If you look into the mirror, what do you see? Yourself? No. A reflection of yourself. What if all the people in your life are emotional reflections of yourself? Would you see them differently? In Betsy Otter Thompson's The Mirror Theory, a mysterious stranger shows up at a critical time in her life, to tell her the stories of Jesus' family members. Through these stories you will see how one of the greatest masters who ever lived learned from the reflection of those around him, and they learned from him. Each family member takes on a central characteristic: envy, blame, humility, anger, jealousy, etc. What emerges is a method for personal growth and improving relationships by accepting responsibility for one's own life and creation. We are either drawn to or repelled by the people who reflect the things we like or dislike about ourselves. Just as if we're looking into a mirror that reflects back our innermost emotions and beliefs. This fascinating book is not only a chronicle of Jesus' life, but a spiritual journey into your own heart, whether or not you believe he had brothers or sisters. Here is a proven program for taking back your personal power. There are questions and exercises for using The Mirror Theory to help you apply the lessons taught in the book. Never has the message, "Love one another," been so clearly explained.
Walking Through Illusion features a series of short stories about biblical people who either knew Jesus or knew of him, and were influenced by him in one way or another. It is not a book about Christianity. Each chapter focuses on the growth of a particular person and each chapter is complete within itself. The end of each chapter has a worksheet with questions, designed to bring the ideas from the book into the reader's everyday life in a meaningful way.

NEW AND REVISED EDITIONIn LoveParent, you learn to love with acceptance, guide with care, lead with respect, and release with dignity. You, as the parent, are trying to remember what your children already know: the love within. If you listen to them, instead of forcing them to listen to you, you will again find yourself."LoveParent is a beautiful book and deserves to be widely read. The message is nothing less than superb." Judith Stanton, Editor of "Emmanuel's Book"If you are, or are planning to be, a parent and have misplaced your instruction manual--here it is! Love is all you need. How many times do we need to hear that message? Betsy is a writer with great style and spirit and I highly recommend reading LoveParent as a booster shot when your own spirit is flagging--whether you are a parent or someone's child. Bathsheba Monk, 5 star review on AmazonEven those of us who don't have children of our own will find handy kernels of truth in Ms. Thompson's respectful approach to a broad range of parenting issues in LoveParent.” Trace DeHaven“In LOVEPARENT, I love the emphasis on the idea that being a gifted parent means being kind to oneself and role modeling - not lecturing. This book encourages us to live what matters to us, so that our children will choose wisely for themselves. I especially liked the chapters, Adolescence and Sibling Rivalry.” Peace Baxter“LOVEPARENT is the perfect handbook to remember who we are and why we came here. Our children are born with the innate wisdom we have forgotten. Ms. Thompson clearly and kindly reminds us to allow our children to be our teachers.” Shianna Kuhn“Thank you, Betsy, for the gift of LOVEPARENT.” Joy Poulter“LOVEPARENT encompasses every phase of life from birth… through childhood, mature adult, and is completely inspired by love… This [book] is an invaluable template for all of us.” Nena Girsch"I wish I'd had this book when I was raising my children. My heart has been deeply moved by the message. Recommended reading for any parent or anyone considering parenthood." Melba Burns, Ph.D. author, Romance Your Writer Within and Reawaken Your Passion to Write.Once I started [LOVEPARENT] I couldn't stop until I finished… I wish I had this book when I started having children. Thank you for creating a book based on spiritual truths to help families grow and flourish. Annette KroningerWhat you have to say in LOVEPARENT is, in my opinion, so very healthy! Priscilla ShafferA MUST-read for parents or anyone contemplating parenthood, as well as a valuable guide for everyone. LOVEPARENT offers spiritual insight into why we choose to be here and contains wisdom beyond everyday and obvious perception. The Rev. Hannelore Goodwin, Founder, Circle of MiraclesI have come to appreciate Betsy' writing for the great inspirational stuff that it is. Insightful, chock full of good stuff and well intentioned is the hallmark of this work. I am glad I spent the time with this book. Giovanni GelatiBetsy Otter Thompson has again written a beautiful book, LoveParent; this one about the art of raising children… A great read for anyone… parent or not. Keep up your great work Betsy!Ronnie McIntosh
