Place an order for Inspirators, a data cd that features videos, audios, short stories and ebooks that foster spirituality and creativity.  Just pop it into any computer that reads CDs and you will be to
watch silent video presentations (silent because many people prefer to play their own music to accompany the presentations)such as:

• Alan Jordan's Divine Inspiration - A photo essay that describes Alan Jordan's inspiration. Click here to play video...
• Rest, Relax, Rejuvenate - Affirmations coupled with photography.  Example
• Nature Scenes paired with Romans 15:13 - A verse of the New Testament, illustrated with photographs. Click here to play video...
  (Also comes in a printable PDF e-book.)

The CD also plays a number of short poems, and written resources that you can print out on any laser or inkjet printer.  These encourage reading, writing, and drawing. They also build self esteem. For example:

• It Will Never, Ever, Happen Again - A award-winning tall tale about Elvis. Check it out. It's fun!
• A Shirt of a Different Color - Another tall tale. Enjoy.

• The Poetry of Vehicles - Poetry that's built around photographs of cars in the Nevada - The photos were taken at Hot August Nights and in the National Auto Museum. The poem "Pure Gangster", page 11, was first published in Mobius, the Poetry Magazine. (If you're connected to the Internet, click the link on the left.) If you've ever admired cars, this short e-book is must reading. Dedicated to the memory of Shirley Howlett, a founding member of Black Rock Poets, a special interest group of Unnamed Writers, Reno, NV. (If you're connected to the Internet, click the link on the left.)
• The One-Soul Sharing 15-Day Journal for Adults and Children - (PDF) Fifteen days of journaling is not very long, but it can help one to discover themselves. This e-book may be printed over and over, allowing for journaling all year long. It is unique to my knowledge in that it sets up an positive environment. Try it.
• Poems to Tame the Monster in You - (PDF) 31 pages of poetry that are designed to soothe the soul and inspire creativity. It is appropriate for adults and children. Try reading them aloud.
  
  The data CD also includes these interactive materials:

• Constructive Questions for Living, Loving and Being - Questions that you can ask yourself to foster self improvement. Ask yourself these questions, and then listen to the answers.
• My Divine Inspiration - A multi-media DNL e-book into which you can upload your own philosophy about God, and e-mail it to anyone in the world.
