An inspiring autobiography about Samia Zumout’s own life journey towards God and His immense Healing Love. Samia courageously and intimately shares her heart’s journey as she recounts her life story, hurts, inner heart’s wounds, failures, struggles, moments of despair and the lies that she believed about herself that prevented her from experiencing God's love for her in fullness. She shares how the Lord Jesus freed her from these lies and healed her heart’s wounds through His infinite Love. Amid her quest for God, she finds someone she never expected to find: herself. Our Lord demonstrated to Samia that everything in her life - good and bad – has its purpose. Samia's story will challenge you to look deeply into your own heart and inspire you to find answers to your own life's hurts and challenges through reading about hers and the victory that our Lord gives us as He heals our wounds and draws us into His love for us! In June 2006, Samia felt a strong desire in her heart to write this autobiographical book, The Bridge between the East and West: A Journey to Truth through His Love. While in deep prayer, the Lord Jesus confirmed to Samia that writing this book was an important part of her life’s mission as it would bring people closer to His heart as many would experience His healing love while reading about her life’s journey. The Lord Jesus instructed Samia that it would only take her 30 days to write the book if she lived a sacramental life centered on the Eucharist, deep prayer and fasting throughout that period. Samia began writing the book on July 17, 2007 and the book was completed on August 15, 2007, exactly 30 days later.

In 2006, Samia Zumout felt called by God to leave a successful profession as an attorney and embark on a lifelong journey as a missionary. Since then, she has evangelized God's healing love through her inner-healing ministry, praying at public events and individually for the healing of emotional childhood wounds. In 2011, Samia's deep faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ was put to the ultimate test when she was diagnosed with horrific diseases that have aggressively attacked her spinal cord: primary progressive multiple sclerosis (M.S.), cervical stenosis, and myelopathy. Over a short span of time, she became severely disabled—unable to walk, write, or take care of her most basic needs—and suffered constant debilitating pain and overall weakness. Despite her severe disability, Samia neither lost her joy for life nor her inner-peace; her relentless faith persevered and grew stronger. She has selflessly continued her mission helping and ministering to others through her radio program and social media. Samia's story inspires others to look at the sufferings and challenges of their own life through spiritual eyes, shedding light on what's important, and giving purpose and value to what otherwise may seem meaningless in our physical world.

RISING MAGNIFICENTLY in the wilderness of Western Tibet, Mount Kailash is one of three sacred mountains in Tibet. Its shape is unmistakable: a symmetrical cone marked with striations and graced with perpetual snows. Four rivers emanate from it, nourishing the entire region. Mount Kailash is the center of the spiritual universe. It is sacred to four religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Bön, and Jainism. For Hindus, it is the home of Shiva. All of these statements are true of this magnificent mountain, but the truest is what my teacher said to me before I left to do prostrations around Mt. Kailash: “The center of the spiritual universe already exists in your human heart. Meet your mirror.”

This book considers the novels and short stories of Raja Rao in terms of the diasporic life of the author. Among the earliest of the 'second wave' Indian diaspora in the west, Raja Rao employs this unique perspective in most of his works. This is the hallmark of his writing. However, we also discuss the varied human and spiritual aspects of his work as reflecting his own life. His experiences as an Indian in a western world. But Raja Rao's writing also counts as postcolonial and postmodern far ahead of any others here or there.

The Conservative Turn tells the story of postwar America's political evolution through two fascinating figures: Lionel Trilling and Whittaker Chambers, who went on to intellectual prominence, sharing the questions, crises, and challenges of their generation. Kimmage argues that the divergent careers of these two men exemplify important developments in postwar American politics: the emergence of modern conservatism and the rise of moderate liberalism.
