  • JOCKEY DAUGHTER: I Do Not Have To Be Beaten To Cross the Finish Line by Tracey Cooper
    Most children growing up cannot say their fathers are jockeys who ride racehorses for a living. With that profession comes excitement, privilege, community status, and a vast array of Hall of Fame athletes as well as a host of trainers, agents, stable workers, and jockeys frequently visiting the home.

    That was the life author Tracey Cooper and her siblings lived. But there was a dark side to this glittering, celebrity lifestyle. While adoring fans cheered their father across the finish line, their mother was beating the author and her six siblings within an inch of their lives. The seven children endured her unbelievable anger, resentment, and negative energy until they were old enough to leave.

    In the solitude of the  home, abusive events were oddly intertwined with the very public aspect of the professional sport of kings and the sheer excitement and magnitude of the horse racing industry.

    In Jockey Daughter, the author shares a poignant, firsthand account of the personal side of horse racing as well as the dark, secret of physical abuse that happens in so many families regardless of their economic status. For the author and her brothers and sisters, the abuse was a hushed secret, and no one, except for a few, attempted to stop it.

  • AWAKENING: Awakening Is Not What You Think by Nevsah

    The book is about awakening and staying awake. It is about acceptance and being a real human being. Many people think awakening is understanding that the world is not real. Actually, real awakening is being able to stay in the world, to be a real human being even if you remember that the world is not real in your consciousness. A new world opens up the moment a person understands that the world does not have a meaning and your mission is to make it mean something. 

    This book is very enlightening, strong, and awakening, and it’s written in a very revolutionary approach. People meditate, do yoga, and do lots of exercises to get in tune with themselves, and yet they are still stressed, ill, and in panic in their daily lives. My book is about staying awake in your daily life-every day, every moment, and every situation.

  • Greek/Hebrew Parallel Old Testament English Translation by Conrad R. Gren


    The book presents Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Ruth, Jonah, and Habakkuk translated from Greek and Hebrew in parallel. The most authoritative Greek (Rahlfs) and Hebrew (BHS) texts available are the base texts, as used by NETS (New English Translation of the Septuagint) and modern English Bibles (such as ESV, NIV, NASB, RSV, NRSV, NEB, REB and NAB). Where available, the author supplements these texts with newer editions being issued (Greek text – Gottingen Septuagint; Hebrew text – BHQ).

    This dual translation provides definitive insight into Dead Sea Scroll variants, and New Testament usage of the Old Testament. Many Dead Sea Scroll variants are incorporated into the text, particularly when scholarly consensus identifies them as probable original readings. In addition, all passages quoted in the New Testament are presented in bold with a detailed analysis. The reader can see how the New Testament quotations relate to both the Greek Old Testament, from which it frequently derives, and the original Hebrew text.

    The book enhances the reader’s understanding of Jewish and Greek culture, history, and language. The author translates both Greek and Hebrew as literally as possible, to facilitate comparison. He emphasizes both Greek and Hebrew word derivations and spellings. The Greek and Hebrew translations will stand on their own independently, yet are presented in parallel to facilitate comparison of differences and similarities

  • COOKING FOR A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN: The TASTES and TALES of a Wonderful Life by Larry Levine

    They were singers and secretaries, classmates and teachers, actresses and attorneys, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, friends, lovers, and mentors. They were strong, intelligent, independent, and witty. Together and separately, they wove a tapestry of smiles and tears and inspired the warm, funny, tender, and sweet stories that fill the pages of Cooking for a Beautiful Woman – part memoir, part cookbook.


    Larry Levine, editor, and publisher of the online food magazine TabletalkatLarrys.com, is a home cook who has created more than thirty thousand meals in his lifetime. In Cooking for a Beautiful Woman, he tells nostalgic and true tales about the women he has known. Along with the stories, the book offers delectable recipes including traditional Jewish and Romanian dishes, memorable meals culled from the menus of restaurants on the Sunset Strip and Las Vegas Strip, as well as dishes from a broad variety of cultures. There are recipes for “Jewish penicillin” (also known as chicken soup), Romanian eggplant salad, barbeque ribs, eggs creole, Irish stew, baked spaghetti with garden sauce, biscuit tortoni, and scores of others. 

