Ben Franklin''s Guide to Wealth is the modern version of the treatise The Way of Wealth by Richard Saunders, one of Ben Franklin''s many pseudonyms. Franklin practiced what he preached in the treatise, and it made him rich enough to have a full life, travel extensively, and follow his intellectual musings, which in turn led him to become an accomplished scientist, inventor, political activist, diplomat, and writer. Franklin wasn''t born rich. He built his legacy using his intelligence, curiosity, natural good sense, and proclivity for thrift and hard work. When he died, he left a fortune.Barrett and Mingo bring practicing what Franklin preached up to date for today''s busy lifestyles. It''s time to get back to financial basics. It''s time to think about what "rich" really means. It might mean not hiring someone to do lawn work, saving some money, and sharing time spent together as a family. It''s time to look for guidance from America''s original financial guru, Ben Franklin.Ben Franklin''s Guide to Wealth shows readers how to apply Franklin''s financial wisdom to their own lives. Quotes from the original treatise such as "If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today" and "Leisure is time for doing something useful," are followed by the authors'' down-to-earth commentary. Barrett and Mingo--history and trivia buffs--offer their own sage advice on a range of financial basics, including debt, thrift, the value of work and business, developing financial responsibility, money and time, and preparing for the future. As the authors attest in the Introduction, we should listen to the way of Ben Franklin because "it works."A clever, wise, and fun book, the financial advice in Ben Franklin''s Guide to Wealth works as well today as it did 250 years ago.

Barb Rogers'' book begins with the tragic death of her teenage son, Jon, and delves into the horror that was her life to that point. Due to a home life fraught with substance and emotional abuse, Barb found herself bottomed out more than once, and homeless along the way."When asked in early recovery if I knew any prayers, the one I could think of was the child''s nighttime prayer, ''Now I lay me down to sleep.'' As I thought of it, I recalled the long nights when I simply wanted to go to sleep and never wake up."Barb learned most of her life lessons through pain, tragedy, and addiction. This is not a glamorous book, it is real and it is raw. It is not about survival of the fittest, but the weak, the hopeless, the helpless, the truly addicted, not only to substances, but to drama, anger, excuses, and justifications. She describes how she got to her lowest point, just what it was, and how and why she finally reached out to a 12-step program for help. She shows the reader what it''s really like to survive, to stay clean and sober, and find a way to the other side. Recovery was one of the most difficult things she ever did, but "worth every effort I put out." Barb Rogers would be the first to tell you she''s not special-she''s led a hard life, and she tells her story well and with humor. Readers-addicts or not, but especially addicts-will be inspired by Barb''s grit: if she can do it, so can they.

Our planet, our home, is in crisis plain and simple and this collection of quotes, poems, essays, and prayers will inspire all to actively reverse the manmade cause of global warming, stem the tide of environmental destruction, and to reconnect to the good earth. Short essays of topical interest introduce each of the eight sections of this book, and the 250 voices inside, most of them contemporary, began to harmonize together as they seem to call out for their own canonical structure -- one bounded by the ancient elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. This collection of voices is like a "green book of devotional hours," reminiscent of the Books of Hours medieval people used to hold in their palms. It was called "a cathedral in your hands." And like that medieval book, The Green Devotional reminds us that we are connected to something broader and wiser than ourselves. Included are selections from such people as Rachel Carson, Cornel West, Bill McKibben, Alice Walker, Sue Monk Kidd, Dean Koontz, Barbara Kingsolver, Daniel Pinchbeck, Arundhati Roy and many others. The Green Devotional ends with a section of "Closing Prayers" that prepare us no just to go to sleep but to rest up for another day of passionate action. Printed on 100% recycled paper.

And she knows that doesn''t make a difference -- what makes a difference is that she''s clean and sober today.Rogers'' newest book offers true stories from real-life people. Their addictions have led them to a 12-step program. Yet, in working the program, they have found, as the saying goes, that things are simple but not always easy. The important thing -- no matter what difficulties we have with any of the steps -- is to keep working the steps, as many times as it takes. There is no perfection, there is no goal, there is only walking the talk, one day at a time.In 12 Steps That Can Save Your Life, Barb Rogers once again offers down-home sensible advice, along with stories a struggling reader can identify with. Twelve-step programs are neither cult, curse, or cure. They work because they are ongoing, because the focus is inward and outward, and because people recognize that their lives are better when they work them. * A welcome addition to core recovery literature -- why and how 12-step programs work -- for alcoholics, addicts, overeaters, workaholics, and more.* True stories offer inspiration to overcome roadblocks at each of the steps.* Alcoholism alone affects at least 15% of the population, and other addictions affect millions more of us.
