Image caption: “Letting Go: A Story of Change and Transformation” by Dan.

Born into a rich, diverse heritage – Indigenous, Thai, Burmese, North Vietnamese, French, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean – Dan’s life has been a mosaic of cultures, shaped by her parents’ escape from the Vietnam War and their migration to Australia. Growing up as the daughter of refugees, Dan learned early on the importance of identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. Her matriarchal lineage, filled with strong, resilient women, was a guiding force through the most challenging times.

In this first book of the Face Everything and Rise series, Dan unpacks the messiness of life, exploring how it’s never a straight path, how setbacks are inevitable, and how strength isn’t always about being perfect, but about showing up, step by step. She dives deep into the generational traumas that have shaped her, highlighting how women in her family fought to heal and transform, breaking cycles of pain to create new legacies of empowerment.

Dan emphasizes that true healing starts within. By confronting childhood trauma, family wounds, and cultural scars, we free ourselves from the past. Letting Go is a memoir and a blueprint for those looking to heal, transform, and rise above their circumstances.

“It’s about embracing who we are, mistakes and all,” says Dan. “Healing isn’t linear. We take it one step at a time, one day at a time, and move forward. The women in my life showed me that strength is built in the most unexpected ways.”

About the Author

Dan is a life & leadership coach, children’s yoga instructor, model, artist, and a mother, daughter, granddaughter, niece, friend, and sister. Her diverse heritage and the strength of her family’s matriarchal line have been the bedrock of her journey. Through Letting Go, Dan shares her own story of transformation and empowerment, offering guidance for others to face their own struggles and rise.

“Letting Go” is a powerful read for anyone ready to face their fears, heal old wounds, and rise stronger than ever before.

BOOK: Down to the Sea by Mike Belnap and Candy Lawrence
Image caption: “Down to the Sea” is an essential read for anyone seeking a moving and empowering story about the power of love, the fight for equality, and the unyielding determination of parents advocating for their children.

When Ty was born in 1978, the Belnap family was advised by doctors not to take their newborn son home due to his disability. The medical professionals suggested that they abandon him, but Mike and Nancy refused to heed that advice. Instead, they embarked on a lifelong journey of discovery and advocacy for their son, determined that Ty would take his rightful place in the world, regardless of the prevailing attitudes toward children with disabilities.

As educators, Mike and Nancy Belnap challenge the educational system, adapting it for the benefit of all children with disabilities. Their story unfolds through remarkable voyages on the high seas and in their quest for equal opportunities, underscoring their commitment to a positive outlook amidst adversity. However, the journey is not without heartache, and when tragedy strikes, Mike is forced to confront the harsh realities of life and prepare Ty for a world without both parents.

“Down to the Sea” is more than just a memoir – it’s a testament to the strength of love and the unbreakable bond between parent and child. Through their travels and triumphs, the Belnaps demonstrate the importance of resilience in the face of societal barriers, offering hope to all who face similar challenges.

“The story of my family is one of relentless positivity in the face of overwhelming odds,” said Mike Belnap. “Our journey was about breaking down barriers for Ty, and I hope that our story continues to inspire others to fight for the inclusion and rights of children with disabilities everywhere.”

80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Marked by the Release of ‘Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz,’ told in their own words

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Jan. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On January 27, 2025, the world will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On this historic day, author Richard K. Lowy launches ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” (ISBN: 978-1779410092), a powerful firsthand account of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable evil, released by Tellwell Publishing.

BOOK: Kalman and Leopold by Richard K. Lowy
Image caption: ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” by Richard K. Lowy.

This extraordinary book tells the true story of two young boys—Leopold, the author’s father, and his friend Kalman—both twins from separate families, who were brought together in Auschwitz and became victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s brutal experiments. Separated from their twin sisters, the boys endured harrowing conditions in “Mengele’s Zoo” and witnessed the inner workings of the camp’s hospital barracks and SS guard shack. Their bond and courage helped them survive the horrors that claimed millions.

For six and a half months, Leopold became Kalman’s protector, guiding him through the horrors of the guard shack with his sharp wit and unwavering courage. When the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945, the boys were separated and presumed each other dead. For 56 years, Kalman searched for “his Lipa,” the boy who protected him.

