God's Real Name In New Testament: New English Bible Translation Released
The organization has prioritized translating the Bariyt Hadash after identifying significant challenges with existing versions. The new project is an expansion of translation efforts that began over three decades ago with research into the earliest available scriptural texts. To learn more about the Truth Scriptures translation project, go to https://www.promotethetruth.com/ Promote The Truth identified that most English Bible translations contain inaccuracies stemming from Greek, Latin, and Pharisaic influences. These translation layers accumulated over centuries, with each version moving further from the original Hebrew and Aramaic source material. The organization's research revealed that the Creator's Name YAHUAH appears thousands of times in ancient manuscripts but has been systematically replaced with generic titles in modern versions. The translation approach differs fundamentally from conventional Bible production. Rather than working from Greek translations that already altered the original text, the project goes directly to Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts. Researchers spent years verifying textual sources and cross-referencing manuscript evidence before beginning translation work to avoid interpretive additions that are sometimes common in Greek-based versions. "Most people don't realize that knowing and calling on the Creator's Name is connected to salvation according to the Scriptures themselves," a spokesperson for the organization explained. The organization's research indicates that the Name was written by the Creator on the Ten Commandments and appears more than 6,800 times in original scriptural texts. The pronunciation—Yahoo-Ah—has been preserved through historical linguistic analysis. The book is available in a softcover edition, which features and flexible binding designed for daily study and portability, and the layout and font selection prioritize readability for extended study and reading. About Promote The Truth Promote The Truth operates from Manchester, United Kingdom, and its research is available through multiple platforms. The organization offers a Scripture-based podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Audible and additional resources, including a YouTube channel, Telegram channel, and educational content on the website.

Scott MacWherter Announces New Book "Make It a Life of Adventure"
Scott MacWherter’s "Make It a Life of Adventure" Offers Practical Insights for Living Boldly In today’s world, many people feel trapped in routines and weighed down by the pressures of modern life. For those seeking a way out, Scott MacWherter’s new book, Make It a Life of Adventure , offers a path to freedom through embracing a mindset of courage and curiosity. MacWherter, an adventurer whose experiences range from serving in the US Marine Corps to working on luxury cruise ships, combines personal anecdotes with research-backed advice to inspire readers to break free from fear and pursue a life of adventure. An Adventurer's Journey of Self-Discovery MacWherter’s adventurous spirit was forged in the crucible of diverse experiences. After enlisting in the US Marine Corps just days after high school, he embarked on a journey that led him to travel to over 45 countries, later working on luxury cruise ships. But his path to writing Make It a Life of Adventure was not without its challenges. A traumatic experience of being robbed at gunpoint led him to struggle with PTSD. However, MacWherter used this adversity as a catalyst for growth, seeking therapy and finding healing through outdoor adventures. “I didn’t realize how transformative adventure could be until I experienced it first hand,” said MacWherter. “It became the tool I needed to overcome fear and anxiety, and I want others to discover the same power that adventure offers.” Through his personal journey, MacWherter shares how embracing new challenges, big or small, can lead to profound changes in one's mindset. His book highlights how overcoming fear, whether through outdoor exploration or other personal challenges, can unlock courage and resilience. A Unique Perspective on Adventure and Mental Health In a market saturated with self-help books focused on extreme sports or extreme risk-taking, Make It a Life of Adventure offers something different. Instead of glorifying extreme feats, MacWherter's book presents adventure as a tool for personal development. His approach blends adventure, psychology, and neuroscience, making his insights accessible to anyone, regardless of physical ability or experience level. "Adventure isn’t just about scaling mountains or bungee jumping; it’s about cultivating a mindset that allows you to live with intention and purpose," MacWherter explained. "My book shows readers how to take manageable risks, confront their fears, and adapt to the unknown." The book features ten thematic chapters, each offering actionable strategies