“You need to get lost to find your way.”
 
The protagonist of this true story is potentially every reader. The twists, surprises and thrills it holds are, on a micro scale, the definition of human life. And if the recording of this personal story aspires to achieve anything, it is precisely to inspire in its readers the courage to live their lives as their heart and their calculus dictates.
 
September 1973.

After all, how many miles of road separate apparent success from true happiness?If the story of the monk turned CEO communicated the principles of Athonian Management to the business and wider readership, the book From Manhattan to Mount Ath os illuminates the path of inner vision (or liberation) as the only way to personal happiness.

The Letter in the Bible - What...

Tessa Marie Vaughn

When Hannah Briggs returns home for her father’s funeral, she isn’t prepared to unearth a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. Hidden within the pages of his worn Bible is a letter addressed to a woman named Eleanor, a name she’s never heard but somehow feels strangely connected to.
 
As she digs deeper into her father’s past, Hannah turns to Joshua, her childhood friend and a quiet bookbinder with his own unspoken feelings. Together, they piece together a love story lost to silence, regret, and time—one that forces Hannah to confront the fragile lines between memory and truth, faith and forgiveness.
 
But as long-buried emotions begin to rise and the bond between her and Joshua deepens, Hannah must decide if she's ready to open her heart—not only to her family's complicated legacy, but to a second chance she never saw coming.
 
Can love bloom in the aftermath of grief and uncertainty? Or will the truth she uncovers leave her even more lost than before?
