In the Eye of the Beholder
Everything worthwhile in life comes at a cost. Wisdom must be earned. Love must be nurtured. Peace must be brokered. Many of these sacrifices are negotiations of the individual with the greater universe, and many, sadly, don't survive the journey or are broken by it. Bob Parson was one of them. Separation, divorce, and being isolated from his daughter filled his life with despair. But then everything changed. In the Eye of the Beholder is Bob Parson's autobiographical account of his journeys and life lessons learned from traversing the world during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, an era when being part of the Silent Generation came with unparalleled beauty and unexpected consequences. Through it all, he was a US soldier, an accomplished businessman, a loving father, and a grateful soul thankful for second chances. His colorful stories span several decades of domestic and international adventures defined by the sadness of war, the thrill of exotic travel, and the cost of personal enlightenment.

The "I" of the Beholder
In this book, the author describes the complexity of the Self as the source of all human behavior. She will try to outline the structure of the Self, its normal growth and development, and the role of interaction with other living things in this process. Ms. Roeper sees the Self as a unit within us, which includes input from the brain and all other functions of the body. This book explores how the inclusion of the concept of "soul" or "psyche" or "Self" can change the methods, priorities, and goals of society and parenting. This, in turn, could change how each child and ourselves are viewed and have an impact on our every action and reaction, whether in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the cla...
Eye of the Beholder
After the July 7th London suicide bombings in 2005 people wanted to know 'what was in the heads'of the four young terrorists. This short book is a family therapist's attempt to de-mystify the tragedy, starting with Yorkshire history then examining the unique combination of personal/psychological, domestic, social, cultural and religious factors in one apparently unremarkable northern suburb, all heavily [and skillfully] imprinted with Muslim 'humiliation by proxy.'The intention of the book is to inform, but hopefully also to bring a small measure of peace to Muslim families and their communities in Leeds after their shattering experience.
