Akashic Records: Case Studies of Past Lives
Lois J. Wetzel - 2011
Between the pages of this book are scores of riveting tales from individuals' past lives collected by author Lois Wetzel, MFA. Lois has been doing past life readings from the Akashic Records for over twenty years. Detailed descriptions of civilizations and their artifacts prior to recorded history are plentiful, including several in which the souls originally came to Earth from other star systems. There are cases of lives where lessons were not learned, recounted so the individual can learn those lessons and thereby heal and release painful recurring patterns in their lives. Also included are past lives in which the client learns of their past successes, and of forgotten skills and talents which they could tap into in this lifetime if they so choose. Many readers have reported that just reading about the past lives of Lois' clients have had a healing effect upon them as well." Lois J Wetzel, MFA
The Unwritten Rules of Baseball: The Etiquette, Conventional Wisdom, and Axiomatic Codes of Our National Pastime

They represent a set of time-honored customs, rituals, and good manners that show a respect for the game, one's teammates, and one's opponents. Sometimes they contradict the official rulebook.

Becoming Amish: A family's search for faith, community and purpose
Jeff Smith - 2016
No more architectural or medical careers. Instead, the Mosers drew close with their children, built pallets for money, wore homemade clothes, and bonded with people of their Amish faith and community. Here, in Becoming Amish, they offer a modern couple's honest perspective on that separate and seemingly cloistered world, a perspective that is uniquely insider and outsider at the same time.The Mosers' journey is rich and fascinating all on its own as we learn about the inner workings of the Amish faith, ways and culture—what their church services are like, how their businesses succeed at such a high rate, how they are so remarkably connected on a human scale (without Facebook!), how they balance technology in their lives, and more.But though the couple's decision can seem extreme, it can also serve as a mirror that helps us reflect upon our own choices, our own beliefs and values. If we were to be as intentional about our lives, how would we realign our choices big and small to achieve a fulfilling life?Becoming Amish rounds out the Mosers' tale with interviews, vignettes, and information that adds context, perspective and insight into the Amish community. The reader learns of a startlingly violent book—published in 1660—that is central to this pacifist people’s belief and is in nearly every Amish home. The reader visits a “plain” community in the hills of Kentucky—a community that lives even more simply than most Amish—to discuss “the whys” of a low-technology life and faith. The reader contemplates an interview with the Lutheran minister who helped lead the Supreme Court case back in 1972 that allowed the Amish to pull their children from public school after 8th grade—what compelled him to do that? becomingamish@gmail.com.
