New Book Offers Ray of Hope for Women Struggling with Depression
by BWW News Desk - March 27, 2016
Written by Fatima Y. Alexander, "The Faith of Hannah" is the honest testimony of the author's descent into despair, and how she found freedom from her guilt and low sense of self-worth. She recounts the horror of an abusive relationship, twenty years of depression, and a seemingly endless downward spiral. When it appears she's in the bottom of her own personal abyss, Fatima finds purpose in the task of sharing her story, realizing she can help others understand that they are not alone in their pain and there is a way out of even the worst predicament. The first chapter of 1Samuel tells the story of Hannah, a barren woman who prayed fervently to God for a son. She was relentless and God rewarded her faith. Like Hannah, Fatima demonstrated unwavering faith during her long season of trials and trusted in God's grace and omnipotence to sustain her. "The Faith of Hannah" is Fatima's debut book. When asked about the motivation to tell her story she said: "Through all that I have endured, I have chosen to use my trials as a testimony, instead of letting them destroy me, in hopes of helping someone who finds them self in a similar storm understand that how far you have fallen in life doesn't matter, what matters is if you are courageous enough to face the reality of what your life really is, so that you can be made whole again." According to the World Health Organization (WHO) women are more likely to suffer from depression than men. "The Faith of Hannah" is timely resource of hope, healing and renewal. Aside from the inspiration and encouragement, the book includes relevant scripture and interactive exercises to help readers dig deeper into their psyche and take a realistic assessment of their lives. The Faith of Hannah is available in paperback and Kindle format. For further details visit: http://www.fatimaalexander.com.

Brill Publishers to Launch Reference Work 'Textual History of the Bible'
by BWW News Desk - March 26, 2016
The Bible is where it all began. Judaism would not be what it is today without the Bible. This foundation of Judaism has been transmitted and translated by both Jews and Christian over three millennia. The Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient witnesses show that scribes and translators have created manifold texts and translations. While doing so they wrote and rewrote the texts, inserted their interpretations and occasionally even erred. The so-called 'text of the Bible' has a multitude of ancient translations. The scholars, students and the interested public that want to be informed about these areas are often at a loss in their search for an appropriate reference work. Until today there was no such comprehensive reference work to study the Bible in its many versions and to understand its complicated textual history.
New Novelist Pens First Book, THE BIRDS OF OPULENCE
by BWW News Desk - March 26, 2016
Lexington, KY—Crystal Wilkinson fittingly begins her first novel with these lines since she has been a gatherer of stories and a teller of tales her entire life. Her gift was first recognized as a child in Appalachia, where it was cultivated by her grandmother. That inspiration, coupled with Wilkinson's reverence for home and heritage, took root to yield provocative works of award-winning poetry and short stories. But she gathers stories in more ways than with just her pen. She also challenges her writing students to discover and embody their own inspiration as influential writers. In addition, as the owner of Wild Fig Books & Coffee in Lexington, Kentucky, Wilkinson has found yet another way to encourage creativity within the community and share her love for the written word.

by BWW News Desk - March 25, 2016
Everywhere you look, mushrooms are popping up in popular culture despite the longstanding fear of fungi in the West. Mushrooms are now being grown to replace packaging materials (1).

