<h2></h2>
<h2>Ken Ungerecht  is the author of<strong> God Theories</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mr. Ungerecht  has written a very interesting and controversial book about God and the universe.</p>
<p>His aim in writing the book is to bring a greater degree of logic and reason into our search for spiritual understanding.</p>
<p>To do that, he brings up interesting points and in the interview we discuss:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em> The marriage of faith, science, reason and religion.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Mutually exclusive beliefs from different religions, e.g. reincarnation.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>The absurdity of thinking that we were born into this world by chance.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Bringing religion into the classroom  to discuss intelligent design and evolution.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>The absurdity of being born at all!</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ken  challenges prevailing atheistic beliefs on how we came about in this world. He believes that it’s absurd to think that we came to this world by chance.  In the book and interview Ken shows us the numerical value of the likelihood of being born.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Life is an incredible gift from a God/Goddess  and our fundamental purpose is to learn to accept it and make it fun,&#8221; says Ken.</p></blockquote>
<p>From Ken&#8217;s Website:</p>
<blockquote><p>The question as to whether there is a supreme intelligence that has influence in the universe and the world is one that has intrigued, confounded, and plagued the minds of men as long as there have been minds of men. The answer to this question, whichever it is, is one that has profound implications and is definitely one worth pursuing. But the very pursuit is something that has engendered a tremendous amount of discord in the world. In this book, which is deliberately short and short on detail, the author aims to stimulate a perhaps somewhat different approach to this very important question. This book is intended to be efficient, readable, and informative; the hope is that it might encourage you to further investigation and communication with regards to the areas of discussion within.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ken&#8217;s book is available both on paperback and Kindle on Amazon.</p>

<p>Are you the kind of person who fights change or embraces it?</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Do you want to transform your life?</span></h2>
<p>There’s an old expression that goes: ‘Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.’ For many folks, that is an expression that holds true for many parts of their lives. Many of us do the same, familiar but unsatisfying things instead of taking a risk and thrusting ourselves into an unfamiliar but promising situation. But what if you found out that you could have the wealth, health and abundance that you’ve been searching for?</p>
<p>What if you discovered that you had all the love and support you needed to achieve all your goals right in front of you?  In her book, “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Keys-Special-Delivery-Message-ebook/dp/B003ZSILKU%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJMGCHKRYG2CDHVIQ%26tag%3Dtbtv0d1-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB003ZSILKU">8 Keys &#8211; A Special Delivery Message From The Angels</a>,” Angel Therapy Practitioner Linda West tells us, “Help is here!”</p>
<p>and here is the author interview!<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zEPPMf5uK8U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zEPPMf5uK8U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>By sharing her own life struggles, Linda’s 8 Keys is  more than just a book, it is a manual to live by. She helps every reader find the answers to the questions that determine the trajectory of our lives: Who am I? Why am I here? More than that, she shows us specific ways on how we can find balance in our lives by taking small steps that can lead us to creating the change we want in our lives.</p>
<p>When it comes to changing our lives, the first step can seem like the most daunting and the most difficult one to make. But through this book, Linda shows us there is nothing to be afraid of. Whether we realize it or not, we have likely had an angelic encounter in our lives! In each one of us is that  small voice in our hearts that guides us through every situation we encounter. That is the guiding voice of your angel trying to send you messages. We all have a personal angel watching over us and while there are times when we listen to their voice, there are others when we don’t. Linda tells us that our angels want us to succeed and want to help us achieve our goals. Through our angels, we have all the help and love and guidance we need, but we need to learn how to listen to them.</p>
<p>Indeed, this book is a blueprint for anyone who is looking for a way to transform their life. Linda invites every reader to learn how to open yourself up to the energies that can help you become enlightened.  As you go through this book, you will learn to discern the sound of the voices of the angels and discover what it is that God wants you to learn about yourself and your faith.  You will learn how to attract positivity and remove negativity and even help you resolve life-long conflicts that have plagued your life. Aside from that, 8 Keys also provides you with the tools that will allow you to embrace your life more fully and achieve the fullness of who you are meant to be. In studying these 8 Keys, you will also learn how to avoid the obstacles that could prevent you from reaping the benefits of a closer connection with God and the angels.</p>
<p>Linda’s own personal experiences serve as a powerful testimonial of finding light in the midst of overwhelming darkness. She demonstrates how using these 8 keys helped her detach from the things that hold you back and to trust that your angels will lead the way to the right choices.</p>
<p>In this book, Linda West invites you to discover the 8 Keys that have the power to transform your life!</p>
<ul>
<li>Believe</li>
<li>Trust</li>
<li>Detachment</li>
<li>Love</li>
<li>Humility</li>
<li>Forgiveness</li>
<li>Gratitude</li>
<li>Connection</li>
</ul>
<p>This book is one that you can continuously refer to at different times of your lives&#8211;and particularly during the difficult situations. This book will surely help you in realizing the coincidences that happen in our lives, listen to the messages of the angels to us and push ourselves towards becoming the best versions of ourselves and achieving our goals in life.</p>

