Review: Just Buy Her a Dress and She’ll Be Fine by Amanda Dodson Gremillion

Just Buy Her a Dress and She’ll Be Fine by Amanda Dodson Gremillion

The emotionally charged yet sensible treatise, Just Buy Her a Dress and She’ll Be Fine by Amanda Dodson Gremillion, is the moving story of postpartum depression and OCD as it played out in the author’s own life, and how that became a medium for guiding others.

Gremillion’s mental distress seemed to begin when she had her first child. She and her husband Jay had met in their early teens, courted for ten years, and married – happily, at first. Both wanted a child and when their daughter Aubrie Lynn was born, she was welcomed.

Soon afterwards, the problems set in. […]

A well-traveled medical practitioner and executive has created a manual with global conscience for recognizing, training and electing trustworthy, admirable world leaders in Shaping the Future of Global Leadership: Finding a Peaceful Solution.

He asserts that among all great world religions are overarching principles for how we must live […]

Review: Perfectly Round Ripples (Made by a Jagged Stone) by J. Flaherty

Perfectly Round Ripples (Made by a Jagged Stone) by J. Flaherty

In the first, eponymous selection in the engaging collection, Perfectly Round Ripples, poet Johnny Flaherty recalls throwing three objects into a pond—a golf ball, a jagged stone, and “an old sneaker with laces missing.” They all splashed differently, but then, each one

…made perfectly round ripples

that traveled all the way

to the farthest shores

From this Flaherty suggests that our deeds, whether good or bad, will likewise make equal, round ripples in the cosmic sea – a motif reflecting the serene and emotive nature of these poems. He often returns to water, to the sea, for inspiration, as […]

An economic advisor, Phillip B. Chute, draws on dramatic material from far different aspects of his working life – spirituality, karma, and the supernatural – in The Silver Thread of Life: True Accounts of Spiritual Interventions.

The author’s business career began with a single, simple episode: returning from service in the Army, he saw his family’s tax returns on the kitchen table, drawing him into the world of finance.

The Diamond Soul by George Vasilca

Businessman George Vasilca turns mentor and guides readers through the process of becoming a more upstanding, self-reliant and generous person in the dynamic manual, The Diamond Soul: 5 Stepping Stones to Christlike Character.

Vasilca traces his own search for a balanced, conscientious character to childhood: his mother urged him to be tender and loving, while his father equated Christian principles with strength and will. In contemplating how to combine the two, he creates two potent metaphors. First, based on his hiking adventures, he imagines stepping stones that can be traced out to plan a journey. Second is the image […]
