Are you praying, or are you merely crying out in pain? For a prayer to actually be a prayer, we have to turn our emotions away from what is hurting us to what will help us. The new prayer technique in The Power of Creative Prayer does just that -- and in less than 2 minutes. Just think! In 2 minutes, you could be praying for what you need and want from God, hastening its arrival and developing a better relationship with God in the process.

Naked Calories: Discover How Micronutrients Can Maximize Weight Lose, Prevent Dosease and Enhance Your Life

Naked Calories reveals the naked truth about what you are eating and how your lifestyle habits may unknowingly be sabotaging your health. The secret lies in micronutrients, vitamins and minerals that are being stripped from your diet and depleted by your lifestyle. On the Caltons' six-year global research expedition they discovered that modern practices such as global food distribution, factory farming, and food processing are creating foods filled with Naked Calories--calories void of any real nutritional value. The dynamic authors break it down to a simple three-step plan and teach you how to source better foods, eliminate unhealthy habits, and make choosing the best supplement as easy as ABC. Naked Calories, this decade's Fast Food Nation, will help millions of people gain a new depth of understanding about how to maintain health in the 21st century. The Caltons are among the world's leading experts on the topics of weight management, lifestyle medicine and micronutrient deficiency. In 2005, they set sail on a 100-country, 7-continent, 6- year global expedition, exploring the dietary and lifestyle habits of people around the world. Their research has led them to conclude that micronutrient deficiency is the most widespread and dangerous health condition of the 21st century. As a couple they bring amazing energy, personal experience, passion and knowledge to an important subject people are just beginning to buzz about--the overwhelming health benefits of a micronutrient sufficient lifestyle.

Ms. Glauber's mother never seemed to struggle to find the answers to the many questions she relentlessly asks herself: How can I make the most out of my life? How can I be less critical of myself and others? How can I find the core of contentment? For her mother, those answers appeared to be right in front of her, and now that she is gone, she yearns to understand those answers too. That is why she decided to write about her mother's approach to life. Maybe by describing it, she could keep her mother's spirit alive around her and share that spirit with her children, Lili and David, and with her nieces, her brother's children, Diane and Haley. And perhaps in the process of writing, she would have a new insight into her mother's distinctive guide to happiness and share that message with others.

Fran Claro rolls out the welcome mat and invites us into the lives of four lively Italian grandmas in post-World War II Brooklyn. You can almost smell the aroma of roasting garlic and hear the laughter of the nonnas punctuating their daily conversations about the truly important things in life-family, faith, and the best way to prepare roast pork. Opinionated, witty and ever mindful of what's cooking for dinner, Maddelana, Giuseppina, Aniella, and Concetta concern themselves with making sure all things in the neighborhood are as they should be. From hatching matchmaking schemes and advising young mommies to providing the proper desserts for funerals and enforcing the no talking rule in church (for others, not themselves), the nonnas generously share their wisdom and experience with those who asked and those who don't. Fran Claro serves up a savory slice of Americana, complete with mouth-watering recipes straight from the nonnas themselves. The Macaroni's in the Basement is a treat for the soul and the tastebuds.

When there is a will to experience each moment of life more fully with vibrancy and vitality, there is a way. It's Running with Nature. It's about reconnecting to nature one broad-minded step at a time to discover a more fulfilling life of simplicity, adventure, stillness, and laughter. In Running with Nature, Mariel Hemingway and Bobby Williams share their dynamic and authentic approach to living mindfully and healthfully, offering concrete action steps that readers can take and even track through a multifaceted point-earning system. Simple activities like watching a sunrise instead of sleeping in, drinking water out of glass instead of plastic, taking time to be in silence instead of always listening to things out there, eating clean food instead of processed and packaged food, and taking time away from technology to get outside are some of the natural ways to tune into ourselves and make far-reaching differences in our lives, our relationships, and our world. As Mariel and Bobby explain, change can be approached radically or gently or anywhere in between. Readers can choose to take all ten suggested action steps in each area of their life or just a few. Through thought-provoking discussions and suggestions for lifestyle modifications, the authors gently urge and coach readers to take action, at their preferred pace, that will bring about lasting change--inside and out. The Willing Way is a book of inspiration. It provides the way to make a difference in the reader's approach to life. Having the willingness to do so is the only requirement.

It's a dog eat dog world out there, especially when it comes to the competitive business arena. I personally coined the professional title Chief Pet Officer, or CPO. In the animal world, competition is fierce and I quickly realized that wherever I looked, another so-called Alpha Dog, also at the top of their trade, was barking their way to the top and attempting to claim even more fresh business territory.
