Pre-order available. Release date: October 1, 2019 Review copies became available yesterday. Contact editor@msipress.com for a complimentary copy in exchange for a review. Throughout history we have divided ourselves into groupings of “us” and “them”.   One Family: Indivisible  engagingly   invites the reader into the deeply spiritual and lifelong journey of the author to find a way to acknowledge our differences without dividing and subdividing ourselves into competing tribes.  It is a journey of mountain tops and deep valleys, but it leads to the inclusivity and mutual respect possible with Interfaith.  This is a book for seekers of all races, ethnicities, and spiritual paths who search for that elusive goal of a community of love and inclusion that also respects our diversity. About the Author . Steven Greenebaum directed church, synagogue, and UU choirs for many years before leaving to found the Living Interfaith Church, anchored by the faith of Interfaith. He has publis

One of the things I thought about only cursorily when I entered on this quest was what the cost would be.

Released Saturday. 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. #          #          # About the Author Larry MacDonald, Ph.D. and his wife Sandy have been RVing for over 30 years, the last 11 as
