A First Person Account Of Apartheid In South Africa Offered By Award Winning Author Kass Ghayouri In 'An Era Of Error'

Kass Ghayouri's writing evokes change through empowerment. Through dramatic imagery she creates visual slides, which connect readers to memorable plots

While many books have been written about apartheid in South Africa, seldom do readers have the opportunity to read a book written by someone who lived in South Africa and experienced firsthand the horrors of apartheid as a child. Kass Ghayouri's award winning book, 'An Era Of Error' gives readers a glimpse from the inner side of those historical events. The book has been compared to 'Cry, The Beloved Country' by Alan Paton.

'An Era of Error' is an historic fiction novel, based on the Apartheid era in South Africa, centered on Ghayouri's childhood experiences. Ghayouri deftly paints a stunning panoramic portrait of the obstacle her characters faced, living in South Africa during the Apartheid era. The reader will experience the brutality of apartheid, as seen through the eyes of a child.

Ghayouri was the first place winner in the '2015 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards’. In addition, Readers Favorite awarded the book 5 stars. The book has received rave reviews from reviewers and readers alike. A review by Reader's Favorite called the historical fiction novel " . . . a tale that will undoubtedly remind readers of 'Cry, The Beloved Country' by Alan Paton and 'A Dry White Season' by Andre Brink; . . ."

"I tantalize my reader with an impeccable narrative trend, which is heart wrenching. Writing is my unique strategy to evoke change, by empowering my readers with wisdom and inner strength” Kass Ghayouri.

Kass Ghayouri is a prolific writer and has written a number of other books:

'The Fugitive’s Baby' - a captivating story that takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of love, romance, fear, and articulate characters, with a nostalgic plot

'Punch Buggy - Auto-Biography' - an inspirational story of a Beetle car. It inspires people of all age groups to play the game, “Punch Buggy”. Children love this little bug. Nevertheless, when an antagonist comes along, trouble lurks...

'Governess Poetry & Illustration' - a book that is not just the experiences of daily life but also the experience of Kass' vivid imagination and intellectual curiosity

'Universe Poetry & Illustration' - more poetry that generates imagery and visual symbolism that illustrates the liberty of self-expression

'I Tried But I Died' - a novel that delves deep down into the core of human nature, exposing the evil and darkest side of the human mind

Immigration And The Desire For Freedom - 'Quest For Freedom' By David Michael Palladino Gives Us A New Perspective On Immigration

David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal

The subject of immigration is one of the hottest news stories taking place in America today. Immigration is a bitterly contested issue, a divisive talking point, a topic for building political platforms and a fiery issue that divides people across every social and economic line imaginable.

So why do so many people hope to immigrate to America? Some people immigrate to escape the ravages of war or persecution or to better themselves and their families. Some hope to have the opportunity for better education, better jobs or to escape from poverty. Healthcare. The environment. Politics. Lifestyle.

While the reasons are many and varied, at the very core of the drive to immigrate is the desire for freedom. Freedom might imply "freedom from" - war, poverty or persecution. Or, freedom imply "freedom to" - grow, thrive, or to live in a specific way. Freedom - whether "from" or "to" - seems to be hardwired into human DNA.

It might be hard for some Americans to relate to this drive for freedom or perhaps to even understand it, as we have always had freedom. America is a primary destination for immigration as America sits at the very top of the list of countries known for personal freedom. America was built on the concept of personal freedom. In the current landscape however, many Americans recognize the need to be vigilant against potential immigrants who do not hold American values in esteem. But perhaps, in our need to be cautious about immigration, we have lost sight of what it is that makes America truly great. It is, in a word, freedom.

David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young people. He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. Palladino's book, 'Quest For Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.

During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest For Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.

'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

David Palladino is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at inspirationalbookauthor@yahoo.com. 'Adriana Corderu, Quest for Freedom' is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Rosedog Books. More information, including samples of the book, is available at Palladino’s website at http://www.inspirationalbookauthor.com.

