Award Winning Author Paula Paul To Receive First Place Gold Medal In Miami For Recent Fantasy Novel 'Wizard'

Paula Paul writes extraordinary stories that touch the heart and challenge the mind. Her works cross genres with ease and include historical fiction, literary works, mystery and YA novels. 'Wizard' was named a Gold Medal First Place winner in the General Fantasy category

'Wizard', award winning author Paula Paul's latest fantasy novel, was named a Gold Medal First Place winner in the General Fantasy category in the 2012 Readers Favorite Book Awards. Ms Paul will receive her gold medal at the Readers Favorite awards ceremony to be held in Miami, Florida on November 17, 2012 at 1pm. The ceremony is being held in conjunction with the Miami Book Festival International which runs November 16-18 at the Regency Hotel.

In addition to her First Place award, Ms. Paul was also chosen as a finalist for the 2012 edition of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'. She was chosen as the result for her appearance on The Authors Show radio in which she discussed this latest novel.

"Wizard is a book," stated Ms. Paul, "that deals with bullying from the viewpoint of both a victim and a reluctant bystander who happen to be the same person. It's a book that I hope will make readers think. I'm  exceptionally pleased for the recent recognition of the book, both as a Readers Favorite Gold Medal winner and for gaining me a spot as a finalist in the 50 Great Authors You Should Be Reading competition."

Paula Paul is a writer who touches the hearts of her readers but also challenges their minds.  She writes novels with both historical and contemporary settings, but all of her novels deal with the foibles, prejudices, misdemeanors and benevolences of humanity that transcend time.  Most of her books, both contemporary and historical, examine social issues. Although some of her novels have told the stories of some of the great figures of history, she is best known for her stories of ordinary people, specifically the people of the southwestern U.S. where she was born and has spent all of her life.

'Wizard' is the story of Merlin's 15-year-old sister Meghan, who is accidentally transported to twenty-first-century America.  She is happy to be out of Avalon where she was being bullied for being a wizard because females are supposed to be witches.  She finds modern America  just as dangerous in some respects for those who are different, and there is no doubt that the new time and place are confusing to her.  Since she's out of practice with her wizardry skills, she finds herself in plenty of trouble.  Although the book is written with a teenage protagonist, it was named a Gold Medal First Place winner in the General Fantasy category.

Paul's literary novels include ‘Inherited Sins’, in which a young widow falls in love with a minister who is married, and ‘Crazy Quilt’, her first literary novel. One third of the royalties from ‘Crazy Quilt’ go to cancer research.

In addition, Paula is the author of ‘The Kings Nun’, an historical fiction novel that is the story of Charlemagne's love for the nun, Amelia of the Ardennes, and an historical novel, ‘Barefoot Girl’, a deep look at a courageous heroine. Mysteries include ‘Half A Mind To Murder’, ‘An Improper Death’, ‘Symptoms of Death’, ‘Leading An Elegant Death’, ‘Deathday Party’ and ‘Red Wine Goes With Murder’.

Paula Paul will also appear on Book Candy TV with bestselling author Liese Sherwood-Fabre to discuss their books and their approach for writing good old-fashioned and gimmick-free storytelling. Paula will be discussing her historical fiction novel 'Sins Of The Empress'. Chat lines for questions and answers will be available. The show will air on November 3, 2012 at 5pm Eastern, 2pm Pacific.

Ms. Paul is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at paulapaul7@yahoo.com. More information regarding the above works, and many more, is available at her website. All of Ms. Paul’s works are available at her website and at Amazon.com.

Award Winning Author Diane Mae Robinson Releases New Children’s Book, 'Sir Princess Petra'

Written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and reminiscent of 'Shrek', reviewers have labeled the award winning book a 'fantasy adventure that is sure to become a timeless classic.'

Canadian author Diane Mae Robinson has released her latest children's book, 'Sir Princess Petra'. 'Sir Princess Petra’, the first book in the Pen Pieyu adventures, features surprising plot twists and turns, brilliant flashes of humor, zany characters and is rooted in timeless values that shine through the charismatic main character.

The book has received a number of high-level book awards including second place in Purple Dragonfly Book Awards for Children's Chapter Book, and was awarded 5 stars by Readers Favorite. Robinson was awarded the Lieutenant Governor Of Alberta Arts Emerging Artists Awards for Children's Book Author and was recently chosen as a finalist for '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'.

