Secrets
of Cancer Survivors
By :
Elizabeth
Gould
RRP : AUD$21.95
In this ground-breaking book, Elizabeth Gould details her own story as well as the stories of five cancer survivors. No diets or miracle cures but a practical step-by-step approach to describing the emotional and physical journey through cancer into remission. In this book you will learn: Mental tools and techniques to cope with each stage of cancer How your body will change during treatment and how to cope with those changes The best ways to emotionally support a cancer patient; and How the cancer journey can transform your life. This is a book of hope, survival and how to discover your own path through an enormous physical and mental challenge. Elizabeth Gould had barely recovered from being the victim of a major crime during which she had to defend her two small children, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Drawing on her previous experience of surviving in tough situations, Elizabeth pulled through but was concerned at the lack of material about ‘the things that no-one will tell you’. Using her experience as a writer as well as a survivor, Elizabeth interviewed five other survivors all with different cancers and backgrounds to distill the ‘secrets’ to surviving cancer to complete her book ‘Secrets of Cancer Survivors’.
In this book you will learn: Mental tools and techniques to cope with each stage of cancer how your body will change during treatment and how to cope with those changes The best ways to emotionally support a cancer patient; and How the cancer journey can transform your life. This is a book of hope, survival and how to discover your own path through an enormous physical and mental challenge.

The Prayer Book 2009
RRP : AUD$32.95
Sacred Space The Prayer Book 2009 is the fourth edition of the book of the hugely successful website www.sacredspace.ie inaugurated in 1999 by Alan McGuckian SJ and Peter Scally SJ of the Jesuit Communication Centre, Ireland. Since its inception in 1999, in excess of twenty million people have visited the website and the prayer book is now translated into twenty different languages. Worldwide, Christians from all denominations reflect and pray at the site, as do those seeking a sense of spirituality in their lives. The overwhelming response has been the realisation that the faith that unites us is far greater than that which divides us.
This book, as with the website, guides the reader, simply and gently, through a few stages of preparation. Each week begins with “Something to think and pray about each day this week”, then six small “Stages of Prayer” leading into a short piece of scripture with points to help us think about the text and make it relevant to our daily lives. This sacred space in one’s day can be anywhere at any time – on a park bench, at home, the office, the beach – a time to quietly connect with God. A time to be consoled, healed, challenged and transformed.
Michelle Anderson Publishing has acquired world rights to this title and has sold US rights to Ave Maria Press and Irish and UK rights to Veritas Publishers.

An
Eye for An I : Living Philosophy
By
Robert Spillane
RRP AUD : $24.95
We cannot escape from philosophy because we philosophise when we reflect critically on how we are living and the study of living, suitably elaborated, is philosophy. Philosophies embody ideas of considerable force and fascination which can change lives. To live a philosophy we need to penetrate the illusions of appearance and the delusions of common sense by which life misleads us. Because philosophy is thinking about thinking it is a subversive and liberating activity. It is subversive because philosophers are never satisfied with final answers. It is liberating because philosophers confront us with our prejudices. Socrates, Plato, Diogenes, Epictetus, Machiavelli, Descartes, Hume, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus and others discussed here aim not merely to communicate information but challenge readers with striking ideas and to arouse curiosity, not to satisfy it.

Finding
Joy Within
By
David Corby
RRP : AUD$21.95
Finding Joy Within shows us the steps to finding true joy again. It is about potential, the potential for all of us to live the life we most want to live, a life where we express our values in all that we do. The aim is to learn to let go of all the things that hold us back from expressing who we truly are in our lives. Joy is not ‘happiness’. Joy is something deeper. It is closer to a state of peace than it is to happiness. This book will take us there.

