Book Description
Ingo Swann once said, "The Way to keep people stupid, even if you make them literate, is to focus on the negative, what is wrong, what is wrong with us, than you spend you whole life wondering what is wrong with us. Well, what about what is good with us. I think what is good with us deserves an equal amount of attention." Ingo viewed life force energy as much more than just a basic vital force; he perceived it as an ever-evolving, sentient energy field that holds immense amounts of knowledge. In his eyes, this energy links all living creatures and can be tapped into and deciphered by our innate perceptional awareness system. Thus amidst editor Elly Flippen's own journey of self-discovery for her book Conjunction.World, she came to deeply comprehend the vital significance of awareness and perception. Seeking further understanding, she turned to her uncle Ingo Swann's thought-provoking collection of essays in his Superpowers of the Human Biomind database. Once in, she found a tangled web of ideas and concepts to unravel. As she poured over them, she found herself editing and reworking sections that pertained directly to her personal enlightenment. And in doing so, she had a sudden realization - why not compile her own selection of these profound musings? And thus, this collection was born. She hopes it serves as a launching pad for the testament to our limitless potential as human beings.

Book Description
Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions: Why are we here on earth? Is there really a Supreme Being who created the universe? When we die, do we rot in a grave or is there a heaven? If there is a heaven, how can we communicate with loved ones who've already crossed over? Are we the only life created by God or are there others like us? Have you ever wondered how the supernatural perceptions of psychics, mediums, and channels relate to God? Expect some surprises when reading Is There More To Life Than What We Know? Remember to keep an open mind - you might find yourself getting answers to some of those "what if" questions, although not necessarily the answers you were expecting. For all us who have ever looked into the night sky and wondered if there is more to life than what we know – this book is a must-read!

Book Description
Following Rabbi Jesus is a surprising exposure of who the Jesus we find in the Gospels really is, what he teaches those who dare to follow him, and how he models what it means to live God's radical-kingdom way. The reader of the book will discover in this exploration a very different Jesus from the celebrity or hero of much popular church culture, the tame, ineffective Jesus of compromised Christianity, and the inaccessible, conceptual Christ of much academic theology. The reader who takes the chance of honestly engaging the Jesus we meet in the Gospel stories may find an engaging and liberating contrast to the life he is now living. He may even want to make a turn or two, and start over.

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Book Description
The debut novel from the bestselling author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight and Leaving Before the Rains Come. “Awe inspiring . . . An ardent, original, and beautifully wrought book.” —The New York Times Book Review Lakota Oglala Sioux Nation, South Dakota. Two Native American cousins, Rick Overlooking Horse and You Choose Watson, are pitted against each other as their tribe is torn apart by infighting. Rick chooses the path of peace and stays; You Choose, violent and unpredictable, strikes out on his own. When he returns, after three decades behind bars, he disrupts the fragile peace and threatens the lives of the entire reservation. A complex tale that spans generations and geography, Quiet Until the Thaw conjures, with the implications of an oppressed history, how we are bound not just to immediate family but to all who have come before and will come after us, and, most of all, to the notion that everything was always, and is always, connected.