Robinson believes that "by instilling kindness, understanding, and respect in our children, they will be able to make their difficult situations easier and accomplish what they set out to do in a better way."

"Dragon books," stated Ms. Robinson, "have always been a passion of mine. Including a dragon as a secondary character in my fantasy/adventure series just seemed natural."

Dragon books are one of the most popular segments of fantasy fiction and children's books in today's marketplace. Here, in this fantasy fiction work, Robinson uses the dragon books concept as the background to teaching young people traditional values. In the story line, Princess Petra’s unusual birthday request to become a royal knight sends the royal court into a frenzy. But when she agrees to undertake a knight’s quest, not even the royal rulebook, with its list of outrageous knight deeds, can dissuade her. Armed with a cake knife and a suit of the best royal pots and pans, Petra chooses to hush the howling dragon, Snarls, in the Forest of Doom and win her real armour. Ms. Robinson's highly praised work demonstrates that dragon books can be something much more than dragon books.

"Snarls is a dragon," continued Robinson, "that every reader will love: he is witty, comical, and endearing.  He may even set a new standard for dragons in dragon books."

Ms Robinson is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at robinsond@mscnet.ca. More information, including reviews, information for teachers and librarians and a special children’s section is available at her website. 'Sir Princess Petra' is available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Tate Publishing.

About Diane Mae Robinson:

Diane Mae Robinson has a journalism diploma from the Schools of Montreal, and an advanced diploma from the Institute of Children's Literature in Connecticut.  She is also an artist, and teaches acrylic and watercolor art to children. She lives with her husband, Allen, in a small hilltop castle near St. Paul, Alberta.  They have four dogs and three horses, along with a forest inhabited by gnomes, fairies, a princess, and a dragon. This magical forest is where Diane creates her characters and gets the inspiration for her stories.

Dr. Larry Manley, Author Of 'Filling My Life With Joy', Details His Real Life 'The Pursuit Of Happiness' Story

Motivating books and inspirational books can be found everywhere. Many of these are platitudes, simple words of encouragement or motivation based on theory. Dr. Larry Manley writes from real life experience. In his latest book he details how he overcame incredible challenges to create a life filled with joy. He demonstrates clearly how others can achieve that goal

Dr. Larry Manley has released 'Filling My Life With Joy/A Guide to the Better You'. Dr. Manley's new work describes his own 35-year journey through addiction, homelessness, jail and eventual redemption through sheer determination, perseverance and faith. His story has been called a real life version of 'The Pursuit Of Happiness'.

Dr. Manley's book differs from other motivating books, inspirational books and religious books. He teaches readers how to nourish their souls with what he calls the three 'essential ingredients', and asks them to then stand back and watch it grow.

“I wrote the book," stated Dr. Manley, "to help people find their way back to their place of honor and respect; to be able to live a life of joy as God intended. I discovered my own personal joy from an unseen force of Supreme Authority that convinced me to once again stand tall."

In this inspirational book, Dr. Manley shares three powerful concepts that, if embraced, can bring peace, joy and success to anyone's life, regardless of circumstance:

1. Something that's right for us to do
2. Somethign that's right for us to love
3. Something that's right for us to hope for

"My revelation," Dr. Manley continued, "compelled me to share these three things that can bring joy to anyone’s life. These facets are something that’s right for us to do, love and hope for. As ‘gardeners of our soul’, these powerful forces can cause our lives to bloom once again."

While primarily a Christian's book, 'Filling My Life With Joy' provides rock solid, true-to-life, specific guidance to anyone who might be experiencing life challenges, regardless of the severity or perceived hopelessness of those challenges. As the popular movie 'The Pursuit Of Happyness' gave thousands of people hope, Dr. Manley offers not only encouragement and motivation but also specific methods for achieving one’s goals. Above all, he provides proof that anyone can overcome the challenges faced by following the guidance in 'Filling My Life With Joy/A Guide To The Better You'.

Dr. Manley is available for interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at drlmanley@gmail.com. 'Filling My Life with Joy/A Guide to the Better You', is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and WestBow Press. More information on both his new release and his ministry is available at his website.

