Book Description
The story begins in Lwów, an important cultural centre of Poland. The city has passed from Polish hands to Russian, then back to being a Polish territory, only to later be handed back to the Russians at the end of World War II. Lwów held the rank of the Second Polish Republic’s third most populous city (after Warsaw and Łódź), and was, at times, second most important cultural and academic centre in Poland. Furthermore, the geographic location of Lwów gave it an important role in stimulating international trade and fostering the city’s and Poland’s economic development. It eventually became part of an independent Ukraine and as I complete this project the same territory is once again being contested with the military might of Russia once again trying to reclaim it. Here is where two families were living their life, unaware of the existence of the other one. What they had to endure before they were able to meet in the end is fascinating and the way fate brought them together is rather surprising. Despite having started in the same city, fate separated them from being aware of one another’s existence until they encountered each other in London.

Book Description
Tito was really enjoying this special daythe last day of 1999, the last day of the twentieth century. He had a great feeling about this evenings celebrations and about the new century that was only hours away. Little did he know that the greatest surprise of the evening was to have nothing to do with the special dishes that he and his wife, Pat, were planning to serve, the entertainment they were to offer during the course of this auspicious night, or the gifts that they had so carefully selected for each of their guests. You could say that Tito and Pat had been mere instruments in a larger, more complex plan not of their making. It had begun long before either of them were even born, and it would shape their lives and the lives of others in the twenty-first century. Sacramento seamlessly interlaces an engaging tale of political, historical, and religious congruence. Reviewed by Brittany Smith, US Review of Books. The book is timely and offers gentle encouragement for our troubled times. Reviewed by S. Marie Vernon, Pacific Book Review.

Book Description
Use this spiritual guide to equip yourself with the tools needed to tear down anxiety and build inner peace. Spiritual people often find that their own expectations of living a life dedicated to a higher power makes them more susceptible to high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either do not work, don’t last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash has helped hundreds of spiritual people overcome fear and anxiety, regain happiness, and feel calmer. In over twenty-five years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception, moment-to-moment body awareness, and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions. Awakening from Anxiety provides valuable psycho-spiritual tools to deepen spiritual awakening and calm fears:Learn what anxiety is and when it becomes a problemUnderstand the six mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxietyDiscover the seven keys to a more calm, confident, courageous lifeKnow how to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true selfExplore spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace If you enjoyed Stop Anxiety from Stopping You and First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, Awakening from Anxiety will take your healing and renewal from anxiety to the next level. “A book I will recommend to many for both practical advice and spiritual insights for handling stress, worry, and anxiety.”?Becca Anderson, author of Prayers for Calm
