Bridges Books

I found this book to be useful in my work as a paraprofessional in work with blind children. The tips on organizing the blind students materials were clear and precise. I found it fascinating to learn what the parts of a braillewriter are. This book is a simple but essential resource for parents and educators working with young blind students.

One read and all you want to do is write, write, write. Because this book teaches you how. Without it I would have surely flunked my undergraduate English courses. But with it, I am a master of writing.

I use this text to help children with special needs develop math concepts. It is easy to use, very visual and helps keep the material fresh by rotating concepts. A bit on the old side, but math really doesn't change that quickly (and often the changes are less than helpful).

I found this was one of the best books I have ever read. The book teaches teenagers and younger children how to get over their fears by facing them. In the book where Luke has to face going out in the bridge to save the leader of the TrueLanders from the oncoming train, shows that you must never let your fears overcome you when you need to face them to do something important. I just thought it was a good book and even though I read it when I was 13 years old and I am twenty now I feel the moral of the story still applies to be today. It's definitely a book I recommend.

This is a copy of the monthly journal of the Bridge to Freedom.

The Bridge to Freedom was established in 1951 by Geraldine Innocente and other Students of the Ascended Masters, after she received what was believed to be an Anointing to become a Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood.

The members of The Bridge to Freedom claimed that a Dispensation and Sponsorship was given by the Ascended Masters for this Ascended Master Activity to be an outer organization representing the "Great Brotherhood of Light", and a continuation of the previous efforts by the Ascended Masters to bring Illumination to mankind through Theosophy, Agni Yoga, and the The "I AM" Activity.

The members of The Bridge to Freedom believed that Ascended Master El Morya contacted Geraldine Innocente in 1944 and asked her to make a certain application on a daily basis. The story was told that Morya returned one year later asking if she would consent to receive a series of Discourses from the Maha Chohan. Geraldine was said to have agreed, and then underwent years of training in preparation for her role in the 1950s as a Messenger for the Ascended Masters, Archangels, Cosmic Beings, Elohim, and Others of the Spiritual Hierarchy. She served officially in the capacity of Messenger in from the inaugural Vesta Dictation on July 17, 1951 until her transition on June 21, 1961.

The Bridge to Freedom claimed that in 1952 the Ascended Master Saint Germain stated that:

" . . . It was never intended to start a 'new' Activity, but to broaden the field of service of the present Activity, by engaging the competent and willing service of lifestreams not presently allowed full expression of their talents in 'widening the borders of the Father's Kingdom.' Many hundreds of thousands of souls have not been privileged to receive the Instruction brought forth in My Name, due to barriers of language, limitation in the production and distribution of illuminating literature and the unhappy 'excommunications' which resulted from misunderstanding of a human nature. . . . A way and means by which We might reach the consciousness of the people had to be devised. 'The Bridge' was the solution to this problem. Mrs. Ballard was informed prior to any other individual of the purpose for which The Bridge came forth and was courteously invited to allow Us the opportunity of supporting her work and performing through other well qualified individuals the task of reaching other lifestreams than those presently blessed by the knowledge of The "I AM" Activity. . . . The Sun cannot limit its shining to one beam, nor the Love of God to one human consciousness, no matter how well attuned it may have been to the Vibrations of the Masters. The souls of men are our concern, all men, of all colors, all countries, because from the Flame in their hearts will come the Illumination which will make this Dark Star a Flaming Sun of Freedom. . . . "

In this book, Goldschmidt, an emeritus anthropologist, pulls together several strands of scientific work on genetics and cognition into a view of human evolution that provides some deep insights into what makes us human. One of the primary insights that he builds on is the recent discovery of mirror neurons, which allow us to learn through observation. Goldschmidt's idea that the evolution of language and tool making are related is also a valuable one. But most important is his overarching idea that affect hunger is the source of culture; that it is a biological need, yet one that connects us with others, and therefore encourages the cooperation and empathy that makes culture and civilzation possible.

This is a clear and concise book.A good choice if you ever wanted to learn to do landscape quilts. The instructions and pictures make it very easy to understand. Her method for making and attaching bindings is worth having the book besides all the other useful information.

I just finished reading Bridge to Paradise, and was completely amazed at the quality of this book. I would highly recommend reading this book, and possibly even purchasing it. For a true Christian, this book is a great example of what a true believer in Christ should be like, and what a believer faces in his Christian walk with the Lord. Also I would recommend this book to teenagers, no matter what their walk in life is. Truly this is one of the best books I have ever read!

"The author presents a novel method for expressing complex subjects in an easy to understand yet thought provoking manner. His "folksy" writing style reads more like a friendly conversation then a text book. A quick read and a great tool for anyone looking to improve their personal decision making process, and who isn't!"

This sheet music is everything I hoped it would be. It contains all of the pop songs found on the CD soundtrack as well as one piano piece for Aaron Zigman's "Seeing Terabithia." All of the pop songs include vocals, guitar chords, and piano. If you like the CD and you'd like to play the songs yourself, this book comes highly recommended.
