4. PEACE BREEDS PROSPERITY; POVERTY HINDERS PEACE Peace and poverty cannot coexist. Peace is not merely the
absence of conflict. Establishing and maintaining peace will take far more creativity, dedication, and hard work than war ever did.

introduce creative ideas for ending poverty everywhere, in the hope that humans can finally build a truly peaceful society where
everyone enjoys at least the basic benefits of prosperity, for the first time in history. --Contact: Debbie Jordan,

God is fanciful, adventurous and serious, all at the same time — like God. I highly recommend it for anyone who is ready to give God
another try!” ISBN = 0980023408. email:

14. I just wrote my first book, "MY FUNNY DAD, HARRY." I wrote it when my dad died last February in his memory. I kept
thinking of so many funny and unusual things he did while trying to sleep and decided to put them into a book. It's a short, quick,
emotional read about his love for family, the funny things he did, his cats, and how our relationship changed as we grew older. I
share some of the frustrations of being a primary care giver to my dad and how God helped me through the difficult months following
his death.

18. Recently published memoir, FOUR ROOMS, UPSTAIRS: A Psychotherapist's Journey Into and Beyond Her Mother's
Mental Illness. The feed-back I'm receiving makes me feel confident that as a daughter of immigrants (with a mother who happened
to be mentally ill), clinicians will benefit from reading it as well as patients who have been deprived the opportunity of living in an
environment in which the healthy, independent development of their spirit could thrive. Many have already told me that they have
gained hope from reading my book. Indeed, I don't want sound presumptuous, but I do believe it will be of interest to most readers. It
is not a HOW TO manual but rather a devastating story which evolves into an exploration which allows the reader to experience how
it is possible to move through trauma without forgetting but with a new-found ability to forgive and to move on. If my story speaks
to you, I will happily send you a copy. In any event, I look forward to your response. With much gratitude for your time and
consideration, Linda Appleman Shapiro, author.

21. “Does GOD Ever Speak Through CATS?” is a book about my own spiritual journey after having an adult conversion
experience. (I am a preacher’s kid.) The book is also about my unlikely relationship with a stray cat in my backyard. (At the
beginning of this memoir I hated cats.) As time went on I came to realize that there was a strong and surprising connection between
my relationship with God and my relationship with the cat. I realized the cat was a parable! This book contains lots of cat stories and
lots of talk about God. If you would like to write a review of this book for Amazon.com, please contact me for a review copy. My
