Our May Marvels (the 100 Club): Authors with Books in the Amazon Top 100 in the marvelous month of May
We are so proud of the following authors whose books have been in the top 100 in their categories during the month of May!
An Afternoon's Dictation by Steven Greenebaum
In 1999 Steven Greenebaum felt he'd hit the wall. Fifty years old, he could not make sense of his life or the world around him. For several months he angrily demanded answers from God, if God were there. One afternoon, an inner voice told him to get a pen and paper and write. Steven then took dictation - three pages, not of commandments but guidance for leading a meaningful life.
An Afternoon's Dictation grapples with, organizes, and deeply explores the revelations Steven received and then studied for over ten years. His sharing is NOT offered as the only possible way to understand it the dictation. It is offered, rather, as a start. The book's sections include deep explorations into "The Call to Interfaith," "The Call to Love One Another," "The Call to Justice," and "The Call to Community." These explorations are rooted in a crucial part of the dictation that directs us to "Seek truth in the commonality of religions - which are but the languages of speaking to Me."
Thus, An Afternoon's Dictation builds on what unites our diverse spiritual traditions, not what divides us. It shows us a path to respecting our differences while embracing unity of the great callings of our spiritual traditions. An Afternoon's Dictation provides caring guidance forward in these hugely challenging times - if we are open to it.

Mental Health Mayday by Gregg Bagdade
From their swearing-in all to the way until retirement, even the most hardened firefighters can be affected by mental health concerns. This book explores the why and explains the how to better prepare these individuals for a healthy and productive career and life, based on my personal experience as a counselor, who also has 27 years as a firefighter and paramedic.

RV Oopsies by Larry MacDonald
Every year thousands of RVers hit the road for fun and adventure, but RVing has built in misadventures--backing into a tree, bending a jack stand, and more--spoiling an otherwise perfect outing.
For the past ten years, the author has asked RVers the same question: "What's the dumbest thing you've done while RVing?" Each year, he has given an award for the dumbest mishap.
In this funny and helpful handbook, 101 of these mishaps come together so the reader can learn from other people's mistakes, saving them unnecessary grief and cash.
- Always use a spotter when entering or departing a campsite.
- Do a walk-around inspection before moving your rig.
- Never flush out your blackwater tank after dressing for church.
Practical and comical, this a great read for all RVers, both veterans and novices.