The
Management Contradictionary
By
Benjamin
Marks,
Rodney Marks and
Robert
Spillane
RRP : AUD$19.95
"Don’t judge a book by its
cover."
Page Turner, Aphorists' Pundit
The Management Contradictionary defines the real meaning of over 1,000 management terms. The shock of recognition, the juxtaposition of incongruous facts and fiction and the undermining of authority all combine to create a humorous debunking of the world of work. As a funny business tool kit, it provides ammunition and antidotes to readers. Defend yourself against the jargon and the clichés of business and government! This book has been peer reviewed by its authors.

Organics of Relationships
A Do-it-Yourself Manual for Women
by Natalie Rinehart
RRP $19.95 AUD
This book helps couples in their relationships by helping women, in this case, look at their own behaviour and how with the right 'ecosystem' they can encourage growth and beauty in their relationship. It helps women reflect on the ways they can better understand their male partners, being aware of course that men make errors in relationships, but this book is not about those mistakes. The reader must be honest about what they see in themselves in these pages. Rather than blaming oneself being open to change can make one 'the person that your partner fell in love with and will want to grow old with.'

Sacred Surfer, Eternal Wave
by Dr Pee Tek Chan
RRP : AUD$19.95
Sacred Surfer, Eternal Wave is a motivational, self-help book for people searching for truth and freedom in their lives from the ever pervasive feelings of poor self-image and self-criticism. It discusses, amongst other issues: our past, synchronicity, relationships between men and women, forgiveness, broken hearts, timelessness, trust and faith, simplicity and the power of surrendering. It shares practical methods of finding one's true nature and therefore freedom.
The surfer is portrayed as "surfing life's waves". The relationships between
men and women are presented as tangible practical ways to freedom. The
book is a 'new age' one - written by a well-known Brisbane medical doctor.
It uses both Eastern and Western medicine to show people how to: l 'Surf
life's waves' (in other words life's problems) rather than getting drowned
in life's problems l Through more meaningful relationships, l Through
meditation (a full section of meditation exercises is included) l Through
laughter l Through breathing exercises l Identifying one's fears and learning
how to overcome them l Describes the chakra system.
In other words it really is a self-help book but one that embraces both
Eastern and Western medicine.

Mechanics of Women
By Natalie Rinehart
RRP : AUD $16.95
An amusing but also very practical book for men struggling in relationships or those who are single and wondering what keeps going wrong. As the author in her own straightforward way says: "It is not here to slap you on the hand and say you are a bad boy. The idea is to help you with your relationship future, not to tell you off for the past. It is not designed to say that women always get it right and men get it wrong. Women are just as guilty of relationship mistakes as men". In simple terms, the book outlines how men can achieve positive change in their romantic relationships. The book has been tested by a group of male readers and readily endorsed.

Soul Sisters
Modern Prayers for Modern Women
by Lucia Nardo
RRP $19.95 AUD
Today's woman demonstrates the desire to incorporate a spiritual dimension into her life. In many instances, women seek new spiritual practices as an alternative or adjunct to traditional faith customs. While there is abundant information available on spirituality generally, there is little in the way of structured prayer which is not bound by specific faith traditions or styles. Prayer is regaining ground as a way of demonstrating spirituality and/or belief. However much of the prayer that is familiar is formal and perceived as not relevant.
Souls Sisters - Modern Prayers for Modern Women is a response to women's search for prayer within a spiritual dimension. There are 120 prayers on a wide range of subjects. Some amusing, some sad, but all relevant to a woman's life. Readers have found these prayers have touched them personally and many reduced to tears.
Souls Sisters includes explanatory terms used in the prayers and is non denominational so that it can be inclusive of all beliefs. The prayers stand alone for those seeking non-specific spirituality, or adaptable to those with existing faith practices.

by Dr Craig Hassed

in 1984. His interest in a holistic approach led him to focus on wellbeing
rather than simply treating illness. This led him to focus upon counselling,
mind-body medicine and meditation. In 1988 Craig decided to make a contribution
to bridging these missing links in medical education through joining the
Monash University Department of Community Medicine and General Practice.