Profile:

Dr. Manley is the Executive Director & Senior Pastor of the House of Destiny International Ministries. He is a Christian counselor, teacher, minister, an inspirational public speaker. Other Christian books include 'Majestic One' and 'Jungle Within'.

Dr. Manley served in the U.S. Navy and was Honorably Discharged in 1971. He was awarded the National Defense Award Medal for his military service. He is a Graduate of the Leadership Development Institute of Spartanburg, SC, and holds a Doctorate of Divinity at Progressive Life Church. He is a graduate of South Carolina Baptist Convention New Works Seminar, and is a graduate of The Granoff School of Music.

Author Stephanie Hart Releases 'Mirror, Mirror', An Inspirational Book That Can Help Dysfunctional Families Overcome Past Challenges

Stephanie Hart's memoir is a literary work, filled with inspirational and motivational vignettes that can help people raised in dysfunctional families revisit and re-imagine their own personal narratives

Eric Hoffer Award Finalist Stephanie Hart has released her third book, 'Mirror, Mirror: A Collection of Memoirs and Stories'. This inspirational book motivates the reader to see the past not as an obstacle to be overcome, but rather as a present catalyst for personal growth. The book has drawn rave reviews from industry reviewers including Foreword Reviews and Kirkus Reviews.

Hart's latest work is a seamless blend of both real and imagined memories. It is a motivational book filled with inspirational stories in which readers will see their own lives reflected in a series of compelling vignettes. Readers will be given the opportunity to reflect on their own stories and personal narratives. The work will be especially pertinent to those raised in dysfunctional families. 

"I wrote this book," stated Ms. Hart, "because I wanted to honor and transcend my difficult past.  The writing process was a journey of discovery and enlightenment.  People and places came alive to me in a way, which was both familiar and totally new.  I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next. I want to share that excitement with my readers."

'Mirror, Mirror' takes the reader from Manhattan in the 1950's to Moscow in the 1800's, then back to the twenty-first century. Hart bares her soul by inviting readers into her world: her magical and unsettling early childhood by the sea, her years spent as the only Jewish girl in a Presbyterian boarding school, her urban high school years during which conflict with her mercurial and charismatic mother reaches a crescendo, and the weight of her father’s anger and the unrealized dreams that press down upon her. While acknowledging the mirror of the past, she shows us the love and friendship reflected in her current life, celebrating the generative power of each moment to transform experience.

"I believe readers will enjoy this book," Hart continued, "because each vignette is a compelling story in itself.  The stories come together to create a powerful narrative. Readers will relate to my experiences and see their own lives reflected in them.  They will be inspired to hold up a mirror to the past so they can walk more courageously into the future."

Foreword Reviews stated, “[R]eflective readers, who seek artistic healing of the common hurts of growing up and growing older, will find that Mirror Mirror speaks powerfully.” Kirkus Reviews stated "… Each section reads as though she intuitively regressed to capture the emotional mindset of whatever age she was recalling. She also reveals how she rose above the negativity and eventually realized her authentic self. The stories culled from her memory, as well as the way in which they’re analyzed and organized, map a process of overcoming childhood adversity. A hopeful, finely rendered portrait of a dysfunctional family and its effects on the author.”

Stephanie Hart is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at hart.stephanie47@gmail.com 'Mirror, Mirror' is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Powell's Books, Indie Bound, Hart's website and other online book outlets. Kindle and Nook versions are available.

About Stephanie Hart:

Stephanie Hart teaches writing at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. Her third book, 'Mirror Mirror: A Collection of Memoirs and Stories', expands upon the series of fast- paced vignettes presented in 'Clouds Like Horses and Other Stories'. A member of Poets and Writers, and the Authors Guild, her stories and essays have appeared in anthologies such as Mondo James Dean, The Best Stories from ducts.org, and literary magazines including The Sun, Jewish Currents, And Then, and ducts.org.

God And Science: Author Jerry Pollock PhD Provides Evidence For God In 'Putting God Into Einstein's Equations: Energy Of The Soul'

Books on the existence of God can be found in great number. Few offer real proof or evidence. From the purely scientific perspective, the evidence for God is nonexistent. Yet experiential proof of God and miracles does exist for many believers. Now Jerry Pollock, PhD, may have at last jumped the 'God versus science' hurdle in 'Putting God Into Einstein's Equations: Energy Of The Soul'

Author Jerry Pollock, PhD, has released 'Putting God Into Einstein's Equations: Energy Of The Soul'. In this groundbreaking work he blends science and spirituality in a way that has never been done before - through scientific measurements.

