Free chapters from Herbie and Walt's book (Ch1 for next Tuesday)

Wow, thanks to Forest and Becca for this thread about Herbie's and my book.
We worked on it for nearly two years, which is a blink of an eye compared to the ten years or more
that Steve worked on his, The Great Pain Deception, but Herbie and I felt we had told our stories
and shared healing techniques that could be helpful, especially to those who have worked on
TMS a while and are not yet totally pain-free. Some of our suggestions may do that.

I'll check now to see if the book is available and the best way to get it. It's a little under 300 pages
with an extensive index, and in both paperback and in a Kindle edition.

I'll post again in a few minutes on availability.

Sincere thanks to everyone for their interest and support. We hope the book helps to spread the word
about TMS. We're sending a copy to Dr. Sarno in hopes he will read it and give his thoughts on it and
approval.

 

I just checked with the publisher, CreateSpace, and they said the book has gone through
the final editing process and will be available for purchase from amazon.com books
in 5 to 7 work days, so that means April 1, 2, or 3.

We prefer you order it from amazon.com books because they are the parent company of
CreateSpace books and will do the most for marketing it.

We aren't sure when it will be available at brick-and-mortar book stores but it will be.

 

Ill post again about the Kindle edition when I learn its availability.

 

Congratulations both with the birth of your book!! I am certain people will benefit from it. The contents look very promising.

 

Having read large portions of Walt and Herbie's book, I really, truly believe this. I am a Jew - a Reconstructionist Jew, at that. That's basically as liberal as you can get in Judaism. And -- full disclosure here -- I also don't believe in a "big man in the sky" sort of God. I do believe in something bigger than myself, something larger and greater than the natural world we live in. That's what I call having faith. And that is what this book preaches (pun intended ). Faith, not religion. Belief, not doctrine. These are universal themes, and important themes that help us overcome not only TMS but all adversity. Adversity's worst nightmare is the combination of faith and belief. For some, that is belief in yourself and your abilities. For some, it's faith that there's a light at the end of the tunnel even if you can't see it. But for others, belief entails looking to a higher power for guidance and strength. Having faith means trusting that God will guide them out of darkness. This is a crucial part of both Herbie and Walt's journeys, and they are not shy in conveying it, nor should they be. In the end, it doesn't matter, I don't think. This is, fundamentally, a book that describes the immense, immense power of faith and belief. How that faith and belief manifests is rather irrelevant. The healing lessons Walt and Herbie share in the book, however, are very relevant. These are two incredibly wise and rather remarkable people. We're lucky to have them here on the forum!

 

To quote Herbie, "Awesome!"... Congratulations on this important accomplishment.

 

I already have the book on my Kindle! I ordered it a few days and have been enjoying it! I can hear Herbie's soft Georgia drawl while I read the words. And now, I'll be able to hear Walt's gentle voice reassuring me when I read the parts he wrote.

Becca, I love what you shared. I think it's pretty cool that you're Jewish too. I've made a couple of friends on FB that are Jewish and I've really enjoyed learning more about that religion. I never hear the term "Reconstructionist" before would that be the same as a Secular Jew?

And yes, faith and belief….it's all a mystery regardless of how one approaches it.

 

I have the Kindle copy too! So excited for you both! Looking forward to reading your stories!

 

I'm glad you both have the Kindle edition of the book already.
I have a few corrections to make but nothing serious.
They're not our voices, though.

 

NorthStar and Pandagirl,
Herbie says it helps a lot if you both and others, after reading the book,
will submit a review of it to amazon.com books. Herbie and Steve say reviews
influence amazon.com a lot in helping them to spread the word about a book.

Thanks!

 

I will happily do that, Walt. I know how important those ratings are. I'll let you know when I do post. I have to finish the book first!

 

Thanks, North Star. It was great talking to you last night, even if briefly.
That sure was a terrific call-in.

The book may take a while to read and digest. No hurry.

 

Congratulations Herbie and Walt - I know we are all looking forward to reading your book. I'm sure everyone who does so will be happy to submit a review on Amazon to boost your ratings. I love Amazon!

I find that so many nowadays that I meet in my volunteer ministry claim that they are more "spiritual" rather than "religious." Understandably so, since so many are jaded from the hypocrisy they see in actual "religion." So I think it will be beneficial to have a book that touches on spirituality, as I think it will resonate with a larger audience out there.

 

Awesome Pandagirl, thanks. See the very reason I wanted to write the book was because I knew that it took more for me to heal ya know. Other approaches did help me for sure and I stand beside it for sure but I had to learn how to put this puzzle together that came with no instructions and that puzzle was all the tools I used to heal with. To make a long story short I didn't hold anything back. I told in the book every tool i used and how I used it to heal. I hope you enjoy it and heal with it, Bless you.

If you have any questions let me know here and I will explain it ok. If its not for everyone then just write me @ ericwatson3336@yahoo.com and I will answer any questions.

Thanks and Bless You

 

Thank You so much North Star. Remember if you have any questions. We're here ok.
Bless You

 

Awww, thank you so much tigerlilly. Awesome.

 

Thanks, Tigerlily. We speak more of spiritual than religious,
and I agree about the hipocrites. I can't believe most of the televangelists.

 

Herbie and Walt, You guys are just awesome!!!! What an accomplishment!!!!

I just started tonight to read the book. It drew me right in; I could not stop reading.
I related to so many things that were said. I thought you were talking about me.

Herbie, I love that you say you have to put this puzzle together with no instructions.
Isn't that sometimes how it is.

I will be such a privilege to write a review.
My Warmest Regards,
G.R.

 

Awww, thank you so much G.R. I'm lost for words. Keep reading, it gets better and better,
This book has a lot of insight for sure.
Bless You