for overcoming fear, developing resilience, and tapping into one’s inner courage. MacWherter draws on his own experiences, from surviving a parachute malfunction to diving into the unknown, to illustrate how anyone can apply these principles to their own life. Scientific Support for Adventure’s Healing Power Research supports the idea that engaging in adventure activities can significantly reduce anxiety and stress. A study conducted by Talker Research revealed that 27% of Americans feel stuck in life, and more than 60% admitted to needing an adventure this year. Furthermore, the growing body of evidence suggests that outdoor activities and adrenaline-based sports are effective tools for managing fear and anxiety. MacWherter’s book aligns with this research by incorporating scientific principles into its practical advice. For example, he explains the Adrenal Response, also known as the Acute Stress Response, and how understanding and managing this natural reaction can help create "flow states" where fear is transformed into improved performance. From Fear to Freedom: Why Adventure is the Answer The core message of Make It a Life of Adventure is simple: Adventure is not just about the destination; it’s about the mindset. MacWherter urges readers to reclaim their sense of curiosity and rediscover the joy of living boldly. His experiences and lessons serve as a powerful reminder that we can all find freedom and fulfillment by stepping outside our comfort zones. MacWherter concludes, “Adventure is about rediscovering a sense of wonder that we often lose as we grow older. It’s about reconnecting with our courage, taking risks, and embracing the unknown with an open heart.” About Scott MacWherter Scott MacWherter is an author, adventurer, and advocate for living life without fear. After serving in the US Marine Corps, he went on to work aboard luxury cruise ships, traveling to over 45 countries. His personal journey of overcoming PTSD through adventure and self-discovery led him to write Make It a Life of Adventure , a book that combines memoir, psychology, and practical advice for anyone seeking to break free from fear and live a more adventurous life. MacWherter currently resides in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and daughter, and continues to inspire others with his message of resilience, personal growth, and the transformative power of adventure.

Inside the Mind of J.D. Barker: on Storytelling, Success & Staying Ahead
Acclaimed author J.D. Barker is capturing the imagination of readers and critics alike, redefining what it means to write a thriller in today’s literary landscape. Known for his heart-pounding suspense and unforgettable characters, Barker’s novels have become must-reads for anyone who loves to be kept up past midnight, anxiously turning pages to discover what happens next. From Ghostwriter to Bestseller Barker’s journey to literary stardom began in the shadows as a ghostwriter , where he honed his storytelling craft before stepping into the spotlight with his debut novel, Forsaken (2014). The book earned a Bram Stoker Award nomination, marking Barker as a rising star in the horror genre. His breakthrough came with The Fourth Monkey (2017), a gripping thriller that brought him major publishing contracts with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and HarperCollins. Barker brings a fresh approach to suspense fiction, combining the fast pace and high stakes of classic thrillers with the emotional resonance of literary fiction. “My objective is always to allow readers to take control of the story,” Barker says. “If they think they are outpacing the characters, I’ve accomplished my task. Even better if they feel confined within the character’s mind.” His signature style features rapid pacing, short cliffhanger chapters, and multiple perspectives, ensuring readers are fully immersed. Barker’s stories often explore moral ambiguity, blurring the lines between good and evil, and leaving a lasting impact long after the final page.

Whether working solo or co-authoring with industry giants like James Patterson (The Writer, 2025) and Dacre Stoker (Dracul), he consistently delivers stories that resonate. Rather than seeing collaboration as a compromise, Barker describes it as a “symbiotic” process that brings out the best in all involved, as seen in Dracul, where historical research and thriller expertise combined seamlessly. Personal Mission with a Purpose Barker’s openness about his Asperger’s Syndrome has only deepened the authenticity of his storytelling, enriching his characters’ perspectives and voices. His commitment to social good is evident: recently, he donated 500 copies of Behind A Closed Door (2025) to the Prison Book Program, supporting literacy efforts across more than 1,000 U.S. correctional facilities. Through his publishing initiative, Hampton Creek Press, Barker is championing authors' creative authority while partnering with leading publishers such as Simon & Schuster.

