TRAVELS IN PLACE:
A Journey Into Memory Loss
TRAVELS IN PLACE: A Journey Into Memory Loss

A Poignant Read for Caregivers and Health Professionals Caring for the Elderly
This book will make you laugh out loud one minute and cry another.
  Travels in Place by Christiane W. Griffin-Wehr is the tender memoir of a daughter’s reflections as she loses her beloved mother to dementia. The work promotes the radical notion that some things in life are not ours to fix–which does not mean that we either run from them or stand helpless amid decline and suffering. Faced with the often heartbreaking, sometimes humorous situations of patients suffering severe memory loss and dementia, the author urges us to leave fruitless efforts to go farther and do more and instead to trust ourselves to be more.
    Through her story, the author leads us to understand that as caregivers to patients with Alzheimer’s-like diseases, we may not be able to cure the symptoms, restore past or future, or even always make the present bearable. But we can learn to go deeper into ourselves, explore the evolving relationship more thoroughly where we are, and openly embrace its moments with honesty and love. Thus will the reader find the power to transform even these difficult travels into a life-giving journey.

What Goes On Beyond the Pearly Gates? Communication with Angelic Healers

What Goes On Beyond the Pearly Gates? Communication with Angelic Healers 
Author Miriam Bostwick, a trance medium, collected stories from some 90 spirit healers, telling about how various afflictions, abnormalities, and mental disorders they experienced during their most recent life times served as “tools” to work out their karma. Upon transition to the Other Side, they did not find the humdrum heaven or horrific hell of orthodox religion, but rather found themselves reviewing their earthly lives and making attitudinal changes in order to progress spiritually. They now work to help others resolve any memory of physical pain, emotional scars, unfinished business, or “garbage” they may have carried over to spirit. These angelic healers have given us the missing links to truly understand and treat physical, emotional, and mental health problems, making this book invaluable for both the truth seeker and those working in the ministry, medical, and mental health fields.

TWO GUYS READ MOBY-DICK

by Stephen Chandler and Terrence N. Hill

Musings on Melville’s Whale and Other Strange Topics

In 1960, two high school friends were assigned to read, as part of their English class, the Herman Melville novel Moby-Dick. Neither one of them read it. Four decades later, plagued by feelings of guilt at never having read "The Great American Novel," the two friends grab for belated gusto. They vow to go in search again of the big fish and this time actually read Moby-Dick rather than just passing the test on it. Over the six months of their reading odyssey, the authors wrote a series of letters and e-mails chronicling their experience and encouraging each other's progress. This body of correspondence is now a book. Actually, the reading of Moby-Dick is just a platform. And while it is the primary substance of the book, the writers do not worry themselves much about staying within subject matter boundaries.  TWO GUYS READ MOBY-DICK will have you laughing from start to finish, and pondering life’s many mysteries, of course!

Two Guys Read The Obituaries
Two Guys Read The Obituaries

Two Guys Read the Obituaries
This is the book that tells us why piano players outlive drummers; who the last living flying monkey from the film “The Wizard of Oz” was; and reveals where we go after we die. It also may just be the funniest book ever written about death.

Each of the two authors, Steve Chandler and Terrence Hill, combed the obituary pages every day for a calendar year. They wrote about the Reaper's usual harvest—the famous, the infamous, and the fascinating. As in Two Guys Read Moby-Dick, their first joint project, they refused to be corralled by format and wound up writing about . . . well, basically whatever their minds bumped into. The collision is always interesting and often irreverent.

These two professional writers, who have been friends since childhood, took up the challenge to be the first two people ever to read Moby-Dick from cover to cover. The result was the critically-acclaimed, popular book: Two Guys Read Moby-Dick. Now comes the sequel—the alarmingly funny and profound: Two Guys Read the Obituaries.