'How do I find God?' This question is common to people all over the world. Theological differences aside, nearly all people yearn for scientific evidence for God to validate their spiritual belief systems. Very few people take a middle position in this discussion. God and science are not compatible in the minds of many. The 'God or science' debate has raged for centuries, with most people coming down squarely on one side or the other of the debate.  Yet many famous scientists believed in a Supreme Being to account for the unexplained intricacies of our universe, planet, and the human body. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were two of them. Jerry Pollock believes the issue may not be 'God OR science', but is rather 'God AND science'.

"I have had Divine intervention and miracles in my life," Pollock stated, "and I have heard God’s Voice twice in our physical world in 1982 and once at the end of 1998. . Unlike others who claim to have spoken with God, I actually can check my soul energy to be sure it was God, and when I do it indeed turns out to actually be Him speaking to me. I can also check my soul energy to see if others really had conversations with God."

'Putting God Into Einstein's Equations' is a sweeping and comprehensive work. The book answers questions about God, the big bang, Einstein’s Relativity Equations and how they fit in with God’s energy, soul mates and love, the spirit world of souls, past lives, telepathic thought-energy communication, eliminating negative body-soul energy, intelligence of the soul, acquiring spirituality, miracles, resurrection and reincarnation, the Devil, good and evil, and how we can live for the eternity. The book was co-authored with his deceased wife, Marcia Pollock.

"We are stuck in a quandary in the 'God versus science' debate," Pollock continued, "as the scientists demand proof and yet there is no scientific proof to be offered. It’s all anecdotal evidence, as the atheists would claim. People have had near death experiences, encountered angels, visited the soul world, and experienced miracles, but according to the scientists none of these metaphysical experiences counts. Yet if there was really hard proof of God’s existence in modern times, there would be no need for people to have faith. Perhaps all of man’s history has been God’s scientific experiment to separate out those who have faith and those who don’t. It is more likely that there is no need for debate at all."

Jerry Pollock is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at jerrypollock@bellsouth.net. More information is available at his website. 'Putting God Into Einstein's Equations: Energy Of The Soul' is available at his website, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Profile:

Dr. Jerry Pollock is Professor Emeritus from Stony Brook University on Long Island where for thirty years he was an academic and research scientist publishing seventy-five scientific articles including seven patents. He holds bachelors and masters degrees in Pharmacy from the University of Toronto, a PhD in Biophysics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and has postdoctoral training in Microbiology from New York University Medical Center. Marcia Pollock is deceased and held a bachelors degree in psychology from Stony Brook University and a Master of Arts in Special Education from C. W. Post University on Long Island. Marcia and Jerry are the coauthors of their recently published unique book, “Putting God Into Einstein’s Equations: Energy of the Soul.” Jerry wrote from our earthly world and Marcia’s soul suggested and confirmed from the spirit world.

In the interview Ms. Kaiser details her path to becoming an animal communicator and how learning to communicate with animals can lead to a better understanding and a deeper relationship with pets.  Communication with animals through an animal communication consultant is important in regards to facilitating healing, increasing understanding between people and their pets and in the development of solutions for behavioral problems.

“When I was taught,” stated Ms. Kaiser, “that companion animals had come into being to answer our souls’ cries for help, it resonated deeply within me. Readers of ‘Tales Of An Animal Communicator’ will gain a new perspective about their animals from the lives and lessons of the animals that chose me to be their person, student, and teacher. These animals have waited a long time for their tales to be written, but their wait is finally over.”

‘Tales Of An Animal Communicator’ chronicles the tales of the remarkable animals that taught Nancy Kaiser that she was destined to be an animal communicator and healer. Having left pharmacy to manage her equine hospital and breeding farm in central New Jersey, she found that astonishing animals and events began entering her life. From her life on Fair Chance Farm, through her move to the mountains of North Carolina, the lessons and unconditional love of the extraordinary animals that surround this gifted woman will astound readers.

