Most people have no knowledge that life goes on after so-called death and are not aware of a previous life. This is because the greatest experiences can be achieved without prior knowledge of perpetual life. Everything occurs at the right time, and what a wonderful time, when one's being opens up into knowledge, belief and knowing. What joy! What a breakthrough for the life that lies ahead, the knowing that life is infinite allowing one to be transformed into a spiritual being, aware of the real mind, body and spirit. In this, his second book, Richard shares more teachings and guidance received from those wise souls in the world of spirit known as Joyful One. He gives insights into the spiritual journey taken with his wife, Joan, and describes many experiences on the way. The quest for truth has continued; their joint story continues. Life continues - all is One.

In Moroccan Female Religious Agents: Old Practices and New Perspectives, Ouguir studies Moroccan female religious agents in particular historical women saints and Sufis, the way they constructed powerful saintly personalities that challenged the dominant conventional norms, and the way they are received by venerators and feminist Islamist activists of modern Morocco. Through hagiographic and oral narratives, Ouguir examines the techniques religious women followed to achieve ethical self-formation and strong religious personalities that promoted them to leadership. She also examined the venerators', murshid t and Islamist feminists' reception of women saints in their discourses. Ouguir states convincingly that Moroccan religious women agents in both Morocco's past and present are to be highlighted for broader discourses on Muslim women and feminism.
