Ebook Giveaway For Inspirational Historical Fiction Novel, Voyage Of Life, By Best Selling Author Richard McMaster

Voyage Of Life is a magnificent work that explores the full range of human emotion and demonstrates how love can withstand even the most profound events without fading away with time.

Bestselling author Richard McMaster has announced that the ebook version of his historical fiction novel, Voyage Of Life, will be available at no charge May 6 Through May, 7, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Richard-McMaster/author/B01LDIJ2QU?. McMaster considers Voyage Of Life to be one of his signature works. Readers and reviewers agree.

“While reading, you will smile, you will hesitate thinking, oh no, and you will cry, but there is a surprise toward the end. This is one of the best romantic books I have read.” In a story printed by The Hudson Weekly, Dennis Keller said, "There have been multiple authors that have made a significant contribution to the world of literacy. In the current era, we have come across several first-time authors with the gift of writing. Richard McMaster is an accomplished author whose works have been praised for their depth, complexity, and emotional resonance."

Voyage of Life is a captivating coming of age in the sixties story about a secret that takes a lifetime to uncover. It is a story about a man’s life, beginning with the period after WWII, continuing through the coming-of-age sixties, the triumphs and tragedies of manhood, and finding peace and resolution in old age. The breathtaking story has unfolding mysteries around losing a father, mother, wife, son, and friends and Sean’s perseverance in life and, in the end, reuniting with his first love.

The story is told as Thomas Cole’s Voyage of Life paintings are portrayed by the women he loves; childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. The paintings are a metaphor for Sean’s life—the verdant landscape and calm waters of childhood turn turbulent in youth, and then early in manhood, the rocky shores of manhood open to a promising sky of old age when he believes that his one true love left him for another man.

In the Hudson Weekly piece, Keller continued with "Richard McMaster never falls into the trap of presenting his characters as simplistic archetypes or caricatures, instead allowing them to emerge as fully-formed individuals with their unique voices and perspectives.

"In addition to his skillful characterization, he is also a master of plot and pacing. The structure of his novels keep readers engaged and invested in the story while also allowing for moments of quiet reflection and contemplation. The author’s writing is often described as “page-turning” or “gripping,” but it is also imbued with a sense of thoughtfulness and depth that elevates his work beyond mere genre fiction.

"Another notable aspect of his writing is his attention to historical detail. In Aaron’s War, he meticulously recreates the time of World War II, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of a world torn apart by war and genocide. In A Love Divided By Time, he offers readers a distinctive viewpoint on love and life. Overall, Richard McMaster is an author whose works are marked by a deep sense of humanity and empathy. Whether he is exploring the horrors of war or the complexities of human relationships, his writing is always grounded in a profound understanding of the human experience. His novels, Aaron’s War and A Love Divided by Time, are powerful testaments to the enduring power of storytelling and are sure to captivate readers with their vivid characters, intricate plots, and emotional depth."

Voyage Of Life will be available at no charge in ebook form May 6 through May 7, at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Richard-McMaster/author/B01LDIJ2QU?.

McMaster's other bestselling historical fiction novel, Aaron's War, details the struggles of a Jewish soldier's experience in WWII. It explores coming-of-age, antisemitism, forbidden marriage, PTSD, and substance abuse, resulting in a powerful story that takes the reader's breath away with its dramatic tale of love, bravery, and sacrifice.

Readers and reviewers praised Aaron's War. USA Today bestselling author Holly Roberts called Aarons War, "A coming of age story that grips your soul and takes you on a thought-provoking journey." Tom Porter, author of All I Need To Know About Business I Learned From A Duck stated, " Another review offered, “This remarkable book offers a most realistic look at the effects of war on the soldier, but also on his family, friends, and fellow recruits.” Another penned, “This remarkable book offers a most realistic look at the effects of war on the soldier, but also on his family, friends, and fellow recruits.

Aaron Vanko, an innocent Iowa farm boy, faces the ultimate test that countless veterans have grappled with throughout history: the harrowing decision to take another's life in the name of duty.

