In a practical and openhearted manner, she is able to contrast the vast difference between the Catholic doctrine, as it is compared with God's biblical truth, concerning the most important decision that you will ever be required to make. Read on, Dear Reader, and you also can learn the truth. As our Most Beloved Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8: 32)

Lao Tzu was the father of Taoism. In his "Tao Te Ching," Lao Tzu outlined the basic concept of Tao. Chuang Tzu and Lieh Tzu were Lao Tzu's most important followers who expounded and expanded the basic principles set forth by Lao Tzu. Together, the sayings of these three sages, which make up this volume, are the foundations for the philosophy of Tao.

The translations of the works of these ancient Chinese sages by Lionel Giles and Herbert Giles are very highly regarded and considered by many to be the definitive English translations. Lionel's translation of "The Sayings of Lao Tzu" (1905), taken from the "Tao Te Ching" and logically re-ordered, is remarkable for its clarity of expression, particularly given the complexity of the subject. Herbert's translation of "The Sayings of Chuang Tzu," presented here, with an introduction by Lionel, was originally published as "Musings of a Chinese Mystic" (1906). Lionel's translation of "The Sayings of Lieh Tzu" was originally published as "The Book of Lieh Tzu, or Teachings in Taoism" (1912).

Individually the works of these Chinese sages are classics. Together, they are a master resource of the history of Tao.

Great Hollywood Wit rollicks with hilarious movie lines and backstage zingers-smart, tart, and (in Sir John Gielgud's case) wicked: "Ingrid Bergman speaks five languages and can't act in any of them." Julia Roberts, fashion buff: "I only put clothes on so that I'm not naked when I go out shopping." Retiring Burt Reynolds: "You can only hold your stomach in for so many years."

Great Hollywood Wit is an unequaled cavalcade of hilarity that you'll laugh through again and again. A wonderful one-of-a-kind gift.

The musically voiced bells sound the hour from the great church, rich in beauty and tradition, and we walk across the market-place, this side the castle hill--the hill which held for six hundred years the precious jewelled crucifix, with the splinter of the "True Cross" in its secret recess, a careless English queen once lost from her neck--towards our quiet inn, a real museum of interesting things fittingly housed, for supper of Suffolk ham and country ale, and then to bed, before the long walk of the morrow.

1914. A compilation of quotations by such noted authors as Goethe, Shakespeare, Shelley and others on the subject of self purification.

John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Sometime today while you're busy following your plan, something may happen that puts you in a funk or motivates you to make a change. Something that could leave you "stuck in a moment."
But, Marie Curie contended, "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." When those moments sneak up on you, you can run to counseling, look yourself in the mirror, crawl over to your favorite self-pity corner or you can open "Stuck in a Moment" and find wisdom to help you understand and, possibly, turn your mood around.
Precise in nature, "Stuck..." takes you straight to the heart of life's customary stumbling blocks: your relationships, your job life, your frame of mind and your desire to have the life you dream of.
