Dr. Holliday Announces New book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY"

Dr. Holliday is releasing a new book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY." It is powerful, well written and a must read. The awakened part of the Church of today has now no doubt of the real existence of the spirit beings of evil that are attacking families while the sleeping church remains under the cover of the powers of darkness.

Jacksonville, FL - April 23 -- Dr. Holliday is releasing a new book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY." It is powerful, well written and a must read. The awakened part of the Church of today has now no doubt of the real existence of the spirit beings of evil that are attacking families while the sleeping church remains under the cover of the powers of darkness.

Dr. Holliday asserts in her new book, "Due to wide-spread pornographic material, many force their spouses into sexual perversions, leading the mate into deviate sex. However, in our day due to powerful sexual brainwashing by some churches, schools, televisions, radios and Medias, women and men have, in many instances, become willing slaves to sexual demons. Her research uncovers the spiritual truth concerning ruling evil demons over marriages and sexual activities.

Dr. Holliday cautions, "In order to understand the working of the deceiver-prince of this power of the air, and become acute to discern his tactics and his methods of deceiving men and women, such believers should search the Scriptures thoroughly to obtain a knowledge of his character, and how spirits of evil are able to possess, and use the bodies of people."

"These Marriage Breaking Spirits," she goes on to inform, "are principalities called Asmodeus, Osmodeus, Abaddon, Apollyon and Beelzebub that cause rejection, divorce and overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuousness, impurity and psychic activities."

She warns that there are serious consequences concerning "playing" with sexual demons. Dr. Holliday says, "These ruler spirits cause rejection, divorce and overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuousness, impurity, psychic activities and lose of faith. Due to wide- spread pornographic material, many force their spouses into sexual perversions, leading the mate into perverse, deviate sex. However, in our day," she says, "due to powerful sexual brainwashing by some churches, schools, televisions, radio and media, women and men have, in many instances, become willing slaves to sexual demons."

Dr. Holliday gives notice to the Church that the greatest threat today is the willing neglect of guarding against sexual sin. "Sadly, sexual evil is prevalent even among Christians leadership and perhaps no other area in the life of a believer where he or she is more vulnerable to spiritual attacks than the area of his or her sexuality."

She believes that the Church must understand the power of deliverance. "Sadly, sexual evil is prevalent even among Christians leadership," she asserts, "and perhaps no other area in the life of a believer where he or she is more vulnerable to spiritual attacks than the area of his or her sexuality."

Sexual Magic ~ Sex In The Ministry:
Dr. Holliday goes on to express her concern for Church leaders, "Standards are collapsing in the pulpits. Just before a former pastor of a Christian Church was arrested and charged with capital sexual battery in 2006, another associate pastor and counselor resigned or fired from the staff. The church leadership had been warned of the associate pastor's sordid past in North Carolina, but they hired him anyway! The Church critics consisting of former and present members want to know how the cavalier, even reckless, disregard for innocent youth can be justified by ministers of the Gospel. Church leaders are to protect the sheep from preying wolves not pay wolves to ravage the sheep. Sexual predators should be in prison, not the pulpit."

She writes, "Today there is a special attack of deceiving spirits upon the Christian Church. She considers that this is a deliverance manual that will explain how demons that are engaged and operate." She reveals that the awakened part of the Church of today must now have no doubt of the reality of the existence concerning evil spirit beings and that the Church has the spiritual keys to the power of solution.

"This is a book," she says, "that challenges the church to awaken from its spiritual slumber that there is an organized realm of supernatural powers, set up in opposition to Christ, and His kingdom, bent upon the eternal ruin of every member of the human race; these believers also know that God is calling them to seek the fullest information for withstanding and resisting these enemies of Christ and His Church."

Dr. Holliday believes that, "Today there is a special onslaught of (Chaotic sexual) deceiving spirits released upon the Church which is the fulfillment of the prophecy the Holy Spirit expressly made known to the Church through the Apostle Paul, 'that a great deceptive onslaught would take place in the "later times.' Since the utterance of the prophecy, more than two thousand years have passed by but the special manifestation of evil spirits of deception today, points unmistakably to the fact that we are at the close of the age."

Dr. Holliday demonstrates that Satan is sending his agents into the Church to cause ministers to fall into sexual sins. "Leaders must make special efforts to guard against "opportunities", she cautions "while counseling people of the opposite sex or with sexual problems, could find themselves in compromising situations."

