The Truth About Psychics: What's Real, What's Not, and How to Tell the Difference
by Sylvia Browne Lindsay HarrisonHOW DO PSYCHIC ABILITIES WORK . . . AND HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THEY'RE REAL? Celebrity psychic and #1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne takes a fascinating look into the history of psychics dating from biblical times as she reveals the truth about spiritual phenomena like witches, talking boards, angels, astral projection, and more. Did you know . . . * If someone tells you that an object is "haunted," they are probably fooling you. Objects can retain impressions of prior owners, but they don't contain the spirits of those on the Other Side. * If you get rid of one item in your house, it should be the talking board. Using one is like leaving your front door unlocked, inviting anyone (good or evil) to waltz right in. * Sylvia didn't believe in "living ghosts" until she had a terrifying experience that changed her mind. The phenomenon called a doppelgänger happened to her more than forty years ago. * It's possible to tell if a psychic is giving you a good reading or just following a script. A few key phrases can give away a fake. Through a wealth of personal stories and research into the lives of great psychics, Sylvia offers solid advice on how to put valid procedures to use and ignore the rest. The Secret History of Psychics explains how you can spot a fraud and shows you how to tap into your own legitimate psychic skills!
Truth About Stress
by Angela PatmoreShortlisted for last year's MIND Book of the Year Award, this controversial exposé of a multimillion-pound industry argues that the term 'stress', when applied to human beings, is completely meaningless. We seem to be living through an epidemic of stress. There are 15 million websites dedicated to the subject and Britain alone has over two million accredited therapists, counsellors and healers devoted to protecting us from what they claim is a debilitating disease. But is there really a stress problem? In this brilliant and provocative analysis, Angela Patmore examines the confusion and controversy surrounding the whole concept, raising important questions about the treatments and advice that offer to cure it. She argues that the health angst engendered by all this lucrative 'stress awareness' sends its victims in search of therapy and sedation and fuels an epidemic costing the UK billions. Far from helping people cope with their problems and feelings, she contends, the unregulated industry is harming them. Her conclusions suggest we need to reappraise profoundly the way we understand our own health and well-being.

The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It
by Marcia AngellDuring her two decades at The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell had a front-row seat on the appalling spectacle of the pharmaceutical industry. She watched drug companies stray from their original mission of discovering and manufacturing useful drugs and instead become vast marketing machines with unprecedented control over their own fortunes. She saw them gain nearly limitless influence over medical research, education, and how doctors do their jobs. She sympathized as the American public, particularly the elderly, struggled and increasingly failed to meet spiraling prescription drug prices. Now, in this bold, hard-hitting new book, Dr. Angell exposes the shocking truth of what the pharmaceutical industry has become–and argues for essential, long-overdue change.<P> Currently Americans spend a staggering $200 billion each year on prescription drugs. As Dr. Angell powerfully demonstrates, claims that high drug prices are necessary to fund research and development are unfounded: The truth is that drug companies funnel the bulk of their resources into the marketing of products of dubious benefit. Meanwhile, as profits soar, the companies brazenly use their wealth and power to push their agenda through Congress, the FDA, and academic medical centers.<P> Zeroing in on hugely successful drugs like AZT (the first drug to treat HIV/AIDS), Taxol (the best-selling cancer drug in history), and the blockbuster allergy drug Claritin, Dr. Angell demonstrates exactly how new products are brought to market. Drug companies, she shows, routinely rely on publicly funded institutions for their basic research; they rig clinical trials to make their products look better than they are; and they use their legions of lawyers to stretch out government-granted exclusive marketing rights for years. They also flood the market with copycat drugs that cost a lot more than the drugs they mimic but are no more effective.<P> The American pharmaceutical industry needs to be saved, mainly from itself, and Dr. Angell proposes a program of vital reforms, which includes restoring impartiality to clinical research and severing the ties between drug companies and medical education. Written with fierce passion and substantiated with in-depth research, The Truth About the Drug Companies is a searing indictment of an industry that has spun out of control.

Truth Plus Love Study Guide: The Jesus Way to Influence
by Matt BrownIs it better to prove our point? Or just try to love?Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today’s tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God’s grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God’s plan. As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and love.In this video Bible study, evangelist Matt Brown draws on the example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their love. By developing the fruit of the Spirit, we naturally begin to draw others to the love of Christ within us . . . and to the truth found in God’s Word. Truth plus love is the formula for transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ.The Truth Plus Love Study Guide includes video teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study and reflection materials.Sessions include:Truth Plus JoyTruth Plus PeaceTruth Plus GentlenessTruth Plus FaithfulnessTruth Plus PatienceTruth Plus LoveDesigned for use with the Truth Plus Love Video Study (9780310112358), sold separately.

