Walking Life

Jason Chercher is not doing well in love or life. Just two weeks after his wife leaves him, he receives a phone call that his estranged mother has passed away, days before Christmas - leaving her home and all her belongings to him. Frankly, he would like to see everything just burned. But curiosity about his past and anxiety about his future fuels him to make the drive from Salt Lake City to her home in Medford, Oregon. Maybe cleaning out her house will be slightly less depressing than spending the holidays alone, watching reruns of Christmas classics.

Gotham Chopra considers himself a pretty average guy. He devours pizza, lives and dies by his hometown teams, and watches Kung Fu Panda with his son - daily. But his childhood wasn’t quite so average. Growing up, Gotham was exposed to the deepest reservoirs of knowledge that his famous father, Deepak, could find; his childhood was part spiritual, part scientific, and totally unique.

During their daily walks, new puppy Dea pulls her human, Alison, by the leash into making connections, handling crippling loss, and coping with the challenges of life. What might have been tragic through Alison’s eyes finds wider perspective and resonance through Dea’s as she tolerates Alison’s pathetic attempts at meditation and online dating, sees her through a second bout of cancer, and finally steers Alison toward appreciating life’s daily wonders that are a puppy’s birthright.

This is a memoir of my life growing up totally blind, and a testimonial to my Christian faith.

All the events in my life, both good and bad, seem to have coalesced into a very long, complicated math equation at this point in my life. The Holy Trinity Retreat Center and the Camino de Santiago seem to symbolize the answer to this very complicated equation. All the roads have led me here, and I would not change a thing. The Holy Trinity Retreat Center was my hardest test because there were so many stories within stories. The Lord called me to build this Holy place, and I am humbled that I was chosen. The I includes my wonderful wife and kids.

In so doing, she provides listeners with a rich compilation of insights into the ways of the world of Spirit, the Divine Mother, and the Archangels and Angels whose purpose it is to work to enlighten and heal the souls of creation.

Zintkala Waste, a full-blood Lakota, was born in 1943 in a remote community on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. Near his first birthday, he developed pneumonia. His mother, knowing he was near death, prayed to God, “Wakan Tanka, if you give me back my son, I will give him to you”. Therefore, Zintkala spent his growing-up years with elders, wisdom-keepers, and healers, who taught him traditional ways, including how to access and trust spirit guides. When he left the reservation and faced devastating hardship, loss, and discrimination, his Lakota values sustained him.

Walking is a form of exercise that’s available to most people. You don’t need any special equipment other than some supportive walking shoes. And there’s no need for an expensive membership at a fitness center. I wrote this book to break down the myths about physical, mental, and spiritual walking, to share the successes and challenges of my lifelong walking journey, to provide strategies and tools to embrace different types of walking at every age and stage of life, and to help teach others about building physical, mental, and emotional resilience and inner strength.

In April 2011, four soldiers set out on a challenge that even an able-bodied athlete would balk at: a 200-mile trek, unsupported, to the North Pole. It was the culmination of a journey that began long before, when two friends decided to mount an expedition that would demonstrate how remarkable our armed forces are and raise funds for the rehabilitation of injured service men and women. Little did they know that their idea would ultimately gain global attention.

Small beginnings. Detours along the way. Questions about how and when God is going to fulfill his purposes. We know the end of David's story, but David knew it only step by step. Like us, he had to follow God's path even when it seemed too slow. He had to believe that realizing our life's purpose is only the beginning of our calling, not the culmination of it. He had to trust that God sometimes allows years to go by between an anointing and a crown.

Walking with Elijah is the story of Doobie Shemer's literal and spiritual journey from kibbutznik to shaman. As he recounts the significant events in his life "his childhood in Israel, the loss of his father, the influence of Grandma Tova, his introduction to shamanism" Doobie takes us with him on his journeys to the spirit world to share his vivid mystical experiences and the answers he finds to life's key questions.

Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived? There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver's powerful lies: We must allow the "love of the truth" to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.

Is it time for another revolution? Seismic culture shifts leave Christians wondering how to effect lasting change. While the Bible calls disciples of Jesus to humility, they often display pride. Pride is the enemy of discipleship on every level, and it keeps disciples from making an impact for the kingdom. In The Revolutionary Disciple, Jim Putman and Chad Harrington offer clear guidance for navigating cultural changes with humility. They walk listeners through the five spheres of discipleship and unveil their four core practices of humility along the way.

In April 2011, four soldiers - each a hero of recent conflicts who suffered devastating injuries in the line of duty - set out on a challenge that even an able-bodied athlete would balk at: a 200 mile trek, unsupported, to the North Pole. It was the culmination of a journey that began long before, when two friends decided to mount an expedition that would demonstrate how remarkable our armed forces are and raise funds for the rehabilitation of injured service men and women.

Francesco Clark was a 24-year-old with a bright future when he went to the Hamptons for the weekend. A nocturnal dive into the pool's shallow end changed everything. Paralyzed from the neck down, doctors announced that he'd never move from his bed or breathe without assistance. But Francesco fought back....

Walking with Elephants, a lighthearted slice-of-life story, brings to the table the serious work/family issues facing women today. It explores the modern dichotomy of a workplace that is filled with homemakers who still must cook, clean, carpool on nights and weekends, shop for prom dresses, and create the holidays -- such as Suze. But it also is filled with women who have the same drive as men, have no family responsibilities, and will do what ever it takes to get ahead.