What The Afterlife Is Like - The Proof Is In The Direct Experience States Brian McLaughlin, Author Of 'A Flight Without Wings'

McLaughlin's book about his NDE details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no preaching and no hidden agenda. McLaughlin will make several appearances in the Long Island, NY area in the coming months

Is there life after death? Does some component of the human mind survive death? Everybody has an opinion, but who has any proof?

A debate on Youtube offered by Intelligence Squared entitled 'Death Is Not Final' featured four speakers with four different perspectives. Eben Alexander, a popular author and NDE experiencer and Dr. Raymond Moody, author of a number of seminal books on NDE including 'Life After Life', argued for the motion. The debate also featured physicist Sean Carroll and neurologist Steven Novella, who argued against the motion.

The position taken by Carroll and Novella was that NDE's are not scientifically provable and that the effects produced by the near death experience could be the result of many other factors. That is a position held by many people and on the surface may appear to be sensible. Dr. Moody however argued that these types of experiences perhaps cannot be proven scientifically, as the NDE experience lies beyond the realm of science and the question is not a question for science. He offered the possibility that the final word on the afterlife may not be delivered via science, but could perhaps come rather through critical thinking and logic.

Should we believe the afterlife does not exist because it cannot be proven via the scientific method? Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings', believes Dr. Raymond Moody has finally given us the answer.

McLaughlin stated: “After watching the above mentioned debate, I was left with these personal conclusions:

The two skeptics Carroll and Novella spent most of their time trying to reason why an NDE shouldn’t  be possible, while still asking for proof of such an event. It was apparent that little existed outside our 5 sense- 3 dimension world for them. Eben Alexander seemed frustrated that Carroll and Novella weren’t impressed with his use of medical terms like neo-cortex, etc.

Dr. Ray Moody sat back and let them spew and when it was his turn, he calmly voiced the results of decades of research with people who have had an NDE. His mind appeared to be open to possibilities that the skeptics refuse to acknowledge.  Moody alluded to the impractical use of today’s science or quantum physics to prove or even disprove consciousness after death, indicating that perhaps the proof lies beyond typical metaphysical theories. I would like to offer Dr. Moody this theory:

For many, the proof of an afterlife is an NDE… a real  NDE, as described in his book ‘Life after Life’.  I have had occasion to witness a realm beyond what we are familiar with now. Somewhat scary, somewhat confusing, but real enough to have had a profound impact on my life over the last 20 years. For people like Ray Moody or even Deepak Chopra with progressive thinking , or Amit Goswami’s approach to consciousness and the brain causation, I could be considered one of the sources of unadulterated data on the subject."

Brian McLaughlin's book about his near death experience stands apart from the rest. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certain, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.

McLaughlin's experience changed the course of his life forever.  It instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that a peace of  mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. His near death experience brought a sense of clarity. It brought a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever. It is that simple message he brings to his audience, both through his book and at his speaking engagements.

Brian McLaughlin will be making several live appearances in the Long Island, NY area during July and August, 2016:

Sat. July 9 - Turn of the Cork Screw - Rockville Center, NY - Radio Interview, Book Signing     
Sat. August 27 - Rockville Center, NY - Street Fair   

Brian McLaughlin was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...”  "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."

Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”

Brian McLaughlin is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at bamplaya@msn.com. 'A Flight Without Wings' is available at Amazon, Payhip and other book retailers. More information is available on his website at: http://www.BrianMcLaughlinBooks.com.

Omar Mateen's Rampage Creates An Opposite Effect Says Frances Fuller, Author Of Book About Lebanon, 'In Borrowed Houses'

Fuller spent many years in the Middle East. She puts a face on the Middle East many Americans have not yet seen. Her award-winning memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses', gives readers a penetrating glimpse of the Middle East from the inside

Omar Mateen’s act of terrorism created a number of unexpected effects, some of them precisely the opposite of what he probably intended and has provided the country with an opportunity for growth on several fronts. As the complicated story unfolds, focusing on discrimination, Islamic radicalism, gun control, immigration, and politics, author Frances Fuller, who spent 30 years in the Middle East, notes that Mateen hurt us, as he meant to do, but would be surprised by some of the results.

"Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, whoever he was down deep, whatever his motivation, regardless of his legal right to own an assault weapon, has done more than he could have expected to do when he planned to slaughter a roomful of unsuspecting people," Fuller stated. "He played into the hands of an unfriendly and reckless politician, made life harder for Muslim Americans, provoked an outpouring of love and support for the gay community that he attacked, revealed the violence in extremist Islam and exposed a similar strain in a legalistic group of Christians."

Fuller says that the tragedy provides a crucial moment to consider our own acceptance of a violence as a means of achieving our will. She points out that Jesus, who is the center of the Christian faith, refused to perpetuate the violent history that he inherited.

“If we are violent, it is because we have accepted, instead of resisting, the evil culture of our world. This culture is the way of perpetual conflict, but every tragedy is an opportunity to see our mistake and learn.”

Frances Fuller puts a face on the Middle East many Americans have not yet seen. Her award-winning memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses', gives readers a penetrating glimpse of the Middle East from the inside.

Told in short episodes, Fuller’s book reveals the alienation, confusion and courage of civilians in the Lebanese civil war, introducing to the reader a variety of real people with whom the author interacts: editors, salesmen, neighbors, refugees, soldiers, missionaries, lawyers, shepherds, artists, students. With these people she works, studies, plays games, prays, laughs and cries, all to the accompaniment of gunfire. Together these small stories tell what war is like for civilians caught on a battlefield, and they create the impression of the Lebanese as a fun-loving, witty, patient and resilient people. Fuller's stories compose not a political history, but a historical document of a time and a place.

Critics have praised ‘In Borrowed Houses.’ A judge in the 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards called 'In Borrowed Houses' “ . . a well written book full of compassion . . . a captivating story . . . ”. Another reviewer described the book as “Wise, honest, sensitive, funny, heart-wrenching . . .”. Colin Chapman, lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut said, “ . . . western Christians and Middle Eastern Christians need to read this story…full of remarkable perceptiveness and genuine hope.”

Frances Fuller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at frances0516@att.net. The full text of her latest article is available at her website. Fuller's book is available at Amazon and other book retailers. A free ebook sample from 'In Borrowed Houses' is available at http://www.payhip.com/francesfuller. Frances Fuller also blogs on other issues relating to the Middle East on her website at http://www.inborrowedhouseslebanon.com.

About Frances Fuller:

Frances Fuller spent thirty years in the violent Middle East and for twenty-four of those years was the director of a Christian publishing program with offices in Lebanon. While leading the development of spiritual books in the Arabic language, she survived long years of civil war and invasions.

Miracles Past And Present - Author Donna Louis Gives Readers A New Perspective On Miracles

Donna Louis provides an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. She attempts to expand and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles

A recent story on CBS News told the tale of Stan Larkin, who lived for 555 days without a heart, waiting for a transplant. He was near death when the doctors implanted an artificial device that kept him alive 555 days before he received his transplant.  This story captured the hearts and minds of Americans and was detailed not only on CBS News' but also Fox news, Forbes - in fact nearly every news organization.

In another miraculous story, a 37 year old Portuguese woman, declared brain dead after suffering a hemorrhage, gave birth to a healthy child.  The baby was delivered via Caesarean section after 32 weeks in his mother's womb.  Doctors kept the mother on life support to allow the baby time to develop more fully. The story ran on Fox, Pravda, Medical Daily and many other. Mirror.co.uk referred to the child as a "miracle baby".

The dictionary defines a miracle as an extraordinary event in the physical world.  When we think of miracles, those of us in Western countries often think of walking on water and raising people from the dead.  But perhaps a miracle does not have to involve a supernatural being or power who directly causes these things to happen through supernatural means.  Perhaps that Power works in physical reality through the minds and the hands of mankind. This begs the question: Are these modern day stories miracles?  Certainly they are, if we believe God works through man in the world.

