Pyramid Press Announces ‘And What is Hell’ – A True Story of Christian Faith and Freedom Exposing the Dark Secrets at Patton State Mental Hospital

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "And What is Hell - A True Story: Exposing The Dark Secrets Of 'The Insane Asylum'" was released today in its second printing (ISBN: 978-0989901765). This compelling true story is all about religious freedom and Christian faith.

"I did not know it was hell until that first night! A place of cruel torture, of starvation, of murder, of flagrant injustice, of hatred, of despair, of envy." -- As told by Sara Ramsey and written by Dorothy Ramsey.

Sara and James, who with all their hungry souls sought the truth and understanding of God's Words, (as evidenced by her poetry throughout the book), were apprehended on December 18, 1912, judged and committed without a trial or defense for being impoverished street preachers and for living together while not being legally married by the laws of man.

They were sent to Patton State Hospital, then known as "The Insane Asylum," in San Bernardino County, California. At the time qualifying afflictions included: religious excitement, spiritualism, worry, overwork, love affairs, seduction, alcoholism, drug and tobacco abuse, privation, politics, asthma, desertion by husband, grief, change of life and old age.

Whether sent by a judge or family member, the poor unfortunates institutionalized lost every freedom and were deprived of human rights and dignity. The horrors were indelibly impressed in Sara's mind. She felt if she told her story it could save others from anguish and torment.

This story is important because people are important. How we treat the young, the elderly, weak, vulnerable, mentally ill or physically ill, the poor and homeless is ultimately a true reflection of our society.

"And What Is Hell" tells a true story of Christian street preachers of 1920's Los Angeles and is a chilling and compelling story of deep faith. The reader follows the absolute horror experienced by Sara and James Ramsey who were locked up at Patton Street Mental Hospital in San Bernardino, California because of how they expressed their Christian faith.

The abuse, mental and physical cruelty and the degradation experienced is accounted in great detail and is completely factual.

"And What is Hell" is written by Dorothy Ramsey, who was the daughter in law of Sara and James Ramsey. The author gathered suitcases of extemporaneous notes, reviewed diaries and conducted extensive interviews in order to write this true account.

This project took over 50 years to write and produce. It was Dorothy Ramsey's final wish in her life to get this true story of this Christian struggle published. Her hope was this remarkable story of faith displayed by Sara and John Ramsey would inspire others to grow their faith and learn of the power of Jesus Christ.

Dorothy Ramsey's long-time life goal started to come to fruition at the age of 93 when She asked her oldest Grandson, a noted academic scholar and author, Dr. Michael Miller to help her. Together they organized the book from thousands of loose pages tucked away in an old Suitcase. Dr. Miller also painstakingly Edited the book. They worked on this project for two years, and finally at the age of 95, the book was published by Pyramid Press.

"And What is Hell" - ISBN: 978-0989901765 - has a retail price of $29.95 and is published by Pyramid Press http://pyramidpress.net/ and can be purchased directly on the publisher's website.

"It's hard to put down and with each page turned the reader is more and more drawn into the remarkable terror of being locked in an insane asylum simply for having different religious beliefs," said Rev. Ray Baker.

"This book illustrates how society discriminates agonist Christian's and those of faith. This is also a story of redemption and the power of deep Faith while actually living in a true Hell on earth," said Right Reverend Richard Wardell.

Pyramid Press Announces Release of New Book ‘Peter Drucker’s System of Management in a Business Environment’ by Luther Guynes, PhD

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Pyramid Press announced today the Release of the New Book: "Peter Drucker's System of Management in a Business Environment" by one of Peter Drucker's First Students, Luther Guynes, Ph.D.

Peter Drucker was a force of nature when it comes to the development of the managerial mindset of the latter 20th century. Drucker's ideas discovered and identified a framework for a practical philosophy of business. The Fellows of the Academy of Management voted Drucker's 1954 book "The Practice of Management" the third most influential book of the 20th century.

Just to review the titles of his many books from 1939 to 2008 would provide a complete structure for pursuing an understanding of the philosophy of business management. Among his many ideas, Drucker predicted the disappearance of the blue collar worker, the importance of nonprofits for improving the community, the necessity to adapt to changes with eyes firmly fixed in a forward direction, and the increasing importance of the knowledge worker and the need to keep learning to adapt to the changing world.

It is hoped that Dr. Guynes book, "Peter Drucker's System of Management in a Business Environment" (ISBN:0996893555 / US Price $29.95) will serve as an introduction to Drucker's thoughts and insights and will serve as an inspiration to those preparing to cultivate their future in the business world for a better tomorrow.

Dr. Peter Drucker considered Dr. Guynes an outstanding student, gifted cooperative colleague and an esteemed professional. Dr. Peter Drucker describes Dr. Guynes as follows: "Luther C. Guynes, who finished both his Master s work and his Ph.D. work under me, is probably the ablest administrator I have taught. He has the necessary compassion combined with the necessary toughness. He has insight into people, and yet is task-focused. As he is tactful, firm, pleasant and determined. He has that rare gift of making an organization work for him. Altogether he is one of the few naturals in administration I have met. I consider him to be both an amazing writer and qualified for any administrative position in higher education, in government service or in business enterprises." --Dr. Peter Drucker, Ph.D.

Dr. Guynes and Peter Drucker maintained a meaningful personal relationship for over twenty-five years until Dr. Drucker's death in November 2005. Dr. Guynes is forever grateful to his mentor and to the family of Peter Drucker and The Drucker foundation who provided valuable assistance and support for this book including back ground materials and photos.

Dr. Luther Guynes, Ph.D. has dedicated over 45 years to higher education as a Professor, Department Chair and Administrator. Currently he is the President of the University of Los Angeles College of the Divinity. He also served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was awarded the distinguished Meritorious Mast Award for outstanding service. He was also the founder and President of Management Systems & Technology, Inc. a technology systems engineering and logistics management consulting firm that provided services to industrial and diverse corporate entities.

Dr. Guynes received his bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Under the mentorship of Dr. Peter F. Drucker, he earned his Master's Degree in Economics and Business Statistics and his Ph.D. in Government Finance and Public Administration from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont California.

Dr. Guynes is a loving and devoted father to his six children, nine grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Dr. Guynes is working on his next book his biography titled: "Persevere to Success" which will be available for release at Christmas 2019 by Pyramid Press.

In his four years as a high school head coach, Coach Mike Miller attained the fifth highest winning percentage in California high school history.

This book is dedicated to Former Lakers coach Phil Jackson who is considered by coach Miller to be the greatest professional basketball coach of all time.
