Two Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Officers entered the room. They introduced themselves and then the first thing they asked each of us was the most shocking question we could ever imagine.
“DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR MOTHER IS CAPABLE OF MURDER?”
Who am I, I asked myself
I do not always know
Somedays I try to be another girl
Someone in fancy clothes.
I curl my hair all up
I put on my paint and then
I paste a smile upon my lips
Pretend I’m all-a-grin.
The whole world sees me just like this
All nice and pretty-secure.
But Lord, you see the inward parts
The heart and mind impure.
Thank you, Lord, for sending your dear Son
He cleansed and made me whole
I am your child, You’re my God
That’s all I need to know,
Imagine if you went outside to play and an elephant stood in your backyard. That is exactly what happened to Dougie! Join Dougie, as he helps his new friend, Heppie the elephant, find her way back home.
Moms and kids disagree on a lot of issues. After one particular morning full of disagreements over just about everything, this book was written by a stressed-out mom and deals with the debates over bedtime, chores, bicycling rules, and movie choices. While trying to understand why so many rules exist, the child in the book realizes the rules are in place for his safety and health, and because he is loved.
Parents everywhere can relate to disagreements over family rules. Hopefully, as parents read Mom and I Disagree with their children they can reassure their children that the rules of their home are made out of concern and love.
Moringa Matters! The title begs the obvious question, “WHY?” Why have you likely never heard of Moringa? What is this five-thousand-year-old panacea plant? Why did it go missing and vanish from the nutritional horizon? Of course, the most practical question is why is it so critical that we NOW get this plant into our bodies in the most bioavailable enzymatically form possible?
The answer is obvious. The food chain has been broken, and whether it has been done deliberately or not, the fact remains that it is. As Dr. Fisher opines, “we have a good idea what are the factors in major diseases and the solutions to these are absent from our food chain.” The Monsanto lawsuit finding emphasizes this imperative.
Moringa Oleifera may, in fact, be the world’s best kept nutritional secret. Moringa oleifera may be the world’s most phytonutrient dense plant ever discovered. Moringa Matters because it may be the plant that possesses the ability to positively transform the current status of health and decrease the incidence of disease around the world. Moringa Matters because your life and health matter, as do the lives and health of your loved ones. Moringa Matters because this plant was a gift from our wise and loving Creator and perhaps there has never been such a time as this when it was more desperately needed.
The First Fairy Tale: Book II is the second book in a series that creatively tells the story of our beginnings in a way that delights children and parents alike. Everyone has been born, so we have each taken this journey described in classic fairy tales, fables, allegories, legends, and myths across cultures and generations. Now you can share this magnificent journey with those who are actually taking it, those who enjoy hearing it the most and benefit from having their travels acknowledged. Parents can read The First Fairy Tale Book II: The Awakening Heart to their small children—it is really intended to be read to babies while they are still in the womb. Research shows that newborns remember the stories and songs they heard while in utero! They are calmed and reassured by the sound of your voice and the tone of their own story being told with love.
One socially inept man lost in the past and looking for love.
One nameless lady ghost lost in the present and
trapped inside his new home.
One shared connection neither understand:
until it’s too late.
Will either break the circle of sorrows?
Every now and then a place becomes an important part of you
the memories you make there linger long after you are grown.
Washington Junction is about a very unique train station
that has become a special place for many people, trains and even an animal or two.
DISCLAIMER: The views represented in this book are not necessarily the views of the United States Department of Agriculture. BUT THEY SHOULD BE! In the increasingly competitive and challenging world of farming, surely a book is needed to educate farmers on how to increase their crop yields. Okay, so this isn’t that book. Or…is it? What if what every farmer really needs is just a good laugh?