But just as Aaron prepares to embark on this mission, a stunning revelation threatens to upend his entire world: he learns of his Jewish heritage, a discovery that shatters his sense of identity and his relationship with the love of his life.

Despite his fears, Aaron moves ahead, fueled by an unwavering sense of duty and patriotism. But now, he must wage war on two fronts - battling the enemy outside who seek to eradicate the Jewish race, and the inner with ethical dilemma that rages within his own soul.

Aaron is taken on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, courage, and sacrifice, as he confronts the darkest corners of human nature and emerges forever changed.

Richard McMaster is also the author of A Love Divided By Time, described as "one part The Notebook, one-part suspenseful psychopath story, and one part Somewhere in Time." In that book, Forrest and Allie believed they found love in a previous life and being born again was a game of hide-and-seek to find each other in plain sight, seeking their better halves, united and whole. When tragedy strikes, Forrest makes a pact to find her killer, raise their daughter and find peace by joining her in the ever after.

Five New Self-Esteem Workbooks For Girls Age 8 And Up Now Available From Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

 

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best-selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster. In all her books and films, Dr Holstein presents positive psychology as entertainment and a means to happiness.

It is vitally important for teens to build self-esteem, as it has a significant impact on their mental health, social relationships, and overall well-being.  Positive self-esteem leads to better mental health, a positive self-image, resilience, and an improved overall outlook on life. Self-esteem and resilience are needed to help kids navigate life’s challenges. Nothing is more important.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has released a series of five books that help girls, age 8 and up, begin to develop both self-esteem and resilience. There are five books in the series. In each, the reader is offered an opportunity to develop her creative talents and potential as she processes and better understands the angst of growing up and how it can be successfully handled. The reader can bring her own talents to her thoughts and responses to the issues presented, which will further take her along a road of enhanced resilience and better self-esteem.

"The recent research about girls recently astounds most of us," Dr. Holstein stated. "Is it possible that a high percentage of our girls are depressed, and even suicidal? Parents, teachers, guidance counselors, pediatricians, psychologists, social workers, school principals, grandparents, TV interviewers, and more - suddenly we are all in shock. How could this happen? Yes, we’ve lived through a pandemic, yes schooling was a bit chaotic and more or less than adequate for parts of the pandemic, but could schools be the whole answer? Or maybe it’s the fault of the internet and social media? Or is it the fault of climate change and the anxiety kids feel wondering if the world as they know it will exist when they have kids? Or is it the rage and often mental illness that leads to school lock downs and children dying in the classroom? Or is it the way policemen handle the public? Of course, maybe absolutely yes, maybe absolutely no. What are we left with in the middle of the night when we are frightened for our kids and your kids and the earth and the future for all of us?

"Perhaps a combination of factors, perhaps all of the above in bits and pieces. Actually, I believe there is no one place to place the blame. As a psychologist for over 40 years in both schools and private practice, I believe that, rather than looking for whom to shame or blame, we must look at how we can save our generation of kids. I often focus on girls, as I believe they have been understudied over the years, and less research has been done to understand what girls and women need to thrive. Perhaps for innocent reasons, as women are extremely complex (as any woman or husband can probably verify).

"Also, women historically have been left out of government, engineering, becoming doctors, even religious leaders, etc. over hundreds of years. The research I have done over the years with girls and adult women has shown that girls and women thrive when they can live up to their potential, their dreams, their talents. That is why when I reviewed the recent research about our girls, I immediately came to the conclusion that as a positive psychologist what I can offer millions of girls and their parents is how to handle important subjects in a way that reduces pain and brings families together rather than apart. How could I do this fast?

"A slow way I have already been doing is podcasts where I’ve invited guests on my show, "The Enchanted Self Presents: Tweens, Teens, Young Adults," as well as teachers, climate experts, school principals, psychologists, parents, and grandparents. We’ve talked about shootings, lock downs, the climate, and more. Actually, these podcasts led to my Selfie Project, which is bringing a voice to kids, tweens, teens, and young adults. I made a documentary film about The Selfie Project where four teenage girls share what is really on their minds and what could help them.

