When his grandson was born, Daniel Gottlieb began to write a series of heartfelt letters that he hoped Sam would read later in life. He planned to cover all the important topics - dealing with your parents, handling bullies, falling in love, coping with death - and what motivated him was the fear that he might not live long enough to see Sam reach adulthood. Daniel Gottlieb is a quadriplegic - the result of a near-fatal automobile accident that occurred two decades ago - and he knows enough not to take anything for granted. Then, when Sam was only 14 months old, he was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disability, a form of autism and suddenly everything changed. Now the grandfather and grandson were bound by something more: a disability - and Daniel Gottlieb's special understanding of what that means became invaluable.

"Revered Wisdom: Christianity" offers an abridged edition of William Paley's seminal work, "A View of the Evidence of Christianity", which was required reading at Cambridge University until the twentieth century. A classic in the world of theological debate, the book argues, in lucid prose, the genuine nature of the intellectual credentials of Christianity. Although today William Paley is a controversial figure, as many of his assertions laid the foundation for the Intelligent Design movement, there is no doubt of the influence and importance of his work.

Explore the wisdom of the ages with this insightful book. Often called the religion of reason, Judaism is abundant with beautiful traditions, ancient customs and scholarly Biblical interpretation. "Revered Wisdom: Judaism" is the perfect introduction to the period that in many ways was the most complex and confusing in Israel's history. The centuries following the Fall of Jerusalem to the death of Herod the Great constitute a reflective and retrospective age, whose writings and teachings reveal the soul of the Jewish faith. The first section contains an expertly revised version of Charles Foster Kent's "The Makers and Teachers of Judaism". Dr. Kent offers a historical interpretation of the critical period in which Judaism was born and attained its full development. The second section features selections from Gustav Karpeles' "Jewish Literature and Other Essays" and provides insightful commentary on subjects such as the Talmud, women in Jewish literature and traditional synagogue music.

This title teaches a new method of avoiding other people's negativity and getting rid of your own. In "The Law of the Garbage Truck", David J. Pollay shows us that by refusing to let others dump their 'garbage' (negativity, anger, and resentment) on us and letting it 'pass by' instead, we become happier and more successful, both personally and professionally. And when we stop dumping garbage on others, we improve our relationships, strengthen our businesses and bring our communities together. This remarkable book shows us how to use this Law and helps us to avoid getting dumped on by rude, thoughtless and angry people, stop reliving the negative and fearing the future and focus on what can be controlled, not the negative things that can't be. It will help increase productivity, respect and cooperation and allow readers to gain the courage to enjoy every day and make a difference. It includes two powerful, insightful quizzes designed to help determine how much garbage you are accepting and how much you are dumping.
