A few days ago I watched an infomercial for a new book, The World’s Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets. The show featured veteran Today Show host, Hugh Downs, with editor, Arthur P.

Although I’ve got plenty to write, I’m really likin’ this video thing. I’m still learning what works best for different situations. For example, YouTube has a 10 minute limit (may have as much to do with attention span as with space requirements). This will do for most situations, but Google Video doesn’t have that limit. So today, here’s another one…

Illness and the Appearance of Death, Natural Health and the Reality of Eternal and Internal Spirit Although it has occurred since the beginning of time, evidence is mounting which suggests that disease, particularly chronic illnes, is not natural to us.

Just like the piano and acoustic guitar, just like the pen and paper, books will never go out of style. As important as the computer has become, and all the derivative gadgets that depend on microprocessors and mass storage, books will remain the most viable medium for the external exchange of ideas for generations to come. Where electricity is not…
