Let’s Stir Some Thoughts
Price range: $3.99 through $9.992019 has been a year of revelations for Giridhar as it became evident that writing Poetry could be as omnipresent as breathing. Giridhar has penned over 1100 poems in 2019 and has no intentions to stop anytime soon. One such revelation was also that there is never an end to editing, to making something better than it already is. Having published his first book “The Rhymes In Me”, Giridhar realized that writing is an Artform that needs diligence, perseverance and loads of editing. Giridhar has seen his quality of work enhanced subconsciously between the publishing of Book 1 and submission of Book 2 manuscript. Giridhar is currently working on two more books of Poetry that will see the light in early 2020. While “The Rhymes In Me” was more lighthearted Poetry wise, Giridhar rankles up some omnipresent thoughts that we all go through, as part of “Let’s Stir Some Thoughts”.

Letters from Prison
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Letters from Prison
This book contains the letters of my son wrote to me and my family while he was in prison.
He was out of state on a fishing trip when a friend broke into his house and set up a meth lab. When he returned home and started cooking his friend heard a loud bang on the door with a loud voice shouting. “This is the police, open the door!” He opened the door and they shouted, “Stand back! We need to search your house!”
The door to the back bedroom was locked. They cut the lock and found several fans running. All evidence was gone, but the smell was still there. My son was arrested and taken to jail. I saw his picture and the story on the evening news. I went to his house the next morning and police were everywhere. I ask, “What is going on?” He answered, “We found a meth lab in the bedroom.” I said, “Why was my son arrested. He didn’t do it, he was out of state for weeks, fishing!”
The police wanted my son to narc for them. If he didn’t, they wouldn’t take him to court. He narced for two years. Almost got killed and spent lots of money trying to make a drug bust. He did not make a bust.
We had to hire a lawyer and got on court. When the judge ask how do you plead. My son answered, “Your honor, I’m not going to plead guilty to something that I did not do, nor knew nothing about.” I am guilty of trying to help the guy after his family kicked him out. I let him spend a few night at my house while I was on my trip.
He was sentenced for 10 years for maintaining a drug house. He was sent to prison. He was put on work release. He was a master of electrion so started making good money. He has his own apartment at the prison. He said it wasn’t so bad, just missing family and friends and was the worst punishment. He saved enough money to buy a trucking company while working after he was released. He served 2 and a half years of the 10. When he got out, he said, “Thank you God! If I haven’t went to prison, I would never have saved enough money to buy my own business.
He wrote me every day for those 2 and a half years. I love him so! That’s why I’m sharing this story and his letters.

Letters Of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Letters of Life is a collection of perceptive, achingly honest poems that offer a decisive view which makes no apologies. These verses attempt to simplify rather than complicate the common ills which plague humanity. Often providing insight into life’s often messy entanglements.
These poems are divided into three separate sections. In “Whispers” we examine those things that people speak softly about under breath. The poems in “Secrets” reflect a pool of applied wisdom and answers to personal questions. And “Lies” deals with rumors, half-truths, and false impressions. Tying all the poems together is an undercurrent of truth.
“For in truth, there is love, in love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness.”
In this stunning collection, whispers will cease; secrets will be revealed; and lies will manifest-but the truth will remain evident throughout.

Price range: $3.99 through $23.99“Li-emba: The Community Destroyer” is a combination of events turned into stories all with the same central theme. A theme of destruction, a theme that challenges the very foundation of a society, and a theme and events that bring about the irreparable damage of a community. The community destroyer is a myopic shadow chaser and its manipulators, the “nganga” look on with “full-empty” pockets, while their clients destroy the community. Darkness in a community is not partial but rather total.

Lifestyle and Longevity
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Over the past century, life expectancy increased from the mid-forties to the mid-seventies. Now, however, longevity is beginning to decline.
Lifestyle and Longevity by surgeon Tom Taylor provides a comprehensive overview for lay readers about the factors influencing longevity, and the strategies that can potentially increase it.
The major killers – heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia – all have causative factors in common that are related to diet, and most interestingly, they share the same foodstuffs.
The book addresses the energy intake and dietary considerations that can overcome or delay development of these major diseases. There is also information on the genetic, environmental, and psychological factors in a healthy lifestyle, and the importance of exercise.
With historically unprecedented amounts of leisure time, along with massive technological advancements, people have become more sedentary and are subject to the damaging effects of fast foods. Many of these life-shortening effects did not occur in the past, but they are reversible.
“In writing this book, I have utilized my lifelong professional experience in dealing with disease processes in the practice of surgery, and have studied in detail intestinal diseases related to diet, including obesity and diabetes.” Dr. Taylor advises on major disease avoidance and treatment.

