About The Power in Words by Meaghan Axel

Words matter–we can use them to lift others up or break them down.
Do you want your child to discover the powerful impact of their words?
Help your child make mindful choices about the way they speak to others and about themselves with this charming narrative. The Power in Words reminds children that they have the ability to choose their words and actions. Through rhyme and thought-provoking illustrations, readers will explore engaging scenes to help them consider the way broken promises, gossip, and unkind words impact others. Children will be inspired to use their voices to create more beauty, love, and peace in their lives.

“If we all put in effort to be a bit kinder,
our actions will spread and become a reminder,
that our words have the power to make someone’s day.
We can lift others up with the words that we say!”

Confident self-talk will increase your child’s emotional resilience, self-worth, and happiness. Your child’s self-worth will soar as they explore ways their words can spread love and kindness to others. Readers will learn to speak compassionately about themselves and develop confidence with empowering affirmations, or “I am” statements.

Written by an elementary school librarian to support the emotional well-being of young readers, The Power in Words will sit comfortably on your shelf alongside other books like: I am Enough by Grace Byers, Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud, Speak Up by Miranda Paul, and Seeds and Trees by Brandon Walden.

About The Lev Effect By Sheldon Greene

Literary Fiction

Full of warmth, humor, and the celebration of the extraordinary in the ordinary, The Lev Effect appeals to the faithful of all religions and iconoclasts alike.

When the Bolton Jewish Community converts a disused retirement home to a boarding school and hires a Russian refugee to direct it and the retirees as staff, the small town of Bolton, Pennsylvania celebrates the change. But when the director admits a Palestinian boy, schedules Palestine National Day and a fundraiser for a Catholic homeless shelter, the family that endowed the retirement home fifty years earlier sues to regain their trust fund. This action sets in motion a series of events that results in the notion that the school director might be Jesus Christ himself. But is he? The Lev Effect, the sequel to the critically-acclaimed novel Lost and Found, is a modern-day imagining of the second coming of Christ to a small Jewish community.

Author Bio:
Of Sheldon Greene’s six novels, five draw strongly upon his experience with and knowledge of the Jewish faith. Ranging from fact-based history to flights of imagination, he uses his novels to explore such subjects as Jews in the American Revolution, Jewish influence on pre-Colombian culture, the Israeli War of Independence, and the impact of the Holocaust on creativity. Greene was appointed Warden of Insurance of the State of Ohio at age 23. A public interest lawyer, he pursued seminal issues— such as the United States’ flawed health delivery system, the impact of illegal immigration on the economy, renewable energy, and public land policies— decades before they achieved national attention. He was a participant in the first Obama national policy team for both immigration and energy. He was one of the founders of the New Israel Fund and helped formulate its unique structure, drawing on his experience as General Counsel of California Rural Legal Assistance. He is an executive in a wind energy development company and has been actively engaged in renewable energy for over 25 years. He advocates the formulation of a God concept derived from the life process, stripped of anachronistic anthropomorphic characteristics. He has developed personal guidelines for a balanced, seamless life with spiritual, intellectual, social, and creative dimensions.

About The Chicken And The Quail

FROM A REVIEW ON AMAZON U.K. :

This book starts off innocuously and races off at breakneck speed. I finished this book in two sittings. Its good to note that this is a sci-fi thriller so that your expectations are set when reading.
The story is about Yogesh Shukla’s death and subsequent sightings confirming him to be still alive. The police get involved and the chase is on. The author leads us through various twists and turns to the startling climax.

The author has a vast knowledge of various fields and has used them very effectively throughout the story. The author guides us through immigration checks, police procedures, neurology, migration history of ethnic groups, etc.

This book breaks the border of moral and legal issues, and their ramifications in light of our scientific progress. I can easily envisage this being made in a movie.

Bottomline: Read this book for its fast paced entertainment… and be prepared to be overwhelmed by the ending. My mind is still wobbling.

About S: A CONTEMPORARY RELIGIOUS FANTASY

“PLEASED TO MEET YOU. HOPE YOU GUESS MY NAME.”

