Book Description
With over one million novels in print, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes, and predictions in a way that builds confidence that allows Joel to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture as a guide to understanding the past and the future. Drawing on his experience in Washington, his own exclusive interviews with world leaders, and his astute political acumen, Joel makes sense of the events surrounding the Middle East. He connects information in a way that will make you understand and really care about the world's most important events and how they impact your life--from gas prices to your bank account.Epicenter is about: Change--big changes, dramatic changes, changes that will transform the world as we know it. Answers--what the changes are underway in the world's most important countries. Insight--readers will understand the trajectory of world events by being taken inside the governments of Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, and more. Accessibility--aimed for a wide audience in both the general and Christian markets. Faith--Joel shares his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture. Epicenter will answer questions like: Will Iraq go from bad to worse? Will Israel and her Arab neighbors find peace, or is another major Middle East war just around the corner? If the new, post-Soviet Russia is our friend, why is the Kremlin creating a new class of thermonuclear weapons and building an alliance with radical Islam?

A must listen to book.......2007-10-11
A very thought provoking book. Everyone needs to listen to this book or read the printed copy. Our national leaders should read/listen to this book.
Dot Connecting .......2007-10-11
I watched the documentary based on this book. Great production, solid historical facts, and then the conclusion: God will save Israel without the help of the EU, the UN or USA. God will do this miraculously while we stand around and watch in awe.
These are the same folks who brought us "Left Behind", the apocolyptic series based on the book of Revelation. (Remember the "rapture" craze of the 90's?) Same folks, different crisis. Only this one is based on the book of Ezekiel.
An excellent read for those interested Mid-Eastern philosophy & prophecy.......2007-10-05
If you are a student of Biblical prophecy and the current mid--eastern conflicts, you will be fascinated by the author's ability to tie past, present, and fututre events together. If this topic isn't your "cup of tea," this book could provide fodder to create an interest - definitely worth reading.
Very Interesting-Must Read For Jew & Gentile.......2007-09-29
I found this book to be very interesting if you like end of times prophecy.
Couldn't Put it Down!!.......2007-09-19
Honestly, one of the best books I have ever read. He does a fantastic job of juxtaposing todays headlines with scripture...amazing!
Book Description
According to Hwee-Yong Jang, the world as we know it will end in 2012. Are you ready?
Part of a grand cosmic plan called the Gaia project, the Earth is already undergoing a purification process-marked by natural disasters, disease, war, and social chaos-that will ultimately end in the planet's ascension to a new dimension. Jang's prophetic proclamation-communicated to him through channeling, dreams, and energy reading-explains countless mysteries about the world, including the origin of the Earth and mankind, the collapse of Lemuria and Atlantis, reincarnation, karma, crop circles, UFO sightings, auras, past-life memories, and more. This mind-blowing text also shows us how to prepare for this "Great Change" and take part in a universal expansion of consciousness.

Something to think about !.......2007-09-04
Have we been mislead all these years? After reading this book I have more questions. I have crossed this theory in other readings. This book is very detailed on The Gaia Project talking about earth's beginning and then leading to earth and mankind's future. This book was a wake up call for me. I am now researching as much as I can on earth changes. I need to know!!
Interesting theory, boring style.......2007-09-03
I did not like the book. He was too sure about his being the only truth, and that doesn't go with my way of interpreting life.
Changing Times.......2007-07-28
Do you believe that the recent Earth changes are nothing? You may change your mind after reading Hwee-Yong Jang's latest book. He asserts that the Earth is a special planet of learning that was conceived and carried out by "Beings of Origin" who named this experiment The Gaia Project. If you are familiar with New Age material you will not be surprised by chapters that include the history of the Earth (emphasis on Lemuria and Atlantis), reincarnation, karma and the workings of the human body. These are well done but written for someone who has not been exposed to this kind of material. What is quite shocking is the revelations about the predetermined Earth Changes which began in 2005 whose purpose are to basically end the Earth/Gaia experiment. This involves purification of the Earth through massive crust movements, chaos, war, disease, ending with the collapse of the material world as we know it in 2009. Shocking and scary stuff, but Jang puts his spin on the information by saying that the purpose of his book is to let the "awakened" know that this is the last big bang that on a soul level they signed up for. Anyone here now chose to be here to experience this ending to ulitmately increase at an unprecedented rate soul evolution. Does it speak to you? Read it and find out.