    Cooking for a Beautiful Woman shares The Tastes and Tales of a Wonderful Life, fascinating stories and tasty recipes that offer a glimpse into a man’s lifetime and the special women who touched his heart.

  • MEALS WITH MISH by Cynthia De Angelo


    The title of the cookbook is a tribute to the author’s daughter whose nickname is Mish, short for Michelle, hence MEALS WITH MISH! You can find the book on Facebook!

    The cookbook is “kid friendly” in two ways: cooking FOR kids and cooking WITH kids. This is a collection of family recipes collected and preserved by the author. She used and modified each recipe with her daughter Michele as they shared time together in the kitchen cooking.

    De Angelo made each meal special by inviting family members, usually cousins, or Mish’s friends for meals. She encouraged the kids to have a hands-on approach in preparing the recipes. By creating this can-do atmosphere, the author not only made wonderful memories for the participants, but also increased the kids self-esteem because they were actually cooking.

    This is more than just a book filled with recipes. Parents who homeschool their children could add a “Cooking Class” to their curriculum in which the children get involved by measuring ingredients (using math skills) or combining the ingredients for the recipe (using science, if you combine this with that what happens?). Parents could let the kids choose the menu and prepare it, with supervision of course! The possibilities are endless and so are the wonderful memories.

    The big plus is that the recipes are not only healthy and easy, but also DELICIOUS! There are seven different chapters, and each will contain at least one recipe that will become a family favorite. Note the clever titles of each recipe. 

    CHAPTERS AND SAMPLE RECIPES

    1.   BREAKFAST

    Orange French Toast with Orange butter

    2.   LUNCHABLES

    Kiddieland Stuffed Hot Diggity Dogs

    3.   BREADS & MUFFINS

    Aunt Laurie’s Booberry Muffins

    4.   DINDIN

    Life Is Good Miniature Pizza’s

    5.   DESSERTS

    Chocolate Krispy Peanut Butter Balls (A sure winner!)

    6.   FAVORITES

    An assortment of tried and true favorite recipes of the author

    7.   BEVERAGES

    Banana-Nutella Smoothie (Yummm!)

  • Thou Shalt Not by Kathleen Stauffer


    Typically, historical fiction is a made-up account of fictional characters interwoven with true historical events. 

    Thou Shalt Not is the exception. The characters were real people, the town of David, Iowa was real, and many of the incidents related in the book are authentic. Conversations are taken directly from court documents and newspaper accounts printed in the area’s 1898-99 newspapers. 

    The story is set in 1895. David, Iowa, is a busy, thriving community of about 75 residents. Local businesses included a wicker chair factory, shoe shop, harness repair, dentist, blacksmith, general store, postmaster, millinery and dressmaking shop, farmer’s State Bank, The David Church, and a hotel run by Mary and Henry Meier. The David school house was located about two miles from town–following the railroad tracks was the shortest route.

    According to newspaper accounts during the trial, Mary Meier was the only woman present in the court room. The judge, the attorneys, the witnesses, the spectators were all men. Due to the social mores of the times and people’s belief about women’s roles, Mary didn’t have a chance to have a happy life. 

    During the trial, the defense attorney is quoted as saying: “ I don’t know why it is, but somehow in every man and in every normal woman the Master and Maker of us all has implanted in us all passions that ought to be the most sacred of anything on earth, but somehow in this day and world, somehow or other, these passions where they ought  to be sacred so often are the means of downfall of men and women…”

    A QUESTION OR TWO THE READER MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER:

    1. So much of what occurred in this story still occurs today. A different time, different places, different people, but the same passions. How do you relate?

