Within and Beyond: The Connection Revisited by Gayle RedfernWithin & Beyond, The Connection takes complex concepts that have been around for many years, explaining how the earth and the universe are connected, pulling the magnetic energy up from the Earth and the electrical energy down from the Universe. This merger flows into each cell forming a star tetrahedron providing the wisdom of life for each of us. This channeled information defines the dimension as –Planes of Reference and Cosmic Life Pattern(CLP) as the internal genetic coding for each individual. As well as the channeled information presented here, Within & Beyond brings us historic quotes such as the one from Bob Frissell book “Nothing in this book is true But it’s exactly how things are.’’ My analysis is “Everything in this book is true, and its exactly how things have always been”. During her many years as a Health Consultant, Psychic and writer, Gayle Redfern helped individuals create balance in their lives. It was not long before she got the information of the individual’s acceptance of universal wisdom available to each of us. She soon became aware of the urgency and importance of accepting and applying the ancient data that is on our bookshelf. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Arts in Holistic Health all tailored toward learning how to use personal skills and how to help recognize the personal triggers as keys to healthy living. After discovering how easily Ayurveda brings balance and unity into one’s life, Redfern went beyond her private consultations to develop and teach workshops and seminars. These were designed to help people understand the basics of this “Science of Life.” The next step is writing and promoting psychic and spiritual books. Currently she has published four books Inner Bridges - Opening your Connection to Inner Peace & Harmony, Ayurveda Demystified-For Optimum Living, Within & Beyond - The Connection, Ancient Wisdoms- Exploring the Mysteries and Connections. Gayle Redfern’s interest in spirituality has been life-continuous with a focused drive over the past 15 years. As a conscious channel, she combines this gift with the learning from her degrees in Psychology and Holistic Health, helping others discover solutions to achieve personal balance and reasons to share with others. Previously she worked in the communication industry as an educator, workshop leader and motivational speaker.

Living Art as Life, and Life as Art: Mid-century Artist Milton Cavagnaro and Five Generations Passing the Torch of Creativity By: David Cavagnaro About the Book In the late 1930s, with World War II looming, the famous German Bauhaus art school closed, and many of its teachers migrated to America, greatly influencing the course of modern art and architecture in the 1940s and 1950s. Influenced by the work of Bauhaus painters such as Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky, a young artist named Milton Cavagnaro began what would become a lifetime art career in San Francisco that spanned abstract painting, commercial design, college teaching, jewelry making, gardening and landscaping. During this journey, many famous mid-century artists, beginning their own careers, would grace his family's life as friends or visitors, including photographers Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Ernest Braun; Margaret Bourke White and Yohana Meith, the first women photographers for Life; and close associates of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Milton's history, as told here by son David Cavagnaro, became in the writing the much larger story of five generations in the family, all passing along the torch of creativity via a plethora of media. Lavishly illustrated, this journey demonstrates that the definition and expression of art can permeate all of life, if we also live life itself as art. About the Author DAVID CAVAGNARO is the author of six previous books and a widely published writer and photographer in the fields of natural history and horticulture. Having spent most of his life in Northern California, his former home and land in Northeast Iowa have become The Pepperfield Project, a nonprofit devoted to sustainable food gardening, seed-saving, and personal growth, body, mind, and spirit.

A High and Noble Mission: The Adventist Outreach to African-Americans During the Civil War Era and Beyond by Robert W. PriceThey were turbulent years, the ones following America's Civil War. The emancipation of those held in slavery opened new ministry opportunities for Northern churches. Previously blocked from reaching any held as slaves, they now were free to preach the Good News to the poor, helping "bind up the nation's wounds." They did their best to follow the Lord's example--setting prisoners free, releasing the oppressed, and especially as Adventists, proclaiming the year of the Lord's favor. Individuals discovered within this new mission field, the Freedmen, willingly came to hear the Word of the Lord proclaimed. Among their many physical and spiritual needs, one request arose high above all others. The Freedmen wanted to read. That privilege had been vigorously denied in the past, but now, with freedom a reality--they wanted schools. Many had the noblest of reasons. Having heard preaching and teaching from the Bible all their lives, they now wanted to read those words on their own. Others wanted an education to help secure the new liberties coming their way. Northern churches sent more preachers than teachers, yet schools were established. While teaching the new converts to read the Bible, missionaries were pressed to go beyond that introductory level. However, churches on the home front seldom saw the need for expensive schools and only reluctantly supported anything beyond the preaching ministry. Meanwhile, the surrounding White community was strongly opposed to any schooling at all. Teachers were threatened, housing denied, and some schools burned to the ground. Missionaries stood in the middle, seeking to please both the sending churches and the Black Freedmen, while maintaining peace within an oftentimes hostile community. They were overworked, financially under-supported, and all suffered from "burnout"; a few even paid the ultimate sacrifice. Yet many individual lives were wondrously transformed as they participated in this most high and noble Christian mission. Author’s Bio: Robert W. Price, with a lifelong involvement in urban ministries and education, did his doctoral studies at the University of Illinois. He helped found and later pastored a large inner-city church in Chicago, which continues to maintain a strong educational ministry. On the denominational level, he served on and chaired both its Board of Christian Education and the National/Urban Ministries Task Force where he promoted the growth of urban churches and endorsed effective Christian education material and programs. https://www.amazon.com/High-Noble-Mission-Adventist-African-Americans/dp/1638448590/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2E3Y8RF6BPFDW&keywords=A+High+and+Noble+Mission&qid=1698282790&s=books&sprefix=a+high+and+noble+mission%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C277&sr=1-1 http://www.KingPagesPress.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/113023kpp1.mp3

