The Book of the Sun by Jenny Rook #blogtour #bookreview #thebookofthesun #jennyrook #giveaway #spiritual #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @AuthorParul @AuthorJennyRook

Spiritual

Date Published:15 December 2022

Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing

 

 

‘Are these my thoughts or yours?’ I asked.

‘It doesn’t matter,’ said the Sun.  ‘You are
me and I am you….’

The Book of the Sun is a record of the conversations between the author and
the Sun.  It concerns the structure of the living universe, why it is
so difficult here, and why we should all begin to realize that we are all
one, and yet diverse at the same time.  It answers many questions that
have concerned minds throughout the millennia.  Why are we here?
Why is there suffering?  What is the future for us?  These
questions and many more are answered with many surprises for the
reader.

This is a god- the Sun, speaking to us through this book – who has
contacted us before in Ancient Egypt, the Americas and many other
places.  But the message now is that there is no separation, so the Sun
is very concerned that we should not make a religion out of this
contact.  Religions are based on hierarchies, rules and judgments, and
the Sun’s message is not only that we are one but that love and light
is the only reality, with a spicing of laughter.

 

Review

This book is just the most beautiful treat to yourself! The illustrations are so beautiful and thought provoking and I will be sure to pick this up time and time again.

  About the Author

Jenny Rook was born in Essex, UK and educated at York University, where she
graduated with a degree in English and Music. Studying the greats of
literature called a halt to her burgeoning desire to write. After various
adventures in: the scrap trade; bookselling; helping run an employment
agency; and having children, she settled back into her first love, writing.
Her first fiction book Fly By Night (1989) was accepted by Headline, the
first publisher she sent it to. This was the first of a fantasy trilogy and
Headline wanted all three. All her fiction books are published under the
name Jenny Jones. Two adult ghost novels followed, Where the Children Cry
(1998) and The Blue Manor (1995) both published by Gollancz. Five other
fantasy/horror books for teenagers were published by Scholastic (1994, 1995,
1997), Hodder (1995) and Orion (2000).

In 2006, Jenny qualified as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist for children
and their families. She worked mainly for the NHS and also volunteered for
Sure Start (a UK government initiative to help with the early stages in a
mother and baby’s relationship), before taking early retirement to
look after her elderly mother. Jenny now lives with her husband, mother, and
three dogs in the Cotswolds and writes nonfiction.

surrounding her family.

Christian Nonfiction

Date Published: August 12, 2020

 

 

Good dogs are obedient, loving, loyal, protective, and friendly. They honor

the “Devil Dog.”Better Than Our Dogs uses funny and engaging
stories to illustrate timeless lessons from the book of James. Each chapter
offers practical advice, challenges readers to determine which dog they are
most like, and encourages everyone to be better today. Better friends. Better
people. Better followers of God.

About the Author

John J. Murray Jr. is the award-winning author of Better Than Our Dogs. He
leads Bible study groups with members from across the country. After leaving
private practice as an attorney, John won the League for Innovation in the
Community College Excellence Award as the Paralegal Program Director and law
instructor at Alvin Community College. He lives in Texas with his wife,
Lana, and their dog, Chloe.

Better Lucky Than Good by Dale Arenson #promo #giveaway #memoir #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

Memoir

Date Published: 09-13-2022

 

 

Can you build a successful life by taking the less traveled path? Yes, you
can, and Dale Arenson’s incredible journey attests to it.

After seven years of living on the edge as a member of Hangmen, of the most
popular outlaw motorcycle clubs in the US, the young school dropout needs a
radical change. His soul wants something else; as long as he can preserve
his freedom to do what he loves, he is ready to give up the gun violence,
wild rides, and loud parties.

Dale Arenson walks away from the only life he knows to embark on a path
that many people would deem too hard to even think about it. He bounces back
from his poor start in life, bad choices, and costly mistakes and builds an
exceptional career in aviation as a commercial pilot.

