Grasping for life, Grosso needed to find a new path, one that went beyond conventional religious or spiritual doctrine—one free of bullshit. Blazing his own path, Grosso discovered that spirituality is not something that only happens on meditation cushions or yoga mats, in sanghas, churches, mosques, temples, or synagogues. It’s not always peaceful and quiet. It can be as loud as a rock concert. Brutally honest and radically unconventional, Grosso’s collection of stories and musings about his meandering journey of selfinquiry, recovery, and acceptance shows what it means to live a truly authentic life. Set amongst the backdrop of Grosso’s original music (included for download via QR codes in the text), Indie Spiritualist empowers readers to accept themselves as they are in all their humanity and imperfect perfection, to honor the spiritual truth within themselves, and to question the answers regardless of what anyone says. 978-1-58270-462-3 978-1-58270-252-0 Hardcover • $23.00 beyondword.com 503.531.8700 BW Catalog_2014_FINAL.indd 5 Chris Grosso is a tattooed independent culturist, freelance writer, spiritual aspirant, recovering addict, and musician.

As more and more baby boomers reach retirement age, we need to create a contemporary model for aging. Pevny offers readers a new way to look at aging that focuses on the potential for growth, passion, purpose, and service while offering wisdom for dealing with the inevitable losses. It is the result of conscious choices and of physical, psychological, and spiritual preparation that leads to not merely growing old, but aging consciously!

EMERGENCE National television, radio, and print publicity campaign Seven Steps for Radical Life Change National mind, body, spirit radio and print publicity campaign Derek Rydall Online publicity with leading spirituality and mind, body, spirit websites and blogs Online advertising with leading spirituality and mind, body, spirit websites and blogs National radio interview campaign JENNIFER CALDERON The traditional model of personal development isn’t working. We attract a new mate but have the same old fights. We manifest a bigger paycheck but end up broke at a higher income bracket. The harder we try to change, the deeper in the hole we get. Emergence is not another self-improvement technique. In fact, this is the end of the self-improvement movement. In this 7-stage framework, spiritual life coach Derek Rydall shows us we don’t need to “attract” anything because we aren’t lacking anything. The self is already whole, and everything we’re meant to be and all we need to fulfill it is already in us. Backed by the ancient truth mystics have tried to teach but which has been largely lost, Rydall changes the conversation around how to achieve your potential by showing you how to activate the genius already within you and how to empower your purpose in life.

Today, he is a prominent life coach and consultant for EmmyTM and Academy AwardTM winners, Fortune 500 executives, and evolutionary leaders in business, spirituality, and the healing arts. He is an active speaker, bringing his unique brand of inspiration to tens of thousands of people around the country.

Wattles The transformative power of thought was introduced to millions in the hit book and movie The Secret, but its true origins began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with writers like James Allen, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Charles F. Haanel. The Library of Hidden Knowledge travels to the source of The Secret to reveal and translate the earliest wisdom of the New Thought movement. In clear, concise language, Dr. Ruth L. Miller introduces these powerful ideas to a modern audience. Rev. Ruth L. Miller, PhD, has interpreted the works of some of the greatest thinkers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Charles F. Haanel. Miller expertly integrates scientific, spiritual, and cultural understanding to clarify metaphysical principles for a modern audience. An ordained New Thought minister, Miller serves in Unity, Science of Mind, and Unitarian churches of the Pacific Northwest and is director of the Portal Center for Studies of Spirit in Oregon. 18 Library of Hidden Knowledge BW Catalog_2014_FINAL.indd 18 978-1-58270-420-3 • 208 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 3/8 • $15.00/$17.00 978-1-58270-421-0 • 272 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 3/8 • $16.00/$18.99 978-1-58270-374-9 • 256 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 7/16 • $15.00/$17.00 978-1-58270-375-6 • 288 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 7/16 • $15.00/$17.00 978-1-58270-285-8 • 240 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 • $14.00/$16.00 978-1-58270-190-5 • 464 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 7/16 • $19.00/$22.50 978-1-58270-188-2 • 208 pgs 5 1/2 x 8 3/8 • $12.99/$14.99 BeyondWordsPublishing BeyondWordsPub 2/3/14 10:44 AM BE A CHANGEMAKER How to Start Something that Matters Laurie Ann Thompson Gone are the days when kids were supposed to be “seen and not heard.” Today, youth everywhere are rising up, building new organizations, and creating the changes they want to see in their communities and around the world.
