As kids, we all had a favorite book. 'Monster on Mars' by bestselling author Ginger Marin of Bijou Entertainment is one of those books that will create a movie in the minds of children. Filled with mayhem and a healthy dose of humor, it is a delightful and engaging children's science fiction story that the whole family can enjoy.

The book follows the unexpected journey of Rolley, a spunky robot from JPL, who becomes an accidental hero on Mars after a series of events sends him rocketing to the Red Planet. Filled with humor, heart, and Martian mayhem, the story takes readers on a mind-bending, thrilling sci-fi ride as Rolley befriends the Goolgians while facing a deeper threat in the form of a legendary predator, Bogswampthing. Along the way, the book explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the unexpected potential within us all.

With a fresh twist on the hero's journey, 'Monster on Mars' is a cosmic adventure that is both fun and inspiring, making it a great addition to any children's library.

In a recent review, Vincent Dublado of Readers Favorite said, “Monsters on Mars succeeds at being two things at once: an enthralling young adult story and a decent and humorous science fiction story. It is a story that feels like a cross between Wall-E and Robots. This is a story with an appeal that is not limited to young readers. It works largely on its action-driven style as well as its evocative settings and characters that make it so astonishing. Moreover, considering that this is a planetary story, anyone can relate as it transcends human barriers. The story has a charming plot, and Ginger Marin involves you in a story with an idea and not just mindless scenarios involving close encounters with aliens. It involves something thoughtful, an idea that is especially stimulating to young readers and amusing for adults.”

NewInBooks called ‘Monster On Mars’, "A thrilling tale that blends humor, heart, and Martian mayhem, celebrating friendship, bravery, and the unexpected potential within us all."

Dr. Barbara Lavi Resolves To Empower People Discouraged By the Tragedy In Newtown By Teaching Them How To Keep Their Dreams Alive

This year the horrifying events in Newtown CT are casting a shadow over the holiday season. It is hard to feel joyful. New Year’s resolutions may seem trivial. Perhaps there will be less tinsel this year, but Dr. Lavi is hoping to help people put more substance into the holidays. She hopes to inspire people who may be feeling discouraged to find deeper meaning in life and reconnect with their aspirations for the future

Dr. Barbara Lavi is a licensed psychologist, public speaker, and author of 'The Wake Up And Dream Challenge.’ Her new book teaches how to overcome all kinds of adversity.

Many people lose sight of their dreams especially when events like those in Newtown challenge them to question the meaning of life. When we see innocent lives taken senselessly, we often become cynical and lose hope. Dr. Lavi believes that, “If we give in to this kind of negative thinking and abandon aspirations, we let fear control our lives.” For over thirty years Dr. Lavi has empowered people and helped them overcome loss, trauma and adversity by helping them reclaim their dreams. Her techniques can help during these difficult times. 'The Wake Up and Dream Challenge' teaches how to 'dream it forward' at any age, regardless of financial, health or personal challenges. Her clients made what seemed impossible possible. The book demonstrates ways any reader can overcome obstacles as well.

VC August, author of 'The Healing Hour,’ says that, “Giving this book to anyone who wants to plan their future, is stuck in a bad situation, or wants to enjoy every crumb of their lives on earth, would be the best gift ever; the key to living life to the fullest.”  Dr. Lavi understands that we have all been impacted by the events and are all grieving at varying levels. We vacillate from being glued to the news trying to make sense of senseless loss or turning the TV off trying to escape the powerful emotions that the images evoke.

In an everyman’s version of the Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet’s Giving Pledge, Dr. Lavi is donating 1/2 of the profits from every book sold to 21 Dream Nonprofit Organizations.(A Child Is Missing, The Blind Judo Foundation, Boaz and Ruth, Camp Young Judaea, Compass to Care, D.R.E.A.M., Inc, Denver Active 20 –30, The Dr.Cynthia Lucero Center, The Elimination of Prejudice, Enchanted Makeovers, Green Demolitions, HerShe Group Foundation, Higher Ground,  Menorah Park Center for Senior Living, MicroMuseum A Living Arts Center, Music From A Bottle, New York Says Thank You, Osprey Village, Inc., Rock & Wrap It Up, Simon’s Fund, and Voices Against Brain Cancer). These organizations are helping countless individuals across the United States reach their dreams while overcoming all kinds of challenges. Her website offers information about these organizations, a link to preview and purchase the book while donating to one or all of these organizations. Every book sold, therefore, helps make the world a better place.

Since people may need additional help this year, Just a day before the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School, Dr. Lavi had written a blog called: Take the New Year's Resolution Challenge encouraging people to try her techniques instead of making New Year's resolutions. She was offering a half hour complementary consultation to anyone who bought her book between December 13th and January 31st. In light of the events that have transpired, the offer seems even more appropriate since people may need additional help getting through the holidays and refocusing on their dreams.  The consultation will help empower them to create lasting positive changes, not just New Year’s resolutions that often fall by the wayside.

