About Ruth Lampe’s Books

SURVIVING Mental Illness

A story that needs to be told.

It is a story about an incredible love between a man and a woman. Married many years, their life has not been without struggles that originated with the author’s husband’s family that brought a serious genetic chemical imbalance that took the lives of two brothers and a third brother that had continual mental breakdowns for years and never recovered. Ruth Lampe, the author, struggled to get the best care for her dear husband during the 5 bouts of mental depression he had during their marriage. She fought to keep him alive and won each time, through many attempted suicides and care of Psychiatrists that didn’t fight hard enough for his life. She did. Follow the gripping story as she faces these difficult times, but not alone. She had such a depth of faith that she leaned on and it was because of these struggles she wants to share this story with others to perhaps help someone else.

This book offers readers a glimpse into the author’s journey through her early life. Here, Ruth Lampe shares the things that helped shape her being—revealing the many doors that challenged her choices, decisions and commitment and the ease these doors open when knowing the direction you want in life and always evaluating what is important. Through these thoughts and poems, they will see the quiet influence of her mother, the concern, yet strong love, they had with their father, and the belonging they felt as a family. The pages will slowly uncover how the author’s family faces different obstacles, how her parents teach their children how to deal with life’s realities, how to discern the right things to follow, and how to discover life’s true purpose—a journey that taught her many things and guided her through the next phase of her life. Ruth Lampe’s choice, that never wavered, was her walk with God through life. It was so strong in her family and it became her mantra on which she based her life.

Life: Always a Choice of Doors

A glimpse into the author’s journey through her early life.

Ruth Lampe’s first book SURVIVING Mental Illness is a memoir dealing with her marriage and her husband’s family.

“Keep walking with me” may seem difficult but not when you look at it as a challenge and make your choice one that would bring another path, another door.

This now gives a picture of the Author’s growing up days as she lived a life of such faith and devotion to God, regardless of any circumstances, and defines where the Author gets the faith and strength she needed for her life.

It is also the author’s own personal life story and family history growing up in Toledo, Ohio with a family that gave her such strong direction and hope in life, ‘thru it all’.

Both books reveal Ruth Lampe’s love of her husband, love of family, how she felt the strength of her Mother and her Father, and her own strong love of her Lord, Jesus Christ. Her desire is always the same: may her life tell the story.

Sharing the pain, joy, hope and so much more, Life: Always a Choice of Doors invites the readers to learn to make the right choices and discover the true essence of life and family.

Ruth Lampe

Ruth Lampe is sharing the life she has lived in these books she has written. Her desire is to set her own life as a record of living that was difficult at times but yet full of love and joy. Her desire is to share pain with others who are in pain and give some hope to them. If she can make a difference in someone else’s life, that will be reason enough for living this life and surviving it.

She is extremely proud of her two adult children: Beth Lampe Elliott and David Lampe. They are a gift!

“The ceiling was gone, and in its place were incredible sensations with an awareness that went far beyond Earth. There was a feeling of great unconditional love along with the visual effects of many beautiful colors. Next I heard amazingly splendid voices that sounded like those of angels, singing along with the carols. The pureness and great depth of their voices was unlike anything I had ever heard on Earth. As a child, I kept thinking that nothing here could ever sound like that. This amazing experience lasted for maybe ten minutes. During that time, I rested on the bed, staring up toward the ceiling experiencing Christmas in Heaven.”
– Excerpt from Connected by The Light

John Elgaaen

Intriguing paranormal experiences have been an integral part of John Elgaaen’s life since a very young age. The first conscious experience occurred when John was just a tiny baby lying down for naptime. Since that very early age, these amazing sixth sense events have continued and remain ongoing for him.

During his lifetime of stimulating extra perceptive occurrences, he has come to understand the spiritual side of life much better. In fact, this spiritual connection has become a very important aspect of his life, one that he would not want to be without.

His entire life has been guided by those in spirit. John’s latest request has been to write Connected by The Light. Before starting the book, he was at the kitchen window looking outside, when suddenly a vision of God appeared in the late afternoon sky. After the event, he thought no more about the wonderful vision. He knew answers would come as to why it had occurred.

Two nights later during sleep a guide spoke very loud and clear to John, telling him that God wanted him to write a book and “make beautiful music,” sharing his sixth sense experiences with others. A few days after the verbal message from spirit, a powerful feeling of urgency and inspiration swept over his entire being. The book was going to be written, and it was now time for him to start writing.

Mr. Elgaaen lives in California, close to family and surrounded by friends. In addition to his strong spiritual connection, he enjoys landscape design, stock market watching, and music.

