Weaving Prayer into the Tapestry of Life
Most books are like visitors. They come and go. This book can be a long-term companion and assistant as you weave prayer into the tapestry of your life. Weaving Prayer Into the Tapestry of Life pictures each of us as a weaver at a loom, creating in every moment our life's tapestry. The transformative thread of prayer is always available to be woven into our life's design. In this weaving, we experience in wonder the creative presence of God. The chapters of this book gives an overview of Christian understanding and practice of prayer. The author combines Scripture, voices and sources from the tradition of the church, poetry, stories, and accounts of personal experience to explore ten of the most familiar ways Christians pray. These are: centering, praise, confession, meditative reading of Scripture, petition, intercession, dedication, silence, and benediction. Nine sets of Prayer Prompts, one with each chapter, invite you to move from thinking to doing. They provide a framework for personal devotion that includes all of the dimensions of Christian prayer discussed in the chapters. Resources from Scripture, prayers of the church, and contemporary materials offer structure and stimulus for expressing the prayers of your heart. These Prayer Prompts are adaptable for repeated use. Members of a prayer group or spiritual growth group may enjoy sharing experiences with this book. "Martha Rowlett deeply understands Christian thinking, Christian living, Christian prayer, and, dare I say it, God. She shares her wisdom with utmost simplicity. Those who use her book will find themselves becoming better Christians" -John Cobb, professor emeritus, Claremont School of Theology

As adults, they went their separate ways for a time, but fate brought them back together.

Reflections on Mountaineering: A Journey Through Life as Experienced in the Mountains (FIFTH EDITION, Revised and Expanded)
Presented as one hundred thirty-eight narrative-style poems, some of which are rhyming and others are in prose or blank verse, Reflections on Mountaineering, A Journey Through Life as Experienced in the Mountains, a FIFTH EDITION, Revised and Expanded summarizes much of what the author, Alan V. Goldman, learned in his more than 30 years of climbing, either from personal experience, or from his mountaineering peers. Mr. Goldman came to realize that many of the same moral issues that confront us in everyday life are likewise present in the high mountains, only to a sharper degree. Still, many of the poems reflect on themes and situations that are peculiarly prominent in the mountain environment.

"God Laid His Hand on Me"
After you read my book, you can see I am an ordinary man. For some reason, God wanted me to live. You can read all the things that happened and didn't happen. They can't be explained away by science, medicine, physics, the law of averages, or luck. There clearly is only one way to explain it: God laid his hand on me and protected me and healed me, and finally I got the message that I should tell the world to open your eyes. He didn't die two thousand years ago, and that's it. The media never dwell on the positive things every day. Just start looking for yourself. He is still here.

This book is based on true stories that the author experienced. He recounted his suffering and pain to reveal the true nature of the human mind. In regard to his experiences, the author took into consideration the psychological statement that man’s mind is divided into a conscious and unconscious part. Every good thing is of the conscious part which just occupies a small percentage of the mind whereas the unconscious part dominates a person’s daily activities. As you read the stories, you will begin to understand why the author chose the title “The man on the right side”. His best friend became his worst enemy.

Most of the time, he is led by his unconscious mind. When he sees the negative outcome of his actions, he regrets it. The man, Suah Kollie, you are going to meet in the stories, is of no exception.
Frog One The War with God
This is a story of love and evil. This is how evil will always try to control good. How a boy has to be a man and how cruel people can be in today's time.

The war he had was directed at God. He had nothing to live for. If he could see this God, then he could have his revenge for making his life so strange. But he would live through many trials and tribulations and learn that God had another plan for him. It would be a mission impossible. To live by faith and not by sight.

The Baby and the Seed: A Primer on Good Parenting a Book for the Entire Family
This is a book for everyone. In using the metaphor comparing the raising of the seed of wheat with that of a baby, the importance of a nurturing environment is presented. Using a poem for structure, accompanied by colorful illustrations that convey the message in each stanza, we can better understand the significance of a good start in life. Knowing that 90% of the brain develops in the months of pregnancy and the first two years of life and that most chronic medical, behavioral, and addiction disorders occur in adults who had dysfunction in this critical period, makes it imperative that every effort be made to educate us all on the importance of good, responsive parenting. It is the attempt of this book to contribute to this greater understanding. Illustrations demonstrating the effects of toxic stress on the brain and sections relating specifically to love, adversity, and resilience have been added because of the impact they have on why we become who we are.