Back  then, there was Dracula and later on, it was Lestat. These days,  however, it’s Edward Cullen and the brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore  that hold our attention. Although the idea of death, darkness and blood  thirst scare us, there’s a sense of curiosity about them that we just  can’t shake.</p>
<p>Writer  and photographer Alina Oswald specializes in tackling dark and often  taboo topics that capture human interest and imagination. In this book,  she turns her attention to exploring the myths and beliefs surrounding  the  mysterious creatures we call vampires. From their thirst for blood,  their amazing speed and possible capacity for human feelings, Alina  pieces her own visual interpretations of them. Using vampires as an art  subject, every photo reveals her attempts at discovering what it is that  intrigues us about them.</p>

Whether the main concern is start up, growth or turning the business around, she has successfully helped over 100 global clients create optimized solutions they needed to put their companies on track to sustainable growth.

Written in clear prose and wit, she provides real life examples of companies like Nu Skin, JetBlue, Netflix and Southwest Airlines to show what can work and what can go wrong in different situations. While every organization is unique, these examples demonstrate how herd thinking and conventional practices can ruin organizations. By the end of the chapter, she also points out the “anti-gravity”, the change that needs to be factored into push a company forward.</p>
<p>Instead of being filled with fluff and rhetoric, Defy Gravity is a book that has actionable steps and processes that will help any business owner or budding entrepreneur to think in different and more innovative ways to structure your business.

In the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Reason-Lessons-Gifted-Child/dp/1440123977%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJMGCHKRYG2CDHVIQ%26tag%3Dtbtv0d1-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1440123977">Beyond Reason: Lessons from the Loss of a Gifted Child</a>, Dr. Gregg Korbon shares the lessons he learned in  the process of coming to terms with the heartbreaking and unexpected  death of his nine-year-old son Brian.</p>
<p>A  healthy boy, Brian told his parents that he would die before he would  reach the “double digits”. Six months later, Brian scored his first run  in a Little League game and collapsed. Later, his parents realized that  was what he trying to tell them all along. It was as if Brian knew  something no one else did and prepared for it by celebrating his  birthday, giving gifts to friends and leaving a note to his family that  said, “I’m on a trip, don’t worry about me.”<br />

<p>Gregg,  a doctor, considered himself a rational man. In an interview with NPR  Public Radio, he relates how he couldn’t even conceive of the  possibility that his son knew of his own death saying, “&#8230;it wasn’t in  my belief system that something like that could happen.” This engaging  and poignant account delves into the experiences of precognition and  premonitions of death experienced by many parents who have lost young  children. His feelings of grief and emptiness gave way to wonder and  hope as he found healing by sharing Brian’s story with others.</p>
<p>Beyond  Reason courageously talks about discovering a world beyond reason&#8211;a  world that stretches the mind and and explores the interconnectedness of  the heart, mind and the spirit. The book looks into the spiritual  dimension of life and death and inspires readers to see that no matter  how difficult it is, there is indeed wisdom that can be gained from  chaos, grief and loss. Written in an intimate narrative style, readers  will appreciate the imagery and depth of Gregg’s journey to acceptance.  It is a book that will most certainly be a source of inspiration for  anyone struggling with the loss of a loved one. While Beyond Reason  highlights how brave Brian was in the face of death at such a young age,  it also reveals much about Gregg’s inspiring efforts to get past his  own grief and help others by sharing Brian’s story. Gregg has since  started a website to support the healing process of parents who have  gone through the same experience.</p>
