THE DHANCE is a journey into acceptance and realization that God is everywhere, even in my precious wife's cancer. Speaking with many caregivers and from my own experience has led me to understand there are some incredible gifts in our pain. One gift is a level of love beyond what we ever experienced before. "I let everything be as it is" has become a mantra for me. I have learned I cannot get caught up in grief because I will become totally ineffective and can't be there for Carol. This is my search for meaning and for God. "This book is a story of life at its best in the worst of experiences...A love story filled with life skills." - Rev. Beth Ann Suggs, PCC; Unity Minister

I come from a large family. My Mother's biggest fear was that one or all of us would die on her watch when we were babies and then children. As we grew up, her fear shifted a little - not just that we would die, but that we would be found Dead In A Ditch. It was the ditch part that always made it seem so much worse, something drug or alcohol related, to be sure. Mother's children crumpled up and tossed out the window like an old beer can. "Where have you been?" she would say, "I was worried sick. I thought you were dead in a ditch." This was Mother's mantra. Humorous, beautifully written, observant, and heartbreakingly honest ... you will be entertained "Jody Seay handed me this book and said, 'I hope you laugh so hard you bust your spleen.' I'm happy to say that my spleen survived intact - but my pancreas is still in a splint. Jody Seay is ONE FUNNY WRITER." - Jerry Juhl, 3-time Emmy Award winner, former head writer for The Muppets and Jim Henson Productions, screenwriter for The Muppet Movie and Muppets Treasure Island, head writer for The Muppet Show "Dead In A Ditch is the hilarious memoir of a tomboy Texan, a little...hellion who takes every dare. Jody Seay is also a worry-wart. How many ways in Texas can you die if you're not careful? If the snakes don't getcha the atom bomb will, and in the meantime, watch out for lockjaw! A smart, funny tough survivor of a goofy family and her own weird antics, Seay (pronounced See) is one helluva writer and a great observer of the absurdities and poignancy of family life in Texas." - Robin Cody, Award Winning Author of Another Way the River Has, Ricochet River and Voyage of a Summer Sun

This is the true story of Second Lieutenant Leonard J Kovar and his battle to survive as a prisoner of war during World War II. During its eleventh mission, his plane was shot down and he parachuted out into a sky filled with fire, bullets and sceaming German fighter planes. After landing behind enemy lines, Lt. Kovar struggled to avoid capture by enemy soldiers and civilians angry about the damage done by American bombs. This is a candid telling of his eventual capture and his incredible battle to survive life as a prisoner of war at the end of World War II: the mental and physical stamina he developed to face the various camps and death marches. He provides unique insight into interactions between POWs and German soldiers - an honest account of what it took to survive. It's a fresh look at a war that has faded into history but has not faded from people's minds.

How to Make Your Safety the Key to Construction Profits and Schedule Performance. Although there are bright spots, the prevailing safety condition within the construction industry is bleak because people continue to be injured or killed in the workplace. The attitudes and hidden mindsets that create this condition are: (1). Safety is seen to slow down and even interfere with production; (2). People believe that everything reasonable that can be done is already being done; (3). We are dodging bullets and that can only work for so long; and (4). People behave strangely; don't think ahead; don't always do the right thing. The fact of the matter is you can get to zero-harm if you approach the goal scientifically, systematically, using problem-solving skills, and persisting until you get what you want. This book offers new tools and introduces the behaviors and mindsets you need to solve the most challenging safety related issues within your organization. See what other have to say: " 'Safety Under Construction' is your must-read for this year. They have delivered a practical approach to make safety the focal point of your business [and] They have clearly diffused the myth that safety is in theway of profits and performance" - Dana W. Clarke Sr., CEO of AIA, LLC; Certified TRIZ Specialist; Certified Organizational Engineer ALSO SEE: "I have managed many construction crews and sometimes you face a critical moment where the quality of your field-call affects lives and a successful project outcome. So much is riding on what decision you make in that moment! 'Safety Under Construction' addresses this important but almost never discussed topic of split-second decision-making. Crew supervisors and managers will appreciate this valuable information. 'Safety Under Construction' raises the bar to an entirely new level of expectation for worker safety." - Ophir Orr, Construction Industry Mechanical Engineer, P.E.

