To any outsider, D. Neil Elliott was highly educated, owned a profitable consulting firm, and had a successful career and an amazing wife and family. But things were not all they seemed to be … Neil was facing a lot of challenges. In a phrase, he was in a dark place. Quite by accident, he discovered a Higher Road. As he traveled that road, he found the key to transforming his life.

Over the course of the following year, Neil lifted himself to an inner state of love, peace, joy, and abundance. His perspectives on life changed entirely. His troubles and tribulations were his impetus to find the key that enabled him to revolutionize his life. He learned that the search for a better life does not entail positive thinking, saying affirmations, chanting mantras, or traveling to India to sit at the feet of a guru—or any other popularized method of “finding yourself.” …The key? To ascend in both spiritual perception and truth, you need to use the right process to break through your entrenched, human-ego barriers.

For nearly three decades, Neil read hundreds of self-help and spiritual books and took self-development courses. All of them offered hope for change and improvement, but nothing fulfilled his needs or genuinely delivered on its promises.

Neil’s desire—and his new mission in life—is to share the knowledge he gained and the process he used on his journey to self-awareness, together with the blueprint document he discovered that was instrumental in transforming his life. He wants to give you, regardless of your station in life, the tools and opportunity to empower yourself, transform your life, and draw peace, joy, love, and prosperity into your personal situation and environment. Neil believes that as more and more people follow this Higher Road to true spiritual perfection, a New Era of Love and Peace will dawn for everyone throughout the world.

FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHEF AND DECORATED COMBAT VETERAN ANDRE RUSH TO RELEASE DEBUT MEMOIR "CALL ME CHEF, DAMMIT!: A VETERAN'S JOURNEY FROM THE RURAL SOUTH TO THE WHITE HOUSE" VIA HARPER HORIZON ON APRIL 19, 2022

NEW BOOK CHRONICLES CHEF RUSH'S JOURNEY FROM GROWING UP IN A MISSISSIPPI HOUSING PROJECT, TO BECOMING A MASTER SERGEANT, AND CELEBRITY CHEF SERVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER FOUR U.S. PRESIDENTS

Former White House Chef Andre Rush is set to release his debut memoir "Call Me Chef, Dammit!: A Veteran's Journey from the Rural South to the White House" on April 19, 2022, via Harper Horizon. The book chronicles Chef Rush's fight against poverty, racism, gender norms, and PTSD to become a master sergeant, celebrity chef, and a leading advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention among active US military members and veteran's organizations.

Chef Rush became an overnight sensation in 2018 after a photograph of his now-famous 24-four-inch biceps--the by-product of 2,222 daily push-ups--went viral. From his childhood working on a farm, to developing into a gifted athlete and artist, to his joining the Army, Chef Rush has dedicated his life to serving others. During his 24-year military career, his reputation as an award-winning cook eventually led him to the White House, where he served under four United States presidents¬--Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and most recently, Donald Trump.

On September 11, 2001, Chef Rush was working at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 hit the building during the 9/11 terrorists' attacks. This event led to his suffering from PTSD and compelled him to become an outspoken advocate for the military and especially for wounded warriors.

"This book will take you on an almost unbelievable sequence of events - each chapter leading to something different and more mind blowing than the last," says Rush. "I wrote this memoir to tell a story that was never meant to be told, and in doing so, I realized that I had to tell this to inspire, empower, teach, and educate on a worldwide platform across all races, genders, religions, beliefs, as we are all the same."

Every step of the way, Chef Rush has overcome tremendous obstacles, including battling stereotypes and racism. In this memoir, he shares not only his wounds and what he experienced along the road to recovery but also the optimism, hope, and hard-earned wisdom that have encouraged countless others.

"My challenge to the reader is to take a moment and stop, look at where you are in life, and then keep moving forward," explains Chef Rush. "Once you get to the top of life's mountains, turn around and help someone else."

Rush adds: "Entitlement is huge in today's world, and my hope is that through self-reflection, gratitude, and humbleness, we can put down our entitlements and understand how blessed we are and realize how much we can help others who are struggling. We cannot forget that people are the most important thing in a culture where media, politics and personal agendas often outweigh decency."

ABOUT CHEF ANDRE RUSH

Chef Andre Rush is a retired decorated combat Veteran known worldwide as the White House chef with the 24-inch biceps and for his advocacy for military service, as well as suicide prevention, which is why he does 2,222 push-ups a day: to bring awareness to the ongoing epidemic of mental health and suicidal ideation.

Chef Rush uses food as medicine and therapy to helping military overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD, with a method called "Cooking to Cope." He is the founder of 2,222 INC, a 501(c)3 which mentors, supports, teaches, educates, and empowers youth in unreasonable circumstances with the support of military, first responders, and influential men and women from different backgrounds.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Recovering your Harvest of Grace Outreach Ministry is focused on those on the margins of society—homeless individuals and prisoners. It was founded in 2009 by Pastor Brenda White Green. Her husband, Pastor Kevin Green, is a cofounder of the ministry.

