Manian Debil Productions Review Policy

Manian Debil Productions Review Policy

We at Manian Debil Productions take product and book reviews seriously.  We feel we have an obligation to our readers/viewers to provide honest reviews on books and other products sent to us for review.

Due to the overwhelming number of books and products sent to us for review, we cannot promise a deadline for reviewing any product.

We will not guarantee that we will publish a review for any particular book or product.  The federal trade commission bars us from any such promise or guarantee.  

Any review we do publish will be posted on:

McClendon Villa’s Reviews

Reviews by David and Suzanne

As well as Random Thoughts and Observations

In addition to those blogs we may post reviews to our other blogs if the book or other product fits the audience for that blog.

Normally we will not post a review if we cannot honestly give it at least a three star review.  However, there are times when a product or book is just so bad we feel we need to warn our audience about the product.

If we can give a complete five star rating, we may choose to create a video review to be posted on YouTube and along with the Amazon Review.

From this point forward:

We will not review books that use the Lord’s name in vain.  This means if there is any mention of His name used as an expletive or otherwise to notate a negative statement, we will NOT review the book.

We will NOT review a book or product that contains graphic sexual content.  We will NOT review a book or product that is not within our very conservative Christian Values.  

There have been time we have been sent a product to review that just plain does not work.  We will not post a review of a product failure unless we deem it to be dangerous to our readers to not speak out about said product.

If someone (Author, publicist, publisher, press agent, etc) sends us a book or other product, they understand that we are under no obligation (per the FTC) to post a review.

Please do not send us any material that has images of any scantily clad persons.  This includes, but is not limited to, exposed cleavage, form fitting clothing, or underwear/swimwear.

Most of our posts contain affiliate links.  If you make a purchase after clicking on our links we may receive a commission.

Thank you.

God Inside the Fire: Revised & Expanded Edition by Greg Stelley ASIN: B07BV9262K




We read and reviewed the original version of God Inside the Fire and we were blown away.  Usually when there is a revised edition, it really does not improve the story that much. However, God Inside the Fire: Revised & Expanded Edition by Greg Stelley takes a truly awesome story and kicks it up several notches.

The miracles in the first edition were great. Stelley hit it out of the park with this revised edition as he added some dialogue that really makes the true life characters come to life for the reader. He also adds some back story to help us get the true impact of what was going on in the story.


Five Star Review


We feel that this book is very well-written and deserves all five stars.  It is a factual account of a real life event told as close to the facts as can be told.  

Our Kindle ereader tells us it takes about six hours to read the book.  This being the case, you might want to potty first, put on a cup of coffee, and grab a comfy place to sit because you won’t want to put down God Inside the Fire.



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

Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper ISBN: 978-0176842376

Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper is a book meant to let young people know that they can make a difference in this world. Age does not define you nor does it restrict one’s ability to make a difference in someone’s life. Kindness always makes a difference!

This book, written by a young teenager, is full of the stories of young people out there doing what they can to make this world a better place overall and to bring a smile to someone’s heart. The young people all face different challenges - there are people out there that think kids can’t do anything of importance - but they tough their way through the challenges before them to bring about the changes they are seeking.

In the Bible, John 15:12, we are commanded by Jesus to love one another: “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” The young people represented in Momentus are doing their part to “love one another” and making the world a better place. They are making a difference.

Five Star Review

If you need inspiration, can’t think of what you can do to make a difference to even just one person, pick up a copy of Momentus. You will find plenty of ideas. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to make someone’s day. No matter your age, you can do this!



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

The Bank On Yourself Revolution: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future by Pamela Yellen ISBN: 978-193952930-5



Anyone who has read our How To Manage Your Monkey blog knows when we review a book on finance, we try to be as fair and balanced with our review as possible.

By now our readers also know that when we find something wrong with a concept, we tell you.  We have looked all the way through The Bank On Yourself Revolution: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future by Pamela Yellen and we have to tell you we did find one flaw.  On page 95 when the author is discussing the alternatives to using The Bank On Yourself method, she says we could face a future where we say, “And would you like fries with that?”  The flaw is, the training tells you to say, “You want fries with that” with the tone of a question. It is actually hypnotism at its best. And, it works.

