The Authentic Person
In the not-too-distant past, man enjoyed a profound sense of identity, permanence and continuity; the poignancy of change had little effect on his life. Modern man, on the other hand, keenly experiences change and impermanence in his world. He is impaled on both horns of a dilemma. Conditioned by dualistic thought patterns, 20th-century man still thinks in terms of polarities: good and bad, love and hate. Because of this mental framework, he has difficulty holding polarities in creative tension. Harris suggests ways by which man can become oriented to deal with paradox and live with creative tension. And he sees this new world vision as a source of hope.

My Mother's Secret
Inspired by a true story, My Mother’s Secret is a captivating and ultimately uplifting tale intertwining the lives of two Jewish families in hiding from the Nazis, a fleeing German soldier, and the mother and daughter who save them all. Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people...until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland. Providing shelter to Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic—each party completely unknown to the others. For everyone to survive, Franciszka will have to outsmart her neighbors and the German commander. Told simply and succinctly from four different perspectives—all under one roof—My Mother’s Secret is a testament to the kindness, courage, and generosity of ordinary people who chose to be extraordinary.
