Holistic nutritionist and highly-regarded blogger Sarah Britton presents a refreshing, straight-forward approach to balancing mind, body, and spirit through a diet made up of whole foods. Sarah Britton's approach to plant-based cuisine is about satisfaction--foods that satiate on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Based on her knowledge of nutrition and her love of cooking, Sarah Britton crafts recipes made from organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. She explains how a diet based on whole foods allows the body to regulate itself, eliminating the need to count calories. My New Roots draws on the enormous appeal of Sarah Britton's blog, which strikes the perfect balance between healthy and delicious food. She is a "whole food lover," a cook who makes simple accessible plant-based meals that are a pleasure to eat and a joy to make. This book takes its cues from the rhythms of the earth, showcasing 100 seasonal recipes. Sarah simmers thinly sliced celery root until it mimics pasta for Butternut Squash Lasagna, and whips up easy raw chocolate to make homemade chocolate-nut butter candy cups. Her recipes are not about sacrifice, deprivation, or labels--they are about enjoying delicious food that's also good for you.

I wanted to show the world that rehabilitation of criminals is a reality and not just a dream. Since most are in prison for property crimes, which stem from living in poverty, it just did not seem smart to lock them up a few years and then kick them out just as poor as they went in. Off The Wall will enable me to hire convicts by buying their art and prose. It will be therapy for some and more money for most. At least they will have a fighting chance. What do they have now? Please note that some of this stuff is gross, weird, unusual, and bizarre. Profanity! This is a combination of humor and expose/opinions. Something for everybody. But not for those who are easily offended or grossed out. Very ingenious stuff, though. A good read! See preview.

The 1970s classic that sparked the homebrewing revolution in Vermont Long before Heady Topper or Hill Farmstead, Vermont was already at the forefront of the American beer revolution. In the 1970s, the big-name brews like Bud and Coors ruled the roost, and homebrewed beer was still as illegal as moonshine. But a small group of Vermonters—people like Tim Matson and Lee Anne Dorr—weren't the kind to let a little thing like the law stop them from enjoying their own brews. They shared their concoctions with friends and family and then went a step farther: publishing the first homebrewer's guide since Prohibition and selling it out of the back of their truck. Now, forty years later, that groundbreaking book is back. Featuring a brand-new introduction, Mountain Brew shows you how to produce homemade malt, grow your own hops, and keep away thirsty neighbors who want to steal your hooch. Through recipes and colorful stories from their day, let these Green Mountain boys (and girls) show you how to make better beer than you'd ever find at the local watering hole.

"We Never Said Good-Bye: Memoirs of a Bombardier from World War II" is the wartime memoir of Jack I. Moore, who flew 36 missions in the Pacific in the final year of World War II. For his service, Moore earned a Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, and five Air Medals. It is a story of triumph and tragedy, and one of the last memoirs from a member of the Greatest Generation. Moore's candid chronicle is an honest look at personal struggles and achievements. It is a story of Purple Hearts, Iwo Jima, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of disease, kamikazes, family, life, fathers and sons, mothers, birth, death, war, loss, faith, atheism, quiet joy, fear, bomb runs and jazz bands, courage, heroism, and even occasional stupidity. From the bitterly cold winter morning when he leaves his Minneapolis home in 1943, to his return at the end of the war, this book celebrates those who served during World War II, while embracing the complex range of emotions and experiences that are unique to a time of war.

The reason I wrote this book was to make available stories that prove it is not too late. I had discernment that I should write short stories and mix various topics with both humor and eternal consequences. On October 30, 2012, I was on an elevator flirting with several women. I walked off that elevator with an idea: a book about flirting. During the first week of November 2012, I asked Jesus to give me ideas for a book. In 48 hours, the Holy Spirit gave me 130 ideas for a book. Sixty weeks and 950 hours of work later, I have a complete manuscript. The Bible says Im just a filthy rag. Im not a preacher because Im not called and would be unworthy. Im not a teacher because I would have no patience, and Im not a speaker because Im very shy with large groups. Therefore, the printed virgin*. Maybe Im an explainer. I prefer to explain my faults and sins rather than point at others. There is a fine line between being judgmental and attempting to explain the truth. I once was told from an old-fashioned fire and brimstone preacher that he did not judge people, but people judged themselves with their actions. If U are truly told by the Son of God to give someone a message, U better do it. U are not going to like your life for being disobedient. However, U may temporarily not like your life for being obedient. It is a strange dichotomy in the dilemma of life. We have to not wither but have planted seeds in the good ground of life to withstand the persecution. I truly hope those who may feel offended by my humor or Bibles truths . . . will understand that Im speaking from my heart and only want to help, and Im incapable of expressing the right words at the right time in person. Please remember Im in this struggle too. Just because I have written a book . . . does not mean I am exempted from hell. A walk with Jesus and temptation from the devil is a daily battle. I need your prayers. Im a long ways from where I want to be in Christ. Larry