A tad wierd for my taste.......2007-07-09
I need to tell you up front that I'm pretty open minded, and I have no problem believing in the possibility of Atlantis and Lemuria and such, (my brother, God rest his soul, used to talk about Atlantis and Lemuria all the time) and there are dots of things within the book that assimilate with my truth, but there is a lot of stuff that just does not ring true for me. Granted, I have only gone through about a third of the book so far, but my inner voice keeps saying "Nah" way too much.
So far, this is reading like a 1950s sci-fi movie to me, actually a low budget one. I should mention that I am very spiritual and very God-based and angel-based in my thinking. (No, I'm not a religious fanatic, either.)This book reads more like a bunch of super aliens control everything with sub-alien coordination divisions. And I absolutely CANNOT believe that the spiritual plane shut down in 2005 like the book says. No way! I think somehow that I would know it if it did.
I bought the book because I do believe that there are major shifts coming in the Earth and its people and I wanted to see what this author had to say, but I must say I find this very difficult reading for me because it just don't "feel" right. I have my own beliefs on what will happen, at least some sketchy beliefs.
I will come back to this review when I force myself to finish reading this book. I won't dare say the author is wrong, but I just can't believe most of what he's saying. I will say, though, that each of us should seek information and decide for ourselves what our own truth is. You'll know your truth when you read something and the vibration matches what's in your heart.
By the way, the 3 stars was a gift cause I guess I didn't wanna be mean. I'll keep my channeled wisdom and the writer can keep his. Sorry.
Update: I am REALLY trying to pick this up and finish it, but we're talking bamboo shoots under the fingernails here. So little time and so much [other] stuff to read. :-) I think another reviewer was right on target when they said "I do not think it was of the vibrational quality of Christ or Buddha or Krishna". That's what I'm also feeling. The vibes just don't match mine. It feels like "yuk" to me. That's why I believe I am having such a hard time even picking it back up.
May I suggest "The Mayan Code" by Barbara Hand Clow instead.
Not impressed.......2007-07-07
The ideas presented in this book are at odds with some of the things I have been reading. If you are looking for reassurance, don't look here. The theme of this book seems to be gloom and doom. There are better things out there.

Restore your faith in STAR TREK.......2005-07-12
DEEP SPACE NINE was always the most literate corner of the STAR TREK universe. It's no surprise, then, that this tightly-edited anthology uses a clever framing story which allows us to imagine that all the stories are being told by a post-middle-aged Jake Sisko, Deep Space Nine's own resident author, reflecting on his time aboard Deep Space Nine. While this means that PROPHECY AND CHANGE isn't technically a part of the so-called "Season 8" relaunch of the series in book form, it does make it a valuable prologue to these newer adventures.
Within just a few pages, you'll quickly see that this is a different kind of STAR TREK than most people knew existed. This is a rich, messy universe, far, far beyond the scope of the other STAR TREK series. In these post-ENTERPRISE days when STAR TREK seems to be a disgraced genre, the one constant source of good new material is the DEEP SPACE NINE line. This first stop along the way back to STAR TREK will both give you new material while reminding you of the high points of each of the seven televised seasons.
Perhaps the best story of the lot is Kevin Summers' "Ha'mara", which takes us all the way back to Sisko's first journey to the Bajor that would become his home over the course of the television series. Notable for giving us our first real look at a lot of introductions that the television pilot left out, it weaves together broad political themes with the very personal struggles of Ben and Jake Sisko. DEEP SPACE NINE was always remarkable for its deft handling of the big and small pictures, but maybe there's never been quite as poignant a moment in any part of the DEEP SPACE NINE legacy--televised or literary--as Summers gives us here. Without giving too much away, I'll just say that in the midst of exploring exactly why the Bajorans were so distrustful of the new Federation presence, Summers takes the time to give us a portrait of the exact moment Jake Sisko became a writer. So simply moving was this scene that I can still remember it now, some two years after having read it.
If there had been nothing else in this book but that one moment, I would have felt my purchase price fully justified. Happily, there's so very much more in this rich collection, which leaves no major character without a truly signature moment.