Truth Triumphant: The Church in the Wilderness - A Christian History from Apostolic Times to Modernity
by Benjamin George WilkinsonTruth Triumphant: The Church in the Wilderness by Benjamin George Wilkinson is a historical and theological exploration of the survival and perseverance of God’s faithful remnant throughout the ages. First published in the 20th century, this work offers a comprehensive narrative of how the true church, despite persecution and trials, preserved its faith and doctrines during centuries of religious upheaval and spiritual darkness.Wilkinson presents the concept of the “church in the wilderness” as a symbol for believers who remained committed to biblical truth in opposition to mainstream religious institutions. From the early Christian era, through the rise of Roman Catholicism, and into the Reformation, Wilkinson traces the history of these often-overlooked communities. He highlights the role of groups such as the Waldensians, Albigensians, and Celtic Christians, who safeguarded biblical principles while resisting doctrinal compromise and external oppression.The book also delves into key theological issues such as Sabbath observance, scriptural authority, and the ongoing battle between truth and error. Wilkinson portrays the survival of these believers as a testimony to divine guidance and the ultimate triumph of truth over deception. He argues that these historical movements laid the foundation for later religious reforms and contributed to the revival of biblical Christianity.Written with passion and conviction, Truth Triumphant emphasizes the importance of faithfulness and endurance in the face of opposition. It offers a thought-provoking perspective on church history, one that underscores the idea that true faith often flourishes in the margins, away from the centers of power.For readers interested in church history, theology, or religious movements, Truth Triumphant provides an inspiring account of spiritual resilience and the triumph of truth through the centuries. Wilkinson’s work invites readers to reflect on the ongoing relevance of these struggles in the modern world, reminding believers of the importance of faith and perseverance.
Truth vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the Difference
by David R. HawkinsThe exploration into the truth of man's activities is unique, intriguing, and provocative. From a new perspective, one quickly grasps the levels of truth expressed by the media, the arts, writers, painters, architecture, movies, TV, politics, and war, as well as academia and the greatest thinkers and philosophies through the ages and up to present-day science and advanced theories of the nature of the universe. Most importantly, the ego and its structure are revealed to facilitate the understanding of religious and spiritual truths expressed by the mystics and enlightened sages over the centuries. It becomes apparent why the human mind, unaided, has been intrinsically incapable of discerning truth from falsehood. A simple test is described that, in seconds, can solve riddles that have been irresolvable by mankind for centuries. This book delivers far more than it promises.
The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!: Thoughts on Life, Love, and Rebellion
by Gloria SteinemA beautifully illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem’s most inspirational and outrageous quotes, with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself For decades—and especially now, in these times of crisis—people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem’s gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinem’s words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Covering topics from relationships (“Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.”) to the patriarchy (“Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.”) and activism (“Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up.”), this is the definitive collection of Steinem’s words on what matters most. Steinem sees quotes as “the poetry of everyday life,” so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama, in this book that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some quotes of your own. In fact, at the end of the book, there’s a special space for readers to add their own quotes and others they’ve found inspiring. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends.Advance praise for The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!“Gloria has a profound knack for expressing ideas in ways that stick with you. When trying to explain something that I can’t seem to wrap my own words around, I very often reach for one of Gloria’s quotes. This beautiful book of her words will no doubt make one of the most quotable women I know even more eminently quotable.”—Emma Watson “When the path is dark, Gloria’s words light the way forward. I find myself returning again and again to her words for inspiration, comfort, and wisdom. She has a way of saying things you feel you knew but never knew how to articulate. Other times, she expresses ideas you’ve never encountered, but once you’ve heard them, they are impossible to deny. Her words contain the poetic clarity only truth offers.”—Natalie Portman
Truthenomics: The Science of Allowing Abundance Through Honesty
by Gerard Armond PowellWhen millions are struggling to pay bills and student loans, and millions more are displaced from jobs, "truthenomics" offers a dynamic blueprint to change the way we look at, pursue, and accumulate true wealth and authentic happiness.For many years, Gerard Powell was living the "American Dream"—he was a multi-millionaire who had it all. Deep down, he knew something was missing. The more he achieved, the more he fell into depression. Through a personal crisis, struggling with drugs, alcoholism and thoughts of suicide, he began a journey of self-transformation and healing which culminated in the creation of the Rythmia Life Advancement Center which has helped transform the lives of nearly 10,000 people.

The Try: Reclaiming the American Dream
by James P. OwenWhat is it that separates the doers, leaders, and success stories among us from the dreamers, also-rans, and wannabes? To bestselling author James P. Owen, it's all about having The Try-- the quality of giving 110 percent to the task or challenge at hand. In The Try--a dozen true stories of ordinary people who've done extraordinary things across varied fields of endeavor--Owen reveals The Try as a character trait that can be forged in several ways. Some of those profiled are driven by a childhood dream or longheld ambition. Others are fueled by someone else's belief in them, an unwavering belief in themselves, or the urge to pit themselves against daunting odds. Still others find The Try in a life-changing moment when they hit rock bottom or come face-to-face with failure. What all high achievers have in common, Owen believes, is a blend of inner drive, focus, and determination that pushes them to pursue their goals relentlessly, confronting every obstacle, and never, ever giving up. His insightful profiles bring to life new scientific evidence that effort trumps ability. In other words, how much you can achieve depends not on how smart or talented you may be, but instead on the quality of your efforts and how much you try. Owen provides inspiration that will strike a chord with anyone who has a lofty goal, a deep personal ambition, or a major challenge to face. By connecting the dots in this collection of stories, he also delivers practical "how to" advice for those who want to cultivate The Try in themselves, or to encourage someone else on the road to realizing his or her full potential. Owen's conclusion: "If you've got The Try, anything is possible. All it takes...is all you've got."
