Notes from the Other Side of Night is a diary-memoir written upon Juliana Geran Pilon's return to her native Romania in 1975, which she had left along with her family when she was just fourteen. Poetically weaving together modern insight and realities with childhood perceptions, Pilon tells the haunting stories of her parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. Although the scenery of her native home had remained essentially unchanged since her childhood, Pilon recalls streets that are no more, homes and churches that have been demolished. Yet, the hills and forests, the flowers and mountains, the heat of old Bucharest, remained the same. The scenes and characters described in this book are simply unforgettable. Despite the many tragedies it describes--anti-semitism, political imprisonment, and judicial execution were ruthless realities under communism--Notes from the Other Side of Night is not a depressing book. Pilon writes with a detached melancholy about events and characters that illustrate Hannah Arendt's terrifying "banality of evil." But she remembers, as well, those few who managed to remain human beings until the end. Ultimately, hope triumphs in this memoir. This edition includes a new foreword, which discusses the initial writing and publication of this and previous editions.

In a gray fieldstone house in Nashville, Tennessee, the Reverend Joshua Smith Sr.--the staunch and gentle man known to thousands in black churches throughout the South as the Singing Evangelist and to one white reporter as "the Colored Billy Graham"--is trying to compose his own obituary on what will be the last day of his life. In doing so, he looks back over that life--from his childhood in rural nothern Mississippi to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, from tears of humiliation to songs of celebration and triumph. When Do Lord Remember was first published in 1984, the Chicago Sun-Times compared it to Alex Haley's Roots , Newsday described it as "exquisitely crafted," People as "distinguished," the Philadelphia Inquirer as "riveting," and the Cleveland Plain-Dealer declared "every page has something worth remembering." Twenty years later and now a classic, Do Lord Remember Me is an eloquent and deeply moving story about a black family's dignified struggle for survival.

For millennia, the teachings of Kabbalah were available only to men. In fact, women were literally forbidden from studying the subject. Karen Berg has spent her life trying to change that. As the cofounder of the Kabbalah Centre International and the author of the groundbreaking God Wears Lipstick, in which she revealed for the first time how women could use Kabbalah’s timeless tools to improve their lives and find greater fulfillment, Berg is arguably the world’s best known and most beloved female Kabbalist. But both women and men respond to Berg’s clear, honest, and forthright manner of speaking and writing — and, indeed, of being. Her new book, Simple Light, is a collection of thoughts, meditations, advice, stories, and life lessons that capture the author’s very essence and give readers tools to learn from and live by. Through her unique perspective, readers gain fresh insight into an ancient spiritual science.
