Demonic possession. Exorcism. Haunted Houses. Satanic Rituals. For most people this is the stuff of nightmares, horror movies, folklore, and superstition. For New York City police Sergeant Ralph Sarchie, it's as real--and dangerous--as midnight patrol . . . A sixteen-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But it is his other job that he calls "the Work": investigating cases of demonic possession and assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient--and most dangerous--foes. Now he discloses for the first time his investigations into incredible true crimes and inhuman evil that were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcism, and an eyewitness to the reality of demonic possession, Ralph Sarchie has documented a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives a new shape to the shadows in the dark.
In "Deliver Us from Evil," he takes readers into the very hierarchy of a hell on earth to expose the grisly rituals of a Palo Mayombe priest; a young girl whose innocence is violated by an incubus; a home invaded by the malevolent spirit of a supposedly murdered nineteenth-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were literally, the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's revelations are a powerful and disturbing documented link between the true-crime realities of life and the blood-chilling ice-grip of a supernatural terror.

This is a story of tragedy, love, heartbreak, hope, humor, forgiveness, and the pure power of human compassion. An old man has been living on his own for many years. Although not considered a recluse or hermit, he does spend much time alone. He is guilt-ridden and has many regrets which he thinks about in his isolation. Mainly, it's the guilt of leaving his children on that day, those many years past. His guilt haunts him in the form of dreams and nightmares. The old man is a father whose heart aches with the love for his children, yet he finds it difficult to locate the level ground on which to have a relationship, as well as a level piece of ground to deal with the choices that he has made in his life. A bird of faith, not believed to exist, befriends him and stands by him, even to protect him from a near-death tragedy, and has the ability to locate him, no matter where he is. Although once a solid blackbird, it slowly changes to white as the man sheds his guilt. He develops a passion to make sketches of the bird, and this becomes a source that creates the problem. Due to certain circumstances, he ends up in a hospital mental ward. A continuous barrage of technicalities and other circumstances make it difficult for him to attain his freedom. He captures the love of a middle-aged, not-so pretty, recovering drug addict who along with her illiteracy had a speech impediment. A dedicated doctor finds he is not too old to learn a lesson about life from his patient. And two compassionate ward nurses befriend him and help him make life-changing decisions. His impact on them is no less life-changing. Hopefully, the man who dared to dream will capture your heart, as well.

It was the summer of 1991 and the weather was hot and still. Bernard and I sat in the shade of the back of our weekend home making small talk. We were at the height of our careers, prominent designers in the Canadian Fashion Industry, enjoying a fabulous lifestyle-dinners out every night, the finest wines, expensive watches, jewellery, and cars-everything one expects of a life of success. We were young, attractive and madly in love with each other. I made a move to go feed our dogs... Bernard went upstairs to shower... and died instead. It was the day that altered both of our lives forever. Written with the strong emotions of true love, this story takes you on a thoughtful, spiritual journey of love between two souls and a deep overall love of God. It is a story of life, absolute love, and immeasurable grief. If you had never known Shelley Wickabrod and Bernard McGee as a couple, nor felt the love between these two souls, this story makes you feel like you have known them all of your life... or possibly for many lives. -Katherine Goodes, Editor, MyEditor.ca This is a story of uncompromising and unconditional love... Shelley Wickabrod writes a compelling story that will touch us all. It reads like a movie. -Kirsten Scollie, Producer, Noumena Productions Inc.

What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's thatthe million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive.

Suppose you could communicate with a visitor who was not from this place, time-space or even this dimension? What would you want to ask them? The answers probably lie in what our own response would be if we were them. This book is based on a collection of interviews I have had with a few individuals who may have actually had such an experience. The idea is that if enough of us are ready to ask the questions and gain the answers, then our collective knowledge and understanding of the “ multiverse” about us can only continue to be enhanced. Sometimes the responses that you will read here are similar; often they are diametrically opposed to each other. An open but highly skeptical mind is extremely necessary if you are going to sift through the data that is presented in this book. The intent is that it should peak your curiosity to learn more about “ visitors.” In this way, we may be better informed and prepared, and thus in some sort of coherent shape to deal with their arrival. If you read this book, you must be well prepared to choose for yourself what you will or will not believe.

