First Edition Design Publishing Releases New Book, “Accidental Dad” by Joshua McDowell

Leave a comment

Accidental Dad, by Joshua McDowell, exposes the harsh realities of being a single father in today’s world.

Toledo, OH, USA — Joshua McDowell’s Accidental Dad introduces a single father on a mission. He believes being a parent is the most rewarding experience in the world. For that reason, he wants you to help him change the family court system. A must read for young fathers and potential young fathers alike.

Each year, millions of children grow up in fatherless homes, resulting in teen pregnancies, school dropouts, depression, and suicide. Each child wants, needs, and deserves to grow up with a strong relationship with both parents.

McDowell is not an expert in conventional terms, but he knows how it felt to grow up without his father, and he also knows how it feels for a single father to have to deal with the court system that can make a father feel worthless. He shares firsthand information about our family courts to provide a clear understanding of the bias in courts across this country against fathers who want custody of their children. Joshua McDowell is handing us all a challenge. Help McDowell change the world, and help bring loving, caring, good fathers back to the head of household!

“Contrary to popular belief, many single fathers are getting the short end of the stick. I dedicate this book to all single fathers who truly love their children and want to be a major part of their lives. My son is my life, yet there were days in court when I would get so frustrated, so angry, and so tired of battling the bias against fathers – against me – that I was almost willing to walk away from it all. Fortunately I didn’t, and neither should you. Never give up hope.” ~Josh McDowell

Genre – Child Support, Custody, Visitation, Fathers Rights

First Edition Design Publishing Releases New Book, “Secrets of the Lost Scrolls” by John J. Pietrangelo

Leave a comment

Secrets of the Lost Scrolls, by John J. Pietrangelo, speaks to the challenge given by Christ to Saint Francis of Assisi to Repair My Church which is falling into ruins.

Tucson, AZ, USA (February 6, 2016) — John J. Pietrangelo’s Secrets of the Lost Scrolls tells a story of stunning assaults on the Papacy which fracture the world’s religious sensibilities; dark secrets within Church history unveiled; and lost teachings in ancient scrolls rediscovered – harbingers of a spiritual renewal for a world at odds with itself.

Our story begins with one humble woman who makes her way to the doors of a living saint; a pilgrimage of supplication and prayer in asking for a miracle…a blessing of a new birth…which is granted. This begins a series of events that would eventually fulfill a number of prophecies made long ago by venerated saints, including Saint Malachy of Ireland and Padre Pio of Italy, ultimately leading to the transformation of the Catholic Church.

Destiny finds twin brothers, one a priest and the other an archaeologist, unexpectedly thrown into the fray, facing the challenge given by Christ to Saint Francis of Assisi to Repair My Church which is falling into ruins. When all is said and done what will be the outcome of this sweeping and tumultuous transformation? Will those who have been given the Keys to the Kingdom continue doing business as usual? Or will there be the undoing of wrongs imposed upon an unsuspecting humanity?

Author John J. Pietrangelo is a college graduate with a post-graduate degree. He has spent over fifty years researching and studying the multifarious religions of the world, along with music, psychology, philosophy and a broad spectrum of metaphysical teachings…and beyond. He is now retired and lives in Arizona. Secrets of the Lost Scrolls is his first attempt at writing a fictional novel wherein he has placed the distillation of countless hours of study and contemplation.

Genre – Catholic Church, Pope, Church History, Prophecies, Ancient Scrolls, Light and Sound Teachings, Surat Shabda Yoga, Spirituality, Law of Karma, Reincarnation, Repair My Church

New Book Release – Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports, by Jerry Norton

Leave a comment

Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports, by Jerry Norton, helps make sense of today’s youth sports and how to set it back on a course toward fun.

Ponte Vedra, FL, USA — Jerry Norton’s Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports is a look at the deplorable situation in youth sports through the 84-year old eyes of photojournalist, youth coach, referee and league administrator Jerry Norton. Norton makes the case that youth sports have become more about winning than playing and more about adult egos than kids’ enjoyment and participation.

According to Coach Jerry, the evidence is clear and the verdict is in. Adults–whether malicious or well-meaning–are deemed guilty of hijacking youth sports’ most noble and worthy objective–fun. Win-at-all-cost coaches and demanding parents with unrealistic expectations are responsible for horrific acts of violence as well as untold incidents of child abuse that have become common-place in youth sports. The long-time youth sports activist offers constructive criticisms as well as solutions intended to make kids’ sports fun again for all participants.

Stephen G (Jerry) Norton is the father of three sons and a retired aerospace engineer who spent nearly 60 years as a volunteer coach, referee, and league administrator and president. He is now a sports photojournalist covering youth, high school and professional sports. He has coached youth baseball, football, swimming, tennis and girls’ softball and has conducted clinics for wheelchair bound and Special Olympic tennis players. He is the founder and president of Junior Development League Football.

First Edition Design Publishing Releases New Book, “Reinventing The World, We Can Do Better” by Ben Korgen

Leave a comment

Reinventing The World, We Can Do Better, by Ben Korgen, highlights the stagnant repetition of ineffective leadership and how we can break free.

Hope Valley, RI, USA (January 24, 2016) — Ben Korgen’s Reinventing The World, We Can Do Better defines history recycling leadership spawning repeating cycles of prosperity, poverty, tranquility and violence.

This book suggests we can escape this by preparing political leaders for recruiting idea people, harvesting ideas, filtering out the best ones and subjecting them to worldwide referendums.

Humans will need fresh ideas. People tend to elect leaders whose image is a stable, solid citizen who can govern the ship of state with a steady hand on the helm. However, idea people usually do not make good leaders. Their most valuable thoughts pop into their heads at random in ways that prospective voters perceive as erratic and undesirable in leadership positions.

Science, engineering and technology have long histories of racing forward with little or no recycled effort. They have accomplished this driven by leaders who realize that maintaining the forward momentum depends on accepting the inputs of idea people.

This book addresses needs for a worldwide effort by offering a sample path for testing, adopting or discarding for something better. This path includes methods of world-scale recruitment of idea people, harvesting ideas, filtering them to winnow out the most promising ones and debating their value before worldwide referendums for approval and implementation.

Author Ben Korgen has had a highly varied career. He served in the US Navy, earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Minnesota Duluth, earned a master’s degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, then coached high school football, earned a PhD in Oceanography at Oregon State University and had a long and rewarding career in Oceanography at the US Naval Oceanographic Office, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Tulane University in New Orleans.

Genre – History-Recycling Leadership, Idea People, Idea Creation, Idea Sorting, Linking Ideas to Leadership

The Courts of Garrowville, by Ken Siegel, races against time as an innocent man charged with murdering his wife must track down the true killer.

Boynton Beach, FL, USA (November 3, 2015) — Ken Siegel’s The Courts of Garrowville resides in the quiet, peaceful town of Garrowville, Pennsylvania. It is a town of very little crime and no homicides until the tragic murder of Jennifer Stohler, a beloved member of the community. Almost immediately, Michael Stohler, the victim’s husband, is presumed by seemingly everyone, including the Garrowville police, to be the murderer. Gossip, circumstantial evidence, and sensationalist media coverage continually feed that presumption. There is just one problem. He didn’t do it.

But who did? While the police and district attorney are focused solely on the arrest and conviction of their presumed culprit, Michael Stohler hires an attorney to defend him and an investigator to find out what really happened. The race against the clock is on. As the drama in the courthouse is unfolding, will the real killer be identified in time before Michael Stohler is wrongfully convicted of the murder?
