Mother to Son, by Kimberley R. Crouch


Words of Wisdom, Inspiration, and Hope for Today's Young African-American Men

“Mothers raise their daughters and love their sons,” is an old adage that has been around in the African-American community for years. With the release of movies like Boyz In The Hood and Menace to Society, this adage has grown in popularity in the African-American community and has often been used to explain the ills facing many young African-American men. For any African-American mother who has heard this adage and believed it true, comes a compelling book of wisdom, inspiration and hope that’s bound to prove differently. Mother to Son is a powerfully written book that shows that mothers do more than love their sons. The author, through a beautifully scripted, heartfelt collection of letters, offers candid advice for her sons on the issues they may face from racism to self-recognition. Although written from a mother to her sons, this book provides timeless wisdom for all. A MUST read for any mother facing the challenge of preparing her sons for, and protecting them from, the society in which they must live.

Becoming Magic: A Course in Manifesting an Exceptional Life (Book 1), by Genevieve Davis


"Becoming Magic" is book one of a complete course in becoming creator of your own exceptional life. In this book, I outline the exact steps which enabled me to move my own life from one of poverty and drudgery, to one of previously unimaginable wealth, purpose and joy.

‘But Magic? I do hope you are joking!’

That’s what I would have said, five or ten years ago. I once despised all things ‘New-Age’, all these spiritual types and their airy-fairy views, their bad science and their irrational beliefs.

I read all the greats, Wallace Wattles, Anthony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne, Napoleon Hill, Esther Hicks and Wayne Dyer. But no matter how closely I followed their instructions, I couldn’t make it work.

It was only when I recognized, accepted and finally embraced that what I was doing was actually some kind of Magic that suddenly things began to fall into place. Once I realized that the power came from within me, it was as if the light had suddenly been switched on.

If you’re jaded by the whole New Age Law of Attraction idea, have become bored by its failure to deliver… this book is for you. It is my intention to lead you by the hand through a marvelous journey of wonder and adventure.

Part one of this course, Becoming Magic, lays the groundwork for becoming a magical person, while part two, Doing Magic, offers concrete techniques and instructions for bringing wonderful things into your life. The plan is to build your knowledge slowly, gradually, building on what has gone before, moving on to more complex techniques only once the basics are mastered.

So many people fail with Magic and the Law of Attraction because they rush headlong into using techniques, trying to create enormous manifestations, making very simple but crucial mistakes. When they are disappointed, they imagine they have been duped. The sceptics are right. This is all a load of scammy nonsense. And they give up, declaring it just doesn’t work.

I am telling you that it does work. And you can make it work. And this book will show you how.

My intention is that this book will allow you to become a true creator of your own life, reawakening and rekindling your belief and interest in The Law of Attraction, Reality Creation, Cosmic Ordering or whatever you wish to call it.

I prefer simply to call it Magic.

Living in the Psychic Realm, by Jethro Smith


This is the true-life story through the eyes of eight-year-old Jethro, part Native American Indian, who is born with the psychic gift. He is forced to realize that not everyone sees and hears what he sees and hears when his gift becomes heightened after a near-death experience. It is humorous yet heartwarming as he attempts to reject the gift, then with the guidance and mentoring of his devout godmother learns to accept and embrace his potential to help others.

The battle between the light and dark energies is eye-opening to both believers and non-believers of the psychic realm. The refreshing perspective of youth illuminates paradigms of traditional good vs. evil and clarifies common misconceptions of what it means to be psychic. It is written in an easy-to-read, unpretentious style yet addresses eternal life-concepts. The book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt "different" and an inspiration to develop one’s own intuitive senses.

About the Author
Jethro Smith, part native American Indian, is a natural-born intuitive and has always been able to see auras and energies around people. His gift was heightened after a near-death experience, and in kindergarten he began reading his friends' auras and listening to their angels and loved ones who had crossed over. Jethro is a reverend residing in Florida and has been professionally serving others for over 30 years.

The Child (Alien in the Delta), by Thankful Strother


***Free Kindle Download May 1-3, 2014***

Sex with the High School Teachers

Several of my teachers in high school were young women who had just finished 'teachers' training. Ours was the first class they had taught for a full school year. The young teachers were about six years older than their students.

Sex was a frequent topic of discussion with our young teachers. Are you still a virgin? Have you ever had sex? Do you enjoy sex? Do you use protection? How often do you and your girlfriend have sex? The young female teachers asked the boys these types of questions. All of the boys thought it was cool having this kind of personal relationship with our young female teachers.

Some of the young women teachers gave private sex lessons to the more mature male students. I was not advanced or mature enough to be given lessons, but we had lots of personal contact and inappropriate discussions with our young female teachers.

Was what we did with our teachers wrong or harmful? I don't believe that I suffered any emotional or psychological harm because of the inappropriate behavior of our young female teachers. However, I am in therapy.

