Book Description
In North America, 64% of adults and 25% of children are overweight or obese. We are bombarded by food; it is everywhere we turn. People with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are an untapped expertise in combatting this problem. People with this genetic disorder gain approximately 20-30% more weight on 50% less calories, and are driven to eat. The traditional approach to this syndrome was to lock up all food, and control, restrict, and supervise all activity. While people with PWS were kept alive, they had no quality of life. Today, there are leaders within the PWS community who are taking cutting-edge approaches to combating both health and quality of life issues. Their secrets are revealed within this book. It is a must-read for anyone seeking: a new approach to societal health and wellness; an answer to weight maintenance for themselves or someone they love, and/or; a means of supporting persons with disabling conditions such as PWS and beyond to achieve meaningful, healthy lives. “In 1999 the World Bank asked 60,000 people living on less than a dollar a day to identify the biggest hurdle to their advancement. It wasn't food, shelter or health care. It was access to a voice.” www.videovolunteers.org In 2007 Albertans with Prader-Willi syndrome and their families were interviewed and they made the same plea. Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic condition with a complex presentation of characteristics including a body chemistry that is a poor compliment to a pronounced food desire. However, the people interviewed did not ask for a new diet, or rehabilitation strategies. They asked that people listen. By empowering persons with Prader-Willi syndrome and their families to tell their stories, A Recipe For Success gives a voice to those who have been unheard, and inspires the people who fi ght for them. This book is a must read for anyone seeking; a cutting-edge approach to societal health and wellness; an answer to weight maintenance for themselves or someone they love, and/or; a means of supporting persons with disabling conditions such as Prader-Willi syndrome and beyond to achieve meaningful, healthy lives. This book explores health and wellness, with an emphasis on food drive, as well as disability culture, through the voices of self-advocates with PWS and families. It should be read by: • Parents of all children (disabled and not) who want to instill positive, healthy food practices. • Adults who have attempted diets and still not lost the weight. Adults who are seeking an alternate approach. • Doctors and other medical professionals who seek continuing education. • Teachers who are negotiating the balance between organic and teachable conditions. • Self-advocates with disabling conditions who want to explore their own personal voice through the voices of others experiencing stigma and oppression. • Family members of persons with disabling conditions who want to affirm their experiences and interpretations and learn how to navigate the systems. • Government administrators who want to inform their funding allocation. • Extended family, friends, and the public-at-large who want to understand disability and reexamine their attitudes. • Human service workers who want to know how best to support persons with disabling conditions and how to listen to families. • Anyone who wants to know about Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Book Description
Through this book, the author would like to share how powerful prayers are, how God answers prayers, told from the authors own experience, and how God can pull us out from emptiness, darkness, and sadness to complete joy. For a prayer to be effective, we just have to be simply true to God when we pray. Speak your heart out. Cry if you think you feel like crying. Or even burst out into a cry. Just say a heartfelt, soulful, sincere prayer. Also together in this book are Gods stories of His amazing power, unconditional love, forgiveness, mercy, saving grace, healing, awesome miracles, and provision that helped me strengthen my trust, hope, faith, and love to our heavenly Father. James 5:16: The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Book Description
After the Rain, is the sequel to Through the Storms and Through the Rain. It is a collection of poems that continues to describe how I felt when I was about 25 or 30 years old. I write about God in almost every poem because He has had such an impact on my life. He has become such an ever-present Friend until I have literally become consumed by His presence. Because I am so consumed by His presence I have come to have a great love and respect for Him. Almost every poem in some way describes how I learn to trust him and how I am continuously learning to trust and depend upon Him. It was not an easy process for me to trust and depend upon God. I constantly expressed how I felt and the struggles I encountered as I learned to love God, trust God and depend upon His Word. In my first book, Through the Storms and Through the Rain, I describe many of my pent up feelings. I express a lot of self-doubt, pain, and disappointment. It was not easy having to deal with each difficulty that came into my life. I felt that if God was who He said He was then my life would not have to be so full of pain and heartache. When it seemed that He would not take the difficulties away I would become angry and accuse Him of all my pain. My philosophy was that if He were God then He was able to fix any problem and that included taking pain and disappointment out of my life. And when He didnt I became even more angry. I often wondered how a loving God could allow so much pain and so much heart-ache in peoples lives. He reminded me that we live in a fallen world where there is much sin, anguish, and pain. Each of us will be affected by it whether we desire it or not. But it is our attitude toward the heartache and pain that determines our outcome. So God taught me that pain, heartache, and sorrow will come because I am not in Heaven. But He has already overcome this world. I have to focus my heart and soul upon Him. The prophet Isaiah reminds me that God will keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind stayed on Him. (Isaiah 26:3)
