Thanks again for your help — and for supporting Irene’s Book Launch!

Book Launch Invitation for Irene Watson’s "The Sitting Swing"

Hi Everyone!

Something big is happening today, and I knew you wouldn’t want to be left out of the loop. I’ve written a couple posts on www.ExploreExpandEvolve.com about this over the past weekend; and today’s the day.

If you’re like me, you read. And, if you read, you buy books. Imagine buying a book and getting more than 20-Free Bonus Gifts just because you bought the book on a certain day…

When people launch new books, they often have a “virtual launch-party” where several of their friends and colleagues offer to provide incentives for people to buy the book on a specific date. Why? Because it doesn’t take that many book sales to make your book an Amazon Best-Seller – if all the sales are on the same day…

And who doesn’t want to help a book become a best-seller? So, authors and publishers often gather together hundreds of dollars worth of information (E-books, audios, etc…) offered as incentives to encourage you to buy a book at a particular time.

That’s it; that’s how these things work. The whole point of all this effort, and all the Free Gifts, is to concentrate book sales on one particular day – to harness the voice of the readers so they speak in unison at least once – to help a book become a best-seller.

I’ve bought many books this way; and some of the most valuable information I ever received has been some of the Free Bonuses I received for buying a new book on a certain day! And I know at least one of those books became a best-seller that week, too! That’s a win-win-win.
Today, August 19th, my friend, Irene Watson, has gathered together leading authors and experts, to show you new ways to lift your life to breathtaking heights — including transformation, personal growth, and creating an inspiring life.

I’m working with her to make you this offer.  If you purchase her award-winning book: The Sitting Swing: Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference today, you will be on your way to receive the many gifts entitled to you. 
All you have to do is go to http://www.readerviews.com/RV-amazon/index.html and follow the link to purchase your copy of The Sitting Swing: Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference at Amazon.com.  Then enter your Amazon transaction number in the space provided and you will be directed to where you can claim your gifts.

All proceeds from the sale of The Sitting Swing will be donated to Higher Power Foundation, Inc., a foundation created to give financial assistance for people to attend recovery based spiritual and life training events.

So don’t delay, go to http://www.readerviews.com/RV-amazon/index.html and claim your copy of The Sitting Swing today, August 19th.

You certainly don’t have to buy this book now; but if you think it is something you might buy soon, today is a good day to buy it… You will definitely get a lot of bang for your buck!

Thanks in advance for helping Irene and the Higher Power Foundation, Inc.!

Best wishes!

Pete Koerner, author of The Belief Formula

Check-out the Free Bonus Gifts for purchasing The Sitting Swing on Tuesday, August 19!

This evening, I’ll be emailing an invitation to each of our subscribers inviting them to help Irene Watson, author of The Sitting Swing, launch her book — and hopefully even make it a Best-Seller this week! Book launches are fairly common; but this one features 28-Free Bonus Gifts for anyone participating!

The Sitting Swing promises to be a wonderful read — full of personal revelations that we can all relate to. But, whether you are interested in buying The Sitting Swing for yourself, or not, consider buying it as a gift — and keeping the Free Bonuses for yourself (the Bonus Gifts are probably worth over $100.00 no matter how you look at it!).

I read way more books than I buy; but I specifically look for these book launches in order to take advantage of some really great offerings. In fact, some of the most powerful information I have ever received came to me as a Free Gift for ordering a book during one of these book-launches.

In case you’ve never seen one of these book launch offerings, or to help you decide if there’s something interesting here for you, check out this link to see descriptions of the Free Gifts you will receive for purchasing The Sitting Swing on Amazon.com Tuesday, August 19th:

Check out all the FREE gifts and I’m sure you’ll see the value and benefit of waiting and participating in this launch rather than just driving to the bookstore and buying The Sitting Swing today!

REMEMBER: To Receive Your Free Bonus Gifts, Don’t Buy The Sitting Swing until Tuesday, August 19th, 2008!

28-Free Gifts for ordering Irene Watson’s new book, "The Sitting Swing," on its launch date — Tuesday, August 19th, 2008!

Irene Watson’s new book, "The Sitting Swing," is available on Amazon.com; but if you can wait until Tuesday to order it, you will receive 28-Bonus Gifts for participating in the book launch. If you buy books anyway, waiting for book launches is a good way to get a whole bunch of cool and potentially helpful stuff for Free. Here’s some information about Irene’s new book:

Come with me and take that first step…

It’s never to late to change your life, it’s never too late to heal.

the sitting swing

Irene Watson’s pretentious life could go no further until she faced her past.  Her moving and inspiring memoir begins at the end, in a recovery center, where she has gone to understand a childhood fraught with abuse, guilt and uncertainty. Her powerful story is a testament that it’s never too late to change your life, never too late to heal.

The Sitting Swing:Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference (Revised Edition) shows us how guilt, fear and ignorance are borne by our children. Two distinct parts of the book look at an abusive child rearing and the process of recovery that takes place years later. On many levels this is a classic story showing us that change, growth, forgiveness and recovery are possible.

It is also a heartwarming healing story and a testament to the strength and courage of the human spirit.  In the end it gives hope and freedom to those that accept the past and move forward by rewriting life scripts that have been passed down for generations.