Why This Story Matters

Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust survivors’ voices are fading. Kalman and Leopold preserves an unparalleled perspective, offering firsthand insights into Mengele’s experiments and the unique experiences of twin children imprisoned in Auschwitz. The book highlights not just the atrocities but also the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

A Timely Call to Action

As antisemitism and Holocaust denial rise globally, Kalman and Leopold serves as both a warning and a call to preserve history. This anniversary is not just a remembrance—it is a demand to confront hatred, uphold the truth, and educate future generations.

Events Honoring the Release

On January 27, commemorative events and discussions will take place worldwide to honor this milestone. The release of Kalman and Leopold will be central to these efforts, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects history to the ongoing fight against prejudice and oppression.

Praise for “Kalman & Leopold”

“Lowy’s narrative technique immerses readers in the lived experiences of his subjects, making their pain, resilience, and humanity palpable in ways that transcend traditional historical documentation.” – K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

About the Author:

Richard K. Lowy, the son of Leopold, is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director whose work has spanned collaborations with legendary artists and world leaders. His passion for preserving his father’s history led him to create Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by EGOT-winning actor Christopher Plummer. (leosjourney.com) Lowy’s dedication to honoring the voices of Holocaust survivors culminates in this deeply personal and historically significant book.

Availability – Book Launch – January 27, 2025

“Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” launches January 27, 2025, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Available through Amazon and all major online retailers.

Woman, 49, Unveils Bold Holistic Blueprint for How She Plans on Becoming a Verified Guinness World Record Holder in Longevity

TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — At 49, “Smile,” affectionately known online as “The Smile Enthusiast,” unveils her groundbreaking longevity textbook, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle” (ISBN: 978-0228889540; released by Tellwell Publishing in November 2024). This inspiring work outlines her bold, holistic approach and detailed blueprint for achieving extraordinary health and longevity.

#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle
Image caption: Cover, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle.”

With a vision extending to the year 2097 (and beyond), Smile is on a mission to live a life rooted in grassroots traditions—embracing the practices of our ancestors from over 150 years ago, before the advent of supplements, pharmaceuticals, or biohacking technologies. By living intentionally, mindfully, and healthfully, she aims to prove that a lifestyle built on natural, time-honored principles can lead her to claim the Guinness World Record for (verified) Oldest Person Ever.

Drawing on a decade of self-study in plant medicine and her personal journey of overcoming chronic illness, addiction, and other hardships, Smile shares the holistic tools and herbal recipes she used to reverse a lifetime of chronic symptoms without pharmaceuticals and without a supplement-heavy approach. She details the nutrients she believes are key to her longevity goals and provides readers with numerous plant food sources where these nutrients can be found. Smile also offers insight into how she rewired her brain to ensure that stress no longer becomes a burden that hinders her daily life. This textbook includes countless recipes for the foods and drinks she consumes, her fasting practices, kitchen tips, and her zero-waste strategies—including repurposing juice pulp into Herbal Hot Toddies (holistic healing beverages)—and SO MUCH MORE!

Readers will learn techniques for growing sprouts and microgreens, which Smile calls her “secret weapon” for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Additionally, with the support of her co-author, Jenny Diehl, BCHN, this textbook introduces the revolutionary Platinum Standard Guide to Ingredients. This guide highlights over 3,000 ingredients, many of which are found in so-called “organic” products we use on and in our bodies, as well as in our homes. It challenges blind trust in regulatory agencies, which can sometimes mislead the public due to undue influence from large corporations with vested interests.

WHAT IS #FUTURECENTURIONLIFE?

Rejecting the fragile connotations of “centenarian,” Smile embraces the term “centurion,” symbolizing leadership, resilience, and stamina. With a focus on whole plant foods, unadulterated medicinal herbs, and her unique “keys to longevity,” Smile offers a roadmap to living joyfully and vibrantly.

