In Manogue's latest book, Bed, Bosh, and Beyond, he takes us a step further in the process of how we live our lives. Here, we confront the ultimate challenge - death - and we are introduced to Rob, a man who has lived life on his own terms, died, and is brought through a life review whereby he sees segments of his life interspersed with commentary from his afterlife guide played by none other than his hero, George Carlin. Through reflection and insight into behavioral patterns and attitudes expressed throughout his life, Rob comes to a full awareness of the unity of all life regardless of its multiplicity in expression. As readers, we are given an opportunity to reflect upon our own lives and how our attitudes shape us and confine us. Bed, Bosh, and Beyond is in actuality a primer for living...and as we share in his story, we can reshape our own.

The Butterfly Ball is a story of transformation, and Hal Manogue masterfully weaves events that bring about resolution to painful situations in one way or another. He shows the importance of our perception and how by the way we look at things, we create our heaven or hell right here and now. This story does not sugar-coat life. It is filled with many of the dilemmas that are faced, and shows how the way we handle them can support us in building meaningful lives or condemn us to a life lived in fear.

Mase Russell chooses to manifest on Earth as a human with Downs syndrome in order to show us that we are more than we have perceived possible. He reveals that we are living behind the veil of this beauty shop we call life, blinded by materialism, greed, and ego-centric notions that distort the true beauty of our spiritual selves. Through Mase's love, poetry, and art, his two moms Cindy and Margie; his biological donor and surrogate father Alan; and his grandparents Warren and Claire, we learn that we are living parallel lives in other dimensions. After a near-death experience that changed their marriage and every aspect of their lives, Warren and Claire convert their Nashville acreage into Perception Farms, an eco-friendly community where homeless people are restored to dignity and productivity through education, understanding, and spiritual awareness. Follow the Russell family as they expand their minds and the outreach of their commune through wisdom and a love strong enough to change the world. Depicting fantasy-like scenery and utmost respect for Mother Nature, Living Behind the Beauty shop will inspire readers to accept diversity, honor all life, and live in a higher awareness of truth.

This collection of Spirit Songs comes from another aspect of consciousness. It blends the ego with the inner spirit, so complete thoughts can be expressed freely.Each song plays its own melody and dances in and out of several dimensions of knowing. The words express other realities that intersect with the physical plane we find ourselves experiencing. This work brings us closer to understanding who we are and why we are creating the illusion we call life.