Dr. Holliday cites the following incident, "A pastor that I know received a hysterical call from a woman who was in his congregation. He agreed to make a "house call." Fortunately for him, he took his wife along because when the woman opened the door, she flung her robe open and he was face to face with this Jezebel spirit. The pastor's wife stepped in front of him and when the seductress woman saw the wife, she slammed the door shut. Satan will lay all kinds of traps to make you fall into sin. Be careful."

"If you have fallen into sexual sin, you must submit to deliverance," says Dr. Holliday. "You have subjected yourself to demonic powers and you must repent confront the demons through the power of Jesus Christ to deliver the demons and their control. When you invite a devil in, you have to kick him out."

Dr. Holliday writes, "These demonic spirits are responsible for divorce and the source rejection of sexual genders and characteristics, such as -- overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuous, impurity and psychic activities. Asmodeus wars against all marriages, also keeps many from getting married. He is "king of the demons", and sometimes equated with Abaddon, Apollyon and Beelzebub. He is known as the "angel of the bottomless pit." And in the last days this spirit will take on the form of frogs and locusts."

"Remember this is not fiction but a true drama in the Christian Church. Sexual Magic in the Ministry is real and it is on the rise and it is widespread and happening now!" says Holliday.

Real Estate Deals Found Thrill Homebuyers

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:50:00 +0000

Homebuyers are Thrilled with the Deals to be Found through the Latest Real Estate Trend to Hit California-An Online Auction

With low minimum bids and increased FHA loan limits, homebuyers are racing to get an amazing deal on a brand-new, luxury home in the California Central Valley with the click of a mouse. The Freedom Realty Exchange, the nation's leading online home auction website, is offering more than 60 gorgeous new homes in Gridley, Lathrop, Madera and Kerman on www.FRE.com/193R4. With about two weeks until the bid deadline, interested homebuyers are encouraged to visit the website and register to participate in the online auction as soon as possible.

Newport Beach, CA - March 27 -- A new luxury home valued at more than $700,000 for a buck seems too good to be true, but that really was the starting bid for several of the homes in an online auction currently on the Freedom Realty Exchange website (www.FRE.com/193R4). With about two weeks until the bid deadline, prospective homebuyers are jumping on the bandwagon and bidding to get a deal on one of more than 60 brand-new, luxury homes located in several cities across the California Central Valley.

The online auction includes 15 homes in Gridley, a quaint community between Chico and Yuba City; 18 homes in Lathrop, a short commute from the San Francisco Bay Area; and a total of 29 homes in Madera and Kerman, quiet suburbs just outside of Fresno.

Though originally priced as high as $715,000, the Freedom Realty Exchange, which is part of the LFC Group of Companies, the nation's premier online real estate auction marketing firm, is offering these homes with minimum bids as low as $140,000, in addition to the model homes that started at $1. Although most of these model homes are no longer going for their $1 minimum bids, their current high bids are considerably low, so interested homebuyers can still purchase one of these homes at a steal if they act fast.

More exciting news for homebuyers is the recent announcement by the Federal Housing Administration that FHA loan limits in these Central Valley counties have increased significantly, affording potential homebuyers an even better opportunity to buy a new home.

The spacious homes feature three to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms, and range from approximately 2,000 sq. ft. to over 3,500 sq. ft. Many of these beautifully crafted homes are fully-upgraded and include attractive features like hardwood floors, granite countertops, central air conditioning, energy efficient windows, recessed lighting and walk-in closets.

"What differentiates these homes from all of the competition out there is that they have been built to the highest standard of quality," says Kelly Lovegrove, Director of Operations at the LFC Group of Companies. "We have received rave reviews from prospective bidders who have gone out to visit the properties over the past few weeks. They have expressed how beautiful these homes are and even compared them to 'celebrity' houses," continues Lovegrove.

There has never been a better opportunity to get a deal on that new, luxury California home you've always dreamed of. Forget wasting an entire day at a foreclosure auction in a hotel ballroom or convention center, this online auction makes it simple and convenient to purchase a gorgeous new home at a great price. The bid deadline is Thursday, April 10, so there is still plenty of time for interested buyers to visit the homes, prequalify for financing and place a bid with the click of a mouse. For more information and to register to participate in the online auction, go to www.FRE.com/193R4.

Web Site Protects Home Renters When Foreclosure Crisis Threatens

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:49:00 +0000

Foreclosure Crisis Threatens Potential Home Renters But One New Web Site Offers Protection

Many looking for rental homes risk costly problems and future evictions without realizing it, but CheckForForeclosure.com has an easy solution.

