A Man’s Reach: The Autobiography of Glenn Clark
by Glenn ClarkClark was a man who, without being himself a recognized "New Thought" leader, has been highly influential in introducing "New Thought" ideas and techniques into the churches. Clark was deeply religious and something of a mystic, a great believer in prayer. He first came into prominence through an article in the "Atlantic Monthly" titled "The Soul's Sincere Desire." He began to be much in demand as a speaker in the churches and in summer camps. In 1930 he organized a summer camp of his own in Koronis, Minnesota to which he gave the name "Camp Farthest Out." Here for a period, amidst pleasant surroundings, a group of congenial and serious-minded people met for a season of fellowship, relaxation, and spiritual renewal, under the direction of Dr. Clark and others of somewhat similar views. In 1942 he resigned from his position at the College to give all his time to helping others discover this integration of body, mind and spirit in God. Through a series of experiences told in his autobiography, "A Man's Reach," he had been brought to an unusual interest in prayer, and it became his major concern and emphasis. It set him to reading especially the works of the mystics and about them and their approach to God. Among the books he read was "Life Understood" by Frank Rawson, a onetime Christian Scientist who had been expelled from the church, and went on to become an influential leader of "New Thought" in England. The thing that attracted Clark to Rawson, he says, was that "he believed one's prayers could be just as scientifically infallible as the laws of physics and chemistry.".-Print ed.

A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Aventuras Adicionais em Do Outro Lado da Vida
by Richard Martini"A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Novas Aventuras do Outro Lado da Vida". Minhas aparições públicas sempre trazem um pico às vendas dos livros, enquanto falo não apenas da minha jornada ao material, mas também dos relatos consistentes de que pessoas sob hipnose profunda e durante experiências de quase morte relatam sobre a vida após a morte. Eu fiz minhas próprias versões em áudio dos livros, assim como as publiquei, e recebo e-mails de todo o mundo de pessoas me agradecendo por ajudá-las no sofrimento. Portanto, esse gênero não é para todos, e recomendo considerar o material antes de fazer uma tradução. Tudo o que posso dizer é que é uma alteração da mente e, talvez, dê uma olhada em algumas das palestras do meu livro no YouTube sob MartiniProds, se você puder, para ter uma ideia de como essa pesquisa surgiu. Ele aborda várias áreas diferentes, da ciência (entrevistas com cientistas, neurocientistas) a transcrições reais de pessoas sob hipnose profunda, a entrevistas com pessoas que nunca foram hipnotizadas, não pensavam que poderiam ser, e ainda falam clara e conscientemente da perspectiva de estar do outro lado do véu, por assim dizer. Existem três livros e todos, mas "A Maravilhosa Vida após a Morte" volumes um e dois juntos, então há bastante material aqui. Uma tarefa assustadora para dizer o mínimo! Mas, ao final das contas, esse é o tipo de material que muda a vida de quem o lê e, talvez, de quem o traduz. Obrigado pela sua consideração.
A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Aventuras Adicionais em Do Outro Lado da Vida: Volume Dois
by Richard MartiniEste é o volume dois de "A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte". Ele também alcançou o primeiro lugar de vendas na Amazon.com (em todos os seus gêneros no Kindle) depois de minha aparição no programa de rádio "Coast to Coast" com George Noory em 12 de dezembro de 2014. Há uma versão kindle de todos os três livros ("Do Outro lado," "It's a Wonderful Afterlife ", volume um), bem como brochura e audível. O livro acaba de ser escolhido para publicação na Índia. Tive vários pedidos para traduzir este material na Europa. Devo alertar o tradutor, entretanto, pois este material não é para todos. É sobre a vida após a morte, é sobre a morte, e é sobre o que milhares dizem sobre a vida após a morte sob hipnose profunda. O que eles dizem é consistente, e nos dois primeiros livros incluo cientistas e transcrições de sessões reais de hipnose, onde as pessoas dizem as mesmas coisas sobre a jornada da alma de todos - não apenas pela vida, mas após a morte também, e então no processo de retorno novamente. Também incluo no volume 2 um capítulo polêmico em que um médium psíquico afirma entrevistar uma das figuras religiosas mais famosas da história - usei esta entrevista para examinar o que essa pessoa estava dizendo não apenas sobre a vida após a morte, mas também sobre sua própria jornada durante a vida deles, e como essa informação se encaixou com tudo o que todo mundo está dizendo sobre nossa jornada aqui. Mas pode ofender algumas pessoas - e eu apenas sugiro que se você conhece alguém familiarizado com termos científicos sobre física quântica, psicologia, mas também sobre espiritualidade - sobre pessoas budistas e, além disso, o que as pessoas dizem sobre consciência - este livro pode ou não ser algo que você gostaria de enfrentar. No entanto, aprendi algo realmente básico nesta minha jornada - afinal, sou jornalista e cineasta e já tive muitas experiências - é que as pessoas que deveriam encontrar esse material o encontrarão.
A Marriage of Equals: How to Achieve Balance in a Committed Relationship
by Catherine E. AponteNegotiating collaboratively in your committed relationship is a new way to achieve individual and marital goals, to resolve differences equitably, to manage conflicts, to create and sustain a satisfying sex life, to figure out where you stand on fidelity, to think about having and caring for kids, and to have committed careers and a satisfying family life. Negotiating collaboratively supports you and your partner seeing yourselves simultaneously as individuals and as a couple—enhances the sense of “being in this together” while also having individual life plans. Negotiating collaboratively supports valuing each other as individuals before seeing each other as husband and wife, and allows modern couples to challenge old gender trappings that can undermine the achievement of balance in a committed relationship. Straightforward and accessible, A Marriage of Equals offers couples a road map for how to negotiate collaboratively around the most essential aspects of a committed relationship—and, in doing so, create the equitable marriage they long for.

A Matter Of Dignity: Changing the Lives of the Disabled
by Andrew PotokI realized that I needed to learn about the legislative and legal aspects of disability as much as I did about our feelings regarding wholeness, beauty and ugliness, about the state called normalcy, about liberating technologies and therapies, about the role of the disabled in history and literature. And what could better inform and enlighten me than contact with people who help create access, who elicit change via care, support, teaching, and study as their life's work? As it turned out, I have learned from them that, in spite of the American addiction to youthfulness, "normalcy," virility, activity, and physical beauty, diversity in all its forms provides not only fascination but strength. Diversity tends toward higher forms, uniformity toward dullness and extinction. What could make more sense than to value all that is diverse, unexpected, and exuberantly impure?
