Wings Of Hope

Have you ever wondered about the universe, your purpose here on earth, or what might await you in the afterlife? Author and life coach Cynthia Lynch Bischoff has often reflected on those questions in her transformational work with her clients. On Wings of Hope: Leading Lily Home explores those questions through a poignant recollection of Bischoff’s experience in assisting a young client through her journey with breast cancer and untimely death. Based on a true story and filled with wisdom and life lessons, this account describes Lily’s inspiring passage from despair to enlightenment as a result of Bischoff’s unconventional therapy and compelling and inspirational view of the afterlife. Her story, a journey from heartache to peace, demonstrates that the world is illusory and that we create our own reality. It offers an integration of Bischoff’s varied areas of expertise—life coaching, spiritual psychology, philosophy, and energy healing—to present a unique approach toward understanding the meaning of life, relationships, and mortality. Heartfelt and unforgettable, this memoir brings you face-to-face with important insights about life as it shares one woman’s true experience with death and the afterlife. “...

"I am his muse. But not for long..." When Mammon, the Prince of Greed, 'acquires' a half-blood slave known as 'Muse' for three nights, and bespells her with tales of a world where people live like kings and queens among towers of steel and glass, the seed of hope takes root in Muse's soul. But hope, for a half-human half-demon creature like her, is a dangerous thing. Especially when that tentative hope springs from the honeyed words of a Prince of Hell. What is Mammon's price for freedom? Meanwhile Da'mean, her ruthless owner, would rather see her dead, than free. She belongs to him. She is his muse. And no beast will take her from him. The netherworld is harsh and violent. Muse's demon kin are merciless, blood-hungry beasts, but little do they know, Muse has something far more dangerous coiled inside her, desperate for a taste of freedom. Her humanity.
