Jeremiah's Prophecies: The End of the United States by Charles J. BrannanJeremiah, the prophet, has been reborn in spirit to prophesy to the United States about the coming judgment it faces. He takes his words of 2,500 years ago and addresses them specifically for the United States. His message is simple: repent or be destroyed. He takes the events of today and shows us what is happening at present and the consequences that will shortly follow. He gives prophecies of coming events for the United States and other countries as God tells us what countries He will judge for their unrepentant wickedness. Lastly, an answer is given for readers to know what to do in the perilous days.
Charles Brannan was born and grew up in Alabama. He participated in track and field as well as cross country running in public school. Also he joined the prestigious Auburn High Band where he became a first-chair flute player. Upon leaving high school, he went to Auburn University where he earned BS degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Chemistry. He also earned a MS in materials engineering and entered the PhD program for Mathematics. He has worked as an engineer for the Air Force and Navy and then with the Chemical Engineering Department at Auburn University where he designed the test the US Department of Transportation uses for testing asphalt and aggregate. He also has researched capacitors and batteries for the space shuttle program. He has preached many sermons at Abundant Life Church where he was an elder at one point. He has moved on from that church and is being prepared by God to start a new ministry in the near future.

What is Eternal Salvation?: A Big Lie or Simple Truth? by Joe ClemonsWhat is Eternal Salvation? A Big Lie or Simple Truth? is a Christian theology book designed to help its readers check their spiritual intelligence quotient. Joe Clemons believes that a person’s intelligence quotient may be suitable for making a living. It is one’s S.I.Q. that makes a living and dying a good experience.
The book has six Bible-based questions that will make readers think and reflect as they try to answer them. It will help them know where they stand regarding their S.I.Q. The book also details what makes eternal salvation the most crucial concept people should know and understand.
Author Joe Clemons wrote his book because of the problems he experienced. He wants to help others have a clearer understanding of why eternal salvation is real. According to Joe, until one understands salvation and what makes it infinite, the Good News of the Gospel will never make good sense. Joe wants to make others smile because of the joy and love that comes from Jesus.
Joe Clemons became a Christian in 1983, and it was the best decision he has made for dying and for living. Joe has a caring, loving family—his wife of 38 years and two sons and a daughter. Because he was a victim of dumb doctrine and bad theology, He wrote the books: An Open Letter to the Human Race, The Solutions to Life’s Greatest Problems, and What is Eternal Salvation: A Big Lie or A Simple Truth?

Facing the Challenge, Beating the Odds: The Jimmy Mulzet Story by Jimmy MulzetFacing the Challenge, Beating the Odds follows the life of the author, Jimmy Mulzet. It is a story about faith and love for Jesus and His church. In this autobiographical book, Jimmy attempts to put his faith into action.
Jimmy Mulzet barely survived before his first birthday. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at six months old. The diagnosis posed a prediction that may never walk. However, Jimmy soon discovered that God sometimes provides miracles. All he needed was patience.
The book shares Jimmy’s life story to encourage others to be the best they can be despite their obstacles. His remarkable life experiences shine a light on the values of insurmountable odds that lead to a self-sufficient, accomplished life. Fueled by faith and prayer, Jimmy details how he achieved independence by eventually learning to walk, which allowed him to attend school, make friends, and later run in the New York City marathon. This also lets him climb the stairs to the top of the Empire State Building, and meet Pope Saint Jon Paul II.
The author’s story inspires other people with disabilities to never give up on dreams, find hope in the darkest of places, and always rely on God for strength.
JIMMY MULZET was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at six months of age and was never expected to walk. Not only was he able to walk, but his path led him in many directions. Recently retired after thirty-nine years working for the City University of New York, Jimmy is a devout Catholic who intends to use his faith as his guide to achieve much more in life.

Penelope's Song: A Seventeenth Century Tale for a Twenty-First Century World by Carol J. DeMarsPenelope's Song: A Seventeenth-Century Tale for a Twenty-First-Century World occurred during the seventeenth-century golden age of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. With the country's wealth and superpower, why would a vivacious niece of a wealthy Dutch merchant hastily marry her father's brilliant student? Carol J. DeMars' book then took its readers to one of the least desirable outposts in the Dutch Empire when the new couple decided to sail across the dangerous Atlantic Ocean. The lovers arrived at the city of Nieuw Amsterdam, today's Manhattan.
Penelope's Song also follows the story of an aristocratic English widow who traded her land of birth for New England, seeking liberty of conscience. She expects Sir Henry, her only son, to join her when the Civil War erupted in England. Loyal to the monarch who bestowed his knighthood, Sir Henry became a Cavalier fighting for King Charles I.
Another war disrupted the lives of the Algonquian people that once flourished in the eastern woods of North America. Oliver Cromwell started a trade war for supremacy over the high seas which threatened to overthrow the vast Dutch empire and destabilize their lives again. Once again, drama stirs the life of the legendary couple Richard and Penelope Stout. Witness a story that combines romance, history, and thrill in Carol J. De Mars' book.

Gorky, Russia; First man in: Memoirs from being the first American allowed inside Russia's closed exile city by Donn G. Ziebell, Ph.D.Russians needed internal visas to travel outside their place of residence. It was rare for foreigners to get such travel permission. After 30 years of corporate employment the author made an improbable career change. His new boss and two VP’s were black-listed by the KGB and could not enter Russia. The author was asked to write a business seminar proposal for Russia to see if he could open a door and get in. One of the three Russians who received the proposal got approval nine months later by Moscow’s Ministry of Education and the KGB . Surprisingly the seminars were designated to be held in Gorky, an exile city for political prisoners and closed to foreigners.The Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. and the officials in Moscow would not issue a travel visa to Gorky. So the author took the chance to be driven 250 miles to Gorky without a visa. The Russians in the city had never seen an American before. The seminar was attended by 60 top industrial personnel, including some suspected to be KGB. The author describes seminar incidents which reveal the thinking and unexpected responses by the Russians. He was taken to meet with many different people and visited many sites during his stay. The memoir is filled with events, pictures and entertaining cross-cultural experiences. From his time inside Russia, readers follow the many twists, turns and surprises the author encountered which entertain and hold reader’s attention. Gorky was not opened to foreigners until the year after all these events took place.
About the Author: Donn Ziebell's pursuit in doctoral studies with The Union Institute University, Cincinnati, Ohio, intersected simultaneously with his receiving of the approvals from Moscow's Russian Ministry of Education and the KGB to present business seminars in Russia. Delivering his first in a series of lectures in August 1990, the seminar program proceeded with his sending a number of US instructors with specific disciplines into Russia to lecture on their business areas of expertise. Their trip reports provided original research for writing a cross-cultural experiential doctoral dissertation to receive his Ph.D. degree. Previously, his B.S in Metallurgical Engineering from the U. of Missouri, Rolla, and a MBA degree With Distinction from the U. of New Haven, West Haven, Connecticut, expedited his earlier career in manufacturing and consulting roles within Fortune 500 Corporations for thirty years, including five years in his own manufacturing consulting firm, Ziebell Associates, Inc.

FORETASTE: LEADERSHIP FOR THE MISSIONAL CHURCH by Paul M. Dietterich
This book provides lay and clergy leaders with practical ways to work together to strengthen their church as a missional community. Readers gain a theological foundation for their leadership and learn to practice six behaviors that transform a church’s climate into one that demonstrates Christian faith. It is only through the life, work, and message of the community of faith that the gospel can be interpreted and made relevant. This is why leadership that forms a missional community is so important. The gospel is not only that by which the Christian community lives, the gospel itself lives through the life and witness of the community.

He holds advanced degrees from Ohio Wesleyan University and Boston University. He has served as pastor to churches in Massachusetts and Iowa.

Through his work at the Center for Parish Development he has served as consultant with the Episcopal House of Bishops, the Council of Bishops of the United Methodist Church, and clusters of North American congregations, districts, conferences, dioceses, and synods. He is married to the Rev. Dr. Inagrace T. Dietterich, is the father of four children and the grandfather of seven.

Individual Empowerment: A Way to A Better Future by Eric Gribble
A must-read for anyone searching for answers to the most important issues of our survival on Planet Earth.
-Reader's Favorite Most
Australians look at politicians with disdain, but they continue to expect the government to solve their problems. Concerns include a social breakdown, an approaching climate calamity, loss of genetic diversity, world overpopulation, economic stagnation, and a loss of manufacturing jobs.
Eric Gribble has a broad interest in economics, horticulture, and astronomy. He has owned and operated small horticultural businesses in New Zealand and Australia and taken an interest in Politics. He served as an electorate secretary for a small political party in New Zealand. He has diversified life experiences in New Zealand and Australia. Due to tragic personal loss during his life he has become very aware that we all have a relatively short existence. The Question we all must ask is “what is the purpose of it all”. Eric’s belief is that we all contribute is a very small way to the steady advancement of humanity, that is our legacy. That legacy becomes less obvious if society does not appear to be advancing. This is why he anticipates that his book demonstrates to people that there is a future, that the current crisis that humanity is going through is totally solvable.

His Majesty's Airship: The Life and Tragic Death of the World's Largest Flying Machine by S. C. GwynneFrom the bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Empire of the Summer Moon comes a stunning historical tale of the rise and fall of the world’s largest airship—and the doomed love story between an ambitious British officer and a married Romanian Princess at its heart.
The tragic story of the British airship R101—which went down in a spectacular hydrogen-fueled fireball in 1930, killing more people than died in the Hindenburg disaster seven years later—has been largely forgotten. In His Majesty’s Airship, historian S.C. Gwynne resurrects it in vivid detail, telling the epic story of great ambition gone terribly wrong.
Airships, those airborne leviathans that occupied center stage in the world in the first half of the twentieth century, were a symbol of the future. R101 was not just the largest aircraft ever to have flown and the product of the world’s most advanced engineering—she was also the lynchpin of an imperial British scheme to link by air the far-flung areas of its empire from Australia to India, South Africa, Canada, Egypt, and Singapore. No one had ever conceived of anything like this. R101 captivated the world. There was just one problem: beyond the hype and technological wonders, these big, steel-framed, hydrogen-filled airships were a dangerously bad idea.
Gwynne’s chronicle features a cast of remarkable—and often tragically flawed—characters, including Lord Christopher Thomson, the man who dreamed up the Imperial Airship Scheme and then relentlessly pushed R101 to her destruction; Princess Marthe Bibesco, the celebrated writer and glamorous socialite with whom he had a long affair; and Herbert Scott, a national hero who had made the first double crossing of the Atlantic in any aircraft in 1919—eight years before Lindbergh’s famous flight—but who devolved into drink and ruin. These historical figures—and the ship they built, flew, and crashed—come together in a grand tale that details the rocky road to commercial aviation written by one of the best popular historians writing today.
About the Author
S.C. Gwynne is the author of Hymns of the Republic and the New York Times bestsellers Rebel Yell and Empire of the Summer Moon, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He spent most of his career as a journalist, including stints with Time as bureau chief, national correspondent, and senior editor, and with Texas Monthly as executive editor. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife.

They Are Not of This World by Richard EssiawAs a son born to Ghanaian parents, Richard Essiaw knew firsthand how a foreigner from another country struggled to assimilate into the current country they had returned to. This experience was not only experienced in his own life as he returned from Ghana in West Africa in 1993 to America after being initially born in Arlington, Virginia, on April 6 of 1986, but also he often saw similar struggles from other Ghanian family members who would often experience the struggles of culture shock, language barriers, and the overall struggles of adapting to living in another country.
What about having to not assimilate to living in a foreign world as a foreigner or alien? Ever since he became a Christ follower in 2005, Richard Essiaw now had to learn to live in this world as a Christ follower with a biblical worldview without assimilating to—approving of its standards—ideologies, lifestyles, etc. However, when we scan the overall forecast and spiritual temperature of this world or, more specifically, of American Christianity, there is an obvious lack of uniqueness or difference in how we have been responding to the hot-button issues of our days, such as pandemics and racial injustices. Consequently, the family of Christ is at an all-time split that even the watching world has observed.
They are not of this world, is a plea to Christ followers to uniquely and credibly live out the faith in unity during our temporary stay on this earth.
I am an African (Ghanaian native) American who is a Christ follower. 2nd oldest of 3 siblings. A graduate of Capital Seminary in Greenbelt Md. With a second Masters degree in communications from Grand Canyon University. I currently live in Jarrell, Texas with my wifeFrancisca; two daughters, Sarah and Charis; and son, Makarios. My ultimate biography is found in what it says in Galatians 2:20.

THE VILLAGE OF LANSING AND ITS AIRPORT: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE - A PERSONAL MEMOIR by Robert R. Malkas
The Village of Lansing and Its Airport is a history of how the Lansing Airport was developed into what it is today. This story looks at the fascinating and often underappreciated ways that it served the people of the Village of Lansing and the entire Chicago Southland. While the book tells the history of events in the airport’s development, it also provides a guided virtual tour through the pages of history and gives the reader an opportunity to participate as if they were actually reliving the experiences. The book is designed to revitalize the planned development of the airport in a format not typical of a historical memoir.
Robert R. Malkas currently resides in Lansing, Illinois. When he first moved there, he went to sleep every night under the first ever airport rotating beacon atop Henry Ford’s Hangar at the Chicago Hammond airport. He came to believe he was being sent a message from Henry Ford himself about his contributions to the history of aviation in the United States. Malkas accepted this challenge and became the first chairman of a village commission assigned the task of managing the Lansing Airport’s growth. He was later appointed airport manager and served in that position for twenty-three years until his retirement in 2008.

The Year of Five Emperors - Part 1 : Pertinax by Robert EckertThis is a thoroughly researched, panoramic view of a pivotal year in mid-imperial Roman history. It can still be seen how the old Roman society functioned, but it is beginning to break down. The viewpoint shifts from chapter to chapter to show what is happening not only in the capital, where the Praetorian Guard, the City Legion, and the Senate are vying for control, but also at the frontiers: in the far northwest, the Caledonians are willing to consider joining but only on their own terms, and they will not be dishonored; in the north-center, the Germans are not currently as active as they have been before, and will be again, but need watching; in the east, the Parthian Empire is crumbling, but for Romans to take advantage they need to settle the question of who would get credit for any triumph. The pervasive role of religion is also illustrated: the traditional Roman religion with all of its gods, rituals, and omens still is the most common belief, with deities from other nationalities in the Empire incorporated into the pantheon with varying degrees of comfort; but the more skeptical philosophy of Stoicism replaces it as a moral guide among large segments of at least the more educated population; and Christianity is growing in influence, still technically illegal but generally tolerated in practice; while Jews and Samaritans maintain their distinctive ways in isolation. The Empire and the society, and the story, are tied together by an intricate web of patronage and friendship relationships: no two people in the rather small upper class are more than a couple connections away from each other, and no-one from lower down the scale can rise except by becoming connected.
Robert N. Eckert has degrees in philosophy, law, and mathematics, and lifelong interests in linguistics and history. He won a set of Encyclopedia Brittanicas in 7th grade for an essay on who the speakers of Proto-Indo-European might have been. In the 1970s he transcribed the Tanakh (original Hebrew text of the Old Testament, from the Leningrad Codex) into an ASCII file (with codes for the cantillations as well as vowel-points and consonants): all online Hebrew OTs derive from this file. In 1980 discovered an unexcavated archaeological site in Turkish Kurdistan. Eckert currently tutors statistics and calculus in the Detroit area.

The Junk Drawer: A Place for Our Dreams

The Amazing Golden Years by Calvin L. EmersonHow well do you deal with major difficulties that arise in your life? Do you take them in stride, or do they seem to overwhelm you?
This is a book that will give you a whole new perspective on facing troubling times. It does not oversimplify the situation by telling you to be more positive. It teaches you a logical way to deal with unwanted difficulties.
This book will teach you:
A simple formula encouraging you to look back in your life to better deal with the crisis you are in.
Why you should trust God in the middle of a crisis.
The excitement and logic that aging adds to the formula.
In this book, retired Pastor Cal Emerson shares life experiences that came close to destroying his relationship with God. Yet because of this formula he learned to experience a peace that extends beyond reason and a very positive outlook when facing difficult circumstances.
Calvin Emerson graduated with an engineering degree from Michigan State University and managed the northern Michigan office of a construction company for five years. His third profession is being a pastor, which he has done for 28 years in one church.
For eleven years, Calvin represented Adidas athletic products for Michigan. He later became a sales manager for a 21-state area. Calvin received a Bronze Shoe Award as the Adidas Salesman of the Year in 1982.
Calvin left the corporate world at thirty-nine to embark on a new journey in ministry as he pastored his first church. He received his master's degree in ministry from Indiana Wesleyan University. His retirement years have kept him busy speaking and writing.

THE DISTANT LIGHTHOUSE by Linda Gallagher
This enchanting tale is actually the format for the journey many souls awaken to in a lifetime. The framework of this story is using the idea of a lighthouse that is set upon a rock in the middle of the ocean. Its job or duty is simply to ‘Be What It Is’ and share Its beam of Light into the darkness. In so doing the boats that sail into this region will be saved from a catastrophe by running into submerged rocks as they are shown The Way to home and harbor. As humans born into this worldliness or ocean of samsara we begin our journey as beautiful, pure beings finding ourselves, at times, falling victim to various states of mind and feelings...losing our way. We disconnect from a true sense of value, worth, meaning or purpose from what we are and why we are here in this lifetime. Lighthouse started its journey as a beautiful, purposeful lighthouse but over time became bored, sad, fearful and self-pitying by not ‘remembering’ the ultimate reason for its life and purpose. As in many stories we always love the ‘hero’ walking into the moment and rescuing the ‘fallen angel’, so to speak. In our lives when we come up to the end of our human understanding looking for solutions everywhere outside we finally give up, let go and/or surrender.
Here in our story when Lighthouse fell asleep and has an amazingly beautiful experience of light, music, love and freedom something heralds the coming moment of true realization. Shortly after this ‘dream or vision’ Lighthouse recalls the fact that there had been a Presence right here on this rock. And It had promised Lighthouse that if It would simply ‘remember’ Its Name that at any time Lighthouse needed anything It would be fully present. Its Name was key to bringing anything necessary for Lighthouse...all Light-keeper said It needed to do was to: “Call Me and I will be there!” In other words...remember Me! So, we come to the ending of this wonderful sharing. We find a joy-filled Lighthouse..grateful, happy, content and fulfilled. It now knows that It was definitely in Its right place all the time expressing Its Divine Purpose. It had always been meant to simply beam Its bright Light of Love and Service out into this vast darkness finding once again the true joy of living.
An added note: Readers will figure out that the tale is a metaphor for our lives as we tend to lose sight of the value and meaning of our existence. The story demonstrates that each of us has a reason for being here. But when we come up against obstacles often times we succumb to the challenges forgetting that there is a strength, power and light within all. And as we awaken to that fact we rediscover ourselves once again being ‘on purpose’ and experiencing the true joy of living.

My Dear Mabel: A Grandson's Lessons in Love, Faith, Patriotism and Courage in Letters from World War I by James M. HawkWhen Roy Hawk of Cleveland, Tennessee, and Mabel Thornton of Knoxville, Tennessee, first met, a positive letter-writing campaign started as The Great War raged in another part of the world. Their relationship and eventual romance would be tested during a difficult time two months after the United States declared war on Germany. Roy and Mabel continued to correspond in a caring, sincere, and regular manner, jotting down everything from fleeting feelings to life commitments to journeys far from Eastern Tennessee. My Dear Mabel is a collection of their letters, stored undisturbed for over a century, from February 1917 to the end of June 1919. At 25, Roy Hawk joined the U.S. Army as a private after winning the heart of a farmer's daughter. A few months later, he was "Over There" in France, serving with the 6th Infantry Division. In contravention of her parents’ wishes, Mabel Thornton reported to work as a war worker and clerk in the Adjutant General's Office of the War Department in Washington, D.C. at the age of 23. After the passing of his father, a grandson came upon their letters. These letters are love letters. Their letters reveal a shared Christian faith, love for family and country, and manifest courage. The reader is invited to be the fourth person to read these pieces of history.
James M. Hawk is the son of James T. Hawk, the second son of Roy and Mabel Thornton Hawk of Cleveland, TN. James graduated from law school and practiced law in Washington State. As a Navy brat, James grew up near saltwater ports, including Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, San Francisco, and Seattle. Captain Hawk received orders to head to Naples, Italy, in the Bicentennial Year. James, a scholar of song lyrics from the 1970s, graduated from high school in Naples in 1979. When Lionel Richie worked for The Commodores, disco music peaked, and the Rumours album was released to a grateful world. James spent his first year of college in Munich, Germany (München mag dich!) and one more summer in Southern Italy (Dolce far niente!) before traveling to Washington State with a retired Captain Hawk in 1980. James self-published "Advice To Sons" in December 2022, A compilation of some of the wisdom and “Advice” in letters written by his father and grandfather. James is grateful for the wisdom of his grandparents and his father to save the letters Roy and Mabel wrote to each other more than a century ago. James, his wife, and their three sons reside in Washington State.

The Adventure of Pinkus MaGee by Denise SteelePinkus MaGee starts her day thinking about the fun she will have with her aunt that day, when a butterfly flutters by her. She is mesmerized by the gracefulness of the butterfly as she watches its every move. Before she knows it, she starts shrinking to the size where she can get on the butterfly's back and they fly away together. Thus begins her adventure. Along the way, she encounters many animals. Since she loves so many animals, she is excited every time her path crosses theirs. After a few days, she finds herself getting homesick and must find her way back. Again, she depends on various animals to get home and can't wait to tell her family all about her adventure.
Denise was born and raised in California. For the first 10 years of her life, she lived in the country. Because her dad started horseshoeing for a living, he needed to work in a cooler climate than where they were living in the San Juaquin Valley, so her family (which included her 2 brothers and her mother and father) moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. At first the change of lifestyle by moving from country life to that of living in the suburbs of San Francisco, was difficult, but she eventually considered the move a blessing. Her and her family loved exploring their new surroundings, especially the city of San Francisco.
In 5th grade she was given the assignment of writing and illustrating a story to be read to the kindergarten class. Many years later this is what led to her interest in writing children’s books. However, prior to writing her first self-published book, she worked as an assistant to multiple loan officers.
For enjoyment she likes to decorate, read and travel.
Things started to take a turn when, in 2005, she started experiencing symptoms that led to her not being able to work as of 2008. During the interim she was going from doctor to doctor to doctor, trying to find out what was going on with her health. It wasn’t until 2017 that she finally received the diagnosis of having MS. As the saying goes ‘when one door closes, another door opens.’ Suddenly not being able to work was a door closing, but discovering her interest in writing children’s books was the door that opened.
What 1 started off as an enjoyable pastime, she hopes to turn into a means of making money since she is currently on disability.
In 2012 she wrote her first self-published book, which was illustrated by a neighbor who convinced her to have the book published. She enjoyed so much the experience of seeing her story come to life with illustrations that she wrote her second book in 2013. The title of her second book is “I Will Take Care of You”. And now her third book, “The Adventure of Pinkus MaGee” is out and was published the end of 2022.

Where is the Justice?: Second Edition by William F. HillI have always felt that we have greatest country in the world. It has always given me great pleasure to see honest, hardworking people and who are willing to take risks to get ahead and succeed. I always felt that this was that America got to be great and that we all should be working hard to help improve our own lives and the lives of others by carrying on this great American tradition. As a result of being brought up with this thinking, I am more than willing to go out of my way to try to help people succeed and obtain their goals. To see people succeed in their life's goals and ambitions has always been very gratifying to me and given me a good feeling. Another thing that always gives me a good feeling is to see couples doing things as a family and with their children. To me, this is what life is all about and should be about. Many of this new generations of do-gooders, as they are often called, seem to think that everybody should live on handouts and that anyone who is successful should be cut back down and not allowed to succeed without their input as this is not fair to the less fortunate in this country. What they do not seem to realize or don't want to realize is that the people who are more successful probably do more to help the less fortunate than all the government and giveaway programs can ever hope to do.
A successful person who has obtained his achievements through hard, honest work is usually willing to try to help others reach similar success. A person who is successful usually lives in a little better house. Many now think that this wrong, but that person probably pays several times the property taxes of someone living in a less expensive home. This will benefit everyone as this helps to educate their children and pay for many of the local services that people demand today. If they hire people to help take care of their homes or properties, they are usually paid for with after tax dollars, and this creates jobs for the people doing the work. Isn't this sharing the wealth? Most successful people help create jobs either by expanding their own business or investing on other business. I think that in order to get people off welfare and off the government rolls, we need all the successful people that we can get in this country.

So Shall It Forever Be: The Making of Satan (The Eternal Destiny Series Book 1) by Chris and Guy PaganoAll the citizens of heaven were excited about the upcoming ceremony. One of their own members, Lucifer, was going to be anointed as chief over them all. Why wouldn't he be chosen? All others agreed. After all, as a messenger stated, Lucifer was the most glorious being in all of creation-except, of course, for God. But when God began to speak, everything changed.
In a creative study that reinterprets the great battle between God and Lucifer and imagines the actions of factions supporting each and the resulting fallout in the heavenly kingdom, Chris Pagano offers his unique perspective while attempting to answer common questions about the devil. Who created him? Why is there a constant struggle in our lives between good and evil? And is God actively involved in the world's affairs and in our lives? Throughout his examination, Pagano helps us understand how to live with these issues, to find peace within a deeper relationship with God, and to ponder the lasting consequences of these storied events.
So Shall It Forever Be shares one man's perspective on the beginning when good and evil first met while encouraging believers to return to the Bible to search for the hidden truths.

Quest: Finding Freddie
By: Thomas Richard Spradlin
About the Book
Quest: Finding Freddie is the narrative of a case that Richard Spradlin had in 1976 as a General Partner in the Washington, D. C., law firm of Clifford & Warnke. It concerns the search for one of his firm's clients (known to his wife and friends as "Freddie") who had suddenly "gone missing" in Lagos, Nigeria. A devout Jew, Freddie had simply disappeared on Saturday, August 14, 1976 (the Jewish Sabbath) while on a business trip to Nigeria. His disappearance was particularly disturbing since it occurred not long after the June 27, 1976 rescue by Israel Defense Forces of hostages being held by terrorists at the Entebbe airport in Uganda.
As spectacular and heroic as the Entebbe rescue mission had been, it had caused extreme embarrassment for Uganda's President, Idi Amin Dada Oumee, who was also serving at the time as Chairman of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). In Nigeria, the political situation was even more uncertain due to tensions following an attempted military coup which had taken place on February 13, 1976. Although that coup failed, it nonetheless had resulted in the assassination of Nigeria's Head of State, General Murtala Rufai Ramat Muhammed. It was against this background that Spradlin was sent by his law firm on the quest to find Freddie.
About the Author
Thomas Richard Spradlin served as the assistant to U.S. Senator A. S. (Mike) Monroney of Oklahoma from 1956-63. He attended the George Washington University, where he earned his AA and BA degrees with distinction (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1959. He also attended the George Washington University Law School, where he earned his JD degree with honors and served in the U.S. Army from 1963-1967, where he moved to rank of captain in the U.S. Army. Spradlin is married to Javene Annette Black, M.A., University of Stuttgart, formerly Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University’s German campus and HR executive of the California Endowment. They now reside at a little corner of paradise known as “Critter Creek” in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

No Time to Waste: Microbehaviors: Leveraging the Little Things to Become a Better Leader by Artell SmithEach day we go through our routines, whether at work or home, exhibiting micro-bursts of behavior.

Where do these micro-behaviors come from? How can we better control them?

Learning how to calibrate your micro-behaviors will result in better relationships overall, with the added benefit of driving performance in an organization setting. You can’t afford to waste your time, or those of the people around you. Understanding and managing your micro-behaviors will be a game-changer for you.

A LIFE LONG SPIRITUAL WALK AS A FRIEND OF BILL W. by Ellie Lorenz
Ellie Lorenz is a graduate of California State University, Sacramento. She is the mother of three children; a daughter and two sons, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She currently lives in Washington State. A life-long spiritual walk as a friend of Bill W. is a tribute to her formative years, being around her grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, mom and dad, and all her loving animals. She has Native roots in Canada with the Blood tribe, and in Montana with the Blackfeet tribe. All of which contribute to the woman she is. She attributes the beginnings of her walk to being led to the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous on her most vulnerable and most teachable day, that being the day she began to hear for the first time in a long time. The rest of the journey speaks for itself. It is a journey of wonderment, fulfillment, adventure, joy, sorrow experience, and success.

Saving Alezia's Baby by Carole Love Forbes with Gary Love
When I decided to write another book for Scarlett, my brother's granddaughter, it had to be about her new favorite, the Giraffe. I knew little about them, so I had to research them. I knew my book had to have a lesson in trust taught to Aezia's baby. I planned at first that I, as an artist, I would illustrate the book. I soon realized that, I would find the giraffe and the story very difficult. Then I remembered my dear friend and brother, Gary Love, who I knew could do a fantastic job. So I called him and happily he agreed to create draft illustrations using his experience with computer graphics. Being computer illiterate, I spent months with my brother drafting pictures to match my story line. Finally, it all came together and we are both very happy with the results.
After many years of acting, Carole finally listened to others and decided to start writing. At age 79 she began by writing a four-book novel about women in early American history. Her next book, 'It's Ally's Turn' came as a surprise to her as it was a book for children. Now at 90, Carole, has finished 'Saving Alezia's Baby' and completed several other science fiction books she had in mind, a startling adult adventure named 'A Bartender's Holiday' and a space audacy named 'The New Planet'. Currently, she is finishing her autobiography, 'Tale of a Cockeyed Optimist'.
Her brother, Gary, is a retired scientist with many technical pubications. At 79, this is his first children's book collaborating with Carole. He revised and simplified her story and prepared drafts of all ilustrations for completion by a professional artist.

