Ascot Media (Press Release) – Houston, TX, May 28, 2011 — A lover of the outdoors, Ron Frost has spent many hours on canoeing trips in different parts of the world, providing him ample time for meditation and connecting with his own spirituality. Also, his qualifications as a professor enable him to lay out the facts of evolution that nearly everyone can agree on! The earth is immensely old, life can be traced to one ancient predecessor, and creatures have changed progressively over time.
In Religion Versus Science: Where Both Sides go Wrong in The Great Evolution Debate (O-Books), Ron Frost sheds new light on the argument that has been at the center of many cultural wars and separates worldly, secular people from Christians and other religions. Frost’s book brings a fresh approach to both sides of this seemingly never-ending debate and offers something for every belief.
In Religion Versus Science, Frost works from the premise that science, which deals with the materialistic aspects of reality, and religion, which deals with the subjective way we relate to the outer world, are compatible rather than contradictory ways of viewing reality. He notes that it is understandable why Evangelical Christians have long been irritated by scientists ‘stretching’ the facts to present the “scientific” view that evolution is a sort of hit and miss process where the only value to human life is as a transporter of all-important genes!
In his book, Frost shows that the religious view where we are immersed in a spiritual dimension can be combined with scientific evidence for the antiquity of the Earth to form a theory of evolution that is consistent with the principal teachings of all but the most Fundamentalist of the world’s religions.
His years as an editor for two major scientific journals and a professor of Geology at the University of Wyoming, together with twenty-five years as a practicing Buddhist, gives Ron Frost noteworthy credentials for finding a common ground between science and religion.

Ascot Media Group (Press Release) — Houston, TX, May 28, 2011 — I Had Every Excuse to Fail, But I Chose None (Sky Productions) by Sebastian K. Young is a life-changing, informational and relationship model that is told through encouraging and insightful stories. Both motivational and inspiring, it tells the story of Sebastian Young, a successful entrepreneur who was raised by his grandparents in rural Beaumont, Texas after his mother was murdered. Determined to achieve a certain success, in spite of his journey that was filled with trials and pitfalls, he did not allow it to discourage him from his chosen path. This authentic and moving biography is filled with equal shares of hilarious stories, encouraging statements, and enlightening situations that will help readers discover their own hidden potential.
Young’s story articulates the life of a young boy who had no father in his life and whose mother was brutally murdered, and who could have used this as an excuse for failure, but instead his grit and determination helped him become a nationally recognized businessman. As a youth, he was haunted by the death of his mother – he would hear voices at night, see her murder in his dreams, and often resented the days as a teenager that he was unable to hug her. In 2005, he received a call from Detective A. Perez, the lead detective on the case who wanted to try to close the cold case prior to his retirement, despite the ruined evidence. That call changed Young’s life after learning that his mother’s murderer was never convicted. He knew he would have to find a way to forgive. Thanks to his faith, he was eventually able to forgive the man who callously murdered his mother.
When his grandparents passed on, seven hours apart, he became even more determined to turn his pain into motivation and in I Had Every Excuse To Fail, readers will discover his landmark strategies that will help them propel personal and professional partnerships, as well as build their business with considerable success. Separated into three sections; Growing Up, Lessons Learned and Forward Thinking, the book systematically progresses through the various trials Young experienced in adolescence, the witty, relationship-based tales of his grandfather, and the business savvy, chess game life he lives today.
A man who passionately believes you can never stop learning at any age, Young appreciated the wealth of knowledge and wisdom his grandparents imparted to him. In spite of some tough punishment, he learned a great deal from them about life, relationships, and the choices we make – and each played a part in helping him become a determined leader, mentor and parent. While he lives the life of a successful entrepreneur, he never loses sight of what is important. Family comes first with Young and he has made some tough sacrifices to ensure his daughters receive all they ever want or need in life.
Aside from being an extremely successful entrepreneur and now author, Sebastian Young has also hosted events with Charlie Wilson, Steve Harvey, DL Hughley, Mo’ Nique, Fantasia, Kem, and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Cedric the Entertainer, and Mike Epps.
