Mary, Matrix of Change: Personal and Global Transformation through the Rosary
In the summer of 1988, Michele Maxwell spent a week in the village of Medjugorje, in what is now Bosnia-Hercegovina. In that small village, it was claimed that the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, had been appearing daily to six children since June 1981. The apparitions continue to this day, and all of the visionaries have now grown up, married, and are raising families of their own. The Queen of Peace, as Mary identified herself in Medjugorje, remains.
Mary, Matrix of Change: Personal and Global Transformation through the Rosary is the story of Michele Maxwell’s personal experience visiting the apparition site, and especially the hallmark phenomenon of rosaries “changing” from silver-toned metal to “gold” in that place. Drawing from her knowledge of transpersonal psychology, quantum physics, and integral philosophy, the author delivers an innovative yet accessible book that is an insightful treatment of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Rosary. Meditating upon the twenty rosary mysteries can serve, the author writes, “as a remarkable tool for spiritual transformation and the evolution of consciousness so desperately needed on our planet today.”
In Mary’s words, “With prayer even the laws of nature can be suspended,” and the author saw evidence of that again and again, both alone and in large groups of pilgrims who witnessed “miracles” en masse. The recurring theme then, and now within the pages of this uplifting book, is “Pray, pray, pray.” By far, the most amazing conversion wrought through prayer is the transformation of the human person. Medjugorje is a modern-day sign of this miracle of inner change.
MICHELE MAXWELL earned her Master’s degree in Theology from St. Mary’s University, studied fiction and playwriting at Harvard, and pursued a law degree at the University of Texas. She is the founder and director of the Marian Center of San Antonio, a non-profit organization dedicated to Catholic spirituality with a focus on the messages of Mary, Queen of Peace in Medjugorje. The author has also edited a monthly spiritual journal, River of Light, for the past sixteen years while speaking and organizing national conferences and pilgrimages. She lives and works in the historic downtown area of San Antonio, Texas.

Maryland: The Story Continues
By Bill Hart
My first book, Lord Baltimore’s Dream, set the stage for the sequel, The Story Continues. In the first book a great deal of European history was used to explain why and how the state of Maryland came into being, and the important role both Maryland and the city of Baltimore played in the history of this country. Through the story of the of the Kerr family, I explained why people would leave their homes and lives to venture into an unknown, primitive, and dangerous land. We have been told that religious intolerance and class prejudice were the primary reasons, but through my story we learned that most people who came here, came for very personal reasons. We also learned that those who came here created all of the same societal problems they tried to leave behind.
In this book the story of Maryland continues as the Kerr family lives through all of the trials and tribulations of a new but maturing country. Sectionalism, slavery, war, economic catastrophe, prejudice and hypocrisy would profoundly affect the Kerr family and nearly destroy the country. All of these events, along with a family legend dating back to the family’s patriarch, lead to a very exciting ending. For those who read my first book and were left with loose ends, will find then all tied together in the second book.

Medical Pathways to Healing
This book is not designed to take the place of doctors, or medicine. It is designed to help both the believer and nonbeliever find scriptures that will help them overcome their illness and disease. I believe there is a spiritual and a physical healing. When the spiritual aspect of an individual’s life becomes healed then the physical begins to experience healing also.

Mepham High School
Mepham High School is a highly-detailed, well-written story that occurred during the nineteen forties which takes the reader on a journey in time and culture that captures interest and attention. All incidents and much of the dialogue are accurate. Names are fictitious except for Jack Solomons, Sal D’Angelo’s best friend who edited several of his books.
Though the story includes Mepham losing its one hundred first wrestling match after a hundred consecutive wins, it is about Sal D’Angelo’s high school life. Though an intelligent regent student, he has trouble with school work because of attention deficit disorder and his difficulty adjusting to teen behavior.
Sal also has trouble coping with his dysfunctional parents. An outstanding flutist as a staff musician playing on NBC and CBS, Dad is egotistical, materialistic, and conservative. He is also domineering, unjust and stern. Catering to Dad’s chauvinistic ways, Mom is unhappy. Treated like a slave, because of Dad’s income, she tolerates him, often bragging to musician friends about never washing a dish. Nor does either parent praise Sal or his sister about anything.
Though loving and possessing a good personality, Sal is bashful with girls, especially since most belong to cliques that associate with boys with varsity letters in sports. Nevertheless, naively curious about the world and stunned while listening to news about the casualties during World War II, he eventually develops an iconoclastic way of thinking, yet with a sense of humor. Absentmindedly noting little things around him like leaves on trees, insects, and the ballerinas printed in the wall paper at home suggests that Sal isn’t as maladjusted as he thinks. In fact, he is like most teens his age.
