How can we conquer physical and mental pain and find spiritual peace? This self-help guide, by Southern African educator/Methodist minister Dr. Thabi Molete is dedicated to “all women whose lives have been touched by pain.”

Organized in 10 chapters, each beginning with a prayer and ending with a “reflection exercise,” Is it Well with your Soul? describes a journey that begins with a purpose and a path. We all have resources of body, mind and spirit, and we can utilize these resources in the battle to rise above spiritual desolation.

Writer’s block – the bane of writers the world over. Just about anyone can have a dry season where the words just don’t come, but what’s behind the block?

Almost everyone wants to write a book someday. Most people just don’t do it.

There are many reasons for the lack of follow-through; one of them is time. This is especially pertinent for executives, celebrities or motivational speakers who really should have a book out there to support their work, but just don’t have the time to put one together. Another reason is that writing scares the hell out of some people. We’re all born differently with unique talents and for some, writing just isn’t it. That’s not to say there isn’t a story to be told. Then there’s good old writer’s block (a blog on writer’s block is coming soon, so watch out for that).
