The Grateful Life is a guide to discovering – and realizing – one’s dreams though a positive attitude. Through years of research and practice, authors Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons have discovered that grateful living can transform lives. Grateful people are happier people.

Filled with motivational quotes, resources and exercises, The Grateful Life will help people on their journey to create the life they’ve always wanted.

Baseball Over the Air
This narrative contains the documentation and interpretation of two imaginative pastimes (radio and baseball) and illuminates each in a unique manner. It integrates radio and baseball historically, sociologically, and culturally using the common themes of imaginative expression. This book is a unique approach into the magic of radio's imaginative power. Broadcasting baseball on the radio has brought many millions of Americans an imaginative link to a game that is built upon recollections of athletic achievement that ring far truer in our "sweet imaginations." Through the use of our imaginations, we can see the game itself as more than just a game, but a gateway to an imaginative realm beyond the reality of everyday life.

Grace Amid Tragedy
Among the books written about the Hurricane Katrina tragedy, Grace Amid Tragedy stands out with its broader perspective and inspiring message. As a Red Cross volunteer, Jim Clark was a first-hand witness to the catastrophic damage and the heart-wrenching stories. Going beyond that, however, Clark finds the silver lining in this literal storm, with recognition of the Katrina response as the largest outpouring of donations, volunteers, and compassion in our country's history. Chronicling the courage and spiritual growth of a handful of hurricane victims over the five month period after the hurricane, along with his own sense of personal growth, we are left with an uplifting and insightful testament to the human spirit. Fifty percent of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the hurricane Katrina rebuilding effort. "If you're seeking more meaning in your life, this book is an inspiring guide. Jim Clark's descriptions of his experiences with the Hurricane Katrina relief effort make us all feel more alive, connected, and open to our own intuitive, wake-up calls." -- Susan Skog, author
