People say 'love never dies'… but love might be the death of Seraphina. Seraphina has been alive since the Middle Ages, when her boyfriend, Cyrus, managed to perfect a method of alchemy that lets them swap bodies with any human being. She doesn't want to die, so she finds young people who are on the brink of death, and inhabits their bodies. When we meet Sera, she has landed in the body of a girl named Kailey who was about to die in a car accident. For the first time, Sera falls in love with the life of the person she's inhabiting. Sera also falls for the boy next door, Noah. And soon it's clear the feelings are returned. Unfortunately, she can never kiss Noah, because for her to touch lips with a human would mean the human's death. And she has even more to worry about: Cyrus is chasing her, and if she stays in one place for long, she puts herself -and the people she's grown to care for - in danger.

Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me! and a popular columnist for Runner’s World, shares “commentary and reflection about running with a deeply felt personal story, this book is winning, smart, honest, and affecting. Whether you are a runner or not, it will move you” (Susan Orlean). On the verge of turning forty, Peter Sagal—brainiac Harvard grad, short bald Jew with a disposition towards heft, and a sedentary star of public radio—started running seriously. And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running fourteen marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the United States and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings. In The Incomplete Book of Running, Sagal reflects on the trails, tracks, and routes he’s traveled, from the humorous absurdity of running charity races in his underwear—in St. Louis, in February—or attempting to “quiet his colon” on runs around his neighborhood—to the experience of running as a guide to visually impaired runners, and the triumphant post-bombing running of the Boston Marathon in 2014. With humor and humanity, Sagal also writes about the emotional experience of running, body image, the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the legacy of running as passed down from parent to child, and the odd but extraordinary bonds created between strangers and friends. The result is “a brilliant book about running…What Peter runs toward is strength, understanding, endurance, acceptance, faith, hope, and charity” (P.J. O’Rourke).

From an ancient formula—the secret of the ages—we find the precepts to create an Ideal Life, where all you have ever wanted is brought into material form and physical experience In this exciting book, John Randolph Price brings us the ancient science of Dynamic Alchemy to rapidly accelerate the realization of peace and plenty, and dissolve the false belief that conflict and scarcity could possibly exist in a universe of love and infinite givingness. Rather than changing lead into gold, the step-by-step alchemical process that Price gives us focuses on creating a new world by bringing into visibility the forms and experiences we choose for greater joy and fulfillment in life. Dynamic alchemy calls for us to fully understand cause and effect, mind and manifestation, and energy and matter, and to move from what may be considered passive spirituality to positive assertiveness in our rediscovery of the ideal life. By recognizing the power of the mind and the unity of spirit and matter, dynamic alchemy progresses from spiritual mysticism to Divine Materialism—Creative Principle at work materializing in the world of form, which, Price points out, is “wholly sanctioned by the Great Power ordering all things, and the Great Thought producing all things.” It is a spiritual process for those who are ready to assume responsibility for their lives as active co-creators.
