Book Description
In, Reaching Back to Touch My Soul: Thoughts on Love, Laughter and Living, everyone has a chance to read about the parts of life that matter most: love, laughter, and living a meaningful life. In today's world, which is filled with so much nonessential data that clings to our mind like tissue paper to a shoe. Reaching Back to Touch My Soul gives us a chance to reconnect not only to each other but also to the often forgotten parts of ourselves. The stories and essays in the book came into the world as op-ed pieces for The Virgin Islands Daily News. From different times, places and themes they have emerged as a family of ideas and grown as one. There are three major themes in the book. The first is Love, the second, Laughter, and the last Living Choosing Love as the starting point was easy, according to author Linda DePass-Creque, "Love breathes life into everything else. It is from love that everything else flows" The theme Laughter is a potpourri of topics and commentary written to make you smile as you take in its message. The last theme in this delightful book, Living, explores many of life's "basic skills", including coping, understanding, tolerance, friendship and sometimes making sense out of nonsense! With the wonderful illustrations of each theme , its humor, and its wise, down- to- earth philosophy, this book is well worth reading.

Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012 A bold approach to understanding the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological perspective by one of the country's most prominent anthropologists. Through a series of intimate, illuminating interviews with various members of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations across the country, Tanya Luhrmann leaps into the heart of evangelical faith. Combined with scientific research that studies the effect that intensely practiced prayer can have on the mind, When God Talks Back examines how normal, sensible people—from college students to accountants to housewives, all functioning perfectly well within our society—can attest to having the signs and wonders of the supernatural become as quotidian and as ordinary as laundry. Astute, sensitive, and extraordinarily measured in its approach to the interface between science and religion, Luhrmann's book is sure to generate as much conversation as it will praise.

Book Description
What we refer to as “modern man” sprang into existence some forty thousand years ago. These ancestors of ours entered a world dominated by Neanderthals, a hardy bunch, stronger than we and equally as smart. How we managed to survive and the Neanderthals did not is a story that has never been told. Until now. An ancient astronaut awakening from a 40-thousand-year sleep has no idea who he is or why he is floating naked in the middle of an empty ocean. Chance brings him to combine forces with a young woman on a passing sailboat about to be murdered by Bahamian drug runners. Driven by separate goals but increasingly attracted to one another, the two plot to turn the tables on a confused but determined mob. As the astronaut slowly recalls his ancient past, the gripping story of how he (and we) got here unfolds.
