The Secret of Fatima
by Peter J TanousFather Kevin Thrall is chaplain to a poor, inner-city parochial school in Washington, D.C. where he leads a quiet and rewarding life. But he is also troubled by his past in combat with an elite military unit. Even after taking his vows, he is as ready to clasp his hands around the grip of a Glock as in prayer. He sometimes wonders who he really is. To the Vatican, however, Father Thrall is uniquely suited for a dangerous mission—one directly tied to the mystery of a 100-year old prophecy.<P><P> One hundred years ago, the Blessed Virgin revealed a mysterious prophecy to three Portuguese shepherd children. The three Secrets of Fatima were closely held by the Vatican for decades, until the text of the third and last secret was finally released in 2000. But many believe that the Vatican withheld important parts of the Third Secret, perhaps because its contents were too dangerous to reveal...<P> The Secret of Fatima’s knife-edge plot unfolds as both a modern-day spy thriller and a spiritual quest, as Father Thrall faces implacable enemies both within and outside of the Church who will test both his unique abilities and his faith. If he fails, the very foundations of the world will be shaken.
The Secret of Fátima
by Peter J Tanous&“Masterly! This is the page turner par excellence . . . Nobody but Peter Tanous would have imagined to cross James Bond with a Catholic priest.&” —Nassim Nicholas Taleb, New York Times–bestselling author In a run-down neighborhood of Washington, DC, Father Kevin Thrall works tirelessly to help the inner-city kids he teaches and coaches on the basketball team. But he can&’t hide from his haunting military past, because it put him on the Vatican&’s most wanted list. His stint as an army ranger—including a court-martial—makes him uniquely qualified to combat an imminent crisis that threatens the very core of the Catholic Church . . . Opus Mundi is a fanatical group of Catholics known for its deadly rituals and catastrophic worldview. Members believe that the church is being led by a false prophet, whose reign will bring on a major calamity—a world war or the apocalypse. Now their final plan has been put into action. To avert it, Father Thrall must solve a mystery linked to the mystical appearance of the Virgin Mary to a group of children in Fátima, Portugal in 1917. If he fails, the result could lead to the annihilation of the Catholic Church. Opus Mundi must be stopped by any means necessary. And Father Kevin Thrall—a priest who has proven he can rough it up with the best of them—is the Vatican&’s perfect weapon . . . &“A rollicking, heart-pounding chase full of twists, turns, and a startling revelation. Like all great thrillers it leaves you wondering . . . could this be real?&” —William Peter Blatty, New York Times–bestselling author of The Exorcist &“Readers will relish the eventfulness of Tanous&’ series opener—there is never a moment&’s rest for the plot, which charges ahead indefatigably. The propulsive tale also offers some intriguing details about the spiritual conflicts . . . action-packed.&” —Kirkus Reviews

The Secret of Happiness: The Secret Of Happiness
by Billy GrahamHappiness. It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why? Because, says Billy Graham in this classic work, we are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. We haven't learned the secret Jesus taught in the Beatitudes - that true, lasting happiness simply isn't to be found by seeking it directly. Happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. And the things that will bring us the satisfaction we long for are not necessarily what the world considers meaningful.Jesus did not have to have an outward stimulus to make Him happy, Billy Graham points out. "He had learned a secret that allowed Him to live above the circumstances of life and fear of the future. He moved with calmness, certainty, and serenity through the most trying circumstances - even death! What was His secret? He gave it to us in the Beautitudes."Presented with Billy Graham's characteristic vigor and simplicity in this landmark book, it is a secret that can transform your life.

The Secret of Life: Cosmic Rays And Radiations Of Living Beings
by Georges LakhovskyThe Secret of Life: Cosmic Rays and Radiations of Living Beings by Georges Lakhovsky is a groundbreaking exploration of the profound connections between cosmic energies and the vitality of all living organisms. Originally published in the early 20th century, this innovative work presents Lakhovsky’s revolutionary theories on the role of cosmic rays and electromagnetic radiations in maintaining health, influencing cellular function, and even determining the very essence of life itself.Lakhovsky, a distinguished inventor and biophysicist, proposes that life is sustained by a delicate balance of oscillating energies, which are constantly influenced by cosmic and terrestrial radiations. He introduces the concept of the "cellular oscillation," suggesting that cells function like tiny radio receivers, capable of absorbing and emitting electromagnetic waves. According to Lakhovsky, the health and vitality of an organism depend on the harmonious interaction of these oscillations with the cosmic rays that pervade the universe.In The Secret of Life, Lakhovsky explores how disturbances in these natural oscillations can lead to disease, and how restoring the balance of these energies can promote healing and longevity. He discusses his experiments with living beings, including plants and humans, using specially designed oscillatory circuits that he believed could enhance the natural radiations of cells, thereby strengthening the body’s resistance to disease and decay.Lakhovsky’s work is both visionary and controversial, challenging conventional scientific and medical paradigms with its bold claims and innovative approaches. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the fields of alternative medicine, bioenergetics, and the science of life. The Secret of Life offers a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities of a universe where cosmic energies and the radiations of living beings are intricately connected, shaping the mysteries of health, vitality, and existence.Georges Lakhovsky’s pioneering ideas continue to inspire curiosity and debate, making this book a timeless contribution to the understanding of life’s deeper secrets.

The Secret of the Golden Flower: The Classic Chinese Book of Life
by Thomas ClearyIn Taoist terms, the first goal of the Way is to restore the original God-given spirit and become a self-realized human being. In Buddhist terms, a realized human being is someone conscious of the original mind, or the real self, as it is in its spontaneous natural state, independent of environmental conditioning. This original spirit is also called the celestial mind, or the natural mind. A mode of awareness subtler and more direct than thought or imagination, it is central to the blossoming of the mind. The Secret of the Golden Flower is devoted to the recovery and refinement of the original spirit.
