"Welcome the Pain: The Life and Work of Master Acupuncturist Zion Yu" tells the story of Zion's early apprenticeship under his father, a renowned nerve and bone doctor. At the ripe age of seven, Zion was charged with caring for his ailing mother, who taught him the skills necessary to master the art of relieving pain. This memoir is a personal and detailed account of Zion's life, and how he acquired the skills that led him to treat some of the most famous people in Hollywood, including George Harrison, Natalie Wood, and Jane Fonda. Included in this story is the history of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States and how acupuncture became legalized. Zion's motto and guiding principle, "Welcome the Pain," enabled him to transcend fear and come to the other side, where true healing occurs-a gift he now wishes to share with others. "Zion Yu is the Miles Davis of acupuncture. Because of his work over the past twenty years, I no longer needed a stint put in my heart. My body completely repaired itself with his needle jazz!" -Stewart Levine, musician and producer "After Zion taught me qi gong, I conceived naturally at age 45. I was told by my doctors that my tubes were blocked and I would be unable to conceive. Now I have a healthy 3-year-old boy." -Jena King, Environmental Philanthropist

Sexy, tattooed and inevitably dangerous. Memphis is all that and more... I live for the pain; it's what drives me to keep moving. But there comes a time when one has to push the demons aside in order to survive. I thought I buried them deep. I thought I was ready to finally live. Until... my brother, Alex; he throws me into the fire-right into the place I could never control myself, the one place I never want to be again. When I put my hands on people, they get hurt. Things happen that bring me back to that night. The one that will forever torment me. I'm doing fine, keeping to myself in order to ensure no one gets hurt by me. Then along comes Lyric, and all I want to do is touch her, to put my hands in places that I know will only lead to her being crushed by me. She's the rush that I crave. The darkest of poison running through my veins, killing me bit by bit; like a drug I can't get enough of even though I'm almost down to my last breath. And being around her only hurts more, but what she doesn't understand is that I welcome the pain; I get off on it, which in the end leaves me with the hardest decision of my life-one that might get us all killed...

Merrily Watkins, parish priest, single mother, and exorcist, works for the Diocese of Hereford in a remote village on the border of England and Wales. Cozy? Not in the least. The elite warriors of the Hereford-based SAS know all about pain and the enduring of it. Syd Spicer, ex-SAS trooper, has found himself back in the Regiment, this time as its chaplain, responsible for the spiritual welfare of the hardest men in or out of uniform. Faced with a case which would normally be passed discreetly to Hereford diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins, Spicer is forced, for security reasons, to try and handle it himself, and is coming close to a breakdown. Meanwhile, the scattered communities along the Welsh border have their own crisis. With recession biting deep, urban crime has spilled into the countryside and old barbaric evils are revived. When a wealthy landowner is hacked to death in his own farmyard, the senior investigating officer DI Frannie Bliss is caught in the backlash, his private life in danger of exposure. With the framework of her own world beginning to crack, Merrily is persuaded to venture into areas where neither a priest nor a woman is welcome to unearth secrets linked with the border's pagan past—secrets which she knows can never be disclosed.

Your traumatic past may just be the fuel you need to soar!In Baked in Pain, Amanda takes readers through the emotional roller-coaster, which was her life growing up in apartheid South Africa. A product of abandonment and rejection, she goes very deep in narrating the abuse she suffered as a child and the negative scripts that were fed to her over the years. She further explores, supported with research the way these messages can be internalised and become the truth. She flips the lid on what is expected of victims of abuse and challenges the notion of "once abused always abused" as she reflects on her own life as a mother, wife and an internationally celebrated business woman. What would happen when Amanda finally summonses the courage to break free from her old life, in search of a relationship with her mother and a brighter future? Would she find what she's looking for? Amanda's candid recollections bare her soul, the deep faith and courage that carried her from her earliest days as a young child to her current life. It is an applaudable universal story. In a time where all forms of abuse remain rife, this book provides incredible inspiration and lessons that will motivate the reader to use their traumatic past as the fuel they need to soar and live a life filled with purpose and to be of service to others.Buy your copy of Baked in Pain today!
