Condition Good Your Price $1.50 Fathers and Babies is a light and reassuring introduction into the world of fatherhood. Fathers today want to be, and are expected to be, involved parents who bond with their children and help them thrive. Yet, sadly, many new fathers feel excluded from the loop of child care. Because most fathers don't get to spend as much time with their babies as mothers do, men don't learn the everyday skills of baby care. When they attempt to help out during evenings and on weekends, they frustrate themselves and those they are trying to help. Instead of becoming closer to their children, many fathers withdraw, conceding the domain of parenting to mothers. This is unfair to mothers, fathers, and their children. What fathers desperately need is a special baby care training manual that will teach them how to fix a bottle, soothe a bay in the middle of the night, and help a child learn to talk. Fathers who are primary caregivers gain these skills easily. But most fathers are not primary caregivers; and because they can't spend more time with their children, they need help in order to become the great fathers they want to be. Fathers and Babies provides step-by-step instructions accompanied by humorous, real-life pictures that show fathers what to do. The book also explains the important perceptual abilities, language skills, muscular coordination, strength, and concepts of trust and self-esteem that babies need to develop during the first eighteen months of life. The more fathers know about these critical developments, the more fathers will be able to help their babies achieve and the more worthy they will feel as parents.

Cover Price $6.99 Condition Good Your Price $1.50 The Future of Man is a magnificent introduction to the thoughts and writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, one of the few figures in the history of the Catholic Church to achieve renown as both a scientist and a theologian. Trained as a paleontologist and ordained as a Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin devoted himself to establishing the intimate, interdependent connection between science—particularly the theory of evolution—and the basic tenets of the Christian faith. At the center of his philosophy was the belief that the human species is evolving spiritually, progressing from a simple faith to higher and higher forms of consciousness, including a consciousness of God, and culminating in the ultimate understanding of humankind’s place and purpose in the universe. The Church, which would not condone his philosophical writings, refused to allow their publication during his lifetime. Written over a period of thirty years and presented here in chronological order, the essays cover the wide-ranging interests and inquiries that engaged Teilhard de Chardin throughout his life: intellectual and social evolution; the coming of ultra-humanity; the integral place of faith in God in the advancement of science; and the impact of scientific discoveries on traditional religious dogma. Less formal than The Phenomenon of Man and The Divine Milieu, Teilhard de Chardin’s most renowned works, The Future of Man offers a complete, fully accessible look at the genesis of ideas that continue to reverberate in both the scientific and the religious communities.

Cover Price $14.99 Condition Good Your Price $3.00 In Book One of The Lost Teachings of Jesus Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet demonstrate that many of Jesus' original teachings were lost. In Book Two they go one step further. They show how early churchmen--aided and abetted by the Roman emperors Constantine and Justinian--distorted Jesus' true teachings. And robbed you of what he wanted you to know about the power of your own inner Christ. In modeRN vernacular, parable and story, the Prophets provide the missing links. They explain the difference between "Jesus" and "the Christ." They show how the Church's doctrines on sin and the only begotten Son of God have obscured what Jesus really taught about salvation. And how Eastern concepts like karma can be found wrapped in the mysteries he gave the disciples. But most importantly, they recapture the heart of his message--that you, like Jesus, can reconnect with your Divine Source to realize your full potential. Condition Good Your Price $2.00 Mark and Elizabeth Prophet show that the New Testament itself contains unmistakable signs that major portions of Jesus' teaching are missing. Much of it was never recorded. And some of what was recorded was tampered with by numerous editors or lost at the hands of "guardians of the faith" who suppressed it entirely. This volume is a bold reconstruction of the essence of Jesus' message -- both his public teachings to the multitudes and the private teachings given in secret to his closest disciples -- then and now.

Browne talks at length about spirit guides and, in particular, about her own spirit guide, Francine, who provides Sylvia with many unusual facts about the world beyond.

Though readers with preconceived ideas about such things may be put off by Browne's homespun ideas, they should still find this a fascinating book about the beliefs and experiences of a practicing and respected psychic, and they will of course be in heaven over her funny tales and openhearted guidance.

A medic at an isolated accident site suddenly finds the equipment needed to save a life. An imperfect heart is spontaneously made whole.

Such happenings were far too precious to hide in my files." Instead she shares with us a book of wonders: amazing, uplifting, inspiring.
