Book Description
God's ultimate plan for His people is one of transformation. All of us are born in God's image, but His ultimate desire is for us to be transformed into His likeness. For this metamorphosis to occur, we must stop competing with God to be the master of our lives. Just as a butterfly changes from a larval caterpillar, all human beings are to be transformed into their mature form, a person possessing the nature and character of Jesus. Butterfly people see the world from God's perspective and experience more joy and peace in life. Caterpillars are left behind to see the world from man's perspective and suffer from immature, pathological thinking, dysfunctional relationships, and self-serving religions and governments. God designed our world for Christ-centered butterflies that can live in the light of His wisdom and truth, not caterpillars that stumble through life and remain lost in the darkness of their self-centered world. In Only God Can Make A Butterfly, David Delnostro, M.D. walks you through the psychological, interpersonal, political and medical advantages of soaring through life as a butterfly and the pathological consequences of crawling through life as a caterpillar. David J. Delnostro, M.D. is a graduate of Ohio State University College of Medicine. He began his medical career in 1980 in Savannah, Georgia as an emergency room physician at Candler Hospital. For the past twenty-six years, he has practiced family medicine and currently is a member of Southcoast Medical Group in Savannah. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the oldest of six children. Although he was raised by a Catholic father and a Jewish mother, he never practiced either religion. At age forty, he began his life-changing relationship with Jesus. Currently, he serves as a deacon and Divorce Recovery leader at Savannah Christian Church.

Book Description
Did you ever expect to have so little time with your family? Do you feel like you meet your family coming and going, as everybody races off to jobs, schools, sports, dance classes, music lessons and church activities; catching only glimpses of each other's day? Are you there? If so, this devotional book is for you...to bring your family together at the dinner table. In these pages, you will find meal plans, recipes and devotionals presented in a unique way that will allow you to use the meal itself as a visual illustration of eternal truths from God's Word - relating the food at the table to food for one's soul. Start feeding souls as well as bodies at your dinner table, as your evening meal becomes a cherished time for reconnecting with each other...and with the Lord. Beth Lyle is a wife, mother, and grandmother who loves God. She is a former student of Trinity Seminary and a passionate believer in the power of God's Word. She is a Teaching Director for Community Bible Study, a featured retreat speaker and sings in a ladies' trio, One Heart. As a home-school mom, she realized the importance of teaching children at a young age to love God, and to make Him the most important part of life. "Children must know that to miss God is to miss everything." Her desire is to see families talk about God in a relaxed setting, making Him as real as the air they breathe - "just as we do not see air, but it is there...so is God." Beth resides in Greenwood, S.C. with her husband, Andy, and their daughter, Anna.

Book Description
The Butterfly Effect: Flutters of Wisdom and Kindness accentuates the compelling need for random acts of kindness. Each reader of this book can remember someone from his or her past who has made an indelible influence on his or her life. A random act of kindness can resonate with goodness for each person who participates in favor. Unfortunately, other types of acts can have an opposite effect. This work contains hundreds of “flutters” of wisdom and kindness from an eclectic composition of sources from Aristotle to Emile Zola, from Plato to Rudyard Kipling, from Booker T. Washington to Leo Tolstoy, Karl Marx to Janis Joplin. This work attempts to synthesize different thought and observations from people, past and present, from different cultures of east and west that will indicate that we all share an impetus to a common goal . . . if we help each other. Though this may be deemed a work of scholarship, it is presented in non-scholarship terms. Though the subject matters (philosophy, sex, religion, and politics) are matters of gravitas, the answers can be quite simple, if we permit them to be. This is not a “how to” book. Each person has the sovereign right to determine his or her destiny. Nevertheless, interesting and controversial points are covered so that each person may make a more informed choice about how to determine well-being. If the reader pledges to help another, thousands of others will be pledging to help the reader. A Zen Buddhist koan asks, “How does the drop of water know it is part of a wave?” A drop always has a ripple. A flutter of kindness or wisdom can shake the world.
