From us to you... the precious gift of freedom from your unbearable workload and space to breathe! What is the main thing that stops you doing all those things you'd love to do? That stops you trying a new idea, starting a new hobby, looking for new opportunities or finishing that long-overdue project. It's time isn't it? It certainly is for most of us. We're all drowning in work – never-ending to-do lists, constant deadlines one after the other, too many emails to possibly answer! If only some of that load could be lifted. If only we could find some space, some breathing room, some time to actually think. It would mean we could try new things, think creatively, do our best rather than just enough to get it done and off our plate. Certainly in work, business growth is dependent on creative thinking and innovation – you need time to do that. If you want to succeed in your career, or make more room in your life for the nonwork stuff, then you need to free up some time. And what's the key to finding time? Delegation. Let Gail Thomas teach you to art of delegation. Stop wasting your time on tasks you're overqualified for and see how you actually can focus on the important stuff. And you won't just learn how to delegate 'down' – Gail will also help you master upwards delegation. The Gift of Time includes:  How proper delegation can lead to a more successful career and a happier life Solid research into the value of delegation in real monetary terms An examination of the attitudes and barriers to delegation and how to overcome them Different types of delegation – not just 'downward delegation' but upwards and sideways delegation, silent and stakeholder delegation Articles by guest writers – experts in particular areas, such as parental delegation Case studies to illustrate exactly how effective delegation has been done to great results

Essays by ten contributors invite us to remember and respect the reality and variety of inspiration required for the fullness of humanity and community. The myth of Pegasus is presented as a mode of imagining the city and each of the nine muses is explored as a guiding presence in the diverse expressions of human creativity. This creativity is explored not only in the traditional realms of the arts, but in the domains of history, science, and popular culture.

Finding the Bear was the inaugural publication of Perugia Press, which publishes first and second books of poetry by women. In Finding the Bear, Gail Thomas's voice is that of Woman: lover, mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister. The reader will not forget 'Barbara Dying.' Above all, these poems are a celebration of life and sensuality: 'I can't remember the meanings for empty, frozen, gone.'

Winner of the 2016 Charlotte Mew Prize The centerpiece of Odd Mercy is “The Little Mommy Sonnets,” a crown of sonnets that carries us poignantly through the life and death of the poet’s mother, as well as their complicated bond over time. I was impressed with Gail Thomas’ dedication to craft, her richness of detail and especially her deft transitions from the end line of one sonnet to the opening line of the next. The challenge here is to repeat the line, but to make it new, to show us another facet, and Thomas does that so skillfully in these poems, propelling us forward through the narrative. Poetry uses words to convey what is beyond words, to say the unsayable. The last line of Odd Mercy expresses this paradox tenderly as the poet reflects on her mother: “your words/now gibberish, your voice always in my head.” —Ellen Bass, Judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize The stunning centerpiece of Odd Mercy, “The Little Mommy Sonnets” explores a complicated mother/daughter relationship that is turned on its head by dementia. “Did we find each other too late or just in time?” asks the daughter as her mother’s “sharp tongue dissolves” and her own “armor melts.” Beautifully written, heartfelt, generous, and forgiving, all the poems in this collection touched my heart deeply. Gail Thomas is a poet of tremendous talent. —Lesléa Newman, author of I Carry My Mother On Waving Back (2015) These are poems of authority and grace, alive with the pulse of desire and the mystery of our deep connections. —Joan Larkin Thomas brings precise observation and earned wisdom to poems in which the “bitter and the sweet entwine.” —Robin Becker

The story of Pandora is one of the most resonant in Greek mythology. As Healing Pandora shows, it’s also one of the most relevant. Psychologist Gail Thomas has used Pandora in her practice for two decades, often with profound results. Cast in popular accounts as the evil bringer of doom to humanity in divine retaliation for Prometheus stealing fire, Pandora, in Thomas’ view, is a much more complex character, with enormous healing powers as well as her better-known destructive capacity. In this revelatory book, Thomas shows Pandora’s true nature as the dark but all-giving feminine, the archetypal vessel of culture and city with the power to heal our culture. Pandora’s task is to help us transform our overwhelmingly material civilization into a culture of undivided participation and engagement. Part one discusses Pandora’s multifaceted persona as both beautiful evil and divine benefactress. Here Thomas contextualizes Pandora in the cycle of myth and archetype. In part two, the author proposes a series of healing rituals inspired by Pandora, including “Healing Our Fear of Sacrifice”; “Healing Our Dis-Ease”; and “Healing the Control of Patriarchy.” Both practical guide and inspiring study, Healing Pandora argues persuasively for manifesting our inner work concretely on the cultural, not just personal, level.

Gail Thomas, author of Healing Prayers in Jesus' Name for Children, along with her coauthor and her wonderful mother, Jean Castelow, wrote this book to glorify Jesus and to honor their Heavenly Father. This children's book, shows photographs of nature taken by Gail, taken where they lived together at Lake Seminole near Donalsonville, Georgia. Her mama helped her pair them with inspiring prayers, sent by the Holy Spirit in 2007. This mother-and-daughter team were together for four years, and Gail shares that her sweet mama became very sick and went to heaven. While there, Jesus asked her to help and encourage her daughter to publish this children's book first, since babies and children were so important to the kingdom of God. This book was Mrs. Jean's heart, and she sadly passed away on August 3, 2016. Gail is determined to have this dream come alive and was so happy to trust Faith Christian Publishing Company to make this happen to honor Jesus Christ. We pray it will touch anyone who reads them, especially children.

This book, Healing Prayers for Women in Jesus' Name, was written to let women know how much they are loved by God. After retiring from teaching young children, Gail and her mama, Ms. Jean spent over five years together worshiping God, reading the Bible and singing hymns together. Gail's dear mama became ill, and the doctors were not sure she would make it. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and they almost lost her. Four days later, she awoke in her hospital room smiling, and telling Gail that she had been with Jesus. Mrs. Jean was so excited, and Gail truly believed her. Gail's mama told her that she went to Heaven and talked to Jesus. He asked Ms. Jean if she would come back and help encourage her daughter to finish this women's book. She saw her loved ones, held her precious granddaughter she longed to hold, and agreed to come back, so that Gods will for them would be done!
Even though Jean passed away on August 3, 2016, Gail promised her she would do what Jesus told her to do. Thanks to Faith Christian Publishing Company, mama's heart, this book will be shared with many women. Mrs. Gail is so humbled by this book and prays it will touch women's lives everywhere. It is also Ms. Jean's heart and legacy! May God bless this book for women! Gail adds, "I learned so much during this time with Mama. I learned to be humble, more patient, and to stop complaining. I also learned that God's timing is always the best, and he will never lead you to do something for Jesus, without equipping you to do his will. Many human angels have touched our lives and we pray that they will be blessed. Our prayer for you is that you will receive a special blessing from this book and appreciate God's beautiful nature. We also pray that you will receive his salvation through grace, and worship him each day. He made you and he loves you just the way you are. We also pray that you will receive a special blessing from the Lord, and we pray you will be drawn closer to your Heavenly Father. Be blessed, dear woman. Jesus loves you! Your faith will make you whole!"
