BOOKS ON SPIRITUALITY



THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VAIL: SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE FOR EVERYDAY LIVING
This book is the result of a collaborative effort between Melinda Vail, an intuitive therapist, and Ellen Gerst. Ellen first came in contact with Melinda during her search for answers on her grief journey and, through a long association, the two produced this simplistic, yet fascinating book. Melinda takes a no-nonsense approach to spirituality and gives the reader practical information on how to heal his/her life. An easy-to-read e-book, it also addresses how understanding your childhood dramas can lead to making better choices as an adult. Melinda teaches her precepts through the entertaining story of her own life. To illustrate the concepts, each section includes personal interviews with many of Melinda's clients.

Visit the website of Melinda Vail for information on classes and special events.

Praise for Understanding Spirituality From A to Z

BOOKS ON DEMENTIA AND CAREGIVING FOR AGING PARENTS


UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA AND CAREGIVING FOR YOUR AGING PARENTS
This easy-to-read book is not an attempt to educate you on all the medical aspects of dementia, although they are touched on gently. Instead, it speaks to you from the heart and a personal standpoint. It lets you know some of what to expect and the emotions and thoughts you might have in response to your loved one's deteriorating condition. Most of all, this book was written to share a journey upon which I am traveling with one of my loved ones, from the first recognition that something was awry to the hard decisions that needed to be made to ensure her safety and proper care. A must read for the Baby Boomer who is now faced with caring for aging and increasingly frail parents.

BOOKS ON NETWORKING AND SOCIAL MEDIA

UNDERSTANDING NETWORKING AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ENTREPRENEURS FROM A TO Z

Understanding Networking and Social Media is a great introduction to 26 venues and concepts that will help you to find success in your business endeavors. Networking, or relationship building, lies at the foundation of your success. Ellen Gerst, speaking as a relationship coach, presents a slightly different viewpoint from many other books on the same subject. Concise and to the point writing alerts you to different perspectives on how to assess and utilize the social media tools available. Additionally, the book teaches you how to effectively network and present yourself to prospective customers in the best possible manner.

Praise for Understanding Networking and Social Media
"Ellen Gerst once again cleverly turns to the use of the alphabet in offering a smart and concise book on how to understand and participate in networking and social media. For any person who wants to market a brand and product, becoming part of today's new modes of social communication is critical to the success of one's mission. This book neatly and succinctly offer the reader support and expediency." (Elynne Chaplik-Askelow)
