A popular health writer gets down to the nuts and bolts of these superfoods—from almonds and quinoa to chia and hemp seeds. Nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are bursting with vital nutrients. Even just a handful is rich with vitamins, minerals and fats, all of which we need, and which team up to help your heart, brain and waistline. As little as an ounce a day provides invaluable fiber, protein, and immune-boosting minerals. Nuts and seeds contain mono and polyunsaturated fats, healthful fats which are essential to maintaining the normal structure of every cell in our bodies. Meats, full-fat dairy, fried foods and processed foods are where the harmful forms of saturated and trans fats are found. Research shows that diets high in these unhealthy fats can lead to a host of diseases. Choosing healthy fats lowers cholesterol and enriches cell development, growth and repair. Nuts and Seeds is “a superb treatise on the benefits of those foodstuffs” (Books Monthly). “If you want to add more nuts and seeds into your diet, reading this book can be very helpful. Also, diversifying both the kind of nuts and how they are prepared is very interesting and she highlights this in the book.” —Coffee and Books

Have you ever planted a seed? Have you ever thought about its amazing journey? For the seed to bear fruit, its roots must reach deep into the soil, absorbing the nutrients needed for the stem to grow upward searching for the sun. Before we, as Christians, can bear fruit for God's kingdom, seeds must first be planted. We must dig deep into the scriptures to feed off God's Word, which is necessary for spiritual growth. We can then grow upward reaching for the "Son." Thus, the title of this book: It's All about the Seeds. God often plants seeds inside of us so that we will be equipped to do the same in others. We cannot plant a seed that we know nothing about. This book takes you on a journey through real-life experiences and events where lives were changed through the planting of seeds into fertile hearts. Kathy uses scripture, questions, testimonies, and poetry as each seed is introduced, planted, and then harvested. Whether used as a personal or group Bible study, you will dig deeper into the scriptures to fully understand the power of a seed. Come and allow God to plant seeds into your heart so that you can plant seeds of your own. Then when you enter the gates of heaven on that final day, may you hear God whisper, "Welcome to my kingdom, my good and faithful seed planter. Come in and see the fruits of your labors." Never underestimate the power of a seed!

How many times do we wonder why we are ill-prepared for the darkness that tries to assail us daily and become victims instead of victors? It is all based on the soil/ground into which the seed of knowledge, the promise, the revelation is sown that determines what is done during the darkness and the results of our harvest. This book will disclose an understanding that the soil in which the seeds are sown is the condition of our heart at any given moment. We will learn how to always harvest a crop that will bring forth fruit some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred. Presently some of us are in a storm, and it is pounding furiously. We feel undone. Have we allowed the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, our finances, our children, our job, our country’s unrest, politics, etc. to overwhelm us? Have we forgotten our God is infinite, unlimited, and able to perform his word? God’s word is efficacious. If it is not performing God’s will in our life, it is time to understand the importance of our heart’s condition at the time the seed of knowledge is sown.

The book, Planting Spiritual Seeds and Uprooting Spiritual Trees: A to Z Prayer Points, is an inspirational spiritual book of prayer. This is a book that compares physical seeds with spiritual seeds, with the aim to enlighten the eyes of understanding of readers that nothing happens by chance. What you sow, you reap—both in the physical and in the spiritual. If you sow good seeds, you reap good harvest. Conversely, if you sow bad seeds, you reap bad harvest. Therefore, consciousness of the nature of seeds one sows and receives is very important because life and death are in the power of the tongue. Furthermore, the book teaches us to uproot what we do not want and establish what we want in our lives through prayers.

The heart in the Islamic understanding is the expression of a human being's spiritual existence. It is a Divine gift and Divine subtle faculty bestowed upon humanity. It is a polished mirror reflecting God. Like a general, the heart commands all other bodily organs and faculties, which are its troops, Everything that comes from a human being, whether good or bad, is a product of the heart. Mehmet Y. Seker, a scholar of Sufism and tasawwuf, studies the concept of the heart in the Islamic tradition looking at how it is approached by three prominent scholars and thinkers of Islam: Ghazali, Said Nursi, and Fethullah Gulen. Being the first in English to take as its focus the human heart from an Islamic spiritual, this book comparatively analyzes classical and modern age interpretations and evaluations on the concept and adds to the rich literature of spirituality in the Islamic tradition.
