There are few books available to prepare parents who want to raise children who are able to receive money and use it responsibly. The old ways of transferring assets to children and grandchildren-which rely solely on legal and tax advice-are not working. A whole new way of looking at this challenge is necessary. For Love &amp; Money introduces a new paradigm, which the author calls the Integrated Wealth Transfer Process. This process is explained in detail in an easy to understand way that will enable families to learn how to discuss sensitive subjects openly and honestly, thereby reaching mutual consensus regarding the family mission and the management of family assets. Also included are two useful appendices: Succession Instruments and Recommended Additional Reading. Roy O. Williams is a recognized authority in the field of family coaching, and all of the information in this book was gathered during his work with families over the past thirty years.

Providential, terrifying, perfectly pitched, this extraordinary novel gives us the inelegant truths of how it can feel to be a middle-aged male writer, husband and father adrift in a world indifferent to everything he stands for. Telling his own story is Keith Stonesifer, a former college English teacher who is determinded after years of professional frustration to carve a new career as a mystery writer. To one side of him is his wife Jill, a failed actress longing to become a therapist. To the other is his eleven-year-old daughter Fran. When Stonsifer picks up a young woman at the tennis courts in Golden Gate Park, he is slowly but inescapably caught in a carnival of anger and rejection, a nightmare descent into brutally casual sex and murder that he finds both abhorrant and alarmingly nurturing. But while Stonesifer experiences a forbidden catharsis on one level, he is once more thwarted in his quest for recognition when his crimes are claimed by a serial killer and his efforts to reclaim them are mocked by the police, who believe he is only faking he has homocidal tendencies because he craves attention. San Franciso singles bars and book signings, Bay Area nude beaches, tailgate parties after the 49ers football games- and even the New York literary scene- all draw Keith Stonesifer as he searches for new meaning in his life and grapples with the limited consolations of present-day love and its illusions. In his most wide-ranging novel to date, David Nemec artfully combines in Stonesifer a dangerously seductive mix; the tortured initmacy of Cornell Woolrich and the spellbinding amorality of Patricia Highsmith.

This book will introduce you to a new psychology for the Age of Light. We are entering a spiritual evolution in which psychology, as we have known it, is changing into spiritual psychology to reflect our higher spiritual values. The new framework used in the Conquering Soul will show you how to align the personality with the soul to become a conquering soul. It is an approach that introduces to the personality the ageless, spiritual laws of an Infinate Intelligence, and demonstrates that once these laws are accepted by the personality, the personality can exercise its freedom of choice in a more responsible manner and perform the function for which it was designed- to freely serve the soul in the soul's eternal quest to return to the Godhead. Showcased are twenty-five mental games the personality frequently plays in its attempts to reign supreme over the soul.

Bodie, California is the most well-preserved ghost town in the West. It is also a State Historic Park located at an altitude of 8,369 feet (a mile-and-a-half up), five miles from the California-Nevada border. The town reached a population of 10,000 in its heyday, from 1877 through 1882, and gold and silver production topped 100 million dollars, based on today's prices. Bodie consists of 175 buildings kept in a state of arrested decay by the State, meaning they will never be restored, but are prevented from further deterioration through a system of constant repair. As is the case with many ghost towns of the West, questions, mysterious circumstances, puzzling episodes, previously unexplained events and enigmas surround Bodie. In their fascinating new book Big Bad Bodie, authors Watson and Brodie have endeavored to solve these puzzles and provide answers to questions, such as:Who is really buried in Bill Bodey's grave, and why? Why is the name of the town spelled BODIE, when the town's namesake spelled his name BODEY? Why will there never be gold mining in Bodie again? Who started the 1932 fire that burned down much of the town? Big Bad Bodie: High Sierra Ghost Town is the first new book about Bodie to come along in more than two decades and includes 60 photos, many from the lens of Watson's camera, plus numerous illustrations. Brodie and Watson have written a rich and fascinating history of a notorious California ghost town, sure to be of interest to any reader.