    2. Which character do you sympathize with most? 

    3. Was Mary guilty of anything? 

    4. What would you have done differently if you had been Mary?

    Nerve Endings of the Soul: Interaction between the Mind of God and the Mind of Man through Neural Synaptic Networks?  

    It is a common belief that personal communion from the Holy Spirit to mankind ceased at the closure of the canon of scripture. The information presented in this book shows that interaction between the Holy Spirit and the mind of man enabled by the human spirit is bidirectional and continues in our time. Evidence presented from theological and scientific resources confirms the duality of the immaterial mind and the physical brain of man and substantiates the personal interaction between the Holy Spirit and the mind of human beings. The model for study is the neural synaptic network, incorporating the microsite hypothesis of Sir John C. Eccles. Dualist interaction has been substantiated by contemporary theologians and investigators in the neurosciences and information theory, building on advances in quantum wave theory. 

    A hypothesis is offered by this author for a mechanism for dualist interaction involving probabilistic quantum tunneling across synaptic clefts. Transmission of specified information with meaning and purpose occurs within neural codes in spike trains of action potentials in synaptic networks. Through a lifetime of learning archived in memory, the mind of humans interprets neural codes enabled by the unique capacity for language. Communication from the Holy Spirit, as sender, to human minds, as recipients, draws upon current understandings of information and communication theory. The trigger for initiating spike trains as codes is postulated as an immaterial energy source by which the Holy Spirit communicates with the mind of man. 

    Evidence presented in this book provides a compelling rationale for the reality of bidirectional communication with the living, personal Holy Spirit in our time. That Jesus Christ indwells those who accept his truth as a personal, living spirit is confirmation of the promise in John 14:1521. Interaction with God by his atoning grace through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit gives receptive mankind comfort and counsel today to his glory.

    The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story 

    Christianity is evidence based, and this book innovatively shows concordance between Scriptural narratives and applications from the neurosciences that speak to personal interaction between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit and soul through the synaptic networks of the brain. Direct and personal communion with the Holy Spirit is restored when one accepts the New Covenant of the Gospel in repentance. It was given by the grace and boundless love of God for Man through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This book tells the story of the redemption of fallen mankind by the work and power of the Holy Spirit.

    It is a common belief in the Church that personal, direct communion from the Holy Spirit to mankind ceased at the closure of the Canon of Scripture. The information presented in this book shows that interaction between the Holy Spirit and the mind of man enabled by the human spirit is bidirectional and continues in our time. Evidence is presented from theological and scientific resources that confirms dualist interaction between the immaterial mind and the physical brain of man. It further substantiates personal, direct interaction between the Holy Spirit and the mind of human beings. 

    The model for study used in this book is the neural synaptic network and incorporates the microsite hypothesis of Nobel laureate Sir John C. Eccles. Dualist interaction proposed by Eccles has been increasingly substantiated by contemporary theologians and investigators in the neurosciences and information theory, building on advances in quantum wave theory. The author addresses the mechanism for dualist interaction involving probabilistic quantum tunneling across synaptic clefts. Specified information with meaning and purpose actualized within neural codes is transmitted within spike trains of action potentials distributed through synaptic networks. The trigger for initiating spike trains is postulated as an immaterial energy source by which the Holy Spirit communicates with the mind of man. Through a lifetime of learning archived in memory, the cognitive mind of humans interprets neural codes enabled by their unique capacity for language. Communication from the Holy Spirit or other human minds as senders to human minds as recipients draws upon current understandings of information theory. 

    Evidence presented in this book provides a compelling rationale for the reality of bidirectional communion with the living, personal Holy Spirit in our time. That Jesus Christ indwells those who accept his truth as a personal, living Spirit is confirmation of the promise in John 14:15–21. Interaction with God by his atoning grace through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit gives receptive mankind hope and counsel today and into eternity to His glory.