Family Structure by Choice by Daniel Ukadike Nwaelene, ThDWhile this book is not just about making choices, it is aimed at presenting the kinds of family structures that are prevalent in the world today in comparison with the original family structure as God designed and ordained it. To be able to detect a counterfeit, one must know the original very well. In effect, many people may not know wrong family structures because they do not know God's choice of family structure.
This book is, therefore, meant to point the reader in the right direction in order to prevent errors in choosing the kind of structure to have, or where to make possible corrections - depending on your current marital status.
I was the founding pastor of Royal Priesthood Baptist Church, Aseese, Ogun State, Nigeria, before relocating to the USA, where I did further studies and obtained a master of theology and doctor of theology degrees. I am in the Lord’s service as an ordained minister (associate pastor) on a bi-vocational basis at Community Baptist Church, Yonkers, New York, since January 2015.
Before my call to the pastoral ministry, God took me through industry, where He gave me special favors, the testimonies of which are documented but not yet published. The Lord has been good to me. Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit has used me and helped me to publish two books before this one. To God be all the glory.
I am married to Patricia, and we have been blessed with two sons and two daughters. I would counsel, appeal to, and encourage you to appreciate God’s love for you today, and if you have not already put your trust in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, invite Him into your heart and life and be saved, “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
I was pioneer pastor of Royal Priesthood Baptist Church, Aseese Village, Ogun State, Nigeria. I am currently one of the ordained ministers (Associate Pastors) in Community Baptist Church, Yonkers, New York, USA.

The Strength of Courage by Alfred J. Dansbury Sr.This is a story of an African-American soldier who serves in World War II and the Korean War. The book follows Master Sgt. David Henry through the horrors of war and through racism in the service and at home. He survives two wars and returns home, gets married and he and his wife raise four adopted mixed race children from Europe. The effects of the war leave him with mental and physical scars, and it takes years for him to begin to recount his war experiences to anyone.
While fishing one day he meets a fellow fisherman named Jim, and the two become friends. Over years of many fishing trips with Jim, Sgt. Henry begins to describe the hell of war to Jim, and the life and death struggle he endured to stay alive. Jim also recounts to Sgt. Henry moments in his life that were psychologically painful. Both men work to share and understand each other’s emotional struggles, in spite of some differences at times.
The book also covers two of Sgt. Henry’s adopted twin children. The twins were adopted while the Sgt. and his wife were stationed in Germany. Their mother was Austrian and their father was an African-American service man. He was shipped back to the U.S. shortly after the twins were born. German society considered mixed race children as “out casts”. With pressure from her family and German society, the twin’s mother gave them up for adoption, but she continued to write letters to Sgt. Henry and his wife for the next 40 years.

Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature: How Civilization Destroys Happiness by Chet ShupeIn one of the most popular TED Talks ever, Professor Robert Waldinge of Harvard asks: "What keeps us happy, as we go through life?" He then tells us about the “Harvard Study of Adult Development." The data taken on that study of the lives of 750 men, over 75 years, reveals that good relationships are what keeps us happy and healthy, throughout life—not wealth, privilege, or fame.
This is one of many studies that tell us something that each of us knows, down deep: To love and be loved is essential to our sense of wellbeing. Yet, loneliness is endemic in our world, because we are conditioned to believe that love is something we do. But, actually, love is a mind-body reaction to specific sets of circumstances. We don’t love others, because they need us, nor by intent. That is to pretend love. We love others for only one reason: Because we need THEM! In fact, the word “love” is so synonymous with the word “need” that the words can be interchanged in virtually any sentence, and not affect the meaning.
For the first two hundred thousand years, or so, that humans walked the earth, unconditional love was implicit to our existence, because people depended completely on the mutual support of one another to survive. Now, our survival depends on the services provided by centralized systems of authority. Consequently, we love our governments unconditionally—so much so that we willingly kill and die for them during times of conflict.
In his book, REDISCOVERING THE WISDOM OF HUMAN NATURE—How Civilization Destroys Happiness, Chet Shupe reveals why humans innocently subjugated themselves to external systems of authority, and how that act repressed our innate wisdom, which previously had naturally guided us, through feelings. The book reveals what must happen for us to regain our natural sense of purpose, belonging, and direction. Just as we cannot love, by intent, we cannot restore our natural emotional connections to one another, by intent. The good news is: Our innate wisdom will restore them for us, if we allow it.
As a whistle-blower to the world, Chet Shupe speaks with urgency about the need for people to rediscover their connections with their own nature, if we are ever again to experience the contentment of sisterhood and brotherhood that is our natural heritage. Chet Shupe is an electronics engineer who suffered from severe Attention Deficit Disorder, for much of his life. When he was 43, his condition was finally diagnosed, and he began treatment with Ritalin. Suddenly, life made sense. As a result of that extraordinary experience, he began writing on brain dysfunction to provide a conceptual framework for medically treating the brain. As a result of that effort—combined with his professional knowledge of system control theory— Shupe’s subject soon changed from brain dysfunction to cultural dysfunction. He realized that the brain cannot find lasting contentment, nor can it produce behavior that serves its species, when functioning in a reality that, emotionally, it does not comprehend.

The Jewish Confederate Story: Experiences and Motivations by Samuel Jay KorsonThe American Civil War was a defining moment in US history, and its underlying issue of slavery divided the nation. In this insightful historical investigation, author Samuel Jay Korson who writes from the perspective of his own Jewish faith, sheds light on the experiences of Jewish individuals living in the Confederacy during this tumultuous time.Southern Jews found themselves in a complex position, facing a conundrum that forced them to navigate a double-edged sword. Living in a majority Christian society where many participated in slavery and anti-Semitism ebbed and flowed, many Southern Jews opposed slavery on moral grounds, while others participated in various aspects of a slave society to assimilate into their communities. Despite practicing their faith and observing important Jewish holidays like Passover, Hanukkah, and Shabbat, Southern Jews were caught in the middle of a divisive issue that even Jewish clergy struggled to reconcile. Using Jewish law (halacha), rabbis in both the North and South vehemently argued both sides of the slave issue. Through this compelling exploration, readers gain a deeper understanding of how the Civil War affected not only the United States, but also the Jewish community as a whole. By examining the experiences of Southern Jews during this pivotal moment in history, Samuel Jay Korson reveals a unique perspective on a complex and multifaceted topic.
A native of Philadelphia, PA, Samuel Jay Korson grew up in both Philadelphia and nearby Bucks County, PA. After graduating high school in June 1967, he attended Bucks County Community College (Associate in Marketing) 1969, Penn State University (Bachelor of Arts in Business) 1971, the U. S. Naval War College, 1994, and Mary Washington College with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, 2002. He enjoys reading American history (Civil War and World War II, in particular), and Jewish studies. He is a veteran with 23 years, active and reserve, with the U. S. Coast Guard.

Within Silence . . . Finding Your Power and Purpose
by MindScope Seven
The last few years of growing calamities, and extremism have proven an inability for Communications and Situational Awareness. Around the world, conflict resolution skills are rarely taught as a core curriculum of education. Leaving most to start families and enter the workplace with little to no knowledge of handling conflict. Roughly, only 5-10% of people have awareness, but 95% think they do. An alarming statistical disparity. Through personal experience within my own family, I became challenged to find new ways of resolving difficult and dangerous situations. In doing so, it became necessary to find a peaceful means for all concerned parties. After my discoveries it was important to share these new approaches of meeting old problems with success. I then authored and carefully crafted the book Within Silence, Finding Your Power and Purpose. The book was written in third person, with a special concern for getting the message across to the reader without naming names. This allowed readers to internally reflect with a neutral state of mind. Within this stance able to translate to their own relative experiences. Thus, able to create sustainable solutions that includes all people in the responsibility. It is a book about resolving conflict, and providing the tools necessary for transformative, and lasting change.

She found a passion for serving others, through the strength required to cope and heal from dysfunctional, and dangerous situations.

The Bible is a Single Book by H. Doyle SmithGod is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. The Bible tells of his powers and more. Everything we need to know to be saved are all in the Bible. Most people, though, think the Bible is simply a written recording of anecdotes of God and his interaction with humans and the testament of his power. That is, however, not all of it. The scholars have excluded the apocrypha, purposely preserving the teachings that are constant throughout the books in the Bible.

Radioactive Era of Change by Isaiah LopezThirteen years ago, a mysterious bolide collided with earth. Like a nuke, a massive explosion swallows Arlington and the surrounding area, changing the world as we know it. Now, I wake up to a new life, a changed world, and new powers. People fly around with wings like depicted angels, and flames spew from mouths and hands with heat all too real and all too deadly. Some control the very earth we tread or the very air we breathe. Others change into beasts or wield ineffable strength and unparallel durability. With all this fantasy becoming a reality, one has to wonder, why are we here? Why are we stuck underground to undergo these tests? What is our government planning for us? What is going on in the world above? What is with that rock that started it all? Now that the secrets are exposed, we fight for our new lives, and I take it upon myself to lead these new people in this changing world.

Screen Boy: Everyone Should Have a Chance
By: Matthew Patrick Gallagher
Matthew is a true believer of people, the world, love and dreams. As the father of four children he looks at the world from a child’s eye. Screen Boy is the story of what we are doing wrong. Chance is the Dog that comes to fix it.
Screen Boy is a book about a young man that gets caught up in the world of technology and gaming and loses his friends, his athleticism, and his priorities. He realizes one day that he is lost in screens and a virtual reality and the only one left to save him is his trusty dog. Screen Boy is the sign of the times for children and parents these days as they see their kids spending hours on their phones and gaming devices—so the story is very relevant and interesting. Moreover, it is the actions taken by the boy and the dog to correct the situation that is the real message, as Screen Boy rises from his despair and gains focus toward his goal of getting active again and being a respected athlete to his family and friends. Readers of Screen Boy should take with them the message that the iPhone they carry should not own them, and that they can own their destiny, and that with hard work and unconditional love one can do anything.
Matthew Patrick Gallagher is an American author, entrepreneur, and thirty-year veteran of the Information Technology business. Among his works in the writing world, Matthew released Screen Boy “Everyone Should Have a Chance” in May of 2022. Screen Boy is Matthew’s first published book, although he has written many which will be released over the next few years. Screen Boy was expected to be a great hit and has exceeded expectations.

Ex-Gay Christian: Souls at the Crossroads by Robert WilliamsThis author embarked upon life's journey from the town of Kinston, North Carolina, and, at age ten, accepted the LORD JESUS CHRIST as Savior and joined the Christian community at age twelve, and began hearing the Holy Spirit's still voice encouraging and guiding me into all truth. Over the years, he has faithfully kept all pledges.
Sharing this testimony has undoubtedly placed me on a thrilling journey. I have attempted to be a faithful witness. To complete this affirmation, I've often put down my pen, but the Lord granted me fresh and more incredible revelations and compelled me to continue. If I had but two pearls of wisdom to offer the reader, they are these priceless lessons-always obey Father God, regardless of the critics, and remember, never again disobey His voice.
As a Christian educator caught up in pornography and gay interests, I assumed there was no way out; arrested and cast aside by my church family and those close to me. Then, at my lowest, the Lord rescued me and commissioned me to share my testimony with others who have been rejected and forsaken. He said to tell them of His love.A retired civil servant, I reside in upstate New York; my passions-reading, writing, bicycling, and being a servant sharing my story to reach others who have lost their way. The Lord made it clear to Write the vision and make it plain. You will begin snatching people out of the clay, the muck, and the mire by embracing those erroneous lifestyles. I have expanded your consciousness; therefore, share what you have learned. They will listen to you when they don't listen to others. You will speak to millions. Make certain you give them the unadulterated Biblical word.

The Push Back by Lawrence ClaytonAs our country goes through trying times, the author put together the best of his op-ed columns, published in his local newspaper, The Tuscaloosa News, which deals with the issues facing our nation today. Clayton ranges all the way from the issues very close to home and family, such as what is being taught in our schools, colleges, and universities, to issues straddling the incredibly complex and often rancorous events in public life, from the presidency of the nation all the way down to local school boards. He not only identifies and analyzes issues we are all, more or less, familiar with, like Project 1619, critical race theory, the programs of diversity, equity, and inclusion in virtually all colleges and universities across the country, but the reader will also find suggestions and remedies for a world that has become almost dysfunctional or dystopic in today's language. These suggestions range all the way from establishing new programs of study that emphasize our traditional values, like liberty, equality, the right to vote, personal responsibility, and furthermore, call for a restoration of the home and religion to fashionably modern concerns with sexism, racism, and other expressions leaving young people at loose ends on who they are and what is it that made the nation so prosperous and generous until this day. As a historian, he does not ignore what went wrong over the years in the making of our people but deals with them honestly and explores many answers suggested by a close reading of both natural law and Christian Scripture.
Lawrence Clayton taught Latin American history and the history of the Christian church at the University of Alabama where he is a Professor Emeritus of History. He is the author of Work and Wealth in Scripture, Bartolomé de las Casas: A Biography, The De Soto Chronicles, Grace: W. R. Grace & Co. and the Modernization of Peru, 1850-1930, A History of Modern Latin America and other titles. He was born in New Jersey and grew up in Lima, Peru. He served in the U. S. Navy, 1964-1966, as Weapons Officer aboard the USS Donner (LSD 20). He lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. His blog is laclayton.com and his web page is lanthonyclayton.com.

Social Networking as a Motivator for Social Gathering: Social Networking, Activism, Protesting, and Law Enforcement Collaboration by Dr. Henrietta Abbey In the United States, many activists use social media platforms to interact with protesters to organize demonstrations and protests rapidly. Some politically motivated social gatherings organized online are without the knowledge of government or law enforcement personnel. The gatherings can become violent and result in chaos. In 2016, five officers were shot dead, with several others wounded during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in Dallas, Texas. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent to which a variety of social media platforms contribute to New York City protesters and activists' participation in demonstrations that potentially pose a threat to the community. The study adds to the field of Public Policy and Administration by providing significant findings and suggesting that different approaches and attention to activists and protesters in the social media space could reduce influences that trigger and justify disruptive behaviors during public demonstrations while more promptly alerting appropriate city officials and law enforcement officers of potential problems. The study axis is a qualitative methodology explicitly focused on a phenomenological understanding of responses provided by activists and protesters understood and interpreted primarily according to Social Support Theory, developed by Robert E. Park. The findings of this study will help New York leaders develop prevention policies and safety techniques incorporating and responding to online activity that may avoid a repetition of the violence that happened in Dallas, Texas. Additionally, findings, interpretation of the data, and implications discovered will facilitate opportunities for protesters and activists to collaborate more effectively with city officials and law enforcement officers. Research findings from participants and data analysis revealed that protesting is an effective cause for social change, reformation, justice, and humanitarian enhancement in society.

FORTY YEARS to LIFE by Brenda Bradford WardThis work is a vivid description of a life-in-hiding very few people ever will experience. Society errs either on the side of lax and harmful permissiveness or of harsh and destructive suppression regarding gender identity conflict. To address the problem effectively, we first need to understand it; and a pendulum approach to resolution only exacerbates the pervasive fog that persists regarding it. Long after an elegant solution finally ends the conflict before or shortly after birth, professionals and others still will be studying the fact of the condition's ages-old history. What it is and how best to deal with it are questions which must be addressed. These questions are central to Forty Years to Life
Ms. Ward grew up in a house full of music and a family focus on small town retail banking. She too devoted herself to finance for decades with a finance-concentration MBA and a career in financial services. But she always felt a compulsion to pretend secretly to be someone else---suppressed. It took decades for her to approach transition. Once begun, transition was unstoppable. Years later, she examined her experience in The Fallacy of Assignable Gender. Beginning a new life as a PhD student in sex and gender psychology, she seized an opportunity to revisit her earlier work and she completed Forty Years to Life.

I love it and she loves it. I am copasetic.

Vision of Hope: Rebuilding A Life Destroyed By Drugs and Alcohol by Leilani FaberVision of Hope is an important contribution to the growing number of stories by recovering addicts, for its well-written account in terms that are touching yet honest, in both the low points and high points of her story. Perhaps most significantly, Leilani Faber's life story brings us to a conclusion that includes a current life and an optimistic future that should make her, her children, and her mother proud. It literally offers hope for anyone who has found their life severely impacted by meth or other drugs and demonstrates that despite the damage done by meth use, with hard work, redemption is possible and a new life awaits anyone willing to make that commitment.
As a child, Leilani Faber, dreamed of being an author or a super model. But she started drinking coffee at the age of 13 and it stunted her growth just like grandma warned. So, she decided to be an author. She took several detours. She waited tables, wrote grants, worked in a factory, managed a restaurant, night clerked at a hotel, and the list goes on. Along the way she earned two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree. Leilani is also an entrepreneur who owned several businesses including writing services, house-call salon services, carpet cleaning, private investigating, and counseling to name a few. Her vast and varied life experience has given her material and wisdom that she shares through her writing and as a therapist.

At A Cross Road: Church Troubled: Consumerism & Simplicity by Venerable, Dr. Felix Udo AnyasorThere are some Ideological and structural vices of life, and when not given attention, may spread like cancer. Consumerism was known to be a societal and secular vice, in a sense, and also one of the engendering factors to corruption in the governmental and some business areas. But when consumerism finds its way into the church, where worshippers are supposedly spiritually edified, then the world itself is in trouble. "When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"(Psalm 11:3).
Venerable, Dr. Felix Udo Anyasor provides an in-depth look into the church today, and the many terrible effects consumerism has on the individual members and church community as a whole. He provides guidance on how to overcome this proverbial tumor, to walk in love as Jesus; making sacrifices on the mortal plane to save souls now, and the afterlife.
About the Author
Venerable, Dr. Felix Udo Anyasor moved to the USA in 1982. He has always stayed in touch with his connection to Nigeria, specifically his tribe, the Igbo. He has been involved in community activities ranging from cultural to religious organizations. Dr. Anyasor and others saw the need for the Nigerians in Diaspora to identify with various important organizations, especially churches that serve the community. He is currently the rector at one of the churches, Christ Angical Church in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Anyasor is married with four children and some of them are integral part of his ministry. He enjoys singing, preaching, exercising, and swimming. He has special interests in writing, travel, and education. Before becoming a pastor, he worked as a registered respiratory practitioner. He received his Doctor of Ministry Degree in 2019 from Houston Graduate School of Theology.

Two Fishes from the River Nile by Prophet Allyson Michael D'Espyne For families who have found out the truth of their past generations, Jesus is saying thank you to you, for now you will be able to rest in the soul of Jesus. Longer life will be given to you, so that you will be and will become a light that will burn for generations to come. The memories of innocence far outweigh the torments of this world. The love of Jesus grows deeper in your bellies, as your sufferings increase.To families who have to take their loved ones to and from hospitals, because they have lost limbs, Jesus is saying your fruit from the tree of life awaits you. The pain of love that is shared in homes that do everything to the limit of the love of Jesus in setting higher standards, your fruit from the tree of life awaits you. Your prayers may not have been answered in the time that you desired, but your fruit from the tree of life awaits you.The blessings of Jesus though rich and powerful will not elude you because of pitfalls. An impassioned heart is a fervent heart. To wear the face of an eagle, as the beast that stands before the throne of God saying Holy, Holy, Holy is to have tremendous power on the face of the earth. This gift will be one of great miracles, which have never been seen, since the habitation of Our Lord Jesus.
The Glory of Jesus, whose garments were dipped in his blood by the Holy Ghost will be worn by him on his return to the earth. The coming of Jesus will be fierce.
Prophet Allyson Michael D'Espyne is a non-denominational Holy Spirit Teacher. He is a hymnist who sings and writes all his songs and lives in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Impossible Dream by Jasper Fullard, Jr. MDRacism and healthcare disparities have always been a problem in the Black community, especially small country towns. This book illustrates how a poor Black boy at the age of twelve watched his mother almost die from the lack of adequate health care from a White doctor.
I come from a very poor family of eleven children, poor education environment, low self-esteem, and with no Black professionals except for Black teachers to inspire me and other Blacks in the community; but at the age of twelve, I promised my mother that one day I would become a doctor so that Blacks would not have to suffer from the lack of adequate health care. The promise to my mother was "an impossible dream."
By reading this book, you will learn how the miracles of God navigated my crooked journey and how the impossible was made possible, and I was able to obtain a bachelor of science, master of science, two years on a PhD program before completing a medical degree. Along with other health care providers, I was able to organize a not-for-profit organization to decrease healthcare disparities in the Black community.

Fighting to Survive: The Suicide Disease by Judy V. RentzAre you hurting, pain that comes upon your body every day as you rise? Do you have pain you've tried to explain to doctor after doctor, searching always for anyone who could understand and offer compassion to you? And yet no help comes time after time. No one knows, understands, or even searches information for the "Monster" that takes you to your knees, grabbing and holding anything to help you get through the unrelenting attacks that many times cause you to think you cannot survive. There is help for you. I write this to let you know we "sufferers" now have help. Six and a half years I lay in gripping, deathly pain, but praise God, help came. Read on, you can also be helped if this is your story.
I'm definitely a country girl and proud of it. However, with my husband's job with JC Penney Co. we've moved from one side of the country to the other, seeing much and learning to meet people from all locations in the world. We had a great time showing our two children some wonderful sights in this amazing country!I love all the people, but nothing has impressed me more than the upbringing I had in our small country area outside of Maryville, TN. I credit my mother. Studying every afternoon was her lifeline. She told us many times over how the Bible would have us live. This is my most cherished memory and certainly has attributed to the person I am today, not perfect, but always forgiven.

Piper Finds Her Special by Alison Keenan
Piper Finds Her Special provides a peek inside the mind of a therapy dog as she discovers her special purpose in life while providing a reading program for children. This is a true story about Team Keenan who works with children who have reading challenges. Through the magic of unconditional love, the dog and her owner help children lose their fear and anxieties while reading, and ultimately, increase their reading skills and comprehension. This book describes how reading programs with a therapy animal can improve confidence, grammar, and overall scholastic ability. Therapy animals provide a calming and nurturing atmosphere, which is effective in treating PTSD, depression, stress, and other anxiety disorders. Studies have shown the negative impact our current realities have on mental health and well-being, but the calming, loving and charismatic nature of reading to a dog improves mood, environment, and reading fluency.
Alison is a Registered Nurse living in Tennessee. Following her struggle with a rare blood disease and her dog's diagnosis of kidney disease, she made plans to work with her Golden Retriever, Piper, to become a registered therapy dog. Both Alison and her dog learned from their medical challenges to turn their adversities into blessings by giving back to their community. They completed specialized training so they can provide support through a program called READingPaws®. Together they visit schools, libraries, and other reading programs to help students improve their reading skills and comprehension. They also visit local hospitals, clinics, support groups, and programs to provide emotional support and companionship. Alison is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Nursing. She enjoys playing the bagpipes and sings in her church choir. She participates in prison ministry to incarcerated women in Tennessee. In her spare time, she enjoys scuba diving with her husband.

How to Control Your Mind Like a Car Instead of a Rollercoaster by Marcellus StanleyAt times we all may get a little frustrated with our minds and how we think. Sometimes you may feel your thoughts are controlling you instead of you being in control of your thoughts. This book can help you to see how you can be more empowered to take control of your mind and thinking. It helps you to understand that if you can learn to drive and control a car, then you can use those same skills to be in more control of your mind and your life.
In my own unconventional way I want you to know that every time you get behind the wheel of your car that you are in control. The same way that you and controlling that car, you can do the same by your controlling your mind instead of letting it go like a rollercoaster
Let's face it, we are all on a journey and it depends on what transportation you use and the roads you take that will determine the adventures that you experience along the way. Since life is full of ups and downs and unexpected twists and turns, it's important that we take time to learn how to best navigate it. My goal is to give you a few life hacks that may very well show you some better ways to help navigate and control your mind through this journey of life like you would a car, instead of letting it go like a rollercoaster

President Trump And My Neighbor: Two Different People Who Are Very Much The Same by Max Foster Always try to see the positive side of things. If there are enough of you out there that find this story entertaining, I might make enough money to sue the hell out of my neighbor. Now that was not very nice. I have learned from this experience. If someone tries to destroy your life, you should not lower yourself to their level and try to destroy theirs.
When author Max Foster and his wife moved to eastern Washington state to start life over, they were confronted with the proverbial Neighbor from Hell. Coats has a legitimate grievance; if his neighbor has done only half what's alleged, he still sounds like a nightmare. When the story turns to President Trump, the Pivotal chapter is Titled Why is your president so much like my neighbor?

Chopin Through the Window: An Autobiography by Franziska Stein and Amy Crews CuttsFranziska was a young girl of just fifteen when Adolf Hitler annexed her homeland, the Sudetenland, to Germany. While she was making plans to study philosophy and art history at the prestigious Karls University in Prague, the tides of war were ominously rolling toward her. Conscripted into the Red Cross as a nurse to tend wounded soldiers, her idyllic life ended, replaced by a fight for survival and a search for love. At the end of the war, she was evicted from her home by a series of inhumane laws meant to punish all Germans for the transgressions of the Nazi regime.
From witnessing the losses imposed on civilians during war, she dedicated her life to seeking justice on behalf of others. The next seventy years of her life would play out across three continents and be touched by the Cold War and a civil war. Her past would often collide with her present in the most unlikely places and in unexpected ways.
When I met Franziska Stein in 2016, I knew that I had come into the company of an extraordinary woman. In her remarkable autobiography, Chopin Through the Window, she confirms my impression as she chronicles the incredible life she has led over the past nine decades. Her story is detailed and sweeping in scope, replete with events and episodes played out against the historical backdrops of the times and places where they unfolded. Throughout, she demonstrates time and again courage, resolve, family commitment, drive, and an unending quest for justice. Her book holds lessons for all of us, but especially for those who cannot at times see the way forward. Ms. Stein shows us in so many ways how we can cut through immense difficulties and move on, and in doing that she has done us all a favor. Get the book and you'll see what I mean." -U.S. Ambassador Johnny Young (Ret.) Sierra Leone, Togo, Bahrain and Slovenia.
About Amy Crews Cutts
I am an economist by training and by trade, having earned my PhD in economics a long time ago at the University of Virginia. I spent over a decade at Freddie Mac, ending my tenure as senior director and deputy chief economist, positions I held for my last 8 years there. I then was SVP-chief economist at Equifax for 8 years before setting off on my own as a consulting economist in 2019. I have written over 20 articles in peer-reviewed economics journals and edited volumes, but Chopin Through the Window is my first non-economics work. I am a noted expert on housing and mortgage markets, consumer credit, and macroeconomic forecasting. I am frequently cited in print media such as the WSJ and the NYT as well as trade media.
For all these accomplishments, bringing my grandmother's story to readers is I think my biggest, and most important, one.

Deliver Us From Evil: A Prayer For Our Times by Dr. Arnold O. ThompsonDeliver Us from Evil: A Prayer for Our Times is a book written for the volatile evil times in which we live and what primarily the Christian church needs to know and do about it. Its purpose is to move beyond the performance stage to view the backstage, to look behind at the often unrecognized spiritual and evil infrastructure that constantly influence and corrupt what we see on the world's popular stage. It explains why truth on every level is under attacked. It exposed the satanic strategy of lies, camouflage, hidden agendas, hidden spiritual wars that contribute to evil in the world. It reveals the many ways in which the Christian church is being dragged into wars God did not call us to fight, while neglecting the one he called us to fight. It reveals why the evangelical church is so deadly silent about God's good news to our world while evil news is always viral in our times.
Most of all, this book lays out how we must fight our battles. It reveals the detailed biblical battle plan God gave his followers to follow, to fight, and to win. It shows the path back to the real spiritual war against evil God called his people to engage. It delivers the often hidden foundational reason and purpose for Christ's prophetic prayer to his followers. This book shows Jesus's prayer was meant particularly for our times and dispensation just before he returns to finally and ultimately "deliver us from evil." It is one of the most important Christian books for survival for the Christian church's effective witness in our times.

The Death of Wisdom The Rise of Folly: Why We Must Care by Dr. Arnold O. Thompson
"Wisdom is riding on a passenger train of time on a collision course with destiny, and we are all in for the ride. This book is about wisdom riding on this train."
These words, as part of the introduction of the book, set the specific context and overall challenge and purpose for this book. Here, wisdom is likened to a lady riding on the train of civilization past prominence in a social, political, and spiritual direction. But the book argues in recent times, she has been forced to ride in the back of the train. Her wisdom of the ages is despised, and her steady influences of the ages are ignored.
Now we live in a vast field of folly. How do we find our way out? How do we see her, hear her, and love her again? This is the story of this book.

