;The idea for Conversations with the Wise Uncle was inspired by a story the author's best friend told him. When his friend was 12, his uncle took him out for breakfast and told him what to expect during his teen years. He described the physical changes. He talked about peer pressure, risk-taking behavior and the consequences of sex, drugs and alcohol. Afterward, his uncle said, "Now I want you to promise me something. When your friends want you to go along with them and something inside you doesn't feel right, I want you to stop and think about what could happen. I want you to remember the things we talked about. Will you do that?" His friend said this talk with his uncle was the most important conversation of his life, that it helped him steer clear of all kinds of trouble during his teen years. The author's research confirms that few adults ever received such a talk when they were young, and today it's still rare for parents to do a good job of coaching their teens about what to expect. Since most parents didn't get the talk themselves, they don't have a model for how to approach it. There's a lot of ground to cover, and teens these days face different challenges. Most parents just don't feel prepared to give the best advice. Dr. Coates wrote this book to give teens an even richer "heads-up" talk than his friend received. It helps parents cover the important bases with their teen boy. It's a series of upbeat, engaging stories about Chris and his uncle Ray, who mentors him during adolescence. It features not one, but several conversations. The book can be used as a guide for parents to prepare for discussions with their teenager, or they can give the book to their teen to supplement these discussions. All the topics are critical, and some of them are addressed nowhere else. Taken together, the insights can give a teenager a significant edge as they prepare for a happy, successful life as an adult.

;The Republicans' 2016 presidential nominee is just one sign of a major political party coming unhinged. Look beyond Donald Trump's most outrageous statements, and it's not as if the GOP has a reasonable side with workable solutions for the country's problems. After a long career in Washington's foreign policy community and leading and taking part in numerous bipartisan initiatives, David Shorr eventually concluded the Republicans' main policy ideas were no longer credible. In I Call Bullshit, Shorr dismantles the false premises on which the Republicans base their entire approach to the economy, healthcare, foreign policy and voting rights. Four major Republican fallacies have skewed our political debate and made it harder to adopt sensible policies: the beneficent private sector job creators, laissez-faire healthcare, a globally almighty America, and phantom fraudulent voters. Only when Republicans stop getting away with spouting the same nonsense can the national conversation get onto sounder footing. From reading this book you will better understand how the fallacies distort our political discourse and be well equipped to call bullshit on them yourself.

;Is spiritual travel just astral projection or does God use it today?
Many Christians today say they are traveling into the heavens, but others are not convinced that "spiritual travel" is used by God. The reason could be that no one has provided convincing evidence showing how it is different from astral projection.
If you're uncertain whether spiritual travel is used by God or only by the New Age and the occult, this book will help you uncover the truth. The author compares astral projection and spiritual travel side by side. His research suggests that they are not the same thing. He provides a thorough examination of the scriptures which demonstrate that the prophets and apostles have been traveling in the spirit for centuries. Far from being restricted to the occult, spiritual travel is actually a tool that is intended to be used by God to accomplish His divine purposes.
With the same down-to-earth teaching style he used in Seeing in the Spirit Made Simple and Divine Healing Made Simple, Praying Medic provides Bible-based teaching, dozens of testimonies and simple illustrations that will help even the least experienced person understand spiritual travel. Exercises are provided at the end of key chapters to help activate your spirit.
Traveling in the Spirit Made Simple can help you in the practice of divine healing, deliverance, intercession and many other forms of ministry. But most importantly, it will help you know God in a more personal way.
This book is part of a series The Kingdom of God Made Simple - a self-study course designed to train believers to live the life offered to them as heirs of God's kingdom.