Donna Louis' new book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful example of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced three miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

"God is the Author and Finisher of our fate," Louis stated. "God can create life through a dead organ the same way he can continue life through an artificial device. God is the be all and end all that is why he is named Jehovah Jireh which means the Lord our Provider."

Donna Louis was chosen as a winner in the 2015 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest. 'Miracles' has also received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

Donna Louis is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at donnalouisgodsmessenger@aol.com. 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Xulon Press.

Permanent Peace Of Mind Through The Moran Method: James Anthony Moran Announces 2016 Tour Of US

James Anthony Moran has acquired knowledge that has the potential to change life in amazing ways and to lead others to a state of permanent peace of mind via the Moran Method

Author and speaker James Anthony Moran's goal is to provide knowledge that leads people to a state of permanent peace of mind. To this end he has developed a unique and powerful approach entitled The Moran Method.

The Moran Method is based on the concept of four worlds or states. These are:

* The Spiritual World
* The Soul World
* The Physical World
* The Virtual World

When out of balance, people experience mind states that lead directly to negative perceptions and experiences. Peace of mind is the natural result of achieving better balance across these states.

"Today we live in primarily the physical world and the virtual world," Moran stated. "Beyond both the virtual and the physical worlds lies the natural world which is interconnected and in relationship with the invisible spiritual world. As individuals and as a species we need that soul connection with the natural world which will also connect us with the invisible spiritual world. At a deep and fundamental level, we are souls here on planet earth having the human experience."
     
"Before the material or virtual worlds came into being, our ancestors who lived at that time knew the natural world as well as the spiritual world because those were the only worlds in existence at that time. At a deep and fundamental level, we are powerful, spiritual beings but we need to awaken to this fact. ‘Awakening’ is all about developing an ‘awareness’ of who we really are."

"Right now humanity is at a crossroads because if we see ourselves as just physical beings we are in a spiritless world and we can see the damage this has done to humanity; other life forms as well as the living earth. If we enter the domain of the virtual world we are entering a soulless world. Already we see in this world that some people are losing that vital living connection with others, but most of all, have no idea about the benefits of reconnecting with the living earth. Is this to be the destiny for the human species – spiritless, soulless beings trapped in a matrix of their own making? Or, are we going to take the responsibility to look at ourselves genuinely and honestly?"

Moran offers a host of resources that can help put one on the path to permanent peace of mind. The James Anthony Moran Channel is now on Pivotshare and at his website. There are two series of videos available, with more added monthly. The free videos include "James Anthony Presents His Personal Story & Research to Local Irish Community" - This is the recording of his most recent event where he presented his personal story and an overview of his research to date. The event was live streamed at the time and now is available on this channel.

The other free video available is entitled "A Historic Message From A Remarkable Irish Man" - This video details the 9 aspects of the mind and how when activated, the individual begins to experience another world beyond the physical. This video is unique, original and universal and is based on a lifetime of research and discovery. It is a breakthrough video in the field of consciousness.

Moran was also recently interviewed by Limerick 95FM Radio, and was featured in a Limerick Post article (http://www.limerickpost.ie/2016/03/18/anthony-path-self-fulfilment/).

James currently offers a number of services for those who hope to create permanent peace of mind:

Skype one-to-one consultations

A subscription video library 

The opportunity to work with James over a 3 or 10-day period from the months of May through to September 2016. 

One-to-one packages, arranged on location in Ireland over a 3-day period.

Group packages up to a maximum of five people at a time, arranged on location in Ireland over a 10-day period. Activities will be focused on the development of a permanent peace of mind. This will be an opportunity to experience a unique perspective as well as experience the deep spiritual heritage that Ireland has to offer.

In the words of Dr. Cathal O’Connell, Director of Applied Social Studies at University College Cork, Ireland, "James Anthony is a devout believer in sharing his knowledge with others. Truly, it is the story of one who is on a remarkable journey."

