An impassioned condemnation of anti-gay religious extremism enveloped in a call to spiritual discernment, The Pharisees Amongst Us identifies the religious leaders and collaborators in the campaign against homosexuals and homosexuality as equivalents of Pharisees, religious rigorists who demanded adherence to spiritually-empty laws, antagonists of the Christ, to whom Christ routinely referred as hypocrites. Citing numerous examples of what he refers to as biblical contortionism and behavior that starkly contrasts Christ's teachings by the likes of Jerry Falwell, Dr. Laura, James Dobson and Lou Sheldon, author, Rod Brannum-Harris charges the anti-gay campaign is rooted in ignorance of the divinity and spiritual oneness of all creation, God's unbounded, creative genius and God's all-encompassing, unconditional love.

Bumbling to Zion is set in the years 1966 and 1967, probably two of the most turbulent years of the Vietnam War era. Matt McCoy, the main character, is fresh out of high school and needs to enroll in an institute of higher learning (any institute) in order to receive a student deferment from the draft. Because of his bad high school grades, Matt is only accepted at Pure White Light Bible College in Flinthill, Tennessee. The pro-war beliefs at the ultra conservative college and Matt's anti-war beliefs are regularly in conflict. Matt, however, ends up falling in love with one of the college's fundamentalist students and befriending the preacher of the Sink Mountain Signs' Following Church of the Prince of Peace, whose congregation follows the signs mentioned in Mark 16: signs like speaking in tongues, drinking deadly things, and taking up serpents. To his surprise, Matt discovers that the beliefs of the signs' followers, and his own anti-war, anti-government beliefs aren't that much different. During the summer of 1967 (the "Summer of Love") Matt goes to Haight-Ashbury, where he gets involved in the whole hippie scene. A disillusioned Matt McCoy, however, escapes from Haight- Ashbury and returns to his native east Tennessee, where, he realizes, he belonged all along.

Some interviewers are calling the slim hardback a 'tell-all, ' but to Troi Martin, it's just the facts. And while Martin encourages people to have plastic surgery, her book is loaded with cautionary tales, out-of-control egos and anecdotes that, while humorous, might make a person interested in pursuing plastic surgery think twice. The book itself doesn't talk about procedures specifically; rather it focuses on the characteristics of the professionals who work in the field. It's easy to understand how plastic surgeons fall prey to greed, she said. In this day and age where movie-star good looks and youth are glorified, people line up for a nip and a tuck. The ever-increasing demand for their services allows successful surgeons to make enormous amounts of money, and there is a temptation to sacrifice a patient's well-being in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Martin said it is common for surgeons to perform up to eight procedures in a day, with patients toward the end of the day unaware of the doctors' caseload. As a result, doctors may be hurried and tired. This over-scheduling can contribute to a doctor being rougher with patients or even more prone to make mistakes as he tires.

Time was... ahhh yes... there once was a time solong ago when you came up out of Tupelo on Old Tremont Road, the road cut deep into the rolling hills of Itawamba Ridge laying bare slopes of iron red clay that had lain still and quiet for millions of years where the fine long leaf pines reached up high for the sun... tall and lean... shimmering in the warm Spring sun... the fresh new pines needles sprouting out yellow green and not hard green like the like the needles that had borne the hard cold of Winter...

When most people think of taking a journey it means visiting another state or taking a cruise. "What is Truth?" is about a journey, too. But this isn't a journey that takes you on a tour of a rain forest or underground cave. No, this is a journey in search of the truth! In the pages of this book you will see the results of a trek long past due, yet also right on time. What you've been taught since childhood will be challenged as you read about what is known, as well as, that which has been hiding in plain sight for centuries. A crossroad of decision will be confronted as you find yourself faced with the revelation that what you've always thought to be true is a lie and what was thought to be a lie is true! Truth is brought forth as being black or white with no gray areas or middle ground. So, if you're not afraid of the truth I invite you to begin your journey - you may be surprised at what you find!

We live in a world divided by ideological differences, political positions, and firmly held religious beliefs. These differences often spill over into racial and ethnic suspicion and hatred. We live in a world many believe is becoming more divided every day. Confession is Good for More than the Soul, offers a solution in this divisive world. With the help of a 220-page workbook, it teaches how to uncover and let go the clutter collected in our psyches during our powerless lives as children, through our fragile teenage years and into our frequently self-righteous adulthood. It assists us in examining the formation of our belief systems, challenging those often outmoded thoughts, and finally assists us in making new, more life-affirming choices. If we do this work, we will be able to separate the inherent nature of who we are, on the inside, from our beliefs and behavior on the outside. With the book, people can investigate their beliefs in a number of critical areas and clear the accumulated clutter around them. These areas include God and spirituality, how we communicate with one another, sex and gender issues, human rights, war and peace, our bodies' health and wellness, the perceived injustices of the institutions in our lives, our stewardship of the environment, family issues and the debris left from growing up in our culture. Unburdened by the past, which colors our choices in the present, readers of Confession is Good for More than the Soul are free to choose new lives, new relationships and new positions in the world, and those willing to follow through will become able to maintain a clutter-free life. The author, Leslie Reynolds-Benns has a PhD in Counseling and a Masters Degree in Applied Theology and is committed to having a world that works for everyone.
