Book Review: The Income Miracle: How to Use Life Insurance for a Safe and Tax Free Income Stream by Marc Aspen ISBN: 9781532379796





The booklet The Income Miracle: How to Use Life Insurance for a Safe and Tax Free Income Stream by Marc Aspen actually bills itself as an article.  It is short, only 20 pages, including the appendix, but it contains loads of information.

One may ask, “Is a twenty page booklet really worth the cover price?”  We would answer that by asking you, “If Warren Buffett offered to sell you a single sheet of paper that contained the secret of how he got wealthy, what would that be worth to you?”

The concept detailed in this book is not new, it just isn’t talked about a lot.  We have reviewed two other books regarding the same subject in the last few months.  This is not new. Many financial gurus will tell you that this method does not work. They advise you to buy term life insurance and invest in stocks and bonds.  I believe these gurus are wrong.

If I had known about this back several years ago, I would be much better off today.  If I had listened to my father, who had actually sold insurance years ago, I would have had this type of plan.

Aspen does not tell you that this way is the ONLY investment you need, like so many other investment books we have read, and there have been hundreds.  He does suggest that this is a part of your investment plan.


Even though this article is short, it might just be the best investment you have made in a while.  It might lead you to ask more questions of your insurance agent. It might lead you to better understand your financial future. We give The Income Miracle all five stars.  


We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Unveiling the Mystery of the Bride of Christ: The Restoration Truth of Who & What Is the Bride of Christ by Duke Levy ISBN: 978-1-9736-1892-8




Any time one has an alternative interpretation of the scriptures from what we were taught in Sunday School, we question the validity of that interpretation.

In Sunday School, we are taught that God changed Saul’s name to Paul.  This never happened. Saul was his Hebrew name and Paul was the translation of Saul into the Gentile tongue.  


We may not see eye-to-eye with Mr. Levy on the interpretation of the scriptures, but we can understand why he believes what he believes.

One instance of this difference would be Mr. Levy thinks we should continue to eat only foods that are clean according to the Old Testament.  He may be right. However, our interpretation of Acts 11 leads us to believe that all foods are now clean. Would we be better to err on the side of caution?

Mr. Levy makes some very good points.  We cannot judge whether he is right or wrong, theologically speaking.  We know what we believe and can see why he believes what he believes.

Five Star Review


Unveiling the Mystery of the Bride of Christ is very well-written and well-researched.  Mr. Levy has spent years analyzing the scriptures to learn the truth, as he interprets it.  We give this book all five stars.

Crude Blessings by T.M. "Roe" Patterson ISBN: 978-0-9980213-0-0




In the book Crude Blessings by T.M. "Roe" Patterson, readers are treated to a fascinating look into the life of two true Texans. We challenge you to read it without shedding a single tear.

This book makes for great entertainment, but it also provides a look at some truly great business minds.  

It can be exhilarating to be on the front lines of a startup business.  There is a special excitement when failure is not an option. This book puts readers on the front line to see how honesty and integrity can overcome a world of obstacles.

This makes an absolutely wonderful book with tons of life lessons.  

The sad part in all of this is that, according to several of the other books we have reviewed recently, such as The Aging Brain  and Unsafe at Any Meal , Alzheimer’s disease, Autism, ADD/ADHD and other brain related problems can be avoided. It appears that there is anecdotal evidence to support the notion that high fructose corn syrup and mercury in our diets cause these brain conditions.

We give Crude Blessings all five stars.  We simply cannot believe that this is this author’s first book.  Very few could write this well and tell a story this fascinating the first time out of the chute.


We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Authority Marketing: How to Leverage 7 Pillars of Thought Leadership to Make Competition Irrelevant by Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton ISBN: 978-1-946633-13-2





If you needed heart surgery right away, which doctor would you choose, the one who just read the latest textbook on the particular procedure you need, or the doctor who wrote it?

The book Authority Marketing: How to Leverage 7 Pillars of Thought Leadership to Make Competition Irrelevant by Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton explains in an easy to read way how you can come to be seen as a authority in your market.

We here at Manian Debil Productions receive hundreds of articles written by many different authors.  These articles are sent by many different publicists. We can only run so many. How do we choose which articles we run?  I did not realize it before, but this book explains why we pick those select few.

If you are trying to break out in your niche, you will find this book to be very helpful. It is also eye-opening.  It is sort of like Paco Underhill’s book Why We Buy in the idea that we should know this, but for some reason we don’t.

When you read this book you will probably think, “I knew that”. When you do think that, you will then wonder why you didn’t act on what you knew.  This book will help you act on that.

Five Star Review


We think anyone in any field that puts one in the  public eye should read Authority Marketing.  We give it all five stars and know you will, too.



We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: A Financial Strategy to Reignite the American Dream by Patrick H. Donohoe ISBN: 9781544510842





If we had to sum up the book Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: A Financial Strategy to Reignite the American Dream by Patrick H. Donohoe in just one word, that word would be “Refreshing”.

This book is refreshing because the author isn’t one of those One Trick Pony authors.  You know what I mean. If you read a book on real estate investing, the author talks about how great an investment real estate is and how bad every other investment is. Donohoe doesn’t do that.

The author does tell us about how different investments actually fared over the years, and how his plan of using insurance to steady out the cash flow is not an “or” investment, but an “and” investment.  In other words, his method is a part of a good investment strategy.

One of the really great things about this book is that readers are given the history of different investments,  why they were created and how they are being used today. He gives his readers the history of the insurance industry and how safe it actually is.

By now, we have read multiple books on investing which really turn out to be sales brochures for a particular company and really expected this book to turn out the same way.  The author’s company is mentioned a few times but, unlike most other books, he actually tells his readers how they can find this information for themselves, but emphasizes that his company is there to help.  He invites us to use free tools on his website.


We give Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: A Financial Strategy to Reignite the American Dream all five stars.  We have over 53,000 books here at McClendon Villa waiting to be reviewed.  This book makes the extremely short list of books that will become a permanent part of our library.  Of course, the Holy Bible is one we would not part with. Other than that, our list has now grown to a total of three books.


We think it is refreshing to see an author not promote his idea as the only tool in the toolbox.  We think you will, too.


We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.
