The Caduceus By Dennis Edwards PhD Plain View Press (2006) Review by William Phenn for Reader Views (3/06)

“The Caduceus”, an amazing book by an amazing Author. Dennis Edwards received his education at the University of Illinois. He has held positions as a College Administrator, Counselor and Teacher. He is also a Poet, Cartoonist, Writer and the Great Grandson of John Gray, one of the most prestigious Welsh poets in America. With all he has going on, it is no wonder Dennis and his wife would choose to live in the beauty and tranquility of the Ozark Mountains.

“The Caduceus” is Indiana Jones and James Bond wrapped in a nice package of 130 pages. Conspiracy, drama, the paranormal and a little romance for good measure. The main character (Dr. Francis Allenton) is a shy and nerdy gent that

Blue’s Clues for Success: The 8 Secrets Behind A Phenomenal Business by Diane Tracy

In a previous book review, I warned readers not to judge a book by its cover. I feel compelled to once again issue that warning.

When you first spot this bold blue cover, you see the name of a popular children’s cable TV show accompanied by the blank stare of an animated puppy who appears to be in search of the nearest fire hydrant. That’s two good reasons for me to question the position of this particular book in the business section of my favorite book store and to keep browsing for something of more substance. However, I strive to walk my talk, when possible, so I delved a little deeper. In addition, I must admit that I did recognize both the name and the animation as a result of long conversations with my eight grandchildren. I must

Make No Excuse For Yourself

November 22nd, 2011

Take on board any, single, one of the following statements that I’ve extracted from Chapter 2 in “Advanced Formula for Total Success” by Dr. Robert Anthony and “live in” the conscious awareness and belief of that statement, then be assured that…yourselves, your lives, your actions and the results that you produce will be forever transformed.

So here they are:

“We need to be aware that … no amount of willpower, effort, determination or commitment will cause us to be any other way … we’re always going to act the way we see ourselves” [p.17]

“It’s not an ego trip to affirm your own perfection. It’s an ego trip not to affirm your own perfection” [p.19]

“Even though you may have built your personality through imitation, you’re not a fraud. No one else has ever put together the exact same combination that you have” [p.20]

“You must be able to stand before the entire world and

Mary Magdalene Reveals Her Story

Interview with Lona Lyons, author of “The Magdalene Dispensation.”

Reader Views is pleased to have with us Lona Lyons, author of “The Magdalene Dispensation.” Welcome Lona.

Irene: What inspired you to write “The Magdalene Dispensation”?

Lona: The characters and part of the story had been coming to me over a period of six years before I sat down and wrote what was to become the real first draft. I knew I wanted to write a book about the power of women and the force they become when they transcend their feelings of unworthiness and consequent tendency towards competition. I wanted to display the rich gifts of women and their embodiment of the Sacred Feminine that have been devalued for thousands of years. But even I was surprised how the story unfolded, as I’m sure most writers are when they sit down and let the pen have its way with them. The

Book Review for Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

by E-NewsCast Team
November 20th, 2011

Coming on strong after the success of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond’s new book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed is a tome of intriguing insight to the other side of the coin. While Guns, Germs and Steel examined how some societies thrived, due to their respective geographic and environmental endowments, this book examines why ancient societies have collapsed so often in the past, in part for the same reasons. To support this thesis, the book delves into a variety of past civilizations, including the Anasazi of the American Southwest, the Maya and the Viking colonies of Greenland to illustrate that collapse of a society is no respecter of geography. Nor is it a respecter of time. Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed also looks at modern-day societies such as Rwanda to explain the catastrophe that recently befell this
