جاسوس في الكعبة

“أنا سيد المكر، وملك الحيل، لا حدود لطموحي، ولا رادع لتقدمي. أؤمن بنفسي قبل إيماني بأي عقيدة، وأثق في كوني أدهى مَن يسير على اثنين. مَن يُعاديني ميت وإن ظن أن لديه منعة، ومن يلامس خلايا الشك عندي، مُنته، ولو اعتقد أنه له خاطر. لا خواطر لأحد”.
هذه رواية تستند على أحداث حقيقية، تتشابك مساحات الخيال فيها مع الواقع، لتلتقط سيرة جاسوس استثنائي، أهملته كتب التاريخ، وغفلت عنه كتب الأدب، زُرع زرعًا في قلب القاهرة زمن محمد علي، وشهد حروبه مع المماليك والوهابيين والأتراك، واحتك بالناس في الشام، والمحروسة، والحجاز.
هي حكاية صراع أزلي، مُعلن، ومستتر، دموي، ومعرفي، حضاري، وعقائدي بين الشرق والغرب في زمن الغدر والفتك والخيانات.
ليست حكاية تجسس، ولا سيرة عميل، إنها كشف روائي لصاحب مقام شهير مغروس في قلب القاهرة، تحمل سيرته أسرارًا ومفاجآت وتساؤلات لا حصر لها..

البشر والسحالي

في قرية سبقها الزمن، أو دهسها، نسيته أو نسيها، تدور حرب طاحنة، لا أمل في إنهائها، إذ أن طرفيها، الإنسان والحيوان، لا يتحدثان نفس اللغة، فلا مجال لتفاوض بينهما على هدنة.

في عالم كتاب «البشر والسحالي» لا خطوة يخطوها كائن إلا على جثة آخر، ولا شبع لبطن إلا وثمنه جوع يمزق بطناً آخر، الفلاح، والخنزير، والثعبان، والكلب، والديك، والهدهد، والحمار، والعقرب، والدودة، والقط، والفراشة.

Charge and the Energy Body

(2018) We all know what it’s like to have a ‘charge’ about something. It’s a feeling of excitement, fear, sexual arousal or irritation. But how do we use that charge for the behaviours we want to create?

Charge is a word for the basic life force running through us. This force is crucial if we are to meet challenges, heal past wounds and manage the stress of modern life – and for mastering your own life force and becoming all you can be.

This book makes an important contribution to the field of Energy Medicine by looking at charge as the interface between mind and body, and the missing ingredient in Mind-Body healing. It brings the reader into a deep intimacy with their own life force, as well as an understanding of how charge runs their relationships, their children, their clients and their patients. It examines how we become ‘overcharged’ or ‘undercharged’ and how to create balance through practices of charging and discharging. Each chapter gives simple exercises to put these principles into practice.

World-renowned teacher, somatic therapist, bestselling author and advanced yoga teacher Anodea Judith PhD addresses all this and more in her ground-breaking book on mastering the life force.

Universe Has Your Back

(2016) ‘My commitment with this book is to wake up as many people as possible to their connection to faith and joy. In that connection, we can be guided to our true purpose: to be love and spread love. These words can no longer be cute buzz phrases that we merely post on social media. Rather, these words must be our mission. The happiness, safety and security we long for lies in our commitment to love.’

Through acceptance, surrender and a commitment to her continually evolving spiritual path, New York Times bestselling author and international speaker Gabrielle Bernstein has been transforming her fear into faith. Her stories and universal lessons provide a framework for releasing the blocks to what everyone most longs for: happiness, security and clear direction. These lessons can help us relinquish the need to control in order to relax into a sense of certainty and freedom – to stop chasing life and truly live.

Ride the swell of your energy and true power to find strength when you are down, synchronicity and support when you are lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy in what might otherwise be pain. Bernstein has secrets to reveal, and she is determined to unleash the presence of your power with the comforting knowledge that the

Universe has your back.
