What is more important than knowing that we are ALL infinite spiritual beings on a human journey to this earthly classroom, rather than being sinful humans on a journey in search of redemption and salvation? Understanding this marked distinction permits us to learn who we truly are at our core, to uncover the nature of our Sacred Journey, and to know without doubt how completely and equally Loved we all are. These tenets are at the heart of this inspiring true story about Jennie, a housewife and mother from the Philadelphia area, who was shaped as a mystical channel by The Great Potter, He Who shapes us all. Spanning almost a half-century, beginning on November 11, 1966, over 1,000 Messages and Lessons were channeled through Jen from Angels, Masters, Lords, and other Sublime sources. In addition, her unique visions and dreams, healings, and psychic and past life readings, were other special Gifts bestowed upon her. This book bears testimony to Jens uncommon life and works, as attested to by the author, who is Jens nephew, godson, and soulmate. Share in Jens amazing spiritual journey, molded as it was by the hands of The Great Potter. More importantly, learn how YOU, as a Seeker, are also being shaped, along the path of your personal Sacred Journey

' People of the Book is set in the Thirty Years' War, which began and still shapes our present system of world order. David Stacton's incomparable prose reveals how the treatises of scholars and the tactics of commanders so rarely comprehend the vagaries of the human condition. A book to put on the shelf with Thucydides' Peloponnesian War and Tolstoy's War and Peace.' Professor Charles Hill (author of Grand Strategies: Literature, Statecraft, and World Order) 'A troubling and fantastic book... Stacton sets up a duel plot. One follows the fortunes of the Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus, the other recounts the fate of an orphaned boy and his little sister who try to make their way across Germany from their ruined home to refuge with an imagined uncle.' Life '[An] extraordinary evocation of the whole spiritual climate of the time; the very vapours of Teutonic mists seem to rise from its pages.' Frederic Raphael, Sunday Times

Potters and Patrons in Edo Period Japan: Takatori Ware and the Kuroda Domain traces the development of one of Japan's best-documented ceramic types, from its beginnings around 1600 until the abolition of the domain system in 1871. Using historical records, archaeological material from early kilns and consumer sites, and the results of comparative chemical analysis, this study explores the operation of Takatori as the official ceramic workshop of the Kuroda, lords of one of the largest domains in Japan. Spanning cultural, aesthetic, economic and practical aspects, this book presents Takatori ware as an ideal archetype with which to compare developments in elite ceramics in other parts of Japan throughout the Edo period. In addition to its scholarly examination of the operation of a domain-sponsored ceramics workshop over more than 250 years, the book includes illustrations of examples from each of the seven Takatori workshop locations, including beautiful pieces that have never before appeared in print.
