Motivational Book Reveals Philosophy of Finding Purpose in Life

Norfolk, NE (PRWEB) August 01, 2011

The recent meteoric rise in popularity of the Law of Attraction has spawned a number of books and films on the subject. With Moments of Forever: Discovering the True Power and Importance of Your Life (published by iUniverse), a book which explores the reasons why people struggle to control the direction of their lives, Bill R. Path has unwittingly found a devoted audience comprised of Law of Attraction buffs and people searching for meaning and purpose in their lives.

I was not seeking the Law of Attraction audience, but it would appear that the Law of Attraction audience found me, says Path. It cannot be denied that Moments of Forever, while an intellectual exploration of metaphysical concepts, also delivers a powerfully uplifting and inspirational message to readers.

People who are searching for direction need a map that is easy to read and easy to followa directory that is written in uncomplicated terms, using familiar images and landmarks, says Path. People need a map to help them put their lives into perspective.

While providing guidance, Moments of Forever seeks to redefine readers perspectives of the power and purpose of life by asking them to consider the significance of moments. When we choose to make enough moments significant, says Path, the hours, days, and years of our lives become significant. Path hopes his readers find inspiration to achieve their aspirations with Moments of Forever.

Moments of Forever was selected for inclusion in the iUniverse Star program, which recognizes excellence in writing.

New Book Indexes the Bible by Topic

Gaffney, SC (PRWEB) September 29, 2011

Terry R. Trammells new book, New King James Topical Index: Old and New Testaments (published by WestBow Press), makes finding certain topics in the Bible simple and easy by presenting readers with a straightforward index to guide them.

Trammell wrote New King James Version Topical Index to help people quickly and easily locate where certain topics are located in the numerous pages of the Bible a text which can sometimes be dauntingly difficult to grasp. It is perfect for scholars of the Bible, people in Bible colleges, or anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of biblical topics. Trammell sees this as a time saver in comparison to concordances which index the Bible by words rather than topics.

This New King James Version Topical Index covers all 66 books of the Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments. Readers will find that all the books will have a heading, a sub-heading, a list of the topics that are within that particular book, and the page number of where that topic begins. Trammell has been using this index and has found it quite helpful. He is sure it will help others in their studies of the Bible, as well.

About the Author

Trammell was born in Union, South Carolina and resides in Gaffney, South Carolina with his wife, Ann, along with their two children and their spouses, and their grand-daughter.

New Release Simplifies Catholic Churchs Views on Homosexuality; Book by James B. Lloyd

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

The goal of this book, written by a licensed psychologist whos also an ordained Catholic priest, is to clarify the position of the Catholic Church on same-sex attraction homosexuality. The provocative book attempts to present truth with charity, understanding and kindness and show compassion to all people to clear up misunderstanding and confusion on the gay lifestyle in society and within the church itself, as well as clergy. The author also presents a case for the virtue of chastity, both inside and outside, and its beauty.

Catholicism and Same Sex Attraction examines the Catholic catechism and official church documents and their views on homosexuality, as well as the theological, psychological and social consequences of same-sex behavior. The author delves into life-changing questions: Can someone be homosexual and a practicing Catholic at the same time? Can gays really hear Catholic teaching? And is morality generational or innate? As with many weighty questions, not all have a clear-cut answer. The author uses church teachings, statistics and studies to back up his claims, showing his compassion and experience in ministering to people with same-sex attraction and his desire to help lead them to a life with Christ.

Author James B. Lloyd is a Paulist priest ordained in 1948. Licensed to practice psychology in New York State, Lloyd has a Ph.D. in psychology from New York University. Archbishop Dolan appointed him to function as the archdiocesan courage representative for ministry to same sex attracted Catholics. Lloyd served as a missionary in South Africa, taught in the Paulist Information Center in New York and moderated a television program for 15 years. Lloyd was president of St. Peters College in Baltimore and directed the graduate division of pastoral counseling at Iona College.
