Little Angels With Horns

Little Angels . . . with Horns is a celebration of childhood and its blossoming into the age of tweens. This word is a recent addition to the English language and refers to the ages between nine and twelve. It is recent because it didnt exist as a distinctive age in the past: we went from childhood, to teenage-hood, and then adulthood. For the purposes of clarity, this book refers to children between the ages of nine to fourteen and is about helping todays children grow into well-balanced adults within this exciting yet perplexing world.

The real-life stories of the novice monks in Little Angels reflect the lives of many youths in rural Thailand who are trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty, broken homes, illiteracy and drug abuse. When all else fails, Buddhism becomes their last resort: providing them with physical shelter and spiritual refuge. It heals their childhood traumas and gives them a moral framework for living and a better outlook on life. Each individual story, heartrending as it may be, subtly shows what Phra Peter sees and hopes to show to others: the 'human face' of Thai Buddhism.

Phoenix J. Mirage's latest work offers provocative thoughts of encouragement and motivation created to offset our reactionary and emotional outbursts. Armed with this body of philosophical and spiritual thoughts, the author hopes readers will gain a set of intellectual codes to govern their everyday lives. A practicing clinician in Washington, D.C. for close to twenty years, Dr. Mirage has worked with a wide range of clientele, ranging from the criminally insane to the socially neurotic. His obsession with cultural diversity has led him globetrotting around the world in a unique quest to study and examine various cultures in terms of their lifestyles, as well as their psychological approaches to dealing with problems. An expert in Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Abhidhamma - a form of Buddhism as it relates to Transcendental Meditation - he is always searching for that higher plain of consciousness often referred to as Nirvana. While he admits it's a constant struggle to fully comprehend the Universal Order of things, the author possesses a vast knowledge of cosmic consciousness and the human psyche, as evident by his thoughts in this book. A writer for almost twenty years, Dr. Phoenix J. Mirage has authored The Enlightened, Until It's Time to Die, and his most recent, Cherish Forever! This book forces him to explore the human psyche in a way he has never done before, and in so doing, he has inadvertently provided a glimpse into his own soul. Whether you are spiritual in nature or not, it is the author's hope that these thoughts of encouragement and motivation will assist you on your journey through life.

"Listen up, folks: Chris Tusa has written a nasty little novel that somehow lifts close to grace its downtrodden and sometimes blackhearted inhabitants. They're fallen and broken, but like the New Orleans through which they stagger and flail, they are lovely ruins-and like New Orleans they are only one storm away from the End Times. Witness the storm, as told by Tusa: Dirty Little Angels."--Review by Josh Russell, Yellow Jack.
