Almost seven years ago, my then fiance and I published a book. In the process, I did a final proof edit and stopped dead in my tracks with Chapter 15. No longer an editor, I was just a woman working her process. I don't have to take this book down off my shelf to remember what it was all about. I have told the story countless times. This is one of the most important books of my life, and I will remember and feel the effects on my life until the day I die. This is what I wrote to...

Before She Dies; After We Die  We are all saying that our friend is dying. Yes, a woman with pancreatic cancer knows her end is near and she is facing her mortality. But as she is dying, she is really living. She lives each moment knowing each one counts. Her grace and dignity inspire me. Our conversation today was meaningful and deep, yet at the same time, light and airy. Dying is a process of letting go. She is letting go of her judgments.

This is wonderful news! Read this article: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6968834/ns/us_news-education/t/colleges-offer-classes-relationships/#.VGBFTPnF-Sp.  Imagine these professors and students using the poster, The Path to Healthy Relationships, as a tool in their discussions and reflections.

I wish I would have had a course in college when I went to school in the late sixties! I do remember taking a class called Marriage and Family in the Social Work Department, and what I got out...

My husband and I love quotations and keep a little hand-written book of our favorite quotations. I can't count the times I have gone to the Internet and done a search for a quotation on a certain subject. So imagine our delight to publish Karen Speerstra's book, Questions Writers Ask: Wise, Whimsical, and Witty Answers from the Pros. The 6000 quotations are listed in a conversational manner as if you've gathered the writers in a room and they are responding to one another—and you are a mouse in the corner. I love this book. I think every writer should have this...

One of the most intelligent books we have ever published, if not thee most intelligent, is a book called LOVE and WAR. Two professors, Dr. Rudolf Harmsen and Dr. Paddy Welles, combined their professional and personal experience to write a book that I think should be a textbook on every college/university campus in the world. Maybe, just maybe, there could be some hope for this world if the younger generation in many countries grasped the contents of this book and integrated this knowledge. As Harry Palmer, creator of The Avatar Course, says, "When people realize that beliefs are merely art forms...