Los Angeles, CA - June 28, 2008 -- Alarming numbers of would-be home renters sign expensive leases and rental agreements not knowing that the homes they are about to rent are already in foreclosure. Fortunately, people who are searching the classifieds for a rental home can take advantage of a new service and Web site - CheckForForeclosure.com, Giving Renters the Notice they Need (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) - that provides access to inside information about potential landlords and lets would-be renters know if they are about to walk into a trap.

The newest tragic twist in the nationwide mortgage and housing crisis is creating havoc and distress for many unwary consumers. Very few people who shop for a rental home are even aware of the growing problem, and fewer still know how to protect themselves from signing up for a disaster when they go out to look for a rented or leased home, condo, or apartment. In some cases those who sign new leases are evicted within days of moving into a home or apartment - without refunds of payments or deposits.

CheckForForeclosure.com was created by knowledgeable real estate industry professionals to specifically address the needs of consumers who might otherwise become ensnared in the renters in foreclosure crisis. Some classified ad pages in foreclosure-prone cities are riddled with listings for rentals that are - although innocent consumers do not realize it - about to be repossessed by banks and mortgage companies. Unless someone shopping for an apartment or home rental has the ability to look beyond the advertising hype and spin and find out which rentals are dangerous, there is no way to pick the winners from the losers. Looking for a rental becomes a game of Russian roulette unless consumers take steps to get the information they need to make safe and informed choices.

Bankers and landlords are not required by law to disclose an imminent foreclosure to a renter, and real estate laws generally protect landlords and lenders while offering little help for victimized renters. That leaves renters to fend for themselves, so taking the time and making the effort to investigate the foreclosure filing status (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) of a potential rental property is a wise investment and a good insurance policy against foreclosure rental headaches and heartaches. In today's treacherous housing environment, it pays to take full advantage of services like those offered by CheckForForeclosure.com to ensure peace of mind for one's family.

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:11:00 +0000

''Heima'' Rated Top All-Time Documentary on IMDB

LOS ANGELES-- June 27, 2008 --Heima, the 2007 documentary film that chronicles a tour by Icelandic group Sigur Ros, has been named the number-one documentary of all time by widely respected movie industry source IMDB. Alan Calzatti, director of Musicians Institute's Music Video-Film-Television program, served as Director of Photography on the location shoot (widely praised for its stunning visuals) and the group later completed post-production on the film in MI's studios.

Since opening its doors in 1977, Musicians Institute (www.mi.edu) has primed over 20,000 musicians, producers, engineers, vocalists, and industry professionals for successful careers in every genre of contemporary music. Located just blocks from the Capitol Records tower, MI has an incredible history of innovation dating back to its origins in 1977 as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), which broke new ground as a performance-based contemporary music school taught by working professionals. Within a few years, GIT was joined by bass and drum programs to form Musicians Institute and the evolution has continued to this day with degree and certificate programs for career-minded guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, recording engineers, independent producers, guitar makers, music business professionals and filmmakers.

Sexography Tale of Survival and Finding One's Self

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:27:00 +0000

Phoenix Books' Sexography: a Triumphant Tale of Survival and the Journey to Finding One's Self

A new memoirs detailing the triumphs and tragedies associated with learning about one's sexual self, Sexography by Carly Milne opens a new door of discussion about surviving sexual traumas with honesty, wit and hope.

Los Angeles, CA - October 29, 2007 -- Sex may sell, but getting women to talk about it from the heart without theatrics and jokes isn't always the easiest task...and it's not hard to understand why. Women are plagued with issues about sex from birth, sometimes causing them to act out, other times creating feelings of shame and guilt -- and that's not even counting those who have suffered from various forms of abuse. One unique book seeks to change all that by ushering in a new era of intimately honest communication designed to deconstruct female sexuality. That book is Sexography, written by Carly Milne.

By turns serious and playful, Sexography maps the coming of age, tragedy and rebirth of one woman's sexual self. From "making out" with imaginary Hollywood stars in her closet (and getting busted) to coming to terms with abuse, assault and rape; from embracing her curiosity enough to become a sex toy tester to accepting and dealing with her tumultuous past, Milne paints a brutally honest -- and, at times, amusing -- picture of what it's like to learn about and experience sex in every sense of the word.