Pastors Brenda and Kevin are dedicated to meeting the needs of others before their own. Together, they go into the world to spread the Word of God and bring hope to the people who need it most. For instance, one of their main initiatives is to give back to the army cadets—courageous individuals who have selflessly served our country.
Pastor Brenda White Green

In 1968, Pastor Brenda was born in a country town called Floydada, TX. The Lord was present in the home she lived in at all times. At the age of 33, she was called to the ministry of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX where she served others and was taught the Word of God.

In 2004 in Lubbock, Pastor Brenda felt summoned by the Lord to go out into the streets and the world to feed and touch the people that are rejected by society. She made it her mission to let them know that regardless of their circumstances, Jesus loves them all the same.

Pastor Brenda began travelling to different places to learn about outreach ministry. During her travels, she began getting stronger in the Word of God. Her work took her to places like:

 Albuquerque, NM
 Hobbs, NM
 Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
 Midland, TX
 Odessa, TX
 Denver, CO
 New Orleans, LA

ABOUT TRUE: THE FOUR SEASONS OF JACKIE ROBINSON

The year 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the passing of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. It also marks the 75th anniversary of one of the most significant moments of the 20th century - Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in major league baseball. Rightfully, much has been written about Jackie Robinson. To commemorate these two significant anniversaries, acclaimed author Kostya Kennedy has written the most interesting and unique biography of Jackie to date in his new book, TRUE: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson (St. Martin's Press, on sale April 12, 2022, $29.99).

Whereas all-time greats like Ted Williams, Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio captured the eye of fans everywhere, Jackie Robinson became the epitome of a new America. It was not just that he opened doors for black Americans to play major league baseball. Rather, his reach extended to black Americans being able to participate in other sports. And more importantly, beyond the fields of play he helped open doors and shine a light on black people in non-athletic professions. With each accomplishment on the baseball diamond - and, indeed, for years after his career ended - he became an important national figure who spoke and wrote eloquently about racial injustice and inequality.

What makes this book unique? Instead of day-to-day accounts of Jackie's first year breaking the color line, or a recap of his legendary career, TRUE examines Robinson's impact on sport and society from the lens of four non-consecutive transformative years of his life:

1946 - his first year playing in the minor leagues with the Montreal Royals

1949 - the year he won the Most Valuable Player Award in his third season with the Brooklyn Dodgers

1956 - his final season in major league baseball, when he played valiantly despite his physical struggle with diabetes

1972 - the year of his untimely passing

Through vivid prose and interviews with Robinson's family, players, and fans who witnessed and felt his impact, the author offers a new look at Jackie Robinson: the player, father, husband, and just as importantly, civil rights hero. To this date, half a century since his passing, his widow, Rachel, and the Robinson family continue to receive myriad letters expressing admiration for Robinson's courage in the face of the racial animosity he endured while playing. What's more, they express admiration and thanks for what Jackie did and meant to them as they carved out their own lives and careers, achieving respect and accomplishments in a country that seemed to be closed off for so many.

TRUE will establish a new view on the life of Jackie Robinson in ways not even the most devout fans of his amazing career considered. Kostya Kennedy's previous books on the complicated life of Pete Rose and the meaning of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak both shone a new light on these players. He has done it again with the most interesting and unique take yet written on the life and meaning of Jackie Robinson.

ABOUT KOSTYA KENNEDY

Kostya Kennedy is an editorial director at Dotdash Meredith, and former senior writer at Sports Illustrated. He is a New York Times bestselling author of 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports (runner up for the 2012 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing) and Pete Rose: An American Dilemma. Both won the Casey Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year. He has taught at Columbia and NYU, and lives with his wife and children in Westchester County, NY.

PRAISE FOR TRUE

"This is a marvelous addition to the library on the ever-important, ever-enigmatic Jackie Robinson, one of the towering figures in the Civil Rights Movement. Kennedy has given us four remarkable 'snapshots' of Jackie at this most brave and vulnerable moment." --Ken Burns, filmmaker

"True is a captivating reminder of Jackie Robinson's greatness not only as a baseball player and trailblazer, but also as a fearless activist for the equal rights and fair treatment of all people. Reading it, I said to myself time and again: "I wish I could have met him." --John Grisham

"The 75th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson became the first Black man to play in the Major Leagues is the perfect time to remember a great baseball player and an even greater American. Kostya Kennedy's True tells Robinson's story beautifully, a sweeping narrative rich in detail and full of riveting and important stories that should be told and retold for generations." --Christine Brennan, USA Today sports columnist and bestselling author of Inside Edge.
