New Book Release: Real Visitors

Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger


Are we alone or are there intelligent life-forms out there? Or are they already amongst us? Can we even know the Truth? Exploring the myths, stories, history, and facts of documented encounters, mysterious experiences, and unexplained visitors, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger examines the “other” forms, entities and beings inhabiting our universe.

Building on their decades of research into the paranormal, mystical, and supernatural, the Steigers analyze the influences and theories behind these mysterious “visitors,” whether they appear as aliens, ghosts, spirits, angels, demons, monsters, or some other form. The visitors have been called metaterrestrial, extradimensional, interdimensional, ultraterrestrial, and supraphysical intelligences, but regardless of the label, these inscrutable existences have left their mark on the people they've met—and a host of weird, wondrous, and horrifying stories. There are more than 200 thought-provoking stories that make you wonder about the Truth, including stories on UFOs, angels, spirits, ghosts, out-of-body experiences, time-travel, strange energies, dreams, meditation, unidentified terrestrial life forms, and more.

Tracing the perplexing and lasting effects of these otherworldly beings, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions exposes their power and reach throughout centuries of legends, myths, and today's world.

New Book Release: Lessons in Tanya

Lessons in Tanya by R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi

A well-lit and accessible gateway to Tanya, and the most authoritative guide to its riches.
A linear exposition and commentary on Tanya based on a popular weekly radio series in Yiddish. Rabbi Wineberg`s commentary draws upon the teachings he received from Chasidic scholars at the renowned academies of Lubavitch in Europe and the writings of seven generations of Chabad Rebbes. Each of the lectures was examined and amended by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn, so that much of the material includes the Rebbe`s insights and explanatory comments.
Lessons in Tanya leads the reader through every paragraph and page, illuminating the mystical, often elusive, Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Scriptural verses and concepts. It fills many gaps in what the terse Tanya text assumes to be the reader`s background knowledge.

New Book Release: Jamilah Rising

Jamilah Rising by Anastasia Rabiyah

She wanted what she had lost and what she now had—and it was impossible to have both.

Life has changed for Jamilah. She’s of an age to be married off, and she knows her father will choose the most profitable match to advance his status. Although her heart chooses otherwise, there is no escape from the binding ties of her family and her father’s greed for control.

When Jamilah’s brother invites Vonhadi to visit their family's estate, he jumps at the chance to see her again. Their first kiss seals their fate, leading to secret meetings and the glimmering hope of a future together. But he is a poor man living the modest life of a priest in the temple, the only thing he has to offer, his gift of elemental magic.

From the moment Droma’s future bride pulls the veil from her face, revealing the abuse she has suffered, he falls in love with Jamilah. He vows to protect her, but devoting himself to her happiness could mean letting her go free, something he may not have the strength to do.
