ORDINARY GRACE: The Examination of Roots of Compassion, Altruism, Empathy and the Ordinary Individuals who help others in Extraordinary Ways

Kathleen A. Brehony

Why do some people do good deeds? This book goes to the source. Clinical psychologist Kathleen Brehony set out to interview hundreds of men and women of all ages, creeds, and lifestyles - ordinary people who have managed to help others in extraordinary ways - and found that grace is all around us, in profoundly moving experiences and in small, almost imperceptible acts. With rare insight and inspiration, Brehony reminds us that compassion and generosity are qualities available to everyone - if we are willing to open our eyes and our hearts.

FAMILY OF LIGHT: Pleiadian Tales and Lessons in Living

Barbara Marciniak

Family of Light is the third book of the Pleiadian teachings channeled by Marciniak. The message which was initiated in Bringers of the Dawn, and amplified in Earth, now moves us into the challenge of change. Simply put, it is up to the human family to heal the wounds of the past, challenge fear, and those that would envelope the masses in despair and depression, and begin to live in the higher frequency vibration of inspiration and love. The Pleiadians urge us to rethink and reevaluate our lives. "You shall change, you will change, you must change, because this is the season of change."