Just like old times.......2004-07-24
Reading this book felt like watching the television show (that's a good thing). Each story was probably about the same length as a TV episode, and had similar formats. Overall it was entertaining. A few of the stories I could have done without, but it was still readable. I would highly recommend this to someone who is feeling nostalgic and misses those old days.
A wonderful collection of DS9 short stories.......2004-06-08
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. To mark the event, Pocket Books produced a short story collection called Prophecy & Change. Using the conceit from the episode "The Visitor," the framing story has an older Jake Sisko visited on a rainy night by a young woman, an aspiring writer. He spends the night regaling her with tales of his time on the station, which these happen to be. Despite the fact that a couple of the stories don't really fit this mold (the Garak story being the most unlikely for Jake to know), it's a nice idea that really works well. I can say that there are no bad stories in this volume, and some very good ones make this an excellent collection.
The stories take place along the timeline of the TV series, beginning with a story that takes place days after the series premiere, "The Emissary," and ending with a story set during the post-series novels. Each season is represented except the second, with most of the stories weighted toward the end of the series. While the stories seem to be leaning toward Quark and Odo, each character gets his/her time in the spotlight, which is a nice touch. Sisko and Kira are the most shortchanged, with only the first story, "Ha'Mara" (by Kevin G. Summers) concentrating on them. "Ha'Mara is an effective tale that ties together "The Emissary" and "Past Prologue" and explaining how the relationship between Sisko and Kira mellowed a little bit between the two. Kai Opaka proclaims that Sisko is the emissary from the Prophets. Kira has a lot of trouble believing that some outsider, especially somebody from the Federation could be their savior. They get a lot of time to argue, however, when they and two Bajoran children are trapped in an underground labyrinth by a cave-in. It's a very effective character story for the two of them, and the story is only marred by the heavy-handed characterization of Colonel Day, a Bajoran militia member who would also love to throw the Federation off Bajor and who hopes to use the cave-in as a way to discredit Opaka.
A few of the stories explain little continuity bits from the series that never were really explained. Thankfully, these stories move beyond that and are good stories in themselves, or else the book would have serious problems. "The Orb of Opportunity" (by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels) tells us why Nog decided to strike out on his own and eventually join Starfleet. In this story, an orb is being returned to the Bajorans by the Cardassians, but it gets hijacked by a band of Maquis (Federation citizens who are fighting the Cardassians because a treaty put their homeworlds in Cardassian territory). The orb is in a Ferengi lockbox, and only somebody with the ears of a Ferengi can open it. Rom refuses to go along after being browbeaten by his brother Quark, so Kai Winn secretly enlists Nog's help. After having an orb vision of the future, Nog even decides to forego payment in advance to help! He sees an opportunity that he feels he has to take. The story is very touching, with everybody being characterized wonderfully. Winn is the perfect balance between wily manipulator and a Bajoran religious leader who just wants what's best for her people. She's almost sympathetic, but then she does something that just makes you want to shoot her.
The book has a nice mixture of old and new writers, which is another plus. The pride and joy of the book, however, is another tale by Andrew J. Robinson, the man who played Garak on the series. The last story in the collection, it details the story of Garak and how he is helping Cardassia heal from the horrors of Dominion occupation, where millions died. Some time has passed, and the Cardassians have been through civil war and massive plague which has wiped out even more of his people. This takes place after A Stitch in Time and a stage play written by Robinson and performed at conventions when Robinson and Alexander Siddig are both there. Robinson writes Garak so well, and the story is only marred by the fact that I felt lost at times when he was referring to the events of the play. He tries to put explanations in there, but it just seemed too much. I think it was a mistake to have it be a direct sequel to something that hardly anybody (relatively speaking) is going to see. Still, Robinson shows that he is a gifted writer as well as actor, making the conflicts interesting even when the reader doesn't quite understand what's going on.