 

I’ll be emailing a reminder Tuesday morning to anyone who has received a newsletter from us. Or, you can simply come back here and click the link above to go directly to Amazon.com and purchase The Sitting Swing. I’ll post another reminder and link to Amazon here Tuesday morning along with a list of all the gifts you will receive for purchasing The Sitting Swing on Tuesday the 19th…

*REMEMBER, to receive the free bonus gifts, you must wait until Tuesday, August 19, to order the book on Amazon.com.

Spirituality Simplified: Who are you?

Of the multitude of questions that arise in a person’s life, there is little doubt that the most challenging one to find an answer for is, "Who am I?"  It is likely that throughout all of recorded history, this single question has at one point or another at least crossed the mind of virtually every human being that has ever lived.

While some people do seek an answer to this important question, the reality is that most choose to push it out of their minds, for the simple reason that the act of contemplating upon who they really are actually serves to make life even more complicated than it already is! This tendency on the part of mankind to live ‘unexamined’ lives is what the late Fr. Anthony De Mello was referring to when he said these words:

Spirituality Simplified: Open Mindedness

“In order to move beyond the world we’ve always known and
explore the myriad possibilities that are always available, it’s absolutely
critical that we learn to approach new information with an open
mind. While this certainly isn’t a revolutionary new insight, the
plain and simple fact is that most people have a difficult time when
it comes to being genuinely open-minded.

Spirituality Simplified

As long as we have been aware of ourselves, we have sought to understand our true, spiritual nature. In one way or another, all human endeavors lead back to the basic quest for self-knowledge. Knowledge, it is said, is the only way to end suffering; and all living things would prefer not to suffer. All great philosophies and religions are built, in fact, on the quest for grace and an end to suffering. Ignorance causes misfortune and illness; and wisdom heals.

The spiritual path is not always an easy path to walk. The path is narrow; and there are few who have truly mastered it. But the essence of walking the spiritual path should be simple; it should be accessible to all of us — though we may need a guide, or a series of guides, along the way. Along the path, there are many guides; Jeff Maziarek, author of Spirituality Simplified, is one of those guides. With Spirituality Simplified, Jeff Maziarek has mapped-out the basics of the spiritual journey while leaving a “trail of bread crumbs” for any spiritual seeker to follow, or simply enjoy.

In its 229-pages, Spirituality Simplified features over 80-pages of excerpts from more than 40-different writers, philosophers, teachers, and sages — blending them together in an easy-to-understand foundational work on exploring the spiritual path to self-actualization and ultimate fulfillment. Readers of The Secret will benefit greatly from a much more expansive look into the natural laws by and from which our experience seems to be created. They will also be treated to a greater understanding of how and why it is in our best interest to spend more time thinking positively about thinking.

Spirituality Simplified is one of those books destined for mainstream acceptance due to its comprehensive foundation of information, wisdom, and supporting commentary by dozens of the wisest people to ever ponder the questions nearest and dearest to us all. This book will make an excellent addition to the library of any spiritual seeker, as well as making an excellent primer for anyone seeking to create change in their own life, or seeking their own spiritual path.

Jeff Maziarek is also the creator of www.PonderCentral.com — a free web site dedicated to spreading information, wisdom, and enlightenment from the leading authors in the areas of self-actualization, spirituality, and personal development. Ponder Central.com is a non-profit site which has continuously provided daily doses of inspiration for over nine-years. Go to Ponder Central and sign-up for the FREE inspirational e-mails.

It’s a Different Book…

A number of people have asked me if The Belief Formula book that has just been released is the same as the e-book.  The Belief Formula, available on Amazon.com, and most other online retailers and brick-and-mortar bookstores, is a different book than the e-book version released last year.  The print version has a number of revisions and editorial changes, as well as an additional 20,000 words.  The Belief Formula print version also has helpful informational boxes and bulleted key points at the end of each chapter; these were not in the e-book version.  The published version also contains at least one additional appendix with some useful information about affirmations.

The Belief Formula e-book had been read in over 20-countries before it was taken offline for the release of the print version — which has been read in at least a half-dozen countries since its release in November of 2007.  The print version of The Belief Formula is a much more readable, helpful, and usable book than the e-book.  It’s just a different book.

Enlightening Fiction

For those seeking a "lighter" kind of enlightenment, here are a few uplifting and enlightening works of fiction we have read:

This is just a quick list off the top of my head…

*Please send us any other suggestions you might have — via email, or comment…

Enlightening Non-Fiction

The following is a list of various books — old and new — that we have found both informative and empowering.  Of course, this list is not exhaustive or comprehensive; it is simply a list of some of the books we have found that helped us along our way — and helped us see a bigger picture in which everyone has a place (as contrasted by the typical picture where a small group is "right," and everyone else is "wrong").  Please feel free to add to this list via email or comment…

If you read one of the books on this list, you’ll be changed.  If you read them all, the sky won’t even be a limit for you anymore!

 

There are obviously many valuable works that I either haven’t read, I didn’t enjoy or remember, or that simply didn’t come to mind yet; and I couldn’t possibly list all the books we’ve read, so I started with some of the more timely, relevant, or practical works I could think of.  The ancient texts are filled with great wisdom; but the average, modern mind can’t make full use of those works because of differences in time, social setting and climate, cultural changes, language changes and translations, and the common acceptance of metaphors that made sense in their own time, but have been taken in modern times as literal accounts, or translated into teachings that don’t bear the fruit they once did, etc…