Nancy’s recent interview is available through December 2012 at The Authors Show site. Other upcoming appearances during October and November by Nancy Kaiser include:

* Nov. 17, 2012   5 – 5:30 pm ET - Charmaine Hammond’s PAWSitive Radio

“Forming deeper and more meaningful relationships with their pets” continued Ms. Kaiser, “is reported by many readers of Tales. Viewing their pets through new eyes created by reading Tales allows readers to recognize the lessons they’re being offered by their animals. By enhancing my readers’ relationships with their pets, I am achieving my primary mission of healing the human-animal bond.”

Dr. Richard Ruhling Announces Release Of New Book, Some Say Financial Collapse In 2012 With A Focus On The U.S. Debt; Many Believe America Is In Decline

Dr. Richard Ruhling, author and radio talk show host, believes that just as obedience to physical laws brings health, obedience to moral laws brings happiness and freedom. His new book, 'Wake Up America', urges all Americans to take a hard look at where we are headed and how we can avert what appears to be certain disaster

Dr. Richard Ruhling announced today the release of his latest book, 'Wake Up America: How To Survive Change And Obama Without Guns, Money or Rapture'. The new book has been written to help Americans understand that both the Constitution and The 10 Commandments encourage all people to find the courage to do the right thing and to govern themselves - without the intervention of big government. Many Americans wonder about a financial collapse in 2012. Many are worried about the United States debt level. Many believe America is in decline.

Dr. Richard Ruhling, a retired physician, cites Pulitzer-prize winner Chris Hedges-- “We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroy morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”

What is financial crisis? Ruhling also cites the Chicapo Tribune--banks were given “3-6 months” notice by federal regulators of possible collapse, “emphasizing banks could not count on government help” meaning trouble could come between the election and inauguration. The US debt level is at its highest point in history. That financial crisis may be upon us now.

He also states that the federal government apparently believes trouble is impending because numerous sources report a buildup of troops and movement of tanks and armor across America. In the eyes of many, this is verifiable proof that America is in decline.

Obama's Executive Orders last March set off alarm bells with Congresswoman Kay Granger-- “President Obama issued an Executive Order that you should know about. This order gives an unprecedented level of authority to the President and the federal government to take over all the fundamental parts of our economy [even] force U.S. citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of "national defense."  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYqwkNPZg

Ruhling believes things are so serious that it won't matter who wins the election. Humpty Dumpty cannot be put back together again. The US debt level, the economic crisis and the possibility of a financial collapse in 2012. Surviving the coming changes is at the forefront of the American consciousness.

More information is available at Dr. Ruhling's book website at http://WakeUpAmericaForTheEnd.com/the-book.  'Wake Up America: How To Survive Change And Obama Without Guns, Money or Rapture' will be available on Amazon's Kindle.'

Profile:

Dr. Richard Ruhling is the author of a number of books including ‘The Bridegroom Comes’, and ‘Why You Shouldn’t Ask Your Doctor - Choices That Can Save Your Life’, both books are available on Amazon.

Dr. Ruhling serves as host of WakeUpAmericaForTheEnd.com radio. Dr. Ruhling is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below, or by email at ruhling7@juno.com.

Attorney Seena Foster, Award Winning Author Of ‘Civil Rights Investigations’, Announces New Sexual Harassment Webinar For Personnel At Educational Institutions

The recurring training webinar titled ‘Sexual Harassment at Educational Institutions: An Overview of Policies and Preventative Measures’, provides information for equal opportunity, human resource, and affirmative action personnel at educational institutions as well as the leadership, policy-makers, faculty, staff, and students

Seena Foster, attorney and award winning author of ‘Civil Rights Investigations Under The Workforce Investment Act And Other Title VI-Related Laws’, recently announced the next date for ‘Sexual Harassment at Educational Institutions: An Overview of Policies and Preventative Measures’, an online webinar that provides information on developing policies and implementing preventative measures to prevent sexual harassment at educational institutions. The webinar will be presented on Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 1pm EST.