From Zero To Hero In Your Finances

From Zero To Hero In Your Finances is intended to help you grapple with spiritual principles relating to financial blessing. It is designed for people who are in a time of need, or just feel they need a boost in their faith for finances. Author Richard Knapp, M.D. designed this collection after being inspired by Isaiah 12:3 “Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation.” Scriptural salvation includes being saved from poverty to true biblical prosperity. Financial Biblical principles are wonderfully illustrated with personal experiences of the author, and scriptures, to help you in digging your well of salvation in the area of faith for finances. Other topics will undoubtedly convict you of your need to apply biblical financial principles. Interspersed are testimonies of fellow travelers to build your faith for finances.

From Zero to Hero In Your Finances is specifically designed to help you dig that well of salvation in the area of God’s provision. Abraham dug wells, but the by the time Isaac came along, the Philistines had poured dirt in the wells. Isaac had to re-dig the wells of his father. Even so we have to dig or re-dig those wells. Digging takes some work and perseverance but the rewards are tremendous. You will renew your mind in how you think about the whole area of finances, particularly related to your relationship with the Lord.

How can a book help you dig the well of provision? First it reminds you of truths you will intuitively know are right. It paints a Kingdom perspective-His Kingdom. Then it interweaves stories of how God rescued real people, doing the impossible. You will pray along with the text. There’s nothing like talking directly to the Lord to actually get to one’s heart. Finally, you’ll read short scriptures that “flesh out” the truths and help to renew your mind.

Here’s an excerpt of a prayer: Lord, I believe that You are both able and willing to provide for me. You are my source of provision, not my job or the people in my life. . . I repent for the times when I have put my faith and trust in other sources of help instead of in You. Thank you for revealing my idolatry of trusting in work or savings or other people before You. You are the God who provided for Your people in the desert with manna, meat, water, shade in the day, and fire by night. You are well able to meet my needs. . . I want to seek Your Kingdom first, and I believe that as I do, You will provide the things I need. I ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.

How Can a Book-to-Screen Service Turn Authors to Superstars

Becoming a superstar is commonly associated with a fine reputation, high distinction, and fame. All of us can be famous in everything we do in life, making us deserving to be called superstars.
In self-publishing, the big names make a difference. Names such as Stephen King, William Golding, E.L. James, Stephanie Meyer, and many more, sound so familiar to our ears. They have become a part of some conversations anywhere. They have become the great references for many writers aspiring to become like them.

The crunching time

Not known to everyone, these names didn’t achieve their superstar level kind of fame in just a blink of an eye. They have been through all the bumpy and crooked pathways in their journeys before they succeeded. Today, they probably just reckon the uneasy points of their lives when they were still struggling to beat the odds and imagine those greatest ways they did to untangle the knots tying their finest skills and smart ideas to continue their journey. Books of these superstar authors had experienced rejections by some publishing companies not just once but several times. King’s Carrie received dozens of rejection while 20 publishers rejected Lord of the Flies by Golding before it was finally published, became a best-seller, and was required reading in many schools and colleges.
On the other hand, the name behind the so successful Fifty Shades Trilogy, E.L. James, received critical reception for her work mixed with negative reviews which noted poor literary qualities of the book. But giving up is nowhere to be found in the author’s vocabulary. She grabbed every opportunity that shows up her way such as self-publishing and promoting the books online; until she recently become top-selling author in the world.

What do they have in common?

From being failures to successful—these authors have these in common. They all have found ways to pursue and succeed and even did the initiatives in promoting their books to the readers by all means. They all have the specialty marketing techniques which have paid off all their efforts just to get the voice in the reading public. Some have chosen to self-publish and partner with what they think a good self-publishing company in order to get professional help and gain more knowledge, skills, and better book marketing ideas.
As they continue to gain success in the world of publishing today, it is highly noticeable that their books give high interest to movie producers adding to their “superstar” level of fame.

Film adaptations

Just like what I’ve mentioned, these authors have also common scenery along their paths. They succeed in their book promotion, acquired great sales for their books, until such time that their books have turn the eyes of those in the motion picture industries. All the books that I’ve mentioned have film adaptations which were a success while film adaptation of E.L. James book is planned to be released in 2015.

Book-to-screen service takes pave

Before a book can be made into film, there is such thing called scriptwriting based on a well written manuscript. Well, it should start first on how does your book sales perform in the market. Then here comes the big names of movie industries that are just there—keeping an eye. And if they think your story fits and deserves to be filmed; it is time for your big break.
Book-to-screen service is a kind of specialty marketing offered by almost all publishing companies in the world in order to give authors the chance to get their books a movie potential. With this, they will also experience getting high regard from trillions of people in the world. Having been in the industry for many years now; I can safely say that most authors whose books are turned into movies took advantage of this kind of service and succeeded.
Those who have already reached the peak of publishing success have found their own ways to get out of the traditional way of waiting. They take actions and do their own initiatives and are now recognized. Don’t wait for another months and years. Take actions now and you can also be one of those who are already enjoying the payoff of their struggles towards completing the best books.