As I said earlier, there really isn't a bad story in the bunch. The weakest story is probably the Ezri Dax story, "Chiaroscuro" (by Geoffrey Thorne), which has Ezri going to Pandora station to open a puzzle that Jadzia Dax set so that only another Dax would be able to do it. The story takes place shortly after Ezri boards Deep Space Nine so she's still unsure of herself. I found that the writing didn't grab me and the puzzles that Ezri had to solve just weren't that interesting. Ezri sees a side of Jadzia Dax that she's never seen, but neither have we so we don't really identify with it. It's a young Jadzia, inexperienced and emotional, and ultimately the story just falls flat.
Overall, this is a wonderful collection. It's so great that I spent a Sunday morning plowing through it (which I never do) because I couldn't put it down. That's the seal of approval as far as I'm concerned. If you're a Deep Space Nine fan, you owe it to yourself to pick this up right away. And I'm anxiously awaiting Tales from the Dominion War as well.

The tour de force of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.......2004-01-26
As I stated in my subject line, this book is the tour de force of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, revisiting the most complicated Star Trek series ever made and tying up loose ends.
The anthology consists of 10 short stories which go a little deeper into the story of Deep Space Nine, from 'Emissary' to 'What You Leave Behind', this book fills in all the blanks, all the loose ends (few that there were) from all 7 years of Deep Space Nine.
The authors are the 'newer' breed of Trek authors, mainly those that have come through the Strange New Worlds competition and written some of the DS9 relaunch books. If the stories from 'Prophecy and Change' and merely the 'early works' of these authors, then I shudder to think just how brilliant their writing will be when these men and women hit their prime.
The stories themselves are mastefully told, and are presented as stories being told by Jake to the young woman that came to see him in 'The Visitor', when Jake is an old man.
Each story is great, but the standouts are definitely 'Three Sides to Every Story', 'Foundlings', and 'Chiaroscuro'. Each of these stories are just brilliant, and cover the last 2 seasons of DS9, which was where the series really hit it's peak.
My only problem with this book was the last story, the Garak story by Andrew J. Robinson. I throughly enjoyed his previous work about Garak, entitled 'A Stitch in Time', but I did not enjoy his contribution to this book, entitled 'The Calling'. I found the story disjointed and at some points just plain confusing. Robinson made some reference to a play entitled 'The Dream Box' which I have never heard of. I'm guessing that this play is the step between 'A Stitch in Time' and 'The Calling', but I have never seen this play, so 'The Calling' was utterly confusing to me.
My only other negative point about this book was concerning a specific plot point. Please be warned, this paragraph contains spoilers. If you wish to avoid them, skip this paragraph. In 'Three Sides to Every Story', Ziyal gives Jake a precious Bajoran earring belonging to her mother, asking Jake to keep is safe for a while. After Ziyal's death, Jake goes to Ziyal's body and considers giving the earring back, but then decides that he should keep it, thus fufilling his promise to Ziyal. This was a wonderful piece of writing, but I think that the author could have gone a step further. The last part of the book is the conclusion of the meeting between Jake and the young woman that comes to see him. I believe that Ziyal's earring should have been mentioned there as still being kept safe by Jake. This would work in two ways, firstly, it would add weight the Jake-Ziyal story by making direct reference to it in the 'objective' sections at either end of the book. Secondly, it would help to reinforce the fact that Jake had an active role in these events. It's a fairly trivial point to be sure, but it was something that I felt should have been included in the story. But that is really a matter of opinion.
Overall, if you are a fan of DS9, either casual or serious, then you should buy this book. It's absolutely fantastic.
Read it just for the Garak story! The rest awesome too!.......2004-01-21
I bought this novel for two reasons.
1) To read the much-anticipated follow up to Garak's life in "A Stitch in Time", and
2) To see how O'Brien and Bashir made up after their fight in "Hippocratic Oath".
I was NOT disappointed. In fact, describing my reactions via a negative does not do justice. IT WAS EUROPHIC!
To be honest I have yet to read the other stories which take place during, not after, the DS9 series. [The stories are almost entirely fill-in-the-blank stories, covering things that were not covered in the show but nonetheless happened to the characters, be they fictional or not.] But if the first two stories I read are any indication this collection of stories is amazing. If the rest suck, it was well worth buying PLAIN and SIMPLY for the Garak story!!
I have now also read the Jake-Ziyal story. It is very excellent. The similarities between the two makes one wonder why they never actually DID develop a relationship on the show, since quite obviously they should have! 5 out of 5.

