Moved by her own struggle to recover from breast cancer, Sandy Johnson explores with curiosity and a measure of healthy skepticism the work of healers, miracle-makers, and transformers of the mind, body, and soul. She travels the world-- from a beachside compound in Hawaii to a remote village in Brazil-- to meet face-to-face with the most acclaimed healers. She often experiences their work first-hand and reports, with fascinating detail, the story of their real-life miracles and incredible feats. She also writes about the wonder of the "placebo effect," which seems to give some people the faith they need to begin healing on their own. You'll meet Katie Engelhardt, a young woman from Tennessee, who is able to intuit and then often heal the ailments of people while in a trancelike state. Sometimes, after entering her trance, goldlike metal flakes appear on her face, neck, back, and hands. In another chapter, "Bundji," an Australian man with Aboriginal ancestors, tells how he was led to resurrect the healing methods of his people and now travels the world to heal those in need with "love, light, and energy." Dr. Ruth Ziemba, a traditionally trained nurse and chiropractor, explains why her treatments require only the lightest pressure with hands her patients say emanate an intense, healing heat. You'll also meet John of God, the Brazilian with the kitchen knife, who treats as many as 3,000 people at a time, excising tumors, ending blindness, and curing arthritis and cancer at his Casa de San Inacio in a remote Brazilian village. The Brazilian Healer with the Kitchen Knife grants an unprecedented view of this simultaneously ancient and modern phenomenon, and its most compelling practitioners. Sandy Johnson allows you to meet these spiritual magicians so that you can attempt to understand their gifts and motivations, and witness the best and worst of their work.

This book investigates the growing number of Western followers of John of God, a faith healer who has drawn hundreds of thousands of people, including Oprah Winfrey, to his healing center in Brazil by purportedly performing miraculous surgeries on people with a kitchen knife and no anesthetics. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork throughout Brazil, the US, UK, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand, Cristina Rocha examines the social and cultural forces that have made it possible for an illiterate, mostly unknown faith healer in Brazil to become a global "guru" of the 21st century.

At once controversial and intriguing, Spiritualism has spread from the United States to become a global movement. Bringing together perspectives from within the movement and without, this unique collection treats readers to insights about Spiritualism's history, belief, and practice. Based on the belief that the dead can communicate with the living through mediums, Spiritualism touches concepts as timelessly fascinating as human mortality and the continuing existence of the soul beyond bodily death. This comprehensive work will help readers parse the mysteries of this uniquely American religion through three thematically organized volumes: Spiritualism in the U.S. and Globally, Evidence and Beliefs, and Cultural and Social Issues. Drawing on fields as diverse as psychology, sociology, religious studies, anthropology, history, ethnic and gender studies, literature, and art, this broad-based collection frames Spiritualism through the views of a team of international scholars. Among the many things that separate Spiritualism from mainstream religions is the involvement of women in central leadership roles. Such cultural and political elements of the movement are one aspect of this study. Of equal interest to believers and skeptics alike will be the work of scholars who have devoted themselves to examining the claim that communication through mediums proves the existence of life after death.

Michael Palin's terrific account of his journey through 18 countries bordering the Pacific Ocean, published by Phoenix for the first time. For almost a year, Michael Palin travelled through 18 countries on the perimeter of the world's largest ocean, in a spectacular journey of contrasts, drama and beauty. From head-hunters in Borneo to a meal of maggots in Mexico, his route takes him to some of the most politically volatile and physically demanding places on Earth. Whether climbing the Exalted Mountains in China, dodging icebergs in Chile, or being taken short on the banks of the Amazon, Michael Palin paints a vivid picture of the people and places around him. 'It was a journey of dazzling surprises and jarring extremes. Beauty and ugliness, sophistication and squalor, unceasing urban noise and monastic tranquility ... This is a record of a year of wonder' Michael Palin.

