 Radha, Diary of a Woman's Search
by Swami Radha
Sylvia Helman was a gifted classical dancer when she undertook a journey to India in 1955 to meet her spiritual teacher. At that time women did not travel alone in India nor live in an ashram with only men in a remote village. Sylvia did it all and after 6 months left for North America to begin her life's work as Swami Radha. This is a miraculous tale. Reviewed by Darlene Potter.

 Still Here
by Ram Dass
Thirty years ago he responded to the quest of the Woodstock generation seeking a new way of life, a life with meaning and fulfillment. Ram Dass returns to us after a massive cerebral hemorrhage to remind us we don't need to renounce our humanity to be more spiritual, that we can be both witness and participant, both eternal spirit and aging body. With a beautiful and compassionate heart he shows us the way to not only be a wise elder, but to be an incarnation of wisdom! Reviewed by Andrew Macklem-Cross.

 Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa
Editor: W.Y. Evans-Wentz
"What is the Quickest Way to Enlightenment" someone recently asked HH Dalai Lama? Upon hearing such a question, this great Nobel Laureaut leaned over into his own lap and wept. A stunned audience waited in silence. Then the Dalai Lama began to recount the life of Milarepa. The years of arduous practice while living in a cave were a strong part of his training. Early in his life Milarepa was misdirected. He caused a lot of suffering and had been trained in black magic. The great teacher Marpa guided Milarepa back onto the path of wisdom with incredible skill. The 'Songs of Milarepa' are famous exclamations of living wisdom. This book about one of the greatest Tibetan yogis is a must read for inspiration and a glimpse into what it really takes to attain enlightenment. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.

 The Man Who Talks with the Flowers
by Glenn Clark
This is the life story of Dr. George Washington Carver who was born a slave and became a master horticulturist and lecturer. He discovered over 300 uses for the peanut and 150 uses of the sweet potato. Carver is recognized for saving agriculture in the South by advocating rotation of these crops with cotton. This is an intimate account from Glenn Clark who was "one of the boys" who spread Carver’s message that prayer works. Dr. Carver was a spiritual teacher who taught that "if you love something enough it will reveal the secrets of its soul." Few knew that he was also a healer of some renown, using prayer and peanut oil to help polio patients. This is a wonderful little book that you’ll truly love and want to give all of your friends!

 The Reconnection
by Dr. Eric Pearl
The Reconnection is an amazing story told with wit and humor that will impact everyone who reads it in a very positive way. It tells of a wonderful new way to heal and be healed. Dr Pearl says he has been transformed by this reconnective energy and tells us that we can be too. The "new" frequencies of healing that Dr. Pearl talks about in The Reconnection, go beyond usual healing techniques and take us to levels above those previously available to anyone, anywhere. Dr Pearl's patients have been cured of diseases such as cancer, AIDS-related illnesses, birth defects, cerebral palsey and more and doctors and medical researchers worldwide are interested in these extraordinary healings. I consider this a MUST READ for everyone. Reviewed by Judy Gardner.
