Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction, and for Gary Renard, best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe, such was the case. In 1992, two "ascended masters" appeared before him to impart the teachings from A Course in Miracles. Before their arrival, Renard had never heard of this modern spiritual text. Over the next nine years they met with him frequently to teach him its complexities.

What if you could accelerate your spiritual progress so greatly that you would never have to "come back" to learn more lessons? Is it possible that a form of "advanced forgiveness", if fully understood and achieved, could bring you perfect peace? According to Gary Renard, all the instructions to transcend human suffering and dissolve the illusions of this world are contained in A Course in Miracles.

Jesus, Buddha, and other wisdom masters understood how to love unconditionally - and reminded us that this is in fact our natural state of being. In Fearless Love, Renard invites you to courageously unlearn the habits of the ego and experience life like the great spiritual masters - in eternal harmony with all of humanity and God.

Jack London was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which has since been called the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations.

"Cannibalism In The Cars" is a short story by Mark Twain that satirizes the political system of the US. The story is about a group of men trapped in a train during a snow storm. After a week, the men know they must resort to cannibalism for survival. They hold ineffective elections, and are so formal that they even follow parliamentary procedure.

London was a man of adventure, a man of action, with a dynamic and challenging credo as this. And only he, with his great physical strength, his intense intellect, and his turbulent spirit, could have successfully lived up to it. "The House of Maphui" reflects all this.
