The Kentucky Spring: Stories Told Along Old Bloomfield Road
$20.00
RICHARD SHOUSE
This fictional novel is taken from Kentucky history and the stories people told along Old Bloomfield Road. Off the narrow country road, hidden in the woods, was a spring, a pool of water. A young Shawnee boy discovered the reflection from the spring water could reveal the future. He spilled his blood there as an old man as his secret was discovered.
Over time, many people looked into the spring. Most saw nothing. A few saw strange reflections; a landscape, an unfamiliar face, their true love, their family’s destiny, their own demise. The magic spring remained secret, concealed among the trees near a creek along the sweeping meadow as people continued to lived their hard, challenging lives.
As the land was contested for, the stories narrate a confrontation of brutality versus brutality. Fear and loneliness in the wilderness versus hope for a family’s future. Suicide and murder, the tragic tale reported all over the world known as ‘the Kentucky Tragedy.’
Some abandoned the farm and their family for a dream. The Civil War divided mother and son, and a father sacrificed his life for his only boy. There are the indigenous natives, frontiersmen, settlers, duelists, carpenters and farmers, slaves and aristocrats, Shakers and minstrel performers singing Stephen Foster. Moonshiners and thoroughbred horses. Eloping teens and Kentucky high school basketball. Joy and love, melancholy and despair.
And during these difficult times there remained eternal hope, another day, a child’s laughter, and the pleasure of a husband and wife holding hands. The fortunate few could see this in the waters of the Kentucky spring.

Metaphysical Revelations: Information on the Dawning of a New Age
$9.99
SEAN MCCLEARY
This book is based on a very powerful combination of spirituality and science. This is producing universal changes which is also affecting planet Earth. Moreover, a little investigation will reveal that certain discoveries in modern-day physical science are substantiating what can be found as core tenets of various schools of philosophy, religion and other forms of spiritual science, dating back thousands of years. The metaphysical aspect of Life, if and when properly understood and applied in a particular manner, exercises a specific, definite and predictable influence upon - literally - all areas of the physical aspect.
Such is the primary purpose of the knowledge contained within this book - to put before the reader that simple yet significant fact, across many areas of Life; not merely for the sake of imparting theoretical knowledge, but also pointing the way towards the practical use of such knowledge.

Apocalyptic Revelations: The Emergence of Earth's Spiritual Awakening
$9.99
SEAN MCCLEARY
Earth is in a very powerful stage of evolutionary development right now. Earth supports life and life here contains consciousness and this means the Earth is a living organism with consciousness as well. There have been different terms to describe a revolutionary change in the structure of life on the planet.
The metaphysical community has called this “the shift in consciousness,” and the scientific community has called this scenario “the Paradigm Shift,” and in religion, it is known as the "Apocalypse." Apocalypse is Greek and translates to "a revealing of information and a transition into a heavenly state." A definite transition is occurring due to the levels of consciousness and energy changing on our planet. The entire universe is actually going through changes now and this has to do with the evolutionary development of the universe itself.
