A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between
disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps
you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation
to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not
enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to
say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we
attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith
is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live.
We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next
experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal
we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for
Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to
introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas:
history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught
between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but
can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal
struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if
there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide?
What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and
loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place
of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us
that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the
presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an
involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for
Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only
promises that never disappoint.
Fueled by the dream to strike it rich, prospectors flocked to
California during the gold rush. Yet the harsh lifestyle and
backbreaking work led many to early graves. Join author Linda
Bottjer on a tour through Gold Country's most chilling--and
true--haunted tales. Tales such as the hangman of Placerville,
whose distinctive wheeze is a sign of his continued presence. Or
the Georgetown miner whose unrequited love for a much younger lady
of the night finds him still pining for her in death as he did in
life. And in Coloma, the ghost of James Marshall is said to dwell
on the lonely hilltop where his cabin and monument now stand. These
stories, and many others, capture the ghostly spirit of Gold
Country.
James Randi leaves a towering legacy as an internationally known
magician, escape artist, and devoted investigator of the
paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims that have captured the
thinking of the public for generations. From ESP and psychokinesis,
psychic detectives, levitation, psychic surgery, and even UFOs and
astrology, Randi dedicated his life to exposing frauds and
swindlers. Forty years after the original publication of his
landmark book, Flim-Flam! remains a classic, with insights that are
still relevant today – and perhaps even more so. In this timeless
and timely book, Randi famously explores and exposes outrageous
deceptions that plague our minds and media. Unafraid to call
researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi
tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have
failed to follow the procedures required by their training and
traditions. Mr. Randi provides readers with a compelling and
convincing document that will startle and enlighten all who
continue to seek out the truth.
The spirituality of a fey person may be quite anarchic and entirely
private, having no basis in any organised religion. So it can be a
secret spirituality that informs the fey type and this may be
largely experiential. It has often been perceived as a threat by
people who like ideas to be tied down and under control, and by the
organisations that such people have created. Meanwhile, in much of
today's world, fey people have been thoroughly marginalized. In
this book, Rae Beth suggests ways in which we might understand
Otherworldly realities without abandoning commonsense. Drawing upon
her knowledge of traditional faerie lore, she shows how fey
perceptions and psychic skills can serve and enhance life.

Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution.
Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed?
Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions.
With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.
The author offers advice on such matters as mastering emotions, overcoming debilitating habits such as over-eating, drinking and drug abuse, unleashing the hidden power of body and mind, improving personal and professional relationships, and taking control of personal finances.
