Grover Norquist. The Man. The Myth. The Little Dictator. The hard hitting deep coverage you would expect from a political satire. This book gives more honest information about Grover Norquist than any other source. Unfortunately, the reality is painfully humorous. In an end-of-the-world kind of humor. Grover Norquist is a mere lobbyist who has convinced ninety percent of the Republican party to pledge alligiance to him, instead of to their office. Treason is a bed covered with the mantel of Grover Norquist. Grover Norquist is a pair of bad shoes, pinching the Nation''s feet. The GOP worships a lobbyist and the nation struggles to find We The People. Can''t we all agree to just throw away this twisted, ugly, uptight pair of cramped Norquist pumps? Lady Liberty''s feet just can''t be shoved into such a narrow, non-functional solution. Chapters include the real scoop, in a crazy, yummy Neapolitan of dreamy satire. Chapter 1 -- Grover Norquist. The Little Dictator of Democracy Chapter 2 -- Birth! Behold Ayn Rand Conceived a Child! Let''s call him Grover after a bad President Chapter 3 -- Childhood. It''s so very hard to be the son of a Vice President of a major corporation. Becoming the schoolyard bully was inevitable Chapter 4 -- College Years. Yeah Nixon! Grover Love you so very much! Oh, and a little bit of cross-dressing too Chapter 5 -- Rise of the Little Dictator - and transparency is just for the little people. Chapter 6 --The Fall! Alas, poor Norquist, I knew him well

The POWER to cure depression is within you. The cure is found at the speed of read! Unlocking the mystery of the symptoms is the key to solving your depression.Symptoms are a body''s immune response to emotional damage. The body has a method to heal injury and this includes Weeping, Sex Issues, Recurrent Dreams, Rage, Isolation, Fatigue, Confusion, Addictions, Appetite Changes and Dark Thoughts/Suicide. This book was written for the most difficult of depression sufferers - for the injured. Soldiers blasted to pieces in combat. Children crushed in bicycle accidents. People taking bone shattering falls. Victims mugged and shot. Diabetes taking a limb. Lupus taking everything. None of these things will ever \"be okay\". They won''t just \"work themselves out.\" And the injured are not just magically, \"going to be all right.\" This work is a giant leap forward using the foundation of Carl Jung''s theories. This self-help book greatly expands to cover ALL the symptoms of depression: Weeping, Sex Issues, Recurrent Dreams, Rage, Isolation, Fatigue, Confusion, Addictions, Appetite Changes and Dark Thoughts/Suicide. Depression will not rule you. You will rule depression. The reality is that the symptoms of depression are a normal and NECESSARY part of human behavior. We all need to weep, we all need to be isolated from time to time, we all have rage and other symptoms of depression. Fearing sorrow is not a healthy mindset, as it puts the emotion of depression over the identity of the person. A correct and healthy approach is to be in harmony with your depression. Depression is VERY useful and not to be feared. Many good things come out of depression - the most obvious being a serious consideration of the realities of living. We are more thoughtful, analytical and cautious during depression. This is depression''s job! However, by running away from the symptoms, we are failing to ever settle the voice of depression. Those symptoms become like ghosts forever whispering in our hearts. When a person learns the tricks found in this book to listen to the symptoms they can lay those ghosts to rest. This work, Decoding Depression Symptoms is a pioneering solution of the overlooked obvious. You can totally harmonize your depression and rule it by using the information in this self-help book. I truly am very sorry you are depressed. I wish it had never happened to you. Much love. Much peace. Much joy and healing to you. Stephen Paul West

I Am Love is a healing journey and affirmative reminder of your True Identity as Love. You are literally an extension of God''s love. I Am Love seeks to undo illusions of ego guilt (which are based on unconscious beliefs in separation from God, sin and death) using an applied forgiveness process aligned with the teachings of A Course in Miracles. The book encourages a healing of false perceptions, a correction of mistaken thoughts and an expansion of the awareness of love''s (God''s) presence. Ultimately it seeks to remind you that your True Identity is Infinite Love, rather than a separate ego. Holy Spirit is the source of most of the book material as channeled through the author. Holy Spirit is also responsible for most of the editing and decisions made throughout the book''s development. He is also the Healer who works through the book to heal and guide the reader. The book does not explain theory nor try to dwell on the story of one''s life. Rather it focusses immediately on APPLYING the forgiveness process as taught in A Course in Miracles by the Foundation for Inner Peace, and in The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard. It offers insight into false beliefs and affirms an awareness of what is True. I Am Love was written as a healing process for the author as a way of applying forgiveness for himself. The writing of the book did produce healing, emotional releases and an expanded awareness and trust of Holy Spirit, Jesus and God. You are encouraged to use this book for applying forgiveness in your own life, joining first with Holy Spirit or Jesus to allow and accept their guidance, correction and support. Look within and remember, you are love. Holy Spirit offers his love and support as you awaken to the awareness of Love''s presence. I Am Love is written in a first-person perspective with almost 3000 instances of `I`, designed to resonate with YOU. The book can be read out loud for enhanced affirmative power. It is also useful to read the book out loud to another person and allow them to repeat everything you say. Of course, reading quietly to yourself is always a rewarding experience! I Am Love features many beautiful passages, thanks to the healing influence of our friend Holy Spirit. The book also has a rhythmical quality, especially toward later chapters. Much of it poetically flows with a waltz-like `iambic pentameter` rhythm and also includes numerous rhyming sentences. During its writing, the author felt often compelled to express the words within this rhythmical pattern. Some readers have likened I Am Love to the Workbook of A Course in Miracles due to its ''practical application'' of forgiveness. Above all else, remember that God loves you.

Christians who are weary of defeat and heavy-laden with sin''s mastery will find in this publication the solution to their many heartaches and the key to unlocking their long-awaited freedoms in Christ.
