A beautifully written sequel to the inspirational Emmanuel's Book, with an introduction by Ram Dass. The Choice For Love offers insight into difficult relationships, aging, illness and healing, learning from AIDS and much more.

Top equestrian Lexy Imbriani comes to America to keep her fading Olympic hopes alive. Hamp Gambrell, the one man who matches her passion in the saddle as well as off, finds her a position in Southern Pines, North Carolina, historic home to many upper-level horses and riders in three-day eventing, the grueling Triathlon for horses and riders. At her wit's end, she hopes to make a go of it with Bo, Hawks Nest Farm's brilliant but troubled stallion. But then come accidents, threats, and escalating violence, putting her dream at even greater risk. How to find out who's sabotaging her and Bo--boarders? staff? family? Hamp? Digging deep into that death-defying courage she honed riding dangerous cross-country courses, Lexy must protect her magnificent stallion, and herself, and stop the killer who threatens to end their competing days forever. This suspenseful Southern family saga belongs on your bookshelf along with the best of Dick Frances' mysteries, Jilly Cooper's RIDERS and JUMP, Jane Smiley's HORSE HEAVEN, and Rita Mae Brown's Sister Jane foxhunting series. Horsemen and women will revel in the author's authentically realized horses and action, and anyone who ever dreamed of horses will be fascinated by this insider look at loving and training these amazing athletes to compete fiercely and fearlessly at the highest level of Olympic three-day eventing.

Here is the revealing underground classic, a work  that stands beside the "Seth" books as a  delightful and invaluable guide to our inner  spirit and our outer world. Emmanuel speaks to us  through Pat Rodegast and shares his wisdom and  insights on all aspects of life. Beautifully written and  illustrated, Emmanuel's Book I  is to be treasured, enjoyed and passed on to a  friend. Emmanuel says: "The gifts I wish to  give you are my deepest love, the safety of truth,  the wisdom of the universe and the reality of God .  . . . The issue of whether there is a Greater  Reality or not, for me at least, has been settled. I  know that there is. So I will speak to you from  the knowing that I possess."

Ram Dass, in the  introduction, says: "Being with Emmanuel one  comes to appreciate the vast evolutionary context  in which our lives are being lived . . . And at  each moment we are at just the right place in the  journey. As Emmanuel points out, 'Who you are is a  necessary step to being who you will be.'"