Waste of TIME!.......2000-02-15
Complete rubbish, nothing you've not heard before. Much of the book's dates have passed to no avail. I hope the author's got their cash and ran while they could! Only buy this if interested in researching bad prophets
beware of charlatans.......1999-05-29
don't waste your money on this book or others like it or 'new' america maps. what kind of people make money on what should be available to the public to protect themselve$?
Waste of ones time!.......1999-02-05
I found this book a true waste of time. Most of the information was outdated and many of the prophecies have past their deadline for fruition. Many Californians will find it disappointing to know that their great state should have fallen in the ocean by now (97-98). Can't wait to here the explanation for the changing deadline!

Reviewed by Tom Morton.......2007-03-26
Ok, at the risk of sounding inane, The Song of an Emerald Dove, by Xanna Vinson, is a bewitching tale of modern-day Wiccans. Too strong? How about spellbinding? Charming? I could go on...but I'll spare you my craftiness.
If one has the mental fortitude to withstand a slightly-too-lengthy set-up, Dove is a wonderful read about heroes (complete with capes, though not the same kind super-heroes sport) who just want to serve their Goddess, saving Earth in the process. The Ladies of the world realize, through the guidance of their High Priestess, that they must somehow stop a global disaster from annihilating most of the world's populace. By tying in actual events that occurred in recent years, i.e. the Unibomber, the Twin Towers, the USS Cole, etc, to the coven's mission, the actual threat can be felt by the reader.
The main characters of this short novel are women from all walks of life, who have to deal with real issues; jobs, relationships, aging, etc. Vinson does a great job of fleshing out these women to make them seem as real as the girl next door, as well as that girl's mother and grandmother! Followers of the Wiccan path will also be pleased to note the fine detail that the author puts into the ritual scenes, without making them seem cheap or cheesy.
The single issue that I had with this book was with the introduction of the military presence. Whose side were they on? It felt like Vinson needed an antagonist so she went with the old standby, only with a new twist. Secret military projects are always a bonus in my estimation, especially ones that hold a ring of truth to them, but the tie-in to the main plot of the story falls a bit short.
Overall, I would recommend Dove as an interesting read, resplendent with beautiful imagery and a heartfelt message of Peace on Earth. Not just for humanity's sake, but for that of Mother Earth as well.
Feminist and Spooky.......2006-10-17
I had high hopes for reading this book, but it disappointed in many ways. The characters were cardboard cutouts, so that it was hard to tell them apart (even with the cheat-sheet at the back of the book) and even by the end of the book I didn't care enough about them to care about what happened to them. The author goes into too much detail about things that don't matter, like what people are having for dinner and what comes to them in their junkmail, and spends not nearly enough time and effort building interesting and believeable characters.
All of which I could have forgiven if the "message" of the book had been worth it. However, a big part of the message was that Mother Earth is in trouble and the reason She is in trouble is that men always mess things up over and over again, so that a few certain special select women are then called to fix things up over and over again. This time around, they form a group who do remote viewing in order to find out what is wrong and fix it, during which they apparently come to the notice of the government, who also has their remote viewing brigade.
Sadly, male characters were definitely given even more short-shrift in this book than the female ones, when they weren't being castigated altogether. The writing was clumsy at times and could have used a good edit or two. Overall, not a good book and one that seems to be feminist in all the wrong directions.
This One Will Stay With You, For a Long time.......2006-04-14
Beyond the suspense, the well crafted narrrative,and character development,the events that unfold stay on your mind...maybe never to leave. The characters, especially the main character, leaves an imprint that feels at once familiar and at the same time, life-altering........
This is one to read and keep ..to circulate extra copies of...to share..to act upon and to get others to act upon..
Don't wait...snatch this one up and get reading!
Can't Stop Thinking About this Story.......2005-10-14
I borrowed "The Song of an Emerald Dove" and read it in two days -- which my friend says has to be a record! I didn't really think that I would have a single thing in common with a group of New England witches! Turns out, I feel like we were living parallel lives. I bought my own copy.