Carol Ruth Know was one of the front-runners in New Age spiritual thinking. The chapters in this book are a series of talks that she gave sequentially at Unity of Walnut Creek from January to March 1986. Reverend Carol Ruth Knox built Unity of Walnut Creek from a 20-person-Sunday-morning congregation into a center of three Sunday services with 450 people attending. Her secret: she saw God in flowers and trees, in dogs and birds, in the desert and the ocean, and in the affluent and the indigent. God included every-thing both the animate and inanimate. And everything in God's Creation created an opportunity for spiritual growth. Each Sunday she shared how she had encountered God in the past week and the lessons she had learned. Reverend Knox challenged her audience with quantum physics, philosophy, Eastern Religions, and whatever subject that caught her interest. She possessed the unique gift of being able to explain the most complex ideas so that people could understand; and, she expected her congregation to be sophisticated and to accept responsibility to understand. She never 'talked down' to those attending her church. As a result, each Sunday attendees would leave with tools to help them in their daily lives. Tragically in 1987, Carol Ruth Knox was murdered by an intruder in her home. But her powerful and truly relevant messages still resonate today and can help one achieve a life of meaning, of service and of spiritual mastery by embracing The Path of God.

The Second Coming of Curly Red

This second, revised edition of the award-winning novel, "The Second Coming of Curly Red" is candid, compelling, compassionate and could have been torn out of today's newspaper headings.\nOne minute Texan Jimmy Heron is sitting next to his beloved wife of 50 years eating pie, the next minute she is dead in his arms; killed by a racist, woman-hating, semiautomatic gun-toting maniac. Shattered by Lou's senseless death, Jimmy Heron hits the road - can't stay put; can hardly breathe. He roams the western landscape looking for solace until he lands in the tiny pioneer town of Reliance, Oregon. Here he settles, figuring it is as good a place as any to wait until he dies.\nHis new neighbors, however, delicately jump into his life. A lesbian couple eagerly awaiting the birth of their first 
child, a Native American ranch hand, a big-hearted dog, and a small band of generous people together gently encourage 
Jimmy to deal with loss and death and kindness, perseverance and love. Jimmy Heron starts to heal.\nThat's when his new friends become the targets of a vicious campaign. Fueled by lies and bigotry couched as "family 
values", the hatred begins to poison the soul of their little community. Each character caught in the conflagration must decide what they believe and why they believe it. In this explosive environment a community is forged and a town remembers how it got its name.\n"The Second Coming of Curly Red" will grab you by the heart and not let go.

"THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY describes the spiritual 'unfoldment' of the Reverend Carol Ruth Knox, one of Unity's most dynamic ministers. She inspired a generation of congregants and young ministers, including me, to search deep within themselves for that Divine connection which has the answers to our most profound questions. I recommend Carol Ruth's THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY to anyone seeking guidance and support for their own spiritual exploration." - Reverend Beth Ann Suggs, PCC; Unity Minister This is not the beginning of your Incredible Journey. You have been on this path for a long time and have turned to this book as yet another step in a life-long process that has been pushing, working and expanding you. Do you desire to be more fully aware of this process? Or maybe a life crisis has led you here. Life continually grows us. We are never finished. The force, the energy responsible for our growth, continues to expand us into progressively deeper levels of consciousness. And so, this book is for those of you who hunger to be involved in your own spiritual process and want to take responsibility for your own inner lives. It is also for those who feel desperate or confused. It is for all who wish to contact the spiritual force that drives you, the force that will not let you find contentment in the external trappings of life. This book is Reverend Carol Ruth Knox's autobiographical account of her personal unfoldment and her map to aid other spiritual seekers on their path. It is a challenging, exciting, re-vitalizing process, truly an Incredible Journey. "This book offers depth and perspective for those who are choosing to look below the surface for insights that resonate with their soul..." - Gail Derin, Licensed Unity Teacher
