"This book is a must for a personal library. It is filled with pages of infinite wisdom and advice that can be used by anyone of any age, any religion." "This is one of the most inspiring books I have read, and I have read most of them." "This amazing book has changed my life." "Reading this beautiful, expressive book will change the world." And now, from the silence of communion with Sanaya comes In the Silence, a second full year of universal messages of love and hope. Who is Sanaya? Suzanne Giesemann answers: "She is a collective consciousness that comes from a higher dimension than our own. Sanaya takes us outside the confines of being human to a dimension where we come face to face with our higher selves. To hear the words of Sanaya as they come through-to sit in the presence of that energy-is a palpable experience of higher vibration ... of love. To read Sanaya's words can have the same result when you tune in to that finer energy as you read." In the material world with its ups and downs, a daily dose of Sanaya's loving energy is like a multi-vitamin for the soul. Whether you read the messages in order or choose a selection at random makes no difference. You will feel as if you're being consoled and counseled by a concerned and loving friend, connected with the essence of your true self. In this new collection of spiritual wisdom, Sanaya shares how to find peace in the midst of chaos and live a life of love and compassion.

If the word "Alzheimer's" has become part of your vocabulary, you're probably looking for answers. What can I expect? How do I deal with this disease? Hold on for a no-holds-barred look at what it's like to live day to day with Alzheimer's disease. Other books and Internet websites provide signs, symptoms, and checklists. The Real Alzheimer's tells it like it really is in 21 candid interviews with caregivers, family members, practitioners, and the patients themselves. These emotionally compelling true stories of ordinary people coping with the different facets of Alzheimer's disease cover a variety of situations: husbands or wives caring for their partners, children caring for their parents, and practitioners caring for their patients. You'll hear from a cross-section of society: high income and low, well-educated and street-wise. You'll witness the beginning, middle, late, and end stages of this devastating disease. You'll meet caregivers dealing with their struggles alone, those paying for in-home care, and those who have placed their loved one in a nursing home. With awareness comes understanding and acceptance. The Real Alzheimer's is filled with the often poignant, sometimes funny, occasionally earthy, and always thought-provoking experiences and advice of those who are personally dealing with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Here you'll find an honest and heartfelt look at what to expect when the diagnosis of Alzheimer's becomes a reality, and the best way to handle the challenges that lie ahead.

Are there dimensions of existence beyond the material world? If so, can we connect with loved ones who have passed, and with higher levels of consciousness than our own? Messages of Hope is the page-turning story of a former skeptic who has found the answers to these questions and more through evidential communication with the unseen realms. When Commander Suzanne Giesemann, former U.S Navy commanding officer and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, walked the halls of the Pentagon and flew on Air Force One, she did everything by the book. A personal witness to the horrors of 9/11, she saw things in black and white, with little time for spiritual seeking. Never did she expect that a personal family tragedy would propel her on a mystical journey that would turn her life's path in a most unexpected direction. Follow Suzanne-now a practicing psychic-medium-as she moves from doubt and disbelief to full faith and trust in a reality beyond the physical senses. Laced with spirit-inspired poetry and compelling answers to many of life's big questions, Suzanne's remarkable story will leave readers with the comforting and credible message that this life is not all there is.

Psychic medium B. Anne Gehman gave her first spirit readings to her teddy bears at age five. Raised in the Mennonite tradition, she left home at age 14 to finish her schooling. A life-changing near-death experience led Anne to develop her natural gifts, including an uncanny ability to predict future events. She has gained international attention for her help in solving crimes, locating oil and missing persons, healing illnesses, and connecting family members with their loved ones in spirit. She has worked with top government agencies and officials, police departments, judges, and corporate CEOs. While remarkable for her spiritual gifts and experiences, Anne's life is all the more fascinating due to an unusual twist: she is married to Wayne Knoll, Ph.D., a former Jesuit priest. A brilliant student devoted to his faith, Wayne also left home at 14 to join a Roman Catholic seminary. Even while pursuing his life's dream as a professor of literature at Georgetown University, Wayne felt an emptiness that only a woman could fill. After more than a decade of religious training, he made the wrenching decision to leave the priesthood, not knowing if he would find the love he sought. "The Priest and the Medium "shares the remarkable story of two soul mates on parallel paths with divergent beliefs, yet united in their love for God and each other.
