    This memoir of an adventurous quest for inner peace is complete with explorations of the rational and the mystical, and the many ways of faith.   Revealing an understanding of God that goes beyond the conventional, Rogue Rabbi tells the story of a seeker. After traveling to India and investigating the Christian faith, Jerry Steinberg went to medical school and narrowed his focus to psychotherapy—working with past-life regression, dreams, and psychogenic illness. He also became a rabbi—but never ceases to explore all aspects of faith, taking up a specialization in Kabbalah, a discipline of Jewish mysticism.   As the author seeks the essence of spirituality through the interface between rationalism and mysticism, and between religion and sexuality, the story of this real-life spiritual explorer both inspires and instructs on the paths to peace and acceptance.

    This psychological masterpiece dives into the mind of protagonist Ivan Ilyich as he questions the meaning of life, the significance of death, and his own misguided beliefs and ideas.  Leo Tolstoy describes the mental and emotional journey of Ilyich as he is suddenly confronted with his own mortality and must question his entire way of life.  Ilyich had chosen to ignore his family and the health of his own soul as he attempted to reach new heights in his career and social standing.  As his ideas and opinions come under intense scrutiny, he begins to understand the futility and consequences of his way of life.  In describing the deconstruction of this worldview, Tolstoy reveals the serious dangers of selfish and short-sighted living.  This novella is a celebration of redemption and honest introspection as well as an encouragement to live with eternity in mind.

    As one of the biggest stars in the world, Jackie Chan has wowed audiences with death-defying stunts for decades. But who really is this boyishly handsome, lightning-fast Charlie Chaplin of martial arts moviemaking? Jackie Chan has never told his own story in his own words. In I Am Jackie Chan, he tells the fascinating, harrowing, ultimately triumphant story of his life: How the son of refugees in 1950s Hong Kong became the disciplined disciple of a Chinese Opera Master. How, after years of plunging off skyscrapers and living to tell the tale, a once scared seven-year-old boy broke into the Hollywood big time by breaking almost every bone in his body.
