    The Angel Scroll a Mesmerizing Blend of Romance and Mystery Pulsating With Love and Prophecy

    In The Angel Scroll, author Penelope Holt transports readers on a thrilling hunt for three miraculous paintings that are destined to usher in enlightenment. The author combines romance and mystery with the race to find sacred artifacts in a story that explores ancient truths and the modern world.

    Haunted by enigmatic dreams, middle-of-the-road artist and recently widowed Claire Lucas creates a mesmerizing painting of a dying woman in India that creates a sensation when it’s hung in a Manhattan art gallery. When she meets widowed antiquarian Richard Markson, Claire discovers that her remarkable painting is prophesied by the Angel Scroll, an ancient Dead Sea parchment dating back to the time of Christ, and is one-third of an extraordinary triptych that will generate enlightenment for the New Age. Richard and Claire’s quest to recover the stolen scroll and assemble all three paintings ushers in Claire’s transformation and sparks romance between them.

    As the couple tours America, Europe and the Holy Land, their attraction grows but is overshadowed by painful secrets from the past that threaten the promise of love and a life together. Driven on their mission by inexplicable, unseen forces, they encounter human evil that extracts a cruel price, as Claire gradually uncovers a devastating secret: The Scroll’s prophecy foretells healing for others but may predict her death. The race is on to gift the world a new visual gospel and save Claire from a fate that was written millennia ago.

    The Angel Scroll challenges readers to expand their view of reality to incorporate psychic phenomena and metaphysical claims. The author weaves fascinating accounts of the world’s most sacred sites and ancient traditions into a modern-day epic full of revelations and transformational characters, including a Benedictine monk, a Buddhist and a professor of ancient Goddess worship. Together, they invite Claire to challenge old beliefs and open herself up to the miraculous.

During her decade in Nepal she helped set up aid to communities hit by disastrous flooding.

    Learn How the Power of Numbers Can Amplify Harmony and Prosperity: Numerologist Shares His Timeless Wisdom

    Jesse Kalsi left India and came to the United States with two things: complete faith in God and the knowledge of numbers. Neither has ever let him down.

    “I have learned the hard way that I benefit from working with my own personal numbers and that I create unnecessary obstacles when I ignore what my numbers tell me,” he wrote in his latest book, The Power of Home Numbers: Discover the Best Numbers to Increase Harmony and Prosperity in Your Home (now in its 4th edition).

    For 30 years, Kalsi has been transforming lives with his timeless wisdom about astronumerology and his groundbreaking method of number patching. In his book, he empowers readers to manifest successful futures by harmonizing the energy in their lives using house numbers, birthdates, addresses, name numbers and more.

    “This groundbreaking book offers an innovative approach to the specific energies of home numbers and is a powerful tool to escape stagnancy and break through blockages both big and small,” Kalsi said.

    Kalsi combines ancient elements of Vedic numerology along with his extensive knowledge of numbers and their corresponding planets to deliver valuable information to help readers choose the right numbers that will protect them and help them progress toward their goals.

    Through this book, readers will learn:

    • The influences and qualities of each number from 1 through 9, as well as the amplifier 0;

    • All about the original method of number patching, which Kalsi created, and which can drastically improve a home or business’s vibrations;

    • The endless combinations of numbers on homes or businesses that are responsible for success or failure, happiness or desperation;

    • The timing of numbers and how to work with — and not against — the cycles of life to make progress and eliminate confusion and frustration;

    • The energies of famous addresses, politicians and celebrities; and

    • How the proper use of jewelry, crystals and tokens can elevate your energy and expand your sense of awareness.

    “Jesse Kalsi’s book exemplifies his skills as a numerologist and guides readers to manifest the future they deserve through their best numbers,” said Bollywood celebrity Zeenat Aman. “I intend to use all the knowledge Kalsi shares in The Power of Home Numbers to protect both my family and myself. It’s a compelling must read!”

    Longevity Through Love: Doctors Reveal Ways to Turn Back the Hands of Time

    Can people live longer by cultivating healthy relationships? A Harvard study conducted over a period of 80 years confirmed that the most important factor in longevity after age 50 is the quality of personal relationships, and here to help people turn back the hands of time are Barbara Grossman, Ph.D., and Michael Grossman, M.D.

    The two have been married for more than 50 years, and in their book, Ageless Love: the Sexy Science of Falling in Love Forever, they help couples grow and nurture an intense, passionate love that lasts while navigating the inevitable challenges that all couples encounter.

    “Once you have a defined connection, there are expectations, and there’s a desire for ongoing connection,” Dr. Barbara Grossman said. “You have to stay tuned in to each other to know when things need to change.”

    Ageless Love is filled with practical wisdom based on the doctors’ 37-plus years of clinical practice. The doctors share their insights to clarify and enlighten readers regarding:

    ● How to work with, not against, the inevitable stages of love.

    ● Strategies that balance both security and mystery in romance.

    ● Clear prescriptions for specific skills that create passionate, romantic love.

    ● Prescriptions from the latest medical science for your body’s vitality at any age.

    ● How meditation and forgiveness open the heart and nurture “ageless love.”

    Dr. Michael Grossman recently released his new book, Secrets to Deep & Effortless Meditation, to build upon the meditation insights they share in Ageless Love.

    Based on Jewish Kabbalah, Secrets to Deep & Effortless Meditation is essential for those who have been unsuccessful in experiencing deep peace in meditation. It presents an inspiring view of the practice and value of meditation and describes how to deal with all experiences that can arise in meditation and how to allow the process to unfold into deep peace.

    “Modern life is filled with busyness, which was not present 50 years ago. Computers, cell phones, and both parents working create huge amounts of stress and anxiety,” Dr. Michael Grossman said. “Meditation is necessary to live a healthy and joyful life, filled with peace, love, and creativity.”