Her comprehensive 712-page user-friendly interactive longevity textbook invites readers to create a healthier, more vibrant self without relying on supplements, tinctures, or pharmaceuticals. Smile shares practical tools, strategies, personal stories, and detailed how-to guides about everything she eats, drinks, and thinks. Her wealth of knowledge on plant medicine inspires readers to explore Mother Nature’s medicine as sustainable wellness tools for achieving one’s best, longest life.

“Longevity is about more than just adding years to your life; it’s about adding life to your years,” Smile explains. “Whether you choose to walk this path with me or watch from the sidelines, I hope my story empowers you to navigate the overwhelming flood of health information we’re bombarded with; a chaotic landscape of contradictory opinions, advice, and information. My goal is to encourage you to stay grounded, find clarity and calm amidst the noise, and forge your own path to stress-free living, a balanced mind, and an abundance of strength and vitality – unlocking a level of health so extraordinary it redefines what you believe is possible for the body, mind, and soul.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Smile Enthusiast is a passionate advocate for plant medicine and a champion of the human spirit. Known for her motivational and empowering presence, she inspires women worldwide to take control of their health and embrace graceful aging through accountability, consistency, discernment, and critical thinking.

Having overcome profound challenges – including addiction and chronic health issues – Smile is a living testament to the power of the lifestyle she has built, as a proud retro human. She invites others to reclaim their health and discover the incredible potential of the human body when it is provided with the tools it truly needs to thrive, not just survive.

Jamil Elias Kabalan Unveils New Book: ‘Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!’ – A Philosophical Exploration of Religious Truth

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Renowned architect, artist, and philosopher Jamil Elias Kabalan has released his latest book, “Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!” (ISBN: 978-1779410184), released by Tellwell Publishing December, 2024. The work is a bold and thought-provoking examination of the philosophies behind the three major doctrines: Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammdianity (Mohammadiah). Aimed at those in media, law, politics, education, and the general public, this book offers a deep dive into the true essence of these doctrines, challenging readers to seek the truth in a world often clouded by deception.

Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!
Image caption: “Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!” by Jamil Elias Kabalan.

In his book “Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!,” Kabalan questions the state of modern society, referring to it as a “lost, deceived world” plagued by lies and disconnected from the truth. He urges readers to purify their souls from evil and reconnect with the divine spirit to achieve inner peace and eternal harmony. The book is not just a critique but a call for a spiritual and philosophical awakening, advocating for a return to the true teachings of these doctrines before embracing any religion blindly.

This book respects all three doctrines but seeks to reveal the deeper truths that have been lost in the chaos of modern life.

Jamil Elias Kabalan was born in Ain Akrin Alkoura, North Lebanon, and later immigrated to Australia, where he built a distinguished career in architecture, earning a Diploma in Architectural Drafting, a Bachelor of Architecture, and a Master of Project Management from the University of New South Wales. He contributed to significant projects, including the Sydney Olympic bid in 2000. Kabalan’s literary work is deeply influenced by his spiritual hero, Lord Jesus Christ, as well as philosophical giants like Plato, Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, and Gibran Khalil Gibran.

In this new book, Kabalan combines his philosophical insights with his original drawings. His work is not just a philosophical inquiry but also a visual exploration, making “Is God a Lie or Are We? Certainly We Are!” a unique and impactful read.

Kabalan is regarded as a revolutionist philosopher, a scathing writer, and an artist-architect. His work has consistently sought to challenge conventional thinking and encourage readers to explore deeper truths. He also highlights the cultural and civilizational contributions of Israel and Lebanon, urging the world to recognize their significance and support their peace and security.

New #1 Hit Children’s Book ‘Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be’ Inspires Self-Love and Universal Kindness

Author and reality TV personality Johnny Stanz's journey to becoming an author is as inspiring as the message in his book

BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 31, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author and reality TV personality Johnny Stanz has released his debut children’s book, “Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be” (ISBN: 978-0228895190), published on December 12, 2024, by Tellwell Publishing. This beautifully written poem teaches readers of all ages the importance of kindness, self-acceptance, and celebrating the differences that make each person unique. The book has already reached #1 as a Hot New Release in Amazon.com’s Children’s Multiculturalism & Tolerance category.

BOOK: Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be
Image caption: “Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be” by Johnny Stanz.