"All of the above have been helpful and made a difference, but for this moment in time, I needed more, and I needed a fast way to bring information and some relief to girls and their families. Aha, how about workbooks? And now, there are five of them in print, ready to be used by girls, their parents, their grandparents, their teachers, and others.

"Each book is designed to cover subjects that pop up again and again in most families and for most girls growing up. The first book, "Angst," covers a lot of the rage and moods that go with puberty. The second book, 'Secrets', covers many adolescent issues, feelings, and thoughts. The third book, "I'm Smart," helps girls recognize their talents, strengths, and potential, while the fourth workbook, "Changes," tackles more aspects of issues on girls' minds as they start to date, are emotionally challenged, and continue to come of age in a complex society. The first four books offer pages where the girl can draw, keep notes, write a short play, become creative, or even make a selfie film. The last book is less of a workbook and more of a fun opportunity to bond with siblings, friends, parents, and grandparents while talking about subjects brought up.

"All of these five books include access to some of my selfie films that I have made to help all of us deal with coming of age, whether our own or someone we love who is 50 years younger than us or my three books for girls that, in diary form, include many upbeat ways to solve situations we face in life as we mature.

"I rushed these books to print as I believe we need solutions coming from many people from all different backgrounds and training. We are on a fast train that may not have safe brakes. I’m riding it, and so are you. This is what I’m offering our girls and parents today. What can you offer today, tomorrow, next week? Can we save our generation of girls? I say yes, but we all must pitch in."

Whether she is writing and directing award-winning selfie films, publishing bestselling books, creating podcasts or stage plays, the driving force behind everything she does is to help people, particularly young people and women, become more resilient and build a strong sense of self-worth.

The result is the creation of films which people of all ages, from children to teens, to parents and grandparents can enjoy and use to discuss issues which people of all ages can relate to and enjoy and more forward to discuss better ways and approaches to dealing with difficult coming of age issues and decisions.

Her approach has resulted in films that have placed or been awarded over 125 times.

Dr. Holstein hopes to bring parents, teachers, librarians, grandparents and media together to accomplish one goal: Change in the lives of young people who suffer from anxiety and a growing sense of hopelessness and despair.

Dr. Holstein wraps Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that young people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Three Bestselling, award-winning books (perfect for school libraries)

Award-winning films and selfie films

Podcasts

Dedicated websites

Stage plays

A library of articles

Ted-style talks

"I am also making my latest film 'Lock Down' available to parents and educators," Dr. Holstein stated. "We have no time to waste in dealing with the safety of our kids, physically and emotionally. I hope 'Lock Down' will help generate the type of compassionate concern and connection that moves us as a society to thoughtful and timely solutions."

In addition, Dr. Holstein was one of five people chosen this year for the Wall of Honor at Norwalk High, her alma mater in Norwalk Connecticut, by the Norwalk High School Alumni Association.

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.

Dr. Holstein's cutting-edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both YouTube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'.

Dr. Holstein recently created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people, including the pandemic. She is now accepting submissions from the public for the "Selfie Showcase" and is actively seeking change-makers and mental health professionals to appear on her video podcasts.

The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in several ways, some issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.

Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ.

Resilience And Self-Esteem Are The Essential Ingredients Needed For Happiness Says Best Selling Author, Award Winning Film Maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best-selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster. In all her books and films, Dr Holstein presents positive psychology as entertainment and a means to happiness.

We hear a lot about resilience and self-esteem these days. We all are born with some degree of these attributes. However as we face adversaries in life most of us need to enhance our capacities for resilience and self-esteem.

Helping us acquire and utilize more of these two extremely valuable traits is what Dr. Holstein's work is all about. Helping us have more self-esteem and resilience, resulting in more successful decision making and utilization of our unique talents and potential is her life mission and vision.

