Abundant Life is an early inter
vention Christian boarding school for
troubled teens. Founded eight years
ago by Craig and Wendy Rogers, the
school is located in Kanab, Utah. The
second school will open this year in
Jesup, Ga.
"Tonight our goal is more com
munity awareness than fund-raising,"
Dawn Bauer, Director of Admissions
and Marketing, said.
"We have been given 60 acres and
a building in Jesup," Bauer said. "All
we need now is to raise $1.4 million
for operations, scholarships, and staff
ing."
The Christian school is for teens
from 12.5 years to 17.5 years. "No
schooling is lost," Bauer said. "We have
open enrollment and our students pick
up the academics immediately."
Abundant life is an early-interven-
tion-alternative program created to
help Christian teens who were once
bright and gifted but seem to be fall
ing by the wayside.
Diming the nine to 12 month pro

"With the current stress in my life,
I don't know where I'd be without the Innate diet."
Luanne Raspa, Office Manager Carlyle Chiropractic
"I was a patient of Dr. Carlyle's
before I went to work for him. Dr.
Carlyle talks about and lives wellness.
When I accompanied Dr. Carlyle to the
wellness education courses, I became
fascinated with the
research provided
by the courses and
how much sense it
made."
"We can't pro
mote wellness if
we are not living
it. So, Dr. Carlyle
has implemented
the courses with
the office staff to
keep us healthy. The entire staff has
experienced success at an individual
pace."
"I call it a diet but it is really a

change in lifestyle. I haven't given
up any foods but added certain foods
to my diet. Once I added the recom
mended foods, I noticed my cravings
for other things that are not so good
for me began to disappear."
"It isn't a diet where you have to
be perfect. Make the adjustments at
your own pace."
"I have experienced an increase in
energy. I just feel better. I began the
wellness way of eating in May and
have noted a difference in my skin,
my digestive system, and my overall
health."
"The plan is easy to implement
with subtle changes that make a
big difference in how you feel. There
is more scientific data to back up
the findings than any other lifestyle
change I have come across."