He now firmly believes that his purpose lies in passing on the knowledge he possesses to those individuals who are finding the challenges of life difficult. Down through the years he has worked with people from all walks of life and he strongly believes that the answers people seek are within themselves.

Moran will tour the US later in 2016. His book, 'Irish Spirit Rising: The Journey', will be available late in 2016.

James Anthony Moran is available for media interviews, speaking engagements and consultations. He can be reached using the information below or by email at james@jamesanthonymoran.com. More information, including client booking information, a media kit and video samples, is available at his website at http://www.jamesanthonymoran.com.

About James Anthony Moran:

Graduating from University College Cork Ireland with a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree in 1997, James Anthony began to look at the whole idea of how change affects people. What he has now drawn from his soul searching escapades is a body of knowledge garnered from a variety of life experiences, as well as a study of various disciplines in relation to the effects of consciousness on the ongoing evolutionary development of the human species, as well as all other life forms which includes the living earth. In June 2014, his research was validated as original, unique and universal by University College Cork.

Two Bilingual Children's Books By Quebec Children's Book Author Dr Nicole Receive Story Monsters Approval Seal

Dr. Nicole is a best-selling author, based in Quebec, who writes children’s books that educate, inspire and teach valuable life lessons

Multi-award winning Canadian children’s book author Dr. Nicole has announced that two of her bilingual picture children's books, 'Strike At Charles' Farm/Grève à la ferme de Charles' and 'Are You Eating My Lunch?/Manges-tu mon lunch?' have received the Story Monster Approved seals.

In the traditions of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, Dr. Nicole breathes life into inanimate objects and wildly entertaining characters that engage children in powerful ways. Through parent/child interaction, her works develop a love for reading while helping children develop the most important skill of all - critical thinking. If a child can master the art of critical thinking, nearly everything else falls into place. Sadly, critical thinking is not always taught to young children.

"I am truly grateful and honored for the Story Monster Approved seals," Dr. Nicole stated. "Being judged by children for my books makes me proud. Last year, my chapter book, 'Parents for Sale', received this honor. It motivated me to produce my two bilingual picture books. My true intentions regarding being an author are to inspire children to read, to set their imaginations free and to encourage good decision making regarding health, safety and moral responsibility. Writing children’s books is a way for me giving back and being a positive resource to the community. It is a way that I can positively express myself while having some fun and at the same time - being a positive role model for both children and parents. These are few small steps to make the world a better place. I hope that my books inspire children to set their minds free and work to make the world a better place."

As stated on the StoryMonsters.com website, "Kids know when they see the Story Monsters Approved! patch it means children their own age enjoyed the book and are recommending they read it, too. How do they know that? Because after books pass the first round of judging by industry experts, the books are then judged by a panel of youth judges who must also endorse the books before they can receive the official seal of approval."

New Short Film, 'The Truth', By Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Focuses On How Teens Communicate Their Deepest Needs, Fears And Relationship Issues

'The Truth was an Official Selection at the 2016 Garden State Film Festival. Dr. Holstein's award-winning books, plays and short films offer solutions to problems that impact today's teens and tweens and helps them develop positive self esteem

A recent article on The Washington Post website entitled, "13, Right Now, this is what it's like to grow up in the age of likes, lols and longing", gave us a penetrating glimpse into the issues teens and tweens feel are important in the age of social media. It is likely one of the best articles ever written on the subject.

The use of social media by teenagers has been making headlines worldwide, with feature stories appearing everywhere, from NPR to Good Morning America. While a majority of these stories focus on the problems and potentially dangerous interactions created by the social media culture,, few focus on solutions to these problems. Positive Psychologist and author Barbara Becker Holstein instead focuses on solutions. Her books, plays and short films have won numerous awards. 'The Truth, a Short Film', Official Choice of the Garden State Film Festival, 2016, premiered at the Garden State Film Festival on Sunday, April 3, 2016. 'On the Edge of Something New' the pop song composed for 'The Truth, a Short Film' by Jayne Critelli, won the award as the Best Pop Song, 2016.

