A Gift of Healing in a Handbook, a collaborative non-fiction work by Penney Leyshon and Kathleen Spellman. Through text, poetry and twelve original pieces of healing artwork, the book offers a comprehensive look at healing, humanity, process and universal forces.

NYC professional healer and artist, Penney Leyshon, presents a view of the human experience from an evolved perspective: Why are we here? The text explores the true nature of fear, anger, addiction, guilt, obsession, codependency and depression.

This book promotes healing, is thought-provoking and answers both new and age-old questions. A treasured work to be picked up again and again.

What our reader's say about A Gift of Healing in a Handbook:

"A gift indeed!
A Gift of Healing in a Handbook offers ground-breaking information and spiritual insights on the true nature of humanity and the times in which we are living. The book details how we can heal ourselves and prepare for the tumultuous times ahead. You can read the book straight through or just let it fall open to any page and read to your heart's content. I've read many of the passages more than once, each time coming away with new food for thought. The book has been a healing experience for me, and I plan to buy copies for family and friends. I'd recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in personal healing, spiritual matters and the pivotal times in which we live."

"This is a book for a reader of any age. We are in charge of our own lives and it shows us how to control the direction in which we move. I thoroughly enjoyed the concepts of God and spirituality expressed in chapter 3. If read with thought, it can put chaotic aspects of ones life in order. Kudos to Penny Leyshon and Kathleen Spellman!"
