Religion has caused much strife in the world due to misinterpretations and mistranslations. Many don’t take the time to learn about the other belief systems they decide to judge. People like to think their way is right and others’ are wrong, which is ego. So many people treat others horribly in the name of religion. After much study of religions, Gnosticism, early Christianity, philosophy, biblical scholars, and spiritual teachers, Janine Palmer (Silver Moon) shares profound messages of different perspective to assist with ascension and rising above falsehood and illusion and back toward love.

The path to spiritual enlightenment is not for the faint of heart and takes much longer than we imagine. The good news is that when we change how we look at our lives and learn to live from within, we can end all our suffering and free ourselves to embrace the absolute freedom we came here to experience. In a guide to spiritual growth and development, EJ Seals-Jackson shares insight from her own journey as well as wisdom from amazing teachers who have traveled through the dark night of the soul to emerge as powerful spiritual guides who are passionate about helping others settle into the flow of happiness. With a focus on living from within, Seals-Jackson guides us to: explore the secret to happiness; close the gap between negative and positive emotions; customize our lives according to our own design; refrain from activities that distract us; change the way we look at things; and ensure the emotional health of our children. Living from Within shares insight and wisdom from spiritual teachers that invite us to tap into the happiness that is already within us.

“Filled with 1960s nostalgia and a host of deftly drawn characters” (Renée Rosen, author of Park Avenue Summer), Summer Darlings pulls back the curtain on one mysterious and wealthy family as seen through the eyes of their nanny—a college student who, while falling in love on Martha’s Vineyard, is also forced to reckon with the dark side of privilege. In 1962, coed Heddy Winsome leaves her hardscrabble Irish Brooklyn neighborhood behind and ferries to glamorous Martha’s Vineyard to nanny for one of the wealthiest families on the island. But as she grows enamored with the alluring and seemingly perfect young couple and chases after their two mischievous children, Heddy discovers that her academic scholarship at Wellesley has been revoked, putting her entire future at risk. Determined to find her place in the couple’s wealthy social circles, Heddy nurtures a romance with the hip surfer down the beach while wondering if the better man for her might be a quiet, studious college boy instead. But no one she meets on the summer island—socialite, starlet, or housekeeper—is as picture-perfect as they seem, and she quickly learns that the right last name and a house in a tony zip code may guarantee privilege, but that rarely equals happiness. Praised as “a perfect summer book packed with posh people, glamor, mystery, and one clever, brave, young nanny” by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer, Summer Darlings promises entrance to a rarefied world, for anyone who enjoyed Tigers in Red Weather or The Summer Wives.

We Came Here to Play takes place in a futuristic community in the Escalante of southern Utah. It is a story of empowerment, connection, and triumph, as six interdimensionals separately find their way through a time-space wormhole to “play the game” hosted by the community. They are the millennials from this time-space reality—each with unique gifts. The questions they seek to answer in the game weave their paths together and anchor them in what it is to live in a world free of fear, separation, and not-enoughness, so they can return and help pull us through to that possibility.

Of a noble and distinguished family disenfranchised by the Bolshevik revolution, Vladimir Trubetskoi (1892-1937) alone remmained in Russia, and suffered the consequences.His life and experiences are well documented in this remarkable volume, a selection of his writings that reflects his comfortable prewar existence and his post-revolutionary poverty, uncertainty, and displacement, all conveyed with humor and ironic detachment. Including selections from Trubetskoi's memoirs, his letters from exile in Uzbekistan, and his hunting stories, the chapters of this volume offer autobiographical narratives of the self, creative "reflections," ethnography, and, most of all, uniquely evocative and informative instances of history lived and recorded with quiet power and irrepressible character. In his letters from exile, Trubetskoi describes his grim situation in Central Asia-how he snatched moments to write between mornings playing piano in a ballet studio and late nights in a restaurant band, struggling with the heat, the insect-borne illness, and the problems of a large, uprooted family. His memoirs of 1911-12, "Notes of a Cuirassier," are the culmination of his efforts and they convey in vivid detail the glittering prewar world of an elite Russian Guards regiment. These reminiscences as well as his stories offer a glimpse of what life was like for a citizen of Imperial Russia who tried to make a life for himself in the new Soviet state. Instructive, amusing, moving, Trubetskoi's stories are also an inspiring example of how a person of grace and true nobility meets large-scale social and political upheaval.
