Book Description
Quest for Confirmation, the second volume of the series Come Along: We Are Truth-Bound, is a cross-examination of the concepts derived in Volume One, A Dialogue and Dialectic: Bridging the Great Epistemic Divides. The cross-examination is conducted by means of a dialogue with a representative thinker from each of the related bodies of knowledge. The study reveals reality to be an intricate, harmoniously-integrated whole and terminates in "An Epistemological Atlas" that depicts the major processes of human knowledge in their application to different disciplines. The process itself exposes the latter to be the stepping stones of our mind's ascent to the ultimate truth. In light of this understanding, the unresolved controversies in philosophy gain a new degree of clarity and reveal their relevance to human life. This volume, a work in epistemology that encompasses human knowledge in general, lends itself to different courses but is of special significance to philosophy, theology, and physics.

Book Description
Those Who Come Along is a first-hand account of how Linda and Henry Harrell encountered the Spirits of two Native children on their land above the Kennebec River in Maine. It also tells some of Linda's own life story and how it led her to that place and that moment. Together, she and Henry, along with other Shamanic practitioners, helped the children find peace and began to repair the harm and heal the land that is now in their care. The story also has elements of a teaching story, for as Linda says, "Grief experienced fully for past actions must result in changes in those actions to consider all Relations in the future." "This is a story of human souls who, for whatever reason, were meant to come together for a particular purpose. It is written for those it is meant for, at the urging of Spirit. I have been its holder, its translator, its voice, and now its author. I am asked to speak for a child no longer incarnate, about what she felt in a moment of purpose. Know that I am one of the persons who remember. At nearly sixty-four, I am grateful to be spending each of my days trying to figure out how best to fulfill the purpose to which I agreed. This story is one such attempt." -Linda Harrell, from the introduction to Those Who Come Along

Book Description
As far back as he could remember, John had always been late. For breakfast, for school, even for Sunday afternoon rides with his parents and older brother to get ice cream cones he was last in line. Behind his younger brother, too. His mother had to hurry him so often, she got tired of saying, Come along, John. For his ninth birthday, John got a greeting card from his brother with those words on the envelope, and the nickname stuck. Life in 1950, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was certainly an adventure for John. From meeting Red Sox legend, Ted Williams, to escaping an oncoming train on the Bridge over Nashua River, Come-Along John may have arrived late, but he always seemed to get there just in the nick of time!
