Every person has seen a tree and maybe planted or climbed one! In all world religions, various trees are considered sacred. Trees have the ability to help us reach wholeness if we learn their wisdom and integrate it into our lives. This abecedarian--a book whose contents are in alphabetical order--explores the spiritual growth that is possible by reflecting on the wisdom of woody plants, which help humans experience the divine. In these pages you can explore trees from Acacia to Zaqqum. For each of the forty entries, the author presents a text identifying the tree, a reflective study, a question for journaling or personal meditation, and a concluding prayer. Some trees you may have heard about, and some may be new to you. The spiritual life is enhanced by the trees that surround and share the earth with us while also disclosing the divine to us.

In Leaves from the Garden of Eden, Howard Schwartz, a three-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award, has gathered together one hundred of the most astonishing and luminous stories from Jewish folk tradition. Just as Schwartz's award-winning book Tree of Souls collected the essential myths of Jewish tradition, Leaves from the Garden of Eden collects one hundred essential Jewish tales. As imaginative as the Arabian Nights, these stories invoke enchanted worlds, demonic realms, and mystical experiences. The four most popular types of Jewish tales are gathered here--fairy tales, folktales, supernatural tales, and mystical tales--taking readers on heavenly journeys, lifelong quests, and descents to the underworld. There is a dybbuk lurking in a well, a book that comes to life, and a world where Lilith, the Queen of Demons, seduces the unsuspecting. Here too are Jewish versions of many of the best-known tales, including "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Rapunzel." Schwartz's retelling of one of these stories, "The Finger," inspired Tim Burton's film Corpse Bride.

Note: Previously published under Linzi Basset as: Slade: The First Touch Meet Azriel, Angel of Destruction, the leader of the Rebel Angels as he continues his search for his mate. His time was running out as he had to mate before he reached his Golden Years. Unless he does, his ruling would come to an end and he would roam the universe, destroying worlds in his wake. Claire Burrows didn’t believe in love and had closed her heart from such a benign emotion years ago. She had no patience for folklore and was aghast when the editor of the Fashion Magazine she worked for, sent her to interview a professor at an Angel and Demon conference. Prepare for a fast, hot, and sexy suspense tale, laden with deep emotions and humorous sassy female at the helm who refuses to accept the reality of angels and demons. If you’re in the mood for some fantasy, sexy angels, and demons, this is the story for you.
