Mother M. Angelica with Christine Allison Through her EWTN television and radio network that now spans the globe, millions of people look to the beloved Mother Angelica every day for inspiration and help with the problems of day to day life. Before she founded EWTN, Mother Angelica was author of extremely popular spiritual booklets of which there are more than 20 million in print.

This wonderful book combines Mother Angelica's timeless wisdom and insights drawn from her deep faith and personal suffering and experiences to offer practical answers to life's dilemmas, large and small. Examples of her topics include:

• What's the secret to true joy

• How to get love by learning how to give love

• How to change the channel on needless guilt

• How freedom can lead us to Heaven or hell

• How to overcome lust

• How to forgive those who hurt us

• Why am I afraid to die

"More and more people have learned-often the hard way-that the promises of this world are empty promises. I don't believe in the promises of this world. I believe in answers. I believe there are answers. That's why I wrote this book. We are called to embrace the answers that even now lie within our grasp."

What is my purpose? How can I be happy? For thousands of years, people have pondered these big questions, often finding the answers elusive. In Map to Happiness, Peter Stimpson, an Episcopal priest and experienced therapist, doesn't claim to have all the answers. Still, he generously shares a wealth of wisdom he has learned by counseling and ministering to people for more than thirty-five years.

Stimpson anchors happiness in a pyramid of principles: insecurity, power, and success. He explains that by understanding everyone is insecure, we can take back our power from others to define our worth and reach for success in lasting values, not things. His message is clear: who you become is more important than what you attain.

Stimpson illustrates the power of his trilogy by answering today's ubiquitous questions related to love of yourself, your spouse, your children, and life's challenges of stress, work, illness, anger, and death. Using both spiritual and psychological perspectives, Stimpson frankly discusses how we stray off the path to happiness, but more important, how we can get back on track.

If you are confused or lost, open this map and begin your journey. You'll find help sifting through confusing issues with easy-to-understand explanations and ready-to-use solutions..

"A clear and comprehensive road map for the novice and professional investor alike. This book is required reading for those who want to take charge of their financial destiny." -John B. Brynjolfsson, Manager, PIMCO Real Return Bond Fund

You've heard the advice of experts year after year to minimize risk by diversifying into bonds. But bonds can be a lucrative, as well as a safe, investment, particularly when the stock market takes a nose-dive. However, no single source of easily accessible information has been available that uniformly describes bonds, compares their relative strengths and drawbacks, and tells how to select and profit from buying them—until now.

Registered investment advisers Hildy and Stan Richelson have written The Money-Making Guide to Bonds to serve as the authoritative, yet user-friendly, resource on the subject. Over 35 different types of bonds and 20 types of bond funds are described, highlighting the specific advantages, risks, and tax implications of each. This book also explains how to allocate bonds within a portfolio and includes specific strategies for reducing taxes and increasing income.

Stock market declines make investors painfully aware that bonds belong in every portfolio, and The Money-Making Guide to Bonds belongs on every investor's bookshelf.

"This excellent resource is designed for investors of all means and sophistication who want to take responsibility for their own financial lives. It’s one of the best books on bonds I’ve seen." -George D. Kinder, Author, The Seven Stages of Money Maturity.
