THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER ON A TRUE CASE OF PAST-LIFE TRAUMA AND
PAST-LIFE THERAPY FROM AUTHOR AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST DR BRIAN WEISS
Psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss had been working with Catherine, a
young patient, for eighteen months. Catherine was suffering from
recurring nightmares and chronic anxiety attacks. When his
traditional methods of therapy failed, Dr Weiss turned to hypnosis
and was astonished and sceptical when Catherine began recalling
past-life traumas which seemed to hold the key to her problems. Dr
Weiss's scepticism was eroded when Catherine began to channel
messages from 'the space between lives', which contained remarkable
revelations about his own life. Acting as a channel for information
from highly evolved spirit entities called the Masters, Catherine
revealed many secrets of life and death. This fascinating case
dramatically altered the lives of Catherine and Dr Weiss, and
provides important information on the mysteries of the mind, the
continuation of life after death and the influence of our past-life
experiences on our present behaviour.
Everyone can learn new or more effective coping skills and
strategies to deal with times of loss, crisis, and disability.
Being aware of possible options or of how others fare in coping
with difficult situations is better than groping in the dark. It is
hoped that the real life experiences and coping skills presented
here will help others in dealing with similar issues and
challenges.
"Whispers From My Heart" is the tale of one woman's journey through
the real world where pain, confusion, disappointments, and despair
are real, every day occurrences. It voices the anguish the human
heart endures in a person termed "Adult Survivor of Childhood
Sexual Assault." It echoes the same question on the hearts of
everyday people, "Why?," and points to the One with the answer. It
is not a self-help book; it is a "God-can-help-you" book that
teaches the powerful truth that God is still in the business of
delivering His people from bondage, and leading them out of realms
of captivity, into their promised land. Cheryl Thompson has been a
single mother to Trey, Charlie and Brett since October of 1989.
Through the trials of her childhood, and the struggles of single
parenthood, Cheryl has learned first hand the importance of a heart
attitude toward life and God, and how that attitude impacts a
person's soul and relationship with God. She has a passion for the
hurting and wounded Bride of Christ. Through her personal knowledge
of the compassion of Jesus Christ, Cheryl relays the message of
hope, healing and freedom to those who have endured sexual assault.
She is a 1983 graduate of Christ For the Nations Institute of
Dallas, TX, and currently manages a small real estate company in
Southern Illinois. Cheryl is a freelance writer who has been
published in the quarterly FaithWriters book, FaithWriters online
magazine, and several local newspapers. She was a contributing
writer for the Christ For the Nations "60 Years of Service"
coffeetable book. She and her family reside in Southern Illinois.

today. Many unanswered questions can leave patients feeling afraid
and alone. Available information is often vague or technical.

puzzling disorders. What are these patients thinking? Why do they
act the way they do? How can we help them? Through the personal
stories of therapist Sarah Kennedy and her patient Keith Conrad,
these questions and many others are honestly and clearly
addressed.

Conrad clarify and explain puzzling behavior. They do this by
sharing personal experience and stories that are often painful,
sometimes humorous, but always helpful.

share valuable information to help others understand bipolar
disorder, Tourette syndrome and mood disorders and to cope with the
associated symptoms.

This book, which emerged from conversation at the Institute of
Conflict Research in Vienna, contains twelve carefully researched
and well-written essays on the timely topic of the problem of
prejudice. The contributors were chosen for their scholarly
expertise in their particular fields. Taken together they provide
an interdisciplinary approach, each casting light from a different
angle on the problem of prejudice. The book is divided into two
parts. Part one explores six particular manifestations of
prejudice: anti-semitism; sexism and heterosexism; prejudice
against the sick, old, and handicapped; religious prejudice;
racism; and social class prejudice. Part Two further illuminates
these prejudices by focusing upon them through six theoretical
lenses: history and art history; social functionalism; social
psychology; bioscience; law; and contemporary language behavior.
The final thirteenth chapter summarizes the book's findings. This
book has been introduced by essays setting this work in context and
carefully defining the meaning of the word "prejudice." This
handbook presents a valuable set of insights, explanations, and
theories, which can be used to develop a set of "best practices."
Academic by nature, this handbook will enable those who are
interested in an educational agenda to find the necessary
analytical tools. This book will be an essential addition for all
collections in sociology and especially for scholars interested in
anti-Semitism, sexism, heterosexism, disability studies, geriatrics
studies; religious studies, history, art history, psychology,
bioscience, law, and contemporary language behavior.