Budget Your Goals Not Your Silver by H. Doyle Smith
When the author purchased a property in the mountains, he daydreamed about owning a large tract in the area. On reflection, he asked himself, What will I do with it? Without a use, the land would have no value. This insight showed him that the value of the land depended on the objective for which the land would be used, not some other person's opinion of its value. As a result, when he studied economics in college, he questioned the basic definition of an economic transaction. Rather than finding that that transaction was an exchange of currency for goods and services, he found that the basic transaction in economics was the use of a resource for accomplishing an objective. This enabled him to look at economies where money was not used.
The title of this book, Budget Your Goals Not Your Silver, is the result. Car salesmen are taught not to sell cars but what the cars will be useable for. The real estate agent must sell what the house can be used for and not the house itself. Cash economies must use data, and data is not available unless there is a unit of measurement, but the process of obtaining what is needed is not limited to cash economies. This book discusses the process of economies. As essential as economic studies are, valid economic studies must use data. But understanding the process goes beyond that study.The author, H. Doyle Smith, grew up in North Carolina, but has lived in ten states, worked in twenty-two, and visited all but one. He has been a CPA for thirty years, a corporate auditor, a hospital controller, and a real estate agent. For a time, he taught accounting at a small junior college and holds a master of arts degree in two-year college teaching. A member of Mensa and other high-intelligence groups, he lives in Ohio and is now retired.

Why & How to Avoid Sugar & Lose Your Sweet-Cravings with Susan Smith Jones, PhD

According to our guest today, holistic health expert Susan Smith Jones, PhD, far more loathed than fat or cholesterol these days, sugar has become public enemy No. 1 when it comes to the health of America. In fact, in our effort to listen to doctors' orders (and government guidelines) to consume less fat and cholesterol, Americans have turned to so-called “healthy” low-fat foods that were actually loaded with sugar.
Susan will share her best tips on why we should eliminate sugar from our diets, how to do it, and surefire ways to eliminate sugar cravings
For a woman with three of America’s most ordinary names, Dr. Susan Smith Jones has certainly made extraordinary contributions in the fields of holistic health, anti-aging, optimum nutrition and balanced living.

Prophecy: Now through the End Times: Time Line to the Return by Wayne J. BentleyProphecy: Now through End Times starts with the Great Apostasy (a falling away) and continues to explain the events of Revelation, in order, up to the Return of Jesus. If Jesus did not return, the events explained in this text would lead to the extinction of humanity. Jesus said, "No flesh shall be saved." Humanity ends, it is an extinction event. The events leading up to Jesus's return have the days shortened and the Earth tilting four times, killing off most of humanity. Everyone in Asia dies except the two-hundred-million-man army that is attacking Israel when Jesus returns.
Here in the United States, the coastlines will be destroyed by an object from outer space that hits the Earth and sends tidal waves around the globe. The heartland will survive with the help of the Church of Philadelphia. There is little to zero trade between the countries of the world because the object from space destroys the ships.
The Antichrist rules in the revived Holy Roman Empire and declares himself god. He kills every Catholic in his empire and attacks Israel.
Jesus said, "Watch, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things."
Wayne Bentley has lived his entire life in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He has a masters of education, BS degrees and teacher certification from Grand Valley State University with majors in mathematics and social studies and a minor in physical science. For twenty-two years, Mr. Bentley taught at Grand Rapids City High School, one of the highest ranking high schools in the nation. Wayne is retired and widowed from Karen; they raised five children and over twenty foster daughters. Wayne taught Bible classes, in homes, verse by verse for fifty years. In these classes, people were able to ask any questions they felt were important to them, including about the fulfilling of prophecy. The answer to the question of “when” had to be answered “I don’t know”. However, recently (2015), the timing of events fell into place.

The Poorhouse: America's Forgotten Institution by David Wagner
Though poorhouses (sometimes also known as almshouses or poor farms) were around United States' history for nearly four centuries, there has been little written about them. Not only was this institution critical to the history of social welfare and the poor but also for the disabled, correctional institutions, and aged. The book not only reviews history, but it analyzes how institutional care has in recent years regained its dominance in social welfare.
David Wagner, Ph.D. is an emeritus professor of sociology and social work at the University of Southern Maine. He is the author of twelve books and winner of several book awards. During his career, Wagner was one of the few professors in America who worked on documenting the history of poor people in America as well as working with groups of poor people in contemporary times. His website is davidwagnerbooks.net and seven of his books were re-published in 2021-22 by Gotham Books.

A Level Life by Daniel JaureguiThe main purpose is to discover an unknown and isolated point, which impedes the efficacy of the fullness of freedom and happiness, which have been preserved for the abundance that naturally exists in life; but it could not be discovered, due to the lack of information, because it is thought and believed that we are already complete with what we have learned and lived. Therefore, such a point is described and discovered in this book, with the main objective that it no longer prevents the development of a more appropriate life; even though someone may already be living happily. But, I believe that we all deserve or would like to live and feel better every day, in such a way that each circumstance of life can be enjoyed in more detail; even in those that we cannot change or that we do not like.
My name is Daniel Jauregui. I was born on 1973, in the city of León, Guanajuato, Mexico. But I grew up in Ranch Ojuelos, Municipality of Mexticacan, Jalisco, Mexico. Since 1994 immigrated to the U.S.A. living in California, in the Los Angeles and San Francisco area, which is where I currently reside. Almost, I have always been working and studying. I started my studies to learn the English language; then to obtain the Hight School Diploma (GED); Immediately theology to obtain a Minister Evangelist license, which, was achieved, ending with a master's degree.

THE NAIL by Joseph Padilla
Hello, my name is Joseph N. Padilla. Author of the novel, "Adventure the Long Walk, Afterchrist", now comes "The Nail." The Nail is my effort to recreate some of the mystery and awe that must have surrounded those souls fortunate enough to have encountered the massage of our savior either during his lifetime or soon after. As the story begins, Joshua Saul is about as low in the social scale as anyone can be. A beggar at the gate called Beautiful in Jerusalem of 48 A.D. He is penniless, homeless, illiterate and, for all practical purposes, without faith. Yet, in the story's final scene, Saul stands preaching to an arena filled with scoffers of God, and in an act of divine inspiration, calls on the Holy Spirit to act so clearly that all within sight are made to believe in the power of Jesus Christ - All through the symbolic power of a simple nine-inch nail. Joshua Saul's life begins it's ascent toward spiritual fulfillment on Golgotha - literally. While resting against an old crucifixion log after burying his mother, he finds embedded in the ground an old nail. Strangely soothed by the. nail, he tucks it away in his girdle. Little does he know the profound changes this simple act will bring. Soon enough miracles of rebirth, healing, and spiritual redemption sprout around Saul. With an open heart and a willing soul, this simple young man is transformed into a vessel for the message of salvation brought to earth by Jesus Christ, and so doing fulfills his destiny. A tail of spiritual growth, adventure, and romance. The Nail opens a new window on the story of Christ and the transformation of his holy presence enacted on even the physical objects that he's come in tough with.

She Could Be You
By: Margaret Joeline Brinson
We all have feelings that we may or may not take time to assess. These poems were written to express and convey these feelings. Even though actions speak louder than words; words help us face the challenges we are dealing with in our lives: time, racism, inequality, injustice, independence, as well as peace, love, and mortality.
About the Author
Margaret Joeline Brinson, a native of North Carolina and middle child of ten children, is the author of My Branch of Life; a book of poems published in 2019. She served her country in the United States Marine Corps; she also held government positions in Washington, DC. Her capable administrative skills have served her well in the private sector and educational fields in both New York and North Carolina. When she is not busy writing or traveling either overseas or domestically, or attending the Olympic Games, when possible, she volunteers her services at a local hospital in Florida, where she now resides.

Embracing the Law of Attraction: Out of the Box, Into the Light by J. M. JonesEmbracing the Law of Attraction was written with the hope that the reader will be able to relate to the stories and scriptures. The book is designed to help the readers identify areas of their lives that need changing. By using the workbook, affirmations, scriptures, and the journal, the diligent student will begin to experience small changes, or perhaps large changes. By documenting their growth over time, the student will really begin to see how the Law of Attraction works and see their lives improve. The people who can help along the way, the opportunities that will be offered because of the change in thinking patterns, will impress them.
Change and Light will become a regular part of life. Life is supposed to be FUN! Have fun with your life! Start laughing at all the little gifts that are sent your way.
J.M. Jones enjoyed every moment that was used in connecting thoughts and ideas, finding relevant quotations, and Bible scripture. Her belief that each person creates their own life by the thoughts they think, has completely impacted the message of embracing the law of attraction. Since her own life has changed and has been greatly impacted by being conscious of her thoughts, it was only natural for her, a teacher, to want to share it. Part of the change includes finding daily small things to bring joy. The attitude of daily gratitude keeps the sun shining. J.M. Jones is surrounded by natural opportunities to embrace all that is beautiful in the lakes, mountains, and people, and embracing nature, honesty, and goodness, because Life is meant to be fun

Messages from the Small Country Church: Readings, Sermons, Observations, and an Invitation to More Than Just Donuts! by Rev. Dr. C. Joseph FiferIn this day and age of "bigger is better," even our churches are starting to follow suit. The alarming trend that is occurring now in America is the assumption that if a group is big, it must be right; if a church is bigger than others, it must be (therefore) even "more" right.
This assumption isn't correct! This nation was built and has become what it is today (or at least what it was) one small church at a time.
Many of those small churches are still with us, right where they were first necessary - still necessary today. They are occupied by Christians who meet every first day of the week and many days in between, gathering to give the first of their week to worship He who is to be first in Spirit and in Truth and then continue through the week to support one another in blessing and grace.
The Reverend Doctor C. Joseph Fifer holds degrees in theology, ethics, and divinity. He is an ordained minister of the Christian faith and is the called pastor to a small country church in rural Ohio. Like many pastors of small churches, he has spent a lifetime and more than one career gathering true life lessons to bring a real-life understanding to the pulpit. His expository preaching through these lessons has made his teaching worth exploring and experiencing. With a sense of duty and a call to serve, Pastor Joe began his career in the enlisted ranks of the United States Marine Corps. Later, he became a police officer in southern Florida where he and his wife raised their family; he commanded a major narcotics unit, among other duties, and then retired in order to serve the higher calling of the Lord that was always present but is now more personal and intimate. Raised Roman Catholic, reformed Lutheran, re-reformed Evangelical Lutheran, and then trained in the Lutheran, Wesleyan, and Evangelical traditions, his claim is now Christian, and his call is to Christ. His belief and focus is that religion and faith, even our corporate expression through worship, is best practiced and most effective in the intimate setting of real love and fellowship found in small churches. This fellowship grows between the Pastor and the people, and the people as the church, all bound in Spirit and in truth.

Presidential Maxims: Excellence In Leadership (Volume 1) by Raymond RobersonPOTUS-does the name give you a positive or negative reaction? In a time where our country is extremely divided about the current Presidential role, those reactions are mixed, but it is certain that this role has shaped our past, is still relevant to our day, and will affect our future. With his power limited by the checks and balances of the federal branches and his duty as commander in chief aside, a President's influence can be felt most keenly in the attitudes his demeanor fosters among his nation's citizens, it is that influence that drives this book's focus. Forty-five men in our history have defined this role, and their contributions establish a pattern of leadership that we can benefit from now and reap rewards from their influence, as individuals, to bring change to our communities and ultimately to our country.
Leadership traits are identified herein for the first nineteen Presidents with birthdays from January to June chronologically, their life experiences summarized with brevity to show learned behaviors that can foster a successful life, along with quotations that reflect their personal philosophies. For instance, the well-respected George Washington said of his personal standard, "I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable title the character of an honest man." Through study and personal application of the maxims like these and traits manifest in these men, we can each enrich our own domain
Raymond Roberson has been an award-winning educator for the past fifty years. He was educated in American History at Huntington College. He later earned his B.A. at Ball State University.
His public teaching career began in the Bluffton Harrison School District, where he taught elementary, middle and high school Social Studies.

Darkwind Chronicles: The Second Act by Christopher Michael Cifelli
Continuing where the First Act left off, Magnetin and Delphine must depart ways in order to gather enough information and recruit enough allies in order to end eons of suffering brought onto the world by a parasite that was responsible for inciting the Orcish Horde, infecting Aeternum and leading to the Mad War. Meanwhile, Jacob the Betrayer has been on an ill-conceived crusade against those who participated in these events and has went off the deep end. With everything coming to a head, the final battle is at hand.
Christopher Cifelli was born and raise in Philadelphia, PA, and attended the former Edward Bok Vocational High School. While Christopher has been writing for a while, Darkwind Chronicles: The First Act is his first attempt at publishing a book.

Nana's Summertime Treats by Sharon Rogers
As far as my family can remember, from back in the early 1960s up to the present, most summers when school is out African American children are sent down South to stay with close family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, to learn how to work the fields or just for free child care. In those days, we truly believed in the scripture that says, "I am my brother's keeper" (Genesis 4:9).
This story is about a little girl named Kiari in the twenty-first century, and the routine continues. Kiari is taught that Nana, her grandmother, does her share to keep the family going. What Kiari learns is that being a good cook is hard work. Kiari also learns some reading skills and business techniques at a very young age. She looks forward to sharing this valuable time with her grandparents.

Diary Of A Seeker: Tales & Anecdotes Of A Life Student, Volume 1 by Daniel Hayashi A revelation into the majesty of personal spiritual fulfillment, which our often insecure and self-serving egos fight to deny our higher spirits and each other. How astute introspection and reflection opens our minds and hearts to an inner and higher awareness that eventually awakes the Christ consciousness.
After ages of unconscious slumber and through multiple incarnations of oblivion and status seeking, do we awaken to our true divinity and immortality.
This is a collective treatise told in near daily tales of our soul's wondrous progression and the beauty of our spiritual struggles. Through divine guidance of conscience and the laws of karma, do we earn our way back to the rapture of Nirvana.
Daniel Hayashi graduated from Chouinard Art Institute (now California Institute of the Arts) in 1970 with a B.A. in Fine Arts and a minor in Psychology. He and his wife Suzanne owned a publications and graphic arts company in Manhattan Beach. CA, until retiring in Arizona and being guided to do so. This collection of tales is a result of that spiritual calling.

Ancient Wisdoms: Exploring the Mysteries and Connections by Gayle RedfernGayle Redfern's interest in spirituality has been life-long. This led to her degrees in psychology and holistic health.
As a psychic, lecturer, motivational speaker and author of three books, Inner Bridges, Ayurveda Demystystified and Within & Beyond, she introduces us to the value of ancient knowledge as a means of bringing peace and harmony into our lives. Many cultures learned these values millennia ago.
Today, she shares the significance of applying ancient beliefs and laws to modern society. When individuals apply our ancient's beliefs to daily living, they bring their body, mind and spirit into balance. Each individual balance then transfers over to the entire community.
As she continually explores various societies, she sees how some cultures achieve this communal harmony while other groups lose the peace. Through her fourth book, she reacquaints us with the world's ancient teachings.

Key to Biblical Doctrine by Jerald L. BrownThe Bible is a big book, with history, stories and laws handed down from God. But what is the central theme of the Bible? If we miss everything else, what is the one concept, the One Rule that God wants us to know and do above all others? Is this rule simple enough for children as well as adults? How would this One Rule affect today’s Christians? At one time, slavery was a subject of heated debate in churches, with Christians taking both sides of the argument. Today only one side prevails: slavery is against God’s will for humanity. But that was then. What about today? What issue is dividing today’s church? It is homosexuality. How does God’s central theme, His One Rule, apply to homosexuality in the church today? "Key to Biblical Doctrine" reveals the key passage of the Bible that will in turn help anyone to understand all other scripture. Even the newest believer will be able to judge the merits of doctrines presented by long-trained theologians. Babes in Christ will now be able to know when their own church is accidentally going against God and the Bible. Escape the maze of confusing religious doctrine by learning the one simple key by which you may judge everything else.s Jerald L Brown is an evangelical Christian. He holds the Bible to be the inspired, infallible word of God. What is written in the Bible is just as relevant to people today as it was the days when it was first written. As Paul told Timothy, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16, AV, 1873, Cambridge)A problem occurs when Bible translators use their own culture and church doctrine to define words and attitudes written by holy men long ago. Jerald Brown seeks the Bible's author's culture and background to understand that author's words and meanings.
Jerald attended Trinity Bible College in Chicago, which later became known as Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. Before graduating, he joined the United States Army Medical Corp during the Viet Nam war. He served three years as a medic in Germany and four years as a pharmacist, including one year in Thailand in direct support of the Viet Nam war. During this time, Jerald continued to attend school and do personal studies and research. Jerald seriously and devotedly studied the Bible for fifty years. He listened to the arguments of scholars who are more learned than he. He read commentaries of current and long-passed theologians. That doesn't mean he is now without error; it just means he tends to know what he's talking about and his opinions at least merit consideration.

Cry Into the Wind: A True Story by Othello BachCry into the Wind is a spellbinding story of triumph over incredible tragedy, and an inspirational guide for those struggling to overcome the effects of abuse. Abject poverty, a house fire that claimed her mother’s life, the loneliness of an orphanage where she was separated from her siblings… and so much more … yet nothing was able to break Othello Bach’s spirit. She couldn’t read until the eighth grade, yet sold her first novel to Avon Books at the age of 27. She is the author off 17 published books and has 35 recorded songs by Broadway, TV, and Hollywood stars Joel Grey, Tammy Grimes, and Sandy Duncan.
“Othello Bach is a force. And this book proves it.” -- Joel Grey
“Cry into the Wind” is a page-turner from beginning to end. It is a compelling story of survival and an inspiring testament to the strength of the human spirit and raw determination -- Dave Pelzer, author of “A Child Called It.”
“As illustrator of four of Othello’s books, I’m sure that her hilariously inventive take on life must have helped her overcome many obstacles.” -- Sandy Huffaker, nationally syndicated political cartoonist, fine artist and illustrator.
Othello is a best selling multi-genre author of numerous books which range in scope and variety from suspense novels to children's books to non-fiction "How-to" books. Her memoir "Cry into the Wind," chronicles an abusive childhood, including 11 years in an orphanage. Although a non-reader until the eighth grade, she wrote and sold her first novel to Avon Books when she was 22. Othello often composes music and lyrics to accompany her children's stories, and celebrities Joel Grey, Tammy Grimes and Sandy Duncan have recorded her books and songs. She is a motivational speaker who loves to share "the tools" that helped her overcome an abusive past.

Finger Hingez by Jose GarciaNew millennium collection of poetry that range from shamanistic nature observation to relationships to abstract thought. The title was chosen by inspiration by the book "Criticism" by Charles Kaplan, in which a description of a poet is someone who's creative ability transpires from God's hand[s]. Starting from the tip of the finger[s] first ring, or joint, up to the middle then to the knuckle would depend on the quality of the poet. This book has some originally created Spanish language poetry with a pure translation for the reader. The literature has heavy slang to educated speech. All, though, in a style unorthodox. Some epigrams are also included in this package."

I have been fortunate to have a completed works from that time and completed enough to add to my first publishing Finger Hingez. This book is all poetry and the largest in volume in comparison with Smokey Lounge the second publishing by I. Finger Hingez is detailed with dates at the end of poems and prose; and time and date at other poems: A significance to the rocky road adventures at times and a corralling finality to poems imagery and exclamations. I had a great deal of fun directing my expressions and emotions at my talent then in all fortunes a team to motivate possibilities affordable to publish and create covers and formats inspiring to do more with ease.
At, Smokey Lounge, I decided to go to a higher level of the abstract and sublime of Finger Hingez with some of Finger Hingez poems. The completion and the team work with both AuthorHouse and Lulu staff were very worth the efforts in all due mentioning every step of the way, thank you I look forward to publishing a third book some-time soon.
The kindle format looks great with same hard copy type fonts. Book sign ins another future hopeful. If you enjoy reading poetry you will enjoy my books. Thank you for your time.

Diane is a certified minister under the authority of Church Growth International of the Americas. In ministry she served 16 years as a spiritual mentor working with men and women seeking a Christian solution to addictions. For the last two years, the Holy Spirit has been leading her to write and complete books to help people who are seeking a closer walk with God
Life is a journey. if we let God lead us, it is a wild ride. There is no ending of this wild ride if one surrenders to God. Mine began in a hospital in Pensacola Florida where I think God stamped nomad on my crib. Before graduating high school, I had lived in five other states and attended at least two different schools at the three major levels. Transition, change, and leaning into family and God were regular occurrences in my early life. As an adult I have lived in three different states. I believe God has finally settled me in Illinois. I have lived in five different Illinois cities over the past 35 years.
As an adult I have raised two sons as I served as a cub scout leader, a 4H leader, and a band mom traveling with our competitive marching band. I have served on parent run boards to support my children's activities and in little league refreshment stands. Off an on during this time I applied my biology degree to teach middle school and high school sciences. During this time I applied my love of art to having my first art show, dabbling in writing short stories about children and learning to play the piano.
Professionally, I applied my Master's degree in counseling to primarily work with disadvantaged people of all ages. Sometimes I was employed in this field and other times as a volunteer. God took me on some interesting journeys as I learned the multiple ways people react to stressful situations. Through it all I served in my churches and spent many hours in my prayer closet with my best friend Jesus.
God definitely has a sense of humor and keeps stretching those who love him. After retirement, I had no idea when I said yes to God I would be learning to worship like King David did! I think God took delight in teaching me. Then he moved me on to writing what he has been teaching me. These books are the results of intimate time I have spent with God in my prayer closet with King Jesus. I hope you enjoy the fruits on my journey.

Knowing The REAL God by Dr. Telva MillerThis book was inspired by the struggles that my husband and I endured. I knew that I was called by God; however, I did not realize the struggles were allowed by God. This book allows people to see my walk, struggles and pain that I endured because of being called. My story allows the world to see that if God called you to it, then hold on because He will bring you thru it. Dr. Miller is a nursing educator and currently is the Dean for Riggs College of Allied Health and CEO of Millers Nursing Review. I enjoy sharing and spreading the word of God to others. I pray this book will be an inspiration to others in their personal journey with God. This book was inspired by the struggles my husband and I experienced even though I was called by God.

Show the Value of What You Do: Measuring and Achieving Success in Any Endeavor by Patricia Pulliam Phillips and Jack J. PhillipsProve your effectiveness to anyone—and achieve professional success—by adopting the same ROI methods and metrics that leading companies use.
In an era of evidence-based inquiry, people need to be able to demonstrate the value of their projects credibly. But how do you do that when there isn’t an obvious measure connected to the project, like increased sales?
In their new book Patti and Jack Phillips, the cofounders of ROI Institute, show how you can adopt the same methodology used by more than 6,000 organizations in seventy countries to evaluate large institutional initiatives. By following their six-step process, you can build a case for any project, process, or intervention, even so-called soft programs. For example, the first case study in the book involves successfully demonstrating the effectiveness of chaplaincy in an intensive care unit.
The authors explain how to link your project to a meaningful business outcome, make sure your project will actually influence that outcome, identify metrics that will show if you’re making progress, collect and analyze data, and use the results to build support.
This book includes extensive examples from a wide range of organizations: businesses, nonprofits, schools, law enforcement, and more. It provides diagnostic tools and supportive practices and even offers advice on how to find a positive interpretation for results that don’t conform to your anticipated outcome.
Answering the question “Is it worth it?” defines the ultimate value of any project. Using the methodology this book presents will keep your work relevant, your career on track, and your organization healthy.

GETTING RIGHT WITH GOD by Joseph C. Way B.A.,B.D., MDiv.
For centuries, numerous people have asked "How do you get right and stay right with 'god'?" Since a person's god is whatever they value (love) the most, possible gods are limitless. When asked from the Judeo-Christian perspective, the question is narrowed but the answers are extremely diverse. Due to many identified factors, the author believes incorrect answers have been too frequently offered, starting soon after the death of Jesus and continuing to this day. Due to God's nature and ours, the author bases his answer exclusively on appropriate (God-like) love as described and practiced by Jesus. The ancient Hebrews recognized the original answer and Jesus repeated it when he insisted we love God above all else and then love our neighbor as our self. Paul got it all wrong. Jesus did not fill the empty spaces in Paul's Judaism. Believe Jesus and act like it.
Author Bio: I was born on a small farm in southern Mississipp, along with six siblings. After graduating from high school with highest honors, I entered Millsaps College from which I earned a B.A. One year later, I entered Vanderbilt Divinity School and earned a B.D. and MDiv. For forty-two years, I was an active minister in the United Methodist Church, with twenty-three as an Air force chaplain, five as a V.A. chaplain and fourteen as the pastor of local churches. In nineteen-sixty-four, due to my efforts to promote integration, I was forced to leave the state to protect and provide for my family and myself. For my efforts to promote integration, I was awarded membership in "Who's Who in American Methodism." I am a certified therapist for Alcohol and drug abuse, resulting in a book outlining a new approach to recognition and treatment, entitled "A Pain in the Gut." My wife of sixty-five years and I now live in a retirement community in Georgetown, Texas. We have two children and two grandchildren.

Revelation Questions Answered: Promised Before the World Began by Larry A. HeidelbergThe life lived here on earth is one precious yet fragile, borrowed life—a person’s death is inevitable. But what stirs up so much curiosity is how the earth—and everything—is going to end, and the Book of Revelation surely piques so much interest.
As the vivid apocalyptic imagery in the last book of the Bible yields so much fascination, the Book of Revelation equally leaves everyone puzzled. Various versions have been made, which makes the book more overwhelming. And so, one can either delight or worry reflecting over the prophesied end of the world.
Notwithstanding the different interpretations of the Book of Revelation, it is the only book that promises a blessing. Revelation–Questions Answered: Promised before the world began uncovers this blessing and clears all confusion. Larry Heidelberg mindfully ushers true believers to the answers to all the pressing questions that the author himself struggled with, thoroughly clearing up the air, leading to one’s peace of mind, secure in God’s promised blessing.
The profound messages and detailed images in the verses of the Book of Revelation have intrigued many people, including Larry Heidelberg. Since his education at Baptist Bible College, he has been dedicated to studying the Book of Revelation.
As a firm believer in the power of faith and how belief translates into exceptional writing, Heidelberg authored Revelation–Questions Answered: Promised before the world began. He brings to light why God promises a blessing in the Book of Revelation, thus encouraging worship rather than confusion over the last book of the Bible.

Half a Ton of Majestic Energy By Nathan BernsteinHalf a Ton of Majestic Energy is a fictional account of the everyday activity and breathtaking drama that occurs at the many thoroughbred racetracks. "Suspense." That is the one word that describes a day at the racetrack.
"Riders up!" The bugler's call to the post. The Post Parade featuring the aristocratic half-ton animals and their colorfully-garbed courageous jockeys.
"They're off!" Then the homestretch finale voiced by the excited track announcer; followed by ear-deafening suspense as the finish line is approached. Then the tote board results for the anxious betting public.
Nathan Bernstein and his wife, Rita, are resident natives of Chicago. The author holds a BSC in Marketing from Roosevelt University; his BA in Studio Art and MA in History were awarded by Northeastern Illinois University. A sports enthusiast, Nathan Bernstein was Art Director for five years for a major sports publisher. He also played utility infield in junior college and attended eight Randy Hundley baseball fantasy camps. For the last twenty years Nathan Bernstein has been an owner and breeder of thoroughbred race horses. Venues are Hawthorne and Arlington race tracks, and the former Sportsman's Park.

THE SHORT BIBLE: A CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS by Peter J. Bylsma
The Bible is widely considered to be the most profound collection of books in all of history, and it includes messages and stories that are still referenced today in the secular world. But it’s long, complicated, hard to read, and not organized in chronological order.
In The Short Bible, author Dr. Peter Bylsma offers basic facts about the Bible, discusses the development of the modern Bible, and reviews its themes. He summarizes all the books of the Old and New Testaments in 25 short, easy-to-read chapters, capturing the epic stories, characters, and main ideas. Structured like a modern book, it also includes historical and geographical facts to help clarify the context of the events.
The Short Bible is appropriate for those who are already familiar with the Bible, those who want to better understand its overall themes, and those who simply want to know the fascinating stories and messages of the most read book of all time.
Peter J. Bylsma earned a bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College (IL) and a master’s in public administration and doctorate in education leadership and policy from the University of Washington (Seattle). Dr. Bylsma served 10 years in Christian agencies before working 30 years in government positions at international, federal, state, and local levels. He has researched many topics in an objective and nonpartisan manner and summarized the issues for busy leaders. He’s lived in seven states and four other countries. Bylsma now lives with his wife in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.