Stanz’s journey to becoming an author is as inspiring as the message in his book. On August 15, 2009, while serving in the United States Marine Corps, he sustained life-threatening injuries from an improvised explosive device (IED). Given a zero-percent chance of survival and spending over a month and a half in a coma, he defied the odds. On December 12, 2009—exactly 15 years before his book’s release – he walked out of the hospital completely unassisted. His recovery stands as a testament to perseverance and hope, values that resonate throughout his writing.

“In a world where the message that ‘nobody’s perfect’ is often emphasized, we should flip the narrative by reminding readers that perfection lies in being true to oneself,” says the author. “People often wish they could speak every language in the world, but kindness is a language everyone already knows and understands. It’s the most powerful way to connect with others.”

Through lyrical prose, “Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be” challenges societal standards and instills a sense of self-worth while emphasizing the inherent value in every individual. It explores concepts such as striving to be the best version of oneself and recognizing that while actions may be imperfect, individuals are inherently perfect when they give their best effort. The book also celebrates diversity, highlighting how differences in race, culture, beliefs, and gender enrich the world, and reinforces the Golden Rule: treat others as you wish to be treated.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Johnny Stanz’s journey to writing began with a heartfelt list he penned for his daughter, Charlotte. Meant to guide and inspire her to treat others with respect and love, his early morning reflection on kindness, acceptance, and life’s simple yet profound truths soon blossomed into a beautiful poem. Encouraged by two of his sisters, both elementary school teachers in their respective communities, he expanded the poem into a charming children’s book. To further refine his craft before publication, Stanz completed a poetry-writing course through the University of Oxford, ultimately preparing his work to share with the world.

Stanz’s goal is to make the world a better place, one reader at a time. Through the various stanzas in “Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be,” he hopes to inspire children and adults alike to embrace the beauty of individuality—both within themselves and in others—and to exemplify the power of kindness.

AVAILABILITY:

“Everyone Is Perfect for Just Who They Should Be” is available now on Amazon and other major online retailers.

Paula J. Conlon Honors the Legacy of Comanche Artist and Flute Player Doc Tate Nevaquaya in New Biography

Known for revitalizing the Native American flute tradition, Doc Tate’s music and art revealed the beauty and richness of Comanche culture to the world

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 27, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ethnomusicologist and author Paula J. Conlon celebrates the life and artistic contributions of Doc Tate Nevaquaya with her new book, “Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player” (ISBN: 978-0228866374). Released Oct. 30, 2024 by Tellwell Publishing, this biography honors Doc Tate Nevaquaya (1932–1996), a master artist, musician, and Knowledge Keeper of the Numunu (Comanche) Nation’s traditional arts.

BOOK: Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player
Image caption: “Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player” by Paula J. Conlon.

The book offers a heartfelt portrayal of Doc Tate Nevaquaya, whose work transcended cultural barriers. Known for revitalizing the Native American flute tradition, Doc Tate’s music and art revealed the beauty and richness of Comanche culture to the world. As his wife Charlotte recalled, “He would say, ‘We are not savages. We love, too.’” This sentiment echoes throughout Doc Tate’s artwork and music, which emphasized themes of love, beauty, and identity.

For Conlon, this project is deeply personal. Listening to Comanche Flute Music Played by Doc Tate Nevaquaya in 1979 inspired her lifelong journey as an ethnomusicologist. Living in Oklahoma allowed Conlon to collaborate closely with Doc Tate’s sons, Edmond and Timothy Tate Nevaquaya, to share their father’s enduring legacy.

Through vivid storytelling and insightful research, Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player serves as a tribute to Doc Tate Nevaquaya’s artistry, love for his culture, and his impact on preserving Indigenous traditions.

New Historical Fiction Novel Delves Into the Brutality of Impressment in 18th and 19th Century England

TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 10, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Independent author W Blair Doman releases a gripping historical fiction novel, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” (ISBN: 978-0228815914), released by Tellwell Publishing. The book sheds light on the lives disrupted by England’s practice of impressment – the forced recruitment of men and boys for naval service – during the 1700s and 1800s. This novel offers a poignant look at the human cost of war and the plight of those who endured it unwillingly.

