Memoirs of a Polar BearThe Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as "Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness" Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union

The Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as "Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness"--Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In chapter two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son--the last of their line--is Knut, born in chapter three in a Leipzig zoo but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away...

Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and "the intimacy of being alone with my pen."

I own the Canadian copy:
Format: Kindle
This is a captivating and thought-provoking book that dares to explore the uncharted spiritual terrain of the afterlife. Authored with a profound sense of reverence, this book serves as a unique bridge between the iconic voice of John Lennon and the modern reader, yearning for deeper insights into love, life, and the essence of humanity. The narrative is brilliantly crafted, seamlessly blending the ethereal with the tangible. The idea of John Lennon sharing his reflections from Heaven is not just compelling but also deeply moving. The authors have managed to channel Lennon’s timeless philosophy of love, peace, and unity in a way that feels authentic and true to his spirit. What makes this book truly stand out is its ability to inspire readers to reevaluate their own lives. Lennon’s "heavenly" wisdom challenges us to let go of fear, embrace forgiveness, and lead lives that resonate with harmony and love. It’s a powerful reminder of Lennon’s enduring message and the impact it continues to have on our world. For fans of John Lennon and the Beatles, as well as those curious about the mysteries of life beyond, this book is a treasure trove. It’s not just a read; it’s an experience—a spiritual odyssey that lingers long after the final page is turned. Whether you're a die-hard Lennon enthusiast or someone simply seeking inspiration, All You Need is Love offers a glimpse into the eternal legacy of one of the greatest icons of our time.

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts - A Useful and Effective Resource for Pre-Marriage Counseling
I used this curriculum kit and video series in pre-marriage counseling. I found it helped me to have an effective structure and a useful tool to use as a major part of my counseling, and believe it helped stimulate thought and discussion of help to the couple as they made this investment in the success of their upcoming marriage. I can recommend this curriculum kit highly whenever a couple is entering into pre-marriage counseling as an investment in their future.

Great for about to be and already 'marrieds'
Format: Library Binding
Five-star material. I have used these materials in counseling couples about to be married and find it the best tool I have ever used. I felt it sound enough that my wife & I took time away and went through materials and found it to be very helpful. I recommend it not only for those about to be married but those who have been married for any amount of time.