God's Opportunity by Hampton Scott TonkRevised and Expanded Edition
It is said that man's extremity is God's opportunity. Christianity, at root, at its finest moments, in the finest sense of the word, is Evangelical, what I call "straight-Gospel Christianity." Straight-Gospel Christians - whether straight-Gospel Protestants or straight-Gospel Catholics or straight-Gospel Anglicans or straight-Gospel Orthodox - can relate to each other in Christ not just well but in some very deep and profound ways whose foundation is fundamentally that of the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Holy Scripture. They are already practically of one heart and of the one mind for which St. Paul pleaded (see I Corinthians 1:10) in imitation of our Lord's earnest prayer for the unity of His disciples (John 17) concerning the Gospel of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ.
In fact, St. Paul the Apostle himself - he who was once Saul the fiery and zealous Pharisee (the Pharisees are the ancestors of rabbinical Judaism) testified that in a certain mysterious sense Jews - who, after all, gave us Y'shua - Jesus - whom the early Christians - the followers of "the Way" - proclaimed as the Messiah (Hebrew mashiach) - are the foremost participants in the Mystery of Salvation (See Romans 9-11), for they were the first to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom (See, for instance, Isaiah 52:7-10).
Therein lies our hope and our opportunity - and, more to the point, God's opportunity - for a Christian unity which will set the world on fire for Christ.
It's God's time. It's Kingdom time. It's the fullness of time. It's God's opportunity!
Hampton Scott Tonk holds a Bachelor of Arts from DePauw University (1965) and a Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological (in 1974 “Divinity”) School in Cambridge, Massachusetts (1972 – which later merged with Union Theological Seminary in New York City).
He spent the first years of his Christian life as a Protestant (chiefly Congregationalist but later as an evangelical Lutheran and as a member of the Assemblies of God) and is also familiar – from the inside - with most of the major Protestant denominations.
On August 9, 1955 at a United Church of Christ summer camp in Sawyer, Michigan, while sitting under a tree quietly reading the Scriptures he came to faith in Jesus Christ and confessed Him as his Lord and Savior. He was only 11 years old at the time.
He then spent 26 years in the Episcopal [Anglican] Church, serving for 12 of those 26 years as a member of the Episcopal clergy.
He then spent 23 years in the Orthodox Church.
Since his teens he has laughed with, studied with, fellowshipped with, had fun with and prayed with the Jewish people and in the process has learned how fundamentally and amazingly Jewish are Christianity’s roots.
Simultaneously – since 1959 - he was also fascinated by the Roman Catholic Church, into which he was received on December 8 of 2017, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Patron Saint of the United States of America.
He was formally educated in Latin, German, and New Testament Greek and can speak French, Spanish and Italian as well.
In 2007 he founded a ministry called “Share the Word Ministries,” a ministry consecrated to unity among Christians and Jews and the evangelization of the world.
He is also the author of a forthcoming book entitled YES, LORD! A Conversion Story.
His third book will be entitled How I Became Successful in Business and in Life – and Why My Failures, Mistakes, and Experiences of Being Fired Were the Best Things That Ever Happened to Me.
He is a listee in the 2019-2020 edition of Who’s Who in America.

Signs of the Times in 2020: The Beginning of Sorrows by Joe Irizarry We might ask ourselves what is going on during these challenging times in which we live. What is happening? Are we being punished by God? Is it the end of the world? Are we living in apocalyptic times?
Many biblical end-time prophecies are being observed in our present time. If we open a newspaper or are informed about current events, we can see it right before our very eyes. We can read about wars or rumors of wars. The Bible foretells the cataclysmic events; earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, pestilence, plagues, famines, locusts, and Christian persecution. The hatred of Judeo-Christian values would be prevalent upon the earth, such as seeing in the present times.
In this book, I will attempt to explain what is happening in the world from a biblical and prophetic viewpoint and some of the events we should expect next.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, to first-generation Puerto Rican parents, Joe Irizarry is an entrepreneur, marketer, and writer. Throughout a multitude of trials and hardships, in his 20's, his life took a turn when he focused on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Since becoming a Christian, Joe has used his unique life experiences and understanding of the Bible to circulate God's word. In 2018, he founded JoeIrizarryNoticiasCristianas.com, which is primarily focused on spreading the gospel throughout Latin America. In 2020, he felt compelled to write Sign of the Times due to all of the compounding evidence he had observed that closely paralleled many of the Bible's prophecies.
Romans 15:4 - For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

The Holocaust and the English School: The Refuge that Saved Young Lives by Barbara WolfendenAs the Nazi threat spread across Europe, prominent English citizens established a school for traumatized refugee Jewish children. Pupils and teachers alike showed resilience in the face of war-time deprivations, facing down the suspicions of locals while mastering the intricacies of the English language. The German-born administrators, themselves refugees, helped the children through loneliness and fear with a progressive-inspired education which they graced with kindness. The teenagers watched the orange skies lighted by Luftwaffe bombings of London forty miles to the north yet, still ignorant of the horrors of the Holocaust and the fate of their parents, they came of age in a place open to fun and comradeship. In the process, they formed unbreakable, lifelong bonds.
It was the author’s husband, Martin Owens, born Martin Friedenfeld, whose story inspired the creation of this book. Wrenched from his family in Vienna at ten, Martin landed in the supportive arms of an extraordinary boarding school in England. Surrounded by others who shared the same fate for being Jewish, he transformed himself from persecuted child to English-speaking teenager who loved classical music and sport. In his last and final country, Martin became an American soldier, a quietly modest and successful employee, and a cherished father and husband.
Barbara Wolfenden has divided her professional career as a writer/manager for a major computer company, and earlier, as co-founder of Tampa Preparatory School, where she taught Spanish and held the position of Director of Studies. She is the author of Are We There Yet?, a collection of stories about women and issues of equality and fulfillment in the post women's lib era. She lives in a small town west of Boston, and enjoys the company of her friends and family while continuing to write short stories that deal with working women's issues. A former UN Guide and New England coastal sailor, she has traveled much of the world. She holds an MA in Spanish Language and Literature from Brown University.

Not knowing if she would get one because they were scarce, her intense prayer work with her community of women, and a twelve hour ritualistic shamanic healing in the Arizona desert facilitated a miraculous gift of a new liver and a successful transplant.
Today at age 86, she has lived long enough to welcome seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Her prayers were answered!

Identity: A Child's Cry by Olga Cornejo TorresThere comes a point in our lives, when you realize, who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. Don't worry about those people from your past because they belong to the past. There's a reason why they didn't make it to our lives, for me, as a victim people said, blood is thicker than water, and these words hurt. I would like to share these words with the World even if we are blood-related or not, we are all children of God. He is with us at all times, a smile, look up to him.

I, WITNESS: A STORY OF PERSONAL REDEMPTION by Joseph A. McGee
I was a lone sinner, dying of cancer, and carrying the burden of guilt when Christ came to me. It was by His grace, and His grace alone, that He showed me mercy, and because I believed, He saved me.
Really, I am a very ordinary person, but God did an extraordinary thing for my salvation. This was my problem: I wanted to be a "better Christian." I wanted unshakable faith, like Daniel in the lion's den. However, I wasn't really able to do it. I tried to do it with my mind. I tried to do it by "works." I tried to do it with my will.
I was tripped up by my own efforts. I sat in the same church pew for nearly twenty years, said the same words every Sunday, and tried as hard as I could to believe them all. I gave to the offering, to charities, to capital campaigns, went to "work Saturdays," attended finance committee meetings, helped after church services to count the collections.
Then, I was diagnosed with cancer, stage four. To be completely honest, I was scared inside. "No! Not now! I'm not ready!" But I was ripe for testing. God doesn't wait until we feel ready. He sees all, we do not. God uses all things, even calamities and floods and wars for ultimate good. Everything in my life, my childhood, my sins, wrong turns, even cancer, has led me to be exactly the person I am now: a witness to the Risen Christ.
I wrote this book because I was put onto a deep faith journey that culminated with an amazing waking vision with Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ-Yeshua is His name Hebrew, "Jesus" is Greek).
As stated on the back panel, I had stage four cancer, and was not prepared to face this death and all the suffering that likely goes with it. The mental part is probably worst. How do I talk to my wife about this? Am I supposed to cry, to be stoic? What do people do? Why is this happening to me now?
Then there was also unresolved guilt over things that I had done or said or been part of over a lifetime. Was I really forgiven? Is there really an afterlife? How can I be sure?
Cancer is just one of many crises us mortals go through.
People lose their jobs, lose businesses they have put their life savings into. Marriages break up. Spouses die or even children. How do we cope? How is it that a loving God does not keep these from happening? Why can't we ever be safe?
But, of course we are lucky. In other places, possession of a Bible can mean prison, torture or death.
Nevertheless, our crises are real and our pain and death are frightening. Hurricanes, riots, CoVid 19. How can we give meaning to all this?
The miraculous thing I discovered is that there is meaning and purpose and hope. Our hope in Christ is not in vain, and there are valuable lessons in these tests and trials we must go through. All of them are explained in the Bible when read with open, enlightened eyes. Unfortunately, Just as in John 9, sometimes the enlightened eyes are not with the people who we turn for help. Where is the help in telling a mother who lost her child and comes for understanding that "it is a mystery?"
A dear friend told me (now a year ago-publishing a book is a very daunting task for a beginner), that she thought I had been given a great gift. I think gifts of the spirit must be paid forward. I came home and wrote for two days, with only breaks for eating sleeping and walking, a rough draft. I completely believe the Holy Spirit helped me do this.
Therefore, I offer this to you. I hope it helps. Any money I make I plan to donate to the local emergency shelter. I pray it helps people.

Defending Your Faith: Facts and Reasons for the Christian Worldview by Arturo R. OrtizThis book presents substantial scientific, archaeological, and historical evidence in support of the Christian worldview. The author argues Christianity is the only religion that affirms God as revealed by nature, identifies the terrible predicament of mankind lost in sin, provides a unique solution to the predicament, and is confirmed true by miracles. Evidence from modern astronomy reveals a created biblical cosmos. Evidence from modern science reveals the earth is a privileged planet uniquely suited to support intelligent life, not by chance but by design. The inadequacies of evolutionary theory are explained. The author argues intelligent design and creation are superior explanations for the origin of life and the appearance of complex living organisms. Ancient Assyrian chronicles and monuments provide extrabiblical evidence of Old Testament people, places, and events. Archaeological evidence verifies that Israel's pagan neighbors engaged in hideous religious practices, including extensive child sacrifice. The evidence shows God had morally sufficient reasons to destroy those nations. Examination of ancient manuscripts confirms the Bible was transmitted and translated accurately throughout history. Historical evidence supports belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and in the subsequent rise of the early church.
Arturo Ortiz is a physicist and aerospace engineer, currently retired after 33 years of Air Force and civilian service in the space and missiles field and aircraft flight test. He has a Master of Science in Space Studies from the University of North Dakota, a Master of Science in Physics from California State University (Northridge), and a Certificate of Achievement in the Study of Christian Apologetics from Biola University, California. Arturo is dedicated to service under the Great Commission and to teaching Christian apologetics. He currently resides at the Florida Space Coast, where he attends a vibrant non-denominational Bible believing congregation.

TRANQUILITY, SOLITUDE, AND OTHER POEMS by Karen Lee OliverThe force or strength of tranquility in everyday life is the existential center of my book. Pure philosophical thought colored by tinges of images of good and evil all baring some relationship with tranquility, the lack of tranquility, feelings of tranquility itself, pathways that lead to tranquility, meanings of tranquility in life and finally the beginnings of tranquility and our basic need for a tranquil life. This theme which runs through the center of my writings uses the poetic format combined with imagination to present to the reader new ideas, develop strong feelings and artistically express the fundamental and almost religious devotion of us all to peace and tranquility.
Karen Lee Oliver was born in Poughkeepsie, New York on October 1, 1959. She studied at St. Agnes School for girls and graduated High School with Honors from Rhodes Preparatory School in New York City in 1976. She obtained a B.A. degree in English Literature from the State University of New York at Albany in 1981. Ms. Oliver has been writing her own poetry since 1986 and has published three works of poetry with her publisher, Xlibris; Pergola in 2002, Tales From the Mirwood in 2005 and Tranquility, Solitude and Other Poems in 2015, a recommended read by Blue Ink Review, 2016.

Tricia's Odyssey: A Tale of a Young Women Search for Happiness by R. L. AtkinsTricia Flick appears in Finding love at the lake and now she continues her path in search of happiness. She has come into a fortune when her father dies suddenly. She decides to get away from home for a while and buys a motor home. Along the way, she meets several other women who are ready to leave their families behind in search of their own happiness. She meets Kitty in Maine and they decide to go on an extended road trip across the country. In New York State they get acquainted with Lois and Sylvia. They have been closeted lesbians for a long time and decide to be themselves and be OUT in the world rather than pretend to be happy wives at home. They have a lot of wild experiences with Tricia and Kitty. The reader is treated to sexual conduct as well as an exciting trip across this beautiful country. See if these four women really find their happiness.
I am a new writer who has decided to dig into my past experiences in life regarding young lovers and their involvement with sex. We all have had some of what my characters experience. It has been fun building them in my mind and then letting them loose on the pages of my books. I am sure that you will enjoy reading about their adventures. I retired from the boring day-to-day life of an Accountant. With my retirement, my imagination has gone wild, and I have kept very busy putting these stories of young women together. I have traveled to every State and part of Canada. Everywhere I go I see girls that excite me and I think about what they would do with each other as they mature. I was born in 1940 on a Farm in rural Pennsylvania. The last of five children, I grew up nearly as an only child as my siblings were much older. I had a vivid imagination back then and now, I am able to put some of the things that I have seen or done on paper. I hope to continue in the Erotic Romance genre’ for a long time

88 God Given Poems For Encouragement by Miss Jerry Lee Schock
My heartfelt thanks to all who have encouraged this publishing.
Through the years, my desire was to publish and share with others who may need
encouragement. Many poems have been emailed and handed to those in need along the way.
As friends and loved ones were in valleys and going through trials,
God would give me words of encouragement for them.
Every poem was written out of a need someone had that the Lord sent my way.
The poems span many years of writing and are from the heart, as the Holy Spirit led.
May the words continue to bless and encourage those who read.
God has answered so many prayers through the years, and with the publishing of this the poetry,
yet another is answered.
May God bless each of you.
I was born March 25, 1943, followed by Stanley Thomas on July 2, 1944, then Jeremiah Jr. on August 18, 1948, to Jeremiah and Ada Lee Schock. I am grateful for a Mother who taught me how to give, and so grateful for a Savior, who taught me how to live. I accepted Jesus at 13, I remember Mom saying, if there is something you want to do, do it now, tomorrow may never come. That faith and philosophy has carried me through life. Mom’s words, as I would tell her something good that had happened were. “See honey, that angel is still on your shoulder. I have watched him work things out for you that would never work for anyone else.” I am more blessed than anyone I know. God made me an encourager and a prayer warrior. Today my only prayer for me is: Lord, help me be what I should be for You, so I can be what I need to be for others.

IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU by Viola Trevino
After a one night stand. The other women stood between us. I decided to get a divorce after 23 years. I decided we should get a divorce.Even after our divorce The other women would end my life. With the help of the justice system. That had gone wrong I was facing a life sentence in prison The fear of being sentenced on a murder charge would have been less than the 41 Years. I was facing a love affair.
The Entrapment of my Divorce; My life had changed overnight. In the most unspeakable way, you can ever imagine. It started when I mentioned to my husband that my co-worker/friend had a Spitfire Sports Car. She wanted to sell. I asked my husband if he wanted to test drive the spitfire sports car. My husband decided to fill up the Spitfire.
While pumping gas, this woman working at the gas station walked up to my husband and leaned against the sport car. She whispered to my husband ear. If you give me a ride to my house, I’ll have sex with you. She said it as if she had done it before. Several months later. Around six o’clock before picking up my kids. I noticed another vehicle on my driveway; the bedroom light was on. I decided to ring the doorbell but no answer. I went to the side of the house and, look inside the bedroom window. Oh my God! My husband and some women were naked alongside my bed; they were sweating hard like two pigs in a Pig-style position. I didn’t have time to absorb what I had witnessed. The other woman (Annie) immediately ran to the bathroom and called 911. My husband just stood there staring at me, speechless. I dreadfully turned to my right. I heard a voice beside me, and I jumped with fear. There stood police. Annie had immediately called 911, declaring she feared for her life.
The Police; walked up to me and yelled, what’s going on? I stood there confused; I didn’t know what to say; finally. I said I was trying to get into my house. The police instantly stopped me. He then said the man inside the house said he doesn’t know you. I yelled out, “what”? Are you kidding me”? I said, look at my driver’s license. The police said Ma’am do you have a place to stay. I answered Yes, my sister lives around the corner. The police escorted me to my sister's house. The police explained to my sister what happened. She said that’s her house. My children and I were forced to stay at her house till I went to court. My husband and I were now facing our first domestic violence, I would now be facing the most horrifying judgment of my life. I was now facing a life sentence in prison over a love affair. It’s an Unbelievable true story; It Could Happen to You as it did to me with my life of truth. It’s a complicated story to digest. I would start my story by introducing myself. Before I met my husband.

Whom Shall I Fear by Ronald GilesI can only hope that the perception of my readers is not that they were being forced some sort of social orientation that I adamantly proclaim to be true. I am merely fulfilled and excited in sharing with my reader the fascination of my imagination unleashed by my own thought and perception. I still feel small when standing beside an ocean or standing at the foot of some majestic mountain.
There is absolutely nothing narcissistic about any perceived intellectual value of my material. With my thought, I am like a kid who has Christmas every day and just can't wait until a session of show and tell at school. School being that outlet that provides a platform to adamantly present to the world, as they know it, a catharsis of grander and emotional joy one thinks will result in an elevated sense of elation in the people she will engage for years to come. The initial excitement of such sharing will, for many, carry over to be the impetus, of the great ones. Those who will entertain the world with the genius of their writing, the inspiration of their music. There are others that introduce the world to new and fascinating dynamics because of scientific discoveries and their ability to collect available resources and ascertain profound ways in which to utilize those resources.
The mind itself being the apex of such resource and intelligence. I am sure that my collection of thoughts is a compilation from the stages of my life that resulted in untapped empirical knowledge and thought. I think I became truly infatuated with written expression at a very young age, during the time when the record company Motown was at its peak. The great Paul Anka wrote a lyric that sent me for a loop. He wrote that "memories are times that we borrow to use when we get to tomorrow." Where will the world be if discerning people stop sharing their thoughts…where will the world be if we all stop or refuse to share our emotional excitement and the gifts of joy that they have encountered
Born and raised in the Kansas City area in the 60s, writing a book was never an inclination. Joined the military in August 1970. I think all the travel, while in service of my country, created in me such fascinating experiences, while at the same time, meeting a variety of people linked to as many cultures. When I retired from the military and the potential for so much travel lessened, I found that I still had a thirst and a hunger to know even more about people and things in the world, so I began to read. I acquired a zeal to share the newfound knowledge I got through reading, so I picked up the pen. All the time, feeling it to be a responsibility to pass on intellectual intuition, so I began to record all my thoughts, as well as spirited engagements with others, at which point my book Whom Shall I Fear was birthed.

Present Suffering, Future Glory by Diane S. AbernathyOn August 12, 1995, James Abernathy, fifteen-year-old son of Larry and Diane Abernathy, was playing Marco Polo in a neighbor's swimming pool late one night when he dove into the shallow end, breaking his neck and becoming permanently paralyzed from the shoulders down. In this book, Diane chronicles the tragic event and the years that she was his primary caregiver. She also shares candidly about her struggle with borderline personality disorder and her attempted suicide in May, 2017, which initiated a horrific experience in a rehabilitation facility. Six months after that experience of her own, her husband of forty-three years was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died four weeks later.

“No More Secrets: Sucked in and Spit Out” is for anyone who’s ever been caught in the pomp of religion rather than nurturing a spiritual relationship. A young Judson Hoyt realizes his attraction to the same sex and is in constant conflict with it. After high school Judson moves to Long Beach, California to join the ministry and finds solace in a flamboyant minister, Brant.
“No More Secrets” is a must read for those who feel lost and confused in their sexual identity and spiritual journey. This memoir from a veteran reflects on traumatic evangelical experiences which hindered his thinking for years.
"A young man's quest to dedicate his life to Jesus and the ministry that sucked him in and split him out. For anyone who's ever struggled to find their purpose or had to start over ... a poignant story of disillusionment and loss ... courage and triumph."
Linda (Freiwald) Schreiber, TV writer, two-time Emmy award winner
Author Info
I grew up in Orange County, California. After high school, I moved to Long Beach, California to enter the ministry. Later, I moved to Ashland, Oregon with my wife and one daughter at the time. In Ashland, I attend Southern Oregon University and earned a BS in Business Administration/Accounting. After moving to Washington and two more children later, I further earned a Masters in Elementary Education at the University of Phoenix.
In life, I have been an explorer. I write explorer because for the longest time I wondered why I had a wide range of interest in various career paths.
My mother would say, “You are an explorer like you father and myself." That's before I found out I had ADD. She further elaborated in her theatrical way and said, “We are all just curious what is on the other side of the mountain even though we don’t always reach the top.” It stuck to me.
To highlight my careers as an explorer in life experiences they are and have been as follows: Author, Actor, Bodybuilder, Follower of Jesus, Play Director and Producer, Entrepreneur, Father, Grandparent, Husband, Minister, Teacher, and 24 years US Army National Guard and Air Force Reserve Veteran.https://www.amazon.com/No-More-Secrets-Sucked-Spit/dp/1956876987/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=No+More+Secrets%3A+Sucked+in+and+spit+out&qid=1658356254&sr=8-2

PRAY IN COMBAT WHEN YOUR MIND IS OFF: BE PRAYED UP by Martin Latigue
Martin Latigue, drafted in the Army in November 1963, was proud to serve his country in Vietnam. Like so many other young men of his generation, he did so with honor. In this memoir, he looks back at growing up in small-town America only to end up fighting a war thousands of miles away. While in the Army, he overcame his prejudices and learned to love his Army brothers—all of them. He watched many of them die at the Battle of Ia Drang, which was the first major engagement between regular U.S. and North Vietnamese troops. Even though the author had always prayed, he had a hard time doing so while in combat. The words did not come easily to his mind. All he could think about was that he would die in battle. He thanked God for the hard training he received. He asked God to forgive him of his sins. His prayers were short—and he called out the name of Jesus over and over.
Martin Latigue hopes that this account will help others he served with in Vietnam share what it was like to fight in the Battle of Ia Drang.

The Sandman: A Wish and The Star by Deborah MagnaThe Sandman A Wish and The Star is somewhat a tribute to children and parents of adoption. Having cousins that are adopted, I tried to let children know that not always do they stay with the same parents they are born to. My moral at the end of this story explains this to them. Many children pray, wish, and cry to be adopted due to circumstances that led them to this path; and adults do the same to have children. I tried to tell the story in a way children would relate in a milder setting than what their real-life situation was in the beginning. Some children come from drug-related splits, car deaths, molestation, and beatings, so for a short while, they can dream up a happy Sandman that hears the wish of a child to her brother and is given a star, which has also been given to a couple who wants to adopt. So follow the stars and see how they are united, becoming a family.

Creative Whispers by Jeannine GingrasCreative Whispers has been designed with the help of many friends and relatives. Life experiences of heartfelt moments became the largest part of my inspiration for the creation of my poetry. I feel my work was spiritually guided as the words would flow with ease from thought to paper expressing my deepest feelings. My hope is that I may bring comfort to at least one person with the words that come from my heart and soul.

THE HAND OF GANESH by Elaine Pinkerton
The Hand of Ganesh is a novel about adoption, women’s friendship and a journey of discovery. The book has been described as follows: “Equal parts self-actualization, travelogue and mystery/adventure story.” The Hand of Ganesh dives deep into several American protagonists’ curiosity about India. As the multi-generational story progresses, two young women, Clara and Arundati, remain obsessed with finding their birthmothers. The pair travels to the Subcontinent and the world’s largest gathering of humanity, the Kumbha Mela. Against that backdrop, the two women decide how to process their respective beginnings.
A freelance journalist for several decades, I have been published in Runner's World, Family Circle, New Mexico Magazine and Tumbleweeds Family Magazine. She is the author of fiction and nonfiction books. Her newest title, The Hand of Ganesh, is set in her home state of New Mexico and India, a country she’s studied and visited throughout her adult life.
During her working career at Los Alamos National Laboratory, she was involved in multiple projects. For example, she wrote for Research Highlights, edited and designed brochures and produced a popular radio program titled “Los Alamos
Then and Now.” While on assignment to the Los Alamos Newsbulletin, she wrote dozens of articles, profiles and news articles.

Secrets Under the Apple Tree by Anne Pinchera
About Secrets under the Apple Tree is the first in a series of books targeting children ages twelve and up. It is written as a mystery designed to entertain as well as challenge the thinking skills of young readers.
This book takes place in a small town in Upstate New York. The area is predominantly a farming community rich in growing fine New York State apples and grapes. Although this book does not discuss much about the farming industry or its growing apples, grapes, or other products, the book sets the foundation for future readings with mystery overtones.
The main characters in the book are two boys. Corey spent the majority of his young years in New York City and coming up to the country to spend summers with his grandparents. Bobby was born and raised in a small town and is very curious in nature. The story is centered on the family relocating from big city life, coming back to the family roots, and a friendship between the boys' fathers that dates back to Tom Albright and the now chief of police's youth.
The boys get involved with a note and map dating back years. Believing it is something their fathers buried years ago, they set out to solve the mysterious game set before them. Instead, what they find is something that involves the whole town dating back decades.

STORMRIDER: "A Historical Novel Based on True Events" by Gordon L. "Box" Bocher
This is a historical novel which chronicles the Vietnam War and its effect upon the individuals who fought in the war and those who chose not to serve. It is definitively a first-hand account of what it was like to enter manhood in the shadow of this unpopular war. The book covers the psychological costs of combat visited upon those who fought and the damage to the psyche of those who decided that the war was not worth risking their lives to serve their country. This novel covers 12 years of military service. The last active-duty mission of the main character, Blake, was the aborted attempt to rescue 53 hostages held by Iran in April 1980. The book will inform the reader of exactly what happened in the Iranian desert on that fateful day. Finally the book describes the main character's struggle to overcome posttraumatic stress from a year's worth of combat. The fact that 40 members of his squadron have their names etched in the Memorial wall in Washington never leaves him.
I was born in New York City and raised on Long island. I spent four years at Marietta College and two years doing graduate work at Ohio State University. I gave up my 2-S deferment and joined the United States Air Force in January 1968. I successfully completed navigator training in September 1969. I had orders to fly the AC-119G gunship but I contracted cancer and was retired from the Air Force. I spent eighteen months recuperating from several operations. I gave up a 100% disability and rejoined the Air Force as a rated navigator. I flew 177 combat missions as a fire control officer aboard the AC – 130A gunship. From 1973- 1977, I taught celestial navigation. From there I spent the next three years in Air Force rescue. I left the Air Force in 1980 and after a brief stint in the private sector, I worked as an air-traffic control specialist for the next twenty-seven years. I am married for over thirty-five years and have a step-daughter and a son.

Georgie!: A Big Fish Tale by Sally Breeze GreenStories of my youth taught me that God can speak to our hearts in dreams, just like He did in Scripture. I also learned that this usually happens at night when we are asleep! I love it when God awakens me and says, "Get up and write this down!" That happened in my earlier book, Lo & Behold: A Christmas Story.
Georgie! is another story from my dream life. It is a mixture of childhood memories which take shape in the characters and events in the story-fishing with my father in the trout streams of Colorado; my husband's fishing adventures with his father as they just sat on the bank, waiting for a nibble; my brother's finding our black-and-white sheepdog at the Safeway store in Denver; a poem of a friend named "Mike."
These memories woven together with Bible verses and values I learned as a girl gave way to this story of God's grace in my life. I hope this little story will encourage those who read it to follow their dreams and know that God does answer and give them the desires of their hearts, especially when it is to help someone else!
I dedicate this book to our great-grandchildren, Addy and Connor!
Sally Breeze Green has become a published author of children’s books late in life. After attending a year of college, she was married for nearly 65 years until her husband passed away in June of 2021. They worked together in their Petroleum Engineering company for 40 years until retirement in 2019.
She holds a Certificate in Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA and has served several times as a ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church denomination during which time she also preached as a lay pastor. She spent many years writing articles for church newsletters and as choir Chaplain, writing Clef Notes as encouragement to choir members. She has also authored her own spiritual journey, In Search of Grace and a study guide on prayer, In Quest of Prayer. She is actively engaged in her church in Prayer Ministry and mentoring others in their faith and remains devoted to her family of two sons and spouses, five grandchildren and spouses, and two great grandchildren.

THERAPY FOR HUMANS: BASED ON A DOG'S ADVICE BY BILL GRIFFIN
Canine experts in human behavior concluded that humans seem very stressed and need a lot of therapy. The only way to communicate stress-relieving therapy was to compare canine and human response to different stress situations. Dog photos and humor were used to express the differences in response. If this book does not make you smile, then you may want to contact a medical specialist treating funny bone disorders.
Since canine paws do not work on the keyboard, our knowledge was dictated to the author, Bill Griffin. He learned to bark before he could talk. He has been a Pet Partner Team visiting hospitals, assisted living, etc. For eight years he was an evaluator working with potential Pet Partner teams preparing to
do visits.

Help Me Understand the Bible by Clarence WhetstoneWe approach the Bible with American eyes and therefore completely miss or misunderstand so much of it. It is an old Middle Eastern book. To really understand it, we must try to understand their culture, theology, language, and thinking. A good translation is just the first step in understanding the Bible. Figures of speech that are second-nature to native speakers-but often bizarre to others-are especially difficult. When these are further clouded by differences in customs, grasping the original meaning can be very difficult. What most of us fail to realize is that we do not think the same way the writers of the Bible thought. The logic we find so easy and familiar did not yet exist when most of the Bible was written. Without considering those differences, we try to impose on Hebrew word-pictures our Greek logic patterns. Sometimes it works, and at other times the results are disastrous. No wonder we have loud conflict and seething separation within the church today, in direct violation of Jesus' prayer for unity within his body. This book is the result of years of answering questions from students and friends. It can be understood by anyone who can read a newspaper. The Bible is the record of God's intervention in human affairs, and where he draws a lost and hurting world to himself. Despite the critics' shrill cries, the Bible can be understood
I was raised in a pastor’s family where God was in the air. The record of God’s activities, the Bible, was revered, studied, and memorized.
I was expected to become a pastor like my father. Serving three little country churches while in college was fulfilling. But one year in theological seminary became so confusing that I left the ministerial training track.
While teaching English, or retraining for Speech/Language Therapy, the Bible was always my source of strength. I wrote my Sunday School lessons and was blessed to have many opportunities to substitute preach.
The questions of seminary and my Sunday School class forced me to work through what I believed and why.
It took ten years of thinking to solve those problems. But I now have a reasoned out position that tells me the Bible is the record of God’s reaching into our world to touch many lives.