BOOK: PRESSED by W Blair Doman
Image caption: Cover, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force.”

For over a century, England manned its warships by forcibly impressing common men, often from impoverished areas, and sending them to sea under brutal conditions. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” captures the harsh reality faced by two families whose lives were upended by the press gangs – roving groups authorized by the king to seize civilians for naval service. Doman weaves a narrative of hardship, loss, and survival, depicting the intertwined fates of Mona Froud and Maria Duncan, two women left behind to navigate life without their loved ones.

“When I began writing, I wanted to tell the story of the common people who had no choice in the matter,” said W Blair Doman. “The book highlights the struggles of those taken against their will, with no concern for the families they left behind. It’s a story of resilience in the face of government-sanctioned injustice.”

A STORY OF LOSS, LOVE, AND ENDURANCE

In the novel, readers follow Mona, whose husband, Ned, was taken by the press gangs, leaving her to raise their children alone. Fifteen years later, she still does not know if he is alive or dead. Meanwhile, young lovers Maria Duncan and Will Ryketts see their future shattered when Will is taken during a tavern raid. Their stories intersect as the two women struggle to survive and protect their families while hoping for a reunion that may never come.

An excerpt from “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” provides a glimpse into the world of 1819 England, where love and hope are overshadowed by the realities of a nation at war. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil of the characters as they navigate life without certainty or support.

W Blair Doman embarked on the path of self-publishing with the encouragement of friends and family who believed in the importance of the story. The author credits their support as the driving force behind bringing the book to print.

“I was encouraged to pursue self-publishing by those closest to me,” Doman added. “Their belief in the story and the message it carries inspired me to share it with a broader audience.”

W Blair Doman brings history to life with a passion for storytelling that reflects on the human experience. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” marks a significant step in sharing lesser-known historical realities through a deeply personal narrative lens. With a dedication to accuracy and emotional depth, Doman aims to provide a voice to those who endured forced recruitment and the families who suffered in silence.

“Pressed: Recruitment by Force” is available now in paperback and eBook formats on major online platforms.

Honoring Paula Gallant: New Book Advocates for Change and Raises Awareness on Violence Against Women

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Nov. 25, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lynn Gallant Blackburn’s powerful new book, “For the Love of My Sister” (ISBN: 978-1779620699; Nov. 25, 2024), is now available through Tellwell Publishing. Author Lynn Gallant Blackburn seeks to honor the memory of her sister Paula Gallant, who was tragically murdered through domestic violence in 2005.

BOOK: For the Love of My Sister by Lynn Gallant Blackburn
Cover, “For the Love of My Sister” by Lynn Gallant Blackburn.

Through her writing, Lynn channels a message of hope and perseverance while advocating for legislative changes to support victims of intimate partner violence.

This deeply personal work serves as a tribute to Paula’s life, and with support from Connect Women’s Centres of Nova Scotia, aims to raise awareness about the systemic issues surrounding gender-based violence and the need for meaningful reforms. The book, a raw and heartfelt account, draws from Lynn’s experience navigating through profound grief, and transforming it, into a call to action.

The narrative celebrates Paula’s legacy of love, resilience, and appreciation for life, while also addressing the ongoing impact of her tragic loss. It offers comfort and insight to other victims and families facing similar circumstances, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.

The author is committed to using Paula’s legacy as a platform to drive education and policy changes that will help make communities safer. Gender based Violence is everyone’s issue. The lessons Lynn has learned through her journey drove much needed change, but even after twenty years, there is more work to do at all levels of government and non-government organizations.  We need better and faster change to support victims and survivors,  their families, front line workers and organizations that work to end the endemic levels of gender-based violence in society.

“This book isn’t just about sharing Paula’s story; it’s about challenging the system status quo and preventing other families from experiencing the same devastating loss,” said Lynn Gallant Blackburn.

A percentage of the proceeds from the book will go to charities that support women who have experienced violence.

About Connect Women’s Centres of Nova Scotia:

My book is not just about training your dog; it’s about training your soul.”

  • Ways to transform personal growth into a stronger bond with their dogs.

