Intend, Declare, Detach

The Point of Power

Author, Peter Baksa, has spent the past decade researching ancient text and interviewing people from various walks of life to see how they developed their belief systems in regard to God, Politics and Nutrition.  The responses he received were the inspiration for The Point of Power

No matter what your life situation is, you can harness the natural laws of the universe, as indicated by scientific research , to manifest your desires. The Point of Power weaves a fabric of these theories into a message that will change your life forever.

The Point of Power guides you to:

• Intend:       Set an intention to think positive thoughts
• Declare:   State a plan and align your behaviors
• Detach:     Allow the universe to do its thing

The Point of Power teaches you how to engage the same forces that creates worlds to manifest the life you desire.  The author points to leading contemporary research in quantum physics to support his theories on lifestyle design and creation.  He shows the reader how the universe functions and how we interact with it to create our reality in the natural.  He also illustrates how we stand in the way of our successes and life goals and what we need to do to get out of the way and allow the universe to do it’s thing.

The Point of Power ties together the science of quantum physics with the evolution of the human being to show how we are in total control of our life experience through manipulation of our thoughts.

America’s Favorite Forensic Anthropologist Returns in Kathy Reichs’ 13^th Novel, Spider Bones

Spider Bones - Kathy Reichs

Bestselling author, Kathy Reichs – whose books have inspired the TV show, Bones – is back with her thirteenth novel featuring America’s favorite forensic anthropologist, Temperance Brennan. Book publicity firm, Newman Communications, scheduled Reichs with more than 20 national and local radio interviews, including USA Radio Network, CJAD-AM (Montreal), Northeast Public Radio, and Lifestyle Radio Network.

Book Description:

In Spider Bones, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Quebec. The victim’s fingerprints identify him as John Lowery – an American soldier who had been declared dead in Vietnam in 1968 and buried long ago in North Carolina. How could a man have died twice, and how did his body end up in Canada? As Brennan’s investigation progresses, a riveting and complex tale of murder and deceit unfolds in Spider Bones.

About the Author:

Kathy Reichs, like her character Temperance Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist, formerly for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and currently for the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale for the province of Québec. She is one of only 82 forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, is past Vice President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Board in Canada. Reichs’ first book, Déjà Dead, catapulted her to fame and became a New York Times bestseller and won the 1997 Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Her novel, Devil Bones, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.

It’s been quite a wild ride on the American political scene.  Our President has been under great scrutiny, the Team Party has emerged with a major national presence, and the Conservatives are wondering who may be their next great hope.  If you are a reader of political books, we are more than sure you have heard from a number of recent Newman clients.

Revival

One of the most intertesting titles comes from award-winning journalist and political analyst for MSNBC television, Richard Wolffe.  The book, entitled REVIVAL is the dramatic inside story of the defining period of the Obama White House. It is an epic tale that follows the president and his inner circle from the crisis of defeat to historic success.  Wolffe draws on unrivaled access to the West Wing to write a natural sequel to his critically acclaimed book, RENEGADE, about the president and his campaign. Starting at the first anniversary of the inauguration, Wolffe paints a portrait of a White House at work under exceptional strain across a sweeping set of challenges: from health care reform to a struggling economy, from two wars to terrorism.

Game Change

If you’ve been listening or watching, we are sure you have heard from best-selling authors John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.  Their book, GAME CHANGE, was a runaway bestseller in hardcover and the paperback has done quite well, especially with the new Afterword.  In 2008 , the presidential election became blockbuster entertainment. Everyone was watching as the race for the White House unfolded like something from the realm of fiction. The meteoric rise and historic triumph of Barack Obama. The shocking fall of the House of Clinton—and the improbable resurrection of Hillary as Obama’s partner and America’s face to the world. The mercurial performance of John McCain and the mesmerizing emergence of Sarah Palin. But despite the wall-to-wall media coverage of this spellbinding drama, remarkably little of the real story behind the headlines had been told—until now.  In GAME CHANGE, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin pull back the curtains on the Obama, Clinton, McCain, and Palin campaigns. Based on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived thestory, Game Change is a reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel.

The Obama Identity

If you are interested in taking a light-hearted break from seriousness of politics, why not check out THE OBAMA IDENTITY: A Novel (Or Is It?).  Written by seven-time NY Times best selling author Ed Klein and former NY Congressman John LeBoutiellier, this book takes a satirical look at our current President and makes sure that no parties go unscathed!  If you like the following description, this is definitely a book for you:

WASHINGTON, D.C.-In the summer of 2004, CIA agent Theodore J. Higginbothem III was summoned by his boss to a hush-hush meeting in the basement of the National Museum of Health. “Higgy,” his boss whispered in his ear, “the CIA has a top-secret, off-the-books domestic spying operation in which we keep tabs on our most ambitious presidential hopefuls. I want you to do a complete workup on Barack Hussein Obama. Where was he born? Is he a Muslim? Is he a socialist? Who is behind him? And what is Obama’s real agenda.” THE OBAMA IDENTITY follows Higgy and his team as they travel all over the world-from Chicago to Mombasa to Honolulu to Jakarta and St. Petersburg, Russia-and encounter Birthers and Bushes, Katie Couric and Muslim clerics. Along their hilarious and madcap journey, Higgy and his crack operatives discover startling secrets about the 44th president of the United States-a man some call “The Chosen One” and others refer to as ” an Obamanation.” Among the many startling revelations in THE OBAMA IDENTITY:

• What Obama’s Kenyan grandmother says about his birthplace
• How a Muslim imam taught young Obama to apologize for America and bow to foreigners
• How the Reverend Jeremiah Wright taught Obama to use the TelePromTer
• What happened to the videotapes showing Obama high-fiving the Reverend Wright after one of his anti-American sermons
• How financier George Soros brought about the collapse of the American economy to help elect Obama
• Why Obama blames everything on George W. Bush except Katie Couric’s dismal ratings
• How the Russians blackmailed Obama into canceling America’s anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe
• Who came up with the idea of carving Obama’s face on Mount Rushmore right next to Abe Lincoln’s?
