While growing up influenced by the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Michael Jenison took the contents of the Bible to heart, and believed he would be punished for lust and sex. Inspired by the wisdom gathered from his global pilgrimages in search of answers and a spiritual overhaul, Jenison shares a detailed exploration of the Catholic Church's teachings regarding sexuality. He removes the guilt surrounding premarital sex, masturbation, and lust; and identifies a greater connection to God through polytheism rather than Christianity. While exposing the lies in the edited Bible and within long-held Catholic traditions, he discusses how mistranslations and prejudice have led Catholics and Christians to blur sexuality with immorality. He reveals what God really said about sex, and invites believers to escape the shame regarding sex, embrace physical needs and desires, and ultimately gain freedom from suffering.Freedom From the Roman Catholic Church shares a detailed exploration of biblical perspectives on sexuality while encouraging others to take their own sacred voyage to the truth.

There was a time when Eileen would have a pen and pad next to her night table and would write her dreams or any ideas that came to her during the night. One morning, Eileen noticed a candle and a prayer written on her notepad. She did not know what it meant. She prayed and asked God for clarification. One day her grandson, Andrew, who was four, spent a day with his grandparents. Eileen finished preparing lunch and asked Andrew to set the table and put the candle on the table. The three of them sat at the table and Andrew said the blessing. That statement, "Put the candle on the table" sounded familiar to her. Eileen prayed and asked God if that had any meaning.

The book teaches basic table setting. The child will be able to identify and place each piece needed for a perfect table setting. A blessing is said before eating each meal.

Thalia's family is at the center of this story. There were several critical decisions made by Thalia's parents, Donnie and Lorena. They were confronted with a traumatic reality that required perspective and patience, while fighting through moments of despair and sadness. It was Donnie and Lorena's determination that they would be part of the solution for their daughter that shaped Thalia's journey. It is Donnie's cousin, Lisa, who noticed Thalia's autistic behavior symptoms and delivered her initial learning therapy sessions. Each child that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum will have a different experience with the disorder. No two situations are the same. The following is Thalia's unique autism journey.
