Driven by a yearning to see his father again before the end, and called by an eerie horn unheard by anyone else, Karma forges into the Himalayas and discovers that his father's disappearance may be linked to a mystical mountain said to connect the physical world with the spirit lands--and a possible way to save their doomed future.

Hardback. Condition: Good. This manuscript is a piece of work which has been in the making for approximately 10 years. It started off as small speeches which I delivered to a congregation of multicultural individuals. I documented these speeches on paper and after 5 years of collecting them I asked myself how do I continue to benefit the world with this knowledge. It was a conscious decision to organize these speeches in a way which would exemplify the teachings of Islam and call all those who read it from the ancient religious practices of Judaism and Christianity to their natural progression of Islam. In this book I take passages from the Torah, Gospel, Medical, scientific, social, and Islamic sources to prove that we as humanity have been called To return back to the ways of Abraham. This Book may fall under the genres of religion however I hope to show how science and religion are connected. This book has its sources for each fact as well as a reference where someone who's interested may go back and do their own research. My target audience is all who are interested in the Kingdom of God In this life as well as the next. This book is specifically an explanation of the 5 principles of Islam explained from the different sources. My plan is to follow up this book with another one for a person who decides to enter the fold of Islam On how to view life from a psychological, economical, and sociological standpoint.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A chance encounter at a summer party on Martha's Vineyard blossomed into an improbable but enduring friendship. Carly Simon and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis made an unlikely pair - Carly, a free and artistic spirit still reeling from her recent divorce, searching for meaning, new love, and an anchor; and Jackie, one of the most celebrated, meticulous, unknowable women in American history. Nonetheless, over the next decade their lives merged in inextricable and complex ways, and they forged a connection deeper than either could ever have foreseen. The time they spent together - lingering lunches and creative collaborations, nights out on the town and mundane movie dates - brought a welcome lightness and comfort to their days, but their conversations often veered into more profound territory as they helped each other navigate the shifting waters of life lived, publicly, in the wake of great love and great loss.An intimate, vulnerable, and insightful portrait of the bond that grew between two iconic and starkly different American women, Carly Simon's Touched by the Sun is a chronicle, in loving detail, of the late friendship she and Jackie shared. It is a meditation on the ways someone can unexpectedly enter our lives and change its course, as well as a celebration of kinship in all its many forms.…