Bigelow and Oppenheim’s A House of Dynamite Realism Questioned by Author of Five Nuclear War Strategy Novels
Following the release of Netflix’s nuclear thriller A House of Dynamite, former judge and legal scholar Thomas J. Yeggy , author of five novels addressing U.S. nuclear war strategy, has published a detailed technical and narrative analysis questioning the film’s claims of realism and authenticity in depicting a nuclear missile crisis. Released on October 24, 2025, A House of Dynamite, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Noah Oppenheim, presents a fictional scenario involving a single missile launch toward the United States and the compressed decision-making timeline facing national leadership. While the film positions itself as a realistic portrayal of nuclear command and control, Yeggy argues that key technical, strategic, and procedural elements diverge from established facts. Yeggy’s analysis identifies multiple discrepancies, including the use of outdated missile detection systems, inaccurate flight timelines, and implausible command structures. He notes that the film relies on Defense Support Program satellites that have largely been replaced by Space-Based Infrared System satellites, which provide faster detection, origin identification, and trajectory analysis. The critique also addresses interception scenarios shown in the film, highlighting the omission of modern Aegis-equipped naval assets and recent interceptor performance data. Yeggy further challenges the portrayal of retaliatory pressure placed on the President, stating that the United States’ nuclear deterrent structure allows for greater flexibility than the film suggests. While acknowledging the role of artistic license in filmmaking, Yeggy emphasizes that A House of Dynamite promotes itself as authentic rather than speculative. He cautions that such framing may reinforce public misunderstandings about nuclear capabilities and policy. “As entertainment, the film succeeds in creating tension,” Yeggy writes. “As a reference for understanding nuclear operations, it falls short.” About the Author Thomas J. Yeggy holds undergraduate degrees in English and psychology and is a graduate of the University of Iowa College of Law. He practiced law in Iowa and Illinois and served as the mental health and substance abuse judge for Scott County, Iowa, for more than 25 years, authoring more than 1,500 judicial opinions. He is also a former licensed Series 7 broker. Yeggy is the author of five historical fiction novels addressing U.S. nuclear policy during the early Cold War period. More information is available at https://www.thomasjyeggy.com/blog/a-house-of-dynamite-thirteen-technical-and-storyline-issues This analysis is published by Parallax Publishing, an independent publishing house focused on nuclear policy, history, and strategic analysis.

Wesley J. Allen Announces New Book Be Serious about B. Cereus to Raise Awareness on Foodborne Illness and Toxin Prevention
Wesley J. Allen, the founder of Secret Healing Solutions, has announced the release of his new book, Be Serious about B. Cereus , a guide that educates readers on the overlooked risks of Bacillus cereus and its role in foodborne illness. This book aims to inform individuals about the potential dangers of bacterial toxins in everyday life and empower them with practical steps to reduce exposure, thereby promoting better health practices. The inspiration for Be Serious about B. Cereus came from Allen’s own health struggles, including the sudden loss of muscle function and the long-standing hearing impairment he faced. After a life-changing revelation, Allen discovered that the toxins produced by Bacillus cereus, a bacterium commonly found in improperly stored food, could have been a significant contributing factor to his ailments. Through extensive research, he learned the importance of food safety and how bacteria like B. cereus can silently harm the body. “Understanding the risks posed by bacteria and toxins, particularly Bacillus cereus, can drastically change the way we approach food safety,” said Wesley J. Allen. “My goal is not only to educate people about the science behind these toxins but to offer simple, actionable advice that can help them make safer food-handling choices.” The Importance of Addressing B. Cereus and Its Impact on Health Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming bacterium that produces toxins capable of causing foodborne illness, which can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and even more serious conditions. The bacterium is commonly found in foods such as rice, pasta, meats, and dairy products. The key danger lies in the ability of its toxins to survive cooking and proliferate when food is improperly stored or reheated. While the food industry and health organizations have made strides in raising awareness about foodborne illness, many people remain unaware of the risks posed by Bacillus cereus. Allen’s book serves as a timely and informative resource for anyone interested in learning more about bacterial contamination and how to protect themselves from these hidden dangers. “Life is all ‘ifs,’” said Allen. “Don't wait to see if it happens to you. By being informed and proactive, you can significantly reduce the risks to your health.” A Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness Wesley J. Allen has spent months researching the effects of bacterial toxins and how they impact human health. His work is not about promoting medical treatments or providing a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, it focuses on empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health, based on sound scientific research and practical guidelines. “I’m not a doctor, and I’m not offering medical advice,” Allen explained. “What I provide is information to help people understand the silent threats in their daily lives, particularly when it comes to food safety. I believe that when people are educated, they can make healthier choices and ultimately improve their well-being.” Be Serious about B. Cereus : A Guide to Preventing Foodborne Illness Be Serious about B. Cereus is a comprehensive guide that explores the nature of Bacillus cereus, the toxins it produces, and how it can cause illness in humans. The book also offers practical advice on proper food storage, reheating techniques, and food-handling practices to prevent contamination. Unlike traditional scientific literature, Allen’s book is accessible and easy to follow, with actionable steps that anyone can implement in their own kitchen. The book provides: A detailed explanation of Bacillus cereus and the toxins it produces. Practical tips for safe food storage, reheating, and handling leftovers. Real-world strategies for minimizing the risks of foodborne illness. An accessible guide for individuals who want to better understand