Renovations To Enable
Aging-IN-PLACe
A tremendous housing crisis is slowly developing in America. Less than 1% of the homes in the United States have features allowing aging to safely occur in them. By 2032, over 68 million current homeowners will be unable to continue living in their homes, unless significant renovation first occurs.
In this book, we take increasingly concerned aging homeowners, and their equally concerned adult children, on a concise journey. We move from inside our society, to outside the home, then inward and throughout a typical residence. At each step, we examine suggested renovations that will enable our elders to continue using those spaces, even as age diminishes their physical and mental capabilities. Perhaps even more importantly, it examines how to set priorities, so such renovations can be done practically and without facing too much resistance.
This book is a resource guide to assist in planning facilities of all levels for aging, and at least in one aspect, making an inevitable future more enjoyable.

Book Overview
The Other Science
Using the Bible for Scientific Research
There seems to be a growing disparity between faith and science. Given the potential in both, it’s hard to understand why this should be. More than one way to comprehend truth exists within everyone.
A search for knowledge can be approached from a radical paradigm. Man could accomplish a lot more, a lot quicker, if science and faith worked together. There is much potentially beneficial scientific knowledge inside the Bible. An overwhelming certainty of God’s sovereignty and power arises from new scientific discoveries, especially when they validate previously doubted Scripture.
With this in mind, the author researched four very real scientific questions, mining the Bible for usable data.

Book Overview
The Parables of
Safed the Sage
Five volumes of deep parabolic tales from a deceased master
Theses volumes of parables are the collected works of the best parabolic teacher I’ve ever encountered, outside of scripture. In a style all his own, this preacher / philosopher charmed his readers for decades with his tales of ordinary life and family. Because I have so thoroughly enjoyed them, I did my best to transcribe these works that have long since entered the public domain. I thoroughly believe others can also reap of the wisdom of William E. Barton.
Book Overview
Selected Works from O’Henry
Five volumes of amazing short stories from a deceased master
Born in a different era, William Henry Porter developed and perfected the short story form and the pen name of O Henry, under which many of his most well-known works would be submitted. A very large number of his stories were revealed to the public in various newspapers and magazines. In these offerings, stories about everyday life incorporated playful and witty dialogue, and often utilized surprising plot twists at their conclusions. These tales have been enjoyed by countless readers of his day and since. In these volumes of his stories, though obviously dated, we can still find ourselves and our struggles with life today.
Five volumes of these short stories from O’Henry are currently available. The entire collection can be ordered for $75.00 plus $8.00 for shipping and handline, by contacting Paul Spite directly at paul.spite@gmail.com