Whether she is writing and directing award-winning selfie films, publishing bestselling books, creating podcasts or stage plays, the driving force behind everything she does is to help people, particularly young people, become more resilient and build a strong sense of self-worth.

Dr. Holstein's selfie films, created to encourage resilience and build self-esteem, often focusing on coming of age issues, stand apart from other films in the genre for many reasons, but the primary reason is that she allows the young actress to make many decisions - from wardrobe to interpretation of parts of the script to filming many scenes with her smartphone. The result is the creation of films which people of all ages, from children to teens, to parents and grandparents can enjoy and use to discuss issues which people of all ages can relate to and enjoy and more forward to discuss better ways and approaches to dealing with difficult coming of age issues and decisions.

Her approach has resulted in films that have placed or been awarded over 100 times.

"Hundreds, if not thousands of people will be affected by a school shooting," Dr. Holstein stated. "Survivors, teachers, administration, the local communities. But it does not stop there. All school age children will be experiencing heightened levels of anxiety, some so severe it will be akin to soldiers waiting to engage in a battle. That level of anxiety is not normal. For some, just attending classes may be overwhelming. There is a national emergency for youth mental health. Between 2016 and 2020, the number of children ages 3 to 17 who were diagnosed with anxiety grew by 29% and those with depression by 27%. We must all take action to deal with this, and we must be prepared to do this long term."

Dr. Holstein hopes to bring parents, teachers, librarians, grandparents and media together to accomplish one goal: Change in the lives of young people who suffer from anxiety and a growing sense of hopelessness and despair.

In addition, Dr. Holstein was one of five people chosen this year for the Wall of Honor at Norwalk High, her alma mater in Norwalk Connecticut, by the Norwalk High School Alumni Association.

"Let us never forget how hard it has been for women to have access to ways to develop their full potential. I know this first hand as without two encouraging parents, both in education for their life work, I probably would have ended up in a little house with a white picket fence, perhaps doing some volunteer work. Instead, I am now receiving an award on the Norwalk High School Alumni Association Wall of Honor as a person who has done outstanding work in my field over a number of years. Wow, I'm honored and also still determined to help people around the world come into their own professionally and personally by understanding their 'Enchanted Self' and what it means to let that part of themselves develop. Perhaps you would like to know more about finding your Enchanted Self and how that can help you move forward in life? Please listen or read my speech I delivered at the Wall of Honor 26th Awards Program."

Anxiety Caused By School Shootings Is Not Limited To Victims, And We Must Take Action Now Says Best Selling Author, Award Winning Film Maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best-selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels. She was recently chosen as one of five people for the Norwalk High Wall of Honor.

According to NPR, this year 27 school shootings happened in the US as of this date (June 7,2022). The after effects of these shootings will last for decades for some, lifetimes for others. Political views and opinions about gun control aside, this leaves us with a huge number of young people who will have to deal with this for the rest of their lives.

"Hundreds, if not thousands of people will be affected by a school shooting," Dr. Holstein stated. "Survivors, teachers, administration, the local communities. But it does not stop there. All school age children will be experiencing heightened levels of anxiety, some so severe it will be akin to soldiers waiting to engage in a battle. That level of anxiety is not normal. For some, just attending classes may be overwhelming. There is a national emergency for youth mental health. Between 2016 and 2020, the number of children ages 3 to 17 who were diagnosed with anxiety grew by 29% and those with depression by 27%. We must all take action to deal with this, and we must be prepared to do this long term."

Dr. Holstein hopes to bring parents, teachers, librarians, grandparents and media together to accomplish one goal: Change in the lives of young people who suffer from anxiety and a growing sense of hopelessness and despair.