In the course of this webinar, Ms. Foster will use the sexual harassment case involving Jerry Sandusky and Penn State as an example of some concrete steps any educational institution can take in developing policies and implementing specific measures to address and prevent sexual harassment. The events leading up to the conviction of Mr. Sandusky involved use of university facilities to engage in sexual behavior with minors.  The scope of this webinar, however, will be broader. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act (Title IX) prohibits gender-based discrimination in federally assisted educational programs and activities.  Quid pro quo sexual harassment and hostile sexual environment (including bullying) constitute forms of gender-based discrimination, and a college or university that fails to properly and adequately respond to such allegations violates Title IX and is at risk of losing its federal assistance.  This federal assistance includes grants, loans, and tuition payments made with federal funds, to name a few examples.  Through the webinar, Ms. Foster will develop an understanding of quid pro quo sexual harassment and hostile sexual environment, and will cover some nuts-and-bolts policies, procedures, and preventative measures any college or university can develop to properly address allegations of sexual harassment and minimize its occurrence.

“Sexual harassment," stated Ms. Foster, "at colleges and universities is a very real concern.  It affects every campus, small or large, across the country and the advent of technologies such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have only compounded the challenges faced by leadership at these institutions in navigating the handling of sexual harassment complaints.  In fact, many campus professionals are at a loss as to how to properly recognize and resolve sexual harassment complaints and, often, they don’t have measures in place to prevent harassment from occurring in the first place. The nationally-recognized trial involving Jerry Sandusky and Penn State’s response to allegations of sexual harassment shed light on how critical this complex issue has become.  That is why we developed this webinar.  Keeping leadership, policymakers, faculty, and staff up-to-date in this area of the law is critical to the health of any institution of higher learning.  Our training has been described as “top-of-the-line” and that is what we deliver the participants of this Webinar.”

Author Hope Bradford Releases ‘You Are Eternal: Kuan Yin's Universal Truths’

Author Hope Bradford’s new book offers more of Kuan Yin’s channeled teachings regarding personal reincarnation patterns and other spiritual concepts including the law of attraction, manifestation, reincarnation, compassion and the future of mankind

Reincarnation is a subject that fascinates readers for both Eastern and Western audiences. Is the soul eternal? Do we reincarnate? If so, why do we reincarnate and what is the purpose of reincarnation?

Author Hope Bradford is pleased to announce the release of her latest work, ‘You Are Eternal: Kuan Yin’s Universal Truths’. The new book offers more of Kuan Yin’s eternal wisdom. Previous books covered the Law of Attraction, manifestation, abundance, the power of simple acts of kindness and the Law of Compassion. In ‘You Are Eternal: Kuan Yin’s Universal Truths’, the deity enumerates not only Her interpretation of the Law of Attraction, but also thirteen other Universal Laws. Integral to all of this are personal reincarnation patterns.

“I was inspired to write this book,” stated Ms. Bradford, “to help heal certain misguided beliefs hindering personal growth and provide the best possible tools for achieving happiness and success. The Kuan Yin Universal Truths show that you always have the opportunity to steadily improve the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of your life. Your perspective on free will as a vehicle for happiness is the living root creating your present pathway: 'No one else is responsible for your happiness but you. And no one else but you can completely understand your definition of happiness.’- Kuan Yin”

Humanity has (through the channeled information of extremely intuitive beings), periodically attracted crucial information to assist in understanding the nature of personal and mass reality—that we are eternal, spiritual beings living a human existence and we reincarnate into that reality many times. Kwan Yin’s messages are critical to understanding reincarnation as they could prevent repeated incarnations into limiting realities of our own karmic making. Included in this new work are true-life accounts illustrating the validity of Her teachings.

According to Kuan Yin, earth is the most important step in our evolution where we, as limitless beings, achieve physical manifestation in all of its complexities; where beliefs, intentions and desires are the driving forces for reality. Kuan Yin reminds us always that there is no real beginning or end; there are but dynamics that will determine the nature and quality of a particular incarnation.

“Readers will enjoy this book,” Bradford continued, “because of its fresh insights and true to life examples demonstrating Kuan Yin's Universal Truths. These examples personalize how ones waking life and dreams are constantly influenced by these forces. Providing its own unique framework, this book offers a clearly delineated pathway for achieving happiness and success.”

Ms. Bradford is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at kuanyinspirit@hotmail.com. More information on all of Ms. Bradford’s titles is available at Amazon.com.

