Animals as Teachers and Healers
True Stories and Reflections

Susan Chernak McElroy

$13.95

What a journey this book is! And what a warm and invigorating reminder of the goodness with which our Earth was created. Susan McElroy began her journey toward writing this book when she discovered that she had cancer. As a part of her healing, she reconnected with her love for animals and forged links between herself and the animal kingdom that she had previously forgotten she had even wanted. In this process, she also spoke to and listened to others, gathering story after story about the amazing love and care that is possible between humans and animals and between animals and animals. The result is a book that nourishes the readers soul as it brings yet another drop of healing to the strife between human beings and the natural world. A wonderful gift for yourself, teenagers and adults!

Animals as Guides for the Soul

Susan Chernak McElroy

$13.95

Although Susan McElroy thought her work was done when she published Animals as Teachers and Healers, the truth is that it was only beginning. It soon became clear to her that many people longed for the loving connection to the animal world which she offered and that the animal world in turn had even deeper wisdom and healing to offer. In Animals as Guides for the Soul, McElroy has created a passionate and eloquent portrait of the truths and revelations she and others have experienced in their daily encounters with animals. As she reminds us, the fingerprint of God is often a pawprint. Teens and adults will love this book!

Conversations with Animals
Cherished Messages and Memories as Told by an Animal Communicator

Lydia Hiby
with Bonnie S. Weintraub

$13.95

Lydia Hiby, pictured on the cover of her book as a four-year-old deep in conversation with her goose friend, did what most of us do - she emerged from a childhood wherein she was in constant communication with all creation and promptly forgot that she or anyone could ever "talk to the animals." Imagine her surprise when she - by now a confirmed skeptic - discovered that she still knew how! Conversations with Animals is much more than the story of this rediscovery, it is a deep account of the lives of animals told by a wonderfully warm and modest soul. Lydia's insights are all the more penetrating because she truly knows how to stand aside and let the animal speak for itself. You'll love this book!

When Elephants Weep
The Emotional Lives of Animals

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
with Susan McCarthy

$16.00

I think I'll let Jane Goodall (whom I have loved and admired since childhood) tell you about this book:

This is not only an important book, it is marvelous! If animals could read they would be filled with joy and gratitude to the authors - as I am. It is scholarly, vivid, and compelling. Please read it.

This is a truly great book - I also hope you will read it.

Dogs Never Lie About Love
Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

$14.00

Myth, literature, scientific studies, personal stories, observation and just plain LOVE guide the reader through the surprising depth of canine emotional complexity, revealing what dog lovers have always known, that our 'best friends' have a wonderful and rich inner landscape. The author's own three dogs are the centerpieces of the book and lead the way in his exploration of a wide range of subjects - from emotions like gratitude, compassion, loneliness, and disappointment to speculating what dogs dream of and how their powerful sense of smell shapes their perception of reality. As he sweeps aside old prejudices about animal behavior, Masson reaches into a rich universe of dog feeling to find its essential core: love. A great, soul-warming journey.
