With Love & Light: True Story About an Uncommon Gift


Jamie Butler - 2009
    I have seen and heard spirits since birth and now I want to tell you what I have learned With Love and Light. Psychic phenomena is not an exact science. It contains portions of trust, faith, and love (intangible and immeasurable attributes). These undefinables provoke people to be explorers sparked by the mystery of spirituality, life after death, ghosts, and other unexplainable phenomenon. I know this first hand because my life has unfolded in an unusual way—since birth I have seen and heard spirits (clairvoyance and clairaudience). I have worked world wide as a psychic medium and channel since I was eighteen years old.My memoir, With Love and Light, offers a new, fresh, and youthful voice of psychic phenomena and recognizes the overwhelming public demand for connection and confirmation of the world beyond our senses. I creatively reveal the challenges of mediumship coupled with my most personal pivotal moments of living with this unique ability. This book covers how a family handles living with a psychic child, games that spirits play, my decision to assist others through my gift, and more. In contrast to the serious side, my book offers a candid and humorous discussion of spirits’ involvement in humans’ daily lives, including questions and answers that delve into matters not often discussed, such as suicide, invasion of privacy, location of spirits and death. Also, With Love and Light offers an opportunity to vicariously experience a mediumistic interaction through eleven diverse first hand accounts which depicts their connections with the spirit world through me.

Old Man on a Bicycle: A Ride Across America and How to Realize a More Enjoyable Old Age


Don Petterson - 2014
    He was in his seventies, hadn’t been on a bike for years, and had never ridden more than a few miles at a time. But, in May 2002, putting doubters—and self-doubt—behind him, Petterson headed west. Laboring against strong headwinds, struggling up steep hills, or coping with extreme weather, he sometimes wondered what in the world he was doing. But he kept going—the lure of riding his bike across the Golden Gate a compelling incentive. Ahead of him lay many challenges—among them, riding his loaded bike over the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada, crossing the Great Plains in brutal summer heat, dealing with the aftermath of a collision with a car, and traversing Nevada’s basin and range country and the Great Salt Lake’s desert. His rewards included passing through spectacular mountain forests, experiencing the aching beauty of the lonely plains, and viewing the grandeur of the West’s sculpted canyons and mesas. In Old Man on a Bicycle, the author relates how he prepared for the 3,600-mile journey and what he saw and did during the two months he was on the road. In addition he rebuts the misconception that aging invariably means debilitating decline and, drawing on certain events of his ride, offers research-based advice on how to ease the physical aspects of aging. It’s an inspirational account, emphasizing the importance of exercise to physical and mental well-being.
