In 'Frank Merriwell's Endurance; or, A Square Shooter' by Burt L. Standish, readers are immersed in the exciting world of young adult fiction filled with themes of perseverance, integrity, and sportsmanship. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the novel follows Frank Merriwell's unwavering determination to overcome adversity and maintain his moral compass while navigating various challenges. Standish's writing style is engaging, with vivid descriptions and authentic dialogue that capture the spirit of the era. Burt L. Standish, a pseudonym for author Gilbert Patten, drew inspiration for the character of Frank Merriwell from the cultural fascination with the American sporting hero. Standish's background in journalism and his interest in the moral development of youth likely influenced his creation of a character who embodies the ideals of strength, honor, and fair play. I highly recommend 'Frank Merriwell's Endurance; or, A Square Shooter' to readers who enjoy classic adventure stories with a focus on character development and ethical decision-making. This novel is not only entertaining but also offers valuable life lessons that remain relevant today.

A perennial self-help favorite, updated to speak powerfully to contemporary readers and with a foreword by Eckhart Tolle Before there was The Law of Attraction or The Secret, there was The Magic in Your Mind by U. S. Andersen. Eckhart Tolle recognized the brilliance of this self-empowerment classic and here presents it anew as the latest volume in his imprint. In clear, crisp, invigorating language, Andersen offers a liberating message for anyone seeking to improve and understand their life. He shows how to: • free your “Secret Self” and experience self-mastery • use mental visualization • understand the concept of “mind over matter” • fully employ your power of choice • overcome opposition with tools such as the innate sixth sense Andersen outlines a “mental magic” that makes it possible to attain goals in any field — one made evident by his own many successes in a variety of enterprises. “Here,” he promises, “you will learn the secret way in which your mind is tied to the source of all power; you will learn how you are capable of becoming anything and doing anything you can visualize.” An essential addition to any spirituality/self-help bookshelf or night table, The Magic in Your Mindinvites you to experience your innate creative mental power that’s just waiting to be unleashed. “Open randomly to any page, start reading, and you most likely won’t want to put it down. As with all spiritual classics, this will be the case even if you have already read the book several times.” — from the foreword by Eckhart Tolle, bestselling author of The Power of Now