The Navajo Event: Proof of God's Existence by Rick FishmanThis book is about a young couple caught in an apartment fire, and their only means of escape is leaping out of a second-story window. Unfortunately, the husband does not survive. The woman, Carli, undergoes surgery for severe burns and a broken spine with a long recovery ahead. But when a medicine man performs a Navajo healing ceremony, Carli's skin miraculously becomes healthy again. And even more surprising, her spinal hardware has vanished! Worldwide debate ensues, and even the pope weighs in. Is it a miracle? Or, as a fanatic doctor insists, a monstrous hoax to get rich and cover up the murder of her husband? This turns out to be a sticky debate topic with no easy answers-all while Carli's life is forever altered. The Navajo Event is a captivating story that focuses on layers of suspense and the supernatural, much like a layered onion, and is often interspersed with the author's own brand of wry humor.
Rick Fishman brings something fresh to the table with this story which involves his daughter and some of her real-life experiences. It contains no profanity, sex, or graphic violence. It is for those who would have an interest in the intermingling of Christian, Jewish, and Navajo cultures . . . and also for those who would enjoy a short, humorous, paranormal mystery highlighted by fifteen photo-illustrations. Rick is uniquely qualified to write this book because part of it is based on the true story regarding his own family tragedy. He is also well versed in the culture of the Navajo Nation in Arizona from personal visits there and knowledge shared with him by his cousin, who worked there as a physician.
This is his second book having previously written the children's baseball comedy, Sandlot Summit.
Rick Fishman is an Ohio State Buckeye alum and had a split career as an accountant and math teacher, and is currently retired … enjoying family time at home reading, writing, walking the dog, and feeding the squirrels. He and his wife have two adult children. The Navajo Event is Rick’s second novel, following his kids’ baseball comedy Sandlot Summit.
Living in Cleveland, Rick coached youth baseball in Lyndhurst, Ohio for 12 years and has been a volunteer in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Association since 2013. In 1992, Rick earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records by painting the world’s largest map at Rowland Elementary School in South Euclid, Ohio.

THE JOY OF FAITHFUL AND CHEERFUL GIVING: WONDERFUL PRINCIPLES TO EMBRACE by Vincent Onyebuchi Nwankpa, PhD
Few subjects generate more controversy and are addressed less frequently than that of Christian giving. Seldom does the church deal honestly or at all with this most important aspect of a believer ‘s discipleship in Christ. Dr. Nwankpa has sounded a clear and gracious voice in bringing this discussion to the table.
Clearly written and down-to-earth, this book deals with how things really are in the church regarding money, giving, and living a life that honors the Lord and participates in His kingdom work. Vincent has done us a great favor by providing a sound biblical perspective on giving. His research, practical wisdom, and long experience as a seasoned follower of Jesus and minister of the gospel provide solid help for local and parachurch leaders.
Be warned. Absorbing this book will challenge the reader’s own values. Do we possess our riches, or do they possess us? One should be prepared to engage personally in order to gain the most benefit from this wonderful resource of information, perspective, and biblical insight. The book encourages people to know that we are all stewards of what God has given to us. We are to give our tithes and offerings as unto the Lord. We are to give according to how the Lord has prospered us, generously, bountifully, cheerfully, and not grudgingly or sparingly. When we give
to support God’s work in the church, organizations, and individuals, God is the one who rewards us according to how we have given (I Corinthians 8 & 9:6-7). He or She who sows sparingly will in return reap sparingly, while he or she who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. There are good and bad motives of giving. We shouldn’t give to get recognition or accolade. There will be no reward for such giving. Let’s give in secret and God will reward us openly, good measure pressed together, overflowing. Let’s give faithful and cheerful to the Lord
Author Bio: Dr. Vincent Onyebuchi Nwankpa holds a Bachelors of Theology degree from ECWA Theological Seminary Igbaja, Nigeria, a B. A. in Bible from Bryan College, Dayton, Tennessee, a Master of Arts degree from Biola University, a Master of Arts in Bible Translation, and a Ph.

Embracing the Law of Attraction: Out of the Box, Into the Light by J. M. JonesEmbracing the Law of Attraction was written with the hope that the reader will be able to relate to the stories and scriptures. The book is designed to help the readers identify areas of their lives that need changing. By using the workbook, affirmations, scriptures, and the journal, the diligent student will begin to experience small changes, or perhaps large changes. By documenting their growth over time, the student will really begin to see how the Law of Attraction works and see their lives improve. The people who can help along the way, the opportunities that will be offered because of the change in thinking patterns, will impress them.
Change and Light will become a regular part of life. Life is supposed to be FUN! Have fun with your life! Start laughing at all the little gifts that are sent your way.
J.M. Jones enjoyed every moment that was used in connecting thoughts and ideas, finding relevant quotations, and Bible scripture. Her belief that each person creates their own life by the thoughts they think, has completely impacted the message of embracing the law of attraction. Since her own life has changed and has been greatly impacted by being conscious of her thoughts, it was only natural for her, a teacher, to want to share it. Part of the change includes finding daily small things to bring joy. The attitude of daily gratitude keeps the sun shining. J.M. Jones is surrounded by natural opportunities to embrace all that is beautiful in the lakes, mountains, and people, and embracing nature, honesty, and goodness, because Life is meant to be fun

Till We Meet Again by Allen SweetsirIn 1936 Berlin, an unlikely friendship develops between Sidney Klein, the son of an American Army officer, and Klaus Bergman, the son of a Nazi SS officer. Although they are of complete polar opposites when it comes to the political spectrum, they develop a trust and friendship that will remain throughout the coming world war. When they part ways after the end of school, they promise each other, "Till we meet again."
Neither of the friends could possibly guess that their paths would cross again in the least likely of places and under the most unusual of circumstances. Their career choices will lead them along very similar, yet diverse paths. Their combat experiences are quite different, but both are equally affected by the death and destruction of war.
Sidney's girlfriend, Rachel, travels with her Aunt Sylvia to Germany to help Sylvia's Uncle Abraham close his shop and move out of Germany. It is also to be an opportunity for Rachel to experience the city nightlife of Berlin. A series of events that result in Rachel and Aunt Sylvia losing their passports and coming to the attention of German authorities sees them being arrested and sent first to jail and then the concentration camps.
Sidney makes a difficult decision to join the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) in order to get to Germany and rescue his beloved Rachel. He uses all available means to locate where Rachel is being held and does his utmost to be placed in a position to liberate her.
Life in the concentration camp is brutal, dangerous, and subject to mistreatment. Both women are fortunate in possessing skills that make them "essential" personnel, extending their lives and probably improving their chances for survival.
As the war draws to a close, Sidney is leading a rescue party headed for the camp at Dachau, and Rachel. Little does he suspect that the promise he and Klaus Bergman made so many years ago will be fulfilled. They will meet again in the living hell called Dachau.

The Site by Carlos ValrandThe Site provides a gaze into shadowy government entities and their relationships with enterprises with an otherworldly reach. When London schoolteacher Cicely Denfeld begins experiencing vivid and disturbing dreams, she has no idea that they could be foreshadowing a secret reality that has long been hidden from the public eye. In haunting dreams, Cicely lives out the experiences of strangers Charles Ryder and Vivian Venables, involved in recovering a secret document taken from an American government contractor. While Cicely, with the help of a psychiatrist, seeks to understand the bizarre dreams that plague her, Charles and Vivian follow a trail of hidden knowledge that could impact the entire world.

I'm Most Anxious for My Death
By: J. Carlton Sharp
In his autobiography, J. Carlton Sharp describes his life’s greatest triumphs and trials, sharing the benefit of his experiences with the reader. For the context surrounding his life’s journey, he describes his family’s ancestry; his upbringing by his loving and sometimes strict parents; and his formative childhood memories at the YMCA. Adulthood takes him on the wonderful journey of meeting his devoted wife of five decades, Louise, and raising a family together. Professionally, he learned much from his time in the Army as well as working of the National Security Agency, a position that led him to a special assignment leading the evidence analysis team during the Iran-Contra Investigation in President Ronald Reagan’s White House. Now 79 years old, Sharp looks back on these memories from a vantage point of failing health to offer his reflections on the meaning of life.
About the Author

The YMCA became the most important force in molding his life from the age of 7 to the age of 18. As an adult, he spent nearly 50 years working for the National Security Agency. He was privileged to travel to 76 countries to help their governments improve telecommunications systems. He also served President Ronald Reagan in 1987, conducting an investigation of the internal White House Personnel in the Iran-Contra Affair.

RADICAL OR NOT, HERE I COME: One Man's Search For Spiritual Affirmation And To Understand Radical Islam by E. Leroy NealI never set out to write a book. The book found me. Hearing a sermon based on Acts 9:1-19, the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus was very unsettling. This was radical. It caused me to question my own conversion and to wonder, what do we mean when we use the term, “radical”? It led me to formulate six questions I needed answers to relative to my own faith and to understand “Radical Islam” in comparison. I decided to write a book as a means to answer these questions.
The questions are:
-
What are the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity?
-
What are the similarities and differences between the Qur’an and the Bible?
-
Is Islam truly a religion of peace”? Is Christianity more militant and violent than commonly professed or admitted?
-
Was my quiet, almost unnoticed, conversion as powerful as Saul’s or other dramatic conversions?
-
Why was I so unprepared to rationally discus these comparisons with my counterpart, a sincere Muslim?
I used my personal life journey to accepting Christ as the vehicle to discuss these and other questions.

The New Age Bible by Erik CloudThe magical literature full of religious logic, metaphysical common sense, and supernatural wisdom has given way to a new astrological star chart reading
fashioned formidably from a keyed up individuals molded mind, body, and soul all the while exposed to everyday occurrences such as light and dark, positive
and negative, genetics and environment, ECT. The key used for utility coded in our modern day western zodiac, four basic elements, and three states confronts many
everyday problems such as health, money, love, and self-defense in an importable composition for all to use. Can modern day literature do what the literature from
our past has done? Th e overall Biblical character and feel consisting of many numbers combined with letters is very similar to our current Holy Scriptures and is here to
help with economic and weather conditions. Th is coupled with scientific prediction in cognition helping to understand the immediate present by reviewing our past
history by providing effective future caliber predictions on both micro and macro levels in our lifetimes through the areoles of time in universal form lending to Ages
similar to time travel. Could philosophical genius occult practices be construed and accepted as more than dogmatic science fiction and/or fantasy and on to fashioned
findings from omnipresent God and science itself? Why not let your qualities define you whatever they are? A higher state of conciseness would be the calling on to
uncharted places indeed! On to a more mentally focused atmosphere as opposed to the current physical realms is where the book takes us through its profound
knowledge providing for a real time utopia! Th e precision of 1 and 365 odds (even more when factored with the eastern zodiac) combined with the generality of 365 to
1 is very enticing existing in a perfect state laying somewhere in the zodiacs twelve star signs using an ark key for utility coded within the four elements and three states!
It makes us rethink all that we have learned in our educations rounding conspiracy theory by placing accepted God as more of a common factored force while not too
sexual, accidental, and humane!
Erik being introvert and extrovert lead to his prophetic vision which needs no license lying firmly in the realms of extra sensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, psychic, ECT. Genetics not environment is the direction to which he subscribes mostly. Limited public education, church experience, little to no traveling, and some martial arts training helped him in his progress to some extent. He has had a natural desire to understand the way things work on a chemical level. Autobiographical aspects of this epic poem provide the overall about the author as epic poem narrator.

Health, Wealth, Love, Beauty and Harmony by Karen Gravit
Do you desire better health, wealth, love, beauty, harmony than this world can give and achieve it in an empowered way that does not cause more problems and ill-health like the usual method? Shown how these five areas relate to five simple exercises in order to greatly strengthen instead of deprive each other and create youthful whole well-being, I sense that this will shorten the difficult times for those who are suffering and even boost satisfactory lives to higher attainment. Being completely receptive and sensitive to real inner help just like in my youth, I experienced an amazing comeback to youthful health in 6 months after many years of long suffering once I began the Five Tibetan Rites exercises as I am also experiencing an increase in the other areas as well. What is essentially needed for a productive, satisfying life and the best way to attain it without wasting precious time and energy is found through inner guidance as the body's energy centers are activated by the life energy flow of the exercises. Awakened to clear, thoughtful awareness that opens up potential rewards, this orderly method will make the steep, uphill climb more like a walk in the park.

Humility Comes Before Honor by Guy Morinville
Our Creator is a God of choice. Therefore, destruction is a choice. Honor is also a choice. A proud heart leads to destruction, but a humble heart brings honor. The absence of humility is pride which will bring certain consequences as a result of not humbling ourselves before God and men.
Because of a man's haughty heart, he fails to see and reason clearly. His excessive arrogance results in poor decision-making, whereas a man with a humble heart will seek counsel and exercise wisdom in his decision-making.
It was pride that brought Lucifer and a third of the angels to rebel and be cast out of heaven. Because of his pride, Lucifer will suffer eternal destruction.
Humility is the true spirit of Jesus Christ. Because of His humility, God exalted Him above all creatures.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. (1 Peter 5:6)
Guy Morinville is a born again Christian who is full of compassion and believes in spreading the word of God to unbelievers.
After the passing of Guy’s mother decades ago, he found himself alone, hopeless, and without a purpose. Then he found Jesus and surrendered his life to Him. Jesus became his helper, provider, and light in the darkness. He no longer felt alone nor forsaken.

Pills, Skills, and Will by Stephen Luce Jr.
My psychologist, Dr. J. Mark Pratt, says “What you do most is what you do best.” Certainly, full-time paid employment takes up most of my time, and I am so grateful for that. Coming in close second, however, is mental health treatment. Appointments with psychiatrists/psychologists, mental health support groups, obtaining required blood work from the lab, filling pharmacy prescriptions, going to church, reading literature, and praying/meditating. Also common is doing volunteer work, helping friends and family with tasks, and listening to them when they are troubled. These activities give me positive thoughts that I am contributing to society and help keep me away from the negativity that has been a hallmark of my mental illness.
Thus it has become a life that I truly believe is one worth living. In the early stages of recovery (the late 1990s) I did not share this view. But I survived those tumultuous days and have now entered into an expansive place where peace, even joy, is a common experience.
The psychiatric and psychological treatments that have made this possible cost my mom, Gwen, a lot of money. Although, I have been able to remove this burden from her more recently. It occurred to me that if I could write a book delineating the various aspects of my treatment program, I could share these helpful concepts with others, virtually for free. That is the spirit in which this book is published, and I hope you can utilize it for increased mental health and well-being!
Stephen Luce Jr. lives and works in Silicon Valley, California. He has been most fortunate to have been treated for mental illness by psychopharmacologist Dr. Reed Kaplan, and psychologist Dr. J. Mark Pratt for most of the past 25 years. Also, he benefitted greatly from La Selva, a residential mental health treatment program at which he lived for more than six months. He is thankful to his mom, for working so hard to pay for this top-notch treatment until his full-time employment was able to take this load off her strong shoulders in about the year 2012! Stephen has a law degree from Pepperdine University, but realized he was never going to be able to become a lawyer so thereafter went to De Anza Community College for A.A. paralegal degree. Unusual career path, yes, but it enabled Stephen to first get his foot in the door in the legal industry as a paralegal, and ultimately as a "knowledge manager" at a legal recruiting/headhunting firm where he has worked fulltime since 2006. Stephen very much enjoys having employment in the legal sector, and is most grateful for how his career has evolved to date. While he tries to plan and stay ahead and be strategic, he also sometimes feels like Paul Newman's character in Cool Hand Luke "I never planned anything in my life!

Short Stuff: Essays, Life’s Snippets, and Poetry by Carolyn Whiteside Panko
Short Stuff is a compilation of both narrative and poetic forms. I have always loved writing, but it took some jolts from my life journey to lead to more introspection and more freedom to hone these writings into some publishable form. From earliest childhood memories to momentous national events to painful and joyous relationships set in both prose and poetry, this book tells a story common to humans. It is part of my story of uncertainty, failure, joy, loss, redemption, love, and hope. I am fortunate to be able to view some of these snippets from a perspective stripped of the vanity of youth. I hope people reading this work will be inspired to tell their own stories.
Carolyn Whiteside Panko is a native of Houston, Texas. She was a piano and organ major at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. She holds a B.A. in Political Science from Boise State University.

Lord Jesus, Please Help Me Find My Happy by David Boudreaux
In this book “Lord Jesus, Please Help Me Find My Happy”, the author David Boudreaux points out the fact that many Christians today seem to have lost the joy of being a child of God. He brings to light the fact that the issues that cause this somewhat depressed disposition are darts from the devil. The Devil wants to rob you of your joy because if you are saved and display this type of attitude to the world you are an ineffective witness for God. You must be able to identify these attacks and use the tools that God has provided you with to overcome the Devil. Boudreaux identifies the darts, reveals the tools to defeat them and shows you how to use them to win the battle over Satan. The goal is to restore your happiness and help you be a shining light for God in this dark world.
David Boudreaux is a successful business owner in the aviation maintenance field and is a certified aircraft mechanic and inspector. He is also a private pilot with single and multi-engine ratings. He has earned a Bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Theology and is an ordained minister. His writing career began in the aviation industry with “Forty Years of Aviation Life” but he was then tasked by the Holy Spirit, as he states it, “To write for God”. Since then he has written three additional books. Boudreaux believes that despite all his training his most significant gift is the ability to understand Biblical doctrine and explain it in a way the average Christians can easily understand. Boudreaux is also a Vietnam era veteran and is currently pastoring a start-up church “Faith Bayou Fellowship” in Orange Texas.

He Is Coming by Louis A. Castillo Jr.The book of Angels in Bloom, the ministry of angelic beings is an in-depth study of God's supernatural beings in Scripture. It covers their biblical ministry from the beginning of Genesis to the end time of Revelation.
As Christians, it is extremely important to guard ourselves against satanic attacks. We must protect our spirits, souls and bodies and learn to be able to divide between God's angels from satanic ones.
Bible wisdom instructs us to learn how we can discern between supernatural beings from demonic principalities. This book prepares the reader to distinguish angels of light and from satanic forces. We need to learn about angels and demons because they are fighting against each other, and you and I are the prizes they are fighting for!
Most people do not realize that Satan was once an angel, but is now a fallen adversary. We examine what the Word of God teaches about the supernatural angels, how they operate, functioned and their roles and demonstrate how satanic spirits attempt to foil God's redemptive plan for humanity.
I make sense of the most dramatic and misunderstood book of the Bible. The Book of Revelation contain many of the roles that angelic being portrayed. Angels heed the voice of the Lord. They gather our prayers and tears and present them into His bowls and bottle as a remembrance of our pain and sufferings. He hears our cries and answers them according to our faith.
This book is a fascinating and inspirational guide, through the journey of the Word of God. The ministry of angels reveals that He loves us and continually administers to our needs. We are not to praise or worship angels, but God through His mercy and grace uses His ministers of fire to manifest His loves for us through His angels, but God's angels are His messengers and warriors sent to assist, protect and deliver us through the power of His grace by Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, Amen!!!
My purpose of writing these books, is about reaching out to people with a message from Christ. I believe my books will save, redeem, restore, renew and transform the reader lives. I believe in making an impact, in renewing and empowering people for the transformation of their lives, and ultimately preparing the saints for the work and service that God has for their lives. "For this purpose, I have raised you up, that I may show my power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth." Exodus 9:16

Groundwork: Farm Parables and the Cultivation of Faith by Rebecca CollisonHas your faith lost its flavor? Is your spiritual life dry? Does church seem more like what you do than who you are? Is your soul ready for the new planting God has in store for this season of your life?
Returning to the fields of her previous book, Preparing Fields for Seasons of Change, author Rebecca Collison takes the focus from small rural churches and shifts gears to individual faith development in the Apostle Paul’s call to be “God’s field.” Using Jesus’ agricultural-based parables as the seed, Groundwork offers a fresh perspective to working out our faith. By turning over the soil in our soul, vibrant spirituality and life-changing discipleship can emerge.
With a nod to the land from which humankind was created, engagement with the farming narratives offers an organic approach to letting our roots go deep into Christ. The parables are paired with current social issues, which act as pollinators necessary for the bearing of fruit for the kingdom of God. Each chapter concludes with an opportunity to go further into spiritual practices while engaging the parable-focused seeds for contemplation, study, and exploration, either individually or in small groups.
Rebecca Collison was a local newspaper reporter and a nationally certified special education teacher before answering the call to ministry. An ordained United Methodist elder known by many as “Pastor Becky,” she has served as lead pastor at churches in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. She is currently the senior pastor at Mariners Bethel United Methodist Church in Ocean View, Delaware. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education, and received both her Master of Divinity and doctorate of ministry from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington DC. When not at the church, Collison lives with her husband, Glenn, on the corner of the family farm in Harrington, Delaware. They have six children and seven grandchildren. This is her second book.

My Collection of Recipes from Across America and Germany by E. John BolesThis is not a professionally written cookbook, but is a representation of homegrown family cooking. Minus a few corporate inspired recipes and one professional carrot cake recipe, My Little Book of Kitchen Recipes is a collection of hand-me-down family recipes from one generation to the next.
The design of this book has been left plain, because in the author’s opinion, too many illustrations cause distractions in the kitchen. It is his hope that, by providing the space to enter a recipe or alter an existing one, more people will take up cooking again and continue to pass these and other recipes on to future generation.

The Boundary Waters: A Quantum Adventure by Gerry HuerthThe Boundary Waters chronicles the unfolding and sometimes comic relationship between Raymona Washington Goldberg, an African American woman adopted as an infant by Jewish parents during a Freedom Ride in the 1960's and Matthew Pierson a gay man who geographically lives in Minneapolis but psychically inhabits a world of romantic fantasies. She spends her time barricaded in her Upper East Side Apartment in New York City, afraid to be contaminated by the stories lurking in the most common circumstances. Matthew distracts himself with romantic stories in which he becomes entangled. Their phone conversations provide a hygienic boundary through which Raymona experiences the world and Matthew has an audience.
Their relationship takes a dramatic turn when Matthew entangles himself with three other gay men who are going to The Boundary Waters in Minnesota. One of the men is at the end stage of AIDS. Matthew is quite suddenly captured in an adventure in which wishful happy endings lose all meaning.
Not only does the boundary between Raymona and Matthew start shifting, but both characters begin exploring the carefully guarded boundaries in their own lives. Their stories interact in a kind of synchrony as they stumble through the comedy and heartbreak of the human condition.

To Flourish: God is the Light We are its Spectrum by Duane HaynesThis book will enlighten you about your self, love and your purpose in life. Learn the road to finding your true self and your spiritual path to your own light and understanding.
Learn for yourself the reason why and the meanings too.
Mr. Duane E. Haynes was born in Denver, Colorado to Jimmilee and Elmer Haynes II. Duane was born ten minutes after his twin brother, Darrell, one of five children. Duane's life changed when he took a life-threatening fall at the age of twelve. The accident left Duane in a coma for about three days. When Duane came to, he had changed. He remembers being in a place that he now knows in his heart as Heaven. To talk to him about it he says, "God showed me all of Heaven and Love. He then told me what I must do, and gave me a gift and said, 'Go back into the world and give them this gift, tell them so that they can learn the way home.'" Two months later Duane began to write, and what this young man was writing caught the attention of those who read it. What he wrote confounded even those closest to him. His insight and depth was to them beyond the comprehension at an age so young. To some, his poems are prophecy, to others, insight -- for him they are the sharing of his gift.
There was a dark period in his life where he was troubled by the world, and his writings during that time show his turmoil. Duane now writes from a new heart and perspective. His love for God and others is in the forefront of his ministry. In his poetry he tries to get people to look at themselves and others through the eyes of Christ hoping to make a change in their lives. The author has written award-winning articles, plays and, of course, poetry which has been published nationally. Among his writings is a book of poems entitled Think About It (and You) published in 1973.
Mr. Haynes' accomplishments include "Outstanding Man of the Century," "1000 Leaders of Influence," "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 20th Century," by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England and "Who's Who in the World, 2000," by Marquis, NJ. Duane has also been honored with his "Fellow" (FABI) and "Order of International Ambassador" (OIA) by the American Biographical Institute in North Carolina, USA, in the year 2000.

He reveals who each of the eight main characters really are as no one is whom she thought they were and ties up every loose end.
At this point, you should be left with only one question: How the heck did a woman ever write this novel in the first place?
Only Kiki has the answer to that question.

Simplifying Religion - Removing Barriers That Keep Us From God, Family, and Others by Ed Galisewski
Will Religion Survive? Should It?
It's no secret that younger generations are leaving organized religion in large numbers. Their exodus speaks loud and clear to the fact that there is a generational divide today that spans all faith groups.
Not many people have wanted to tackle this issue because of its difficult, often touchy subject matter, but that didn't stop author Ed Galisewski from jumping in with both feet. He reached out to those walking away and bluntly asked them why. And, thankfully, they bluntly answered him. Simplifying Religion covers six of the most divisive issues uncovered by these conversations that drive the conflict between Boomers and Millennials and fuel the exodus from religion.
Simplifying Religion is for all generations, from Boomers to Gen Zs. Ed hopes to bring the generations back together by finding common ground through honest dialogue and good will. Please be a part of the solution: Read this book, talk about it, and pass it on to those in your religious circle, especially those who are struggling to stay engaged in their current spiritual community, or those who are finding themselves increasingly alienated from a family member.
ED GALISEWSKI is a real life Joe Palooka-a big, good-natured guy. A men's ministry leader for twenty years, Ed has ministered to literally thousands of people. He's been in and out (and in again) of church, learning to overcome his own struggles with the institution while still loving the body of Christ. Ed and his wife Lynette have two children, son Braun and daughter Bryn, and live in Littleton, Colorado.

Beyond Knowledge: How Technology Is Driving an Age of Consciousness by William E. Halal
Beyond Knowledge Lies the Triumph of Human Spirit
The Knowledge Age of the past two decades is passing today as the digital revolution and artificial intelligence replace knowledge work. Halal’s study of social evolution explains how this marks the passage to a new frontier beyond knowledge that is poorly understood – an “Age of Consciousness” is here. But more pandemics, climate change, gross inequality, gridlock and other threats form a “Crisis of Maturity” that is blocking this historic transformation.
This book provides a wealth of evidence and leading examples of an emerging “global consciousness” now driving the world to grow up, resolve this global crisis and develop a sustainable world order – or perish. With foresight and hard work, we could see the triumph of human spirit, once again.

SELF-KNOWLEDGE AND SPIRITUAL YEARNING: The Role of Spirituality in Psychological Health by E. Douglass Brown, Ph D.
The relationship between personality development, psychospiritual well-being, and Godconsciousness has always been of deep value to the faithful among humanity. Despite pervasive assaults of materialism, secularism, and atheism, the inherent human yearning for spiritual realization has not abated. The idea that spirituality has no place in mental health and personality development is baseless. There is ample experiential, scriptural, and scientific evidence that human beings are hardwired for a spiritual quest
Dr Brown grew up in St. Louis, Mo. He earned a BS in Psychology and Philosophy from St. Louis University, MA in Social Psychology from the University of Iowa, and a PhD in ClinicalPersonality Psychology from St. Louis University. A former Associate Professor of Psychology and a licensed psychologist, Dr Brown has worked with a variety of populations from different ethnic-cultural backgrounds and countries.

Pacific Paradise by Kurt Carlson
Pacific Paradise is the tale of two coming-of-age stories, one of a small island-nation, and the second of a young girl, the daughter of the nation’s president.
While citizens of Sumonajob battle between isolationism and an open country welcoming tourism, Mimi must decide which side to choose as her relationship with American businessman Jason Richards grows from hatred and misunderstanding to friendship and alliance.
Among the subplots of the story include the European colonization of the island, the separation of political factions on the future of Sumonajob, and the various characters who show up throughout the story.
Whether it’s the weeklong crab races, the deadly trip down to Shanty Town, the abduction of Richards’s secretary on their second day on the island, or the comings and goings of Luana and Jeanie, the story twists unexpectedly at every point.
Kurt Carlson was born and raised on Long Island, New York. He spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, having spent approximately 14 of those years in the Pacific Theater of Operations.
Carlson was stationed in the Philippines, Thailand and Okinawa, Japan. It was while on Okinawa that the idea for this story began to develop. The island-nation of Sumonajob is a compilation of all these countries where Carlson was stationed. Some of the events were loosely based on world events which happened during the time frame that Carlson was there.
After retiring from the military, Carlson settled in Winter Haven, Florida. He has a son living in Massachusetts, one step son and one step daughter, both in North Carolina, and a fiancee, Jo Anne, making her own adventures in the Middle East.

