Publish a Book! leads authors by the hand through the jungle of self-publishing companies, clearing up the confusing language and helping authors to focus on what really matters to them, including how to find: * the highest royalties * the lowest expenses * the best quality service * the most professional printing * the widest distribution.

Ever play a word game and need to find a word that ends in Q, W or Z? Most dictionaries present the word lists in alphabetical order, sorted by the first letter of a word. BackWords is unique because you're able easily search words using the last letter. Useful for school libraries, handy for building vocabulary for playing word games and completing crossword puzzles. Great gift-giving idea for those word games in your crowd. If you like word games, writing songs, or creating poetry, you will LOVE BackWords. As a writer, I am discovering this to be a useful tool and a valuable addition to my reference library. NOTE: Two reviewers said that the index isn't linking properly in their Kindles. We've since revised it to work with Kindle's "Active Table of Contents" and "Go To" guide items. If you have further ideas for making it even more useful, please let us know!

“For some time we’ve needed a well-researched, compelling introduction to this exciting field that focuses on the evidence. Miller delivers!” – Jeffrey Long, MD Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are flooding the media with books, articles and interviews. People describe hovering over their bodies, details of their surgeries, talking with deceased relatives, and reviewing their lives in vivid detail, often while their brains should be incapable of producing rational thought or memories. While the accounts are no doubt interesting, do they provide any solid evidence for the afterlife and the existence of God? Miller argues, in nontechnical and engaging prose, that it does indeed. He began his study doubting that NDEs provided such evidence, but found himself convinced by the weight of the evidence. In this multiple award-winning book, the reader will explore: 
<ul>
<li>The common naturalistic explanations for NDEs.</li> <li>Evidence that NDEs point to God and heaven.</li> <li>The results of 35 years of research into NDEs by doctors and other professionals, fully documented for those who want to study further.</li> <li>A comparison of NDEs with Christian teachings.</li> <li>Recommendations of key books, researchers, and publications for further study.</li>
 
</ul> “Can we survive death? Is there a God or a heaven? Miller provides the discerning reader with ample reason to think that the answer to these all-important questions is 'yes'.” - Dr. Peter Schaefer, Senior Research Psychologist, Department of Defense
