WHY I AM AN ATHEIST WHO BELIEVES IN GOD:  How to Give Love, Create Beauty and Find Peace with Frank Schaeffer Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend's death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God - an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. He has appeared on Oprah, Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Today Show, Rachel Maddow and many more.  To purchase Frank's book from Amazon.com, Click Here.

Environmental Awareness - The Grayl - Safe Drinking Water Water has shaped our landscapes and every civilization. Today, far too many people do not have access to safe drinking water, and those of us that do rarely have truly clean drinking water. Sadly, serious contaminates such as fracking chemicals, pharmaceuticals and even E. coli contamination are turning up in our "potable" water. At GRAYL® headquarters in rainy Seattle, their comparatively clean and abundent water still contains added chlorine, trace amounts of arsenic and lead. They have dared to imagine that it should be possible to avoid both immediate and cumulative water hazards, and we've now made that simple to achieve. GRAYL makes water treatment for every occasion, whether that be at the tap, on the trail, or when facing the rigors of international travel. Our interchangeable filter system provides the amount and kind of filtration your lifestyle and location demands. The journey to change the way people drink water, and the quality of that water, has been an epic adventure to reimagine something most of us take for granted. GRAYL transforms personal water filtration into something that finally works; a fun easy-to-use personal filtration cup that makes safe, clean drinking water wherever you go. About GRAYL Founded in 2012, GRAYL® was inspired by CEO and Founder Nancie Weston's concerns about plastic pollution and the poor quality and taste of water she experienced while traveling. The Seattle based company is distributed internationally and is committed to making practical and durable filtration and purification. For more i nformation visit: http://www.thegrayl.com/

Bouncing Back after Dropping the Ball, 18 Lessons on Journey of Forgiveness with Judge Carla L. Garrett Carla L. Garrett is taking her message of forgiveness to greater heightd, in her newest book: BOUNCING BACK after DROPPING the BALL: 18 Life Lessons on the Journey to Forgiveness is a mixture of a novel and a “how-to” book, specifically, a book on how to forgive. The story involves a married woman who learns that her husband of 16 years has a secret life—secret women, secret kids, secret condos, etc.—and her struggle not to kill him, literally. Her desire to end his life grows as his behavior worsens, as he exacts his own revenge against her for deciding to leave him. Instead, she eventually learns to redirect her rage, after acknowledging her extended anger had changed her in unflattering ways, and embraces the notion of forgiveness. Forgiveness, she discovers, is neither an intuitive nor easy process, but she becomes the beneficiary of wonderful rewards as a result of her hard work. The book is designed to help those who have been betrayed to get through the process without destroying themselves (spiritually, mentally, or emotionally) or others, and shares 18 life lessons to get them to the point of true forgiveness.
