In 1969, the writer and her husband set off for what is intended to
be a short holiday in Ibiza and end up taking the so-called hippie
route to Katmandu in Nepal. It is the true account, written first
as a journal and then daily, by a woman who takes this journey
without preparation, planning or travel agent and before the
instant communication of mobiles, tablets and email. In this fresh
and engrossing account of a journey taken nearly 50 years ago from
Europe to Asia, Carol Carlton vividly describes a world which has
changed dramatically in the decades since; as she travels, an inner
journey emerges as the landscape, people and the journey itself
have their effect upon the writer. This book is a must-read for
readers who are interested in travel and also for those who see
life as an adventure, not only through what we do, but how we view
the world, who we are and who we become. What emerges from this
wonderfully described travel account is an approach to the unknown
in the widest sense through life's journey. While their wanderings
lead them into many kinds of hardships and dangers, it seems as if
their spirit of open-heartedness itself keeps them safe from the
unexpected risks that present themselves. At the same time, it
reveals how this spirit of innocent curiosity allows people from
many countries, religions and ways of life to reveal their
innermost convictions and feelings to her. Nowhere is this more
poignant than in Syria.

"The North Face of God" addresses those times of adversity when God
seems to have abandoned us. Sometimes, when the cold winds of life
blow and we cry out to God, he's silent, and we wonder if he still
cares about us--or ever cared. Drawing on the Psalms, Ken Gire
climbs the mountainous terrain of God's seeming indifference and
helps us learn how to hold on to hope, despite our circumstances.
He also calls us to become good "climbing partners" for other
people who need help and encouragement along the way.
This book comprises responses by a Sufi master, Hadrat Sahib of the
Naqshbandi tradition, to letters written by students of the master.
The questions posed in these letters cover a wide range of issues
including, financial problems, health issues, family matters,
education and bereavement. The advice given by the master reveals a
deep spirituality which places the particular student's problem in
context and details a specific method of offering oneself to God at
all times. It is difficult to find such detail relating to
spiritual practices in Sufi literature. These letters are
inspirational and timeless. They provide a cure to a world
dominated by materialism and all its attendant miseries.

This is an astrology book about the planets in the houses. Clear
descriptions explain the actions of ten planets in each of the

abilities that a person may take for granted but, with awareness
could develop further, are described for each planetary placement.
By understanding that challenges are learning opportunities a

how the spirit of a person is striving to attain its highest
aspirations. The book is straightforward and easy to follow. It can
be used like a textbook by student astrologers and may assist
experienced astrologers to consider a more spiritual way of looking
at horoscopes.