Dr. Holstein wraps Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that young people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Three Bestselling, award-winning books (perfect for school libraries)

The Selfie Project

Award-winning films and selfie films

Podcasts

Dedicated websites

Stage plays

A library of articles

Ted-style talks

"I am making my latest film 'Lock Down' available to parents and educators," Dr. Holstein stated. "We have no time to waste in dealing with the safety of our kids, physically and emotionally. I hope 'Lock Down' will help generate the type of compassionate concern and connection that moves us as a society to thoughtful and timely solutions."

In addition, Dr. Holstein was one of five people chosen this year for the Wall of Honor at Norwalk High, her alma mater in Norwalk Connecticut, by the Norwalk High School Alumni Association.

"Let us never forget how hard it has been for women to have access to ways to develop their full potential. I know this first hand as without two encouraging parents, both in education for their life work, I probably would have ended up in a little house with a white picket fence, perhaps doing some volunteer work. Instead, I am now receiving an award on the Norwalk High School Alumni Association Wall of Honor as a person who has done outstanding work in my field over a number of years. Wow, I'm honored and also still determined to help people around the world come into their own professionally and personally by understanding their 'Enchanted Self' and what it means to let that part of themselves develop. Perhaps you would like to know more about finding your Enchanted Self and how that can help you move forward in life? Please listen or read my speech I delivered at the Wall of Honor 26th Awards Program."

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.

Dr. Holstein's cutting-edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both YouTube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'.

Dr. Holstein recently created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people, including the pandemic. She is now accepting submissions from the public for the "Selfie Showcase" and is actively seeking change-makers and mental health professionals to appear on her video podcasts.

The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in several ways, some issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.

Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ. They will also appear in the Selfie Showcase on SelfieFilmmakers.com. They may be invited to be on Holstein's podcast or perhaps be a part of her next film. Full details, rules for submission and helpful hints can be accessed at the Selfie Filmmakers site at http://www.selfiefilmmakers.com/instructions.

Holstein's unique Selfie Films have taken many awards and have been shown in many film festivals and competitions. A full list, now over 100, can be found at Enchantedself.com.

Holstein's podcast series is actively seeking change-makers and visionaries to appear on her podcasts. Dr. Holstein hopes to feature members of traditional media, mental health professionals and educators who can make a real difference in the lives of young people. Many of the podcasts feature young people - to give them a voice regarding their concerns and their solutions. Guests, if accepted, can arrange to appear by contacting Dr. Holstein directly.

National Emergency For Youth Mental Health Requires Action Now From Parents, Grandparents, Educators And Others Says Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Bestselling Author Of '7 Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic'

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Zoom Drama Creator, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels

According to an article on the ABC News site titled, 'New study shows rise in kids diagnosed with mental health conditions: What parents should know', our young people are in the midst of a serious mental health crisis. As stated in the article, "Between 2016 and 2020, the number of children ages 3 to 17 who were diagnosed with anxiety grew by 29% and those with depression by 27%, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) study published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics, a medical journal.

"From 2019 to 2020, researchers found a 21% increase in children with behavior or conduct problems, according to the study."

And that's not all. "I'm deeply concerned as a parent and as a doctor that the obstacles this generation of young people face are unprecedented and uniquely hard to navigate and the impact that's having on their mental health is devastating," U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said in testimony before senators in February.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last year that emergency department visits for suicide attempts among teen girls were up more than 50% at the beginning of the pandemic compared to the same period in 2019."

Bestselling author and film maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a licensed psychologist in private practice in New Jersey and Massachusetts, with her husband Dr. Russell Holstein, also a psychologist. She specializes in positive psychology as well as other issues associated with girls and women. In her bestselling book, '7 Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic', she offers some valuable information regarding how we can take action now:

"On one hand, we could see the pandemic as a catastrophic tragedy, because of the loss of connection with nearly all the things that make up the common teenage experience. On the other hand, there is an opportunity to transform that dreadful experience into something constructive.

"Humor, as old as humankind, is an amazing adjunct to lifting one’s spirits, enduring painful times and realizing how many times humor can lessen the pain around a lost opportunity or a delay that you must endure. Encourage your children to practice humor, collect funny jokes that can be shared, and see the possible pot of gold that will emerge later when something special can happen.

