Looking Back-Looking Forward:

Poetry written by a father and husband dedicated to his murdered son and his wife, a victim of Pancreatic Cancer

Grief carves the soul, but love gives it voice.

In Looking Back–Looking Forward, Ralph L. Myers opens a deeply personal window into the soul’s endurance through unimaginable grief. Through a touching collection of poetry, Myers invites readers to join him in honoring the two greatest loves of his life—his wife Francine, taken by pancreatic cancer, and his son Tom, whose life was tragically cut short by violence.

This book is more than a poetic tribute; it is a spiritual reflection born out of heartbreak, resilience, and unwavering faith. Through verses rooted in real-life sorrow and Christian hope, Myers offers a gentle hand to others walking through loss. His writing becomes a sanctuary—each poem a quiet place to sit with grief, to acknowledge pain, and ultimately to find solace in the presence of God.

What makes this collection especially profound is its honesty. Myers doesn’t shy away from the raw ache of loss, but rather walks through it with dignity and reverence. At the same time, his reflections are infused with spiritual depth, demonstrating how one can live forward with purpose even while looking back with love. The poems draw strength from Christian principles of compassion, endurance, and the healing power of memory.

This book belongs on the shelf of anyone who has loved deeply and lost dearly. It speaks not only to the wounds of grief, but also to the quiet courage required to carry on. For those seeking peace in their own storm, Looking Back–Looking Forward offers comfort, faith, and the gentle reminder that love never dies.

What story does your grief want to tell—and how will you let God help you carry it?

Ancient Sounds for a New Age: An Introduction to Himalayan Sacred Sound Instruments

  

Ancient Sounds for a New Age:

An Introduction to Himalayan Sacred Sound Instruments

Ancient Sounds for a New Age is an introduction to and overview of sound healing with Himalayan instruments. It offers a clear idea of what is needed to learn and practice for anyone who decides to enter the field, and serves as an instructional tool to that end. Diáne has combined techniques from other fields that have proven very effective for her clients and describe these in the book. As an extra bonus, exclusive access to a digital one-hour instructional video is included to demonstrate Diáne’s methods as a practitioner. The book is organized in five parts. The first, Part I: Fundamentals of Sound Healing, offers an orientation to the work. Part II: The Sacred Sound Family, teaches about the sound healing instruments—the tingshas, the ganta and dorje, and the Himalayan bowls—and the author takes you through some basic configurations for working with multiple instruments. Part III: Sound Healing and the Chakras, offers a breakdown of techniques and principles for working with the body’s main energy centers, the chakras. Part IV: Working with Challenging Emotions, offers brief orientations to working with anxiety and depression, dedicating one chapter to each. The last main section of the book, Part V: Enhancing Your Practice, concerns ways to include other modalities in a sound healing session, and the author shares some that have worked well in her own practice. Diane explores colors and toning, power language, and visualization, reminding the reader, “In learning to practice sound healing, we are aspiring to become more than technicians who can play the instruments—we are developing into healers.” Additionally, several Appendices include: thumbnail profiles of some sound healing pioneers, an interesting case study, some client testimonials, and further resources, including information about Diane’s school and some of the classes and products offered. “Diáne Mandle is the preeminent voice in the field of Tibetan bowl sound healing. Her book, Ancient Sounds for the New Age, offers a platform of deep understanding on which a practical skill set can be easily built upon. This is what the emerging field of sound healing has been waiting for. There is no doubt that it will soon be recognized as the go-to resource for serious vibrational practitioners.”—Richard Rudis (Karma Sonam Dorje)

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night: 30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

 

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night:

30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

Even in the midnight hour, His promises still stand. Will you dare to believe He has not forgotten you? Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night is a 30-day spiritual invitation to those navigating doubt, disappointment, or silence from God. This is not a book of trite reassurance – It is a deeply honest journey into Scripture, prayer, and the possibility that the Father’s hand has been guiding you all along. Written by A. L. Schilling – a seasoned diplomat who spent most of his life far from faith – this book speaks not from theory but from a hard-won testimony. Despite years of skepticism, personal loss, and spiritual resistance, grace found him. Now, Schilling offers readers the same space he was given: 30 days to test and see if the Word is true. Each day presents a brief meditation grounded in Scripture, a heartfelt prayer, and a quiet challenge to take one more step forward. From Psalm 27 to Mark 10, from the wilderness journey of Exodus to the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel, these pages invite readers to encounter God – not through blind belief, but through scriptural engagement and honest conversation. If you have felt forgotten, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin, this book will meet you where you are. You don’t need to fix yourself before coming. “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22–23 Come walk these 30 days. The dawn is already breaking.