Metamorphosis of a Young Maiden by Dr. Wm. Patric LeedomFrom December 1969 until June 1970, Dr. Wm. Patric Leedom's love interest, Shelley, allowed herself to go through major changes-from a naïve, shy recluse who never considered sex in relation to herself, to a more sophisticated young woman trusting another for the first time, feeling completed and totally loved for the first time. Metamorphosis of a Young Maiden is a collection of love letters between the two from 47 years ago. It is a powerful example of two lovers going deep into life and making themselves vulnerable to each other as they build toward an intense relationship. We should all remember to take risks with our partners and be encouraged to seek the deeper meanings and experiences that life can offer.
Dr. Wm. Patric Leedom inculcated his father's values, following in his footsteps and going out into the community to lift up and help others. To this end, he was part of teams to first found a private Montessori school and then help found a public Montessori school. From 1983-'85 he reactivated himself in the submarine Navy, where part of his responsibilities was to care for and protect the sailors who worked for him. Dr. Leedom entered a doctorial program in 1985 in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, where again many of his duties and responsibilities included caring for and protecting the students under his care. He also took on the responsibility of creating the first Academic Advising Center for the entire College of Education. He currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio

UNREQUITED by Carol Urena
As a continuation of Love You True; these are an additional 75 short poems without titles. More expressions incurred by the feeling of true love. A feeling that is all inspiring; all-consuming. So much so that one can be overwhelmed by it. By such a strong and pure emotion; an emotion so strong one can even wonder how it is even possible to contain. An emotion that goes beyond the heart. When one experiences true love, one realizes that it also goes beyond the mind, beyond the body, beyond the soul. One can feel it without a single touch. And be entirely content with it. Without having the beloved at one's side. Content even if the love is unrequited. Not being necessary to experience love wholly or entirely. Not necessary to feel the happiness brought on simply by the sensations that true love can give rise to.
From Romeo and Juliet, to Shakespeare’s sonnets, to the King James Version of the bible; the romanticism of words and verses have always been an influence. But not until touched by true love which is different than love in all its other forms was it possible to put down into words the feelings it gives rise to. While always enjoying English literature and their classics, a favorite has always been creative writing. While not always the best at writing in its technical form, have always had the skill for putting words together without the constraints of grammatical rules. Always enjoying it poetry is very different; special if you like; touching us in another form than a novel or biography. The purpose of this book is for the reader to be in tune with their heart and the most wonderful feeling that ever existed; true love.

Lilly’s Day Coping with Autism
Author: Bethany Stoots
With her personal experiences of living every day with Autism, author Bethany Stoots hopes to help fellow Autistic individuals and those caring for these Autistic people by sharing this new picture book. With illustrations by Sydney Truesdail, “Lilly’s Day Coping with Autism” follows the story of a little girl who has Autism and she copes with her day-to-day activities.
The author invites everyone to understand the challenges that a little girl has to face daily while she copes with her disability. Lilly has sensory overload disorder. She cannot be around loud noises, flashing lights, crowds, or stressful situations. This causes her daily life to look slightly different than most. And this picture book allows readers to see how a day in Lilly’s life looks.
This book is a great aid for parents, guardians and teachers who live with or care for individuals with Autism. This is also a good read for Autistic people to show them that they are not alone and that it’s possible to do anything.
Hello, my name is Bethany Stoots, I am passionate about playing the flute, volunteering in my community, and being part of Girl Scouts. However, people thought I would never be able to accomplish any of these activities because of having a disability. I was diagnosed with Autism when I was a year and a half old. Growing up this has brought on many hardships such as not always feeling understood and being bullied by my peers. My goal by writing this book is to make Autism easier for the younger generation to understand. And for Autistic people to know that they are not alone with what they are going through and that they can accomplish anything.

Also you will understand southern law in action causing absolute fear to the bones.

Pay close attention, you'll enjoy this fast trip you are about to take. From Pine Bluff to serving on one of the most fierce police agencies in America, LAPD SWAT.
A spellbinding, deeply emotional account of my plight to overcome disappointment and accomplish that particular success sought after.
Ed Louis Cook was born July 1942 in Pine Bluff Arkansas. He is the second of eight children born to Essie & Charley Cook. He had a fascination with law enforcement long before entering public school. It is believed this interest in law enforcement was caused by a very large picture of his great uncle Dennis Wilson who was a Chicago Policeman. Ed attended a segregated public school. During his school years he became interested in music and became very good with the woodwind instruments, especially the clarinet. Upon graduation from Merrill High School, he received a four year music scholarship to attend A. M. & N. College. Ed attended for one year only, due to marriage at age of eighteen. Getting married at an early age and moving to Chicago was the start of an entirely new way of life. Four years later was the move to Los Angeles and that is the real true beginning of the great story you are about to receive. While living in Los Angeles and attending Los Angeles City College and California State University at Los Angeles, He entered the field of Law enforcement and subsequently became the first black officer to work LAPD SWAT.

My Backyard Is Murder by John R. ScannellFrank and Isabel lived on their one-acre "little piece of heaven" for years, in the company of their three dogs, three cats, and abundant wildlife. Life, beneath the sheltering arms of dozens of 100-foot-tall trees-cedar, spruce, fir, and hemlock-changes when the forest south of their home is razed, and the developer deliberately severs the holding roots of five of Frank and Isabel's trees. Those five trees fall in a windstorm, crushing their shed, shattering the roof of their home, and killing their beloved Flat-Coated Retriever, Aria. Their "little piece of heaven" becomes hell. Turning to the authorities for help, Frank and Isabel hope against hope that the developer, or the law, or the agencies of justice will make some effort to make them whole-if that is even possible. It's a vain hope. Ultimately, they lose faith that the law and the agencies of justice are willing or able to act morally and ethically. This is the story about what happened next-about a very different and unexpected path to justice than either Frank or Isabel would have preferred. It's a story told alternately by Frank, Isabel's husband, and Detective Jimmy Brautigan, the man attempting to solve three seemingly related murders-murders that wouldn't have happened if the developer, or the city planner, or the law hadn't been entirely indifferent to Frank and Isabel's tragedy. As Frank tells the reader, "We didn't take the law into our own hands. No, we took justice into our own hands." This is a story about justice restored.
The author has had three careers—all built around his love of the English language: first as a high school English teacher, then as a national language arts textbook consultant with a major publisher, and now as an author. His goal is simple: He hopes to write books in every genre: nonfiction, fiction, drama, and poetry—books that people will enjoy.
After more than a decade teaching Writing, Literature, Grammar, Speech, Debate, Drama, Theatre, and Acting—and directing plays and performing in local theatre productions—the author stepped into the role of national sales consultant for a major publishing company. That second career formed the basis of his first book, "Road Warrior A to Z"—detailing the career that took him to all fifty states and six foreign countries, helped him tack on 4.7 million air miles, drive 1.2 million miles behind the wheel, and spend more than 4,000 nights in hotels, motels, and B&Bs.
Once off the road, his wonderful wife inspired his writing career. "You've got stories to tell, Scannell Man. You better start telling them." The author has taken those words to heart. He and his wife lead happy, fulfilling lives with their dogs and cats in the Pacific Northwest.

Real Prison Real Freedom by Rosser McDonald
Award-Winning Reporter
Chronicling Transformation of Notorious Texas Inmate and Entire Texas Prison System'Real Prison Real Freedom' by Rosser McDonald Shares the Heartbreaking Life Story and Inspiring Change of Rickie Smith During Time of Major Upheaval with Department of Corrections Itself.
Prisons, an integral part of society, generally are not familiar to most people. Length of sentence and treatment by others in the prisons vary widely. The immediate "Man-in-charge" of each prison unit is the warden, who has some flexibility within TDCJ guidelines. Warden Dr. Keith Price gained a reputation for turning around some chaotic prison units. He knows from experience that at best, prisons are very difficult places for people, whether they are behind the bars or in front of them.
"People that wind up in prison, inmates, generally are society's rejects," Price said. "They've been unable to do the things other people do to make life a success, whether it's because of an abusive parent, addiction to some substance, stupidity, being unable to read or write, they've been failures and have chosen alternate means, that is crime."
Price also knows officers have a challenging life, "The correctional officer, has to deal with people so maladjusted that society says they can't live amongst them anymore. It's conflict day after day, hour after hour and it really takes a toll, from broken marriages to financial problems to substance abuse. It's continual."
The Texas Prison System was named "one of the best" in the country by a leading penology expert. However, shortly after that, a Federal Judge took control of the entire Texas Department of Corrections for "unconstitutional treatment" of inmates. TDC denied and resisted many of the reforms the judge ordered. The result was chaos. Too few guards, rampant gangs, gang wars and overcrowding were the norm for several years. The court kept control 20 years and finally the prison system adapted to the new (and constitutional) ways of operating. At the same time Texas prison population doubled, and more than doubled, again.
During that time, 19-year-old Rickie Smith began a 10-year sentence in TDC on a drug charge. He joined the gang wars, in the Aryan Brotherhood and then made his own personal war with prison officers. He could have been released in a few short years, but, in 3 separate trials juries added 3 ninety-nine-year sentences for him to serve. Trial transcripts have many references in testimonies to how dangerous Rickie Smith is--even calling him "the most violent inmate" in TDC.
REAL PRISON / REAL FREEDOM is a biography of Rickie Smith and how his life intersects with the woes of the prison system and with Warden Keith Price.
Naturally, he wanted out, knowing that realistically it will never happen. Officials told him he'll never get out. Then came the impossible that shocked everyone, especially Rickie.

Miracle of the Northern Lıghts
By: Philip H Duda
Jim knows his son Mark is sick and dying, and it is clear the doctors can do nothing to help him. When Jim hears a story of a hidden valley, way up north, where people say a miracle happened long ago, he wonders if this place could bring Mark a miracle too. But what draws Jim and many others to the valley is much more than a legend. An unknown force has brought them there for a reason.
This inspiring story is about three sick children in need of a miracle, and the lengths to which loved ones will go to help them. It is a reminder that hope, faith, and prayer have power no matter who you are, from the poorest to the richest.

I wrote this book, and it allowed me to move on with my life, something I am sure she would have wanted. Actually, this is the book I wish I had had at the time, and hopefully it will help others who are facing the same things.

THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP by Robert Topolse
The race for the championship is a love story built around hard-core motorcycle racing, from the flat tracks of the Springfield mile and the short tracks of Ascot, to the TT’s of Peoria and the paved tracks of Daytona. Dan has run off with his girlfriend Bonny to become a professional motorcycle racer. After a poor start by breaking his leg and having to work as a mechanic, he and his girlfriend Bonny, feel that they are ready to take on the challenge for the AMA championship. Being the protégé of 3-time national champion Clyde Bergermann, Dan has been put on the Harley Davidson racing team. The racing is intense and Dan has to fight for every point. Clyde is not willing to give up his 4th championship challenge, and the other racers are just as persistent. Being a rookie, Dan is perceived as a loud mouthed, hot aired upstart with an over inflated opinion of himself, and Bonny finds out that there is a hierarchy among the woman in the Harley Davidson team. Being much younger, she is perceived as an immature child who is just tagging along, and doesn’t know what she is talking about. She tries to fit in, but is treated as if she doesn’t exist. Dan’s Achilles Heel is road racing, and at the Daytona 200, he becomes the laughing stock of the Harley team. But it is also at Daytona, where Dan begins to display his never give up character. Bonny’s love for Dan and her faith in God will become an inspiration for all. When Bonny ran off with Dan, she never thought about marriage or children. But as the season progresses, She begins to realize that maybe there is more waiting for her in the future.

Disaster at Bushehr by Reginald NelsonWe had just reached altitude on this third flight when an explosion rocked the cockpit. It came from behind me and blew the headphones right off of my head. I ducked down into my seat in an attempt to avoid the blast. Next thing I knew I felt a razor sharp blade at my throat.
The ringing in my ears was immense. I felt like a freight train was passing right through my skull. I was badly disoriented as I remained crouched over the yoke in front of me. "Move and you're dead!" was all that I heard, and I remained still.
I noticed out of my left peripheral vision that the pilot was being manhandled and removed from the pilot's seat. My head was pounding as my senses began to return. The first thing that I saw was that the glass panel in front of me was in a shambles...
.Ash turned to me and saw the blood staining the front of my shirt. He pulled off his shirt and placed it on my neck.
"You okay, Reggie?" he asked.
"No," I croaked.

COMING SOON ON AMAZON "THE VISION" BY R. VANDERHOOFVEN
The Knight of Hibernia by J. Scot WittyArriving on a distant shore, guided only by a mysterious book he found of a dead man, Dar LaCross journeys to join the famed Knights of Hibernia. But he soon finds that things are not how he expects as he clings to a knightly code of honor obsolete in the world he encounters. A young woman, Fayette, on a mission for the Duchess of the Eamhain, finds herself in midst of an invasion. Fayette convinces Dar to help her cross the wilds of the Marche to reach Eamhain before it is too late. Hunted by the invaders, Dar and Fayette must use their wit and skill to cross the wilderness of an untamed world. As they learn to work together, bandits, witches, invaders, and the creatures of the deep forest stand between them and the castle at Eamhain many miles away. Searching for a way through the wilderness, Dar and Fayette discover the means to reach their goal in each other. As they race against time, they must reach the Duchess and warn her before the next attack.
An adventurous soul having hiked across the United States in his early life, J. Scot Witty became rooted in ideas rather than places. With a fascination for words, storytelling became second nature at a young age. Using his rampant imagination, he has created new worlds in his writing with a strong focus and preoccupation on character building. Currently living in Ithaca NY, when not writing, Witty enjoys time with his partner and children, and playing fantasy role-playing games with the local children at the elementary schools. During his thirty-five year tenure as a small business owner and manager, Witty has developed a strong passion for storytelling and became a game master. Witty's actual life experiences, journeys, and adventures fuel an unwavering creative story and it is from here that the writing launches. Out of his love of world history and study for many years, he became a teacher and is now a member of the Writers Guild of America. Witty views history through the lens of myth, legend, and wonder. It is with this magic that he enjoys expressing the ideal that anything in life is possible. The struggle to answer the mystery of man's own potential and how it can easily go awry drives his writing. With his stories dealing mostly with the relationships of the characters and how they relate to each other, Witty hopes to effectively show how unity can still be achieved in diversity. As much as Americans in the U.S. would like to think that we are a melting pot of cultures, we have become quite galvanized in the question of us vs them instead.

Friendship City: Hanging by a Thread by Carl H. MitchellIt is 2058. NYPD detective Nick Garvey and Lenora Allison, President of the battered and reeling United States, are battling the many remaining remnants of the murderous World Council. They must confront the forced introduction of a man-made killer plague and the destruction of the newly created Friendship City.
President Allison succeeded in her fight to destroy the first plague only to learn a second more deadly one was imminent.
Ishmael, the mysterious new leader of the World Council, has decided to destroy Friendship City, an autonomous joining of Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico, where the citizens are developing their own protective Bill of Rights.
President Allison asks Nick to fly from Houston, where his daughter is recovering from a coma, to the White House to help in the fight.
Can the second plague be destroyed? Why is Friendship City spiraling into chaos? Can Ishmael be destroyed?
Nick wrestles to find Ishmael, but Ishmael finds him first. Capturing Nick, President Allison, Nick's family, and all others in his way, he forces them to sit in a circle, surrounded by rifles.
Ishmael starts his countdown.
Carl H. Mitchell developed a penchant for writing at a young age. His first serious read, at about nine years of age, was Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Isaac Asimov's "The End of Eternity" and Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" completed the capture.
Born in California, raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and in Lake Worth, Florida, he earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey. He worked at IBM for 35 years as an engineer, programmer, and manager.
Carl lives with his wife, Maryann, in Hillsborough, New Jersey, with winters spent in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Along with downhill skiing, he counts among his hobbies the keeping of koi, of which he currently owns more than a hundred. Auditing a year's worth of bills for fish food and pond maintenance has led to the more accurate conclusion that the koi own him.
Carl has written several short stories. "Sundown: Engineering Gives the Devil a Sunburn," published by Covenant Books, is his first novel, a near-future police procedural with thriller, mystery, espionage, and dystopian aspects. There are also Science Fiction touches. He writes to entertain and challenge his readers.

The Adventures of a Leolian Elf is a simple tale of a faithful elf who is imprisoned for his ugliness. In a time long ago a young urchin boy named Coal, creates a musical instrument that charms the creatures of the wood including 2 Leolian elves, Shreebee and Rodo. A pact is made between the boy and the elves. The elves will serve Coal until the end of his days if they are allowed to play the magical instrument. Coal agrees and the elves create a magnificent castle for all to live in. Dondobee is born soon after. He quickly learns to play the instrument. It is magical in his hands. He plays at every full moon. As he plays, tiny beings of light go about doing Williamsgate Castle chores. They clean and stock the castle with supplies to keep for a month or until the next full moon. Coal meets and marries Queen Maudrina. They all live happily ever after. One day Coal doesn't wake up. Shreebee and Rodo ceremonially send him up the chimney in a puff of smoke. With their pact with Coal finished, they too decide to go up the chimney. However, Dondobee chooses to stay behind to care for the aging Queen Maudrina. Then one day, the Queen asks Dondobee to grant her one final wish. The Queen has left the castle to her nephew Prince Paul and his princess Panella, of Bethgate Castle. Dondobee agrees to stay and maintain it for them, on the condition that they can solve a riddle. The royal couple is informed of their inheritance. They successfully solve the riddle with the help of the sensemaker and they take residence in Williamsgate Castle. They live long and happily in the magical castle until one bright full moon night, the sleep walking Panella sees an ugly creature roaming the castle. She convinces Prince Paul to capture it. The prince devises a clever trap, and Dondobee is captured and thrown into the dungeon. Soon the castle is no longer warm and full of bright light and happiness. No chores are being done. It grows cold and dark. The confused couple can't understand what is wrong. They go to bed and fall asleep for 14- and one-half years. They do live happily ever after. For how they manage to do that, you will have to read the story of DONDOBEE and go along with him on his adventures.

THE STRENGTH OF THE NATION by Luisa Mirella Plancher
The Strength of the Nation is an excerpt from another manuscript, The Angel of the Lord, which will be published soon. Therefore, how do we make our nation great and strong?
We do this by entering the same mindset of the prophets of old because the brilliance of discovery and the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are not our own but of the spiritual power above.
Yes, indeed! We need to make America great and strong not only for our own sake but also for the sake of all the nations on Earth. And we need to see ourselves as the beacon of hope for humanity as the founders of this great nation did.
From the events of September 11, 2001, we have learned that our international problems cannot be solved exclusively by diplomacy or military interventions. Instead, the major solutions are to be found in the Religious arena.
Then we discover that, by closing our Mexican border with a great wall, we offer a safe environment for the Jewish and Arab populations to go back to their root, Abraham, and reconcile after thousands of years of conflict and strife. And the Jewish people in Israel will take it from here, for they will repent for having killed their King, Jesus Yeshua, and prepare for the Second Coming while assembling the Kingdom of the Lord.
Luisa Mirella Plancher is an Italian School Teacher who married an American Citizen and moved to the USA. Here she earned a Political Science Degree and pursued a career in Social Work. She started writing in 1980. And, when President Trump appeared on the Political scene, she decided to expand a concept she was working on: To make America great again, and keep it become even greater.

Lord Santa's Review by Sarah MirzaAsh is a Light Warrior who reports to Santa's grotto after a three-year absence to undertake her review. Expecting to be in disgrace, instead she finds herself totally unprepared for the reception. Her review brings surprises and Ash learns about her own levels of power and connection higher than she had ever understood. Perhaps she is much, much more than the maverick she is considered to be? She must learn to stand with her powers. When Santa enters the Collective Stream of Consciousness and delivers his gifts, he learns that it is indeed time for people to move to the next level. Ash's new team is barely assembled before a breach in the Earth's energy grid makes it necessary for them to act immediately. Will Ash prove to be all that the Light Warrior Order believes her to be? And if she is, where will it take her?
Sarah Mirza lives in Yorkshire, England, where she was born. After travelling and living abroad she returned to her roots in Sheffield. Having experienced an intense awakening in the 1990’s she has studied, experienced, practiced and read much about spiritual and religious philosophies ancient and modern. But it is always human behaviour and the actions of heart and mind that fascinate her. Her own journey is continuous as she tries to understand how humans tick. Whether this is politics, spiritual practice, attitudes to the Earth, environment or the higher levels of connection and communication. Love and Light to all.

THIS I SWEAR IS TRUE by Marilyn MooreI invite you to read this book once, then again, and again. You will have a hard time believing—yes—that it is all true. Any fatal illness is so hard to believe, especially the one with the C word. This is very scary for anyone. You want something done right now, and you become a terrible wreck. We do think of things like “This is not happening” or “How can this be?” Of course, it is hard to handle. Reading this book will really change you. I am not anyone special, but I truly believe you will learn how to change anything with the power of God within. So after reading, please share, share, share. For now, I will close this with the following statement: We can change our lives for the better. Get to know your body, and get to know God. Please believe what I have written, because this, I swear, is true.
BORN May 8, 19 old, and she can probably be your grandmother. She is not a" CEO" of any company, nor a" Movie Star," a" Model," or a" Singer" like all These wonderful singers out today. She feels that she is just an " ORDINARY JOE". Just wanted to share a session of her life that over the years, now being a senior, we should take a step back a take a look at our lives starting from childhood, how many wonderful, mystical things come into our life that we just pass it by and claim it is our imagination. My children are my best friends and have encouraged me to write this, so that it will help many people. You will truly understand when you have read "THIS I SWEAR IS TRUE", because it is.

Unbreakable Hearts II: A True Heart-Wrenching Story About Victory... Forfeited! by Earl "Dusty" TrimmerEarl "Dusty" Trimmer relates with both skill and personal experience events surrounding our most forgetable and misunderstood war in America's history. He brings it all home with his down-to-earth style and considerable knowledge. In Unbreakable Hearts, Dusty dives into the Vietnamese history and culture and skillfully brings the reader into understanding our Vietnamese enemy's amazing resolve. He brilliantly explains the evolution of our Vietnamese enemy over hundreds of years of invasions and wars. Always defending their country to remain free became an art. In Chapter 7, Dusty describes the Vietnamese women fighters as "Hellcats." My own experience with the formidable Vietnamese Viet Cong women's skills and expertise closely mirrors Dusty's. Hooch girls could plant booby traps in a GI's hooch with a skill and savvy they were forced to learn during decades of on-the-job training in continuous wars with unwelcomed invaders.
My own Military Police experience after leaving the infantry revealed these incidents vividly. In later chapters, Dusty moves into our own veterans' profound resolve and toughness. North Vietnam's famed General Giap called us "an honorable enemy." One could suggest from this writing that our enemy taught us well. We did things in the Vietnam War the average person would have to go to the movies to believe. After reading Trimmer's descriptions, I must conclude that indeed this book could be one for the movie industry.
Dusty Trimmer brings to life our days and nights living and fighting in these foreboding jungle warfare conditions. After reading this fine work and reflecting on my own experiences, I cut away a little more of the pain. Pride swells for having served with all of these wonderful veterans of the Vietnam War. Pain for our terrible losses. For myself, these experiences culminated in wisdom I would otherwise have failed to achieve. God bless Dusty for telling our story. Forward march, Brothers!
Earl Dusty Trimmer was a combat infantry soldier in the Vietnam War from 1968-1969. He considers himself still a soldier. As a combat infantryman, often he walked at the head of the combat mission as the point man during the bloodiest year of the Vietnam War, 1968. Since his return from Vietnam in 1969, he has faced near-death run-ins almost as often as he faced them in Southeast Asia. After suffering a 2006 collapse in a Cleveland VA, he filed a claim for PTSD. His quality of life has continued with detours and DENIALS. So, he wrote books about it all, the most recent one... Unbreakable Hearts!

A Guardian Angel
By: David Edsall
Having no doubt that he was assisted in life by angels, A Guardian Angel is a fictionalized account of the author's life. The events are true and basically a "rags to riches" story, due entirely to the fact that the main character allowed God to lead him throughout his entire life.
God has a plan for everyone, a plan designed even before we are born. We only need to accept his plan of salvation and work at following his lead for our lives. This book is unique in that it has fictionalized a person's life and humanizes the workings of angels as God's helpers in interacting with humans toward his plans for them. The author hopes this book will encourage those who do not know God to seek his free gift of salvation and follow his lead for the rest of their lives.
About the Author
David Edsall was born October 1939. In his younger days, he enjoyed flying airplanes, boating, snow skiing, scuba diving and working at his various businesses. Edsall received his pilot's license in 1965. In 1983, he built a second residence along the Cumberland River, 275 miles from his home in Indianapolis. From there he took many river-trip adventures by boats he owned. His first attempt at retiring was in 1995 at the age of fifty-five. He and his wife bought a 50-foot motor yacht in Detroit, Michigan. Departing in early spring, they travelled through the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal, through Canada on the St. Lawrence Seaway, back down into the US, down the length of Lake Michigan and through the city of Chicago, continuing down the Mississippi River to New Orleans and then across the Gulf of Mexico to end up in their new boat retirement home in Fort Myers, Florida. They arrived in late November of that year. Boredom caught up with Edsall in 1998, and he started a family business with his son, Steven. He is still active in that business at the age of eighty-one.

The Warehouse by Joyce CrawfordIn the days after God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden, His fairies, Faith, Hope, Serenity, Passion, and little Curiosity, were concerned about Him being sad and lonely. Upon meeting The Creator in the Garden's morning mist, the fairies asked if they could find Him new friends. God chuckled at the fairies' concern and offered an alternative. "Would you like to find people to build a storehouse in which I can keep all of My unclaimed gifts and blessings?" In the early days of the nineteenth century in Florida's wilderness, Leo and Susan Bates set out to make a new home for themselves.

The Unyielding Passion for Life of Lee Raymond Blanchette, a Remarkable Man by Kathleen Ingfried HaskinsLee Raymond Blanchette had ambitions to be the first above-the-knee amputee to kayak the Mississippi River from its headwaters in Minnesota to its destination in New Orleans. Other things on his Bucket List were to swim with the dolphin, Winter, who has a prosthetic tail, and to work in the Antarctic in honor of Shackleton, Perry and North.
Lee was a talented carpenter and artist, and loved to be outdoors in the winter, shoveling snow for friends and neighbors. He was a volunteer Emergency Medical Service responder (EMS), and took the job very seriously, going out every night to help people, especially those who had over-dosed on drugs. He struggled with residual limb pain and stump deterioration because he would work so hard several days running, and then have to rest up another three. He self-medicated with alcohol to dull the pain, but eventually put himself into a sober house and started a regimen of pain medications.
Lee made friends wherever he went. Even store clerks and his doctors became fast friends with him. Lee's primary doctor would always set aside about an hour, just to shoot the bull with Lee after treatment. A saying Lee had was: "I may not be able to change the world, but I sure am gonna leave one heck of a dent in it!"
Kathleen was in close contact with Lee for almost 20 years, becoming well acquainted with his idiosyncrasies. Despite their differences, she loved him as a friend, and helped him through rough times. They both grew up camping, hiking in mountains, canoeing rivers, and loving nature. She feels blessed to have known him.

When God Acts by Jack ReamThe book is about how God established a homeless shelter using the efforts of members of eleven churches working together, including all the miracles that were performed in accomplishing the project. It tells about the lessons the author learned in working with the homeless. Then it describes how that same group of churches talked all the others food pantries in the community into closing to open one large pantry (I am told that in 2018, this was the largest individual food pantry in the US). The author discusses the problems that those who live in poverty have and what it will take to eliminate poverty in the US.

Words of Wisdom Book 1-5: Those with wisdom will shine as the brightness of the sky by Roy MartinThere are five mini books titled WORDS OF WISDOM. Each book is numbered on the front and spine. These books are not written like a novel. They contain a collection of short
"sayings" concerning wisdom. The "sayings" are from several sources, including the Bible. The books are small enough to be carried in a pocket or purse, to be read while traveling or waiting at the doctor's office. The five books contain over 4,000 "sayings" concerning wisdom.
Roy Martin is a college graduate, but did not write any books until after he retired from employment. The books did not start out as books. The author kept a list of short "sayings" that came into his mind concerning wisdom. After he typed them up, he emailed them to about 50 people in his email address book. The thoughts concerning wisdom kept coming, so the author continued to type them and forward them to those in his address book. One of those receiving them replied suggesting that the "sayings" should be put in a book. When the author had collected about 800 "sayings", he contacted a publisher. The publisher suggested a 5x7 mini book.

THE DARK TAAL: BOOK ONE OF THE FOUNDATION STONE SERIES by Dean G. E. Matthews
Aymara, a land reeling from centuries of war, now experiences an uneasy peace. In order to bring balance to this war-torn world, the gods create the Chimera and the Firebrand stones, one is good the other evil; these came to be known as the Foundation Stones.
Realizing that these talismans are in fact the catalyst for centuries of war, the gods of light task a young champion, Aridain Bruin to destroy them.
But the dark God Fornax, grown strong from centuries of war is not easily fooled, and despatches a sinister champion, the Dark Taal, to find and preserve these stones and once more bring darkness and chaos to the realm of Aymara.
Meanwhile in the shadows, a dark wizard called Kuelack, having schemed for years, plans to find the Foundation Stones and tied to their power rule over all of Aymara.

