You run the same scam as others...the Book (PDF file) is free...then you hit people up for a donation. Direct from your website:
"We need about $5 million to print and distribute 5 million IS books as a start. We believe that this will make such an impact that readers will join the effort, sending in donations that will pay for the printing of other books, thus establishing a never-ending legacy of free spiritual books. There are many millions of us on the internet, so if we can reach them, and if they will join our effort by sending in just a few dollars, we can make this a reality.
Will YOU join our effort and co-create with us? Can YOU send us a few bucks to help? Will YOU send a link to this page on to YOUR friends, asking for their help, too? (As stated on The IS Foundation page, we HAVE received an advance ruling from IRS that it WILL be treated as a tax-exempt charity until 2002, so all donations ARE deductible.)
We NEED your love and support, and cannot do this without you. Please give this some thought and see whether you can send a few dollars.
I assume you are giving all the winnings from your Back to Back Royals to this project? Then again, since the website also has a Miracle Worker, perhaps you don't need funds? Again from YOUR website:
Help With the Tough Stuff
Dennis J. Krum
Miracle Worker
Spiritual, Emotional, Financial Counseling
You are correct though. Perhaps I should have used the term SHILL instead of HAWK:
Shill: n. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders
into participating in a swindle.

Gee, a nearly miraculous run of Video poker and you give credit to
some pseudo new-age religious books....that you just so happen to
hawk from your website and also offer Spiritual, Emotional, Financial
Counseling ? ? ? ?
<sigh>
Fred, atl
Pardon, but your ignorance IS showing. There IS a major difference
between "New Age" (aliens etc.) and "New Thought" (metaphysics - started
by Aristotle to find the cause behind the physical world). You IS, of
course, entitled to your opinion : )
Exactly how do you "hawk" (sell) something that is free?