I The Black Poet Comes

 

I The Black Poet Comes

By James M. Moten

I, the Black Poet, come—not with vengeance, but with vision.

In I, The Black Poet Comes, James M. Moten offers a stirring, unflinching collection of poems drawn from a lifetime of trials, triumphs, and spiritual truth. These verses are not mere reflections—they are declarations. The voice that rises from these pages is both deeply personal and undeniably universal, capturing the soul of a man who has walked through fire and still dares to speak light into the world.

“I bleed words that were never taught in schools / that were lost in chains and cotton fields.”

From poems that explore loneliness, sacrifice, and the generational scars of racial injustice, to those that exalt love, womanhood, and faith, Moten’s words hit like a steady drumbeat—rhythmic, raw, and rooted in something sacred. He writes with the conviction of a man who has lived through war (literally and metaphorically) and emerged with poetry in his hands.

A bold, unapologetic symphony of life, pain, love, and Black identity, delivered through verse that stirs the soul and commands remembrance. - MainSpring Books

As the collection unfolds, readers journey with Moten through stories shaped by family, service, and a relentless pursuit of dignity. His poetry elevates the everyday into the eternal, transforming hardship into testimony and silence into song. There’s humor here too—unexpected and human—and a deep spiritual undercurrent that threads grace through every grief-stricken line.

“If I could tell my younger self one thing—it would be: write anyway. Sing anyway. Love anyway.”

I, The Black Poet Comes is not just a poetry book—it is an offering. To those who know the weight of struggle, the ache of erasure, and the joy of being seen—it is a mirror and a beacon. Moten’s verses remind us that to speak one’s truth is a revolutionary act. And to put it in print, a legacy.

Why Every Couple Needs Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing the Sacred Into Your Relationship

Download Your Copy FREE

Is your relationship craving something deeper—something more magical, more meaningful, and yes, more passionate? Then it’s time to dive into a cosmic love story of your own with Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing the Sacred Into Your Relationship by Rob Alex, Ph.D.

And guess what? From August 7–11, 2025, you can download this transformative book for FREE on Kindle. That’s right. Free. Zero dollars. All love. No excuses.

So, what is Sensual Metaphysics?

It’s not just about incense and chanting under a full moon (though that can be fun). This book brings a fresh, practical, and deeply intimate approach to relationships by blending metaphysical wisdom with the art of sacred sensuality. Think of it as a spiritual spa day for your relationship—but one that lasts a lifetime.

Dr. Rob Alex takes you and your partner on a journey that includes:

• Mindful communication (so no more arguing about whose turn it is to do the dishes—unless you’re into that sort of thing),

• Sacred touch (move over, Netflix and chill—this is next-level connection),

• Moon rituals (harness the power of lunar energy together—yes, moonlight is romantic and energetically powerful),

• Energy alignment (learn to vibe on the same wavelength—literally).

Why Every Couple Should Grab This Book (Especially While It’s Free!)

Whether you’re newly smitten or decades deep into your love story, this book offers:

• Real tools for enhancing emotional intimacy and spiritual alignment.

• Easy practices that turn ordinary moments into sacred rituals (Sunday brunch just became a spiritual awakening).

• Empowering insights that help you support each other’s growth without losing yourselves.

• Passion reignited—because metaphysics doesn’t mean boring. In fact, it gets very steamy.

Imagine starting each day not with a groggy “morning, babe,” but with an intention-setting ritual that tunes your hearts to the same frequency. Imagine resolving conflict through energy balancing instead of sarcasm and slammed doors. Imagine making love as a conscious, sacred act instead of a checkbox on your relationship to-do list.

Now stop imagining. Sensual Metaphysics shows you how.

What Makes This Book So Special?

Rob Alex, Ph.D., brings years of wisdom in both metaphysical practices and relationship coaching to the table. He doesn’t just toss around spiritual buzzwords—he makes them relevant, relatable, and seriously transformative. Each chapter is a warm invitation to rediscover each other, not just physically, but soulfully.

You’ll walk away feeling:

• More connected to each other,

• More in tune with your shared life path,

• And more empowered to turn your love into a force of sacred creation.
