  A beautiful final note from the pioneering author of the classic Notes to Myself 
   
   
   
  Gently Down This Dream is a book for those who are tired of striving and suffering and want to awaken to the peace and love that are within us all. When bestselling author Hugh Prather completed this book in 2010, he gave it to his wife and writing partner, Gayle, to shape and edit. He died the next day. The book's essays, poems, and aphorisms—bravely self-revelatory, relentlessly compassionate, and born out of a lifetime of contemplative practice and counseling work—make for a lovely, and loving, PS to his millions of fans and a winning introduction to his beautiful mind for new fans to come. They present the self-improvement practices that Hugh and Gayle learned in their long life together and later taught. The Prathers' authentic humor, comfort, and spiritual insights are perfect for the divisive times we live in, offering a way through what can often seem the prison of the self, a reliable means for navigating a world that sometimes feels out of control, and a path to love.

  Fans of Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died will root for Bridey Thelen-Heidel as she struggles to unshackle herself from her mother’s chaos in this triumphant debut memoir. 
  Bridey is tethered to her mom’s addiction to dangerous men who park their Harley-Davidsons in the house and kick holes in all their doors. Raised to be her mother’s keeper, rescuer, and punching bag, Bridey gets used to stuffing her life into black trash bags, hauling them between Alaska and California, and changing schools every time her mom moves in a new monster—or runs away from one. Desperately seeking the normal life she’s observed in sitcoms and her friends’ families, Bridey earns her way into a fancy, private college, where she tries to forget who she is—until her mom calls with a threat that drops Bridey to her knees. Watching doctors and police interrogate her mother at the hospital, Bridey realizes her mom has become a monster herself . . . and she doesn’t want to be saved. 
  But Bridey does. 
  Bright Eyes is about the indomitable spirit of a young girl forced to be brave, required to be resilient, and conditioned to be optimistic, and how she ultimately uses the same traits that helped her to survive her mother’s chaos to create her own happily-ever-after.

More than an intellectual pursuit, Walking the Theological Life explores the lives of key biblical characters pursuing their own theological paths, helping us learn and grow in our own understanding of how to do theology in a virtuous fashion.

  Jeffrey Joseph Juliana, nee Geoffrey Giuliano, nee Jaganntha Dasa, is a man of many faces and adventures. A plumber's son from Western, New York now in his mid-sixties, this transient soul has experienced a wide swath of poverty, riches, fame, anonymity, hedonism, and piety. At the same time 50% monk and 50% monkey, Giuliano is best known as the author of a shelfful of books on the Beatles and other rock icons, a well-known film actor, world traveler, vegetarian activist, and very public devotee of Sri Krishna. 
   
  Here is his rags to riches then back to rags story as told by himself, in an honest, enlightening, often shocking, sometimes humorous look back on the first nineteen years of his often unlikely life and times. This first installment of his autobiography focuses on the years 1953 to 1971 and his trek from a small-town kid, to an American 1960s hippie, to enthusiastic young seeker of Lord Krishna in the early years of the Hare Krishna Movement. 
   
  While this is uniquely Geoffrey's story it is also a similar tale to many who lived through the same era. If the child is the father of the man then this collection of cutting memories explains a great deal about the bold, creative character Giuliano later became

  Women of Ancient Egypt -...

  The role of women in Ancient Egyptian society was multifaceted, reflecting the complex and dynamic culture of this ancient civilization. Women in Egypt held a relatively high status compared to their counterparts in many other ancient cultures. They were considered equal to men in certain aspects, such as the ability to own property, initiate divorce, and partake in religious rituals. Women were also key figures in the household, and their roles in family and social structures were crucial for the stability and prosperity of Egyptian society. 
  One of the most notable aspects of the role of women in Ancient Egypt was their legal rights. Egyptian women had the legal ability to own land, businesses, and wealth, which provided them with a level of autonomy not commonly found in other ancient societies. This was particularly significant in a culture where family wealth and land were vital to survival and success. In cases of divorce or widowhood, women could retain ownership of their property, and were often entitled to a share of the family’s wealth. Women could also inherit property from their parents, and daughters were not excluded from inheritance as they often were in other cultures. 
  In the social realm, women had significant responsibilities within the family unit. They were primarily responsible for managing household duties, including the care of children, food preparation, and the overall maintenance of the home. These tasks, while often perceived as domestic, were essential to the functioning of society. Women also played important roles as mothers and caregivers, which was highly valued in Egyptian culture. The ideal woman in Egypt was often depicted as a loving and devoted mother, and this image was reflected in religious texts, art, and literature.
