Heidi A. Jurka escorts us on a captivating adventure of blissful consciousness expansion mixed with dire real-life challenges. Her intuitive glimmerings as a child living in the Hudson Valley in New York evolved to her becoming a professional psychic by her early 20's living in California. Heidi awakened bolt upright one morning to an absolute certainty that she must return to NY. She arrived just in time to attend unprecedented classes offered by Dr. Andrija Puharich, renowned parapsychologist, physicist, author and inventor in Ossining, NY. Puharich was most well known for bringing intuitive/telekinesis expert Uri Geller to the USA, whose skilled were studied, tested and ultimately validated at Stanford Research Institute by the CIA in 1973. As the classes continued Puharich interviewed Heidi about her own extensive psychic experiences. In 1977 she was invited to participate in mind-travel Faraday Cage sessions facilitated by Puharich. Dubbed one of his "space kids," she was his assistant and study subject for over two years during important events including the Mind Link and the Pachita Project in Mexico City. She credits telepathy for her escape from the devastating fire at his home/lab in 1978. Heidi's lifelong journey of resiliency before and after these events along with amazingly positive and decisive synchronicities will keep her readers enthralled.

Do you want to know what the future holds? Not from a “fortune teller” standpoint, but as to what God says is coming down the pike whether we like it or not. His predictions are 100% accurate, 100% of the time. Why do we seldom hear sermons from the Book of Revelation? Because most preachers and teachers prefer to avoid controversy. And, since there are a number of interpretations, they say it is best to ignore them all. But think about this- one-fourth of the New Testament is composed of prophecy! Does God want us to ignore one-fourth of the New Testament? No! As the book Finally Home explains, taking a literal interpretation of Scripture clears up virtually all of the controversy. In other words, God knows how to communicate and He lays out clearly His master plan for the end of the age. For unbelievers many of the scenes are painful, but for the Christian you are missing out if you are not looking for the outstanding times that await you! Finally Home tells you what to expect in the end times. It shows you the big picture so that, as world politics change, you will not be taken unawares. It will give you the encouragement to stand firm as the world continues to grow dark, knowing that your faithfulness and perseverance will deliver you --Finally Home!

Thomas Jefferson developed the idea for the Virginia State Penitentiary and set the standard for the future of the American prison system. Designed by U.S. Capitol and White House architect Benjamin Latrobe, the "Pen" opened its doors in 1800. Vice President Aaron Burr was incarcerated there in 1807 as he awaited trial for treason. The prison endured severe overcrowding, three fires, an earthquake and numerous riots. More than 240 prisoners were executed there by electric chair. At one time, the ACLU called it the "most shameful prison in America." The institution was plagued by racial injustice, eugenics experiments and the presence of children imprisoned among adults. Join author Dale Brumfield as he charts the 190-year history of the iconic prison.