The Thirteenth Moon, A Journey Into The Heart of Healing is the poignant, often humorous, and always inspiring true story of the most incredible and personal journey of Sandy Johnson's life... curing herself from Stage IV cancer. Yet this is not a typical cancer memoir or how-to health book. Written with the cinematic sweep of a riveting novel, it reveals a way to healing that can be accessed by anyone facing the battle of their life. This trajectory doesn't simply reject traditional medicine, but accepts and incorporates it into a larger whole, with a metaphysical component that takes the patient where no conventional doctor can go. Facing her own mortality, Johnson sought out both healers and mainstream scientists. They helped her understand that the source of all healing lies within us, but that each person must find his or her own path. Johnson found hers through heartfelt faith and the help of some amazing individuals - some of whom are leaders in mainstream medicine, and others whom western medicine would characterize as crackpots. Yet labels can be deceptive. Sandy Johnson is now cancer free. The Thirteenth Moon, A Journey Into The Heart of Healing will resonate with millions of readers seeking high inspiration and solid, real-world hope.

This book examines a broad range of infamous scams, cons, swindles, and hoaxes throughout American history—and considers why human gullibility continues in an age of easy access to information. Covering American cons and hoaxes past and present, including the Great Moon Hoax of 1835, the controversy over "subliminal messaging" (do bands, filmmakers, and advertisers really put secret messages in their works?), the panic about "satanic" daycare operators in the 1980s, and recent Internet scams, this book provides a fascinating, fact-based look at infamous frauds across the centuries. Offering an engaging mix of history, sociology, and psychology, author Nate Hendley gives readers an appreciation of how prominent scams, cons, "confidence men," and hoaxes have impacted American society, past and present. Each entry details the scheme or hoax and the pertinent con artist/schemer involved, examining the sociological, cultural, political, and/or economic effect of the scams. Each topic is accompanied by a short bibliography of further reading selections. As the old saying goes, "There is a sucker born every minute"—and there has always been a keen-eyed swindler to take advantage of the situation. The Big Con: Great Hoaxes, Frauds, Grifts, and Swindles in American History explores this sordid underbelly of American civilization and invites readers to revel in the felonious experience.

The New Day is the true and transformational story of entrepreneur Charles "Chuck" Curcio, known for his unique and offbeat TV commercials as the Tire King, who parlayed a 500 dollar investment into fame, fortune, and the American Dream. Then God came to him one October day and asked Charles to work for Him, with this simple instruction: "You are to learn about me and about you, and then teach others who they are too". Although initially he resisted, Charles agreed to serve God, and from that day forward his life changed dramatically, ultimately leading him to Delphi University of Spiritual Studies and the incredible world of God and Spirit that can be accessed and experienced directly by all people. In the first part of the book, Charles details his early life and business career, how he became a successful entrepreneur, and the secrets to his success. This is a must read for any serious entrepreneur and business owner. Charles then takes the reader on his own spiritual journey and shares many of the incredible events which occurred along the way, like speaking directly with God, miraculous healings, spiritual phenomena, and the insight and understanding he has gained as a result. As only he can, Charles departs to the reader profound and yet simple spiritual truths and wisdom, articulating the way things truly are, and sharing many things one has probably never heard or realized before, like the Principles of Energy, Life's Journey, Purpose, and Plan, Eternal Life and the Myths of Death, Heaven, and Hell, the Law of Karma, the True Nature and Cause of Dis-ease, and the Spiritual Powers & Gifts You Possess. The New Day is a manual of the Spirit, a spiritual handbook and primer in which you will learn the truth and purpose of life: where you've come from, where you're headed, the spiritual gifts and abilities you possess, how you can develop and express them, and how to bring healing, harmony, and abundance into your life. Simple, straightforward, new, and revolutionary, Charles will give you a whole new understanding, depth, and perspective of who and what you really are, and what life and existence are really about. Finally, the true story of man and God, our spiritual nature and our relationship to the Universe, and the reasons we come to earth, our purpose, plan, and mission. The New Day is an incredible story of Spirituality and Spiritual Awakening, Love, Miracles, Wisdom, and Spiritual truth, providing the reader with a true perspective about life, existence, life's purpose, and the ways things truly are. A spiritual handbook and primer, and a treasure of spiritual truth and principles, The New Day will finally answer the questions man has pondered within from the beginning of time: "Who am I, What am I, and What the heck am I doing here?" So keep an open mind and an open heart, and get ready to know the truth, the truth of life, your life's purpose, the truth of you. And learn how you can bring your own life into harmony, healing, and abundance.
