by Raymond A. Moody Jr.Philosopher, ethicist and psychiatrist: Dr. Moody explores the question: Is there life after bodily death? A convincing study. From the book: --WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DIE? "All pain vanished." "I went through this dark, black vacuum at super speed." "There was a feeling of utter peace and quiet, no fear at all." "I was in a very dark, very deep valley. Later I thought, 'Well, now I know what the Bible means by the valley of the shadow of death because I've been there.'" "After I came back, I cried off and on for about a week because I had to live in this world after seeing that one." "It opened up a whole new world for me . . . I kept thinking, 'There's so much that I've got to find out.'" "I heard a voice telling me what I had to do go back-and I felt no fear."-- Moody presents medical cases along with a look at religious teachings and their afterlife possibilities. This file should make a fine embossed braille copy.

Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo
by Zlata Filipovic Christina Pribichevich-ZoricThis journal entry represents Zlata's insightful writing and the translators skill: "Thursday, October 14, 1993 Dear Mimmy, Those lunatics up in the hills must have read what I wrote about the shooting yesterday. They want to show me that they're still around. They went SHOOTING today. Shells fell around the market-place, and we don't know how Grandma and Grand-dad are. Poor things. These lunatics haven't just stolen from us our childhood, they've stolen from my grandparents and other old people a peaceful old age. They're not letting them live out the rest of their lives in peace. They had to ruin that too. I didn't have classes or music school today. They sent us home, so I'll spend the whole day at home reading, playing the piano, spending some time with Nejra and Haris. I was supposed to go to Mirna's today, but they spoiled that for me. I didn't tell you, Mimmy, that you're about to go out into the world. You're going to be published abroad. I allowed it, so you could tell the world what I wrote to you. I wrote to you about the war, about myself and Sarajevo in the war, and the world wants to know about it. I wrote what I felt, saw and heard, and now people outside of Sarajevo are going to know it. Have a good journey into the world. Your Zlata" A fine book for a book report. Teens sensitive to cruelty will want to share this diary with parents. This was a horrific piece of history.