Largely unrecognized, even at the highest echelons of the most influential spheres of the world’s systems, Satariel Grigori has amassed unto himself power and influence the world over, which has alienated him from his father’s house. Called simply “S” by those who know him best, he has been content to remain largely anonymous.

Until now. His hunger for supremacy has left him hollow, replaced by feelings of remorse and he now wishes to return home to the father he betrayed. But to do it, he will need an advocate. And he believes he has found one in Thomas Abernathy, an unconventional Midwest minister…something S never imagined would ever be the case.

Trying desperately to avoid the scrutiny of his power-hungry brothers, he pursues redemption at great risk—not just to his own existence but to that of the very man who may make possible the seemingly impossible: saving his very soul…if S even has one.

Prepare to think outside the box and have your thinking challenged when you read S: A Contemporary Religious Fantasy, an entertaining tale which dares to pose the question: “What is the extent of God’s grace?”

Wow! What a Year! I, too, had an excruciating year to begin with, including COVID taking my storyteller’s (narrator) soul to heaven. When the darkness rolled in, through thick and thin, an amazing community was there for me with helping hands. Just as an example, we cracked the code of BIG Publishing houses and achieved something even crème de la crème writers could dream about. Within a few months, thousands read the Gods Must Be Crazy in over a dozen countries, offering over 50 rave reviews (Amazon + GoodReads), and even achieved the #1 bestseller rank in many Amazon categories! Above all, I donate the royalty from this book for a greater purpose to Mother Teresa Mission (Missionaries of Charity).

A Brief History of My Nomadic Re-incarnations

“To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
– Sun Tzu’s The Art of War (476–221 BC)
I was born and raised in God’s Own Country, Kerala, a tropical paradise in India. In Kerala, we are followers of St. Thomas, the Apostle, educated by Christian missionaries brought by colonizers from Portugal, France, and Britain. 100% literacy and high educational standards in Kerala have led to many progressive movements, including Communism. Kerala has many unique records, such as a model COVID-19 recovery rate being higher than most Western countries. The first place where communists became democratically elected to power in world history, ruled as such since 1957. The resulting industrial desert brought on by Communism forced me to pack up my bags after obtaining my Industrial Engineering degree (with specialization in Total Quality Management) and seek a job in Bombay (the commercial capital of India).

I soon realized my prospects beyond the factory floor became limited by my dark skin (as a lungi-wearing Kala Madrasi). Fearing for my future, I fled to the South to escape the racist professional ladder. I obtained my MBA in finance as a candidate for national integration. Providentially for me, in 1990, the entire Indian economy collapsed under the weight of the half-a-century-old mighty Indian License Raj. The result was a liberalized Indian economy. The timing was impeccable, as it provided me the opportunity to start my career as an Investment Banking Analyst. Fortune smiled upon me again when the 1996 stock market crash in India allowed me to come out of my investment banking career.

India took the socialist route and, during the conflict of the 1970s with Pakistan, which declared emergency rule. Due to the Pakistan war and other non-alignments, the US and India’s relationship soured, and IBM abandoned India. Hail to the vacuum (to be filled), TCS and the other Indian IT conglomerates were born out of desperation. They coded us in IT to kickstart the legacy computers and mainframes left behind by IBM. Thanks to the biggest blunder in business history (Y2K), IBM and the other western enterprises saw us (‘Cyber Coolies’) as the thrifty solution to fix the doomsday Armageddon code.

During this time, I managed to migrate from corporate finance to ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions and snatched my passport to the epitome of capitalism, the USA. Nevertheless, in 2000, the (Netherlands-based) BaaN Brothers got involved in the Dutch scandal, and the #3 ERP (BaaN) system I was riding became a dead horse.

Since then, I have spent over a decade volunteering for PMI. I have etched my name on PMI’s key standards (including PMBOK, OPM3, PP&PM, etc.), thanks to my PMI papers, publications, and books (especially Project Portfolio Management Standard). I even served in Gartner’s PPM board room panel and later became one of the three PM Methodology SME at E&Y. In 2008, amid the economic tsunami, I served as an advisor to CFO’s office, setting up the Project Portfolio Management Office for a Fortune 10 World’s Most Admired Company. I saved them around a half a billion dollars, but I became the victim of my short-term financial engineering. I managed to capitalize on the 90s legacy Hyperion Enterprise and moved on to the fancy world of a CFO’s suites of products for more prominent Financial Engineering in the BIG4 consulting world.

