There comes a time in life, when we need to stop existing and start living. We are here for a purpose, and to fulfill that purpose, we need Spiritual Wisdom. The Creator needed us to learn few lessons to live a rewarding life in human form. The points we discuss in this book gently nudge all of us to look deeper into our lives. This book deals with 21 simple personal rituals that, if followed, would enhance the quality of our lives. The fabric of life that we want to weave would look beautiful and serene with these simple rituals. Our ultimate aim is to become an expression of our Creator. Absorbing these simple ways of life would take us one step closer to that expression. So, let's stop existing; It's Time to Live Again!

A Time to Live and a Time to Die will inspire its readers through a greater understanding of God's seasons for humanity as revealed by Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes. It describes in poetry and rhyme the ever-changing nature of the seasons yet their harmony and purpose.

This book emerges from a heart of terror and courage, and is a poignant lesson in the power of faith. This translates into a fast moving inspirational story where lives are saved against impossible odds. The author shows the reader the tragedy of war torn Bosnia, at a time when ignorance, suspicion and fear were stirred into racial hatred, which quickly degenerated into the vicious circle of ethnic warfare. Many readers will take great comfort in the author's fortitude and marvel at her ability to see rays of hope penetrating the darkest clouds. She conveys the tragedy of Bosnia and demonstrates how, when tough love is put into action even when surrounded by pain and hatred, one can make a small contribution on the side of good. This true story offers hope to victims of violence by helping them to realise that others are prepared to make great sacrifices in order to ease their suffering and, in this case, save lives against impossible odds. It is the quality of child-like faith in God which helped the author and her husband through the darkest of hours, and which makes this such a potent story, because religion only becomes truly meaningful when it can be seen to be working in peoples lives, and making a difference.

Religion does not breed terrorism, hatred does. From Madhav Thapar the author of the much loved A Friend Like Karna comes his second novel The Times We Live In. This is a world of terror and treachery, but also patriotism and hope. Spanning the seven decades and more since India and Pakistan gained Independence; it cleverly juxtaposes references to true events with a tale of different generations of two families separated by the bloodiest partition ever. At the centre of the narrative is the hunt for the dreaded terrorist, code named Cobra. As the faceless enemy spreads his tentacles of terror, the Indian RAW is in relentless pursuit, and the body count rises. The action shifts rapidly from scene to scene across three continents and multiple timelines. Yet, this is not a thriller alone. In his trademark style, the author brings forward various aspects of human drama: love, sacrifice and family values, even as he unravels the motivation and machinations of a criminal mind. Suspense till the very end, and twists and turns throughout.

Waxman (English, U. of North Carolina) compares autobiographical writings that cover themes related to aging, namely the relationships between elderly parents and middle-aged children, the experience of turning 70, the role of race, philosophical insights and quasi- mystical experiences by the aging, and the representation of elders as sages and sibyls. She discusses works by Philip Roth, Madeleine L'Engle, Lucille Clifton, Doris Grumbach, May Sarton, Audre Lorde, Maya Angelou, Velma Wallis, Howell Raines, Donald Hall, and Florida Scott- Maxwell.

Live in the Moment came about by the grace of God. We can look at the past for anything and still cannot find what we are looking for. If we are living in the moment, what can go wrong? The past has gone, and the moment is what you can see. Life is one big road with many signs. We create so many signs and thoughts we forget and get lost in them. To my awareness if we cannot live in the present moment, then we cannot truly enjoy life, because the past is gone and the future is living in the moment.
