The source of the words of this book are both The Course In Miracles and The Holy Bible combined to help the reader better understand their own place in the spiritual world, and their relationship to God. Intrigued by the notion that we all are teachers, the author, an English teacher, studied these words for many years until she understood the truth and holy wisdom of the concept of A Teacher of God.

Seasons is a book of spiritual meditations adapted to the seasons. Winter is a dark, reflective time, spring is a time of transition, newness. Summer is a time of fulfilling relationship; and Fall is a time of abundance and fruition. Like nature, we go through spiritual seasons: times of grief, disconnection, fear, transition, growth, fulfillment, gratitude, acceptance and peace. In all seasons, we can reflect on the wonder of Gods love, and as His children, find gratitude, acceptance, peace, and, finally, true happiness. God is the love in which we live out all our seasons of time.

Holy Relationships offers a whole new spiritual perspective for couples who are making or renewing a commitment to each other.

"Holy Relationships is like having a wise and gentle counselor willing to tell you what truly nourishes a relationship, with less tension and more freedom from fear of loss." - Mally Cox-Chapman, author, The Case far Heaven

Author, Christine A. Adams, maintains that we can find joy, and spread the joyful message of creation, by seeing beyond the human, negative perspective of loss, violence, and death. We can develop the ability to "reframe" any negative perceptions by using positive spiritual tools of gratitude, acceptance, humility, peace, and love. Joy does not come "to us" but it comes from "within us". Gods will for us is joy. The Spiritual Way of Life Series includes six books on Gratitude, Acceptance, Humility, Love, Peace, and Joy written by Christine Adams and MD Hanley.

Written in the style of Mitch Alboms, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, The School Factory by Christine Adams switches time from present day, to the past and into the future. The commanding day is June 10th. The primary storyteller, Jenny Anderson, a loved senior English teacher. As the story opens, "Mrs. A." is in a head-on collision on her way to the graduation. In her unconscious state, she traces the year flashing back to events involving a dozen students. Their issues include illiteracy, early pregnancy, learning disabilities, crime, homosexuality, sexual perversion, racial bias, alcoholism and drug addiction. The conflict - their "real" human issues versus the "inhumane" school institution. By symbolically making all kids "products" tracked on different conveyor belts - in the factory, the author rips open the heart and soul of Heritage High.Throughout the novel, the conflict between the human needs of the teens and the rules of the factory builds. Some kids drop off the conveyor belt; one, Jim Bartlett, chooses suicide as his way out. In the last thread of the novel, the dying teacher meets Jim Bartlett. With Jim, now as her teacher, she experiences a true "TIMELESSNESS". She sees her students in their future lives. By expanding time, the author is able to help the teacher and the reader make sense of the incongruity and emptiness of a typical year in the school factory.
