Reston-based publisher Grateful Press LLC announces USA Book
News Award for flagship title “Conversations With Jerry And Other
People I Thought Were Dead” by speaker and self-acceptance coach
Irene Kendig
Reston, Va. – Grateful Press LLC is pleased to announce that its
flagship title, Conversations With Jerry and Other People I
Thought Were Dead is a winner in the Health: Death &
Dying category of the “Best Books 2010 Awards," sponsored by USA
Book News, the premiere online magazine and review website for
mainstream and independent publishing houses.
This is the third publishing industry award given Conversations
With Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead. The book also
garnered a Silver Medal in the same category of the 2010
Independent Publisher Book Awards, and was a Finalist in the New
Age Non-Fiction category of this year’s National Indie Excellence
Awards.
Subtitled “Seven compelling dialogues that will transform the
way you think about dying . . . and living,” Kendig’s book is
rapidly gaining recognition as an enlightening and life-affirming
read that diminishes fear of dying and inspires conscious, joyous
living. The book now serves as part of Kendig’s outreach as a
professional speaker.
While helpful for anyone facing end-of-life issues or for those
grieving the loss of a loved one, this work has taken on more
timely and urgent meaning in the wake of recent suicides by teens
subject to bullying. The author believes that our society’s
discomfort with the subject of dying is magnified for the survivors
of suicide victims.
“Suicide itself is such a cultural taboo that it puts even more
pressure on those left behind to remain silent about the
rollercoaster of emotions they may be experiencing,” she explains.
“Religious judgment and condemnation of those who’ve committed
suicide can multiply the unnecessary suffering of those who are
grieving.
The 352-page softcover book retails for $19.95 USD and is available
at the book’s website, conversationswithjerry.com, on Amazon.com
and through booksellers.
