"Imagine for a moment that every person could take a journey toward loving themselves without reservation and accepting themselves without judgment. In turn, imagine they would then be able to treat all others with that same unreserved, nonjudgmental love. If this were so, there would be no room for hatred, anger, or judgment. In Whispers from Beyond, author Dr. John Stewart shares his journey from science to spirit through observations of fourteen real-life patients under hypnotic regression to past traumas in this or in previous lives, to their spirit guides, and to their own spiritual core.

Along the way, he explores how his traditional analytical therapy approach has evolved through his experiences and learning with and from his patients, expanding his focus to spirit and spirit guide connections as a path to healing and resolution. Intended for both therapists and patients who have not uncovered the root causes of problems despite prolonged therapy as well as those interested in spiritual beliefs, life after death, or previous lives, this collection presents the stories of fourteen patients experiencing regression to past traumas, to their spirit guides, and to their spiritual cores."

"What if Scripture could speak to us not just through its words, but through the hearts of the people who lived it? In The Word in Their Voices, poetry becomes a window into the living Word of God?seen through the eyes of Mary at the foot of the Cross, of Judas in his agony, of the Centurion, of Peter, Stephen, and the unnamed ones who walked beside Christ. This collection invites readers to experience sacred Scripture as a living drama, unfolding in human voices that echo across centuries. Written by a Catholic pilgrim bearing the baptismal name Augustine, this book emerges from a life steeped in both healing and searching. After decades dedicated to medicine, the author now turns to the deeper healing of the soul, offering meditations shaped by personal devotion, Church tradition, and love for the Word of God. Each poem is paired with reflection and scriptural insight?designed not to instruct from above but to walk beside, as a fellow traveler might. These are not just retellings of biblical stories; they are invitations to dwell in them, pray with them, and live them."
<p>Moses&rsquo;s credibility as the author of the first five books of God&rsquo;s relationship with mankind stems from his unflinching candid veracity detailing his and the nation of Israel&rsquo;s truthfully difficult relationship with God. That said I sometimes see a little different than the run of the mill narrative and that causes me to want to write. I humbly believe we read these beautiful heart throbbing stories with no emotion. We somehow leave out the anxiety, the fear, the laughter, the joy, the blood, or falling on our knees reaction moments when they are delivered or healed by God. As you read this book, it is my sincere hope that the Biblical and historical character Moses will become &ldquo;alive&rdquo; to you, and you may be encouraged to pursue the same kind of lively relationship with God as Moses did.</p>
<p>The 5 Respect Principles offers a supernatural faith-based framework to help men reconnect with their true identity in the faith and heal from traumatic wounds, emotional or relational. Rooted in the unshakable foundation of agape love, this book guides men through five essential principles that restore connection with their God-given selves, as well as giving and receiving respect among other men. Ultimately, it sharpens their sense of honor and love and respect with our Creator, God the Father, in Jesus Christ our Lord.</p>

"John McConnell was visiting elementary school classrooms to teach science when he came upon a shy third-grade boy who did not want to go to school. Ryan wanted to stay home and build robots. That sparked McConnell?s interest, and he discovered Ryan had an intensity for electronics uncommon for his age. The boy already had great building skills and was doing circuit drawings. The author?s curiosity led him to mentor Ryan?an arrangement that lasted well beyond college and resulted in the winning of $500,000 worth of cash, scholarships, and a Dr. Glen Seaborg week trip to the Nobel Awards. When McConnell was not mentoring Ryan, he was visiting classes in the area, presenting his program hands-on science and mentoring other students. When a school district gave him six thousand square feet of space, he created the Western Colorado Math & Science Center with over 150 exhibits. Students came on field trips from more than 100 miles away. McConnell also conducted science workshops to train teachers, capping his career of volunteerism by founding the Eureka! McConnell Science Museum in Grand Junction, Colorado."