Racism, Sexism, Trumpism, Pseudo-Christianity and the CinemaLionel Barry Harris
Well prior to the 2016 presidential election and many, many years before Spike Lee tackled the subject matter on film, I was virtually obsessed with "Doing the right thing," both morally and spiritually. In addition, I've been on a lifelong quest to be a tangible blessing and inspiration to everyone I interact with, and especially children - whom I was blessed to work with and around for a period of forty (40) years. I truly believe that outward and inner joy is achieved by making others happy and bringing the very best out in them. In essence, I feel we are flesh and blood blessings to one another and not sources of sorrow, pain and turmoil. I have spent an entire lifetime practicing and endorsing the aforementioned principles and I am acutely mindful that there are individuals who fully disdain them. Unfortunately, Donald Trump, our sitting president, is such a person. Therefore, I am diametrically opposed to him and I am compelled to speak out against him.
Lionel Harris is a native of St. Louis, Mo. After serving 3 years in the U.S. Army, he engaged in a whole gamut of interesting jobs. After managing a large janitorial service, he was employed by the federal government, the St. Louis Police Dept., the Potter Electric Co. and, most enduring of them all (34 years), the St. Louis Public Schools at the high school level. In addition to being married for 28 years and raising three children, he also worked part-time in the GED program and, later on, drove a school bus for the Ferguson-Florissant School District.

Seeking God's Righteousness by Diane M. Neumann
Are there times when a familiar passage in the Bible springs out and for the first time, you ask God, "now what does that mean"? You have read it or prayed it for a long time, but suddenly you question it. Jesus stated we were to first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The little word "and" indicates there is more and also something different between the two. Much study is devoted to understanding the Kingdom of God. How is His Righteousness different that the Kingdom of God? When we Christians accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and believe he died for us, we accept the righteousness of Jesus for our sins. It is the great exchange. What is Jesus directing his disciples to do then?
This book begins by describing what the Kingdom of God is and summarizes the need for it within our fallen world. The triune nature of humanity, spirit, soul and flesh bodies are defined. When Adam and Eve rebelled, there was a separation of the spirit body from access to the other two bodies. When we seek the Kingdom of God, we follow a God ordained path to reunite the spirit as it is reborn within the individual.
A child is born into a broken world. Choices and events within their lives form an ego that does not have the advantage of a reborn spirit connected to the other two bodies. Practical examples for how this happens and how it is overcome by the grace of God are described. God intervenes in individual lives. His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ is available. As one accepts Jesus as Lord, and the Holy Spirit activates the individual spirit within the person, a new birth occurs. Now the person can seek the Kingdom of God. These ideas are explained with scriptures to support them. A process of sanctification is ignited within the spirit of the person.
Paul describes this process of sanctification in many of his letters. Paul also states that many believers are stuck at the milk level of understanding and have not moved into the level of discerning righteousness or seeking the meat of the Gospel. The rest of the book illustrates with scripture and examples how one moves to the meat level understanding. This is seeking the righteousness of God.Diane is a retired educator, having worked in grades 1-14. She served as a teacher, counselor, administrator and staff developer. Diane is a certified minister under the authority of Church Growth International of the Americas. In ministry she served 16 years as a spiritual mentor working with men and women seeking a Christian solution to addictions. For the last two years, the Holy Spirit has been leading her to write and complete books to help people who are seeking a closer walk with God.

THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD: ORAL TRADITION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MESSAGES IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS by Vincent Krivda
The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew and Christian Bible. Torah means to teach. What does the Torah teach? How does the Torah teach? Scholars agree the Bible evolved from an oral tradition to its written form. This book examines the messages of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, based on what those messages would have sounded like to an audience in the original oral tradition.
The episodes of Creation and the 21 separate stories of the iconic figure of Abraham are recast under the microscope of the prevailing Near Eastern context of their birth. The reader is invited to experience the vivid world of antiquity and for the first time hear The Greatest Story Never Told.
Vincent M. Krivda is the Executive Director of Education Directions. With over 35 years of experience writing and negotiating contracts, Vincent now serves as an adjunct professor in the disciplines of ancient religions and business/finance. Vincent is a 1984 graduate Lee University and has completed graduate degrees at American Graduate University (Master of Contract Management, 2008) and Liberty University (Master of Arts Theological Studies, 2012).

108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man by Dinkar Pujara
108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man is an updated and revised debut in English of the author's first novel originally published in Gujarati, his native language. It is set in the spring of 1990, during a border crisis between India and Pakistan, and is an interpretation of actual historical events. A top spy for RAW, India's equivalent of the CIA, is sent to end the critical situation, one that nearly resulted in the world's first nuclear war. The spy, a complex man, spiritually ambitious but hopelessly licentious, manages to mishandle his morally repugnant personal life while trying to save the world from disaster. There are comic elements as well as serious drama in this behind-the-scenes look at international intrigue.
An environmental engineer by profession, Dinkar Pujara has written three political thrillers in his language Gujarati, an Indian language spoken by about 50 million. His debut novel in English is based on his first novel, 108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man, which dealt with a border crisis between India and Pakistan in the spring of 1990 that almost brought the world its first nuclear war.
The events involved international leaders like Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, U.S. president George H.W. Bush, and the leaders of India and Pakistan, along with spy agencies from five countries. The above are historical facts. In his debut English novel, Pujara explores what happened prior to and after the crisis. His other novel about another crisis depicts the conspiracy and assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by the world's first woman suicide bomber. There were many theories about who had conspired a young woman from Sri Lanka to blow herself up along with seventeen others and Mr. Gandhi in South India.
The author believed at the time (and even now) that President George H.W. Bush could have warned the Indian Government prior to the horrific event since he had information about a chatter between the conspirators, but he chose to sit on it because, "he disliked all Gandhis."Pujara's book was well-received, but his allegations were covered up by intelligence personnel at the CIA, NSA, and the State Department at the time. All three of Pujara's books were serialized in prominent newspapers in Gujarat, India.

REBUILDING THE TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM: THE PERSIAN EMPIRE'S INFLUENCE IN THE REBUILDING OF JERUSALEM by Sandy Miller
When the Persian Empire conquered the Babylonians, one of Cyrus the Persian's first acts was to decree that any Jew who had been deported to Babylon, by Nebuchadnezzar, nearly 70 years
earlier could return to his homeland to help rebuild the temple. His proclamation read: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build
a temple for him in Jerusalem. Cyrus apparently believed he had been divinely authorized to rule many nations with many gods and goddesses. He honored the various gods of the nations by rebuilding
the temples to their gods.
After Cyrus's proclamation, almost 40,000 Jews left Babylon and headed for Jerusalem. Cyrus sent silver and gold goblets with the exiles to be returned to the temple at Jerusalem. These sacred
vessels were plundered by Babylon and placed in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar's god, Marduk to declare his dominance over the
God of the Jews.
Sandy Miller has taught the Bible as cultural history for 17 years on two Florida University campuses. She is presently teaching at Florida Gulf Coast Academy in Naples, Florida.
Sandy loves the Bible and has been an avid student of its philosophy all of her life, teaching Bible classes in one form or another to every age group from early childhood to senior citizen groups.

Embracing Autism: One Father's Fight for His Wonder Boy by James E Strode. Guest Argelia SalgadoThis book is about the process and unique challenges that parents of autistic children inevitably go through. In these pages, I have described the enigma of trying to understand the thought processes of my child and the bewildering behaviors that made this necessary. Here are chronicled many anecdotes, a slice of our family life that is true in spirit and details, that have shaped my relationship with my name's sake, James W. Strode, or our Jimmy.
James E. Strode devoted his life to helping others. His working career spans six decades in the areas of education, religious ministry, social work, and entertainment as a mime clown. He has three biological children including Jimmy, his autistic son, who was born to him when he was 55 years old. He also has three
other step children. For the past 16 years they all lived in a bi-cultural home, his wife Beatriz being from Mexico.
James passed away unexpectedly on August 15th, 2021. However, his legacy will live on forever through his family, his work, and through the countless lives he touched along the way.

OUR CONDO ON WHEELS: STORY OF A COUPLE RVing by Diane Lenamon
RVing is quite a lifestyle in so many ways. You have to truly love the person you are traveling with. There are a lot of ends and outs to learning, but so much fun.
I was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, now living in Texas. Graduated from high school, attended college for a year. Retired in 2002 from a wonderful company. I lost my first husband to diabetes. I have five lovely children and ten grandchildren, which has given me three great-grandchildren. I remarried to a wonderful man who is one of a kind, which is the one that I traveled together for eight and half years in our RV. I love my family, life and knowing I am a Christian. I love to write about life, also love to watercolor paint (not a professional). I have also written several other books.

Armageddon's Only Weapon Is the Sword of Truth by Sandy MillerWhen I decided to teach Revelation, I had to understand Armageddon. I realized Christ's weapon was the sword of truth carried in his mouth and that his white robe was stained
with blood from his own self-sacrifice. Seeing Christ's army dressed in spotless, fine white linen, I understood Christ's army doesn't have bloody victims. Their uniforms are spotless white.
My Conclusion is that the Battle of Armageddon is a different kind of war, a war fought daily by Crist and his army of truth bearers sharing the goodness of God with people everywhere.
How long is it going to take for the sword of truth to change collective thought? We don't know, but fortunately, the book of Revelation will be around to point the way to New Jerusalem
Sandy Miller has taught the Bible as cultural history for 17 years on two Florida University campuses. She is presently teaching at Florida Gulf Coast Academy in Naples, Florida.
Sandy loves the Bible and has been an avid student of its philosophy all of her life, teaching Bible classes in one form or another to every age group from early childhood to senior citizen groups. Sunday schools, Bible schools, Bible camps, small discussion groups and Bible workshops are ongoing involvements for Sandy. Conducting Teacher Training Workshops to arm teachers with practical, creative methods and procedures to make Bible study both interesting and relevant is also a continual focus.

THE VOICE
OF THE ROOSTER
AND THE LESSONS IT TEACHES BY ELLEN BETH BERMAN
What if there is a different gauge of success than one’s accomplishments? What if life’s most significant focus is the relationship that we develop with our own souls? Can we be guided to something so important by a mere rooster?
The “rooster’s lessons” unfold, suggesting a way to value each day, by searching for its inner light. Discovering indications of this G-dly plane of existence, gives voice to one’s heart with its own expression of joy (“crow”).
May The Voice of the Rooster resonate within you and awaken you to the intrinsic beauty dwelling within the chambers of your own heart.
Ellen Beth Berman was brought up in the Appalachian hills of Southwestern Virginia. She embarked in her teens on a spiritual journey back to her religious roots. Both her undergraduate and graduate education focused on comparative religion, philosophy, and educating the young child. Of greatest significance, though, was finding in Jewish Chassidic philosophy a lens for seeing G-d in the “seemingly simple” aspects of everyday living. She compares her spiritual journey to going into the darkness of a coal mine and returning with diamonds.
Mrs. Berman and her husband now live in Maryland. “Our riches are the love of family and friends.” The author expresses heartfelt gratitude to her husband, Byron, for his time, meticulousness, and persistence in preparing this book. “His love and multi-talents are beautiful manifestations of G-d’s light in my life.”

Lo and Behold: A Christmas Story by Sally Breeze GreenLo and Behold came into being as the result of being awakened during the night and feeling nudged by the Holy Spirit to write down what came to me. The story simply wrote itself as it flowed out of my pen, and I was amazed at the result!
The name came from my father-in-law, telling me with tongue in cheek Lo and Behold were the two most famous angels in Scripture since it was written many times: "Lo, the angel of the Lord" and "Behold, the angel of the Lord."
I dedicate this book in his memory and in honor of my grandchildren.
Sally Breeze Green holds a Certificate in Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. She has served most of her adult life working in the local church setting in various capacities. She has served as a ruling elder for several tours of service at First Presbyterian Church in Midland, Texas, in the area of prayer ministry, which is her first love. She retired from eldership in mid-2019 to care for her husband in his ill health.
She has devoted much time since then to writing, which is her second love - from past church newspaper articles over many years to authoring her own spiritual journey, In Search of Grace; a study guide on prayer, In Quest of Prayer; and several studies about the Christian life. Her most recent effort was Clef Notes, a self published gathering of encouraging letters written to the Sanctuary Choir during her tenure as choir chaplain for twelve years.
Lo and Behold was adapted as a musical and presented in her home church in 1993 (before publication) and updated for presentation at Christmas in 2020.
She and her husband were engaged in their petroleum engineering firm for over forty years until their retirement in 2019. They shared nearly 65 years of marriage together this December but sadly, he passed away in June of this year. She remains devoted to her two sons and spouses, five grandchildren and spouses, and two great-grandchildren. No longer able to sing with the Sanctuary Choir (member since 1979), she upholds them from the congregational pew!

As Susan writes about in her internationally celebrated book Wired for High-Level Wellness, “Screening tests can help detect malignancies in their earliest stages, but you should always be alert for symptoms of the disease and also adopt a healthy lifestyle to help you prevent cancer and reduce your cancer risk.

buDream It First: The 80/20 Law to Manifestation of Dreams and Goals by Jacqueline R. RobertsonThis inspiring book is not just another "how to book" that you will find in the psychology, finance, business or self-help aisles of your local book store, nor will it be placed solely on the philosophy or spiritual shelves. However, the compelling messages in this fascinating book can easily be found in any of these venues. The universal messages throughout this groundbreaking book are centered on the mysterious theory of the "80/20 law," which approximately 80 percent or more of today's population isn't familiar with.

You can now step away from the "trivial many" and become a part of the "vital few" who have it all. You will find the answers you seek in Dream It First: The 80/20 Law to Manifestation of Dreams and Goals So dreamers, let's get started!
About the Author: Jacqueline R. Robertson is a motivational and business speaker who writes from Highland, California.

Tall Tales from the Tower: The Real Hillbilly Elegy
By: Stephen G. Morris
It’s true. The USAF gave a seventeen-year-old West Virginian hillbilly, a high school dropout, a battery of aptitude tests and determined he could be a Tin Man. And it wasn’t easy. Only seven graduated ATC school out of twenty-two. After a year of intensive training at a high traffic control tower, Stephen G. Morris became a Tin Man, an air-traffic controller who can move heavy air traffic safely and expeditiously. After twenty-seven years as a Tin Man, Morris became the director of a Fortune 100 company and a senior vice president at the fourth largest integrated facility management company in the US; however, his biggest lifetime achievement will always be his time as a Tin Man. When he retired from the USAF in 1984, he took over a former FAA control tower on Cape Cod, one of the hundreds of facilities the FAA PATCO union walked out of and were fired by President Reagan.
Tall Tales from the Tower is a peek into the control towers and RADAR air- traffic facilities at airports around the world with true stories of recovering lost aircraft, emergencies, safely landing seventeen fighters in severe thunderstorms, and air traffic control in a war zone.
About the Author
Stephen G. Morris enjoys traveling with his wife throughout the US and Europe. He enjoys American history and is a Civil War buff. He also has interests in politics and current events.

My Father Killed President John F. Kennedy: A MEMOIR by Bruce H. Bell with Dr. Kenneth Bell, book editor and psychiatrist for Bruce Bell, and Robert Grodin, Kennedy Assassination Specialist"In my more than half a century of studying the issues of the assassination, I have heard many stories and have never been as impressed as I am with Bruce's. I do believe that this is a true and factual story concerning the assassination of President Kennedy, finally. In the fourteen publications that I have released since 1975, I have always dealt with the physical evidence in the case and never tried to deal with a story of the inner workings of the conspiracy. This is the first time that I've dealt with the part of the biggest crime of the twentieth century. Others have unfortunately rushed to judgment and scorned other stories about the assassination, and thrown away what might have been important historical evidence. I suggest that the reader keep an open mind and understand what Bruce has gone through to bring us his story." - Robert Groden
Robert Groden has been researching the assassination of President John F. Kennedy since 1964 and has been considered a leading critic of the Warren Report since 1969. To the vast majority of Americans, Robert Groden is the assassination investigation. Mr. Groden has been accepted as the world's leading authority on the photographic evidence in the Kennedy murder since 1973.
About the Author
Bruce H. Bell is an adult survivor of significant trauma, resulting from him personally witnessing the planning of the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath.

The True Witness of Revelation The Rising of the Son by Billy Curtis
The Book of Revelation (also called the Apocalypse of John, Revelation to John or Revelation from Jesus Christ) is the final book of the New Testament, and consequently is also the final book of the Christian Bible. Its title is derived from the first word of the Koine Greek text: apokalypsis, meaning “unveiling” or “revelation.” The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon. Thus, it occupies a central place in Christian eschatology.
About the Author
I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. I was born into a poor, bad family, an award to the state at age nine. Not many things that can happen to me have not. I grew up in foster and group homes. For all intents and purposes, an unimportant white trash product of society. I had emotional issues most of my life. Only in finding the Lord have I found purpose and integrity, in the navy for four years, then became a welfare momma victim, a father of two and grandfather of one. No past family, no relations with my children, and no wife. I live alone with one dog, Ashley, a min pin-chihuahua mix. I married a girl from Ohio, a princess of society. So once married, I joined the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2008. Due to conduct, I realized that something wasn't right. I then became awake. I am disabled and all but homebound, spent the last four years online conducting the great commission and spiritual warfare, one of the world's only experts. As for work, I have done carpentry, ironwork, otr truck driving, and factory work. It is my work of twelve years that led me to life's road. If at all possible, I would like to place you on this same hope. My intention is to help establish God's kingdom on earth, provide for all true servants right up to the day of Armageddon, find a true wife, and live away from it all. I intend to use the royalties to finish my hedge, then sign it all away, all things being in common as the first-century bros did. Maybe grow a garden. Destroy the Watch Tower Society forever, the Vatican mother. See the joy on the faces of those who from this work WILL find the Lord.

Enoch-Satans war dogma against Christ by Billy Curtis
Blessed are the eyes that read and are allowed by Yahweh God to be unveiled. This is a mandatory two-book series for all groups of mankind. This is the one and only true gospel suppressed to your injury. It was intended to be a three-book series. However, circumstances dictated it be two. Every scrap of dogma within is 100 percent correct without exception. No man can correct, only accept or reject it. Whether Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Jew, atheist, Satanist, alternative lifestyle, military, demon, hybrid, or anything else, there are reasons for each of you to know as your lives depend upon it. You have the right to make fully informed decisions with your free will, also to change your minds at any time and the truth be there awaiting you. What is coming is the worst time in human history. Satan is required to give warning and now invoke that rule. Matthew 24:14 must be fulfilled before the end can come. “This” gospel (Gal. 1:8). We are on God’s time and no other. I have served you free for twelve years. I intend to take only what I need and use the rest to help humanity survive, being unable to buy or sell. Active true servants only. Also nature. Those who run this world want a one-world government. I am all for it—God’s kingdom. This is a leap of faith to that end, to charter a nonprofit and nation. Once I’ve recovered and set my hedge, I will be providing full transparency to all brothers worldwide, keep a 10 percent priest’s amount only if I even do that. Other than a possible accidental rewriting first-column citations, this two-book series fully destroys all of Babylon the great. People would rather sin than be part of a fallacy (not misspelled), which insults their intelligence and conscience. Not on my watch. The famine must end now. No matter who or what you are, I love you all without exception. Sex out of wedlock is no better than any other kind of fornication. Morality is not a sliding scale, nor is it code or Babylonian law. I was allowed to father Revelation 9:7–11. A half-dozen prophesies are attached to my work directly. I need bros of all professions and backgrounds to join with me in anticipation—men of action, sisters with courage, Muslims with Christians. Every soul that knows this truth must preach it verbatim. You can watch your planet die by the hands of criminals or save who you can. There is only one cause—the great commission (Matt. 28:19, 20). Only us who carry our torture stake will inherit this kingdom. This will be the worst and greatest generation of all time (Prov. 27:11). Be wise, my son, make my heart rejoice.

Unified Particle Theory: The Concept by Gordon W. StullIn this book, Localized Motion Researcher; Gordon W. Stull lays out in clear terms the Unified Particle Theory, which posits that all of humanity--and indeed all of creation--is more interconnected than we may realize.
Though it is a heady topic, Mr. Stull's use of language and metaphor brings the abstract into the realm of the understandable, grounding these high-minded concepts in imagery that the layman can appreciate. He goes on to suggest that the great mysteries of what brought the Universe into existence can be answered by the inclusion of God and, furthermore, that this vast interconnectedness is a result of Christ Jesus and the Kingdom of God being present in every person.
Enjoyable for the naturalist and the spiritualist alike, Mr. Stull's Unified Particle Theory sheds light onto some of the great issues of our time, and promotes thoughtful consideration.
About the Author
Born in Glendale, California, in 1955, Gordon W. Stull was actually raised in Missouri, where he still resides to this day. He has been interested in the great mysteries of the universe since he was a child - having researched the concept of infinity at age five! This passion made its way into a profession, as a small engine mechanic and pure motion researcher. Though the concept of infinity and the vastness of the universe has frightened him, he was always able to find solace in God; something which is clearly reflected in his work.

THE BOOK OF THIEVES and the JOKER'S GAME by Summer Friesen
Inheriting a book from his father was not at all the responsibility Abell expected it to be. After his father's tragic death, Abell's suspicions grow as he learns about a new world of magic and danger. A world where magic means everything; from determining your wealth, political power, social status, and even friends from enemies. As power and corruption go hand-in-hand, Abell quickly learns that nothing in either worlds is as they seem and faces the decision of finishing his father's legacy, or not.
The Book of Thieves has been a book I've been planning since my sophomore year of high school. As I grew older, the story also grew, changing with me. It started as just an outline and profiles of my characters, but then it slowly progressed to drafting specific scenes that needed to happen. It wasn't until nursing school that I wrote full chapters. Sometimes during lectures, too. Eventually, the puzzle pieces of Abell's story were painting out my original plan; a young boy that finds himself alone in the world inherits a book of magic that changes his life. Only later does he realize its importance.

Heaven on Eartha by Daisy M. JenkinsOn a historic space mission, five female American astronauts soar into the galaxy, only to discover that their intended destination has mysteriously changed to an unknown planet. They land on Planet Eartha, which is very similar to Planet Earth, except its population is 98 percent female and it's ruled by ten powerful female leaders known as Supreme Highnesses. These women use their superpowers as part of their mission to address concerns on Earth, including social injustice, mistreatment of underserved populations, religious hypocrisy, and exploitation of young girls.
When the Supreme Highnesses decide to bring five of the worst offenders from Earth to Eartha for a period of reckoning, they designate the astronauts to help fulfill this mission. These five evil individuals, who become known as the Travelers, believe they are selected for the journey to Eartha through a lottery sponsored by America's National Space Center. They think they're the luckiest people on Earth -- until they arrive at their destination and discover what the Supreme Highnesses have planned for them. Will their sins come back to haunt them in painful, unimaginable ways? Can they even survive the retribution that awaits them on this powerful, unfamiliar planet?
The ultimate lesson the Travelers learn is one that all people on Earth today would do well to heed: Never underestimate the power of women on a mission to bring justice to those who have used inequality and exploitation for personal gain.

SARTO'S TURN by Elizabeth Clayton
The work Sarto's Turn is the result of very personal struggle toward acceptance and peace: andso, I have conducted a review, a brief history of man's seeking. I was challenged by how I found the human mind/soul
work in conjunction with natural law, these activities printed through poetry and verse prose, my chosen genres. The thesis statement might be said best by lines from within the text: "Man has become cognizant,
over the eons of time, in one fashion or another, that two principles lie foundation to our existence: recognition with acceptance, and continuation."
Balance has been and always will be man's goal in continuance, the ingredient making such possible being the sentiment of love.
Elizabeth Clayton is a retired college and university professor in the fields of psychology and literature. Since retirement, she has written twenty three works, primarily poetry. Elizabeth has received numerous commendations including membership in Sigma Kappa Delta, nominations for the Eric Hoffer Award and representation at numerous world book fairs. In additon, she has several US Review Recommendations as well as multiple awards for the Golden Seal of Excellence by the Publisher. She lives alone in her country home near Jackson, Mississippi.

Take the House: A Proposal to Reform the Republic by Matthew Wells SandersIf you don't have to sell your soul to legislate, you won't owe the devil anything when you do. That's the premise behind this bold proposal that would allow the American people to Take the House. Matthew Wells Sanders urges passing a constitutional amendment that would transform the House of Representative to a body of citizens that meet certain criteria and who are chosen to serve via a lottery. Every second year, voters would decide whether to retain or dismiss their representatives on an individual basis. Upon a vote of dismissal or a vacancy, a new lottery would be held. Giving the chance for every type of citizen to serve would make the legislative process more efficient, improve accountability, and eliminate the conflicts of interest that are so rampant in government. The time has come, once again, for the people of our nation to reform our political system so that it more closely embodies the ideals espoused by our founding fathers and the many faithful patriots who have followed.
Matthew Wells Sanders is an engineer, author, husband and father. He holds a bachelor of science in computer science from the United States Air Force Academy and a master's degree in social work from Walla Walla College. This work represents the culmination of his deep interest in systems engineering, his love and compassion for individuals, and his desire to see the United States government operate more soundly and effectively.

HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES?: (WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM COVID-19) by Meril R. Smith"... a manual for now and the future, providing intelligent, practical guidance for all concerned with the new lifestyle template that Covid has imposed."
- Barbara Bamberger Scott, The US Review of Books
HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES? is a follow-up to a "survival" book that was written during the first three months of the COVID-19 Pandemic. With over a year and a half of living with the COVID-19 virus and with the probability of COVID-19 finally being under control, this book helps all of us step back and take a look at how we have thought and acted during the months and months of pandemic. Ask yourself, "Am I just trying to forget the whole thing as if it were just a nightmare? Or, are there things I have learned about myself and my family that are important now and in the future? What new skills have I learned? Are there ways I think about and treat other people that have changed? Do I like myself better? Am I finding my better self? Am I also helping each person in my family find their better selves?
Meril's unique experience as a spacecraft controller during the moon landings, a student of history, an enjoyment of research, a good sense of humor, a wide variety of life experience, and a forty-year career in all levels of education, provides an excellent backdrop for Meril's informative and easy to read books.
Meril R. Smith grew up at the end of World War II with children of migrant farm workers, children born in the Japanese internment camps, and children of day laborers and blue-collarworkers. Poverty, recessions, and helping each other were all basic parts of surviving. Living through the times of the Berlin Wall, the Salk polio vaccine, economic recessions, the space race, the development of Silicon Valley, and the Vietnam War fueled Meril's passion for understanding people and events. His training, life experience, and career provides an excellent backdrop for writing HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES? (WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM COVID-19).

Pre-Destination by Dr. Elizabeth James-Akpojosevbe
In the short span of Dr. Elizabeth James-Akpojosevbe’s Christian life, she has discovered that many people generally do not know why they were created. Each one of us has a purpose designed for our life by God. Man does not exist by chance. Many believe life is about growing up, going to school, getting married, and getting a job and/or starting a business. However, Elizabeth has discovered in the course of her walk with God that each one of us has been given a glorious destiny.
Predestination: The Christian Experience is an insight into discovering the essence of being. Until one walks with God, one cannot discover that unique destiny that has been allotted to each. Hence a lot of people live drifting with the tide of life without meaning and direction. This book is unique because this topic is seldom addressed even in Christendom. Anyone who reads this book will find it compelling to know what their purpose in life is. It will draw people to God and will drive them to seek to know more about Him. The book will also enable the reader to re-order his priorities and be purposeful about their decisions for progress in life.
About the Author
Dr. Elizabeth James-Akpojosevbe was a television producer for 25 years in her country of Nigeria. She obtained her first degree in Theater Arts from the premiere University of Nigeria, The University of Ibadan. In 1998, she was transferred by her job, an international television outfit, to the United States of America, but after six months she got tired of TV work and decided to give back to society because she believes God has been good to her, so she became a social worker.
Her coming to the U.S. was God-ordained when God instructed her to commence preaching in the subways in New York, where she lives. This has been her passion and she has continued since then even while working. Hence she obtained her PHD in Christian Ministry.

Other-Centered Leadership: How to Treat Ministry Colleagues by John R. StrubharMost books on leadership focus on what a leader is and what a leader can do to improve himself or herself as a leader. After 50 years of pastoral leadership in various capacities as a Lead Pastor, Executive Pastor, District Superintendent, Adjunct College and Seminary professor, Conference Speaker and Consultant I have come to the conclusion that the most important aspect of leadership is how the
leader engages and serves his/her ministry colleagues and the larger church constituency. Transformative leaders have the uncanny ability to relate well to all levels of leadership in the church, the staff, governing board, ministry leaders and congregational members. Most pastors are good theologians; many, however, suffer from a lack of knowing how to engage with others in a relational capacity that reflects the clear teaching of God’s word. They know and preach with their heads, but their hearts are unresponsive to the biblical and significantly practical truths that are essential for building a strong team of motivated colleagues.
In working with governing boards, pastoral staffs, and churches in trouble, I’ve discovered that many church leaders and pastors do not know how to put the interests and passions of their ministry colleagues before their own interests and passions. A lack of valuing the passions and gifts of other staff/lay leaders keeps pastors and churches from reaching their full potential. Improving the way we interact with one another as a ministry team may address the current crisis in many evangelical movements where more than 20 churches close every day, 15 pastors leave the ministry every day and 80-90 % of many long-established churches are plateaued or declining. Unfortunately, Covid 19 has exacerbated this downward trend. Other-centered Leadership is my attempt to call church leaders back to the biblical basics of leadership that many well-intentioned leaders tend to forget or worse yet, refuse to practice in their relationships with fellow team members. Our relationship with God and the way we treat our ministry colleagues is a mirror into our heart’s motivations and desires. My prayer is that these simple principles gleaned from God’s word and interaction with hundreds of leaders will stimulate a new generation of pastoral leaders who will “treat others better than themselves” for the glory of God.
Dr. Strubhar attended Westmont College and graduated from Fort Wayne Bible College with a Bachelor of Arts in 1969. He continued his theological education at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, receiving a Master of Divinity in 1973, a Master of Theology in Practical Theology in 1975 and a Doctor of Ministry in Administration and Church Revitalization in 1980. In his current role with Interim Pastor Ministries, he has facilitated the “turnaround” of a number of churches across denominational lines. His previous publications include Evangelistic Preaching: A Step-by-Step Guide to Pulpit Evangelism (co-author Lloyd Perry) published by Moody Press in 1979 and reprinted by Wipf & Stock in 2000; Life Worth Living: What the True Story of Jonah teaches us About God and Living on His Terms and In Pursuit of the Greatest Gift: What the Love Chapter Reveals About Godly Living, both published by Sermon to Book in 2018. Dr. Strubhar and his wife Sandy reside in Buckeye, AZ and have three grown adult children, eleven grandchildren and one great grandson.

