Advances in Overcoming Obesity: Is There a Future for Bariatric Surgery?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Advances in Overcoming Obesity: Is There a Future for Bariatric Surgery? by retired surgeon Tom Taylor comprehensively addresses many of the causes, complications, and treatments of obesity for the lay public.
Despite billions of dollars per year being spent on diets, weight-reducing products, and techniques, few understand the fundamental nature of the problem, its complications, or the strategies available to overcome obesity. These challenges may recently have been radically changed with the emergence of new effective medications, not only for obesity, but for diabetes and other related health problems.
Dr. Taylor tackles the issues of energy intake and expenditure, while describing in detail the most popular diets, such as the South Beach Diet and Weight Watchers. He also explores the psychological and physical constraints of losing weight, related socio-economic factors, and the different types of surgical treatments and their possible effects, outcomes, and complications.
Although large amounts of weight can be lost following surgical treatment, for the first time ever, a group of drugs is now available that has been shown to also provide large weight loss, thereby presenting a challenge to surgical treatments.

Honoring Holistic Health Habits: Down to Dealing with Deadly Diets
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Honoring Holistic Health Habits discusses the major killer health risks in today’s society, as well as how these threats can be significantly reduced by lifestyle modification in diet and exercise.
Heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s are all exacerbated by eating an unhealthy diet. Plus, these diseases have all dramatically increased over the past century as a result of dietary changes.
The nature of these diseases along with the adjustments necessary to overcome them are important. Issues involve underlying energy intake and expenditure, toxicity, and the unhealthy modifications in modern diet that have brought on these health problems.
Today’s diets contain unhealthy fats and toxic proteins loaded with excess carbohydrates, the latter being the major cause of weight gain and diabetes. Taken in excess, these are the major killers, which for the first time in centuries are causing a reduction in life expectancy.
These conclusions come from the author’s lifelong medical practice treating these disorders.
Dr. Tom Taylor believes it is vital to fight the major killers that are the biggest threats to long life, and to understand the ways in which these can be reduced or deferred, thereby improving our lifestyle.

THE DIGNITY OF PROFIT: Creating Community through Entrepreneurship
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Consultants, by nature, are a questioning bunch. Unlike engineers, who will tell you how to make a watch when you ask them the time, consultants will take your watch and then tell you the time. Many answers have bubbled up from experience and research as this book was put together. God has offered many alternatives that were far better than the traditional ways of helping people. With all the money spent on efforts to eradicate poverty and revitalize communities, one might think that the problem is being solved. Nothing could be farther than the truth.

Diabetes and God’s Unending Grace
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99Why I Wrote Diabetes and God’s Unending Grace
Diabetes and God’s Unending Grace is the story of my fifty-four-year journey as an insulin-dependent, type-1 diabetic. I believe that God has directly led me to write this book as a source of encouragement and inspiration for other people afflicted with this incurable disease. My journey as a type-1 diabetic began on December 4, 1965. I was almost sixteen years old. Diabetes was much more difficult to manage at this time, and I described this in the early chapters of my book. My parents were informed by the doctor to tell me to never get pregnant and that I might live twenty-five more years.
At age sixty-nine, I have survived type-1 diabetes for over half a century. Through divine interventions and answered prayers, I have cheated death many times over. Through God’s wisdom and guidance, I have probably accomplished more in my life than an average person. I give my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, all the glory and praise. Deep down inside, I know God allowed this disease into my life because he had a special plan for me. Throughout life, God’s strength and grace have met my every need.
If you are a diabetic, either a type 1 or type 2, I believe that God has you on a special assignment. I believe he wants to manifest his grace and strength through you. I believe that God also desires to help you discover the special blessings you could not have had otherwise without your diabetes.
I trust that my personal story in Diabetes and God’s Unending Grace will deepen your faith and trust in the divine sovereignty of Almighty God. He is a wonderful heavenly Father, and you will read about his awesome and unending grace!

