[because] she knows what is coming in the future. She is calling
all Gods children back on the path to Heaven." -Ivan Dragicevic, a

The Spiritual Journey of George Washington by bestselling author
Janice T. Connell illumines the rare but supremely brilliant
leadership of the first and only unanimously elected President of
the United States. George Washington, modest yet elegant, handsome,
always projecting strength, graciousness and power, was universally
considered the most humble man who ever lived. Born into modest
circumstances, he wholeheartedly responded to whatever
opportunities life offered him. Self-taught Washington was no
stranger to sorrow, cold, hunger, persecution, violence, or
terrorism, yet he was at home not only in the wilds of the
frontier, but equally so in the finest salons of the times. His
singular accomplishment was to face misfortune and conquer it. This
greatest of all American heroes achieved startling victory by
discipline, commitment, prayer, and the graced ability to bend his
will under the yoke of what he called "Kind Providence." With
precision and detail in a rare look at his extraordinary leadership
through the prism of George Washington's interior depths, the
author briefly examines: -his boyhood scarred by the early death of
his father, --his life as a young surveyor on the dangerous
frontier, -his heroics as a militia leader in the French and Indian
War, -his place at the Continental Congress, -his unwanted
assignment as Commander-in Chief during the Revolutionary War, -his
desolation at Valley Forge, -his silent triumph at the
Constitutional Convention, -his simplicity during the heights of
his presidency, -his mystical premonitions during his retirement at
Mount Vernon - his spiritual and religious circumstances
surrounding his sudden death in the darkness of mid-December, 1799.
Held in the highest regard by his fellow citizens, history has
canonized George Washington as the most esteemed of the Founding
Fathers. At the root of that esteem was his deeply private
spirituality. The Spiritual Journey of George Washington includes
the full text of Washington's personal prayers (some possibly
composed by Washington himself) and Jesuit inspired Rules of
Civility by which George Washington conducted himself personally.
It also includes the Declaration of Independence by which George
Washington became the military leader responsible for carving out a
new nation.The book reveals insights concerning military, political
and social victories Washington achieved through sincere, humble
leadership he perfected using his Bible as a guideline for just
behavior in peace and war. Washington went about feeding the
hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing and sheltering the
needy, visiting the imprisoned, caring for the sick and burying the
dead. As General George Washington counseled, instructed,
admonished, fought, forgave and prayed for others, he forged a path
of national opportunity for American citizens to acquire undreamed
of prosperity and abundance. In contemporary times wracked by wars,
terrorism, disease, starvation, confusion and tyranny, The
Spiritual Journey of George Washington has wisdom for everyone of
good will. Washington's accomplishments and writings disclose that
"Kind Providence" truly was in him, around him, and always with
him. The book contains excerpts of Washington's Farewell Address
that continues to guide Americans more than two hundred years
later. The nurturing light of George Washington's spirituality is
his finest bequest to all people who seek life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

Janice T. Connell is an attorney and the author of Angel Power and
Meetings with Mary. She is a dynamic lecturer who speaks all over
the United States and abroad.
"There are many angels, maybe as many as the stars in the sky . . . ." And every single one of these precious beings offers the world unique blessings. ANGEL POWER describes the special tasks and responsibilities of each of the Nine Choirs of Angels. The Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones are angels of goodness, love, and wisdom. The Angels of Dominion are angels of leadership. From the Virtue Angels flow miracles of healing, comfort, and peace. The Power Angels are special warriors against evil and defenders of goodness. The Principalities, Archangels, and Angels administer our planet. By illuminating each Choir's special powers, the author enables us more easily to draw upon its particular, radiant light. Weaving her own personal angel experiences together with angel prayers and with true angel stories she has been told, the author teaches us to open ourselves to angelic guidance, support, and protection. Her book spreads before us a dazzling and profoundly reassuring prospect of angel power at work -- a vision so beautiful and potent that those who experience it feel they know heaven on earth.