bacterial contamination. “We’re talking about something that affects millions of people each year, yet it’s not widely understood,” Allen said. “This book is for anyone who wants to make sure they’re not just cooking for today, but preparing for a safer tomorrow.” A New Approach to Food Safety In addition to his work on food safety, Allen has long advocated for the body’s ability to heal itself when provided with the right environment. Be Serious about B. Cereus embodies this philosophy by emphasizing the role of prevention and responsible behavior in maintaining long-term health. It aligns with the mission of Secret Healing Solutions, which is centered around educating the public about the risks posed by bacteria and toxins and providing the knowledge to combat them. “My approach is about preparing the body to heal,” Allen said. “If you can keep toxins out of your body, you give it the chance to restore itself naturally.” A Practical Resource for Everyday Safety Be Serious about B. Cereus is a practical, user-friendly guide that anyone can implement in their daily life, whether they are cooking at home, managing a restaurant, or simply looking to protect themselves and their family from foodborne illnesses. The book’s strength lies in its simplicity and ease of application, ensuring that readers can immediately start using the information to improve their food-handling practices. By following the strategies outlined in the book, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illness in their lives and create a safer, healthier environment for themselves and their loved ones. About Wesley J. Allen and Secret Healing Solutions Wesley J. Allen is the founder of Secret Healing Solutions , a platform dedicated to educating individuals about the dangers of bacterial toxins and the importance of food safety. Through his website, SecretHealingStrategies.com , and his book Be Serious about B. Cereus , Allen provides readers with the tools they need to better understand the hidden risks in their environment and take proactive steps to protect their health. Media Contact Wesley J.

Researcher Shahida Arabi Helps People Break Trauma Bonds With Narcissists And Manifest Their Dream Life
Shahida Arabi is not just a bestselling author, researcher, and influencer; she is a revolutionary changemaker. Arabi, an academic and journalist, first rose to prominence in 2014 and 2016 with viral articles such as 20 Diversion Tactics Highly Manipulative Narcissists and Psychopaths Use and 5 Sneaky Things Narcissists Do To Take Advantage of You , which reached over eighty million people worldwide. These articles sparked a revolution in the fields of psychology and mental health, exposing covert manipulation tactics that were previously underexplored at the time. Arabi’s work drastically shifted the way we discuss narcissism and psychopathy today, pioneering important conversations about narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, projection, and jealousy induction. As a graduate of Columbia and Harvard, Arabi used her expertise in psychology and sociology to spread awareness of the dysfunctional dynamics in toxic relationships with manipulative people. Her viral articles and best-selling books, including Breaking Trauma Bonds with Narcissists and Psychopaths ( 2025, New Harbinger ), have empowered countless survivors to heal from toxic relationships, and were among the first to provide insights and real-life accounts from thousands of people affected by these experiences. Her work was also among the first to highlight the biochemically addictive nature of these relationships, highlighting the roles of dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol in why survivors often stay trapped in such dynamics. Arabi’s work emphasizes how trauma affects the brain and how interpersonal violence impacts a survivor’s decision-making and coping skills, challenging victim-shaming myths prevalent in society. It also underscores how manipulators often blow hot and cold deliberately to entrap you in toxic cycles, intermittently love-bombing you with positive attention and then devaluing you to keep you hooked on seeking their attention and approval. A Researcher and Bestselling Author with Purpose Arabi’s most recent peer-reviewed study, published in the Journal of Personality and Individual Differences , established the first empirical link between having a partner with narcissistic traits and the development of PTSD symptoms. Her bestselling books have been translated into over 20 languages, including French, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Japanese, and Polish. Arabi’s latest work, Breaking Trauma Bonds with Narcissists and Psychopaths , has been widely praised for its groundbreaking research and its real-world applications in helping survivors break free from toxic relationships. A Social Media Star In addition to her research and bestselling books, Arabi has gained a devoted following on social media, where her posts on narcissism, trauma bonds, limerence, modern dating, and human rights often go viral. Her posts and articles have drawn the recognition of numerous celebrities and notable public figures who have engaged with her work. Her Instagram account, @selfcarewarrior, and her Facebook page, The Smart Girl’s Guide to Self-Care , have garnered widespread attention, and her posts frequently resonate deeply with audiences from all demographics, especially women. Arabi’s social media presence offers empowering self-care tips, guidance to identify and stop romanticizing red flags in relationships, and motivational insight for healing from toxic individuals. She also shares inspirational content from living her dream life in Manhattan, a life she built through hard work and determination, empowering people to achieve their goals and manifest beyond what they thought was possible for themselves. A Manifesting Alchemist Arabi’s impact extends beyond her expertise on manipulation in toxic relationships. She has also become a pivotal voice in manifesting your dream life after adversity. Her upcoming book, Alchemy: Rewire Your Brain to Manifest Success, Attract Love, and Turn Adversity into Triumph (New Harbinger, 2026), blends neuroscience and psychology to help people achieve their goals after toxic relationships and trauma. Through her previous works and articles, Arabi popularized the concept of alchemy to associate it with the process of transmuting adversity into success—a theme she continues to champion in her work. About Shahida Arabi Shahida Arabi is a bestselling author, researcher, and social media influencer who has transformed the conversation around narcissism, trauma bonds, and toxic relationships. With a background in psychology and sociology from Columbia and Harvard, Arabi’s work aims to empower survivors of narcissistic abuse and inspire personal transformation.

