Book Description
This book starts out with a story about a guy named Steve Parker who crashes his Harley motorcycle and dies in the first paragraph. In a witty conversational style, Colin then chronicles the adventures Steve has with Joe, another discarnate soul he befriends soon after he dies, before they go together to the light. When they do finally go, they find themselves speeding up the tunnel of light on a Harley, only to be met by Harley, his Angel of Incarnation who then takes Steve through his life review. This, of course, reveals how all the principles of Radical Forgiveness had been working in Steve's life right until and including his death. He also gets to meet all the souls who had assisted him on his soul's journey. As a story it is both touching and funny. But it is also a teaching about Radical Forgiveness, albeit from a very different and unusual angle. Part Two constitutes an opportunity for you to imagine yourself, were you to die in this moment, going through your own life review from that same Radical Forgiveness perspective. This will give you a great deal of insight into your own life and how it has unfolded perfectly according to your own Divine Plan up to now. Part Three provides the opportunity to plan your future having awakened to the truth of who you are. It helps you plan what's next.' This is why we have called it a Radical Karma Workbook.' It will help you put the principles of Radical Forgiveness and Radical Manifestation into practice in your every day life.

Book Description
When the heavens open on the small river town of Occoquan, Virginia, the streets flood and a candle shop is swept away. A Methodist pastor named Harley Camden witnesses the destructive deluge and then discovers, in the debris, a dead man with a crude carving of Satan’s claws in his back. Harley is drawn into the mystery of what caused the flood and who killed the man, while diving into questions of good and evil, body and spirit, humanity and the environment—especially questions about the change in climate that now threatens life around the globe. He discovers that there is a spiritual dimension to every social issue, whether it be the violence of Central American gangs or the racism that leads a black businessman to make a fateful choice. When the windows of the heavens open, surprising truths are revealed about how people can coexist in an interfaith, multicultural community, and how humans can establish a sustainable relationship with the natural world around them.

Founded by patriarch Adam, the town is the site of the Mammoth Cup ski race-a qualifier for the Olympics. But when Wylie Welborn, Adam's illegitimate grandson, returns after a stint in Afghanistan, it reopens a dark moment in Carson family history: the murder of Wylie's father by his jealous and very pregnant wife, Cynthia.
