Book Description
"A Tibetan monk came back as a minister but had to return to Tibet to locate a manuscript he had hidden centuries ago. A prehistoric cannibal from the Great Indian Desert came back as the manager of an elegant apartment complex. A woman, in love with her cousin but prevented from marrying him, came back to meet her lover again--but this time she was a man. A slave with a talent for painting came back as a white woman, also a painter--but she can only paint black faces. These came back! And they remembered. We have all come back, but we don't all recall how and when we lived before. How often have you thought, upon meeting someone for the first ime, 'I know you,' even though circumstances seemed to indicate you could never have met? You fall into conversation as if you were old friends; you seem to know so much about each other. Perhaps you are continuing a friendship that was interrupted a hundred--or even a thousand--years ago. We all have lived many lifetimes. As children we seem to be able to remember them. In adolescence, as we are more and more influenced by society, we lose touch with our past lives in confronting the problems of the present. But sometimes, in some people, the memories and recollections return in later years, and they are as real as the memories and recollections of the present lifetime. They may come simply in a dream or in meditation or in meeting a stranger who is not really a stranger, or they may come in more exotic forms--told by a medium or an astrologer or in an out-of-body experience. Richard Webb has sought out people who have such memories. He has interviewed them and, where possible, has attempted to confirm or deny their stories by public record. In These Came Back he tells sixteen of the countless stories he has collected. Reincarnation cannot yet be proved scientifically, but neither can it be disproved. But for these who came back, there can be no other explanation."--front and back flaps.

Book Description
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "I had the choice to come back ... or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place" In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts—in words and on video—stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!

Book Description
``Gandhi saw progress in very much the same way that Rabindranath Tagore explained it to Westerners. The West sees progress mainly in material terms-something visual and concrete: once one travelled in horse drawn carriages, now one can fly in planes. But, as Tagore pointed out, the true Eastern mind doesn't see the outward signs. A tree which stands in one place for years also progresses-it is constantly revewing itself but the changes are taking place inside it, unseen. So also it is with man: he truly progresses only when he makes the necessary adjustments within himself-the `know thyself' of Socrates''. This is how the author explains what happened to him. His early life was highly influenced by the western style education he received in Christian boarding schools in India and later in England. He became part of the western concept of progress going for the outer gloss. But Jew-baiting at school and racial discrimination in England forced him back to his Jewish and Indian roots. He made the correction in his inner life while living in a tent in the Negev desert where he wrote this book. From being an admirer of Churchill, be become a follower of Gandhi. He argues in this book that non-violence is the only solution to the crisis in the Middle East.

Book Description
A domestic story told in numerous original and endearing voices. The story opens with Wesley, a tenth grader, and involves his two sets of parents (the mom and her second husband, a very thoughtful doctor; and the father who has become a major gay lawyer/activist and his fabulous "significant other" who owns a restaurant). Wesley is a fabulous kid, whose equally fabulous best friend Theo has just won a big school election and simultaneously surprises everyone in his life by announcing that he is gay. No one is more surprised than Wesley, who actually lives temporarily with his gay father and partner, so that he can get to know his rather elusive dad. When a dramatic and unexpected trauma befalls the boys in school, all the parents converge noisily in love and well-meaning support. But through it all, each character ultimately is made to face certain challenges and assumptions within his/her own life, and the playing out of their respective life priorities and decisions is what makes this novel so endearing and so special.