BOOK: CHASING SHADOWS by Lauren GouinImage caption: “Chasing Shadows” by author Lauren Gouin.

“Chasing Shadows” presents the story of a woman navigating life on autopilot. When the stability she once knew is shattered by an unclear diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic, she is forced to embark on an inward journey, exploring the uncharted territories of her mind and heart. On each vulnerable page, she grapples with the question of who she truly is and what she most desires.

Through Lauren’s evocative verses, “Chasing Shadows” delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience. Her poetry doesn’t just tell a story – it evokes a feeling, a memory, a shared experience that makes you feel seen and understood. Whether she’s writing about love, heartbreak, trauma, or healing, her words carry a weight that is both personal and universal.

With its clear language and lack of capitalization, Lauren’s minimalist style strips away the unnecessary. This simplicity is powerful, allowing the emotions behind the words to shine through without distraction. Her poetry delivers powerful messages of heartache and healing in their most distilled form.

Journey through love, loss, and healing, and purchase your copy of “Chasing Shadows” today.

About the Author:

After achieving a bachelor’s degree in history from Queen’s University, Lauren Gouin spent her twenties travelling and living in various countries, on various continents. She lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for one year and then moved to London, England for three to work in digital marketing.

At the age of 27, her life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious, acute illness forced her to move home. Left with an unclear diagnosis, half a year’s recovery, and total uncertainty, she re-evaluated her life’s direction. The road to a more creative career path became a source of healing as she enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s screenwriting program, a space to explore her love for the vibrational capacity of story. Her journey as a poet was born shortly after her graduation.

She is now a writer/director for TV and film, a script editor, and a story consultant, but really, she is an artist of all sorts with a constant desire to put ideas on a page. Communication is her love language and these are her letters to those out there who, like her, feel drawn to the rhythmic beauty of words.

“Chasing Shadows” is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $8.60) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Author Brian D. McLean Releases New Book ‘Our Global Crisis,’ a Timely Examination of Climate Change and Societal Collapse

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Oct. 29, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Brian D. McLean, a passionate conservationist and environmentalist, announced the release of his book, “Our Global Crisis” (ISBN: 978-0993607226; Tellwell), an urgent and insightful exploration of the environmental challenges facing humanity today.

Our Global Crisis by Author Brian D. McLean
Image caption: “Our Global Crisis” by Author Brian D. McLean.

As global temperatures rise, natural disasters intensify, and ecosystems degrade, McLean draws comparisons between modern society and the collapse of past civilizations such as the Incas, the Mayans, and the Rapanui of Easter Island. He warns that, without immediate action, we may be headed toward a similar fate.

“Our Global Crisis” takes readers on a journey through the environmental and societal patterns that have led to the downfall of great civilizations. It explores how climate change, rampant consumerism, and humanity’s ongoing exploitation of the planet are pushing us closer to a tipping point.

“Our thirst for consumer goods and other conveniences of life has grown at an alarming and disproportionate rate compared with our needs. This has put an enormous strain on our ability to locate and extract the natural resources of our planet,” writes McLean. He challenges readers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and offers practical solutions for adapting to the realities of climate change.

“The time for action is now,” McLean states. “Humanity’s ongoing exploitation of Earth has created problems that can no longer be ignored. If Earth and Life are to survive, each of us will need to make sacrifices. It is time to adapt. It is time for us to evolve.”

With 22 years of meticulous research, “Our Global Crisis” not only examines the factors contributing to environmental destruction but also presents a clear path toward sustainability. The final chapter provides actionable steps to avert catastrophe, from rethinking energy consumption to fostering a global commitment to conservation.

About the Author:

Brian D. McLean is a former Medical Laboratory Technologist and Information Systems Specialist who turned his passion for the outdoors into a new career focused on environmental conservation. Over the past two decades, he has worked to restore riparian and temperate forest ecosystems affected by clearcut forestry practices. A keen observer of human nature and a devoted environmentalist, McLean has spent the last 22 years compiling and crafting “Our Global Crisis”. When he isn’t working on environmental restoration, McLean enjoys stargazing and astrophotography.