Covering All The Grounds: From Birth to Maturity in God
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Quote from Blair Townley, Xulon Press This nonfiction book educates readers in what it means to “grow” in Jesus and fulfill the purpose bestowed to each person by a loving God. The main concept of the book is that salvation does not conclude a Christian’s purpose on earth, but revitalizes it in helping those lost in the world find God. The book’s content is organized and very linear in its approach, as it explains thetopic more thoroughly through the chapters and uses realistic examples to connect readers’ experiences to the truths of the Bible. The author’s tone is very even and helpful towards readers, keeping the book’s dialogue informative but light-hearted that will encourage readers in seeing the eternal merits of a relationship with God through Jesus.

Almost Heaven
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Almost Heaven was originally titled Ballengee. I wrote during the early 80s while driving an eighteen-wheeler across the fruited plain of America and Canada. The characters of Almost Heaven are based on my memories of folks I knew while spending time with my summer parents on the farm in Ballengee, West Virginia. My Summer parents were named Lester and Fonda Lively. Ballengee was a farming and dairy country filled with unique folks. I started going there in 1954 and continued each summer until 1965. I always thought fiction was born of truth, and I filled Ballengee with fictitious characters from impressions of the folks I met there. The storyteller of the work never revealed his name, but if he had, it would have been Ragamuffin. It was a name given to me by Lester when asked who the little boy was hanging around him in the summer. Lester said, “Why, he is my Ragamuffin.” Ballengee is a real place, and I turned it into a small town filled with interesting folks who made it Almost Heaven.

JUDGMENT: The Last Trump And the Fall of America
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99THE END HAS COME: God revealed 2500 years ago how Western civilization will progress and eventually fall at the second coming of Jesus. The last of these empires, Rome or Europe, would devour and trample the rest of the earth which has come true in the ruthless colonization scheme that every country of the world has experienced. The end has come for Rome to be judged and the world redeemed from her destruction, theft, and killing. The rock cut without human hands, The Son of Man, will shatter this edifice (behind which Satan is hiding) into ashes sweeping them all away. Believing in Jesus is the only way to escape this judgement.

The Other Wife
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99Janice Bordeaux is an American woman from New Orleans, who lives and works in Chicago. WANDA ARRINGTON AKOREDE Janice and her cousin Melinda share an apartment. They are both young and ready for love and marriage. Janice finds her true love when she meets a Nigerian name Olufemi (Femi) Adegoke, who is completing his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Janice is employed at the University as an Administrative Assistant. They meet at an Africa party and romance blossoms. They become engaged and get married despite their cultural differences. Olufemi is from an upper class Nigerian family. He has lots of money and takes Janice on an extended honeymoon in Europe. They plan to settle in Nigeria afterwards. It is upon their arrival in Nigeria, that the other side of Femi is revealed. He kept from her the fact that he was already married. You see in their culture, it is legal to have more than one wife. But for Janice, this was culture shock! Devastated and distraught, Janice tries to live in their culture, rather than return home. Her love for Femi is very strong and she hopes that one day he will come to his senses and see that she is all the woman that he needs. But being faced with a very strong and male dominated country and living in a strange and sometimes overwhelming country, she finds it difficult to deal with her husband’s infidelity. She feels cheated. He should have told her about his other wife, and she
would never have married him. Omolola (Lola) is Oulfemi’s Nigerian wife. She waits two long years for him to complete his education and return home to her. She had not bargained on him marrying an American woman and bringing her home. She had planned to have a family and enjoy the fruits of his success upon his return to Nigeria. Instead she was forced to share him with Janice. Omolola knew that her husband has taken another wife before they arrived in Nigeria. It was part of their culture for a man to have more than one wife. Several of her relatives were actively living in polygamy. They tried to live together, each woman sharing their husband equally. But Lola was not satisfied with their arrangement and schemes to have Olufemi to herself. She uses any means at her disposal including juju (witchcraft). While Janice who is innocent in this is losing the battle to maintain her marriage. Consequently, Janice catches Olufemi and Lola in bed together and decides that she had had enough of their culture and polygamy and leaves for America. But she takes with her their unborn child; she is several months pregnant. So the tie is binding.