"Sometimes we forget how much kids suffer during hard times. Just because they're young and strong physically, can stay up half the night and laugh hysterically, does not mean that they are immune to the suffering going on around them and around the world because of the coronavirus. In fact, kids are very susceptible to all sorts of emotional upheavals because they're not fully developed emotionally. That takes many, many years. They have reactions that include anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, frustration, disappointment, unhappiness, tears, gloomy feelings and thoughts, and even worse.

"Sadly, the news is now bringing up at least one suicide by a pre-teen youngster. So, it is extremely important for everybody to not only protect the mental health of adults but also of children, tweens, teens and young adults.

Some suggestions:

1. Be your own investigator. Is your child despondent and hanging in his or her room too much? Is he very sour or critical, or do you hear him crying or getting irritated? Is she not eating enough or binging? Listen and watch. Observe any changes that could reflect anxiety or depression or other problems.

2. You are your child’s guardian and protector. Don't be afraid to take charge. Sit down and share with him, perhaps some examples of worries or anxiety or sleeplessness that you may be experiencing. Encourage him to share with you what he is feeling and what is happening in his life. Reassure that we will get to solutions and good news.

3. If your daughter is disappointed because she's not going to a prom, perhaps you and she can still order some clothing online that absolutely delights her. Or maybe she can get all dressed up and the family can have a fancy dinner in her honor.

4.If your child is experiencing a lot of anxiety or other symptoms, it may be time to call his physician. Do not ignore serious symptoms.

5. If you see more serious things going on, make sure you talk to a professional who can direct you with advice and connections. Your child is precious!

6.Try to bring fun and harmony into your family life. This may mean watching funny shows together, laughing as cats and dogs run around in crazy ways on YouTube, or watching comedies. It can also mean feeling free to tell and share family stories that end with humor or a happy ending. Think about reaching out to grandparents to share Zoom meals together, invite cousins that may want to join once a week in a shared dinner, and all sorts of ideas that you pull out of your own hat of creativity. Your desire to make this a growth experience that has some pleasant, enjoyable moments and some serious moments of learning will help your kids adapt and be resilient forever.

Positive Climate Change Initiatives And Reforestation Of The Rainforests Are Primary Functions Of Save The Rainforest, Now Accepting Donations Of Any Size Through GoFundMe

 

All of us can now make a personal and powerful contribution to the effort to save the planet for ourselves, our children and future generations.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While many components factor into climate change, one of the primary drivers of harmful climate change is the ongoing destruction of our rainforests. The devastation of the rainforest can only result in catastrophic consequences for the planet. It is not a question of "Should we" save the rainforests or "Can we" save the rainforests. Instead, we must save the rainforests to ensure our own survival.

That is the core mandate of Save The Rainforest. We can all play a part in the noble efforts of Save The Rainforest by simply making a small donation to the organization at their GoFundMe page. It is a gift that can combat climate change and help save the planet today and for future generations.

Save The Rainforest, founded in 1988, partners with indigenous communities in the Amazon Basin to protect and restore the Amazon Rainforest. An important aspect of this is reforesting degraded areas which results in habitat restoration and carbon capture.

They support Latin American nonprofit environmental organizations to establish and maintain sustainable ecotourism programs that provide them with an income stream.

Save The Rainforest also educates, inspires and enables youth to protect the planet through purposeful travel and post-trip engagement.

Save The Rainforest, Inc. began as a biology class project in 1988 in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Bruce Calhoun was teaching his biology class about rainforests from his firsthand experiences. The students were surprised to learn about the destruction of the rainforest that Mr. Calhoun shared with them because it was not to be found in their textbooks. They came to realize that students, teachers, the general public, and even textbook publishers were not informed about what was actually happening to rainforests. They decided to do something about it.

For their class project, the students created an informational packet about tropical rainforests and mailed it to every high school science teacher in the United States. In the packet they asked those teachers if they wanted to join a new club called "Save The Rainforest" and receive additional information.

