Bloodtrue, Blood See It Through

Daytime was fine. Just a mother and daughter, getting by. But when the little one went to sleep, the nights got long and lonely.

Her stepdad always told her she didn’t need anyone but Angie, her roommate at the time. Easy for him to say, with his own wife right there beside him.

Life played a cruel joke. She didn’t know anyone who could’ve played the hand she was dealt. Pick one person over another and suddenly you’re an outcast. No shoulder to cry on.

The trials and tribulations made her stronger—but God, it took everything. She went to depths most people never see. Held onto her sanity by a thread. If it weren’t for the kids, she says she’d be writing this from a padded cell.

Years and understanding and a whole lot of hard-won knowledge got her here. Close friends and relatives saw it all happen. Now she’s asking for a few more people to witness it—you.

So read the book. She enjoyed writing it. Maybe you’ll find something in it too.

Just Peace

A vivid near-death experience after surviving a head-on car collision at the age of 22—of which he was the only survivor—put the author’s deeply religious upbringing into question. While out of body for several minutes, he recalls a complete absence of thought, emotion, opinions, or concerns; his experience was of pure awareness.

Seeking explanations in science, religion, and philosophy, he discovered a continuity throughout the teachings of the ancient peace traditions, which fulfilled nearly 30 years of searching.

In this deeply revealing book, McSperitt shares the Ancients’ obscured perspectives on life, health, and peace, illuminating the origins and intent of all faith and peace traditions and their teachings on subjects ranging from lifestyle to finances and beyond.

The guided meditation in which this existential treatise culminates streamlines the fundamental philosophy of the founders of the ancient peace traditions into one simple, pure, and natural prescription for peace, as documented by historians both ancient and modern and supported by scientific discovery.
