Book Description
Captain Sir Thomas Moore was a war veteran just like any other British military man. Having served in the military during the Second World War, in India, and in the Burma campaign, he was living a quiet life in a village called Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire with his younger daughter Hannah, and her small family. Captain Tom, a moniker he earned in the twilight days of his life for the unprecedented service he did to humanity during a time when the world was in dire need of it. The year 2020 was calamitous in more ways than one for the entire world. A single-celled microorganism had laid siege on the world, leaving the masses defenseless and vulnerable. Millions have died so far and though vaccines are now available within a year after the pandemic commenced, the virus is far from gone. It is mutating at rocket speed and new variants that are manifold times more infectious than the original one. The healthcare systems were inundated with patients and healthcare officials, doctors, paramedics had to work around the clock to meet with the mounting casualties. People were dying like flies and there was an unprecedented fear among the masses because here was an unheard-of virus that was a super-spreader, and the death toll reached new heights despite the relatively low mortality rate. The fear of death was exasperated by the fact that no cure or vaccine was available at that time because it was a new virus. Amidst all the chaos that ensued following the pandemic, stringent lockdowns, closure of airports, and the overall lugubrious milieu, one man emerged as a beacon of unconditional love and selfless compassion. Captain Tom didn’t climb Everest, nor did he conquer the English Channel, Captain Tom simply walked into the hearts of the people by taking 100 steps on his garden, an act meant to raise money for the harried healthcare workers. He was profoundly touched by their service, dedication, and commitment to care for the sick even when they knew they were jeopardizing their own life and the lives of their family. Walking up and down your garden is not a remarkable feat but Captain Tom was a 99-year-old veteran whose 100th birthday was fast approaching and he couldn’t simply sit and warm his seat when the world was in a shutdown.

Book Description
A handbook about your life before birth and your life after death, it explains the how and why of experiences with space people and dimensions. Humanity in its many forms is a "puppet on the stage of creation."From the Introduction:"The Truth! The Whole Truth! And Nothing But the Truth!"As We Know It!"The game of creation has a very definite purpose. We live, move and have our existence in consciousness, the Great Power that is creating all forms, that is everywhere, that is doing everything, that is experiencing all things, all of the time. This Consciousness, this Power, this Logos, Holy Ghost (it has many names) is all around us, even inside of us, and in all things that we are aware of. In one sense it is like electricity. Electricity is all around us. It can only be experienced when we understand the laws that govern the use of it. Then we can make it a part of our daily lives."Some memories of the previous life (called Sanskaras in India), understandings, and experiences will

Book Description
A page turning drama exposing one of the biggest social scandals of our time. One father's fight against parental alienation, failings of the UK Family Law process, and the apathy of the system we entrust with a duty of care to our children. A story of our time, a story of divorce, separation and the way fathers are faced with almost insurmountable barriers to having ongoing relationships with their children when the parents separate. In many ways this is every father's story. But it is also a story that will resonate with some mothers who, like Thomas in this book, also face being eradicated from their children's lives.

Book Description
Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference. Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these “dark nights” in clinical terms as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. But Moore shows how honoring these periods of fragility as periods of incubation and positive opportunities to delve the soul’s deepest needs can provide healing and a new understanding of life’s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rites of passage, revealing an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on such topics as: • The healing power of melancholy • The sexual dark night and the mysteries of matrimony • Finding solace during illness and in aging • Anxiety, anger, and temporary Insanities • Linking creativity, spirituality, and emotional struggles • Finding meaning and beauty in the darkness
