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.

My goal in assembling this book was to provide entertainment and information for two main audiences First, for those who have hiked the trail, I included stories relating to places and things all of us have seen, along with frequent observations about those mysterious rocks beneath our feet. For those new to the trail, or who have never hiked long distances, this is a glimpse into the wonders and excitement out there to be discovered, as told by just one of the many thousands of past thru-hikers. The book contains three parts with 26 chapters and reads like a journal log, capturing my challenges and experiences each day on the trail. In addition to the 240 pages of text, there are over 100 beautiful color photos, 6 figures and 6 charts. Hopefully you will find this book both informative and entertaining, as you read and enjoy my tales of 150 days of discovery on the Appalachian Trail!

Sahaja Yoga: Heal and Integrate the Subtle Energy System
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99The book Sahaja Yoga: Heal and Integrate Your Subtle Energy System, written by Saraswati Raman, describes at length the process of activating the dormant Kundalini energy lying within the sacrum bone in each one of us and raising it upward through the chakras along the spinal column through the Sushumna Nadi until it reaches the Sahasrar, or the fontanel bone area, where it unites with the cosmic energy. She speaks of the various healing benefits of Sahaja Yoga: stress management and its utility in attaining an emotional balance.
The second part of the book deals with the use of sound, musical notes, and ragas in the activation and energizing of chakras. Music also has been widely used as therapy through its impact on the energy vortices and, thereby, its influence on the various glands and systems within the body.
The third part speaks about incarnations and how the various Avataras incarnated to give an impetus to evolution on earth more particularly toward helping the momentum in the evolution of humanity. The work is the outcome of her own application of Sahaja Yoga and its impact in bringing about an all-around integration of the personality—physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

Soul Baptism
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99In this day of global divisiveness can it be possible, for the sake of the Gospel, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be united enough to enjoy true and meaningful inter-denominational fellowship, and carry out His Great Commission, without compromising the established truths of His Word? Christianity’s “Big Three” seemingly unbridgeable doctrinal chasms addressed in SOUL BAPTISM are; ‘Sovereignty -vs- Free Will,’ ‘Eternal Security -vs- Falling from Grace,’ and ‘Cessationism -vs- Continuationism.’ Is it even realistic that these deeply held opposing views could be reconciled from the very same Word of God we all hold so dear as the sole basis for our Faith? Author Lucian Gandolfo emphatically says, “Yes”! SOUL BAPTISM unveils a Key for helping to achieve the unity that the Lord has commanded for His Church, in what he calls “divine triangulation.” SOUL BAPTISM offers an enlightening and refreshing perspective from Scripture that is a must-read for every Bible-believing Christian, student, teacher, minister, and even theologian.

So we seek our knowledge from the past,
Only to learn that life is an ever changing path

Without a Beacon, you’ll surely fail
To find your way upon the seas of life,
And run aground in tears and strife.
That’s why the Beacon came to be,
To shine its light on you and me,
And help guide us safely to shore,
To be lost in life’s seas no more -

My motto for this book was to learn from the past, to live in the present, and focus on the future. My guide: Proverbs 3:5-6; Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all the ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
