EXPECT MIRACLES has a fascinating genesis. Editor Mary Ellen placed anecdotes about the miraculous events in her life into an e-mail letter to her friends; it was sent out by them, added to by others, became referred to as a newsletter edited by Angelscribe (as she's known on the Internet - see www.angelscribe.com), and finally is here for us as a lovely little book. To restore, fortify and inspire us, Expect Miracles, subtitled Inspiring Stories of the Miraculous in Everyday Life, draws on folks like you and me who recount wondrous experiences they have been involved in. Note: Mary Ellen offers us an opportunity to write to her about our own experiences with the miraculous and become part of her next volume. (180 pages, $11.95, Conari.)

(Click on the above image to order book) Duck Soup for |
Just in case you missed the information that follows Swami Beyondananda's immensely popular end-of-the-magazine column, his book DUCK SOUP FOR THE SOUL is more fun than a barrel of -- ducks? The punster Swami (Steve Bhaerman) created it - and true to form, its pages will lift your spirits and make you silly when your upside is down. So much love and wisdom is tucked into these goofy, occasionally wry pages of light and laughter that reading it once tempts you to pick up the book and read it again. As the Swami says, "When we shine the light of laughter on our sacred cows, we automatically expose the bull." Huzzah the Swami! Autographed copies are available for $10 plus $3 shipping. Or, order Swami's three audio tapes ($33 plus $3 shipping) and get Duck Soup free. To order by mail and get a catalogue of Swami's products, write to Lite Headed Productions, 400 W. Third St., Suite D-144, Santa Rosa, CA 95401. To place a credit card order, call Swami's special product ordering line at 1-800-SWAMI-BE or visit Swami's website at beyondananda.com. Or, ask for it at bookstores.

Your Book of Life |
First to arrive in the bookstores, including those that specialize in new age subjects, is YOUR BOOK OF LIFE by James Michael Roche Ewart. Conversations with his late father in the months preceding his death initiated its creation. In the preface, Jim declares that his is a book of prose presented in a unique style to provide clarity and emphasis. The format looks like poetry - and as the poets among us will agree, this is a form in which the writer can place emphasis wherever he or she wants it. A poet in his own right, Jim has put into inspired words universal spiritual truths of life, love and loving. An Ahhhh of pleasure for his easily read poetry and the ideas it so engagingly expresses. (69 pages, $10 plus $2 for shipping/handling, Circle Press, P.O.Box 135, Itasca, IL 60143.)

(Click on the above image to order book) Golden Light |
If you've ever wondered about the answers to Who am I? Why am I here?, GOLDEN LIGHT relates what author Lynn Gatwood discovered - the hard way! Lynn's past was packaged neatly, hidden safely where no one . . . including herself . . . could reach it. As fibers of that past emerged, the web they wove of anger and hate made it clear that her secrets were affecting her health. Lynn's courageous adventures in rescuing herself from that past - therapy, meditation and finding a spiritual path that made sense to her - were only a beginning. In search of a final answer, she treks to the Himalayas, then farther northwest to the China/Pakistan/India border to penetrate the mystical secrets these regions hold. Her search climaxes back in the United States when as a newly-moved stranger, she suffers massive heart attacks and becomes a participant in Near Death Experience. Not once but twice she crosses over to the Other Side. The first time, Lynn finds herself surrounded on the Astral level by departed friends, relatives and deities. Once again, this is only a beginning. The second Experience takes her into the realm of the archangels. Returning, she memorializes the event with an incredible poem. Lynn finds that life takes on a whole new meaning when the soul's journey adjourns into the Golden Light. There's a selection of ordering possibilities for Golden Light. It is available now at Styx & Stones, 1758 W. Algonquin Rd., Hoffman Estates (800-608-3444) where Lynn is scheduled to speak on the 24th of August. It will be on the shelves at Borders by the 18th.
