Fiction
What would you do with three wishes?
Genies haven’t been heard from in quite a long while. Join “The Wanderer” as he finally finds what he’s been wishing for: a Genie, and the chance for three wishes. The Genie, however, offers him something more than the standard deal. Three chances to edit each wish and foresee the consequences. He’s given room to stay, food to enjoy, and plenty of time to decide exactly what he does – and doesn’t – want. The only real decision is whether to be careful about what to wish for.

Classic Texts
Armenia and the War
An Armenian’s Point of View with an Appeal to Britain and the Coming Peace Conference
Author: A. P. Hacobian
Foreword: O. M. Bryce
All profits from this book will be donated toward Armenian relief until the end of the current war.
Written in 1917, towards the end of World War 1 and during a time of immense strife for the Armenian people known as The Armenian Genocide, “Armenia and The War” implores the reader to examine the events of the preceding few years. In Hacobian’s own words, “That is my plea for placing this statement of the cause of my afflicted country before the British public, confident that, with its inherent love of fair play, it will give my pleading a fair hearing.”
Covered, in order, are: Armenia as a war issue, effect on American opinion, Armenia and reparation, Armenia’s martyrdom, condemnation, Anglo-Russian friendship, Turkish rule, Armenian democratic tendencies, Armenia as a peace problem, Armenia alone, Armenia’s services during the war (World War 1), Armenia as a battleground for contending empires, excerpts from “The Blue Book,” an appeal to Britain, and an appeal to the coming peace conference.
The Sixth Sense
Its cultivation and Use
Author: Charles Brent
Editor: Edward Griggs
This lively and deeply spiritual work explores what the author calls ‘The Sixth Sense’ or ‘The Mystic Sense.’ Unlike the five main senses – which he regards as forms of specialized touch – this sense permeates, effects, and guides the others. While the others are pure perception, the Sixth Sense also encompasses an area outside the realm of physical perception. For some this is divinity, for others it’s spirituality, for yet others it’s some other grand purpose.
This text explores this Mystic Sense as it relates to: Health, Thought, Character, and Religion.

The Seven Purposes
An Experience in Psychic Phenomena
Author : Margaret Cameron
The Seven Purposes is a hopeful text, expounding that humanity must inevitably become better. Even through times of great strife, such as the then-occurring World War I, humanity can learn to improve itself and defeat evil.
This book is about purpose, unity, and force. The purpose of each individual person, the purpose of all people, and the purpose of all souls working together. And, with purpose comes force – the force to enact change.
From there, the author and the spirits break down the world into two essential forces – creation and destruction. Creation is a force of good. All things that destroy (that we see as evil) inevitably must become good and work towards progress in the next life. However, the groundwork laid here can make the next life easier and more fulfilling at the start, without the long slog of learning needed to begin the great work.
The main cast are recently-passed spirits imploring the now-living humans to be better, making the work in the next life easier and helping all the souls currently in existence. They communicate at times with automatic writing, and at other times with a planchette (as in a Ouija Board).
Part 1 of this book deals heavily with the methodology of their communication, as well as the personal nature of the initial messages. Part 2 lays out the lessons learned from those who have passed on. Part 3 details the greater implications of these communications and wraps up a few hanging questions from Part 1.
