Fatima Prophecy
In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, the Virgin Mary delivered a prophecy to a little girl. She shared it with the church hierarchy, but no public reading of it has ever been made. Years later, a psychic among a small group of Fatima devotees, channeled a series of revelations so alarming that the group understood why the Church never announced the words of the Fatima miracle. That channel was Ray Stanford, who works in the prophetic traditions of Edgar Cacye. His readings of the Marian Apparitions at Fatima--and at Beauraing, Garabandal, and Zeitoun--are now presented in their entirety. They involve the future of humanity as we know it.

I Too Had a Dream
Architect of 'Operation Flood', the largest dairy development programme in the world, Dr Verghese Kurien has enabled India to become the largest milk producer in the world. A man with a rare vision, Dr Kurien has devoted a lifetime to realising his dream - empowering the farmers of India. He has engineered the milk cooperative movement in India. It was a sheer quirk of fate that landed him in Anand where a small group of farmers were forming a cooperative, Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited (better known as Amul), to sell their milk. Intrigued by the integrity and commitment of their leader Tribhuvandas Patel, Dr Kurien joined them. Since then there has been no looking back. The 'Anand pattern of cooperatives' was so successful that, at the request of the Government of India, he set up the National Dairy Development Board to replicate it across India. He also established the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation to market its products. In these memoirs, Dr Verghese Kurien, popularly known as the 'father of the white revolution', recounts, with customary candour, the story of his life and how he shaped the dairy industry.
