Author, speaker and Master Certified Coach Marcia Reynolds asked herself the question, "How much of my life was I living on automatic pilot?". That's a door-opening question we must all ask ourselves, and the answer is found in her new, award-winning self-help book, Capture the Rapture. Indeed, if you are not leading a passionate, joyful life, this book is a must-read!
The beginning of Capture the Rapture asks the reader to self-examine life. Are we doing things i.e. keeping busy but not feeling satisfied---living in a horizontal world, moving from one activity to another? Or is our world vertical---using our senses to appreciate all that is around us---the sights and smells and touch of mountains and rivers; roses and lilacs; the softness of a partner. Marcia, using her own personal experiences (she lifted herself out of a world of drugs, jail and a total lack of self-esteem) and her education and experience (two masters degrees and two decades of successful corporate work) guides the reader to self-discovery, empowerment and thus joy and happiness. Her first step is visioning---a three-dimensional picture of our desires---a virtual reality- program of our own design!
The second step is covisioning---to include other people around you, bringing visioning to fruition, and then "...the commitment to your vision and a disciplined approach to its attainment." Step by step, page by page, Capture the Rapture leads the reader out of the past and even out of the present---to envision a future of fulfillment. Thus Marcia Reynolds has given us much more than a self-help book. She has given us the means to liberation.
In this reviewer's opinion, Capture the Rapture is a well-written, heart-felt path to passion and purpose!

A magnificent collection of tools to lift us up, and keep us "tuned-up" and "tuned-in" on the rewards life has to offer. Ms. Reynolds opens up a complete treasure chest of practical, easy-to-understand exercises that can be put to immediate use. Take it from one who needs levity training. This is one book I plan to share with my audiences and clients. A recommended read for all who want to transcend life's mundane side-lines and fast-forward into an exhilarating expedition.

Marcia's insight is advanced thinking squared! What a joy to experience the emotional ecstasy weaved into the words of this book. This book is a life-changer. Highly recommended.

Having the honor to read the galley of this book, I knew how great this was long before it was published. Marcia shares her soul and challenges us to be our best. I love her stories, examples and exercises - in particular, "The Beliefs Game" on page 67, which I plan to reference in our upcoming book "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul Journal." We are proud to have Marcia's opening story on page 23 adapted in our newly published book "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul." Marcia's book gives us the tools we need to incorporate quality and balance as drivers of our most important project - life.

Marcia Reynolds' book, "Capture the Rapture", transcends the realm of self help, propelling the reader into a journey of self-enlightenment with none of the trappings usually associated with the new age. Marcia shares her own life experiences, including a 9 month prison term at the tender age of 19, which led her to begin her own journey towards capturing the rapture.

Reynolds' book is engaging, intuitive and surprisingly straight-forward. She offers insight, examples and plenty of exercises to help the reader get started on their personal journey. "Capture the Rapture" is excellent for those of us who have been working on our personal development long before the Oprah revolution and for those who are just now getting started. Maybe it's Reynolds' work as a Life Coach that makes her so darn relevant. Whatever the case, her book is a must read for anyone interested in living consciously, compassionately and more fully in the world.

This is one of the best self-help books I've ever read. It's packed with useful ideas and exercises that are immediately understable. I could relate to the author as a real person. The book came at a good time for me in my life, and for others as well since I've been sharing the ideas with people every day. I recommend it to others as a book they should keep on hand for a quick fix when needed.

Divorce can be devastating, and divorce involving children can be worse. In K.C.'s new, enlightening and (often) politically incorrect book, Where's Daddy?, the reader looks at some inhumane divorce practices that adversely affect the lives of the children, parents, grandparents, friends---and everyone else.

It is an unfortunate fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce, and 43% of the children are left with one parent. "Why is this?" asks author and cultural anthropologist K.C., a nom-de-plume for a self-described common man. The answer seems to stem from our Northern European ancestry and our system of custody-access-support. In other words, its about our culture.

The author makes the case that while the husband-wife partnership may breakdown, the revised family structure that eliminates one parent (usually the father) should not. Where's Daddy? tells us that "...90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes; 80% of rapists motivated by displaced anger come from fatherless homes; 71% of pregnant teenagers lack a father; and 63%of youth suicides are from fatherless homes."

Where's Daddy? challenges the argument that women make better parents than men---and that's only the beginning of the author's controversial theses. We read, "If we want our parents to live up to the real sacred obligation to the children, free them to do so as best as they can. Each equally...we must stop turning divorcing a spouse into divorcing the children".

Eye-opening. Provocative. Argumentative...all these words describe Where's Daddy? And the words to describe author K.C. must be honest, heart-felt and knowledgeable. In this reviewer's opinion, you'll be a better person having read Where's Daddy?!
