Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace..

Don't Sleep with a Bubba: Unless Your Eggs are in Wheelchairs
Celebrated humorist and columnist Susan Reinhardt hits another homerun with "Don't Sleep with a Bubba," the follow-up collection of wild and heartfelt stories to "Not Tonight Wait 'Til I"m a Size 6." In "Don't Sleep with a Bubba," she runs into her usual hilarious suspects: the dog that underwent liposuction of the "private parts," the drunk that got a DWI on horseback while getting a Happy Meal on his steed at the drive-thru, and her crazy sister's antics, which include painting her grass green in the winter, selling Jesus pancakes on eBay, and her outrageous pre-school teaching practices. While most of Reinhardt's stories are colorful and hilarious, she goes into a deeper side with this new book and reveals her horror with a date rape at a frat house when she was 17, and a nine-day stay in a psyche ward for a plunging depression. Vivid, candid and heartfelt, her stories will both entertain and inspire..

Accessible Home Design: Architectural Solutions for the Wheelchair User
What must I do to install an elevator in my two-story home? Can I retrofit my master bathroom to include a spacious roll-in shower? How can my flower garden be made more accessible? The architecture staff of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) has been solving these and other issues related to accessible design for decades. Accessible home projects have always involved intricate planning and design, but their construction is often compromised because builders are unfamiliar with the specialized concepts and techniques.

Each chapter addresses accessibility related to specific building components. Subjects include entrances, residential elevators and lifts, kitchen design, bath and toilet room plans, plumbing fixtures, grab bars, doors, windows and outdoor rooms, and garden paths.