Like a Tree Planted
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99Most Christians have had periods when they felt alienated from God. Circumstances and life situations propelled them into seeming darkness and despair. In such times Satan takes advantage of the Christian’s confusion and ignorance to launch a subtle attack.

Jannah Mitchell was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Early education was in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jannah graduated with a B.A. in Journalism and Criminal Justice from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. She later completed her MEd at the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MPA at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

Jannah has served with missions’ teams in Bogata and Cali, Colombia, S.A.; Hyderabad, India; Panama; and Haiti. Jannah has a heart for new Christians and any Christian who is struggling. She hopes that her works will speak to the commonality of obstacles confronted when Christians are moving from darkness into the Kingdom of God. Hopefully this book and her other works will point the way to victory through spiritual development and renewal of the mind.

Little “d” Deacons
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99The tittle to this book may be surprising to many! For most active Church going folks, we normally associate the word deacon to a well-respected beloved individual. We usually would associate the word deacon as an honorary title. Over many years since the formation of deacons in the Book of Acts the word deacon stopped being a descriptor of the job of deacon and increasing became a title, much like aristocratic England. This is an intentional analogy. This was not the case in the early Church. Sadly, many deacons have become titled men rather than servant men. This tittle book is simplified call for God’s deacons to rise and discard the title of Deacon and return to the Biblical mandate for deacons. And by their good works establish a framework for God’s Revival Fire.

Little Spiders Big Web
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99When Bill Robinson agreed to help the beautiful Stephanie to find who had ordered the kill shot on her father twenty-five years ago, he knew it was much more than a cold case. What he didn’t know, was how hot it would get deeper he dug into the past, or the danger that awaits him and everyone he talked to.
Jill Benoit was retired from law enforcement and had every intention of staying that way. She had put in her twenty-five years and was more than ready to become a contented Vermont recluse, if only her neighbor would let her be. And then there were those annoying calls from that guy Robinson – and soon Jill was drawn into the same web of treachery and conspiracy that would lead her and Bill to the brink of death.
Will the quiet Vermont landscape and mountains of Washington State hide their secrets for another half century? Will the truth of a decade old crime come to light – and will anyone have proof? Can anyone really break the web of fear and hate and destroy the spiders that weave it?

Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author’s heart and mind. Many writers, pastors, or spiritual leaders encourage others to let God into their lives by telling Bible stories, giving snippets of generalized accounts about their own or others’ experiences, and by sharing philosophical viewpoints. Although not a “how-to” book, Living Loved details one person’s coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else’s spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God’s efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was…defects of character are acknowledged, God’s specific interventions described heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.

Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99A lyrical novel with a fairy-tale plot, this fresh presentation of the enduring quest story is a fascinating literary introduction to Western mystical thought. “Drawing on rich and eclectic sources, Mary Mendenhall has produced a memorable tapestry of great power and beauty,” a London reviewer wrote about the first edition.
An unpaid debt. A cursed king. The chilling reminder, “There is a power greater than yours,” when his wife dies in childbirth, his daughter is lost, and his kingdom crumbles.
Sensing that all is not right, the forgotten princess embarks on a journey of self-discovery alone, misunderstood and confused, wandering in search of home… So begins the story of Michael, a medieval craftsman craving fulfillment who stumbles across a cold and aloof stranger. But the Ice Princess is not like the fairy-tale figures of the Snow Queen, North Wind, or the White Witch: she is a flesh-and-blood woman with a quest of her own.
Reminiscent of the storytelling styles of Elizabeth Goudge and George MacDonald, Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance offers an ideal ‘bedtime story’ in the old oral tradition. Suitable for older youth and anyone who craves spirituality linked with old-fashioned romance, this classic novella is an enchanting journey through the world of sages of long ago who still have something to say to modern souls.
