If death is an end then I know for certain there is nothing final about it. When Nicole Kerr hit the ground she thought: I am going to die yet death is not supposed to happen this way. I am just 19 years old. I still have things to do places to go deadlines to meet so I cannot be dead. I don t have time to be dead. Still I think I am. This must be death. Rays of brilliant white light flood me from all sides. Streams of light cocoon me wrapping every part of my being in a chrysalis of soothing waves. Instead of the pain of impact I feel rocked and held. This is bliss. No fear. All of us fear death. For most of us that fear remains below the surface of conscious awareness most of the time. What is fear if not the body s reaction to the possibility of its own end? Eventually you will die so why then does Nicole Kerr make the audacious claim that you are deathless? In the book You Are Deathless Nicole Kerr shares her journey about awakening to herself and the transforming work of aligning her soul spirit mind and body. Through her own death Nicole was forced to shed ascribed identities such as being a people-pleaser to instead develop an authentic loving relationship with herself and God. Her story proves that we can put to death the punishing angry God that man created. This allows the beautiful God of love and acceptance whom she encountered in her own death to emerge and accompany us in day-to-day life. Nicole beautifully presents how her NDE was actually an STE: A Spiritually Transformative Experience. This aligns with the ten most common NDE lessons (Source: IANDS 2020 Annual Report) the first of which is We do not die. Nicole has persevered through enormous suffering and pain to create the life she now loves. Nicole has seen what awaits you at the end of this life because she s been there and she can assure you that it s a new beginning more beautiful than you can now comprehend. A good death begins today and with it a great life. Through Nicole s death experience you can learn how to live your life to the fullest. You can engage in your own metamorphosis without having to die like Nicole did.

VOL. 1: vi, [erratta insert] 296,[4] pp. VOL 2: vi, [erratta insert], 310, plus 1 pg. publisher's ads, [3] pp. **CONDITION: Near Fine. Clean, firm, bright.

Lacking dustjackets. **The authors give their personal impressions of these Italian cities, with reference to political rivalries and foreign incursions through the ages as indicative of regional character. The artists Correggio, Perugino, Raphael, Brunelleschi, Giotto, Dante and Mantegna receive special art historical attention, as does the art of fresco and mosaic. Not really a travelogue, although they mention rail travel, nor a catalogue of specific sites to visit and how to get there. This is very much more so an impressionistic appreciation of places the authors must have spent a great deal of time in, pursuing their art, and in observation of changes brought by, for instance the late nineteenth century attempts at urban renewal and sanification to the city centers. Chapters cover Ravenna, Siena, Parma, Perugia, Cortona, Spoleto, Assisi, Raphael in Rome, Florentine Sketches, and Mantua. **AUTHOR Edward Howland Blashfield, (1848-1936) was a celebrated muralist of the classic tradition in the period before the First World War, whose work included decoration of the Library of Congress. Born in New York, he attended Harvard and MIT as an engineering student, before being recognized for his artistic skills. He studied art in Paris, returned to the United States and won a commission to paint a mural at the World's Columbian Exposition, which led to further public and private commissions. His wife, Evangeline Wilbour Blashfield (1881-1918), the Rhode Island-born daughter of a noted Egyptologist, spent time living abroad before her marriage in 1881. She wrote, or co-wrote with her husband, several books on art topics. The couple lived abroad for fifteen years after their marriage. (from American Art News, Nov. 23, 1918.) An interesting read.

Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark (1843-1922) served in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. Clark served aboard the USS Ossipee during the Civil War and participated in the Battle of Mobile Bay. After serving on a number of vessels, Clark was promoted to captain in 1896. As commander of the USS Oregon, he sailed from San Francisco to Florida when the war with Spain began in 1898. Clark and his crew sailed over 14,000 miles to meet the American fleet in Cuban waters, which emphasized the need for the Panama Canal to make the trip from coast to coast more efficient.
