Beloved eBook by Witzsche, Rolf, A. F.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 54:11:05 GMT

To whom does the salutation "beloved" apply? It applies to all mankind universally! This book of research takes us a hundred years back in time to a New England woman, named Mary Baker Eddy, the renowned discoverer and founder of Christian Science. She created in the late 1800th a vast pedagogical structure, designed for scientific and spiritual development. The structure comprises 144 concepts. She also created a structure of seven concepts to define God, but three of these are not included in the 144, as if she intended the development flow of the entire structure to converge on those three concepts, which are Love, Truth, and Soul. One word comes to mind that summarizes all three, the word that the Apostle John frequently used as a salutation: "beloved." The research book presented here is an excerpt from the major research work, Universal Divine Science - Spiritual Pedagogical, by Rolf A. F. Witzsche. The the part of this large work that focuses on the aspects of the "beloved" are presented separately here for its relevance in our modern world where the universal concept of the "beloved" is fast disappearing from view.

Cinderella retold

In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.

The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King's Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash's capacity for love-and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.

Entrancing, empowering, and romantic, Ash is about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

Bad Boy eBook by Myers, Walter Dean

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 54:11:05 GMT

In his own words...

As a boy, Walter Dean Myers was quick-tempered and physically strong, always ready for a fight. He also read voraciously-he would check out books from the library and carry them home, hidden in brown paper bags in order to avoid other boys' teasing. He aspired to be a writer. But growing up in a poor family in Harlem, his hope for a successful future diminished as he came to realize fully the class and racial struggles that surrounded him. He began to doubt himself and the values that he had always relied on, attending high school less and less, turning to the streets and his books for comfort.

In a memoir that is gripping, funny, and ultimately unforgettable, Walter Dean Myers travels back to his roots in the magical world of Harlem during the 1940s and 1950s. Here is the story of one of the strongest voices in young people's literature today.
