Yet 18th-century theologian Emanuel Swedenborg wrote that these secrets are described symbolically in the stories of the Old Testament. Geoffrey S. Childs presents a thoughtful and moving study based on Swedenborg's works. One by one, he unfolds the stories of Genesis, revealing the struggles, triumphs, and inner development of Jesus Christ as He forged the path of love and wisdom for us to follow. to follow.

Journal for Grief and Healing: When Someone You Love Dies

This is a guided journal. Donnette begins with a page about loss and healing:  "When someone close to you dies, the impact is life-changing . . . . In the midst of grief, it's often hard to know what you need. One thing that can help is to realize that your spirit has suffered a very serious wound . . . . "  She then briefly introduces the journal pages:  "A journal is a place where your heart can speak in privacy and freedom. It is a place where it is safe to be completely honest about what you are thinking and how you are feeling. It can uncover thoughts and emotions you may be scarcely aware of."  Pages 10 through 93 provide space for journaling. At the upper left and lower right of each page spread are thoughts and quotations on grief, healing, and afterlife. Some quotes are from the Bible and others are from a wide variety of sources, such as John Adams, Shakespeare, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emanuel Swedenborg, Helen Keller, and Charles Lindbergh. After the journaling pages, Donnette concludes with some text about afterlife, and then provides a list of "Recommended Reading" books about grief recovery and about afterlife.

In the late 1600's a Quaker named Thomas Powell left his home in Wales and came to America. Along with his family, he brought two treasures to the new world: his belief in God and apple seedlings. Both would be an enduring heritage for his family, passed down to his children and children's children as they worked to settle the land and build a nation. This historical novel by Vera Powell Glenn follows members of the Powell family through three centuries of development and change. They established homes, planted orchards, married, bore children, and fought for the land in which they could worship in freedom. Ten generations after Thomas Powell first set foot on William Penn's land, his descendant, David Sylvanus Powell, returned to Pennsylvania. David's move, like his ancestor's, was prompted by his family's religion. The story of his life frames The Apple Orchards, and celebrates a continuing harvest of natural and spiritual fruit.

The messages in this book, recorded in the early 1900s, were provided to Margaret Scott Houts by those who died and then found themselves even more alive and well in a similar but more perfect spiritual world. They then desired to help those left behind to understand what happens after death.    Knowing that the spiritual world is real and wonderful can lessen fear and grief. Seeing the interrelationship between the two worlds illustrates that this earthly life is merely a preparation for eternal life. This can provide comfort as we come to view our challenges and tragedies with renewed meaning and purpose as part of our progression to a purer reality. (Originally published in 1912 as Voices From the Open Door, then in 1962 as Messages From Beyond.)

This year, however, it does not feel like enough for Keira to simply watch the dragon fly overhead. She longs to be closer, and one day climbs up Dragon Hill-only to witness a sight that horrifies her. Keira resolves to take action, to make sure that Mother Dragon will not repeat the terrible deed that Keira saw her do. And yet, as she carries out her decisions, problems arise that Keira never anticipated. Were her decisions the right ones? Or did they make things worse than before?
