Hi Folks,

It really is with mixed feelings of sadness and joy that I am
writing to you in this newsletter. The sadness is due to the passing
of the second anniversary of the NY Trade Centre and the joy is in
the exciting news of our new releases.

Firstly, two thoughts that touched me and made me reflect on
September 11 ... one organisation, a bond trading company and one of
the largest in the States, lost over 600 people on that day. That is
90% of its staff! They have subsequently bounced back and now have
committed 25% of their profits to go to the families that have been
left behind.

The second was the reading aloud of the names of all those who were
lost that day. I calculated that it would have taken about an hour
and a half to do that. An hour and a half! One name after another,
one person after another. How futile war is. On the other hand, how
many heroes stepped forward to do a job above and beyond.

Upon that note, I have decided to include a story in this newsletter
of another hero from over sixty years ago. He was only twenty-nine.

And now the good news … the new releases that are coming off the
presses and the one you all have been waiting for. Tony Bushby's
sequel to *The Bible Fraud* is soon to be released. Yes, it's really
coming (see below) and we will be taking pre-release orders very
soon. I will let you know how to reserve your copy in the next
newsletter.

In the meantime, put on your thinking cap and send an email to
admin@joshuabooks.com on "How my life changed after reading The Bible
Fraud". The winning entry will receive the first copy of *The Secret
in the Bible* as soon as it comes off the press compliments of Joshua
Books!

Now, on with the newsletter ....

1) QUICK QUOTES

"Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt,
kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to
evaporate."

-- Dr. Albert Schweitzer, 1875-1965, Medical Missionary and Nobel
Prize Winner

"If you don't have a vision for the future, then your future is
threatened to be a repeat of the past."

--A.R. Bernard, Clergyman

"Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it
behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant
of time. From this moment onwards, you can be an entirely different
person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an
outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed."

-- Eileen Caddy, Spiritual Writer & co-founder of Findhorn, Scotland

2) ONLY 29

World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant
Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the US
aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.

One particular day, his entire squadron was sent on a mission
leaving the Lexington unguarded.

After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that
someone in his support crew had forgotten to top up his fuel tank. He
would not have enough fuel to complete the mission and get back to
the Lexington. His flight leader ordered him to return to the
carrier.

Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the
fleet.

As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned
his blood cold. A squadron of Japanese aircraft were speeding their
way toward the American fleet.

The American fighters were all gone on the sortie, and the fleet was
all but defenceless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them
back in time to save the fleet nor could he warn the fleet of the
approaching danger.

There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the
fleet.

Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the
formation of Japanese planes. Wing mounted 50 calibre machine guns
blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then
another.

Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as
many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.

Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying
to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as
possible and rendering them unfit to fly.

Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another
direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter
limped back to the carrier where, upon arrival, he reported in and
related the event surrounding his return.

The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It
showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet and
that he had in fact destroyed five enemy aircraft.

This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch
became the US Navy's first Ace of WW II, and the first US Naval
Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honour.

A year later, Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29.

His hometown would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade,
and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the
courage of this great man. So the next time you find yourself at
O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial
displaying his statue and his Medal of Honour. It's located between
Terminals 1 and 2.

3) WHAT'S NEW IN NUMEROLOGY?

We have four new books on Numerology in the pipeline including two
by myself. I will update you on these titles a little closer to
release date.

Being a numerologist, I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge
available through your birth date. I never use computers when I am
doing profiles and cannot see how a science like Numerology can be
presented via a $50.00 program from your local department store.

You are a unique individual. There is no one in the world like you
and the numerological interpretations that are revealed through the
numbers in your date of birth and your name are unique and powerful.
They need to be analyzed by an expert and with a great degree of
intuitive input. I have never seen a computer with intuition yet.

If you would like to talk to me about this subject, you can contact
me directly on john@joshuabooks.com

4) MAREE MOORE'S NEW BOOK

Have you read *The Masters of the Mystical Rose* from Maree Moore?
Maree recently was interviewed on The James Whale Show and the sales
of this book have reached a new level. It is all about the ascended
Masters who have directed and shaped the world through some of the
most prominent people in our history. Visit our website to find out
more about this book which was recently reviewed and acclaimed in
Nexus Magazine.

Her first book will be followed up by Maree,s new book *The Dove,
The Rose and The Sceptre* which is all about the Holy Grail and the
Ark of the Covenant. We expect to have this informative book out in
early December as it is now in the hands of the author for final
editing.

We will keep you posted and, as is our usual practice, newsletter
readers will be given the opportunity to buy a copy before general
release.

********************************

5) FLOWERS

I placed a few quotes from Eskandar deVos' new book *Flowers from
the Tree of Wisdom* in our last newsletter. The book has been
released and is now available to the world.

This book is a beautiful gift item as well as a book that you would
be happy to have on your desk or by your bedside for those times when
you need inspiration. The sayings featured are regarded as one of the
best collections ever put together.

The web page is being finalized now for direct ordering but in the
meantime, you can email Nick in our Sales Dept directly on
sales@joshuabooks.com

********************************

6) THAT SEQUEL … IT'S HERE

At last it is revealed … *The Secret in the Bible*.

I have been privileged to read a copy of the manuscript from Tony
Bushby and the contents are mind blowing. I expected a book that
would be very special in its content but I am still reeling from the
information, which is presented for the first time. Tony's writings
are quite extraordinary and this book is destined for the top.

This is the one that all readers of *The Bible Fraud* have been
waiting for. We receive email after email (and letters and phone
calls too) asking when this book will be available.

The long awaited book from Tony Bushby is almost here and we know
that the first print run will be sold out in a matter of weeks.
Shortly, the book will posted on our website but before it is, we
will be giving you, as one of our newsletter recipients, the
opportunity to beat the rush and reserve their very own copy (details
in the next newsletter).

I could go on and on as I am so excited. I am also sworn to secrecy.
Price and release date will be available within a couple of weeks.

*The Bible Fraud* continues to sell extremely well and I would
suggest that your reading of the new book will be more enjoyable if
you have read this book first. If you do not have a copy on your
bookshelf, why not consider buying one. This international best
seller is a must have and it is also available in a case bound (hard
cover) version. Visit our website for details or go directly to
http://www.thebiblefraud.com

********************************
7) OPPORTUNITY TO WIN

As I mentioned in my opening preamble, Joshua Books are giving all
our newsletter readers the opportunity to win a copy of Tony's second
book *The Secret in the Bible* by submitting a short article (500
words or less) with the subject "How my life changed after reading
*The Bible Fraud*". The winner will receive the first copy off the
press. Send your submissions directly to admin@joshuabooks.com

I will cover further details about this opportunity in the next
newsletter.

********************************

8) AXIOMS

To finish on a light note, here are some sayings to chuckle over …

* He, who laughs last, thinks slowest.
* A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
* Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
* Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
* I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
* You can't have everything, where would you put it.
* Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
* I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

********************************

Well, that's it for another issue.

Oh, before I go. The new automatic service for the newsletter is
up an running and we will be fine-tuning it over the coming weeks.
