New Holiday Book Touted as the Modern Day Version of "It's a Wonderful Life"

    /24-7PressRelease/ - NOLENSVILLE, TN, November 17, 2005 - "{silent alarm}" is being called the modern day "It's a Wonderful Life." It's the story that we all know is true, but that we all need to be reminded of.

This Christmas, give this special gift of a new beginning to someone you love by blessing them with a copy of "{silent alarm}".

Just as George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life" had his life abruptly interrupted, in "{silent alarm}" Jack Turner is suddenly changed forever when disaster strikes on an early winter morning.

Jack Turner took great pride in the control he had over all aspects of his successful, normal life. He had it all figured out--work hard and the rest of the pieces would fall into place.

When this unexpected, life-altering event shakes Jack from the corporate treadmill, he is reminded that he is not in full control of his life. Only then does he begin a quest to stop living accidentally and being living intentionally.

Jack would never have read this book. why would he...when a tragedy could just as easily open his eyes.

Maybe you and Jack have something in common. But then again, maybe you don't. You can always hit the snooze, put this book back on the shelf and wait and see.

This is the holiday book of the season, a life changing book by author John Blumberg. Give "{silent alarm}" to someone you love or give this book to yourself. You may need to slow down and realize all of the treasures and joys that are yours this holiday season.

On the surface . . . "{silent alarm}" looks like a self-help book. But don't be deceived. While a meaningful read for anyone in most any walk of life, the real purpose of "{silent alarm}" is to bring hope to busy professionals who have the courage to change the face of business in our challenging and uncertain world.

It could be the most important book you have read in a long time and the most important gift you could give to those who mean the most to you in your life.