With so much excitement and potential surrounding fungi, it is clear that the magic of mushrooms isn't going to fade any time soon.
Read The Spirit Releases '100 Questions and Answers About American Jews'
by BWW News Desk - March 25, 2016
Read the Spirit Books and Michigan State University's School of Journalism are proud to announce the publication of 100 Questions and Answers About American Jews with a Guide to Jewish Holidays. This is the 10th guidebook to cross-cultural issues published by the MSU team, a series of books that are widely used to help individuals, organizations and major companies navigate our increasingly diverse communities. This simple, introductory guidebook, prepared with input from many Jewish leaders to ensure accuracy and balance, answers 100 basic questions about American Jews. Now, this new guide joins the array of books on understanding diversity that are helping professionals in business, education, medicine, law enforcement, nonprofits, government agencies and social work. The series started with volumes on ethnicity and has expanded to include guidebooks on understanding veterans and now the major religious groups that are part of American life. An earlier guide focused on Muslim Americans. Led by Joe Grimm at Michigan State University's School of Journalism, classes of students who call themselves Bias Busters meet each term to research, write and edit a new guide. As a journalist, Grimm is known nationwide as a leading expert in cross-cultural communication, beginning as the ombudsman, an editor at the Detroit Free Press and a columnist for the Poynter Institute. The concept of the Bias Busters classes, and this resulting series of guidebooks, is to teach cultural competence by spreading awareness about a certain group or community. Ultimately, the goal is to break down cultural walls and open up discourse among groups. Other guides in the series include: 100 Questions and Answers About African Americans, 100 Questions and Answers about Hispanics & Latinos, 100 Questions & Answers about Muslim Americans, and 100 Questions and Answers about Veterans. For a complete list, please see www.ReadTheSpirit.com/bookstore. To prepare the guide, Michigan State University journalism students collect commonly asked questions from members of the selected cultural group. Then the students focus especially on questions that are frequently asked wherever friends or coworkers gather-but that are not answered in other popular reference works. Educators in cultural competence find that common questions asked out of sincere interest are the best ways to bridge cultures. The guides are written in easy-to-understand language and many passages read like face-to-face conversations. These books are ice-breakers, perfect for individuals to read on their own-or for groups of friends, neighbors or co-workers to read and discuss. In addition to answering the 100 questions and answers, this guide includes a chapter about the most significant Jewish observances each year, written by religious holidays and festivals columnist Stephanie Fenton. She provides a helpful, fascinating overview of Jewish holidays that non-Jewish readers might encounter in any religiously diverse community. This is a cutting-edge multi-media book with easy-to-follow links in print editions and clickable media in ebook versions. Among these resources are video clips made at the Lester and Jewell Morris Hillel Jewish Student Center. This unique publishing project also allows organizations placing larger group orders to customize the cover or add pages to the book in a group order. Curious about these options? Additional information is available from Read the Spirit Books or Morgan Street Media Services. 100 Questions and Answers about American Jews with a Guide to Jewish Holidays Michigan State University School of Journalism Foreword by Rabbi Bob Alper Introduction by Kirsten Fermaglich http://news.jrn.msu.edu/culturalcompetence/ Read The Spirit Books; ISBN 978-1-942011-22-4 Available for purchase at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, ITunes and other on-line retailers Paperback $9.95 Digital $6.95 Publication Date: March 1, 2016

THE GUT HEALTH PROTOCOL is Released
by BWW News Desk - March 25, 2016
The recently released book, 'The Gut Health Protocol' outlines natural approaches to tackling dozens of stomach and intestinal health issues using only scientifically studied natural herbs, supplements and diet. The book outlines the extensive research and use of supplements commonly available in local health foods stores and at your favorite online retailer. Many common ailments often have gut issues as their underlying cause, conditions such as; recurring stomach aches, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, IBS, acid reflux, nausea, eating disorders, eczema, obesity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, anxiety and even depression have all been linked to gut issues. The root of many of these problems can often be traced quite convincingly to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal candida albicans, h.pylori bacteria overgrowth in the stomach, bacterial dysbiosis throughout the gut or other secondary conditions that these infections cause. According to the extensive research outlined by the author, The Gut Health Protocol can very often resolve these issues, and without damaging antibiotics or steroids. The book also addresses how you can make any gut related antibiotic treatments safer and more effective. It also discusses how any antibiotic treatment can negatively affect the intestinal microbiota and possibly lead secondary infections, some of which can be quite serious. The author is careful to point out that antibiotics are often necessary, but that precautions should be taken to minimize damage to our all important microbiome. The Gut Health Protocol contains over 500 published scientific studies summarized and explained in easy to understand language. Unlike many self-help books nearly everything in the book is based on science, not opinion. The author simply takes all of this brilliant research and translates it to the practical application of healing and caring for the gut. In the short time the book has been out it has received dozens of testimonials and positive reader reviews. The book is written in such a way as allow your doctor to easily look up the scientific studies to validate the claims and treatment suggestions. No need to take the author's word for anything, you and your doctor can read the research and decide the best course of action for your individual situation. The author recommends that people should work with their healthcare provider, but also understands that some people choose to treat themselves. The book points out that everyone's condition is different, but has received many reports of people starting to feel better in as little as 2 weeks, naturally and without risky antibiotics. The 'protocol' is designed to help conditions that have their start with a microbial infection or imbalance and does not address other physical ailments. The Gut Health Protocol is available in both paperback and ebook formats on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Apple Store, and at most online book sellers. See http://theguthealthprotocol.com for more information.