North Pole Issues Controlled Chaos Advisory as Sleigh What?! Hits Kickstarter
NORTH POLE / MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The North Pole Department of Seasonal Stability has issued a revised holiday advisory for living rooms, classrooms, and office breakrooms: “Calm and Bright” conditions have been upgraded to “Controlled Chaos (With Snacks)” following the Kickstarter launch of "Sleigh What?!", a 12-day illustrated holiday activity book designed to revive the slowest hour of Christmas Day. The seasonal danger zone is familiar. Presents get opened. The sugar spike retires. Conversation thins out. Then phones arrive and the room’s personality quietly evaporates. Sleigh What?! targets that exact moment with short, high-participation challenges that work for mixed ages and mixed attention spans, without turning the day into a full-scale craft project or a rules-heavy board game marathon. The project runs on a simple rhythm: an illustrated scenario (“Festive Fiasco”) followed by a quick mission that can be completed through writing, drawing, or light performance. The tone is mischievous, fast, and intentionally low-prep. As the project’s draft script puts it: “No crafts. No cocoa-fueled heart-to-hearts. Just competitive mayhem.” Instead of asking families to build elaborate props or spend an hour learning complicated mechanics, Sleigh What?! leans into rapid prompts and playful constraints. One scenario can turn a normal gathering into a mock courtroom drama: a sentient wreath files a lawsuit against Uncle Bob for crimes against garland, complete with candy cane “order in the foyer” energy and wildly overconfident testimony from Frosty. That same approach shows up across the book as short, punchy formats that reward participation over polish. The book’s activity mix is built for tired adults and restless kids, including: rapid story sprints that escalate ordinary moments into holiday legends; doodle missions that reward imagination over art skill; micro-performances such as dramatic readings and mock “department rulings”; and rule-flips that add surprise constraints mid-round to keep the room improvising. Sleigh What?! also includes optional shareable artifacts designed for easy laughs and easy group participation. One example: “WANTED: Uncle Bob. Charges: Crimes Against Christmas Décor.” These are the kinds of “table souvenirs” that turn into inside jokes instead of ending up in a junk drawer. The project’s core promise is a lightweight alternative to screen fatigue and overplanned holiday entertainment. Another line from the book summarizes the underlying thesis: “Family time shouldn’t feel like jury duty.” Campaign and Delivery Timeline The Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to start Thursday, December 18, 2025 and conclude Thursday, December 24, 2025 at 11:59 PM CT. The campaign follows Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing funding model; pledges are collected only if the campaign reaches its funding goal. If the project funds, digital rewards are scheduled for delivery on December 25, 2025, including the digital book experience and related digital access described on the campaign page. Physical paperback editions are scheduled to ship in January 2026. A printable gift insert styled as a North Pole-issued “Notice of Delayed Chaos” is available for holiday gifting and explains the delivery timeline.

Sleigh What?! is a 12-day illustrated holiday activity experience built around short scenarios and quick challenges designed for group laughter and creative play. The project targets screen fatigue during holiday gatherings and offers low-prep, high-participation alternatives that work across generations. “Go big… or go ho-ho-home.”
