Through these trials and tribulations, The Evolution of Dr. Steve Pratt transforms a young, cocky emergency room doctor into a mature, well-rounded physician. This book is based on characters that I've been writing for a number of years. It seems weird letting these characters out so that they can be enjoyed by others. It's like letting children out to play for the first time by themselves and I'm the nervous mother, watching at a near-by distance. I've been writing this story line with these characters, along with having a full-time job. I teach at Wichita West high school both Health Science and Physical Education. The Health Science class teaches medical career information, which ties in with the content of my book.
"To not forgive perpetuates the violation by others of your personal and sacred boundaries and most importantly the violation upon yourself." Our love for ourselves must be unwavering, unmoveable and unshakable. When we do not forgive, we weaken our self-love. Unforgiveness indicates that whatever we are holding onto is stronger, more important and more powerful than ourselves. This 40 Day Intentional Forgiveness Practice Workbook is designed for the reader to reclaim the true love of his/her self by delving into the daily exercises to release the maladies of the past thus reestablishing the personal and sacred boundaries of their core spiritual principles, values and personal power. The internal work required is intensive however, very much rewarding!!

The Cold War was approaching its height. Turbulence had spread to the Middle East, and steps had to be taken which no government could endorse. Step forward the Sixteen. A hand-picked, top-secret elite British killing squad, the Sixteen's purpose was to assassinate Communist sympathizers in the military. Their training surpassed the SAS in unarmed combat, weaponry and fear elimination. 40 years after their dissolution, Urwin breaks his silence in The Sixteen to divulge the riveting secrets of their four key missions. The Sixteen is of extreme relevance right now, touching upon Middle Eastern conflicts which remain with us to this day and urgently require positive responses. No previous account of a military group has remotely compared to the secrecy, skill and sheer professionalism of the Sixteen.

Visible throughout the entire Los Angeles Basin, Mt. Baldy, originally known as Mt. San Antonio and affectionately referred to as "Old Baldy," is the tallest peak in the majestic San Gabriel Mountains. Approximately 49 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Mt. Baldy first gained popularity during the Great Hiking Era--the decades before and after the turn of the 20th century--when visitors traveled up San Antonio Canyon to hike, camp, fish, and hunt. Before outdoor recreation became fashionable, the resource-rich area was a haven for gold miners and businessmen who sought their fortunes in the steep and rugged terrain. Despite natural disasters in recent decades, the mountain community continues to receive record numbers of visitors to its rustic lodges, state-of-the-art ski facilities, and superb hiking areas. The community of Mt. Baldy Village, once known as Camp Baldy, is a quaint and picturesque locale that includes a post office, volunteer fire department, school, church, visitor's center, and resort accommodations.

Was Bowie an aloof and unavailable artist, or a 'Starman' who descended to bring good news to the masses...a chameleon? David Bowie: The Collector teases out the elements which Bowie used to build his success: his profound sense of artifice, his ability to tap into the zeitgeist of his times and his gift for gathering ideas and influences from a variety of sources and rearranging them to produce not only new perspectives but also brand-new ideas. Revealed by the testimony of his closest friends and partners we see Bowie with humour, grace and humility – a highly focused Bowie – borrowing and combining ideas from multiple sources and creating new visions. Praise for this book. 'A gripping...