The Uncensored Word - GOD'S GIFT is about my exposure to the supernatural world. A world I have been some what silent about for most of my life. I have never felt truly comfortable in talking about my exposure. Always striving to maintain my composure in hopes of learning more from each event. I'm telling my story now because I realize I was given a gift. To explain my gift, I must now expose my supernatural experiences. GOD's GIFT is the first of three books. D. J. Bahr

Happiness is not about new cars and bigger houses, it's about contentment. Peace and satisfaction evolve out of contentment and laughter is the legitimate child of contentment. If I put a microphone in your face could you tell me without pause what makes you happy? Most people can't Why? Because it's not our focus We focus on what makes us unhappy How long has it been since you had a happy thought? Research shows that small children laugh 300 or more times a day while an adult laughs only 20 at most. What happened to our laughter?

Why Laugh? Humor is infectious and laughter is far more contagious than a yawn. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Other benefits of laughing instead of grumbling are: less pain, relaxed muscles, less heart disease and better moods. Now isn't that enough reason to make you smile?

Every child has a dream when they start off in life to become someone great and do great things. Somehow along the line of growth, those dreams are lost. Ninety percent of the world population is lateral, eking out a living by hard work and toil and still have a lot of month at the end of the money. This writer asks if this is or was the intention of our creator Father. This book explains how our Father is immensely rich and boasts of great abundance. It tells how earth's children choose to be poor and how the Creator Father feels sad. Most importantly, this book explains how one can start to live a life expressing the abundance of the universe in total joy and fulfillment. There is proof that such a life of maximum abundance exists and 10 percent of the earth's population testifies to that fact. You don t have to push drags, hit a jackpot, or win a great lottery to get into that 10 percent bracket. Yes, there are some people that have much from such venues, but research has shown that wealth gained in that manner is short lived and few get real satisfaction from it. You could live a life of abundance, a life of your dreams, if you learnt the secrets of linking yourself with the mind of the creator. This book reveals the fact that money and wealth are not the cause of wealth or poverty. It shows that each person's mind, attitude, approach, and preparedness to meeting money and wealth determine whether or not one becomes rich or poor. A person's mind also determines what level of wealth or poverty one will attain. The words of Solomon, the great king of Israel, then rings true again: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is He."

Dit spook beslis al sedert die oertyd in Suid-Afrika, maar die skrywer begin sy hervertelling van dosyne ware spookverhale met ’n vreemde voorval in November 1653 op ’n seilskippie in Tafelbaai, die eerste opgetekende geval.

Die magdom ware stories is tematies ingedeel volgens die soort verskynsel, van verjaarspoke, saampraatspoke en tydspronge, tot spookmotors, spookdiere, voorbodes en sieners.

Die verteltrant is lig en gemaklik met skeute humor, soos net Daniël Lötter kan.

"Have you ever yearned to soar above a world of trouble? If so, prepare to fly Barbara Anne Rose tells a true story of childhood joy dragged to earth by the weight of confusion, pain, and betrayal. But she gives wing to a spiritual journey and, a little at a time, recognizes the heavenly nature within herself and all of us. And she begins to soar, finding success, renewed happiness, the peace that comes from loving forgiveness, and her own inner divinity (with the help of a very special spirit-friend). How this worked for her-and how it can work for you-is now revealed in "Angel Works.""

-Richard D. Smith

I remember being born. Feeling sensations and movements within my mother's womb. This is not just a story of events that I have lived but of victorious survival. Feel every emotion inside of you.

All of us are born perfect. I had many visions as a child, and still do now, where I could see parts of my future.

Jesus Christ is a close friend. Knowledge is something that everyone should continually seek. One can never have enough and should never be satisfied with that which they have already acquired. My own life has been spent constantly learning new things. We are all flowers. Once pure in spirit. Pure in love. We once knew all things good. When will you make your stand for spiritual freedom?

This book can change your life if you want it to. Where are you right now in your spiritual evolution? Do you hold hate and judgment or love and forgiveness?
