/PRNewswire/ -- Your thoughts mold your lifestyle. They also shape your mental, physical, relational, and emotional health. Caspar McCloud and Linda Lange, authors of the new book What Was I Thinking?, ask: What shape are you in?
Presented in a reader-friendly discussion style, McCloud and Lange make a strong case that people must choose whether to follow the path of fear (stress) or the path of faith (truth). Understanding these links brings new insight to help people achieve healthier lifestyle results, emotional and physical healing, freedom, and greater effectiveness in life.
Filled with relevant Biblical passages, exciting personal testimonies and "Points to Ponder," this book provides spiritually enriched food for thought that can enhance one's life greatly.
"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established" (Proverbs 16:3).
Major intriguing themes include: the direct link between thoughts and physical health; brain functions; the importance of forgiveness; and a variety of concepts that keep many people from living in health and joy instead of bondage.
The authors have found that:
* Doctors are recommending this book to their patients.
* People are reporting being healed of a number of sicknesses and diseases by applying these simple life-saving principles.
* Marriages and business relationships are being restored.
* People are being blessed beyond what they thought possible.
Readers will learn easy techniques that will forever change the way they think and process information leading to a more successful, happier life.

Book Review: The Gulf Coast Oil Spill: Poor Little Pelican + A Kidreports Photo-Documentary
Last spring, the Gulf Coast Oil Spill had us all wondering about the oil gushing into the water and being brought to shore by either waves or storms. What effect did it have on the animals? How did our young children see this event?
A great new children's book by well known author Carole Marsh has just been released. This charming story unfolds at the beginning of the oil spill when some young pelicans are out on a morning's adventure. They soon find something is amiss with the appearance of the Dark Shadow and its effect on a young pelican friend.
Children will eagerly follow the pelicans' plight as they get a helping hand from the local children who are assisting the oil covered pelicans.
This story brings the headlines of the summer to a level where young children can understand the events of the oil spill on the environment. Followed by a photo documentary by a Gulf Coast girl named Erin, students will learn how our environment and wildlife were affected by the spill.
The book has wonderful reproducible activities for children as they explore the environment. Marsh has once again brought educators and parents a wonderful resource tool for our children.
The book is available through Gallopade International at www.gallopade.com.