Dr. Holstein's stage play, 'The Locket', was presented at The Grange Playhouse on March 11-20, 2016 and received rave reviews. Both the new short film and the stage play center on Dr. Holstein's primary messages for teens, tweens and women of all ages.

Dr. Holstein's entire body of work is great for parents, grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens and teens in their lives. Her books have received numerous awards. A recent review of Dr. Holstein's book, 'Secrets', stated, "This book should ideally be stocked in the home libraries of families with children and in school libraries worldwide."

A trailer from her new short film, 'The Truth', an Official Choice of the Garden State Film Festival, is available at www.thetruthforgirls.com.  The trailer captures the world of technology and its public nature with the intense needs of a young girl to share her most private and most intimate thoughts, feelings, ideas and secrets. We see a girl in the throes of growing up keeping a diary on paper and also on her cell in video. In the diary she shares all her feelings and secrets. Who is the 'You' that she is also sharing her diary with? In today's world of likes, lols and longing to be seen, noticed, validated, talked about, often by 'friends' only known virtually, where are her deepest thoughts and longings going? Both the trailer, even in 47 seconds and the film 'The Truth, A Short Film' of 16 minutes are great to use to get kids and parents talking about today's social media world that we all live in.

A sequel to 'The Truth', 'Secrets'  is currently in production.  In the sequel, based on Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen, a girl continues to keep both a virtual diary on her cell phone and a paper diary.  She is a year older and although she has matured, her longings and her hunger to find a home for her feelings and intense emotions are even stronger.  How will she handle all?  Stay tuned.

Dr. Holstein is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her books are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.TheTruthForGirls.com.

Mediumship Is A Doorway To Christ: Pat Chalfant, Author Of 'Spirit Lights' Cites Silver Birch From 'A Voice In The Wilderness'

Oregon Spiritualist Medium Pat Chalfant's amazing psychic gifts have helped hundreds of individuals worldwide. She is the author of 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship'

Pat Chalfant says Spiritualist mediumship is literally a doorway to Christ, as Jesus actually directs the work of Spiritualists here on earth.  This is according to Silver Birch, the famed spirit guide who lectured at  the Hannen Swaffer weekly séances in London for many years.  This claim comes from 'A Voice in the Wilderness,' one of a series of Silver Birch books describing the trance mediumship of  Maurice Barbanell. 

Barbanell, formerly a skeptic, who set out to expose the Spiritualist “fakery” promoted by meetings like the Hannen Swaffer group, found his world turned upside-down when he awoke one day apologizing for napping in a psychic meeting he was attending with the purpose of exposing its fakery.  Instead, he was told by people gathered around him that  he himself had just spoken in trance as "Thy Indian Servant", Silver Birch, before the very mediumship gathering he had meant to expose.

Maurice Barbanell founded the 'Psychic News', the famed British Spiritualist publication through which the words of Silver Birch were carried to the world for decades.  He concealed his identity as the medium through whom Silver Birch spoke in the pages of the Psychic News believing people would reject the message if they found the editor was actually the medium who gave voice to Silver Birch.

Pat's inspirational book, 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship', explains how Pat, a real skeptic regarding such matters, developed mediumship abilities and now lives a life transformed by the spiritual. Mediumship is a controversial issue and Pat understands this, but she also believes that credible mediumship holds the promise of real benefits for mankind that have not been fully explored.

In addition to offering one-on-one client consultations, Pat has penned the 'Spirit Lights Song Book' and three of those songs are in the National Spiritualist Association of Churches hymn book. There are samples of the words and music on her web site, http://www.patchalfant.com, and ‘Spirit Lights’ song books for sale there, too. She does readings for clients by phone and teaches mediumship development classes. She has also created a DVD entitled 'Spirit Lights Development DVD'.

Pat Chalfant's Youtube channel is now available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9qOQWIWR-DUL8hBDqE5TnQ.

Pat Chalfant is currently appearing on The Authors Show. Her interview is available now at The Authors Show site. 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship' is available at her website and at Amazon. Pat is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pat.chalfant@patchalfant.com. She is also available for inspirational lectures. More information can be found at her website at http://www.patchalfant.com.