New Biography ‘The Power of His Bread’ Chronicles Fadi Arnout’s Extraordinary Life and Prophetic Dreams

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 22, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Deeply spiritual entrepreneur Fadi Arnout is the focus of an intriguing new biography by author E. A. Peters, titled “The Power Of His Bread: True Life Story Of Fadi Arnaout” (ISBN: 978-0228888246; released August, 2024 through Tellwell Publishing). This captivating narrative explores Arnout’s remarkable journey, detailing his struggles and successes in America, all through the lens of his prophetic dreams that have shaped his life and continue to guide his future.

The Power Of His Bread: True Life Story Of Fadi Arnaout
Image caption: Cover, “The Power Of His Bread.”

“The Power of His Bread” is an inspiring biography that delves into the life of Fadi Arnout, whose dreams have provided foresight and guidance throughout his life. E. A. Peters recounts the extraordinary story of how Arnout, in 1996, dreamt of meeting a two-year-old girl who would later become a pivotal part of his life. Two decades later, this very individual walked into his restaurant, and Arnout, recognizing her from his dream, hired her without revealing his prior knowledge. This young woman, an English major taking a break from her studies, eventually wrote his life story, fulfilling the prophecy he had envisioned.

Arnout’s life is a testament to the power of faith and perseverance. His biography captures the essence of a man who has always believed in the prophetic power of his dreams. “The Power of His Bread” includes:

  • The early dreams that predicted significant events in Arnout’s life.
  • His journey as an immigrant in America and the challenges he faced.
  • The prophetic visions that have come true and those he believes are yet to unfold. The unique relationship with the young woman who ultimately penned his biography.

E. A. Peters masterfully captures the intersection of reality and prophecy, providing readers with a profound look at Arnout’s life. This biography is a compelling narrative of resilience, faith, and the incredible journey of a man whose dreams have been his guiding light.

Arnout himself reflects on his life and the significance of this book: “I have seen the book in my second dream in 1996, written, sold, and made a movie after I die… I didn’t believe that I would write a book …until I saw so many events happen exactly like I saw in that vivid dream of 1996. It became clear for me that I have to write my book after I saw my third dream with the Lord Jesus Christ. The more people couldn’t believe what I told them about my life the more I was convinced to write a book. I was blown away when E.A. Peters walked into the restaurant asking for the job, I knew that I had seen her face in my dream and she was the one to write it…”

“The Power of His Bread” is now available on Amazon and other online retailers.

Behind Enemy Lines: The True Story of a CIA Operative’s Fight Against Trafficking

MADISON, Wis. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kay Sparling, an international opera and sacred singer, brings a gripping tale of espionage and intrigue with her new spy thriller, "Mission: THAW" (ISBN: 978-1779419071; released Aug. 2024 through Tellwell Publishing). Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, this novel is inspired by true events and follows the daring journey of Kaitlyn Stewart, a high-profile CIA operative, as she navigates a perilous mission to thwart a human trafficking cartel and prevent a global catastrophe.

Near the end of the Cold War, Kaitlyn Stewart lands an apprenticeship at the Vienna State Opera. Soon after her arrival, she is recruited by the CIA, becoming the only female high-profile operative in Mission: THAW. Both the CIA and MI6 are racing against time to uncover a human trafficking cartel orchestrated by fascist Western politicians in collaboration with the East Germans and the KGB. These groups are exploiting refugees from the former satellite countries of the USSR.

Mission: THAW's objective is to infiltrate the cartel, shut down the trafficking network, and dismantle the slave labor in East Germany. Success is critical: if the GDR economy collapses, the Berlin Wall will fall. Kaitlyn, under the guise of an opera singer, penetrates the inner circles of the KGB and neo-Nazis, only to discover a far more sinister plan: blueprints for a dirty bomb.

Guided by MI6 agent Clive Matthews, considered the best secret agent in the free world, Kaitlyn maneuvers through the complexities of this high-stakes mission, facing danger and deception at every turn.

Author Kay Sparling is a retired international opera and sacred singer, now living in the Upper Midwest with her feline writing companion, the invincible Paducah.
