What if God was indeed finite and that there was a much bigger "infinite" being, one that created God and the co-creators?In The Origin Speaks the reader is taken beyond the author's Beyond the Source books to a direct dialogue with the ultimate creator, the "all there is," the "absolute," The "Origin."

A compelling and adventurous story about a young African elephant, named Ponga, who experiences various adventures while trying to prevent poachers from stealing his special gift; beautiful gold-tipped tusks that he inherited from an ancient ancestor. Ponga learns valuable lessons as his family and friends try to protect him so that he can continue the herd's legacy of courage, honor, and freedom. The book includes comprehension questions for children at the end. "The Adventures of Ponga" was written to entertain audiences of all ages, improve children's literacy, and to raise awareness about elephant poaching. Each day, approximately 100 elephants are killed by poachers for their ivory tusks. Sadly, elephants may become extinct by the year 2030 if more is not done to protect them. In that effort, the author of this book, Lala Harvey, partners with the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) to support anti-poaching efforts around the world. A portion of all proceeds from this book will be donated to children's literacy and elephant conservation programs.Thank you for your support!

Daisy Goes to the Races is the first book in my series of author-illustrated, Daisy Starshine middle grade/chapter books. Daisy, a young, orphaned, and disabled donkey, often dreams of becoming a unicorn as her way of coping with her self-perceived inadequacies. She loves that her eight-year-old best friend, Clarissa, has created a glittery silver horn for her to wear. But when Daisy starts working at a local race track, she is crushed that the other animals and grounds workers tease her for it. She’s even more hurt when the race horses she admires reject her because of her small stature and the leg brace she wears. When an angry employee sets fire to the stables that house her and the other animals, Daisy discovers a strength she didn’t know she had, saves the day, and finally discovers the happiness that comes from accepting herself as she is.As a father, grandparent, and clinical psychologist, Mark Stevens has helped numerous children overcome the issues Daisy struggles with. Drawing from this experience, he writes about human (or animal) nature and transformation that occurs in the midst of life’s difficulties in a way that is accessible to kids. His hope is that these these stories will encourage children as they face their own struggles, discover their own unique gifts and strengths, and come to fully accept themselves for the shining stars they are.

Their stories tell: how the family coped with Phineas’s head injury, the challenges of traveling to California with him, and how his skull and tamping iron came to be on display in a Harvard Museum.Based on a true story and known facts (at the time of writing), this work of fiction brings contemporary emotional qualities to the people who experienced a family tragedy that became a historic event. The Case of Phineas Gage is still commonly studied by neurology and psychology students today.
