Relationship Facts, Trends, and Choices (Enhanced Edition)
About 1,000 facts, trends, and choices about the confusing and sad state of relationships in the new era demonstrate the difficulty of satisfying this simple human need. They show the main sources of relationship conflicts and the consequential, growing personal frustration and depression. With our odd perceptions and values about relationships, we have indeed gotten ourselves trapped in an agonizing web of complex dilemmas.The result is the high rate of divorces, relationship conflicts, and rising social stress. Thus, our options about the possible role a companion can play in our lives must be understood and assessed carefully before getting ourselves ensnared in messy relationships and suffering. Ultimately, we must adopt a new mentality in order to relate in our relationships effectively or design an independent life for ourselves and learn to enjoy it, too, rather alone.

Living to Finish Well
Wherever there is a vision, there must be a visionary and implementer working together to bring it to life. Trouble is, this incredible partnership, vital to every organisation, can be fraught with many trials. If you are the visionary, you could mistakenly think the implementer that works with you doesn't listen, is there simply to follow your instructions, and takes pleasure in asking questions that are irritating and totally unnecessary. If you are the implementer, you could mistakenly think that the visionary doesn't listen, is wild and unrealistic about what is really needed to see the dream become reality, and takes pleasure in running roughshod over your carefully laid out plans. But is that the true picture? Author Marjie Sutton thinks not. So, in her book, Marjie goes on a quest to unveil the true picture and strengths on both sides of what has every potential to become an incredible partnership. Writing with incredible insight and clarity, Marjie shows how both can better understand each other's unique calling, gifting and perspective and work together more effectively. Without this understanding the business, organisation or church vision can become obstructed, distorted or never realised. Instead, in Vision Accomplished, chapter by chapter, visionaries and implementers will learn how to meld their strengths to get the job done and bring the vision to life with minimal bumps and casualties along the way.

Jake, Dad and the Worm
JAKE, DAD and THE WORM 978-0-9886784-5-3 by Martha Sears West (case laminate) $20.95 Also available in paperback 978-0-9886784-1-5 for $13.95. Annotation: A lowly earthworm teaches Jake that, even when you're small and ignored, you can still do big, heroic things-especially when encouraged by a sensitive father. Forty years ago the debut author, summoned by a commotion, rushed to the front porch. There, other family members cheered on an acrobatic worm dangling precariously over a step. The worm, to applause, righted itself and survived, as did this true tale that gave Jake fresh courage. 8.5 x 11. Full water-color illustrations. 40 pp. (Available now). "The story of the worm encourages children to seek out simple experiences with a sense of wonder," says West. She invites readers to appreciate the worm as a hero of nature which enriches soil and doesn't need superpowers or a cartoon face to win our admiration. (Naturalist Charles Darwin wrote of the worm: "...it may be doubted if there are any other animals which have played such an important part in the history of the world...") West has been called a "sister-in-rhymes" to Shel Silverstein, A.A. Milne, and Ogden Nash. (Karen McCarthy, ForeWord Clarion Reviews) In this, her first book, West enlivens the story with watercolor illustrations and rhythmic phrases that roll naturally off the tongue. Reviews: "This story demonstrates how each of us fits into the big picture of the universe in small and significant ways we can be proud of. The illustrations alone are meaningful, but coupled with the text, they make the experience one you won't want to miss." -Deborah K. Ilardi, editor, School Nurse News "Superbly rendered visual images...stunning...Young elementary school students will identify with Jake's situation, and the easy reading level and engaging illustrations make this an excellent offering for both shared and independent reading." -Carolyn Bailey, ForeWord Clarion Reviews "A delight to read-fun rhymes and playful use of language. The illustrations are AMAZING. The page with the worm in the superhero cape never fails to produce a hearty belly laugh from our 5 year old. And yes, a beautiful message too." -L.D., Amazon.com Biographical Note: The daughter of a professional writer, Martha Sears West grew up in Bethesda, Maryland where she enjoyed composing poems even as a child. She found it more fun to create rhymes than to play hopscotch. West taught languages briefly in a junior high school before rearing three children of her own with her supportive husband Steve. Her fascination with wordplay increased when in her fifties she earned a bachelor's degree in linguistics from the University of Maryland.

Grief Stories of Wounded Healers
We grieve the loss of people or things that are important to us. One of life's greatest challenges is dealing with the loss of a person or something very meaningful to us. After that comes the difficult process of adapting to the loss. I began my grief-journey when my wife died. I wrote about how I was barely getting through my grief. I asked others to share with me their grief-stories. I found some grief-stories that were not true, but they mirrored my experiences and feelings. So, I crafted stories that represent a combination of fact and fiction that I called "Storied Truth". Doctors and nurses are the healers at the hospital, and we want healthy healers to heal us. But for those who are grieving, the best healers are those who have been wounded by grief but are on the grief-journey to recovery. They are "Wounded Healers".
