Told with raw honesty, faith, and surprising laughter, Chris’s journey is a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s ability to heal after trauma—and proof that even in the darkest moments, hope can still bloom.

The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time:

“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.

The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by John Russell

The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by John Russell

Do you believe that trees can communicate their feelings by…crying? Is it possible that rocks can communicate with us by writing messages to us on their surfaces? Can our beloved deceased pets return from the dead—in the flesh—to visit with us and assure us that their souls live on?

John Russell’s fourth book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock, is a collection of mind-blowing true tales of the supernatural. “What sets John Russell apart is his ability to blend his personal experiences with broader paranormal theories, offering his readers a firsthand look at psychic phenomena. His accounts are not just stories; they are experiences lived and shared, from eerie ghost encounters to life-saving messages delivered by guardian angels.”

Return with John to his youth, and ride along in the darkness while he runs his paper route on his bicycle and encounters a hair-raising and frightening otherworldly event. Was it Dogman? A Werewolf? Bigfoot? An angry ghost?

Read an incredible story of the Devil himself dancing with several women in a West Texas nightclub during Cinco de Mayo.

And then, there’s those pesky UFOs. Read about John’s own up close and personal encounters with these strange craft and his subsequent observations that have led him to draw distinct conclusions about their behaviors.

Did John receive guidance from the Other Side that enabled him to save the life of a young child? The chapter titled “Christmas Night Sky” will really tug at your heartstrings. And don’t miss the bizarre story of a snake that saved John and two of his buddies from a beatdown.

That’s just a smattering of the amazing true tales you’ll enjoy reading in The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock.
