Light Atonement
by AriyanaLight Atonement takes readers on a spiritual journey, one that is as enlightening as it is unusual. Ariyana, the narrator of this journey, describes her transition from life as a wife, mother and successful entrepreneur to a spiritual traveler who develops the capacity to move through alternative universes, to communicate with angels and to heal the sick. More than anything else, she emerges from this journey with knowledge that can provide comfort and guidance for all readers--knowledge that she shares eloquently and movingly. This is a book about an awakening of extraordinary spiritual powers and presences. Ariyana, the author, tells her story chronologically, and initially she seems to be like many other young women trying to find her way in the world. She moves from Japan to the U. S. for college, falls in love, marries, starts a business with her husband and has children. Yet always, she yearns for something more. Ariyana’s willingness to try a range of techniques and eagerness to learn opens her up to the possibility of a world beyond the visible one. A turning point comes in 2010, when she meets a California psychic named Kyle who possesses talents far beyond those of other psychics. It is Kyle who tells her that she was "put on this earth to do something big”-a message that stuns her but awakens in her the sense of a larger life purpose. Ariyana reveals this purpose toward the end of the book. She comes to understand that she has been chosen to bring a message of hope and salvation to mankind. These and other revelations emerge organically from Ariyana’s journey-a journey that is akin to a ride on a spiritual rollercoaster, and Ariyana must go through a grueling gauntlet of physical maladies and emotional challenges as she seeks her true calling. Working with a number of new healers, teachers and channelers, Ariyana moves into deeper spiritual realms and develops the ability to channel different light languages. With Kyle as her translator, she begins to receive messages that can only be coming from dimensions beyond the earth. She also discovers that she possesses healing talents, and is able to use her crystals to help a number of people recover from serious medical problems. And then Ariyana meets her angels-who these angels are and the role they will play in Ariyana’s life unfolds over the last third of the book. She learns to summon and learn from them. During this time, she begins to "program crystals” for other people to help them reach their highest potential. All this effort, though, begins to take its toll on Ariyana, and she finds herself falling ill and feeling drained. Ariyana perseveres, but there are distractions-the entrepreneurial business with which she has become re-involved, her children, her ex-husband and boyfriend. And then almost magically, things become clearer. She has an epiphany of what her purpose is and how to achieve it. And she discovers a shocking truth about her "real” family that helps her make startling sense of many of the messages she’s received from her angels and through her channeling.

A Light Beyond the Trenches: A Fascinating Historical Novel of WW1
by Alan HladFrom the USA Today bestselling author of Churchill&’s Secret Messenger comes a WWI novel based on little-known history, as four very different lives intertwine across Europe from Germany to France—a German Red Cross nurse, a Jewish pianist blinded on the battlefield, a soldier tortured by deadly secrets of his own, and his tormented French mistress. This life-affirming tale of heroism and resilience will stay with you long after turning the final page. By April 1916, the fervor that accompanied war&’s outbreak has faded. In its place is a grim reality. Throughout Germany, essentials are rationed. Hope, too, is in short supply. Anna Zeller, whose fiancé, Bruno, is fighting on the western front, works as a nurse at an overcrowded hospital in Oldenburg, trying to comfort men broken in body and spirit. But during a visit from Dr. Stalling, the director of the Red Cross Ambulance Dogs Association, she witnesses a rare spark of optimism: as a German shepherd guides a battle-blinded soldier over a garden path, Dr. Stalling is inspired with an idea—to train dogs as companions for sightless veterans. Anna convinces Dr. Stalling to let her work at his new guide dog training school. Some of the dogs that arrive are themselves veterans of war, including Nia, a German shepherd with trench-damaged paws. Anna brings the ailing Nia home and secretly tends and trains her, convinced she may yet be the perfect guide for the right soldier. In Max Benesch, a Jewish soldier blinded by chlorine gas at the front, Nia finds her person. War has taken Max&’s sight, his fiancée, and his hopes of being a composer. Yet despite all he&’s given for his country, the tide of anti-Semitism at home is rising, and Max encounters it first-hand in one of the school&’s trainers, who is determined to make Max fail. Still, through Anna&’s prompting, he rediscovers his passion for music. But as Anna discovers more about the conflict&’s escalating brutality—and Bruno&’s role in it—she realizes how impossible it will be for any of them to escape the war unscathed . . .
Light Comes Through: Buddhist Teachings on Awakening to Our Natural Intelligence
by Dzigar KongtrulBuddhahood, says Dzigar Kongtrül, is nothing but an unobstructed experience of the nature of mind, boundlessly spacious and limitlessly compassionate. The trick is that in order to see the mind accurately, we must use the particular aspect of mind he calls natural intelligence. Natural intelligence enables us to discriminate between what helps or hinders us. But most of all, it's the part of us that searches for happiness and meaning. In Light Comes Through, he shows us how to skillfully use our wish for happiness as a tool in awakening to the joyous wisdom of mind.

Light in the Darkness: Black Holes, the Universe, and Us
by Heino Falcke Jörg RömerThe International BestsellerOn April 10, 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conference—a turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falcke’s goal in making a black hole “visible” for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers. Light in the Darkness takes us on Falcke’s extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility, Light in the Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.

Light in the Heavens: Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (Library of Arabic Literature #40)
by al-Qadi al-Quda'iHumanitarian lessons and practical insights from the prophet of Islam <p><p>The words of Muhammad, messenger of God and prophet of Islam, have a special place in the hearts of his followers. Wielding an authority second only to the Qur'an, they are cited by scholars in a vast array of disciplines—including law, theology, metaphysics, poetry, grammar, history, and medicine—and are quoted by Muslims to one another in their daily lives. Light in the Heavens by al-Qadi al-Quda'i, a Sunni judge in the Fatimid court in Egypt, is an outstanding example of a compilation of these sayings, known as hadiths, that circulated orally and were later assembled and written down. From North Africa to India, generations have used Light in the Heavens as a teaching text for children as well as adults, and many of its 1,200 sayings are familiar to individuals of diverse denominations and ethnicities. For Muslims—who consider Muhammad’s teachings the fount of wisdom and the beacon of guidance in all things, mundane and sublime—these sayings provide a direct window into the inspired vision of one of the most influential humans to have walked the Earth.
