Languages : en
Pages : 899
Book Description
In the first book in the epic Lamb among the Stars series, author Chris Walley weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and supernatural into something unique in science fiction. Twelve thousand years into the future, the human race has spread across the galaxy to hundreds of terraformed worlds. The effects of the Fall have been diminished by the Great Intervention, and peace and contentment reign under the gentle rule of the Assembly. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. On the remotest planet of Farholme, Forester Merral D’Avanos hears one simple . . . lie. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and must be fought. What will this mean for a people to whom war and evil are ancient history? Thus begins the epic that has been described as “If C. S. Lewis and Tolkien had written Star Wars.” The Shadow and Night was previously published in two volumes: The Shadow at Evening and The Power of the Night.

Dancers Amongst The Stars
Author: Janny Juddly The Therapist n my Pocket
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 145259936X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This is a very particular kind of self-help book. It is a book of remembering. Our journey is a spiritual one even if we do not always realise it. We humans spend a lot of time trying to work out who we are, looking for meaning, searching for the big picture. Through a series of beautifully evocative and moving stories, uplifting poems, and insightful observational pieces, you are invited to rediscover the truth of who you really are. As a lecturer in Dynamic Therapy, the author's particular area of research and expertise has been the mind-body-soul connection, as underpinned by the latest research in neuroscience and quantum physics. As a therapist, mindfulness coach, and energy worker in private practice, her work has involved integrating this knowledge with leading edge thinking on spirituality, the workings of the human psyche, the impact of our developmental history, and the power of intention and the unconscious mind upon our experienced reality. Her goal is to incorporate this into her own understanding of the spiritual journey as an awakening woman. The stories, poems, and real life vignettes in this book are an invitation to you, as a fellow traveler and spiritual seeker, to see through compassionate eyes where you have come from, the amazing path you are embarked upon, and to view your experience of living this life, which is unique to you alone, from the perspective of who you really are: a magnificent spiritual being of light and love and power living a purposeful human experience.
