Book Description
There is a wild land high up through the Himalayan Breach between Tibet and Nepal named Mustang where warlords rode and ruled and Western visitors were not welcome. This is a story of an American girl and an English boy who disappeared up through that breach into the Himalayan Mountains, a story of Khampa warriors who raided across the undefended, unmarked border between Mustang and Tibet. This of the Chinese and, too, of the fighters for whom lifes final victory was the taking of Chinese with them into death. And also of the beauty, the silence, the stench of fear, the crack of rifles, the gleam of blood, the feel of death beneath ones blade.

Book Description
In March 1945 British Major Tom Harrisson and 42 Australian, New Zealand and British guerrillas dropped behind enemy lines in Borneo in an operation designed to assist the Australian Imperial Force’s (AIF) landings on the island, the largest amphibious operation in Australia’s history. In a matter of months the guerrillas moved well beyond their initial intelligence gathering mission, disrupting enemy supply lines, mounting raids on Japanese outposts, ambushing and often beheading, Japanese soldiers in the jungle. By the War’s end they had killed over 1,000 enemy. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, the AIF abruptly wound-up operations, leaving the Borneo tribespeople and brothers-in-arms to the fate of two roaming Japanese companies. Harrisson led a small band of guerrillas to hunt down these renegades, forcing their surrender on 30 October 1945, ten weeks after the war’s official end. Harrisson required his men to live off the land and at times, appeared oblivious to their appalling conditions. Nevertheless all 42 members of his force survived the war. But rather than revere their leader, many hated him and three wanted to kill him.

Book Description
The way of God? It just is. There are no two ways—either you are living within this spiritual fountain or waiting by the shore. In this book, there are a number of chapters: “The Way of God,” “Spirit,” “Children of God,” “Are You a Gardener,” “Love Force,” “Silence,” and many more. All this is to express the qualities or attitudes that we have to adopt to achieve any spiritual success within the presence of God. Any religious or material approach will not lead you into the presence of God until you adopt the universal spiritual living that is the same as God himself. Now you have become part of it, and there is nothing you can’t know or experience. This life has to be lived consciously. Make the most of it while you can. Lost time can never be recovered. The ticking needle of the clock does not stop for anyone. Move along in this present moment. The Spirit is the only way into essence of God. There is no other way or path that leads directly to the center of God. May you find your way within.

Book Description
"Reading a poem gives us a glimpse of past and future possibilities, other worlds and other lives. It makes a gift of unfamiliar words, and refreshes parts of the mind that other art forms cannot reach..." Charlotte Moore, a writer and former English teacher, has loved poetry all her life. Keen to be able to read and talk about poems with others, she set up a weekly poetry club for anyone interested to join her round her fireplace. This book brings together a selection of the Tuesday Afternoon Poetry Club's favourite poems, some well-known, some less so. The poems are grouped into themes - from home and lovers, to war and the planets - each framed with a little context from Charlotte and delightful insights from members of the group. The Magic Hour offers a source of lifelong pleasure and nourishment, with words to delight and console, while reminding us of moments of personal significance. It demonstrates how we can all benefit from the refreshment of poetry in our daily lives.

Book Description
Chétan is a Native American historic fiction novel, narrated through the spirit voice of a Shawnee Elder. The depth of spirituality Native Americans possess is very real, they live and breathe Mother Earth, Father Sky, and the Great Spirit, creator of all things. They honor the four directions from whence each changing season comes, they honor the spirit fires that burn brightly to carry prayers in rising tendrils of smoke. Their vision sees to the Big Bear constellation and beyond. All living things must be respected, the medicines that grow wild, fish that swim in winding rivers, animals and birds that cry out in the full moon's light. 500 Nations hear eagles cry from mountains high, the sun is the giver of all life. They sit with patience and watch and listen, for it is whispers in the trees they hear clearly, the breath of wind carries the spirit of ancient ones who forever guide the hearts of Native Americans. Mother Earth will shake with rage if she is angered, she must be honored, her beauty must be respected. If you love Native American culture, hear the songbirds voice of the Shawnee language as it floats with the touch of a feather from turning pages. This story lifts from the history pages of time, the characters are fictitious, but Native American culture will forever carry on the beauty of a timeless tale. This is a story not to be missed, it carries the heart and soul of the author.
