Thirty-five centuries ago the sun had a daughter: Hatshepsut. Youngest daughter of the Pharaoh, she was a lithe and magical child. But when her older sister died, it became her duty to purify the dynasty’s bloodline. She was to wed Thothmes, her father’s illegitimate son, who was heir to the throne. But fearing his son’s incompetence, Hatshepsut’s father came to her with startling news. She was to be Pharaoh, ruler of the greatest empire the world had ever known--provided, of course, that the unprecedented ascension by a woman did not inspire the priests to treason or instill in her half-brother and future consort sufficient hatred to have her put to death.            This is the premise for Child of the Morning, based closely on the historical facts. Hatshepsut assumed the throne at the age of fifteen and ruled brilliantly for more than two decades. Her achievements were immortalized on the walls of her magnificent temple at Deir el-Bahri, built by her architect and lover, Senmut.            Sensuous and evocative, Child of the Morning is the story of one of history’s most remarkable women.

Almost a Chime-child

Storey, Edward

This fascinating book addresses the perpetual questions of mankind's age-old search for spiritual understanding. In it, Gregory Shaw has presented the results of a lifetime of spiritual investigation in a story format that is not only easy to read and understand, but also bursting with insight and revelation. 
There is a continuation of life after this physical one. It has been described and documented extensively in the surviving records of a wide variety of cultures in different places and times of human history. It has been only during the last century that modern spiritual investigators have collected and compared the evidence. Anyone who peruses the literature of near-death experiences will find a remarkable consistency to the events and situations encountered by those who have been to the other side, and come back to tell about it. There are many. 
However, Spirit is much more than an anthology of the literature of survival of the human soul. It vividly describes the physical, mental, and spiritual nature of human beings, and the nature of our relationship to other humans in flesh and in the spirit. It explains our responsibilities to those whom we live among, to the great powers of the universe, to our individual selves, and to the One Self. It derives from the ancient spiritual traditions of Taoism, Buddhism, and early Christianity, more recent Theosophy, and direct personal revelatory spiritual experience. It will be your guide to a deeper understanding of the meaning of your life and actions. If you know and understand the philosophy presented in this book, and base your actions on this new understanding, you cannot help but bring more purpose, peace of mind, and care for others into your life.

Spirit: A Story of Death ... and Life

Shaw, Gregory

The Deep South of the 60's was a bigoted system of haves and have-nots. Racial lines between black and white Southerners were beginning to blur, with social issues being scrutinized more than ever. Tempers flared easily. Jerry Sanger, the son of a white ex-sharecropper, and Eloisa Jones, daughter of a black grocery store owner, suddenly find themselves caught in the middle of a racial battle. The discovery of their secret friendship and budding romance go against all things holy in Princeville, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Sanger's friends in the Coahoma Street Gang find social issues of the times a challenge. As they wrestle with a small-minded class structure, Princeville must come to terms with incest, murder, and secret homosexuality. How everyone deals with these issues will, no doubt, surprise you.

Before I knew better, I tried to hide the very thing that gave me individuality and strength. Today, I consider cerebral palsy a blessing, one that benefited my life in far more ways than it hurt.This award-winning book contains poems with narrative accompanying each poem revealing my life growing up and aging with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Some aspects of my life were good; others were not. Fortunately, there have been more good times than bad. Many people have gone through similar times; I am not alone on my journey.If, by chance, you know one of the 500,000 or so Americans with CP, share the poems with them. They are the reason I wrote them, especially the young. A lifelong disability does not have to be a lesser life. I have lived a good life through middle age and look forward to many more happy years. I wish for others a life as blessed as mine.
