A View from the Valley

Gut-wrenching and profound in its depiction of flawed humanity, it forces us to turn our souls inside out and examine who we are ourselves. It offers an intimate glimpse into the writer's struggle against a system of injustices which the writer philosophically, intellectually and sometimes physically, rejects. It is a story that will touch the heart of the reader, and doubtless, as the writer hopes, 'find a refuge in your spirit.' It nudges us to employ the better angels of our nature while calling us to a higher place.

Or I might ask, “What view of myself is registering with her that could cause her to
respond to me so untruthfully? Why is she not honest? God, help me to be.
Perhaps there are many reasons why we are unable to reveal our true selves to
others. Among them are: fear of lack of acceptance, loss of human value or
prestige, fear of rejection, or awareness of our weaknesses. These are all natural

Main Khalil Gibran Bol Raha Hoon

संसार के श्रेष्ठ चिंतकों में अग्रणी खलील जिब्रान के कथन मुख्यतः दैनिक जीवन में संदेश जैसे हैं, अतः वे हमारे जीवन को छूतेसे महसूस होते हैं। उनकी सूक्तियाँ सीधे मर्म को प्रभावित करती हैं। खलील जिब्रान का मानना है कि आदमी का आकलन उसके कर्म तय करते हैं। लेबनान में 6 जनवरी, 1883 को जनमे खलील स्वभाव से विनम्र, मौनप्रिय, भावुक, अच्छे श्रोता, स्त्री अधिकारों के पक्षधर और सकारात्मक आध्यात्मिक मार्ग दर्शक रहे। उनके लेखन में मुसलिम, सूफी, बहाई, हिंदू, बौद्ध आध्यात्मिक दर्शन के साथ-साथ ईसा मसीह, ब्लेक, नीत्से, यीट्स, व्हिटमैन, इमरसन और उनके समकालीन चिंतक विचारकों के विचारों का संगम देखने को मिलता है। उनके कथन एवं सूक्त वाक्य अनुकरणीय हैं, जो हमारे जीवन दर्शन को गहरे प्रभावित करते हैं।

In the Valley of the Shadow

On the Foundations of Religious Belief

The author invites readers to witness the exploration on religion that he undertook after being diagnosed with an aggressive, and likely fatal, form of cancer.

Valley. of. the. Shadow. of. Death. “A must-read for anyone concerned with how
drugs and gangs ravaged Los Angeles, how the criminal justice system
seemingly tortures the families of crime victims, and how California's death row is
a world apart with its hateful logic and propensity for violence.” —Los Angeles
Times “Kermit Alexander has turned unspeakable tragedy into the most
speakable memoir possible. His message is a must-read. To lose a family is to
lose yourself.

Welcome to America, Mr. Sherlock Holmes

Victorian America meets Arthur Conan Doyle

Christopher Redmond’s fascinating account of Doyle’s first trip to America has been reconstructed from newspaper accounts describing the places Doyle visited, from the Adirondacks to New York, Chicago, and Toronto. Despite the gruelling tour schedule, Doyle met dozens of the most important literary and social lights of America. Everywhere he went he was mobbed by public hungry for news of the man he had "killed off" a year earlier — Sherlock Holmes, who was front page news. In Redmond’s lively narrative, which is based on letters, newspaper reports, and other newly unearthed sources, you will discover, as Doyle himself put it, "the romance of America."

Ask Me if I'm Happy

An Actor's Life

One of Britain's best-loved comic actors, Peter Bowles is perhaps most famous for his role as nouveau riche lord of the manor, Richard de Vere, in the hit television comedy To the Manor Born. The show earned itself cult sit-com status when it first aired in the 1970s and 80s and, as the success of the 2007 Christmas special showed, it continues to be hugely popular around the world. Now, in this witty, charming and colourful memoir, Peter Bowles recalls experiences and anecdotes from the time as well as from countless other productions he has worked on during more than half a century in the business. From his early days at Stratford under the direction of John Osborne to roles on iconic television programmes like The Avengers and The Irish R.M., to his current work with the great Peter Hall, Peter Bowles has worked, and laughed, with some of the biggest names in British drama. Funny, candid and warming in equal measure, Peter Bowlesis the very personal story of this inspiring and quintessentially British actor.

Touchstone

"TOUCHSTONE," by Linda Eatmon-Jones is an inspirational biography of her husband, Earle F. Jones' life and the incredible family legacy he was born into. The devastation of a Ku Klux Klan raid, burning down all of his family's property in the early 1920s, created a determination in his grandfather not to let that traumatic event define the family's future. The resiliency, strength and courage his grandfather used to create a new future for their family started a legacy of success that contributed to the successful man Earle is today. The lessons taught to each generation of letting education guide your destiny is Earle's road map to being a life student, compassionate friend, accomplished professional and caring citizen of the world. The essays, written by family, friends and colleagues bear out how Earle embodies those lessons created by a family legacy.