"At times my path has been dark, but what helped me through it was dealing with it creatively," Milne says. "I've seen and done some off-the-wall stuff to help me heal, like openly blogging about intimate details of my sex life, publicly experimenting or working as a publicist in the porn industry. And I'm not saying everyone needs to do what I did, but maybe what I went through can help others find their own path."

Milne's story begins in her childhood homes of Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where she began her journey with the typical kind of curiosity that all children have, doing things like examining her Barbies for some hint of genitalia. But soon she found herself faced with sexual abuse at the hands of trusted adults, which is where her story takes readers on a wild, amazing and sometimes painful trip that spans both Canada and the U.S.

Milne vividly recounts first kisses and first loves amid brewing trauma, sharing the inner workings of her mind as she finds the strength to battle through events that threaten to tear her apart. After discovering her likes and dislikes, marrying and divorcing, and finding a caring support group, Milne finds the courage to heal herself once and for all.

In an effort to further open the channels of communication about these issues, Milne has partnered with RAINN -- the Rape and Incest National Network -- for various fundraising events surrounding the book's release. Says Milne, "Working with RAINN is an honor. Part of the reason why I wrote the book is because I wanted to help other women who have suffered through similar experiences, giving them the change to find a voice and regain their strength. Being able to do that is worth everything I went through."

Whether you've been through similar experiences or just know someone who has, Sexography will change your mind about why and how survivors survive.

Senior Long Term Health Care Choices

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:53:00 +0000

Health Care Professional Publishes Book for Baby Boomers

Baby Boomers are expected to impact the US health care system for decades to come. A newly released report indicates the over-65 population will nearly triple by 2030, as 78 million boomers become senior citizens.

Fort Bragg, CA - July 10, 2007 -- "Boomers are just the beginning," notes Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association. "[They will change health care dramatically; [their mark will be lasting." The good news is that "boomers are focused on wellness and looking for new approaches to care." The bad news is that 6 out of 10 boomers will be dealing with more than 1 chronic condition by 2030.

According to health care professional Janet O'Connor, "Anyone over the age of 65 now has a 40% chance of entering a nursing home. More than 9 million people over the age of 65 will need long-term care this year. By the year 2020, it will be 12 million."

Ms. O'Connor has published a 207-page book for boomers -- Senior Long Term Care Choices: How To Select The Best Plan For Your Whole Family. It catalogues the full spectrum of available care, looks closely at resources, and provides essential information for making informed choices about long-term care.

What makes Ms. O'Connor's approach interesting is that she's integrated web technology, allowing her to deliver constantly updated, leading-edge advice to her readers.

"The challenge," O'Connor explains, "was to provide up-to-the-minute information that could be immediately accessed and easily updated. Publishing online allowed me to take advantage of internet technology. It's important to have easy access to the latest information and guidance when you're trying to set up effective long-term care."

According to Umbdenstock, boomers will be more active and focused on staying in their homes than previous generations. Senior Long Term Care Choices, provides detailed information that helps seniors maintain their homes. The book offers step-by-step advice on how to manage independent living, reliable home caregivers and find the financial support necessary to sustain independence.

Senior health care is a moving target. The changing demands of boomers along with new technology, will likely translate into new forms of care delivery. O'Connor's methodology is designed to keep pace with these changes. Senior Long Term Care Choices is downloadable and resource links are embedded in the text. As resources and information change, readers will receive free updates filled with new links and timely news.

O'Connor has 2 sites online: http://www.squidoo.com/care4elderly/ provides a host of resources, and http://www.help4longtermcare.com offers many additional articles.

"Ideally," says O'Connor, "the sooner you begin a dialogue about long-term care with your loved one and the rest of the family, the better. By broaching the subject in advance, you can make decisions as a family before you are forced by circumstances to decide in haste."

Seniors Using Equity for Retirement

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:53:00 +0000

More Seniors are Using Their Equity for Retirement Funds

As more seniors are tapping into equity to fund their retirements, companies like My Reverse Mortgage Pro are seeing a bigger share of the mortgage market.

Carlsbad, CA - September 13, 2007 -- While many mortgage lenders are seeing big slumps in their lending business, reverse mortgage brokers such as My Reverse Mortgage Pro are seeing their business booming. The reverse mortgage is a lending option for seniors over the age of 62 who own their home. This type of loan uses the home as collateral, and helps provide money for retirement which can be used for any necessary costs that arise during those years.