​To their amazement, they received over 10,000 positive replies and a movement was born.

Save The Rainforest became one of the first groups to:
• Educate about the importance of rainforests.
• Offer “Adopt-An-Acre” programs.
• Help create the International Children’s Rainforest Network.
• Take teachers and students on trips to see the rainforest first-hand.

The legacy of founder Bruce Calhoun, Butch Beedle, and the early teacher and student Founders is real. Over 10,000 students have participated in life-changing trips and over $500,000 has been donated to protect and rehabilitate rainforest land.

Their vision for the future is broad in scope. With partnerships and a dedicated and professional staff, they support indigenous youth in their quest to become the next generation of forest protectors. They have worked with the Yakum Foundation for years and are supporting their efforts to protect their rainforest in Ecuador and build cultural, medicinal and food sovereignty.

Once the pandemic subsides, they intend to send thousands of students from all over the world on Save The Rainforest trips (the majority are which are from disadvantaged backgrounds) and protect 20,000+ more acres of vital, climate stabilizing rainforest over the next five years.

Donations of any size are welcome at the organization's GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-the-amazon-rainforest-combat-climate-change?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer. More information is available at the Save The Rainforest website at https://www.savetherainforestnow.org.

The importance of saving the rainforests cannot be overstated, and we cannot wait any longer.

About Save The Rainforest:

Save The Rainforest is a pioneering nonprofit founded by Bruce Calhoun and other educators and students in 1988. Since inception, more than 10,000 students have participated in their high-quality and sustainable trips. They have donated more than $500,000 to rainforest conservation efforts.

Emmanuel Opiah’s New Book Details How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World

Author Emmanuel Opiah’s new release offers hope to the warring factions that issues could be resolved peacefully. His spiritual message is extremely important not only for African Americans, but also those who wish to bring peace, tolerance and equality to the world.

Author Emmanuel Opiah believes that Barack Obama is being led by God to bring new hope to the world. His new release, How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World offers hope to the warring factions that matters could be resolved peacefully.

"I wrote this book because a lot of stories were told during the electioneering campaign about President Barack Obama's religious belief. This book aims to set the records straight as it reveals what President Barack Obama stands for. The book highlights to the world, in particular those at war, that money spent on weapons is wasted because it has not been utilized to feed the hungry or improve infrastructure."

In this book, the author takes us through Barack Obama’s race to the White House. His message “Yes we can” was also taken to the whole world which aims to inspire and encourage a new generation, in particular African Americans, to believe in themselves and in each other. The author reveals how God demonstrated His power at different stages of the race while pointing out to us that, “He would take Barack Obama’s right hand and say to him ‘fear not I will help you.’” He enunciates how the Almighty God warned that America and the world should be still and know that He is God and that He created all men equal. Barack Obama’s religious standing, as portrayed by the author, shows his deep rooted adherence to Jesus’ teachings, “bless those who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you and be your brothers’ keeper.”

“This book will help the African Americans come to terms with the fact that God created all men equal and that what one person can achieve the other can achieve, perhaps even better if he puts in a little effort. This book will inspire and encourage the reader to believe that the power to do this lies within each person.”

The book is available at the author’s website at www.eopiah.com, at Amazon.com, AbeBooks.com, Alibris.com and at many other online bookstores. The author is available for interview and can be reached using the information below.

How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World
ISBN 978-1439230343

Emmanuel Opiah received his calling in 1989. He has written four books titled: The Sabbath, The Concept of God From The Time Of Abraham To Present Day, Jesus: The Word of God and The Christ and How Barack Obama's Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and Masters in Religious Studies. He is currently preparing two other titles for publication. He has also written short stories for his own magazine The Light of The World.

His first book, The Sabbath, was as a result of his inquisitive mind during his childhood days. He had re-written and up-dated this book and it is in the process of being re-published. Since his first book Emmanuel has penned nearly six books and many short stories. He resides in the United Kingdom.