Well, now that you have read that major flaw (said tongue in cheek) we will tell you that this plan just might work.

Like just about every other book on personal finance we have read, Yellen starts out by telling her readers the flaw in most other means of financing a retirement. That part of the book seems to go a little slow.  Don’t give up. The book gets much better and the plan really seems to be a good one.

Albert J. Zdenek Jr, author of Master Your Cash Flow: The Key To Grow And Retain Wealth gives us some very sound advice that one should remember when reading any financial plan and that is, “Do the Math.”

It is too late for us to do the math.  I was forced to retire 22 years ago. If I had The Bank On Yourself Revolution and not been too hard-headed to heed the advice given, we would not be having to try to make ends meet by eating beans and rice or ramen soup quite so often.  Had we known about this plan and followed it the times spent in the nursing home (because that is the only way Medicare would pay for my IV fluids) could have been spent in my own home with visits from home health. With The Bank On Yourself Revolution, my wife and I could have made the choice.


Five Star Review


We give The Bank On Yourself Revolution all five stars.  It is very well-written and a well thought out plan for maximizing your wealth. We think anyone who plans to retire in this century needs to read this book. You will be glad you did.

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends!

Imagine, you’re 20  years old, your hopes and dreams before you, no reason to think you can’t achieve them. You study, you work hard, you maintain a 4.0 and are on the Dean’s list every semester. It seems everything you touch turns to gold.

Fast forward 2 years. All year, you’ve had to struggle. Financial aid was inadequate to cover everything. You move off campus to what you think will be better, less expensive living arrangements. But, roommates are wasteful and run up the utility bills making it difficult to afford other things, like food. You get a job, even though your school hours are already overloaded. You sell blood/plasma just to be able to buy groceries. It seems like everything is falling apart, but you still have the 4.0 GPA.

Then, the bottom falls out of your world. You wake up and there is an intruder in your room. You’re scared, but out of sorts because you just woke up. You can’t fight him off.  He’s a full grown, 40-something year old man. He overpowers you. The next 16 hours of your life have him drugging and repeatedly beating and raping you. To add insult to injury, he steals your debit card. The police only charge him with kidnapping and credit/debit card theft.

Our youngest daughter does not have to imagine this scenario. She lived it. On 26 December 2017, she was brutally attacked in her room, while her friends were away on Christmas vacation.

She tried to continue on with her job and university courses, but fell into a state of depression and a life ruled by fear and nightmares.  She couldn’t sleep, couldn’t function, couldn’t keep up with school work any longer. She left school and came home for her dad and I to try to help her recover from this traumatic experience.

Our daughter is receiving the help that we and professionals can provide for her. While she is healing physically, emotionally there is still much work to do. She wants to put this part of her life behind her and try to move forward. Returning to this university is out of the question.

Our daughter is heavily into the theater. Our town offers community theatre opportunities as does the local junior college, which she attended before leaving for the university.  The junior college offers a cosmetology program that she thinks will ultimately help to further her career opportunities in costuming and stage makeup.

There is one glitch - a very big one, that we cannot overcome on our own.

Although the local school has tentatively accepted her, they cannot let her enroll without a copy of her official transcript from the university she was attending when she was attacked. This university has a hold on her transcript because when she withdrew, it left a balance of approximately $5,600. This balance was the stipend provided for living expenses during the semester. The majority of it went to pay the rent at the apartment complex where she was raped. The complex would not let her out of the lease.  She has had to continue paying the rent there, although she has not lived there since late February. This stipend was not enough to cover the entirety of the lease agreement. There is money still owed for the months of June and July.

Our daughter did not ask to be attacked and have to leave school. Sometimes life brings other things our way and we have to adjust our plans.  No matter what, we have to keep moving forward.

Please help our daughter to keep on the road to recovery. By helping her to pay off the deficit with the university so that they will release her transcript to the local college, and paying out the lease to the apartment complex that did not provide proper security to its tenants, she will be able to put that school, that city, and - maybe someday - that awful attack behind her.

Here are the needs:

$5600 to the university
$1400 to the apartment complex
$  500 GoFundMe fees
-----------
$7500 Total

Thank you for your help in our daughter’s recovery.  May our Heavenly Father bless you all for your compassion and assistance.