Reverse mortgage loans are definitely on the rise. Last year, reverse mortgages rose by nearly 10 percent on a dollar basis in the second half of the year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The total number of reverse mortgages rose by approximately 20 percent during the year, in fact, and these numbers are looking to repeat themselves by the end of 2007. Between 2000 and 2006 the number of reverse mortgages increased tenfold, according to the Federal Housing Administration.

My Revere Mortgage Pro is a group of lenders providing these important mortgage options, which more seniors are taking advantage of. This segment of the mortgage market is seeing tens of thousands of seniors taking out reverse mortgages each year - last year it was approximately 76,000 seniors, and lenders at My Reverse Mortgage Pro are sure that more seniors in the nation will be using their services this year.

More brokers are specializing in these types of mortgages to gear up for the increased number of reverse mortgage customers in coming years. The cost of living continues to increase while many baby boomers reach retirement, so more people in the over-62 age bracket are using reverse mortgages to gear up for their golden years. Reverse mortgages can be used to get a lump sum of cash, or monthly stipends for various periods of time. The reverse mortgage does not need to be paid back until the end of the loan, or until the homeowners cease to live in that home.

Americans over the age of 62 hold an estimated $4.3 trillion in home equity, according to a recent report by the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. With many baby boomers questioning whether they have enough money in their savings and investments to last through their retirement years, reverse mortgages should continue to grow.

New Book Offers Courage to Victims of Abuse

Author Amanda Young triumphs over her painful past in Silent Prisoner.

Las Vegas, NV - November 21, 2007 -- Silent Prisoner by Amanda Young examines the repercussions of abuse and inspires other lonely victims to change their course in life.

In Silent Prisoner, Young reveals her agonizing past, beginning with the abuse she suffered at the hands of her alcoholic parents. Her childhood was spent being tossed around between various relatives and foster parents, and she soon found herself on a destructive path that led her from one abusive relationship to the next. Ultimately, it was Young's faith in God, along with the help of some special people that helped her recognize her own strength and enabled her to reclaim her life.

Through this book, Young gives the power of hope, faith, and personal strength to other victims and encourages them to let go of the shame and guilt that is holding them back from truly living. Sharing her faith in God and angels, Young allows readers to see that they are never alone or unworthy of love from God.

To those who have suffered abuse, Silent Prisoner serves as a torch to light the way to a new life.

"Amanda Young has offered the reader an insider's view into the world of a victim of domestic violence. Her incredible insight and perception makes for an illuminating, touching and inspirational story. A flower that blooms under adverse conditions is truly the most beautiful of all." - Dr. Jeffrey Davis, Emergency physician and Director of the Palm Beach County Trauma System

Foreclosure Prevention Hotline Calls Double

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:52:00 +0000

Nation's Foreclosure Prevention Hotline Shatters Previous Call Records

President Bush's announcement encourages more than 140,000 concerned homeowners to reach out for help

January 15, 2008 - MINNEAPOLIS - More than 143,000 calls from distressed homeowners were fielded by the Homeownership Preservation Foundation's Homeowner's HOPET Hotline in the fourth quarter of 2007, twice the number of calls received during the third quarter and nearly 10 times that of the first quarter of the year.

The Homeownership Preservation Foundation (HPF) is a nonprofit organization that operates a national 24/7 hotline - 888-995-HOPE. The hotline provides free, bilingual, personalized assistance to help at-risk homeowners avoid foreclosure.

In December 2007, the HOPE hotline became the primary contact point for homeowners with delinquent mortgages, as part of the HOPE NOW Alliance, the Administration's initiative to stem America's foreclosure crisis. HPF is a member of the HOPE NOW Alliance of mortgage servicers, mortgage market participants and counselors. According to HPF, more than 37,000 homeowners received counseling during the fourth quarter alone - more than three times the 10,000 completed sessions in all of 2006.

"We're encouraged because more homeowners are being proactive in reaching out for help," says Colleen Hernandez, president and executive director of HPF. "Mindful of the significant call volume following the President's announcement, HPF established a triage response system that offers resources to those who need information and directs callers who need foreclosure prevention counseling right to counselors, allowing us to operate more effectively."

Among homeowners who called 888-995-HOPE, 31 percent were less than one month behind in mortgage payments up from 24 percent during third quarter 2007.

"It's reassuring that homeowners are addressing their mortgage issues earlier, however we need to continue to reach out to troubled homeowners to let them know there is help available," said Hernandez. "No matter the situation, HPF can provide options and information to keep more Americans out of foreclosure."

Key Statistics - Fourth Quarter 2007
