  • Have you ever suffered a loss - a relationship, a family member or friend, a job, a possession? If you are still attached to this past loss, it is holding up your life.  How about letting it go, in order to bring love, happiness and fulfilment into your life? To let go is one of the most valuable of healing principles because all problems involve some form of holding on or attachment. Psychologist and seminar leader Chuck Spezzano can lead the way through a step-by-step guide to letting go of these attachments and the beginning of healing. If you want to create change in your life and have a better future, then this is the book for you.

  • A real treasure chest of a book - one to dip into for wisdom from across the ages, from all ages and professions, from literary figures to world leaders.  There really is something for every human condition and for everyone: Mark Twain...I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened. Or perhaps Honoré de Balzac: There is no such thing as a great talent without great will-power. And here's John Wesley in a wry moment: Some people have just enough religion to make them uncomfortable. Abraham Lincoln knew what he was talking about when he said: Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. And Abigail Van Buren, famous agony aunt, observed: People who fight fire with fire, usually end up with ashes.

Here, his wise guide Nicholas helps him to make sense of his experiences and introduces him to other children who have experienced the difficulties of living with cerebral palsy. They come from all countries and cultures on Earth; their stories encompass differences in customs, treatments, institutions and homes. Intertwined with these stories, Malu, a physiotherapist, provides a manual of care for the parents, carers and teachers who work with children with disabilities. Cerebral palsy is explained, exercises and equipment are suggested and skills are described.

  • What is a swami? What are they really like? What do their teachings actually say? This book is concerned with just these questions and explores with enthusiasm and respect the wise (and sometimes not-so-wise) holy men of India. It looks at their teachings and methods in the search for peace, their ways of life, their human personalities and their holy purpose. It's a profound look at what East and West can mean to each other and also a series of portraits of the swamis, babas, yogis and ordinary people that Doug Boyd encountered during his travels.

  • This is the story of Mary Slessor  (1848 - 1915) whose heroic service is commemorated in a window in the Victoria Art Gallery, Dundee. In 1874 there was a great wave of missionary enthusiasm and Mary Slessor answered the call.  In 1876 she set sail from Liverpool for Nigeria where she learned Efik, one of the numerous local languages, then began teaching. Because of her understanding of the native language and her bold personality Mary Slessor gained the trust and acceptance of the locals and was able to spread Christianity  while promoting women's rights and protecting native children.
