...December, 2002

I can't wait to set up our Christmas tree. You might set up the tree right after Thanksgiving, as I do, or wait until just before Christmas. The outdoor lights were put up a couple of weeks ago for fear the weather would turn cold. We never know in Oklahoma. For many, Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same without leaving out cookies and milk for Santa. However, I hear cheese can get great results. What ever you choose to do to make this time of year memorable, look at the season through the eyes of a child. Believe that every twinkling light and each ornament tells a story and that snowmen might magically come to life. The rituals we share are what make the holidays so special. It's time spent with those we love that counts.

Marianne Williamson's latest book is in stock. We were one of the first bookstores in Tulsa to have it. It was ordered a month before the release date. She has announced that she will be leaving the Unity church in Warren, MI the first of the year to pursue a career in broadcasting. Hm.

The former directors of Silent Unity, Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla have a new book. Written for those who feel the need to TURN-AROUND their lives, the authors of THE QUEST have taken another step in devoting their lives to the study and teaching of holistic healing.

ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS, by James Dillet Freeman, is a family Christmas book. Now in it fourth printing, it has almost become a classic in Unity homes. It probably will not be printed again, so this is perhaps the last Christmas it will be available.

A very happy holiday season to each and every one of you and to your families, too. May we all be blessed with peace and well-being and good health.

This timeless keepsake includes Christmas themes about angels, animals, people, the Holy Family, and more. This finely bound collection will make you cry and laugh along with Jim Freeman, whose entire intention in writing has been to make you do so. And he succeeds admirably. "Angel With a Broken Wing" is a story of a small boy's brush with Mort, the angel of death. The boy's love saves him from the inevitable, and, in a wonderfully warm fashion, shows the child as a possible savior of humankind.

Nine other heartwarming tales, with beautifull four-color illustrations by Evan Lattimer, will enthrall you and your loved ones this Christmas.

If you buy no other book this season, make sure that you get a copy of ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS.

Nobody can wave a magic wand but if your life is in crisis, help at last is in your hands. What ever the situation you face, illness, addiction, financial ruin, unhappy relationship, TURN-AROUND will be a close companion to take you through the practical steps that will lead to your overcoming your trauma and transforming your life.

Written from a psychologically sound and spiritually centered perspective, this is not a religious tract but rather a spirited and earnest book written with compassion as well as humor. Direct and to the point, it delivers the sort of straightforward help for which you have been starved. They guarantee genuine and even dramatic results.

What do your spiritual convictions have to do with traffic jams, job anxiety, reading the newspaper, or arguing with your spouse? Everything, according to Marianne Williamson. It is the way we live in our everyday world that determines the shape of who we are. So Buddhist or Muslim, Christian or Jew, it is the moments when our daughter doesn't make the basketball team, or our best friend lands our dream job, or our business instinct tells us to bury the guy across the boardroom table, that test and build our living faith. In these pages, Williamson teaches us to ride the currents of our everyday ups-and- downs, and she allows us how to find, in each of those moments, an opening to the soul. She guides us back to our spiritual source, exploring the ways in which we can nurture a thriving soul in a harsh world. The large and small difficulties of our days challenge us to open our hearts and minds. And with an attitude of hope, a call to forgive, a celebration of miracles, Williamson helps us find our sacred footing on ordinary ground. For no matter where we are or what we are doing, there is the opportunity to be happy. We are entitled to the pleasures of everyday grace.
