[close] Cultures throughout Europe believed there was once a gospel written in Christ's own hand, a treasure of almost unimaginable magnitude. It was referred to by the Cathar culture in France, who claimed to be direct descendants of Christ, as The Book of Love. But the teachings in The Book of Love were radical and contrary to the political agenda of the Church. Papal forces launched one of the bloodiest crusades in history against the Cathars in an effort to wipe out their 'heresy' - and to gain possession of the original, incendiary manuscript - a document so revolutionary that its contents would be considered ground-breaking and visionary 2000 years later. In The Book of Love, Maureen Paschal continues her journey of discovery begun in The Expected One, following evidence in stone and stained glass, clues left 800 years ago by the ancient architects of the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe. As Maureen and her team get closer to the truth, they find themselves locked in the most ancient human struggle [close]

[close] I was talking two days ago with a couple of friends and I asked them what was their dream, and the husband replied: To retire. To which I said: Did you have this dream since you were a child?And he confirmed this to me. I was amazed by this reply given that for me this is my worst nightmare but realized that this may be the case for many people. So now I turn to you: whats your opinion on retirement? [close]

[close] A second chance. It's not only the title of a Bethlehem mother's new book...it's also the theme of her life. To say Sandra Gerencher has her hands full is an understatement. On top of being a Special Ed teacher in the Bangor school district, she's also a single Mom to four. PJ, Shelby, Ramsies, and 13 year old Terry. She adopted Terry, who has severe Autism 5 years ago. Asbergers, Autism, Mental Retardation. You name it he has it, seizures. The dogs were rescued too. Ramsies is from a high kill shelter. Ramsies followed Terry where ever he went. Terry's bond with dogs started when he first moved in with Sandra. When adopted said he could never talk in full sentences. When he talks to dogs he does in full sentences. Sandra recently put that bond to paper in a book called Second Chance. It teaches kid's about adoption. A lot of technical books out there but none, kid's can really understand. Sandra's pooches, past and present, she's adopted 7 within the past 10 years, share [close]

[close] I was fortunate that Victor Cauduro, one of Mexico's finest painters, agreed to be my cover artists. But then he allowed me to use his work to create this video which won a Covey Award--e only award for book trailers--an honor which I attribute completely to his beautiful work. The good reaction to "Imaginary Lines" so far is also largely in part to Ana Maria and here tales of Mexicana girlhood and acute cultural observations. [close]
