mother who died at her birth and ultimately led to her own psychological development. In this process the scars became the sacred jewels that illuminated the pathway of self-understanding. Movingly told from a Jungian point of view and in the intimate context of analysis it is not only the autobiography of a person with a lifelong dedication to understanding the psyche but also a portrayal of the unconscious as it reveals itself throughout the course of that person's life. As a journey of the soul the book includes dreams artwork and active imagination-all ways of accessing the archetypal dimension underlying body symptoms. Ms. Rothenberg explains through focused work how body symptoms and physical illness can help us to discover our personal myth. In her case the journey led her to Africa and a study of the art of scarification during which she interviewed shamans who helped her unveil the symbolic and spiritual meaning behind her own physical and psychological scars. Rothenberg explores wounding in a way that opens us to healing. It is the tale of a life lived consciously and with great integrity. She includes a rich variety of artwork images of cultural artifacts and pictures from her visits with shamans.

JOHN DEE
ISBN: 9780892541041
ISBN 10: 0892541040
John Dee (1527-1608) is most known for his work with Edward Kelley in contacting spirits and transcribing angelic language. Smith provides a clear retelling of their famous and tempestuous relationship and lays to rest some of the ridiculous stories about Dee. Charlotte Smith's biography draws from Dee's private diaries and several of his important works including The Book of the Mysteries and A True and Faithful Relation bringing to light all his truly remarkable accomplishments. As a man of great learning he fell under the suspicion of his less gifted contemporaries and suffered rumour and even imprisonment. But for the most part he was quite famous in his day serving as mathematician astronomer and astrologer to the royal court of England. Smith credits him for initiating the creation of England's National Library. An essential work for students who want a full understanding of the ground from which the esoteric arts have grown.

JUNG THE MYSTIC
The Esoteric Dimensions of Carl Jung's Life and Teachings
ISBN: 9780399161995
ISBN 10:
The Esoteric Dimensions of Carl Jung's Life and Teachings
Although he is often called the "founding father of the New Age," Carl Jung, the legendary Swiss psychiatrist best known for his groundbreaking concepts like the collective unconscious, archetype theory and synchronicity, often took pains to avoid any explicit association with mysticism or the occult. Yet Jung lived a life rich in paranormal experiences - arguing for the existence of poltergeists in a debate with Sigmund Freud, participating in séances, incorporating astrology into his therapeutic work, reporting a near death experience and collaborating with the pioneering ESP researcher, J. B. Rhine. It is these critical experiences - often fleetingly touched on in other biographies or critical studies and just as frequently used to make a case against Jung and his philosophies - that form the core of this exciting new biography, JUNG THE MYSTIC.
Lachman assesses Jung's life and work from the viewpoint of Western esoteric tradition and helpfully places Jung in the context of other major esoteric thinkers, such as Rudolf Steiner, G. I. Gurdjieff and Emanuel Swedenborg. In that respect, this new biography appeals directly to the sensibility of spiritual readers who rightly see Jung as a pioneer of today's contemporary metaphysical culture.

An Intimate Portrait of the Ground-Breaking Author of Mysticism
Evelyn Underhill was a passionate writer and teacher who wrote elegantly on mysticism worship and devotional life and urged the integration of personal spirituality and worldly action. This is the moving story of how she made her way toward spiritual maturity from her early days of agnosticism to the years when her influence was felt throughout the world. An early believer that contemplative prayer is not just for monks and nuns but for anyone willing to undertake it Underhill considered the study of modern science not as a threat to contemplation but rather an enhancement of it. Her many lectures and writings on mysticism and spirituality including her classic Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness inspired the many people touched by her unique passion to take on a spiritual life.

ISBN: 9780978508456
ISBN 10:
A philosophy for life is explored by Fumitada Naoe, a man who took himself from the depths of an Asian shanty town, through the bitter discrimination of a wholly homogenised society, to the heights of success in one of the world's most economically powerful nations. His philosophy for living, told through poetic essays and emotionally charged photography, isn't how to create wealth, but how to live one's life with love, passion and to the fullest. The strong messages and images in this book have been recognised by many young readers as an innovative self-development guide.
Born in a shanty town of Taiwan, Fumitada plunges in and makes his own way to success within Japan's affluent business sector. Determined to be the top entrepreneur in the world, he is propelled by the death of a loved one and to overcome the discrimination he has faced throughout his life. He starts his own company with virtually no experience or funds and builds it to a thirty million dollar business within in a year. Fumitada's musings are as inspiring as they are moving.