Alien in the Delta Series

"The Child" is the first book in the Alien in the Delta series. It highlights the life of a boy from the age of six until he graduates from high school at age seventeen. During that time he discovers girls,sex music, dance, and becomes self-aware.

"The Soldier" is the second book. Thankful Strother spent four years in the United States Air Force. He was stationed in Germany where he learned to speak German, met his future wife and traveled throughout Europe.

"The Adult" is the last book in the series of three. Thankful returns home from Germany. He settles in Detroit, gets married, starts a family and buys their first house. He goes to work in the automotive industry, learns to program computers, enters the corporate world and becomes a successful real estate investor. The Series end after his promotion to District Sales Manager of NCR Corporation and the family moves to a Detroit suburb.

About the Author
Thankful Strother born 1943 in Grand Lake, AR., grew up in Eudora AR. Graduated from high school in 1961 and joined the US Air Force. Stationed in Germany for four years, there he learned to speak German and met his wife Barbara. Married forty-seven years, they live in California and have two adult children. He retired in 2003. Thankful Strother had a thirty-five-year career in computers and telecommunications with NCR and AT&T. In his retirement, he has accomplished his goal to write a book about his early life. Alien in the Delta is that book. It is a memoir about growing up poor in a hostile environment in the 1950's to experience unimaginable success later in life.

The Alien (inner child) never leaves us regardless how old we become. Some of us learn to live with the inner child. Others want to forget the memories of the inner child. When I started to think about writing a book about my life I wanted to remember my childhood years as far back as possible. It was such a challenge because you do not know what you will encounter as to try to remember. I actually spent several years recalling my early childhood. You could say I got stuck in the pass. When I finished my childhood years I had two chapters finished.

My inner child takes you on a journey that highlights the life experiences of a boy from the age of six through manhood. He grew up on the Mississippi River in the Arkansas Delta, but felt out-of-place in that environment. In his home town prejudice and inequality were practice openly. His escape from the Delta was not realized until he went abroad. He takes you on his adventures in the rural south and throughout Europe. He shares with you a variety of emotions including fear, sadness, happiness, and amusement. Alien in the Delta is a memoir about overcoming adversity.

Having been called many different names at various times in my life, I would like to explain how I became Thankful Strother. My first nickname was Thee in Eudora, Arkansas. In Germany, it was Gerard, or Gary. After joining NCR Corporation, I was known as Ted, or Teddy. Now, I have decided to select my own first name. Through research into my family's genealogy on Ancestry.com, I am able to update and correct some of family history by writing a book about my ancestors. I discovered that S-t-r-o-t-h-e-r was the correct spelling of our family's last name. John Strother, my grand-father changed the spelling of our last name because he got into trouble with the law. I also found out that my great-great grandfather's first name was Thankful. In his honor and as a testimony to his life's experiences, therefore I am Thankful Strother.

The Art of Being Alive - Revisited (Annotated), by Ella Wheeler Wilcox


I found this book in an antique shop in Fremantle, Australia and picked it up, out of curiosity. When I flicked through the pages I was fascinated by the clarity and relevance of the few sentences I had read. I asked myself: “More than one hundred years ago they had already books about self-development?” I was so absorbed, I decided to buy the book.

I continued reading and wondered who this person, who this author, was. I did some research and what I found fascinated me even more. For example, a book review of 1914 by Walter de la Mare, published by “The Times Literary Supplement,” states the following:"...fragments that remain rather than by the elixir they have wasted and the miracle it represents.” Or this: “She heartily denounces the get-rich-quick method of financiering.” For those inquisitive minds, the whole book review text is contained in the notes, see for yourself and you will find that it indeed makes an interesting read.

Until I came across this book, somehow I had this belief that self-improvement and self-help books are a sign of our modern times. As this book is testimony, the whole subject of self-improvement goes back a long time and people had always tried to better themselves and even then already, wanted to improve their lives. I was also surprised to learn how little has changed in one hundred years. For example in the chapter, “Modern Marriage”, Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes: “WHY the contention, the separations, the ever-increasing ratio of divorces that follow the marriages of to-day? In short, what is the matter with the modern marriage?”

There are many more examples how Ella’s writing is still relevant here and now, therefore I decided it would be a loss if her thoughts were not exposed to other people who are interested in self-improvement and never have had the opportunity to read her thoughts on this subject.

About the Author
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850 – October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Other published works by her:

* Poems of Passion
* The Way Of The World, this contains the lines, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone".

Her autobiography, "The Worlds and I", was published in 1918, a year before her death.

Ella Wheeler was born in 1850 on a farm in Johnstown, Wisconsin, east of Janesville, the youngest of four children. The family soon moved north of Madison. She started writing poetry at a very early age, and was well known as a poet in her own state by the time she graduated from high school.
