NOAH

a supernatural eco-thriller

 

Authored by Patricia L. Meek

A quirky, action-packed rollercoaster ride that takes the reader through science and religion, technology and indigenous wisdom. Noah's struggles are those of humanity as we attempt to find meaning in universal paradoxical patterns. Noah is a wisdom tale for wise folks.

About the author:
Patricia L. Meek derives her inspiration from mysticism, archetypal imagery, and the life and death struggle within the natural world. She was one of the winners of AWP Intro for Fiction, American Writers Program for the introduction of emerging writers in fiction and poetry. After earning an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas, she taught English composition and creative writing in Kansas, California, Utah, Louisiana, and New Mexico.
Meek also holds an M.A. in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where studied transpersonal psychology and holistic healing practices, including Reikî and Noetic Field Therapy. This interest in the subtler forms of human consciousness led her to the high Andes to learn the ceremonial and initiation practices of the Q'uero Paqos.
She currently works as a therapist in Southern Colorado and frequently returns to her hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

SUFIS AND MYSTICS OF THE WORLD



Authored by Farzana Moon

This book is a journey into the realm of ancient wisdom through the eyes of the Sufis and the Mystics. Their quest to attain mystical union with the divine beloved chisels a path toward the garden of love, peace and harmony. Since eighth century onward, Sufis and Mystics have captured the hearts and minds of the spiritual seekers with their timeless message of unity in all creeds, cultures and religions. Featured Sufis and Mystics in this collection are: Hafiz; Jalalal-din-Rumi; Omar Khayyam; Sa'adi; Rabia; Ibn Al Arabi; Al Hallaj; Farid-ud-din Attar; Sarmad; St. John of the Cross; Prophet Muhammad; Khalil Gibran; Umar Ibn al-Farid; Kabir; Rabindranath Tagore; C. S. Lewis; St. Augustine. All are proclaiming love as the highest of virtues and singing the song of oneness. Nurtured by my love for the Sufis and Mystics this book lends voice to my speech on Sufism delivered at Columbia University. Love is the theme of this book as abridged in the quatrain below:
Love holy and enshrined
From the string of each heart
Serenading beloved with a song divine
On the harp of frolicsome breeze