Profile:

Hope Bradford is a Certified Hypnotherapist and is the author of seven books detailing the teaching of Kuan Yin. Titles include ‘Beneficial Law Of Attraction: The Manifestation Teachings’, ‘The Living Word Of Kuan Yin: The Teachings And Prophecies Of The Goddess Of Compassion and Mercy’, ‘Oracle Of Compassion: The Living Word Of Kuan Yin’, ‘The Gods Have Spoken Prophecy 2012 And Beyond: The 2012 Ascension-Compassion Vigils’, ‘Kuan Yin: The Universe Will Bring What You Want – The Science Of Miracles;, ‘Kuan Yin: 200 Timeless Truths’ and ‘You Are Eternal: Kuan Yin’s Universal Truths’.

Ms Bradford has studied ancient and contemporary wisdom and philosophy and has acquired extensive expertise in Transpersonal Hypnosis and teaching the law of attraction. In spite of this, she could never have imagined the singular psychic event that would transform her life when, in the winter of 2004, a hypnosis client, Lena Lees, spontaneously channeled the Eastern deity of Compassion, Kuan Yin.

Wichita Kansas Christian Devotional Author And Speaker Kristi Burchfiel Releases The Daily Devotional Series: Psalm Volume 3

Kristi Burchfiel is a Christian devotional author and speaker who believes in ‘living in the world while living out the word’. 'The Daily Devotional Series: Psalm, Volume 3' is the latest release in her popular Daily Devotional Series

Christian devotional author and speaker Kristi Burchfiel has announced the release of 'The Daily Devotional Series: Psalm, Volume 3'. The new release is the latest in her popular Daily Devotional Series and covers chapter 107 through 150 in the book of Psalm.

The Christian devotional contains short daily devotions that are designed to focus on one truth from a verse in the Bible and then lead the reader in a response that they can take with them and apply throughout the day. The book includes an introduction to how to use the guide as well as background information about Psalm in general and these chapters specifically.

"With the day to day life being so busy for many people," Burchfiel stated, "it is often difficult for Christians to find much time to spend doing a Christian devotional. I created The Daily Devotional Series to help believers have the bible tools necessary to read through a verse each day and lock on to one truth from that Bible verse. Then, each devotional ends with a response time where the reader can pray and ask God to apply that truth to their life."

Kristi writes applicable Bible Studies. Her works include ‘Without Regrets: A Study Of Ecclesiastes,’ ‘The Decay Within: A Study of Amos,’ and an ebook series entitled ‘The Daily Devotional Series’. Several years ago, God led Kristi Burchfiel through some difficult times in her personal life. Only by studying the truths found in the Bible did she find the answers she needed to get her life back on track.  She now works daily to continue putting those truths into practice.  She is passionate about studying the Bible and invites others to share in the peace of God through the truths found in God’s word. As a Christian devotional author, she believes in living in the world while living out the Word.

“As a Christian devotional author,” Burchfiel stated, “I am passionate about writing online devotions and bible studies for women and men. A Christian devotional is more than just words on a page, and more than reading through Bible study topics. A true Christian devotional takes bible study topics and bible tools and looks at the truths found in God’s word and then shows people how to apply those truths to their life. Just knowing the word of God is not enough - we must live it out.”

In addition to writing Christian devotionals, Kristi speaks on a variety of different topics including sections from her Bible study books, devotionals, life lessons, personal testimony and the book publishing process. She has been the keynote speaker for women's conferences, led workshops during all day events, and delivered the message in worship services and Sunday School classes. She has also spoken with literacy groups and has appeared numerous times in interviews for websites, radio, and television. She also provides an online devotional for the day and other Bible tools.

“Personally,” Burchfiel continued,  “I like to have something to learn and focus on each day, but I can’t always remember multiple points. This is why having a devotional for the day is so important to me and why I write online devotionals for women and men. I want to help people to take time to study God’s Word, even if it’s only briefly, so they can have a truth they can focus on for the day.”

Kristi Burchfiel is available for media interviews and speaking engagements. She can be reached using the information below, or by email at k_burchfiel@yahoo.com. More information is available at her website. All Kristi’s books, Christian devotionals, Bible studies for men and women and ebooks are available at Amazon.com and at her website. 'The Daily Devotional Series: Psalm, Volume 3' is available at Smashwords.com. A Kindle version of the book is available at Amazon.com.

Profile:

Kristi Burchfiel grew up in Valley Center, Kansas and received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Oklahoma. She and her husband,  D Burchfiel have been married for 14 years. She resides in Wichita Kansas where D is the pastor of Southwest Baptist Church.
