Spirituality: A Life Force details the author's life-long journey from the material world of ego to the world of the spiritual. It details her process of transformation showing how a new awareness of herself as a child of God produced profound changes in her life. There were spiritual teachers along the way who had similar, pronounced characteristics. Relationships began to change from "unholy relationships", dominated by self-interest and ego, to "holy relationships" with distinctly different purposes and functions. Then there came spiritual healing as spiritual solutions were sought. Spirituality; A Life Force opens up the possibility of a new view of life--a new view of self--living not as a child of this world but, with the life force of spirituality, living as a child of God.

The ABC's of Grief: A Handbook for Survivors meets bereaved persons wherever they might be in the grieving process, providing snatches of meaning, hope, empathy, and understanding. The handbook is a product of the author's own passage and includes materials collected over a three-year period of the grieving process. Confronting her loss, Christine Adams found that it was all right to grieve at her own pace; one day at a time, one thought, word, and letter at a time, she grew and healed. The handbook's alphabetical format allows readers, or group leaders to focus on any aspect of grief that suite them. If a reader becomes absorbed in "anger" or "anxiety," he or she can go back to reread those parts of the handbook and with each visit will find some new realization and meaning. Every section contains appropriate quotations, stories, and poems, written by survivors who found solace in writing. Intended Audience: Counselors, therapists, social workers, and clergy will find ABC's of Grief of tremendous value to their clients. In addition, every hospice would benefit by having a copy of the handbook in their library.