About Pat Chalfant:

Oregon Spiritualist Medium Pat Chalfant's amazing psychic gifts have helped hundreds of individuals worldwide. Pat has written a column on parapsychology and interviewed Hollywood stars and the psychics who read for them for a national newspaper. Other topics she’s taught and written about are: past life therapy, death and dying, the Edgar Cayce work, the Cathars, and Spiritual healing.

The Association for Past Life Research and Therapies newsletter published a series of her interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, and hypnotherapists who were all west coast pioneers of past life therapy. Pat believes that series is destined to become a book.

She teaches internationally online and intermittently hosts an online Spiritualist circle, Spirit Lights Chapel.

Meeting With Deceased Father Shows Readers What The Afterlife Is Like In 'A Flight Without Wings' By Author Brian McLaughlin

McLaughlin's book about his NDE details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no preaching and no hidden agenda. McLaughlin will make several appearances in the Long Island, NY area in the coming months

In an interview published on the Epoch Times website entitled "Dr. Bruce Grayson On Researching Near-Death Experiences at the University of Virginia", Dr. Grayson was quoted as saying, “As a psychiatrist, what’s much more interesting to me is not the ‘knock your socks off’ part of the experience, but the after-effects, the way it changes people’s lives. Psychiatrists and psychologists spend a lot of hard work trying to get people to make fairly small changes, and here in the flash of a second, people are totally transformed — this is a powerful experience!”

Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings' gives us an intimate look at his NDE experience and the powerful effect that meeting his deceased father had on his life after his return.  

Many books about the subject of NDE's glorify the experience or sensationalize the details. The end result can border on aggrandizement or at the very least sound like hype and fabrication. On the other hand the books by scientists take just the opposite approach - filled with charts, graphs and overt attempts to explain the experience as simple byproducts of chemicals released by the dying human brain. The end result is that readers can end up with more questions than answers. When all is said and done however, what both researchers and readers seek is one thing - real answers.

Brian McLaughlin's book about his near death experience stands apart from the rest. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certain, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.

McLaughlin states “As indicated by the above quotes and references, books about NDE s are being scrutinized more closely than ever due at least in part to the entertaining final product being printed. Robert Gottlieb stated in a lengthy article in The New York Review of Books ‘To Heaven and Back’ dated 10/23/2014, that he noticed the influence of additional  writers. He stated ‘... and don’t underestimate that with ‘ in the listing of the authors. He goes on to say for example ‘I was struck by both it’s grandiosity and it’s obvious elements of wish fulfillment’, suggesting that some of these stories have been engineered to be entertaining rather than informative."

"Nearing the end of the article he indicates that ‘The recent spate of NDE books offers something more concrete: contemporary first person reportage’.  Best if the Author is the one who had the experience and writes about it. The lack of embellishment in an NDE account by no means suggests something less profound. As simple as an event may appear through the words of a book, I can tell you with certainty that the experience of a real NDE becomes a defining moment in your life, with many benefits like heightened senses to explore and use in your life going forward.”

McLaughlin's experience changed the course of his life forever.  It instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that a peace of  mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. His near death experience brought a sense of clarity. It brought a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever. It is that simple message he brings to his audience, both through his book and at his speaking engagements.

Brian McLaughlin will be making several live appearances in the Long Island, NY area during June, July and August, 2016:

Sat. June 11 - Turn of the Cork Screw - Rockville Center, NY - Radio Interview, Book Signing
Sat. July 9 - Turn of the Cork Screw - Rockville Center, NY - Radio Interview, Book Signing     
Sat. August 27 - Rockville Center, NY - Street Fair   

Brian McLaughlin was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...”  "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."

Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”

Brian McLaughlin is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at bamplaya@msn.com. 'A Flight Without Wings' is available at Amazon, Payhip and other book retailers. More information is available on his website at: http://www.BrianMcLaughlinBooks.com.
