Do You Believe In Miracles?
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99The main source of the stories in this book comes from the experiences relayed to me by our customers visiting the Catholic store which I and my co-partner opened the last years of our careers in teaching. (in preparation for a transition to retirement)
A majority of my shoppers were Catholic, but there were many of other faiths including Protestants, Buddhists, Jews, Muslim and those who described themselves as atheists or agnostics.
Readers of this book may be moved by the expressions of faith by residents of our community. Reared as a Catholic I have had questions of faith. However, I have been deeply moved by the religious fervor and faith of those who have related their experiences to me. It has truly made a difference in my life. My husband, also reared in a Catholic family, has been more skeptical of miracles of those about which we have written. We shared an encounter together in Eloy, Arizona with the “Lady in the Bell Tower” which has had a significant impact on his life, This miraculous event has been witnessed by several hundred people of different faiths and nationalities.
The narratives of miraculous encounters in this book may have an everlasting effect on those who read it and may serve as a segue of common values to a sometimes politically and religiously divided people.

Get Ready For The Good Fight
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99I am sure that you have often heard this expression, “She, he, or they made me do it or made me angry or unhappy.” This is not true. No one can make you do anything that you do not want to do. The decision and choices of action are always yours. You do or say things because of who you are and what is in you. Therefore, you need to educate yourself well in order to make good decisions.
There are only two forces in this world, influencing or guiding in your actions or decisions: one is for good, the other for evil. Our struggle in this life is not primary against our fellow human being but against the forces of evil. When we really understand this and if we follow the instructions or guidelines of the forces of good, we will always be happy and victorious no matter what the challenges may be that we encounter.

Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.

La travesía a Hangtown Haven
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Cómo un grupo de voluntarios comprometidos liderados por un ingeniero aeroespacial retirado construyó un refugio para personas sin hogar en una comunidad de la ebre del oro y cómo la élite nanciera y del poder lo cerró. ¿Fue porque Hangtown Haven fue un éxito inesperado?
¿Cómo se puede construir un refugio exitoso para personas sin hogar que sea legal, práctico y económico sin costo para el contribuyente? Un grupo de voluntarios sin hogar liderados por un ingeniero aeroespacial retirado junto con corporaciones sin nes de lucro e iglesias preocupadas se lanzaron a la refriega e hicieron precisamente eso. Pero no sin cometer errores y correr riesgos por el camino. Nadie podría haber predicho lo controvertido que sería brindar refugio a nuestros vecinos que no tenían un lugar donde vivir. “Vamos a construir un refugio para perros moderno con $7 millones, pero no se molesten en pedirle al condado o a la ciudad ni un centavo para ayudar a nuestros ciudadanos
sin hogar”.
Entonces, la verdadera pregunta es: “¿Cómo se construye un refugio para personas sin hogar que funcione y sea aceptable para toda la comunidad sólo con donaciones?” Este libro cuenta la historia del esfuerzo de una comunidad de la Sierra para responder esta pregunta y cómo su éxito demostró que se podía hacer; sin embargo, su éxito también puso al poder de la ciudad en su contra.
Cuando se hizo evidente que el refugio era un éxito y que las personas sin hogar prosperaban, la estructura de poder de la ciudad se unió y lo cerró, expulsando a cuarenta hombres y mujeres sin hogar de su refugio en medio del invierno sin un lugar donde vivir.
Pero el genio ya ha salido de la botella y los ocupantes de este pequeño pueblo minero de oro saben cómo hacerlo la próxima vez. Están dispuestos a intentarlo de nuevo hasta tener éxito, aunque todos los intereses empresariales, políticos y de poder estén decididos a impedirlo. Esta historia cuenta cómo se hizo, cómo se puede hacer y cómo evitar errores graves en el camino.
