Includes Foreword; Author Index; Date Index and About Guideposts. Also includes a bound-into-the-volume forest green satin ribbon page marker. "Christmas is all about a story, the story of a baby born to humble parents in a tiny Bethlehem stable under a brilliant eastern star -- a story that changed the world forever. So it comes as no surprise that some of Guideposts magazine's greatest stories about about Christmas, and how people are inspired and lives are changed at this blessed time of year. For there is a resonance from that birth that echoes through time and through our very hearts. Every story in this collection is proof of the enduring power of that first Christmas, true personal accounts of transformation told by ordinary people . and not -so-ordinary people. You will read about blessings, traditions, forgiveness, love, faith, giving, miracles, and angles. All the themes that make this season truly holy. Have you ever felt lonely at Christmas? Widower Jimmy Gupton did, until he took in a struggling young married couple with a baby on the way. Jimmy learned that there is always room at the inn, and always a reason to go on living. A copywriter who yearns to give gifts that really mean something has her prayer answered in a way she could have never imagined. A single mom struggling to raise two young daughters discovers the power of a puppy to soothe hurting hearts. A firefighter's vivid and disturbing dream saves a family from death on Christmas Eve. Then there is the account of a mysterious disappearance of the Christ Child from the manger scened at Victory Church. Who could have done such a thing? You'll be surprised to find out. I was. Almost as surprised as I was to learn how writer Kitty Slattery's missing tooth led her to a deeper understanding of the Christmas spirit. There are familiar names too. Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart will tell you why it really is "a wonderful life" and what that classic holiday movie meant to him on the most personal level. Celebrated ornament-maker Christopher Radko introduces you to his Polish grandmother and explains how the desire not to disappoint her led him to design his first beautiful creations. Beloved actor Michael Landon talks about the angels in his life, human and otherwise. My favorite holiday stories, though, come from our "His Mysterious Ways" feature -- year in and year out the most popular page in the magazine. Here you will meet people from all walks of life who have experienced something inexplicable, even miraculous, at Christmastime -- incredible stories that will send a shiver down your spine and warm your heart as well. This book is filled with stories you will never forget from the little magazine that has inspired millions of readers for sixty years. So go ahead, start reading, and find out why Guideposts is America's favorite magazine, especially at Christmas. -- Edward Grinnan, editor-in-chief, Guideposts." -- from the Foreword.

Staple Bound Pamphlet. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Original set (not the 2007 reprint), complete, of the 20 pamphlets comprising the Great Bear Pamphlet series, a side project of Dick Higgins's Something Else press, designed to bring the avant garde to the masses in affordable doses. Noted Higgins, as quoted on dickhiggins(dot)org: "On my desk was a folder of Alison Knowles' performance pieces, too free for a book but enough to make an attractive unit of some kind. "Why not," I thought, "make a series of 16-page pamphlets, miniatures in a sense of our books, and (hopefully) as refreshing as this water I'm drinking?" Thus began our Great Bear Pamphlet series. Sometimes the books were too expensive for our friends to buy, but the pamphlets? Not really, though to hear our friends talk one wouldn't believe that. The first ten pamphlets parallel the books we were doing, for the most part - small works by Alison Knowles, myself, George Brecht, Claes Oldenburg, Allan Kaprow, Wolf Vostell, Jackson MacLow and a collection of manifestos by all kinds of interesting people having common only their innovative thinking - Öyvind Fahlström, Bob Watts, the W.E.B. DuBois clubs (a communist youth group, though we were scarcely communists), Nam June Paik, Ay-O, John Giorno, Diter Rot (as Dieter Roth then spelled his name), and others. Later, in 1968-69, a generous friend made possible a second series too, works by Filliou, David Antin, Bengt af Klintberg, Luigi Russolo, Diter Rot and others. The pamphlets, all twenty of them, were able to get places that the larger books couldn't. For example, in the late 1960's they were sold from a rack beside the produce stand at the Berkeley Co-op in Berkeley, California; we were always delighted by the notion of a shopping basket containing ice cream, the makings of a good salad - and our pamphlets!" -- Dick Higgins, "The Something Else Press: Notes for a History to Be Written Some Day," New Lazarus Review, Vol. 2, No.1, Utica: New York, 1979". The pamphlets exist in at least two states, the earliest listing on the back cover up to ten titles, sometimes others in preparation, the later state listing the entire set. Printings are, to this cataloguer, impossible to determine. All but Manifestos (32 pages) are 16 pages, each on different color paper; the Cage pamphlet is printed in several colors & typefaces. All show very light wear, flaws noted. Complete set, comprised of: Knowles, Alison. [no title]. 1965. Compilation of her performance pieces. Later state. Higgins, Dick.