In 2009, I packed my bags for the Cambodian Jungles in search of answers from the bottom of the pyramid through Chinese GIFT (Global Institute for Tomorrow) – a Clinton Global Young executive Leadership Program (YLP). The more I examined the finance world in the West, the more disillusioned I became. I lost faith in the rollercoasters of flash markets. 90% of today’s stock market without long-term fundamental values is chasing stock buybacks, the Tweets, QE , the hot dollars, and high-frequency algorithmic flash gambles by BOTs. Hail to Hernando de Soto, I was born again to The Mystery of Capital Gospel. Since 9/11, I have won a few dollars betting against the conventional Western market wisdom by gambling in Petro China and Total .

After returning from the wilderness of the Cambodian killing fields , I reincarnated my career yet again, becoming an EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) consultant out of the 2008 Economic Tsunami in the BIG4 world. I made 95% of my net worth between 2008 to 2011 by betting against conventional wisdom. When the whole world deleveraged, I leveraged to the extreme in some of the most iconic real estate in the world which was on Fire-Sale. I do have a fair share of blood on my hands with mindless EPM Financial Engineering through fancy jargon (aka Cost Cutting) such as Tax Effective Supply Chain Management (TESCM), Business/Finance/IT Transformation, BPR, Six Sigma and Pricing and Profitability strategy.

To greenwash my guilt, I had the fantastic honor of volunteering for the most extensive Professional Not-for-Profit for over a decade (PMI [Project Management Institute]), which serves ~3 million professionals, including over 500,000 members in 208 countries around the world. I have contributed to about half a dozen books and ~50 publications/presentations. I started to become involved in several Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) Awards at Ernst & Young.

Sadly, after over two decades, it looks like I need to ride back through that Mad Max fury redemption road and climb through the apocalypse rubble of Roosevelt’s capitalist nostalgic era.

About Battles For a Barren Island

Beginning with the Umbrella Movement in 2014, a long series of student-led protests have rocked the territory. Some of the demonstrations have been held specifically in protest against laws giving more power to China’s central government in the ostensibly autonomous region. Beijing’s Chinese Communist Party has responded by forcing through more of the same, with some of the legislation aimed at preventing further protest.

A generational change is under way in the territory. On the one hand, there is the established authority of the pro-Beijing government, which knows it has no other choice but to follow Beijing’s dictates. On the other is a young population, educated to accept democratic principles, which overwhelmingly supports the student demonstrators in their calls for transparent elections with no interference from China in the election of the territory’s leader, the chief executive. Their rise into positions of power and influence across the territory is inevitable, and only a matter of time.

But Hong Kong’s Chinese Communist Party-approved leadership is obliged to do its best to run the territory in accordance with Beijing’s wishes. And there is nothing the communist leadership in central government fears more than calls for multi-party democracy. It, in turn, is obliged to suppress any opposition to the one-party state within the territory, for fear that such sentiment will spread inland.

This essay, which was originally written only a few years after the handover of sovereignty, looks at Sino-British relations, with particular reference to Hong Kong, and goes some way to explaining present-day circumstances, and why, in the words of Xu Jiatun, the head of the New China News Agency at the time of the Tiananmen Massacre, the “democratisation of Hong Kong is an irresistible tide”.

At under 30,000 words, this piece of writing is not intended as a substitute for a serious course of study for anybody who desires an in-depth knowledge of either the history of Hong Kong, or the history of Britain’s colonial possessions. However, it may whet the appetite of those who have aspirations to learn more about these subjects. I also feel that the facts and observations presented here may serve as food for food for both those who know little of the history of Hong Kong, and those who have made it the principal focus of their studies. For this reason, I have priced this e-book at the lowest price Amazon will allow.
