 Finding
the Sweet Spot by Dave Pollard
The Natural Entrepreneur’s Guide to Responsible, Sustainable, Joyful
Work
Foreword by Dave Smith
Synopsis
"Now what am I going to do?" is a question many people ask-and leave
unanswered-at critical potential turning points in their careers.
Perhaps you're a new graduate, but instead of lining up for a boring
entry-level job at a big corporation, you wish you could start your own
sustainable and responsible business. Or maybe you've been stuck in a
job you hate for a few years, but you still dream of doing the thing you
love and that you're actually good at. Or maybe you're a boomer and
you're ready for a second career, a personal venture that will represent
a total change from what you've spent most of your work life doing.
Whatever your situation, this is the book to help you get started.
Finding the Sweet Spot explains how sustainable, responsible, and joyful
natural enterprises differ from most jobs, and it provides the framework
for building your own natural enterprise. You'll learn how to find
partners who will help make your venture successful, how to do
world-class market research, how to innovate, how to build resilience
into your enterprise, and how to avoid the land mines that sink so many
small businesses. Most importantly, you'll learn how to find the "sweet
spot" where your gifts, your passions, and your purpose intersect.

 Blood
on the Door Post by William Schnoebelen and Sharon Schnoebelen
An advanced course in spiritual warfare. You can rise above fear, guilt,
occult and witchcraft connections and gain victory in your life.
Bill and Sharon Schnoebelen were deeply involved in Satanism, but Jesus
Christ set them free. Through their personal experiences, the
Schnoebelens learned a great deal about how to be freed from demonic
bondages.
Since finding Christ as their Saviour, the Schnoebelens have helped many
other Christians be liberated from Satan's control. Although these
people had often sought freedom for years and had enlisted the help of
clergy and friends, they were unable to gain victory in their life. But
after putting into practice the Biblical principles the Schnoebelen's
suggested, victory was finally achieved.
Now, these same Biblical principles have been incorporated into this
practical book. You can have victory in your Christian life. You can be
victorious over drug abuse, cults, resentment, unforgiveness,
depression, anger and more. This book will show you how.

rote-memorization drills. Weapons of Mass Instruction promises to add
another chilling metaphor to the brief against schooling.

 Made
from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life
(Hardcover) by Jenna Woginrich
Starting off as a young, single woman with a desk job and a city
apartment, Jenna Woginrich set out to build a more self-sufficient
lifestyle by learning homesteading skills. She didn't own land or have
much practical experience beyond a few forays into knitting and soap
making, but she did have a strong desire to opt out of what she saw as a
consumer-driven culture. After moving across the country to a rented
farmhouse in northern Idaho, she learned to raise chickens, keep bees,
and grow her own food.
This is the story of her joyful, dramatic, and sometimes sorrowful
journey toward self-reliance. Along the way, she learned that an
abundance of enthusiasm and a willingness to experiment could make up
for a lack of knowledge, and that reaching out to others for mentoring
and guidance could help her reconnect with her community.
From the satisfying work of starting a new garden and installing
honeybees, to the bliss of gathering fresh eggs to be baked into a
quiche served with warm-from-the-oven bread and hand-churned butter,
Made from Scratch shares the deep satisfaction that comes with providing
for oneself. In an encouraging and entertaining voice, Woginrich weaves
into her narrative easy-to-follow instructions for making your own
clothes, teaching yourself to play a musical instrument, and much more.
In any setting — urban, suburban, or rural — with any level of
experience, it's possible to take small steps toward self-reliance.
Window box vegetable gardens, a batch of homemade strawberry jam, a hand
knit sweater, or a small flock of backyard chickens all satisfy the
craving to homestead. It's not about having a rustic cabin on five
acres, complete with a pickup truck and a barn full of livestock. For
Woginrich, it's about being more receptive to learning the simple skills
most of us have forgotten, and finding joy in the process.
Praise for Made from Scratch —
"The book...is simultaneously a lighthearted fish-out-of-water,
city-girl-turns-homesteader memoir, and a more serious primer on making
a lifestyle change. Perfect for environmentally conscious,
do-it-yourself readers." —Booklist
"This fine, simple book is the real deal — and it will come as a great
relief to people feeling some silent dread in a time of rising gas
prices, food shortages, and the like. Much can be done -- in your home!"
—Bill McKibbon, author of Deep Economy
"A delightful introduction to the simple (and not so simple) life."
—William Alexander, author of The $64 Tomato

 Prisoned Chickens – Poisoned Eggs by Karen Davis PhD
An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry
The original edition of this book exposed modern poultry practices,
revealing the tragedy chickens endure through the lens of an industry
that brutally processes them without remorse. Newly revised, Karen Davis
again looks at the horrific conditions these animals face - in spite of
free-range and cage-free claims - and at the heightened risks consumers
face living in a world in which avian influenza, food poisoning, global
warming, and genetic engineering interface with the expansion of poultry
production and consumption.
The author offers a compelling argument for adopting a compassionate,
plant-based cuisine as an alternative to the inhumane practices the
industry offers. This book will help both flextarians and
non-vegetarians alike understand the real price of their breakfast or
dinner and may provide the catalyst need to change warfare to welfare.

 The
Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion
How Feelings Link the Brain, the Body, and the Sixth Sense
By Michael A. Jawer
With Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D.
Foreword by Larry Dossey, M.D.
About The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion
A cutting-edge examination of feelings, not thoughts, as the gateway to
understanding consciousness
• Contends that emotion is the greatest influence on personality
development
• Offers a new perspective on immunity, stress, and psychosomatic
conditions
• Explains how emotion is key to understanding out-of-body experience,
apparitions, and other anomalous perceptions
Contemporary science holds that the brain rules the body and generates
all our feelings and perceptions. Michael Jawer and Dr. Marc Micozzi
disagree. They contend that it is our feelings that underlie our
conscious selves and determine what we think and how we conduct our
lives.
The less consciousness we have of our emotional being, the more physical
disturbances we are likely to have--from ailments such as migraines,
fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and post-traumatic stress to anomalous
perceptions such as apparitions and involuntary out-of-body experiences.
Using the latest scientific research on immunity, sensation, stress,
cognition, and emotional expression, the authors demonstrate that the
way we process our feelings provides a key to who is most likely to
experience these phenomena and why. They explain that emotion is a
portal into the world of extraordinary perception, and they provide the
studies that validate the science behind telepathic dreams,
poltergeists, and ESP. The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion challenges the
prevailing belief that the brain must necessarily rule the body. Far
from being by-products of neurochemistry, the authors show that emotions
are the key vehicle by which we can understand ourselves and our
interactions with the world around us as well as our most
intriguing--and perennially baffling--experiences.

syndrome.” He lives in Vienna, Virginia. Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D.,
