Several authors featured in Global Talk Radio’s August 1st edition of “A Story to Tell.”

(PRWEB) August 2, 2005

Global Talk Radio (www.GlobalTalkRadio.com) is pleased to announce interviews with three new authors and two professional publications in the August 1st edition of its internet talk radio program, “A Story to Tell.”

First, we spoke with Sankara Saranam, author of “God Without Religion.” As the book’s introduction states, In today’s complex world, many people are beginning to examine their religious beliefs in light of their longing for a more meaningful sense of God. Some individuals, while asking challenging questions about the religious beliefs handed down to them in childhood, are uncovering seedbeds of prejudice and divisiveness. Others, exploring New Age spiritual movements, are finding many to be as dogmatic as organized religions. People dissatisfied with dogma and prejudice change radically when they turn inward for direct knowledge of God. Organized religions have done much harm by professing the superiority of their followers and creating such divisive categories as true believers and godless heathens, God’s righteous chosen ones and pagans, the heaven bound and hell bound, and the enlightened and unspiritual. Overtly, “us against them” distinctions attract congregants by psychologically empowering them. Covertly, they forge polarized perceptions and a distorted view of human abuses, catalyzing endless violence.

God Without Religion examines the past effects of organized religion and offers more direct avenues to knowledge of God for the present and future.

Next, we heard from Amey Tippett, whose new book “Alison’s Journey,” the touching story of a woman who finds that, rather than having run away, she has come home. Debut author Amey Tippett takes readers on a sweetly emotional journey as Alison rediscovers herself and her ability to trust, finding out what love really is. At the beginning, Alison’s life is perfect – or so it seems. Married to Eric, a handsome, wealthy man, she teaches 5th grade – just for fun – and is the envy of all her friends. Beneath the surface, Eric is an abusive monster. Able to take no more, Alison flees her “perfect life” with only her clothes, her car and two cats. After a mad dash across the country, she lands in Grabill, a backwoods Ohio town with seemingly little to offer. But if anyone knows that appearances are deceiving, Alison does. So, she takes her chances on Grabill and, eventually, mechanic Tyler Coffey, embarking on a journey of a whole other kind.

Next, Chris Jones talked about his new fiction thriller, “The Syndrome Rule.” When the world’s largest software company releases an exotic handheld PC to showcase its new “digital rights” software, a star employee goes missing. Her husband thinks she left him. Her boss thinks she quit. With the help of two employees Weel Traverse searches for his missing wife and in the process discovers a horrible secret that could bring the software giant to its knees. From their offices in Redmond, to the wilds of Montana, to tracking a GPS trail deep into the Pacific Northwest rainforest, The Syndrome Rule offers edge-of-your-seat suspense and a provocative discussion of the volatile mix of politics and business.

Dawn Jeffers of Raven Tree Press joined us to discuss their bilingual children’s books. The number of Spanish-speaking and bilingual households in the United States continues to grow each year. Schools are going bilingual throughout the country and in many areas Spanish surpasses English as the first language of the residents. The presence of both English and Spanish within the same book allows multicultural enjoyment, language development, and a learning process that occurs naturally when both texts are readily at hand. Children enjoy books for many reasons. Reading and being read to is a way for children to travel and experience many different cultures and adventures. They can compare themselves to the characters, imagine what they would do in similar situations, and develop problem-solving skills. Books can inspire children to dream and pursue goals. Raven Tree’s bilingual books feature good stories brought to life through delightful illustrations. They also promote multicultural respect and understanding-a winning combination all around. Dawn added that all Raven Tree Press children’s books feature quality translations, beautiful illustrations, and family value-based stories.

Finally, we visited with Debbie Levitt of As Was, whose new e-book is The EverySeller’s™ Guide to eBay: What Every Seller Should Know About eBay Strategy. This e-book covers a variety of topics that help someone new to eBay have a stronger start and help an eBay veteran improve sales and get more repeat customers. Our goal with the book is to help sellers deeply understand the eBay marketplace and their own buyers so that they can develop their own listing strategies and evolve as the marketplace evolves. Many chapters include visual examples and warnings such as eBay rules to avoid breaking and details on common mistakes sellers make.