The women in this story lead normal lives, hold down jobs, and raise children -- except for one minor detail. They are all witches. Not the ridiculous nose-wrinkling ones from early television and definitely not the hook-nosed ones in the Halloween displays. They are decent, caring women who are trying their damnedest to save the planet -- and that's not as far-fetched as you'd think -- not today!
Granted that it took a while to feel comfortable being drawn into the rituals in this book, but I have to say that once I got used to it -- it felt good! These women have gotten psychic messages that the world is being threatened. They are as dubious as I was, but that soon changed.
In a world where more and more television and film introduces us to after-death contacts, magic, and the supernatural, I think this book deserves a look-see by anyone who enjoys good writing, a well-handled plot, and hard-won victories. I want to see more stories from Xanna Vinson.
And while I'm at it, let me tell you to also pick up Dr. Jean Bolen's newest book, "Urgent Message from Mother." Look it up here on Amazon and you'll see what I'm driving at. "Dove" makes you feel good about women feeling empowered. "Message" shows you how to do it yourself!
But you're going to have to buy your own -- I'm never parting with either of them!
You feel like you're there.......2005-10-05
Vinson is a master at description. You feel like you're there and that helps you get drawn into the mysterious happenings and visions in her small circle of friends.

Book Description
A visionary quest for personal and planetary transformation.

The Touchstone is for those who enjoyed stories like: The Celestine Prophecy, PsyEarth Quest, Balance Point, Earthfire and Queen of the Sun.
Book Description
"Riding the Tide of Change" is a unique book as it covers both, the metaphysical and physical aspects of preparing for the events often referred to as Earth changes. Unlike many of the metaphysically oriented books on Earth changes, "Riding the Tide of Change" avoids grand theories, sensationalism or far-out speculations. And unlike most of the disaster preparedness and survival books, it explains clearly that hoarding of food and survival gear is a futile endeavor if you neglect the inner work of opening, healing, and releasing.
Based on a view of humans as, above all, spiritual beings the author explains clearly and succinctly the metaphysical laws underlying the process of manifestation and healing. He outlines the role we play as co-creators and why the healing of ourselves and the planet are intricately interwoven. Dr. Luthke explains the stages of the transformation process and gives the reader tools to advance the inner work needed in preparation for a New Millennium.
For those who wish to take practical steps towards preparing for the Earth changes, the appendix offers a comprehensive list of preparedness items and where to get them. This alone is a unique feature and more than worth the price of the book. Accessible, yet profound, "Riding the Tide of Change" offers a message of hope and empowerment!

Book Description
There is a general unrest and undercurrent of fear present in the North American population today. Many of the elders say that it is not right to share this knowledge with anyone non-native. I say, we are all the Creator's children, for we have the same Father or Creator in common.
People have injured our Turtle Island (Mother Earth) almost beyond the point of no return, and we are to reap the rewards for our indifference. Mother Earth is angry, for we have injured the soul that was left in our keeping, and this soul will fight back to repair its aura in some terrible ways.
We have much to endure to see our way through the devastation that is to come into our lives.
What would you do if: the power went off for a week or longer during the winter? the grocery stores closed? you had to evacuate your home suddenly because of fire or flood? there was a medical emergency and rescue personnel couldn't reach you?

Profiteering from Prophesy..........2003-04-21
If you are looking for a real discussion about these important prophesies...one with a researched and clear understanding of the prophesies and their *traditional* meanings, then you should avoid this book. If you want to read an uninformed stream of consciousness that is a cross between babble and rant with a lot of airy opinions and unsubstantiated woo-woo thrown in, then this is your book. These two "writers" are profiteering off of sacred teachings and people's fears. They come across as underqualified and overly self-impressed. They should be embarrassed...
Most Excellent filled with Ways of Change!.......2000-08-18
Upon reading this book I was thrown into new thoughts and more culture than the average American neighborhood. Hearing these words of wisdom turned my soul unto a brighter level. I really enjoyed reading this and I think anyone interested in Prophecy would be well tuned to read this book as well. I simply read it in 3 days time in my free time and I find myself wanting to read it over and over. In these times of global warming and the severe heat and fires on the Earth and Political change I found that this was a suitable guide to making change in my personal life and getting in touch with a side that often remains hidden from myself and others. I hope to read more from this Author and I highly recommend it. Thanks. God bless.