Hyperreligiosity to Grace
Thomas ventures through a perplexing web of hyperreligious thoughts that ultimately lead him to a mental institution three times. In this true story, Thomas takes you on his personal journey of how his thoughts led him astray and put him in many peculiar situations. After having lost a great career, and now living out of his truck and with charitable people on occasion, he continues to deteriorate, wandering the streets, and sleeping on benches and grass or below bridges.
God was not through with him and was always there, trying to reach Thomas with his still, small voice. He wanted to tell Thomas how much he loved him and the implications and finality of the work of the cross by his Son Jesus. In this book, Thomas shows how a wrong understanding of our loving Father and exalting works over faith and grace was a recipe for disaster in his life. Ultimately, Thomas came back to reality by the grace of God and lives a happy life today back in his career and on his feet again.

Every life has an ending untold, and the author and finisher of faith, Jesus, wants to give you the abundant life he came to die to impart to us.

The Truth About Ruth
The story of Ruth has been limited and constrained by biblical presentations and interpretations. For too many Christians, Ruth is only known for her "where you go I go" position and her capture of wealthy Boaz. She has been shaped by Christendom to be the epitome of purity that all females should emulate if they desire an honorable and wealthy man as Boaz. However, on closer examination, the steps of Ruth may not be suited for New Testament women. Was the purity of Ruth the key factor in her capture of Boaz? Or was it only a ploy by many in Christendom to ensure the purity of text. The Truth about Ruth fully examines each chapter and key verses to give needed insight lost to readers and hearers by the exclusion of critical contextual information. Eleven little-known or unexplored truths about Ruth are presented to ensure that the reader can factually determine whether Ruth's course of action is one that should be recommended for Christian females. Are the strategies used by Ruth to get her man suitable instruction to girl scouts, teens, and females in general? If not, why not? Is it possible that the ways of Ruth were simply the ways of women in general, with no connection to the attributes that promote purity and holiness? Could it be that the story of Ruth is more appropriate for instruction in how not to get a man rather than the prevailing opposite? Bringing no preconceived ideas to the text, readers will be able to release antiquated dating ideas and embrace the readily applicable truths about Ruth that are appropriate for Christian dating and release those that are antithetical to promoting meaningful relationships that are bound in Christian love and respect for each other.

Souls from Mercury: Chakra Magic Empowering Relationships
Charles Darwin pointed out that the future evolution of mankind cannot happen through the continuation of the "survival of fittest" ideology.

This goal can be achieved by delving deeper into ourselves through the simple process of meditation and mindfulness. In this book you will learn the pathway to your inner vastness (i.e., Samadhi, Enlightenment or the "Mercury space") and gain answers to becoming "Souls From Mercury."

Faith, Supernatural Beliefs and Our Symbolic Brain
We have been endowed with a symbolic brain that helps us adapt to and survive in our natural and man-made worlds. However it is open to both true and false beliefs both of which have impacts on our well-being. Supernatural beliefs may lead to disastrous consequences but continue to exist because they actually serve human survival through their reliance on faith and reduction of stress. So our symbolic brain's readiness for supernatural beliefs is a mixed blessing-but a blessing nevertheless.

Man and woman are the persuading animals.
There is no overriding issue more important in most people's daily life, life's pleasures and all of political matters than persuasion.
Many, if not most, matters are largely wholly related to persuasion, defined in this work on the Agenda-Spin theory, as the struggle of people to determine for their chosen audiences: 1. What we talk about and 2. What it means.
Persuasion is not the only determinant in life, and there are some matters mostly outside of persuasive control, such as congenital illness, physical attacks, weather, death, etc. Even these, however, will have elements of choice and certainly vary in spin and/or interpretation.
This work, unlike virtually every other work on this topic, examines persuasion as within the power of the persuader, not as the result of inexorable demands of reality, except in the cases listed above.

Visitation Day
Imagine a visit from a friend of yours that has already died but received approval to return to earth from Heaven for one more day.
Mollie envisioned that situation in the middle of the night when an angel appeared before her as a bright light and explained an amazing scenario in which her deceased fiancé returns from Heaven on Christmas Day in order to complete her marriage and accept the consequences. Mollie then awoke from her dream, doubtful of what just happened. Even though she could still see the bright light and the image of the angel, she was sure it was all just a dream. So, she turned on the light next to her bed and only the bright image remained as if she was staring at the sun.
As her eyes adjusted, she looked at the table next to her bed and saw the picture of her fiancé in a frame in the usual place. However, this time there was an object that was never there before. It was a gold band. So, she picked it up to examine and inside the band she noticed her three initials and the words Love, Mollie. It was the band she placed on the ring finger of her deceased fiancé before he was buried. Could it be true? Would he return on Christmas?
Four others would return from Heaven on that very same Christmas. Based upon the miracles performed on that day, the earth will never be the same. Heaven is real.
