Yoga how-to books abound, a direct reflection of the rapidly expanding popularity of this ancient practice. Effort and Surrender does not show how to "do" yoga. Instead, it tells - through illustrations and quotations - how to "feel" what yoga is and what it means to experience mind and body movements as a life enhancer and as a way of life. This beautiful celebration of yoga's artistry and insight makes a one-of-a-kind gift book. Talented editor and photographer Eric Dinyer, a dedicated yoga practitioner himself, used his own experience and deep understanding to convey yoga's challenges and far-reaching possibilities. Eric's sepia-rich photographs of 37 classic asanas intertwined with vibrant and sweeping ink lines give the postures an energy of their own. Equally moving are the collection of historical and modern yoga quotes, such as this: "Yoga is a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who you are." - Erich Schiffmann. Effort and Surrender is a very rich experience indeed.
We live in challenging times - times that increasingly call upon the focus, intensity, and integrity of our armed forces. These are the men and women who selflessly protect what the rest of us hold most dear. A key to their success - as anyone from the newest recruit to the most battled-hardened veteran will attest - are the support and prayers of those at home. Support Our Troops represents both a timely and timeless collection of inspirational quotations that recognize the bravery, fortitude, and sacrifice of American troops the world over. These strong and supportive words honor our troops' commitment and thank them for their service on our behalf. The selections include quotes such as: "It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism." -J. Horace McFarland, and "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." -Thomas Paine. Support Our Troops delivers a special message of respect and support for service men and women and their families.

A riveting firsthand account of one man’s mission to investigate and document some of the most astonishing phenomena of our time—children who speak of past life memory and reincarnation. All across the globe, small children spontaneously speak of previous lives, beg to be taken “home,” pine for mothers and husbands and mistresses from another life, and know things that there seems to be no normal way for them to know. From the moment these children can talk, they speak of people and events from the past—not vague stories of centuries ago, but details of specific, identifiable individuals who may have died just months, weeks, or even hours before the birth of the child in question. ...