“Better Lucky Than Good” is the gripping account of this journey.
A natural storyteller, the author vividly depicts his unorthodox path from
outlaw biker to construction worker and salesman and, finally, to his dream
life and his incredible adventures that nearly got him killed. Wildly
entertaining, the book will keep you at the edge of your seat while
inspiring and motivating you to follow your dreams and forge your own path
in life.

About the Author

Dale Arenson is a bestselling author of gripping memoirs inspired by his
risky and unconventional life. A high-school dropout in sunny Southern
California, he found the supportive family he always craved in the biker
community. After many run-ins with the law and brushes with death as a
member of the famous Hangmen Motorcycle Club, Arenson gave up his dangerous
lifestyle and reinvented himself as a commercial pilot. An admirer of Plato,
Hemingway, and Marcus Aurelius, Arenson is now taking his turn at writing
books that entertain, inspire, and stand the test of time.

Review

This story didn’t disappoint, I really enjoyed the writing and the pacing. Once it all gets going, a sweet romance ensues.

I also loved how all of the notable characters found a place to explore their best self and feel at home as a result.

The interpersonal relationships and issues dealt with were real and believable as well.

Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots by Frank Hood & Charles Hood #blogtour #nonfiction #coldwar #biography #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

6 book Poopie Suits Series

Cold War Biography – Non Fiction

Date Published: 01-17-2018

 

 

Poopie Suits and Cowboy Boots is a story of a young man volunteering to serve aboard a US Submarine, and the life changing journey he had to take to even get on a submarine. Then, once aboard, you go through the day-to-day life while on the front lines of the Cold War at sea. The scary incidents, the wild times in ports of call, the ongoing testing the men were subjected to by the crew. Historical touch points anchor the story in the mid to late 60’s, a time of the nascent space program and the Vietnam War. Frank’s story serves as a frame work to explain how submarine systems operate, in simple easy to understand terms. There is a lot packed into this true story, and we hope that those who read it will come away with an enhanced understanding of what these men went through, the sacrifices that had to made, the unrelenting pressure of zero mistakes in an always potential deadly environment. An deep insight into the Silent Service.

Review

This book gives us an honest look at the Cold War from a personal point of view and from someone who experienced it.

A short but accurate overview of the cold war. Not too technical in its narrative, more personal, making it easy to read.

About the Author

Frank Hood received a NROTC Scholarship to Purdue and started his formation
to being commissioned as a Naval Officer.  For his Senior Cruise, he
was assigned to a WWII era submarine and he saw, first hand, the loose rules
coupled with the cool and professional execution of duties, along with the
great fun they crew had when the pressure was off. He greatly appreciated
the tight camaraderie they had, and he knew that is what he wanted when he
graduated.

This is the genesis of this book.  For over 1 year of Nuclear Power
and Submarine Officer training, to 3 years of keeping the Soviet Submarine
Force at bay, this experience was one of the most impacting of his
life.  Post Navy, he worked as an Engineer, Sales Person, and Business
Owner.  Retired to New Hampshire and enjoying life. Active in the
submarine veteran community, the deep bond formed 50 years before is even
stronger and more appreciated.

Charles Hood is a physician practicing in South Carolina. For years he was
intrigued by his older brother Frank’s service on a hot running, fast
attack submarine, but could not get Frank to ever talk about it. Finally, he
convinced Frank by saying, “Even without the secret mission details,
your day-to-day life is a unique story, and if you don’t tell it so
others can appreciate what you went through, who will?”  With
that Frank dictated his story and Charles word smithed it and add additional
research.  Vetting by many other sub vets helped reduce the errors
caused by 50 year old memories.  The resulting story has been acclaimed
by submarine veterans and civilians alike.  It is in its 5th Edition,
have had other details and stories added to the original content.

Today Nick uses his considerable business and life experience to mentor and
inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders, when he
isn’t on the soccer field or planning his next walk.

Nick is available to speak to groups interested in business and personal
success. For more information on his speaking and mentoring work, visit his
