Book Description

A travelogue of Bhutan and its neighbors in the Himalayas that introduces readers to a world that has emerged from the middle ages only to find itself peering into the abyss of modernity. "For anyone with a serious interest in Buddhism, it's essential reading" (Washington Post Book World). For more than a thousand years Tibet, Sikkim, Ladakh, and Bhutan were the santuaries of Tantric Buddhism. But in the last half of this century, geopolitics has scoured the landscape of the Himalayas, and only the reclusive kingdom of Bhutan remains true to Tantric Buddhism.

This delightful and enchanting story, told with heart and humor, is about a friendship and a journey that inspires a human to step up and transform his life – and about an angel earning his wings back. While Ben learns and applies the ten simple principles the angel is reviewing, he soon learns to create freedom for himself and others. He rediscovers life’s larger meaning, his true purpose, and the path to real happiness. Ben’s life has become meaningless. His job is at risk, his wife left him and he feels like he has no purpose and nothing to look forward to. He’s just making it through every strenuous day. But then he meets an angel - a fallen angel. The angel lost his wings and now needs to review ten lessons to be invited back into heaven. Ben decides to help his new friend with his tasks. Together they embark on a journey that would change their worlds forever! “Ms Lang provides a how-to guide for Creating Heaven on Earth by incorporating her Ten Principles into an easy-to read novella. Ben’s story portrays our own flaws that cause our suffering and self-defeating behaviors. Ben’s angel, Daniel, provides him (and the reader) effective cognitive and behavioral strategies all with a strong spiritual underpinning.

Book Description

It's obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone's mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises. Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.

Book Description

She has nothing... Rain Minear has fantasized about finding herself in Joe Moffat's arms for years. It's just her luck that the night it finally happens, he's carrying her into the emergency room. It's Joe who steps up to help her when a tragedy brings her life crashing down. He gives her a place to stay, helps her get back on her feet, and even tries to save her Christmas, though he's never cared for the holiday. But he's far too ethical to sleep with a member of his staff, holding her at arms length despite the long-simmering attraction between them. He has everything... Haunted by ghosts of the past, Joe Moffat moved to Scarlet Springs to repay a debt. He's struggled for years to keep his hands off Rain. She's the general manager of his brewpub, and he is not that kind of boss. But, oh, she turns him on. More than that, she has the biggest heart of any woman he's ever known. He'd do anything to see her smile again, even put up a Christmas tree and listen to carols. The most important Christmas of their lives... When a Rocky Mountain blizzard leaves them snowbound and alone together for days, they can no longer ignore their feelings for one another. As their passion turns to something deeper, it becomes clear to them both that this will be a Christmas that changes their lives forever.

Book Description

He was a rogue of a ghost. Jackson Tate was a ghost. Since he wasn't good enough for heaven, and wasn't bad enough for, well..."the other place," his spirit was trapped in a run-down saloon in the Washington Territory. But then he had a chance to start earning his shot at heaven. All he had to do was rescue a little girl, and make sure that she forgot all about him. The first part was easy, but somehow the second part just didn't get done, and Jackson found himself haunting the same old bar. She loved a man who didn't exist. In the fifteen years since Rachel Morgan last saw the "angel" who brought her to safety, she'd grown to womanhood. Having given her heart to the heavenly being, she has no desire to marry a mortal man. But destiny has plans for Rachel's unborn daughter, so the errant spirit is granted a new mission...and another chance for salvation. Jackson has a month in mortal guise to find a good husband for Rachel, convince her to marry and make himself scarce. But can a ghost from her past give her the future she's dreamed of? Or will he disappear again, this time forever?
