From Beau Wise and Tom Sileo comes Three Wise Men, an incredible memoir of family, service and sacrifice by a Marine who lost both his brothers in combat—becoming the only "Sole Survivor" during the war in Afghanistan. Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, three brothers by blood became brothers in arms when each volunteered to defend their country. No military family has sacrificed more during the ensuing war, which has become the longest ever fought by America’s armed forces. While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community. Less than three years later, US Army Green Beret sniper Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, while Jeremy received the Intelligence Star—one of the rarest awards bestowed by the U.S. government—and also a star on the CIA’s Memorial Wall. United States Marine Corps combat veteran Beau Wise is the only known American service member to be pulled from the battlefield after losing two brothers in Afghanistan. Told in Beau’s voice, Three Wise Men is an American family’s historic true story of service and sacrifice.

‘Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying: “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.”’ These words begin a story that will be familiar to many, whether from images on Christmas cards or school nativity plays, or more directly from Christian teaching. As often with images associated with Christmas, they have the power to evoke all kinds of feelings, from joy and hope to sorrow and doubt. But what do we really know of the birth of Jesus, and who were the mysterious wise men that are reported to have visited him? In this freshly-collated anthology of Rudolf Steiner’s lectures, complemented with illuminating commentary by editor Margaret Jonas, we are offered solutions to the riddles surrounding Jesus’s birth and the seemingly conflicting accounts within Christian scripture. Could there have been two different births – in other words, two infants, both named Jesus, born to two sets of parents? From the mystery of the birth, we are led to a study of the three wise men – who are mentioned in only one of the four Gospel accounts. Who were they, what was their teaching, and what was the meaning of the star they followed? And, why did they offer gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the baby Jesus? The Three Wise Men offers solutions to the enigma of the identity and spiritual backgrounds of these magisterial figures and also provides suggestions as to their possible future roles in the drama of human development. Featuring colour images, this original, thought-provoking book is a wonderful gift for anyone seeking to understand the birth of Jesus and the wise men from the East.

At risk of losing their lives in a storm at sea, a layed-back piece of seaweed and an adventurous young flying fish become good friends. While in peril, they learn the secrets found in the sun, moon, planets and stars. Can this have anything to do with the Three Wise Men seen in displays during the Winter Holidays? Meantime based on a true story, a very well-known actor recently played the role of a Sea Captain. The importance of a ship’s Master became quite clear in that movie. Pirates know that the merchant cargo ships do not carry guns and weapons, so they were able to gain control of the huge ship. The giant ship that Capt. Paul masters is also a target of pirates. So what does this have to do with the Three Wise Men? Where the three Wise Men pirates? What do Capt. Paul and the Three Wise Men have in common? Just like a ship’s Master, the Three Wise Men knew how to employ the sun, moon, planets and stars to forcast conditions and recognize coming events. Astrologers believe that the sun, moon, planets and stars determine people’s actions, people’s personality and even the course of history. Does this mean Capt. Paul practiced astrology? Were the Three Wise Men astrologers? Why is it possible to accurately forecast conditions and recognize coming events using the sun, moon, planets and the stars? Not everyone agrees on why or how it is possible. Captain Paul explains the orderly design in the heavenly objects. It allowed the Three Wise Men to find the first Christmas. That same orderly design allowed ancient mariners to navigate to far away lands. The same principals allow modern GPS systems to tell drivers how to get to where they are going. Buildings and ships are created in an orderly design by engineers. Who designed the orderly system that allowed the ancient mariners to navigate, and astrologers to interpret the Zodiak? Two new friends discover that whatever created that orderly system, is the same Creator who makes sure there is air to breath and food to eat. They learn that relying on the creation rather than the Creator can result in devastation. The seaweed and flying fish want to tell others that they learned how created things can perish, but the Creator can always provide the things we need. Read and find out if they ever get that chance?

'In a town like Beechnall there are all sorts of rivalries, enmities and feuds.' And many of them soon swirl around the amateur dramatic society's festival production of Twelfth Night, which is under a cloud after politics result in the departure of the established director. Extra-marital affairs, encroaching violence and emotional turmoil threaten what seems like a placid, middle-class Midlands town, and soon Alicia Smallwood, Middleton's heroine, is confronted with serious choices. Once again Stanley Middleton weaves a strong web of intrigue around ordinary provincial life - which turns out, as the plot unfolds, not to be so ordinary after all.

Three men who had gained great fame and honour throughout the world met unexpectedly in front of the bookstall at Paddington Station. Like most of the great ones of the earth they were personally acquainted, and they exchanged surprised greetings. Sir Angus McCurdie, the eminent physicist, scowled at the two others beneath his heavy black eyebrows. "I'm going to a God-forsaken place in Cornwall called Trehenna," said he. "That's odd; so am I," croaked Professor Biggleswade. He was a little, untidy man with round spectacles, a fringe of greyish beard and a weak, rasping voice, and he knew more of Assyriology than any man, living or dead. A flippant pupil once remarked that the Professor's face was furnished with a Babylonic cuneiform in lieu of features. "People called Deverill, at Foulis Castle?" asked Sir Angus. "Yes," replied Professor Biggleswade. "How curious! I am going to the Deverills, too," said the third man.

A collection of short stories that earned praise from all sides. The book is a satire on three interesting topics: social system of Robert Owen, lawyers, and the science of phrenology. Paulding has successfully employed his style as a dagger to elucidate his chosen subjects. This literary work of art is his most triumphant production. Magnificent!