Gary Guest or “Double G” as he’s known, loves three things: 1. Being a farmer; 2. Dirt; and 3. Making people laugh. In Fertilizer For The Funnybone, he’s fulfilled that mission in sowing a collection of humorous anecdotes, poems, and witty one-liners sure to reap a bountiful harvest of laughter. Guest also loves his wife of 40 years who plays a prominent role in the book, as well as serving as his “typist, editor, conscience and sometimes waitress.” Whether you’re a lifetime farmer or a city-slicker, you’re sure to love this book and the author ’s infectious and delightful brand of self-deprecating humor. From “Me a writer? That might be a stretch” to “You might be a Cattleman if…” to the “Dear Double G” not so sage advice columns, this book lives up to its name!
Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology is a multidisciplinary approach that explores in depth the biological, psychological, mental, emotional, and social development of babies as they grow into unique individuals through their relationship with caregivers. It honors the essence of life throughout the entire lifespan, and emphasizes the significance of the earliest formative relationship, which create the foundation for all subsequent interactions with others.
“The First Fairy Tale Book I: The Adventure Begins by Susan Highsmith combines elegant
beauty with magical words that inspire and inform us of the mystery and reality of conception.
The beautiful artwork of Mark Sean Wilson adds a transcendent aura to every page. The shapes
and colors of his illustrations combined with Susan’s enlightening text bring us the wonder of the
natural, yet miraculous, ancient journey taken by each of us.”
Dr. Susan Highsmith is an enlightened renaissance grandmother! She is a seeker of truth and spiritual wisdom, a lover of science and knowledge, a caring mother and grandmother, and a qualitative researcher. The Renaissance of Birth is the culminating tapestry of her perspectives as she leads us through a deeply meaningful quest to understand how we bring in our children-how we conceive, carry and birth our babies-past-present-future. We are at a crossroads in our world view paradigm, our understanding of babies and what they need to thrive from the beginning of life, restoring balance between science and feminine wisdom, and how we all, as stewards of the next generation, can help make a difference. For parents-to-be and all of us, I recommend this book!

Kira used to think that she was a perfectly ordinary twelve-year- old girl. That all changed when she saw a dragon crash land at her school–a dragon who spoke to her and warned her of an incoming evil. Before Kira even had time to come to terms with this news, she was taken from her family’s backyard by a… boy wearing rocket boots? After fighting (and miraculously winning against) her evil vice principal-turned-dragon, Kira learned that she, too, was a dragon. Kira, now going by her dragon’s name Kirvam, reentered her homeland of Cypuric, land of the dragons, and united with the Dragon Keepers in order to save Cypuric from the insidious clutches of the dragon Kios.
A New Song is a compilation of Christian Poetry penned over Elizabeth’s lifetime. This is her first published book and we hope she will share many more with us as her gift is truly from up above.
A Brand New Song
I will not pass this way again
Nor tarry here too long
I’m going to another place
A place where I belong.
A land where milk and honey flow
And the streets are paved with gold
Where there will be no pain or death
Where I will not grow old.
There I will meet my Savior
And those who’ve gone before
We’ll worship God and sing His praise
Christ Jesus whom we adore.
When I see the pearly gates open
I will hear Him call to me
I’ll look beyond the Jordan’s bank
And His radiant face I’ll see.
I will not be down-hearted
I will shout a brand new song
I will be upon the golden shore
Upon the brand new morn.
So please don’t cry don’t shed one tear
I can’t tarry here too long
Cause I’m going to another place
A place where I belong.
I was born in Newport, Rhode Island and I was raised in a large family of 9 siblings. Meals were a time of laughter, sharing and getting everyone together. Through the years, the dining room table became the one place everyone would gather, and these are the times I remember the most.
I have strived to always make my table a place my family, friends, and visitors love to be. (for a simple pie and coffee or a full-blown dinner) To do this, I have had to step out of my comfort zone and learn to have fun trying new recipes to make my table exciting and offer everyone a reason to come together.
In my first book, I have shared my favorite recipes that will help you start to make your table the place everyone loves to gather at. No more begging or bribing the kids to come, (I smile as I say that!) make meals a memorable moment and soon you will be creating lasting memories of wonderful times shared while passing the mashed potatoes and gravy! These are the times I feel truly blessed.
