California cultists, duplicitous damsels in distress, and dangerously high stakes conspire against Joe Quinn, a private eye who is beginnnig to feel more like a knight-errant Joe Quinn is cut adrift. He’s lost everything. His girl. His job. His place in the universe. A security head for a casino in Reno just can’t afford to have a gambling problem. Life takes a turn from tragic to strange when Quinn finds himself on the doorsteps of a religious cult’s tower in the remote California hills. Quinn hitched a ride from Reno but never thought he’d end up in a place like this. But a gambler has to play the hand he’s dealt. When one of the cultists asks Quinn to check on a man named Patrick O’Gorman and slides a not so small amount of money in his jacket, well, that’s just the sort of hand Quinn has been looking for. Thing is, Quinn soon finds out, O’Gorman disappeared under bizarre circumstances several years ago. For reasons he doesn’t entirely understand, perhaps for the sake of having a purpose, Quinn begins a lurid quest to uncover the truth. What he finds out instead is that there are just as many crazies outside the walls of a cultist tower as there are inside.

Every now and then the past yields up one of its lost treasures. This book is just such a gem. Bronson Alcott, friend and sometimes mentor to Emerson and Thoreau in Concord, was also a visionary educator who believed that the psyche of a child already carries within it the imprint of spirit and wisdom. At his school in Boston in the 1830s, he held this extraordinary series of conversations on such themes as spirit, consciousness, conscience, love, humility, the Holy Ghost, and the knower.

Zabar is quite a guy . . . dresses appropriately for every occasion, speaks well, and is very caring. But he has a big job to do, and if his matter-of-fact words of wisdom fall on deaf ears, watch out--he's not afraid to use the wrath of God to get his point across. Some are receptive to him and his message, others aren't. These stories are a small sampling of events that take place around the world at every moment. Zabar and the others like him stroll in and out of our lives like the wind. For lack of a better understanding and description, we simply refer to these events as miracles.

"This short book offers a dazzling new interpretation of Paul Klee's most famous work: his Angelus Novus (1920), which was purchased by Walter Benjamin and became the model for his Angel of History, a figure saturated with Jewish mysticism that he introduces in his "Theses on the Philosophy of History." In 2014 the celebrated American artist R. H. Quaytman made a surprising discovery about Klee's work when she examined it at the Jewish Museum in Israel. She realized that Klee had carefully pasted the Angelus down over another image, a face, leaving just a finger's breadth of it showing. Through forensic science and lots of sleuthing it was determined that face belonged to Martin Luther. Behind the Angel of History tells the story of how Quaytman solved the mystery of who lurks behind Klee's angel. It then plunges into questions about why a face long hidden beneath another picture might matter. The book travels through a tangle of loaded conversations among images-from Klee's Angelus to Benjamin's own drawing of a crucified angel, from Klee's Angelus to Quaytman's own layered panels meditating on its secret"--

"Ten Days with an Angel" is a personal account of a young, professional man whose shallow life is transformed after meeting an angel. While taking some time off from work, he is confronted by a man claiming to be an angel. Over the course of the next 10 days there are a series of bizarre "coincidences" with no logical explanation. Intrigued both by the days' events and the angel's uncanny insights and predictions, the author cannot help but follow along to see what's around the next corner. As the various events enfold, the angel shares his observations about mankind, causing the young man to question his own values and purpose in life. But the angel is full of profound answers and the incidents turn into a vehicle for change, not just for the man, but for all who experience the angel's unusual methods.