Suicide Affair: Book One Dark Skies by Tony StanfordThere is a way that seems right unto a person, but the way thereof is the way of death. It is the 1960’s. Above the rich Native American city of NuSprings, Missouri, the sky is turning dark with a deadly storm brewing on the horizon. Dark, intriguing, and sometimes chilling, Dark Skies pulls you down a path you would never wish to go.

Living a life of isolation, her only friends are that of a toy doll, a homemade scarecrow in the garden, and a mischievous one, who is invisible.

ANY QUESTIONS? by Dr. Donald P. Forss Any Questions offers the reader a fresh look into the two-millennium old message of Redemption through Jesus Christ. It takes the reader beyond mere religious conformity and morality to the essence of the gospel’s message, the resurrection of Persons from death to life by the power of God. Overcoming the Death begins as a spiritual work while we are still on earth. It is evidenced by the illumination of the mind and the transformation of the heart towards both God and Man. From these we are able to know what we could not have known, be what we could not have been, and do what we could not have done, left to our own religious invention. Knowing God in this life is true participation in the divine nature. The better we understand this the more likely we will grow up spiritual unto maturity. Any Questions starting with an essay about the Creation with Redemption in the mind of God, is a dialogue aimed at providing spiritual direction and inspiration to the reader who seeks to intimately know God. Some 280 scripture passages with over1,000 verses are referenced. Any Questions bridges the mind and heart into a unified expression of true faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ. AUTHOR BIO Don Forss was born in the Bronx, New York City on October 6,1954. When two years old he was placed into foster care by the welfare department. In 1976 while attending what was then Northeast Missouri State, now Truman State University, he had a profound encounter with God. His mind and his heart were changed as the love of God was poured into him with life transforming power. He continued his education and has served as a teacher and minister for the past forty years. Although he was seminary trained, he considers himself “blue collar” as he reaches out to anyone who will listen. His thoughts are deep but not scholarly. He is known by a friend who said of him, “He has a beautiful mind.” He is convinced that though we know in part, and that part is the Truth. https://pageturner.us/bookstore/any-questions https://authordonaldforss.com/#author http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/111623pt2.mp3

THE SHAWS MULTIPLIED by Doris Howe We are all descendants of Adam and Eve. God told Abraham that he and his wife's descendants would outnumber the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. At last count, Douglas and Amanda Shaw have 133 living descendants. Sixty-six books of the Bible chronicle stories and instructions from the lives and descendants of Adam, Eve, Sarah, and Abraham. The Shaws Multiplied briefly tells stories of the lives, adventures, and experiences of some of the descendants of Douglas and Amanda Shaw-some deceased and other still living. From the stories depicting character traits, personalities, education, and occupations, I pray you will recognize traits that show who you are because of who they were. Be proud, stand taller, and continue to work on developing those positive attributes in you. Get acquainted with these folks and enjoy the memories. Doris Howe is a missionary with Youth with A Mission. Her mission field is in Tyler, Texas at Loving Alternative Adoption Agency. She has been an adoption caseworker for over 24 years. Her main task is to minister to young women who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. She is to love them, educate them, and pray with them. God’s ultimate call for Doris is to introduce these young women to Jesus Christ who is there to help change their lives. An adoption may or may not be part of that relationship. Doris has two books published. One is called Adoption Joys they expected a miracle. The other is a family book called The Shaws Multiplied. For 25 years I was a missionary with YWAM working in the Adoption leg of Living Alternatives. I often wrote newsletters to the couples with whom I had worked through adoption. Eventually I realized I had several stories about adoptions. Maybe there was the beginning of a book. Sure enough–the Adoption Joys They Expected A Miracle came about. Then about 3 years ago when I was praying I felt God said, “I’m sick and tired of the fatherlessness that is taking over this culture.” Of course, I agreed. I knew the second “adoption” book would become a reality.. It did. https://barnesandnoble.com/w/the-shaws-multiplied-doris-howe/1117048910?ean=9798988898023 https://authordorishowe.com/ https://www.olympusstoryhouse.com/