Although our hearts are heavy this holiday season, Dr. Lavi encourages people to continue to dream of and work for "Peace on earth, good will toward men."  Regardless of religious affiliation, we can be inspired by the words and music which have additional significance this year. Dr. Lavi reports that she, "will never think of the words, 'And your strength broke their swords, when our own strength failed us,' from the song 'Rock of Ages' in the same way. Although  alone our strength may fail us, together, we must find strength to believe in miracles and take action to make them happen. By voicing our concerns and searching for creative solutions to the challenges we face, out of this tragedy, we must find the strength to build a better safer world."

Dr. Barbara Lavi is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at DrBarbaraLavi@ACTNowPsychotherapy.com. 'The Wake Up And Dream Challenge' is available on her website and at Amazon.com. More information is available on her website at www.WakeUpAndDreamChallenge.com.

She holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Child Psychology and a Doctorate in Professional Psychology.

Christian Author Harel Lawrence To Donate 100% Of Proceeds From Book Sales To Japan Aid Effort

Harel Lawrence’s award winning book, 'Take A Closer Look', is a poetic examination of faith, love and spirituality written to open readers' eyes. He now hopes to open people's eyes to the dire need of the Japanese people

The recent catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan have brought the problems faced by mankind into much sharper focus. Governments, corporations and individuals have responded to these horrific events with offers of billions in aid. Many of us may feel our own small gifts, though well meaning and sincere, may be too small and insignificant in light of the unimaginable amount of assistance required. Harel Lawrence, author of 'Take A Closer Look', believes that no effort is too small. In his opinion, it is the thought that counts. He intends to donate 100% of the profits from his book to World Vision to aid the people of Japan, and he is asking others to do the same.

"I feel that if I can make a difference," stated Mr. Lawrence, "in one persons life and do everything I can to help others, I feel that it is all worth the effort. I also want to do all I can to spread the love and do what ever I can to serve those that are in need. Making the difference and changing the life of others shows my concerns for the families that have lost their loved ones and those that are missing. If I can inspire and encourage others to make a difference and spread the love for others then everything I do is for the right reason. The sacrifices that we make, to give and to share our love for others and not to expect anything in return, is all worth it."

Harel Lawrence’s latest release, 'Take A Closer Look: A Spiritual Journey Into The Soul', serves as a tool for closer examination of love, faith and Christian spirituality.

Mr. Lawrence's poems are not ordinary Christian poems or Christian poetry, but are instead prose poems, which gives the thoughts they contain a more meaningful presentation. These thoughts can be inspiring and can make a wonderful collection for anyone who is searching for the right path and for love in our difficult age. The book contains inspirational and encouraging thoughts for readers of all ages. After each poem, he offers brief interpretations of each poem to help guide readers in their understanding.

“My hope,” continued Mr. Lawrence, “is that each reader will find their own meaning in these poems to help and guide them. And I hope that the glory of God will touch each person's heart and bring the reader as much enjoyment as I experienced when writing these thoughts.”

All profits from the sale of 'Take A Closer Look' from March 22, 2011 to September 30, 2011 will be donated to World Vision. World Vision is "a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice."

The Editor's Choice Award was presented to Harel Lawrence on November 2005 and 2006 for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry. This was presented by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry. Lawrence received the National Poet Laureate through poetry.com for the reviews that he has received for his poems submitted at poetry.com. He also received the International Who's Who in Poetry for some of the poems.

Author Harel Lawrence Appears On The Christian Authors Show Radio To Discuss His Christian Poetry Book ‘Take A Closer Look'

Lawrence’s awarding winning book is a poetic examination of faith, love and spirituality written to open readers' eyes

[August 25, Wilmington NC] Harel Lawrence’s latest release, Take A Closer Look: A Spiritual Journey Into The Soul, serves as a tool for closer examination of love, faith and Christian spirituality.

One need look no further than today’s headlines to see that mankind may be in serious trouble: war in the Middle East and elsewhere, oil spills in the Gulf Of Mexico and China, prejudice, governmental corruption, global terrorism – all these are at an all time high. There seems to be no end in sight. Mankind looks for solutions to these worldly problems in the world itself. Author Harel Lawrence believes this approach may be wrong and that the answer to any problem can be found by taking a closer look within.

"I wrote this book," stated Mr. Lawrence, "for many reasons. But I feel that my reasons are best expressed in 1st Corinthians: 'This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words'".

Mr. Harel's poems are not ordinary Christian poems or Christian poetry, but are instead prose poems, which gives the thoughts they contain a more meaningful presentation. These thoughts can be inspiring and can make a wonderful collection for anyone who is searching for the right path and for love in our difficult age.

The book contains inspirational and encouraging thoughts for readers of all ages. After each poem, he offers brief interpretations of each poem to help guide readers in their understanding.

“My hope,” continued Mr. Harel, “is that each reader will find their own meaning in these poems to help and guide them. And I hope that the glory of God will touch each person's heart and bring the reader as much enjoyment as I experienced when writing these thoughts.”
