This is the story of an extraordinary journey that begins for author James Westly back in 1977. He was at the time happily married and involved in a successful corporate business career in Philadelphia. But something was missing. He didn't know quite what it was that he was searching for, but one day a small ad in the personals section of the newspaper caught his attention and started him on a path that totally changed his life. In the months that follow he set out on a journey of self-discovery that would within a year's time lead him to virtually withdraw from the world-to separate himself from his job, his house, his wife, his friends, and his material possessions. In the process he joined a retreat in Northern California and made a new life for himself there, where he began a profound intellectual, emotional, and physical transformation that opened up an entirely different way of living for him. "His account of his journey into this new world reads like a novel. He tells his story with a mixture of eloquence and insight that is both breathtaking and inspirational. The journey ends happily, but it is not without its moments of conflict, crisis, and peril"-Tom Hyman, author of Jupiter's Daughter

In 1941, three months after graduating from Vassar College, Ellie Lambert arrived in Brasstown, NC, to join the staff at the John C. Campbell Folk School, an experiment in adult education modeled on Scandinavian folk schools. Naïve and idealistic, she decided to see the world by working in whatever different environments were open to a liberal arts major of the Great Depression years. Lambert's one-year commitment grew into a lifetime. After World War II, she married a local boy and returned to Brasstown to farm and raise a family. She watched the folk school grow into a thriving arts-and-crafts institution attended by people from all over the world. Her memoir is a slice of North Carolina history.

This is the first English translation of Olga Adamova-Sliozberg’s mesmerizing My Journey , which was not officially published in Russia until 2002. It is among the best known of Gulag memoirs and was one of the first to become widely available in underground samizdat circulation. Alexander Solzhenitsyn relied heavily upon it when writing Gulag Archipelago, and it remains the best account of the daily life of women in the Soviet prison camps.  Arrested along with her husband (who, she would much later learn, was shot the next day) in the great purges of the thirties, Adamova-Sliozberg decided to record her Gulag experiences a year after her arrest, and she “wrote them down in her head” (paper and pencils were not available to prisoners) every night for years. When she returned to Moscow after the war in 1946, she composed the memoir on paper for the first time and then buried it in the garden of the family dacha. After her re-arrest and seven more years of banishment to Kazakhstan, she returned to the dacha to dig up the buried memoir, but could not find it. She sat down and wrote it all over again. In her later years she also added a collection of stories about her family. Concluding on a hopeful note—Adamova-Sliozberg’s record is cleared, she re-marries a fellow former-prisoner, and she is reunited with her children—this story is a stunning account of perseverance in the face of injustice and unimaginable hardship. This vital primary source continues to fascinate anyone interesting in the tumultuous history of Russia and the Soviet Union in the twentieth century.

After a lifetime of evangelical missionary work in China, Leona Choy never thought she would ever consider, let alone convert, to Catholicism. Leona thought her 30th book, her autobiography, was her final book. She never dreamed she would write a sequel that would chronicle her surprise faith paradigm shift into the joyous fullness of biblical faith in the Catholic Church. Her attempts to rescue a Calvinist friend who had become Catholic catapulted her on a biblical and historical search through a maze of misinformation. At the age of 80, she faced abandoning her lifelong reputation in evangelical leadership, the potential misunderstanding of family, friends, and coworkers, and losing readers of the books she wrote from a Protestant perspective. Leona counted the cost and courageously took the risks rather than reject the truth she believed God showed her in the Catholic Church.
