The Neville Collection: All 10 Books by a Modern Master
2022 Reprint and exact facsimile of the original editions, not reproduced with Optical Recognition. Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905 - 1972), generally known as Neville, was a Barbadian New Thought author and mystic who wrote on the Bible and esotericism. He is considered one of the pioneers of the law of assumption. Goddard viewed the Bible as a parable of the human psyche as opposed to a record of historical events. He argued that the Bible had to be interpreted as guidebook to enlightenment and personal power. Therefore, Goddard did not believe in an external God who answers prayers, but rather that each of us is a creator of their lives.
Neville's thought is often considered to be akin to solipsism, nondualism and Advaita Vedanta, especially considering that he stated different times that "everyone is yourself pushed out", alluding at the fact that only God exists and everything else is an extension of said God. Goddard thought that through this "truth", people could create their own reality by assuming the "feeling of the wish fulfilled", hence, the term "law of assumption".
The author also believed that death is an illusion and thought that, once "dead", people would be "restored" in the same life they lived again, in a similar way to the Nietzschean version of the concept of the eternal return, until they experienced enlightenment and became one with God, a concept that he referred to as "God's Promise".
The Neville Collection includes, in chronological order, the complete texts of all of Neville's books:
At Your Command (1939)
Your Faith Is Your Fortune (1941)
Freedom for All (1942)
Feeling Is the Secret (1944)
Prayer: The Art of Believing (1945)
Out of this World & The Search (1949)
The Power of Awareness (1952)
Awakened Imagination (1954)
Seedtime and Harvest (1956)
The Law and the Promise (1961)

Miracle in the Hills: the Lively Personal Story of a Woman Doctor's Forty Year Crusade in the Mountains of North Carolina
Dr. Sloop and her husband began their lifelong dedication to the mountain people when they rode horseback into the remote hill region of North Carolina in 1909. The conditions they encountered were shockingly primitive. The people had neither doctors, nor schools and were suspicious of medicine and "larnin'." Electricity and running water were unheard of, roads were rough mountain paths and the diet consisted of "hog meat, greens and grease." The main industry was moon shining.
Dr. Sloop declared a personal war on moonshiners, tracking down hidden still with a reluctant sheriff in tow. She fought against child marriages and in a region where girls often married at the age of fourteen. With the help of the mountain people, she reinvigorated the weaving trade, built a church and a modern well equipped hospital. Her spirited support of education resulted in a modern twenty-five-building school.
An amazing story of a unique crusade in the hill country of North Carolina.

Of Dice and Men
Updated with new chapters and an introduction for the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, the fascinating and authoritative history of Dungeons & Dragons that "tracks D&D's turbulent rise, fall, and survival, from its heyday in the 1980s...to the 21st century" (The Wall Street Journal), by award-winning journalist David M. Ewalt. Even if you've never played Dungeons & Dragons, you probably know someone who has: the game has had a profound influence on our culture, and 2014 marks the intriguing role-playing phenomenon's 40th anniversary. Released decades before the Internet and social media, Dungeons & Dragons inspired one of the original nerd subcultures and is still revered by more than 30 million fans. Now, the authoritative history and magic of the game are revealed by an award-winning journalist and lifelong D&D player. In Of Dice and Men, David Ewalt describes the development of Dungeons & Dragons from the game's origins on the battlefields of ancient Europe through the hysteria that linked it to satanic rituals and teen suicides to its apotheosis as father of the modern video-game industry. As he chronicles the surprising history of the game's origins (a history largely unknown even to hardcore players) and examines D&D's lasting impact, Ewalt weaves laser-sharp subculture analysis with his own present-day gaming experiences, "writing about the world of fantasy role-playing junkies with intelligence, dexterity, and even wisdom" (Ken Jennings). An enticing blend of history, journalism, narrative, and memoir, Of Dice and Men sheds light on America's most popular form of collaborative entertainment. -
The Black Woman's Guide to Coping with Stress: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Skills to Create a Life of Joy and Well-Being
Do you feel like you're doing it all for everyone--all the time? Written by a Black woman for Black women, this book offers mindful self-awareness practices to help you prioritize self-care, soothe stress, and create a life of joy, fulfillment, and well-being.
As a Black woman, do you often feel an intense pressure to do it all? To be a kind of "superwoman" who never lets others down? Do you feel compelled to hide your own emotions for fear of being vulnerable or appearing weak? If so, you are not alone. Our culture tells us in many ways that Black women must be strong and unwavering for their community, family, friends, and partners. But at what cost? If you're feeling the effects of stress and burnout, this book can help you find balance.
In The Black Woman's Guide to Coping with Stress, Black psychologist and registered nurse Cheryl Woods Giscombe introduces the innovative, research-based superwoman schema (SWS) framework--five core beliefs that drive Black women's stress--and provides self-care practices grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to help you live a life of joy and greater well-being.
In this empowering guide, you'll identify the core beliefs that may be contributing to your experience of stress--that you must always be strong, hide your emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed even in the face of inadequate resources, and always help others while neglecting self-care. You'll learn how these beliefs can lead to burnout and a feeling of imbalance in your life. And finally, you'll discover how to harness the strengths within these beliefs, so they no longer cause you harm.
There's nothing wrong with being strong--but sometimes it's essential to "take off your superwoman cape," recharge, and prioritize self-care. You are worth it. This book will help you gain the self-awareness you need to stay balanced and live your very best life.

Trauma and the 12 Steps, Revised and Expanded: An Inclusive Guide to Enhancing Recovery
An inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery. Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what? 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today. Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich's approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth. Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that:- Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse
- Celebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folks
- Welcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction research
- Explains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; and
- Discusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.

Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues
A BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A transformative guide to building more fulfilling relationships with colleagues, friends, partners, and family, based on the landmark Interpersonal Dynamics ("Touchy-Feely") course at Stanford's Graduate School of Business "Full of thoughtful, actionable advice on showing vulnerability, setting healthy boundaries, earning and restoring trust, handling feedback and conflict, and building and strengthening relationships."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential The ability to create strong relationships with others is crucial to living a full life and becoming more effective at work. Yet many of us find ourselves struggling to build solid personal and professional connections or unable to handle challenges that inevitably arise when we grow closer to others. When we find ourselves in an exceptional relationship--the kind of relationship in which we feel fully understood and supported for who we are--it can seem like magic. But the truth is that the process of building and sustaining these relationships can be described, learned, and applied. David Bradford and Carole Robin taught interpersonal skills to MBA candidates for a combined seventy-five years in their legendary Stanford Graduate School of Business course Interpersonal Dynamics (affectionately known to generations of students as "Touchy-Feely") and have coached and consulted hundreds of executives for decades. In Connect, they show readers how to take their relationships from shallow to exceptional by cultivating authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty, while being willing to ask for and offer help, share a commitment to growth, and deal productively with conflict. Filled with relatable scenarios and research-backed insights, Connect is an important resource for anyone hoping to improve existing relationships and build new ones at any stage of life. -
