A traumatic medical emergency and subsequent near-death experience combine to transform the life of author Peg Abernathy in "The Self-Full Life: A True Story That Will Help Your Soul Remember." These and other spiritually moving moments are weaved into a powerful personal odyssey of life, death, and rebirth.

."..I found myself alone, and I lay there as my body was being ravaged. I remember staring at the clock on the wall. 11:45 P.M., 11:46 P.M., 11:47 P.M. Where was everybody? "Help me " I whispered. All of a sudden, the thought of death passed through my body and I began to hear a low hum and then a soft roaring sound. I heard bells go off and I rolled over and grabbed the bars on the side of the hospital bed. My eyes were wide open but I could no longer see. All I could hear was the escalating roaring sound and distant voices. And I knew I was dying. I stopped fighting. I was going home."

The uniqueness of the United States of America sets it apart from any other country; people from all over the world come to our shores in pursuit of a way of life that is found nowhere else. Unfortunately, the once shinning light on a hill that America once was is growing dim. If the American people do not awaken from their slumber, take an active role in preserving what our founders and forefathers created and willed to us, that shining light willdisappear, never to shine again.

Meandering across the landscape of America is a metaphoric raging river that divides us unlike any time in our history. It is impossible to reside onboth sides of a river simultaneously and the time has come when we must choose one side of the other. If we take an uncomplicated, common senseapproach, we can easily discovery the reality of the state America is in today. There is only one bridge spanning the metaphoric river and for some, it is amystery. I invite you to journey with me to explore that mystery.

"Merlin's War: The Battle between the Family of Light and the Family of Dark" examines the fact that the history of the human race has been manipulated by a being so clever that we have had no idea he exists. In fact, he has hidden behind Lucifer-but Lucifer is not our devil. Much of what has been told to the human race has been designed to keep the truth at bay. Whose purpose did it serve to keep the human race unaware of its own origins and ignoring huge pieces of obvious evidence because there is no logical explanation for it? It certainly did not serve the human race.

Merlin is thought of by most humans as a simple embodiment of the wizard. "Merlin's War" reveals that he is much more; he is a powerful Creator God who is responsible for creating the human template and seeding life on the Earth. Moreover, Dracula is thought of as a fictional vampire, when he is, in fact, the being we call Satan, responsible for creating war and chaos on Earth and in other galaxies. There are two points of view to this story, and in order to be fair author Margaret Doner has agreed to tell both sides.

"Merlin's War "posits that it is time for the playing field to be evened out. The Family of Dark has been in control for too long; it's time for the Family of Light to move beyond the fear that has kept them enslaved.

The story of King Solomon has fascinated spiritual and religious writers for millennia - this book advances a theory that Solomon was infact a Magi who created many of the rituals, spells and symbols important to occultists. Although the idea that Solomon carried some sort of mystical powers is not new, this book purports to be written in the ancient king of the Jews' own hand. The magical symbols and diagrams which are situated alongside the various rituals and incantations are intricate, containing pentacles and other shapes. Towards the end of the book a large table is appended, detailing a selection of mystical alphabets and their English. For his investigation, Mathers delved deep into the archives of the British Museum, unearthing an old French manuscript of the text which he duly translated into English. He also replicated the diagrams and symbols; these efforts resulted in this modern English version of the old Solomon manuscripts, and an increase in interest toward writings hitherto obscure.
