Msgr. Theos New Book Discusses Choosing Life over the Demise of Deadly Disease

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

For author Msgr. Theo. Joseph, death was not too far away. After a barrage of medical tests, specialists had confirmed the worst - the diagnosis was cancer. The bad news however, did not conquer or cause the author of A Glorious Journey to fear or give up.

Bravely facing radiation therapy and surgery, Joseph decided to fight and to appreciate life for all that its worth and more. Readers will be inspired to greater heights of hope and faith with this courageous confession of a priest who chose life over the demise of a deadly disease.

A Glorious Journey is about the authors battle with and defeat of death. This true story will ultimately empower the audience with a stronger belief that the impossible is possible. In regards to overcoming challenging and life threatening odds, It can and has been done, says Joseph.

This book will help to strengthen others who know someone or who themselves face life and death issues in their own personal experience. As a text, those who know someone or who are suffering with similar challenges on their path will find this narration a necessary and beneficial volume.

This book will be featured at the 2011 Illinois Library Association Book Exhibit in Rosemont, Illinois, on October 19 to 20, 2011.

About the Author

Monsignor Theophilus Anthony Joseph, also called Msgr. Theo, is a priest from the Archdiocese of Castries on the Island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. He graduated from St. Marys College in St. Lucia, the Seminary of St. John Vianney and the Martyrs of Uganda in Tunapuna, Trinidad, West Indies, Clinical Pastoral Education Institute in Bellevue Hospital, New York, The Pastoral Institute at Iona University, New York, and Glendale (Kensington) University in California achieving a masters degree in social psychology. Msgr. Theo also holds a doctorate in ministry from the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas.

Msgr. Theo has written extensively in defense of the Catholic Church in St. Lucia and hopes to publish those manuscripts in the near future. After his priestly ordination in 1974, he has been involved in the pastoral ministry, serving as Pastor to many parishes in St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Monsterrat and Grenada. His longest period of Parish Ministry was as Dean of the Cathedral and Parish Priest of Castries, St. Lucia, where he remained for seventeen years. His love for the pastoral ministry led him to preach revivals in Nassau, Bahamas; Kingston, Jamaica; Georgetown, Guyana; St. Georges Grenada; Mesopotamia, St. Vincent; and Roseau, Dominica.

In the United States, he has preached revivals in many parishes in the Diocese of Brooklyn, the Archdiocese of New York and the diocese of Hartford, Connecticut. He has celebrated the Eucharist on many occasions with the Caribbean people in the Diocese of Rochester, New York.

On the Civil side, Msgr. Theo was made a Justice of the Peace (JP) in St. Lucia and was awarded the third highest national honor in St. Lucia, the St. Lucia Piton Medal (gold) S.L.P.M. (gold). He continues to celebrate life in spite of illness, pain and suffering, which has forced him to a medical sabbatical. He spends his time reading, meditating, praying and being thankful to God for all his gifts. His book A Glorious Journey is a very brief theological journey and he hopes the book will be helpful to those who are also on a journey.

Allmand Law Produces Over 100 Bankruptcy FAQ Videos

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

Allmand Law now offers over 100 bankruptcy FAQ videos on YouTube. The videos are designed to educate debtors considering bankruptcy and answer bankruptcy questions such as:

Who can file bankruptcy?

How does bankruptcy impact a home mortgage?

How will divorce affect a bankruptcy filing?

What can debtors expect from a bankruptcy attorney?

How to make changes to a Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment plan?

How can debtors keep some assets in bankruptcy?

How can debtors avoid foreclosure by filing bankruptcy?

The videos, which are mostly under two minutes, also cover other frequently asked questions about the benefits of bankruptcy and the bankruptcy process for both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

For debtors living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, learning about bankruptcy before the need to file arises is important. Mortgage lenders in Tarrant County have already posted 1,515 foreclosures for November, an 8 percent increase from October according the Addison-based Foreclosure Listing Service.

Foreclosures and bankruptcy filings are expected to increase through the rest of the year, according to Reed Allmand, managing partner of Allmand Law. Because there was a backlog of foreclosures due to investigations into robo-signing allegations earlier in the year, we could see a lot of foreclosures taking place in the last two months of this year.

Allmand also pointed out that many homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area may decide to file bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure, making education about the bankruptcy process critical if filers want to receive the full benefits of discharging their mortgage debts.

Education is key to making a good decision about bankruptcy, Allmand said. Many homeowners facing foreclosure wrongly believe that its too late to receive help from the bankruptcy process once they get a foreclosure notice; but that is only because they dont fully understand what bankruptcy can do for homeowners facing eviction.

What bankruptcy can do is stop the foreclosure process in its tracks even if an auction is only days away, according to Allmand. Allmand also stressed that bankruptcy can help some homeowners cram-down a second mortgage; but many simply dont know that possibility exists due to lack of education.

Foreclosure and foreclosure related issues are not the only topics covered by the bankruptcy FAQ videos. The videos also cover questions about credit card debt, reaffirming auto loans, paying off traffic fines in bankruptcy and even how to pay for a bankruptcy attorney, along with other common issues.

If debtors considering bankruptcy have specific questions about the process, they can search for their question on the Allmand Law and go directly to the brief video for an answer.

Reed Allmand is Board Certified in Consumer Bankruptcy by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the managing partner of the law firm Allmand Law and NACBAs State Chair for the Northern District of Texas. He has been practicing bankruptcy law for nearly 10 years and has handled more than 3,000 bankruptcy filings. Allmand has appeared on Money for Breakfast on Fox Business News and is the author of The Truth about Bankruptcy. To speak with Mr. Allmand or to schedule an interview, please call (214) 265-0123.
