About Summer’s Complaint, My family’s courageous, century-long struggle with a rare genetic cancer syndrome by Laura Kieger

Summer’s Complaint will be FREE from April 25th (National DNA Day) through April 29th 2018.

Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, or FAP, accounts for roughly 1 percent of hereditary colorectal cancer and carries an extremely high lifetime risk of colon cancer and elevated risks for other exceedingly rare cancers. It is an autosomal dominant condition caused by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. By the age of fifty, nearly 99 percent of untreated FAP patients will have developed cancer.

This is the dark shadow that has lingered over one family since at least 1911, when a matriarch was first seen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota for symptoms that would become commonplace in her descendants. Three of her five children died in their thirties with what they’d come to call “summer’s complaint.” Her granddaughter, genetically programmed by a defect on her 5th chromosome also developed cancer, which would ultimately take her life.

This is that family’s sometimes tragic story. As told by a daughter, aunt, and sister who has been surrounded by its relentless destruction her entire life, Summer’s Complaint is at once a testament to the courage of those one family has lost and a journey toward understanding hereditary predispositions to disease and how best to combat them.

About Eden to Evil: NEW Updated Edition: Exposing the Truth of Our Origins and Creation by Gerry Burney

FREE KINDLE EBOOK DOWNLOAD APRIL 20-24, 2018!

In Eden to Evil, Gerry Burney explains the difference between the two biblical creation accounts, “Eden” creation and the “7-day” creation. They diverge in so many ways that many believe both cannot be true. Did God make a mistake-and how do we fit into the two accounts?

But if the two accounts were not a mistake, then God must have given us a riddle that only those who search for truth will uncover. Burney deciphers the riddle to show how the answer helps us understand the Bible and how we view ourselves. Are we sinner or saints?

In his new updated edition, Burney builds on the original, clarifying why a third of the angels rejected God’s authority, thus exposing how early civilizations so easily accepted Satan the serpent.

Now we can finally understand why we experience suffering and tragedy in God’s “very good” creation and why we need a Savior.

About Heaven Vs Reincarnation by Dharma

Heaven is a metaphor for the Womb, Childhood & the Past, whereas Reincarnation stands for Life, Adulthood and the Future. In the womb we were at peace, in comfort, sheltered, protected, in bliss and basically lived in a bubble. But suddenly we get thrown out of this Eden into a cold, hard world! We feel pain for the first time but that is also how we know that Life starts! We get this experience once more when we, as young people, move out of the nest, whether for college or a job. Again we experience pain, face life on our own, but we know we must move out of the nest if we want to start a life of our own. All creatures obey this law of God
Heaven then is the idea that we can move back into the womb, go back to our childhood and hide in the bubble permanently. Heaven is a world created by Religions, it is not God’s creation, it goes against God’s laws. Heaven is for the weak, the coward who are beaten by what life throws at them. Reincarnation, then, is for the Strong, the Warrior who takes on life and works to create a wonderful world of the future that is yet to come. One day, the world pictured in the Star Wars movies will become a reality but such a world has to be built, worked for and it is those who choose Reincarnation, REAL LIFE, who will do that.

About Iniquity and The Separation Of Being by Luke Ashley Fernandez

Many believe as knowledge of consciousness science becomes more widespread in society, we are on the verge of a paradigm shift, of proportions that would make the ‘Flat-Earthers’ shift in world view look like an ant-hill in contrast the mountain we are now scaling.
The novel, described as the Sophie’s World of consciousness science and philosophy is a valuable introduction to the latest theories on the nature of consciousness based upon Sir Roger Penrose’s Orch-OR theory. Roger Penrose is the English mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science, the Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, who worked with Stephen Hawking to develop our understanding of the Big Bang itself.

Plot

Amrit is a young man who has lived a life burnishing his intellect as a scientist, a theoretical physicist and an avid defender of truth. He had worked endlessly for the regime, for ‘the cause’ and should have been lionised for his success but instead finds himself set upon by the dogs of war. He cannot understand this bizarre twist of fate, and the regime’s many tentacles have now tracked him to the last place on Earth he thought they would find him, in the most remote capital city in the world. Having nowhere else to run, he somehow finds himself seeking refuge in a Buddhist monastery and in the throes of the deepest of meditative experience that enlivens his mind and captivates his senses, he embattles perdition and the conviction of his own demons.
