BRINKLEY, DANNION;PERRY, PAUL;HARPER COLLINS

At Peace in the Light: The Further Adventures of a Reluctant Psychic Who Reveals the Secret of Your Spiritual Powers

Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Harpercollins. 1995. (ISBN: 0060176741). Hb, 8vo. pp. 208, "In At Peace in the Light, Dannion Brinkley continues the spiritual exploration of his life and death that began in his phenomenal bestseller, Saved by the Light. Having had two near-death experiences, one of which lasted twenty-eight minutes, Brinkley has been left with an extraordinary sense of perception. With absolute candor, he describes his struggle to become accustomed to his disorienting physic ability -- he reveals his initial uses, both positive negative, of his power and his gradual understanding of how to accomplish his mission. While making a call on an ailing friend of his father's, Brinkley realized that he had found a way of life by helping people face the transition of death. He came to understand that his mission is to offer great comfort to the dying: In hospice work, he could help people lose their fear of death by explaining the gentle way in which we leave this world. Here Brinkley shares heartwarming stories of his ability to comfort the dying as well as those who love them. He demonstrates that the dying often have enhanced psychic ability and a clarity of vision that can make death more graceful for everyone involved. By so movingly describing his work, he gives us a different, kinder, more peaceful view of dying well and the promise of what lies beyond. Brinkley will teach you to use his experience of panoramic life review as a guide to creating your own, instruct you on awakening and enhancing your own skills of perception and provide you with the language to deal with your own and your loved ones' mortality. His conclusions and techniques illustrate how, by focusing on our own purpose, involving ourselves in service to others, creating our own life reviews and heightening our powers of perception, we can put richness back in our lives. For the hundreds of thousands who found comfort and understanding in Saved by the Light and for those facing mortality or the loss of a loved one, Dannion Brinkley's new message offers inspiration, guidance and the opportunity for spiritual growth and renewal.".

Very Good/Very Good. 500 g; XIV, 290 pages, + 16 pages of black-and-white reproductions of art, photographs, and articles, with colour illustrated dust jacket. The Paul Collins of this book should not be confused with the science-fiction writer of the same name who is Australian-based. "Collins's love for what he calls the "forgotten ephemera of genius" gives his portraits of these figures and the other nine men and women in Benvard's Folly sympathetic depth and poignant relevance. Their effect is not to make us sneer or revel in schadenfreude; here are no cautionary tales. Rather, here are brief introductions -- acts of excavation and reclamation -- to people history may have forgotten, but whose claim on our imagination is now secure." -- rear fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Picador, 2001. First Edition, Hardback. Fine/Fine. FINE/FINE 2ND IMPRESSION 1ST 2001 PICADOR HARDBACK, UNCLIPPED DJ, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTO SECTION. TREMENDOUSLY ENJOYABLE TALES OF RENOWNED OBSCURITY AND HISTORICAL NEAR MISSES. Those who are coming to this book either through Ricky Jay's stage show or the radio 4 snippets are in for a treat. Even if you have read Paul Collins' work in McSweeney's, most of this will be new to you (I only recognized three of the thirteen pieces). The author takes us into the delusional worlds of his subjects, building our enthusiasm for the dreamers and their obsessions, even as he foreshadows the calamities to come. Along with John Banvard--the once-celebrated painter who had the hubris to try and beat P.T. Barnum at his own game--Collins recounts the tales of a gullible astronomer, a teenage forger of Shakespeare, a would-be underground mogul, the inventor of a musical language, a physicist who discovered the (very) elusive "N-ray;" and many more Quantity Available: 1.
