The Food Good Cookbook

The ultimate cookbook for healthy eating, portrayed in reimagined and lightened comfort food, by Jim Mumford, creator of Jim Cooks Food Good. To Jim, food is a love language, and one of the only things in existence that can supply physical, emotional, and sometimes even spiritual needs (try his lasagna if you doubt the spiritual part). The best things we eat contain a little love, and a little balance. The 50+ recipes in The Food Good Cookbook are created with love and balance in mind. They are intended to be comforting, yet mindful of dietary and caloric preferences. The recipes are meant to be cooked with minimal fuss yet are full of opportunities to try something new. These elements are the heart of what truly encompasses Healthy Comfort Food.

The Gift of God's Heart

The Gift of God’s Heart is a continuation of the ‘The Gift…’ series, which began with The Gift of God’s Word. 

This new collection of inspirational poetry contains 41 spiritual poems, inspired and realized from scripture in the books of Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, John, 1st John and Revelation.

It takes us on an intriguing, revealing, and challenging poetic journey to find and explore through God’s Biblical treasure map the beguiling and rich trove of God’s heart. Once found and opened, we are richly blessed to discover, know, and receive the abundance of God on a deeply personal level at the core of His heart.

We, then, are better equipped to understand and receive His deep, passionate love for us and, thus, share it more abundantly with others. The journey to find The Gift of God’s Heart is an extremely powerful, motivational, and devotional trek through God’s Word to find God’s heart.

The Gift of God's Word

“Oh, Lord, tell me!

How was His body when He ascended to Your heavenly center?

Was He brightly magnificent in holiness prepared to heaven enter?

Was He clothed in purity and devotion, though stripped by our sin?

Was He wearing goodness and sanctity as He entered therein?”

From the poem “His Body,” the eminently spiritual poetic verse from the pen of D. Ferris Arfaa contains the meaning and effect for which so many people are searching today.

Guided by the intent of divine inspiration, the author’s collection of verse, The Gift of God’s Word, is just that: a magnificent gift!

Realized from scripture, this book contains poems that reflect on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ as revealed in the gospels of Luke and Matthew.

They are invented to uplift, educate, and illuminate God’s love and the power of faith, while establishing and understanding the way toward salvation. And that’s the best gift of all!

The Gift of Hope

Life as a survivor is far more than just cancer and treatment, life or death.

It is a battle for your sanity, a search for power, a dedication to hope, and an attempt to live whatever time ends up being allotted without succumbing to fear.

The Gift of Hope is the intersection of that survival with what it means to be a mother and doctor in these challenging and ever-changing times.

Within that journey lies the meaning of perseverance, the worthiness of the fight, and the difference that love makes.

The Golden Hour

How did the old Chinese restaurants become so ubiquitous in American culture? Prior to the 1980s, over 40,000 Chinese-American restaurants supplied the USA with dishes like Egg Foo Young, Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken Chow Mein, and Moo Goo Gai Pan. All these iconic dishes were Americanized versions of Cantonese foods. This book describes how this phenomenon took place and contains over 150 recipes so that you can replicate the dishes of The Golden Hour Restaurant.

The Golden Hour is representative of these historic restaurants which not only prospered in large cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas, but also in small towns like Turlock, where The Golden Hour was located in California’s agricultural Central Valley. These old Americanized Chinese restaurants have largely been replaced by more authentic Chinese cuisines. These older dishes and restaurants are on the verge of extinction as the subsequent generations growing up in these restaurants sought other professions. This book presents the culture, stories, and the recipes of this phenomenon.

The Good, The Bad, and the Tragic

This is Don’s third book of adventure tales. But unlike his first two books, The Idling Bulldozer and The Seventy-Thousand Dollar Outhouse, which focused exclusively on kayaking, the tales in this volume go beyond kayaking to include adventures on the land and in the air, finally ending with a tragic story that gives the book its name. Through these stories, the author has shown that adventures are not vacations, that sometimes things can and do go wrong, and that they may even end in tragedy. This is a powerful and immersive collection of stories which take the reader on a journey through the excitement and tragedies of new adventures.

The Gospel According to Me II

The author’s exploration uncovers writings about the remarkable ingenuity and creativity of God, who devised a means to disclose Himself to humankind. For despite extensive searching, the author found no rational alternative explanations. Moreover, prevailing concepts contradict scientific knowledge and lived experience – matter is not perpetual, and inanimate systems cannot create conscious beings capable of appreciation and intentionality.

So who then instilled consciousness, if not a Grand Designer? Seeking this elusive truth proves challenging indeed. Yet God simplified humanity’s hunt by establishing contact and even entering our world in person. To prepare people for His arrival, prophecies circulated foretelling the extraordinary events to come.

And upon appearing among us, God asked of us only one thing: “Constantly seek the truth. Do not let blinders be put on your eyes. And remember that you will not find the truth without love.”

The Greatest Treachery in Human History

The initial goal of this book was to discover the ultimate purpose and meaning behind the abductions of human beings into UFOs—the alarming reality of which is still hardly known to the public. But as this study developed, it led to a series of revelations which brought us to an unexpected interpretation of this phenomenon.

Indeed, it became all too obvious that there was a connection between these abductions and the absurd path that today’s human society is taking. More and more measures are being implemented that are threatening the health, well-being, and freedom of human beings the world over under the guise of ‘security’ purposes. Those responsible for this are not only our leaders, but occult forces--which are exposed in this book.

We were therefore led to unveil what we can indeed refer to as the “greatest treachery in human history”: extremely powerful dark forces have been acting on Earth for a very long time unbeknownst to our population. These forces, identified in this book, are directly interfering in the governance of our world and are directly opposed to the harmonious evolution of Humankind, putting us all in grave danger. This book sheds an unprecedented new light on how this all relates to the tragic events Humanity has been going through since 2020.

The Homicide Manifesto

The Homicide Manifesto is a testament of Cpt. Jose 'Pepi' Granado's (Ret.) many years of service within the law enforcement community, especially his insights as an investigator and supervisor of various Homicide Units. It's meant to be used as a guide for new investigators, supervisors, students majoring in Criminal Justice, Law, or a University's curriculum. Additionally, this book is a source of information that can augment any in-service training provided by law enforcement agencies nationally or globally. Individual investigators who desire to investigate violent crimes, attorneys, or citizens can use this book to garner better perspectives of how investigations should be conducted. As a Criminal Investigations Division Captain, Cpt. Granado realized the lack of training investigators and supervisors receive.

The JailBird Diet

Shaped by the unique stories of my time in federal custody, the JailBird Diet takes the reader into the world of incarceration that challenges the mind, body, and spirit at every turn. Out of the “shock and awful” of prison’s daily rituals comes a radical life change: the cleansing regimens, “superfoods,” and feeding disciplines I used to confront this new world and achieve radical weight loss. JailBird defines the tools of my diet journey that drove my 100 pound weight loss and shaped a new me.

Based on the food and activity logs I kept in my daily prison journal, the JailBird Diet also provides a week-by-week story of the journey from my first day of surrender to the last days when the pandemic and solitary confinement threatened to leave me just pounds from my weight goal. In so doing, it provides the tools to replicate this kind of weight loss in the free world.
