Book Description
Three middle aged sisters, Christine, Shirley and Ellen have an opportunity to take off on a trip of a lifetime to The United Arab Emirates and Egypt. This is the first time the three of us venture over to another country without our husbands or families. Ellen's Brother -in-law who is in the Australian army and stationed in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, asks her if she and his brother Mark want to visit, he declines, so Shirley and I decide to take the plunge and go with her. Before we leave home our Aunty Sylvia gives each of them an angel pin with our birthstone to wear, hoping this little token will keep us safe while away from Aussie land. Little did they realise the powers they held! There, we take a few days trip up to the north of the country for a dolphin cruise and mountain tour with Rodger and Louise and their two sons, then are dropped off in Dubai to spend a day and night exploring this great city. While here, we go to a water theme park where Ellen goes on one of the biggest slides outside of America, we visit a Gold Souk to buy some beautiful pieces of jewellery, Shirley and I get yelled at by a cranky taxi driver and are amazed at seeing The Burj, one of the most expensive motels in the world. Before we leave Dubai, our taxi driver, a friendly Indian guy this time, gives us a quick tour of the city before our drive back to Abu Dhabi showing us a man made island being built and their beautiful Marina. We were in ore at just how much construction was going on in this amazing city. Travelled back to Abu Dhabi and visited the famous Emirates Palace and have afternoon tea with the Australian Ambassador's wife at the Australian Embassy. My sister Shirley always wanted to see the Pyramids so decide to include this in our itinerary and the three of us travel by plane there with a few embarrassing moments on the way. When we arrive in Cairo, it wasn't how we expected it to be, but overcame some stressful moments when we visit the Pyramids and Sphinx. Thought a camel ride and a dinner cruise down the Nile River would be fun but got more then we bargained for. Had a strange encounter with some really nice Egyptian guys in The Papyrus Museum. Just the three of us took a road trip down the east coast of the country, passing through Muscat, Oman and Nizwa where we learnt to drive on the opposite side of the road, not to talk to strange men after a bad experience with an Arab guy when asking him for directions and manage to get lost in the hills for a couple of hours due to detour signs. Noticing a very low tyre on the car, manage to make matters worse trying to fix it while being helped by 10 young guys and somehow find ourselves stuck in a narrow lane while exiting a car park. Enjoyed looking around a number of souks (markets) buying great gifts and souvenirs. We certainly got used to flights being cancelled or delayed, but managed to keep it together after lots of group hugs, plenty of laughing, giggling and having a good cry. I believe the angel tokens we wore every day had some sort of power and did bring us home safe.

Book Description
The memoir of Helen Weinberg depicts the plight of a young woman who hailed from Kremenitz, Poland. Separated from her family during World War Two, she was imprisoned, beaten, starved and tortured. This story is told using her own words from stories, essays and poetry translated from Yiddish and Polish, and serve as a guide through the different periods of her life. The pen and paper were her catharsis for the emotional torture she endured and provide a window into her soul. PRAISE FOR WHITE ANGEL "This book is a wonderful tribute to the multifaceted life of an extraordinary grandmother. Written by P'nina Seplowitz with great respect and much love, it traces the story of a woman who was exposed to the most horrific manifestations of human cruelty and who emerged with powerful strength to create a new world, who responded to the assault of death with an outpouring of life. The book is warm, touching and beautifully written; it will inspire its readers, young and not so young alike." - RABBI JACOB J. SCHACTER, Yeshiva University "White Angel is a thought provoking work of Holocaust literature. Helen Weinberg's remarkable story elicits the sorrowful burden of a broken nation and the glimmer of hope that existed with the establishment of the State of Israel. White Angel is an essential staple for any home or school." - RABBI DOV LIPMAN, Member Israeli Knesset "P'nina Seplowitz does a terrific job of telling an inspirational, yet tragic story, through the eyes of her heroic grandmother. This book is a must read for all those looking to be inspired by the strength of the human spirit." - RABBI STEVEN BURG, Simon Wiesenthal Center

Book Description
Incomparable, it is an autobiographical literary book, which consists of 12 chapters, which tell stories and personal anecdotes that have been very useful to me when facing complicated situations in life. I know that everything in this life revolves around decisions; decisions that we make every day and that in a certain way we know that the consequences of them represent our future in the short, medium and long term. But the good news is that, if we have the correct guidance, we will know that the probability of obtaining better results will be greater, and that guidance can only be given by the Incomparable God.

Book Description
I asked him, “Are you the angel of death? You must be to keep showing up at these times.” He paused and said, “Let’s just say you can think of me as an ‘Evolution Angel.’” Todd Michael was the medical director of a level-three trauma center when he had his own brush with death before being saved by the voice of an angel. In this collection of true stories from the emergency room, Dr. Michael relates his experiences with dying patients and angels that invariably attend this critical rite of passage. Eventually he began communicating with an angel who was sent to aid us in our human evolution. Evolution, as Dr. Michael describes it in The Evolution Angel, is a “quantum leap, a jump to a completely new and higher level of being.” What exactly is that higher level of being, and how do we achieve it? The Evolution Angel provides fascinating lessons, wisdom, and insight into turning our human journey into one where we can not only communicate with the spirit world but also access this otherworldly wisdom in our lives at any moment. Inspirational, poignant, and wise, The Evolution Angel is a guide for everyone who wants to learn about the purpose of our lives, how to live at the highest level, and what happens to the soul after we die.

Book Description
Let Us Give Thanks is a collection of everyday experiences that we go through without even thinking about them. Like seeing a fire truck speeding passed us on the street, without even giving thanks for these people who protect us in times of dire need. Or family and friends who lift us up when we are feeling glum. Then there are the spiritual times in our life, such as a rainbow, or a caress of a breeze on our sweaty brow. All of these and more are brought to light in this volume of Let Us Give Thanks. You never know what other people or places you may think of as you read this small collection of poems.
