( Cleverly crafted by acclaimed author and motivational s...)
Cleverly crafted by acclaimed author and motivational speaker Reverend Leo Booth, The Angel and the Frog is both a charming fable about relationships and an exquisite insight into life and human relationships, similar in the way George Orwell's classic Animal Farm was an insight into politics and governmental Big Brother. When Christine, a tiny angel in training, falls from the sky into Turnbridge Pond―though not by accident―Cedric the Frog is shaken from his stupor as he quickly swims to save her. Christine's mission is to show Cedric and the other animals how to connect and ultimately become angels themselves, bringing true spirituality into their lives through a system called The Process―an interconnection of insight, wisdom, and harmony. This imaginary world is a welcome metaphor for our lives today, where many feel disconnected from spirituality. It highlights social issues facing society―racism, bullying, homophobia, emotional abuse, low self-esteem, and shame. These are seemingly beyond our ability to control. The only option we have is how to respond to them. These difficult topics are presented with subtlety and grace with a great moral ending and characters you have no choice but to fall in love with along the way. The Angel and the Frog is an uplifting read for all ages and all denominations, where in the end Cedric becomes an amphibian ambassador of spirituality, love, and what it means to become your own angel.

Spirituality is recognizing that we have the power to change the things in our lives that bring us pain. Whether it's simply a life in need of greater positivity or a life ravaged by addiction, each of us holds the key to initiating the healing process. Spirituality is recovery. This is the essence of the message in Spirituality & Recovery: A Guide to Positive Living by noted author and speaker Reverend Leo Booth, who has years of sobriety. In this third edition of a powerful and timeless classic, listeners will learn that spirituality connects with creativity, bringing insights into how to live an authentic life. The drug addict who desperately wants to break from his dependency, the emotionally needy person who wants to stop craving the attention of others, the widow whose life feels empty and discontent, the young adult who feels guilty because of a detachment from religion - these are some of the countless people who will benefit from the journey taken in Spirituality & Recovery. With a broad spectrum of references from music, dance, theater, sexuality, relationships, nature, personal experiences - and yes, the Bible - Rev.

He takes an unconventional approach to explaining religion in a more inclusive manner and talks about what it truly means to "walk on water." Spirituality & Recovery affirms that you don't need to get spirituality; instead, you discover it, because spirituality has already been given to us - all of us - at birth. Spirituality & Recovery will show listeners how to: • Identify the difference between existing and living • See the spiritual through the pain • Recognize "moments" in your life when you can see and understand who you really are, turning a moment of suffering into an opportunity for growth and even joy • Embrace the poetic concept that "walking on water" is something anyone can do • Understand and live with something we all have - two heads - a sick head and a healthy head • Identify your "IC" - that certain something that turns someone who uses alcohol into a destructive "alcoholic" • Surrender to live and find your miracle...a way to live with your pain, whether physical or psychological Spirituality & Recovery serves as a much-needed guide to the topic of spirituality.