In Loving Life Poems of Inspiration and Enlightenment, Poet Robin Hosking
reminds us that we are born to love, and we are never without love as love is a part
of us all. Robin believes that if we love, we live; if we stop loving or turn away from
the love offered to us, we die.
Love Never Dies
We Knew without knowing,
seen without seeing,
touched without touching, and
Loved without loving
We are one will always be, never without the other through all eternity.
Light of Love
Love is something you do not choose,
As love is already a part of you
Love shows up when you least expect it to,
When all you see is doom and gloom…
Robin Hosking is a Spiritually Intuitive Canadian born
poet, on a Mission of Love.
Robin has previously published two other books:
Seeing Life Poems of Empowerment and Self-Confidence,
as well as Living Live Poems and Reflections.

Ephemeral Awaking by Luana StebuleI have long been familiar with Luana Stebule's visual work, her paintings. But I did not know she wrote poetry until she asked me to read and edit this volume. I found it quite astonishing how, in many ways, she manages to translate the same sensibilities and influences found in her paintings into her written work. Though these poems, of course, stand alone on their own merit, they can also be read as extensions of her paintings. It is with great pleasure that I am able to say I helped this work see publication and get into your, the reader's, hands. American writer and professor of English language Robert Masterson.
I have now been living and creating for a nearly a decade in the United Kingdom. My works previously included many projects for theatrical stage settings, mural paintings, together with 24 solo and 37 shared exhibitions in Europe: Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, England and in the United States. To briefly recap I was born in Lithuania, in 1962. In Antanas Martinaitis Art School and Academy of Art I was taught art techniques, styles and the finer points of the craft. However, I think amongst the most important influences in the creativity, deepest understanding and originality in my work comes from infinity, God and immortality. The spiritual level of artworks is very important to me. Many years ago, Leonardo Da Vinci wrote “Where the spirit does not work with the hand there no art”. My artworks are poems on canvas. In order to achieve particular expressions, I stylize forms by simplifying them in my own unique way. My pictures have elements of surrealism, pointillism and conceptualism. The idea behind artwork is very important to me. My current artworks are traditional, oil on canvas, though for many years my favourite technique was the production of collages with use of numerous materials including wood, sawdust, mirrors, leather and textiles. Layer by layer these imbued the richness of the final surface. The pictures provide a physical body to juxtapose and suffuse it veritably with a jazz of visual performance. Picture sales have previously been by traditional methods of exhibitions and word of mouth, only in 2018, when I participated in Art Expo New York, I created a website and become visible on the world of the internet. 2 Since 2018 I have received some recognitions.By the International Art Market Magazine I was selected to be on the Gold List as one of the Top Artists of Today. In January 2020 in Florence, I was awarded the 3 rd International Leonardo Da Vinci prize and in September - the New York City Prize. In 2020 my artworks included in the Art Anthologies “Important World Artists 2020” and “International Current Masters 2021” published by “Artavita” in the US. Also, in 2020 my artworks also appeared in the book “The Great Masters of Contemporary Art”. Most recently in 2021, one of my artworks selected into the book “Best 2021 Modern and Contemporary Artists”, in 2021 I was awarded the “Dante Alighieri International Prize”.

Proud Gods and Commodores: Assorted Poems and Epic Tales (Volume 1) by James McMillan
Debuting author invites readers to immerse themselves in an enthusiastic weaving of poetry and narrative. … Alternating between booming classical mythologies and contemporary accessible voices… - Kirkus Review McMillan immerses the reader in multiple styles of poetry and epic tales, plus characters that leap into life and all its consequences, from despondent even suicidal, to discovery, to mystery, to love, and sometimes even to absolute triumph, plus a healthy dose of what he calls “gnarly Haiku,” trying to compress so much into so little. … A topsy-turvy view of pop culture and literature in the grand tradition of Surrealists and Dadaists… - Kirkus Review His style is not poetry nor narrative nor stream-of-consciousness, but one he hopes to carry the reader as if on a river, faster and slower, with twists and turns, and maybe a few rapids just for the hell of it. Come on in and see what you think
All you need to know about me is that I am a practicing Chiropractor here in Modesto, California, now for forty-fi ve years and still practicing. Over that time I have laid hands on people therapeutically more than 250,000 times… more or less… that’s a quarter of a million… boggles my own mind… So many of them now grown old and gone… And now I see their children, grandchildren and even a few great-grandchildren…that too boggles the mind…forces me to contemplate life and death — body, mind, and spirit — and the meaning of it all. That’ll keep you awake at night, like trying to gather up quicksilver in a chem lab.

She still plays ping pong, attends a critique group, and has published six novels and three books of poetry. She has also published poems locally and nationally but has lost that list due to computer wipe-out. She taught English for 23 years in high school and college.

The Gospel "Lite": Four Witnesses by Edwin Alan SalhanyTaking a unique approach to harmonizing the Biblical accounts, Edwin Alan Salhany expertly weaves the four Gospel stories together into one continuous chronological narrative, removing duplication, and yet preserving all the details and nuances of the different writers. Using the venerable King James text, this is not a paraphrase, but a re-edit of the very Word of God. An invaluable resource for Bible students, pastors, and teachers, each period and incident in the Savior’s life is identified and labeled, with full text references, dates, and indexes. This is not just another Gospel harmony, grouping related texts together. With this unique consolidation of the Good News it is possible to read all four Gospels simultaneously, and easily study the record of Jesus’ life on earth.
The son of missionary parents Alan is a lifelong disciple of Christ and student of the Scriptures. A master mechanic and successful business owner Alan graduated college cum laude with degrees in theology and applied religion. He has served as industrial arts, Bible and history teacher, school administrator, youth leader, church elder, and lay-preacher. His favorite areas of study include Bible history and chronology, eschatology, and the prophetic significance of the Jewish Tabernacle/Temple services and festivals. Alan and his wife Sue reside with their family in Ethridge, Tennessee, where they serve their community through their natural foods business, and their church as local leaders.

Code Name - Zeus: A Geo-political Saga by Gary AndersenGovernment agencies and sinister organizations in the United States and around the world closely follow the activities in and around the small town of Kursk, Texas. The town and surrounding area, settled by German Russian immigrants in the early twentieth century, suffered greatly from the dual impact of the Dust Bowl years and the Great Depression, only to be saved by two strange newcomers from Europe who are great believers in capitalism and the American way of life. After making a vast fortune, starting on the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, and around Beaumont, Texas, Russian immigrant Robert Barzinsky and his junior partner, Jack Barnett, a native of Ireland, move to Kursk, Texas. They ranch, drill for oil, and create a secret project, code name: Zeus, where they prepare for a major worldwide disaster. Barnett's son, Jack Jr., is the Renaissance man who recruits a team of techies, led by Chip Faraday, to provide the technological evolution to successfully prepare for the eventual destruction of most human life on earth. Chip Faraday, his lifelong friend Rick Christiansen, their former professor Dr. Dane Madsen, and a small group of outcasts provide the path to survival.
Gary Andersen was raised on farms his parents rented near small towns in Minnesota. He graduated from high school, one of eight boys in a class of fifteen, then received a BSEE (days) and BSBA (nights) from the University of Minnesota. Over five decades, he went from designing computer logic and memory systems to sales and marketing positions with several companies including Intel Corporation. He and his family moved to the Bay Area in 1975 and to Texas for an expected two years in 1979, but have remained in Texas. In 1986, he became the sixth CEO of a small, never profitable, seven-year-old high-tech venture-capitalist-backed company. He dramatically grew the company and made it profitable. He managed the company's successful IPO in 1994 and then left on his tenth anniversary as CEO. He and his wife are actively involved with their family and a wide range of friends.

Shadow of the Rainbow by Randa Lynne ZollingerThe Hansens seemed to be a contented, happy family when the kids were young. Brandon, the oldest, was the perfect son, continuing the tradition of being a great athlete like his father and grandfather before him. The twins, Jaden and Jenny, revered their older brother and sought to emulate him. As Brandon started high school and the twins began middle school, things in the idyllic American family began to change. The siblings had typical teenage issues in school as well as with their parents, but it was more than that. Fighting, suspensions, and drugs had never been in their plans. Picture-perfect on the outside, the family was jolted when Jaden, who wanted nothing more than to please his dad and older brother, failed miserably as he began to discover his sexual identity. If it hadn't been for the support of his sister and a neighbor, Jaden might have tried to end his life long before he did. While dealing with Jaden, his father was forced to confront issues neither imagined nor expected. Live through Jaden's story as he struggles to understand the ramifications of his father's haunted past and continues to forge on in his quest for the "rainbow."

Chop! Chop! Chaplain: Chaplain Ministry in a Beef Processing Plant by Rev. Heidi ReveloWhat does ministry look like in a 2,800-employee beef-processing plant? Chaplain Heidi takes you by the hand as she gently pulls back the thin layer of veneer of real experiences with Muslims, Christians, languages, cultures, customs, traditions, and a splash of corporate policy. It's a merry-go-round of colorful stories with emotional highs and lows punctuated with laughter. "If we can see each other as people, not a label, it changes the way we see the world. I'm a mom, and that Muslim woman is a mom. Now we're seeing each other through the same lens of life's camera. I want others to meet the people I love, care about, and minister to."
Rev. Heidi Erion Revelo, Chaplain Heidi, grew up in Cozad, Nebraska. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in communication from University of Nebraska at Kearney and went on to earn a master's of divinity from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard, Illinois. She was ordained in the American Baptist Churches. She served United Methodist churches for six years in Nebraska. Her position as a part-time chaplain at a beef-processing plant began in 2013. All those parables Jesus teaches jump to life when you're from a state of cows and corn. My life parable is 'The Sower.' I am called to sow, to help people, to encourage, and live out my faith. The Wheat and the Weeds, The Mustard Seed, and The Lost Sheep are also parables that speak to her. She is married with two young adult daughters.

THE DIGNITY OF SERVICE: THE POWER OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP by Nathan W. McKie, Sr.
In 2018, Nathan published a book entitled, The Dignity of Profit: Building Community through Entrepreneurship. In it he described the call that we have as Christians to go out into the field to make a difference and the landscape that awaits those servants who do. A general approach to the way this plays out at field level was provided; but now, there has been some actual experience that we use to flesh out the process.
Through a grant from a local economic development organization, Luke 16 Corp (a non-profit founded by Nathan) purchased a building and built out areas for incubated businesses. This facility also included a café for training people for work focused on customer service. It is an unusual concept in that businesses get support by the Luke 16 organization. This book is about how to garner the support necessary to make projects like this be all that they can be.
Jeffery Baker is joining in this book to provide the additional perspective that will make it much richer in terms of a broader knowledge of field work. Both Nathan and Jeff have entrepreneurial backgrounds and seek to foster a better understanding of the power that can come from true service-oriented approach.
Additionally, our experience has helped us understand the potholes that await anyone who seeks to step out in faith. Profit was directed toward churches, and to some degree businesspeople, who weren't that interested in either social enterprises or social entrepreneurship. So, here's the approach in Service: let's develop the notion that servants are not weak or ignorant folks who can't or won't take on such projects. As we look at what it means to be a servant leader, we hope you will find yourself imagining how you can pursue your dream or objective with this approach.
Ultimately, the main focus still has to be on developing community. For we believe that only by doing so can there be a meaningful impact on helping to alleviate poverty. We will look closely at the fallacy of other programs and provide some alternatives that can be very effective.

Nathan W. McKie, Sr.
Nathan’s earliest real experience as an entrepreneur came at 12 years old when he began a newspaper route – mostly on bicycle, but sometimes on his horse. involving many skills necessary for being in business. He graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in Business Administration and was immediately commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. He learned discipline, logistics skills, and management of a large group of people.
Upon leaving the military, Nathan worked in manufacturing, distribution, retail, and computer sales. Some of these were as a business owner or independent contractor. He later received his MBA from Delta State University. A job as general manager of a manufacturing company drew him to St. Louis, MO, where he later created his own manufacturing company then as a business broker and a retail consultant.
In 2016, he launched Luke 16 Corp, a non-profit organization focused on community development. In 2018, he published The Dignity of Profit: Creating Community Through Entrepreneurship, a book that laid out a plan for how to address the need for small business to take its rightful role in helping strengthen local economies

The Bible Is a Single Book by H. Doyle SmithGod is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. The Bible tells of his powers and more. Everything we need to know to be saved are all in the Bible. Most people, though, think the Bible is simply a written recording of anecdotes of God and his interaction with humans and the testament of his power. That is, however, not all of it. The scholars have excluded the apocrypha, purposely preserving the teachings that are constant throughout the books in the Bible. This makes the Bible more than just the collection of the sacred texts from the days of God. The scholars have observed a system. The Bible Is a Single Book undertakes the project of explaining the outline and theme found in the Bible. This will pave way for readers to be further enlightened when studying the Bible for their salvation.
H Doyle Smith is the son of a Southern Baptist Minister. He is a member of Mensa and other similar organizations. He is a retired CPA and has had many experiences where the ideas taught in this book have made life simpler for his clients.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Doyle has lived in ten states and visited all but Hawaii. He has worked in twenty two states, as a CPA for thirty years, a corporate auditor, hospital controller, governmental personnel clerk, in real estate, and many other fields. Whereas most people have had one year’s experience sixty times, Doyle has had 60 years’ experience, and claims to know more about the workings of our country from working in it than anyone he knows.
A graduate (BS) from the University of Arizona, Doyle received a master’s degree in education from Western Carolina University and has studied for a doctorate in both economics and history.

Health Benefits of Kindness with Susan Smith Jones, PhD
You've heard the uplifting stories: Passersby dropping scads of cash into charity collection buckets or anonymous donors paying off hospital bills for strangers. People helping victims during storms and natural disasters. Or the simple act of someone bringing food to an elderly, sick neighbor or taking care of their garden while they recuperate. These acts of kindness make everybody feel good. But did you know that there's a science behind that phenomenon called "loving kindness." And research shows that learning and practicing loving kindness can profoundly affect your attitude, outlook and even your health. Better yet, you can rewire your brain to be more present and kinder to others, giving your mood a daily boost. According to our guest today, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, a holistic health and lifestyle expert and author, random acts of kindness bless both the giver and the receiver. She will tell us why kindness should be a year-long practice.

Water for the Rose by Wayne LuthiOur world is a sea of poetry, yet with everyday demands for our attention and our survival, we are almost forced solely into the expedient. With little room left for a faculty that requires us to slow down for it to function, imagination, reflection, and wonder have to hitchhike to find their way to our deeper places. Like the old phonographs that played vinyl records, poems are running at 33rpm whereas the business of the everyday is running on 45 or 78rpm. 45 or 78rpm gets through the records a lot quicker but the beauty and clarity of the music are missed. The poems contained here are for when you have a moment to take that evening walk. The invitation is to find an experience of delight in an image or the association of images that we normally don't put together. My hope is that there are many pieces here that offer you a perspective that speaks to you in some way and maybe to a place in yourself that hasn't been spoken to for a while.

I Am Here, Let’s Go Home: Poems of San Francisco, of Earlier Times and Places by Wayne Luthi
As with a gourmet meal, the whole experience is a combination of flavors, scent, presentation, and atmosphere. It is this that I strive for in my writing. Poets often take what has been given to them in their experience and deconstruct and reconstruct perception in a way that can offer the unconsidered a different perspective. Sometimes lyric can quiet or console, sometimes it can stick as a pollen grain of realization. Experiences of images, places, and people are shared here for the inner world of imagination and reflection, hopefully in a way that joins with something in you. The theme and focus of this work is of a time period when I lived in San Francisco, England, and Thailand. I was fortunate to “live” in the coffee houses and on the streets of the beat poets, to spend endless hours in the late Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s City Lights Book Store. I was fortunate to have been able to play as a child in the sacred hollows of the redwood trees. This book celebrates those worlds.

After becoming angry and awakened from his multi-generational slumber… Oracle Hotep must now choose to either side with B-poet’s curiosity over the identity of our Unknown Scholar or curse his life for eternity after being awoken in an untimely fashion.

COME FILL UP MY CUP by Jean Murray Munden
On a trip to Scotland, Robin Lindsay, a 45-year-old Canadian widow, meets James Maclachlan, a Scottish widower.
James is haunted by his poor relationship with his wife, who died under mysterious circumstances nearly 10 years ago, leaving a daughter and infant son. The couple fall in love, but events emerging from the past, and violent murder in the present, complicate matters.
About The Author
I grew up in a small town in Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, at sixteen moved to the Vancouver area where I finished high school, and trained as a nurse in one of the city’s two hospital schools of nursing. I married a widower with three children, had one child of our own, and travelled extensively with my husband, who was a professional engineer. I have always been a storyteller, and loved to write, but didn’t do any serious writing until the 80s. Now widowed with four grandchildren and one great grandson, I travelled on my own with friends or family up until COVID made that impossible.

Joe's Alamo Unsung by Lewis E. CookRemember the Alamo! is a slogan known worldwide for courage in battle against overwhelming odds. In that historic stand less than two hundred volunteers fought against five thousand soldiers for thirteen days. According to Joe, the only male survivor, all races and religions fought and died there. Lead by William Travis, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett the Alamo defenders bravely made the ultimate sacrifice while suffering ever darkening days.
Joe was severely wounded during the massacre but allowed to live because he spoke Spanish and could translate the terrifying words of the army general who relentlessly attacked the Alamo. General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna wanted the Alamo to become symbolic of hopelessness and certain death for anyone that opposed his reign of terror. That did not happen due to efforts of Susana Dickinson and Joe, a slave.
This novel is inclusive of all races and religions just as Joe described. Its characters reflect the real personalities of Alamo defenders.
It includes recently discovered facts about William Travis, Joe, Susana Dickinson, Davy Crockett and John, who was pitifully listed among the dead only as a black boy.
53rd Annual WorldFest 2020 Remi Award Winner
I was a science major, premed (biology and chemistry) at the University of Arkansas. After arriving in Texas and awaiting my bar results I got a job teaching biology, chemistry, eighth grade science and one seventh grade Texas history class. Full disclosure that I knew no Texas history got no sympathy and no class exchanges from the science department chairman who shrugged saying, “Stay a chapter ahead of them.” That didn’t work. One of the seventh grader’s dad taught American History at the University of Houston and this kid knew his stuff. His questions were sharp and he took pride in returning with challenging corrections and insights. I was forced to read the complete Texas, My Texas text book and went to the Alamo over Thanksgiving. Damn if I didn’t find it interesting.
So, this account of the Alamo began with my reading a one line quote from Joe, William Travis’ slave - the only male survivor of the Alamo. Joe said, “There were many different races and religions there.” Joe was severely wounded and probably allowed to live only because he spoke Spanish. General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna wanted his massive human slaughters at the Alamo and Goliad to symbolize hopelessness and certain death to all who stood against his mighty army. Instead ‘Remember the Alamo’ has come to symbolize bravery and the resolve of a few to stand firmly against overwhelming odds in battle worldwide.
Before the course ended my learned student had one last inquiry. Who first said ‘Remember the Alamo? Was it the Mexican General Santa Anna, Joe Travis, Susanna Dickinson or General Sam Houston? I wondered, too, how those words became so meaningful without any recognition to the slogan’s originator.
Joe, Susanna Dickinson, Angelina (her toddler), Emily (The Yellow Rose of Texas), William Travis, Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett and other whites, blacks, Hispanics, women, teenagers, and foreigners from most religions are due a hefty level of respect for their sacrifices at the Alamo and for Texas. As Troy Duane Smith said, ‘The pursuant of truth, not facts, is the business of fiction.” This fictional account, filled with humor and sarcasm, attempts to recognize them all with that last inquiry firmly in mind. This novel is my well-reasoned and researched answer. — Lewis E. Cook

Colossians: Verse by Verse by Dr. Jack HetzelThe reason for this writing was to hopefully give fuller understanding of every major subject Apostle Paul mentioned in the book of Colossians by writing a short chapter on each subject. At times when Paul used a word, I would write a chapter on that particular word. Not that I am smarter than the reader, but perhaps placing what knowledge I have of the bible after sixty eight years in the ministry which I consider to be the word of God and that the only way to true faith is to believe what is written, and to help people see themselves as God sees them. God said, "I know the thoughts I think of you; always good and never bad." Jeremiah 29:11(KJV)
Born in West Monroe, Louisiana on November 18, 1921, to Reverend and Mrs. R. Hetzel. Jack’s father was a church planter who planted several churches in Louisiana, fourteen in Texas, two in Mississippi, and one in Arkansas. Jack spent three years in the US Army Air Corps, three years in the US Air Force, and fourteen years in the US Army. He retired from the Army as a teacher of Military Science at A&M University of Texas. He served in five major battles in Europe and through most of the Viet Nam War. Retired as Sergeant First Class.
He has ministered in most of Western Europe, including England, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain, Korea, Japan, Australia, and Ghana in West Africa. He obtained his first ministerial credentials with the Assemblies of God of the USA. He is presently a pastor of First United Methodist Church of Big Sandy, Texas

To Tell the Truth... Ethics Unwrapped by Fred Fox
Your life is about you. Born of a peak experience in 1993, To Tell the Truth... centers on the basic element of humanity -- the individual -- and why, being the only you who ever was, is, or will be, you must be important. After all, you're an integral piece of the big picture, which can't be truly complete without you. This alone puts you on the first team.
To Tell the Truth... deals with:
• Your relationships -- both vital and not, and how to avoid the tendency to replace the vital ones with those less significant
• how you can help resolve the world's problem(s) simply by returning to the basics -- first principles and natural law -- believing what you already know and becoming who you really are
• How to tap into your innate resources to create your own personal belief system and philosophy for right living
Your responsibility to humanity is only to be ethical and to act -- create -- morally. To Tell the Truth... is all about you and your future -- it's well worth your time.
FRED FOX is an aged but well-mellowed retiree—geologist, entrepreneur, widower, photographer, writer and accordion player—living in the Arizona desert near Tucson. He is on his second wife (the first passed away after a successful 54-year marriage and four children (one of each). This book is the result of a life-changing Peak Experience in 1993 at age 60. You’ll find that it was worth the effort.
Soon after discovering (the hard way) that he didn’t think like an engineer, Lewis moved into the arts and sciences where his thoughts and writing abilities found a better fit, and he’s been thinking and writing philosophically about Earth and living for more than 60-years. You’ll find examples of both at www.ExtremeEthics.org.
While founding two successful (small) corporations he earned an MBA employing a rational approach to people and ethics. Finding that most folks have no true grasp of ethics, he set about clarifying the subject to make it more accessible to those who would profit from it. Turns out that it’s simpler than he thought and that everyone can benefit.
Ethics is not rocket science. It’s more important than that.

FAILURE TO MAN IS NOT FAILURE TO GOD: Volume III by Audrey A. Thomas Esq.
This book was written in three parts, which is symbolic of the tripartite spirit. I did this because I wanted to make certain that I accomplish the mission of empowering you in your ability to forgive yourself by choosing not to dwell in, on, or around shame. Yes, I wrote this book to discourage shame. I believe unwaveringly that shame is not of God. Shame, is however, the source of all of the pain, frustration and anxiety we experience. Shame is the source of suicide. Shame is the culprit behind most crimes of passion and shame is the catalyst for failure. I believe unequivocally that by reading this book, you will find your niche and will be able to join me as, for now, it seems I am a minority of one. Your success is as simple as choosing to accept that all things work together for the greater goodness of God and the closer you are to God, the less likely you are to be negatively affected and/or retarded by the judgments, un-forgiveness, and malicious intent of the "ignorant human." As you read this book, purpose in your heart to walk away transformed for the better.
Audrey A. Thomas is an inspirational speaker, radio show host, lawyer, youth advocate, humanitarian, and the author of Your Eyes Can’t See My Heart. This is her most recent book, and it is a remarkable story about personal transformation, intellectual development, and maintaining a positive outlook on life. She is also a grandmother to her seven wonderful grandchildren and the mother of nine children. In fact, she has been in the spotlight for most of her life that she has received several awards, such as Carl B. Moxie’s Best Radio Show Host, Linkage Award, and Mother of the Year.

Inspiration of Time: A Book of Inspiring Poems by Charles BreitweiserThere is nothing more inspiring than a new day. Charles Breitweiser has learned to turn tragedy into triumph with a poetic philosophy that can help others overcome the tragedies in their lives. His inspiring poetry is based on 35-years of real life experiences, often revealed in his dreams like a “slap in the face from God, who woke me up and prepared me to share my gift.” “Inspiration of Time” is motivational, inspirational, and also challenges the reader to reach a level of higher well-being.
Charles Breitweiser, as a 17-year-old high school senior, was killed in a car accident in 1979. But, with the help of the paramedics, his heart began to beat again. However, following a six-month coma, he was left with loss of use of his left arm and leg, as well as impaired vision. As with any severe injury, it was accompanied by the demons of depression, fear, inferiority, and lack of self-esteem. Combined with the uncertainties of adolescence, led him through years of depression, self-pity, and self-loathing. He was awakened by the love of Jesus Christ who wrote the most beautiful and inspirational poetry on his heart which completely changed his life. “My new Attitude” spoke with a message that the reason he suffered was to use his pain as a way to help other people through the suffering in their lives. Charles claims none of the glory for himself. All this was done by the power of God’s love. Charles is known to say, “God is the painter, I am just the paint brush.” My mission from God is to help people understand the emotional pain they are facing as a way to appreciate the painful suffering in their lives better, and turn the stumbling block into a stepping stone.

MEMORIES OF MONTSERRAT by Dr. Irene S. Prospere
Dr. Irene S. Prospere has written a beautiful anthology of endemic colloquialisms from the perspective of one versed in the wit and nuances of the island people of Montserrat. Every syllable is heavily laced with the lilt and sharpness of a happy and carefree people, rich with the mixture of Irish brogue and colonial English.
She conjures the sweet memories of her home and of days past, growing up with her siblings, cousins, and friends in her beloved village of Collins Ghaut in St. Johns, Montserrat. Walking barefoot to and from school and getting up before the sun to do all her chores are fond memories of a time long gone. The characters in her stories are family, her mother and father, her brothers Wellington, Daniel, Stanley, Clyde, and Everton and her sisters Mildred, Inez and Elizabeth (affectionately called Babylyn).
Her main purpose in putting pen to paper is to capture all the memories, telling stories she heard of people she used to know and her many treasured friends, so that someday future generations can read Memories of Montserrat and never forget that the most important things in life are not riches or fame but family.
Dr. Irene S. Prospere, née Allen was born on September 13, 1944, at St Johns in the Parish of St. Peter, in the Island of Montserrat, West Indies. Irene Allen attended St John’s Elementary School, which was at the time held in St. John’s Anglican Church where her family worshipped. The school was eventually relocated on government property at Gerald’s, and she attended school there up to the seventh standard. After leaving school, she took extramural courses which included accounting under the tutelage of Mr. Vernon Lewis. Irene then joined the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade in 1964, and from 1966 to 1980, she was the chief lecturer in First Aid. She then served in the Royal Montserrat Police Service from 1970 to 1980 and was promoted to the rank of Corporal in 1978. She emigrated to the United States of America, entered Roxbury Community College, and obtained her GED in 1981. Irene obtained employment at the State of Massachusetts Department of Highway and Motor Vehicles where she was responsible for keeping and updating records of suspended driver’s licenses.
In 1982, Irene entered the Deaconess Hospital where she worked during training, eventually obtaining her Nursing Assistant Certificate. From 1984 to 1987, Irene attended the University of Massachusetts/Boston College of Community and Public Service where she received her Bachelor in Humanities degree. She received her certificate as a paralegal and was awarded for being the most outstanding student. In 1986, Irene obtained employment with Greater Boston Legal Services.
In 1989, Irene moves with her family to Florida, where she took up employment with the Department of Children and Families as a prevention and child protective investigator. Between 1997 and 2000, Irene studied at Troy State University where she received a master’s degree in counseling and psychology. During this period, Irene worked for Deveraux as a mental health counselor, and from 2000 to 2005 for Intervention Services as a mental health therapist.
In 2000, Irene enrolled in United Bible College and Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida, where she obtained a Doctorate in Christian Counselling in 2004. In 2002, Dr. Prospere started her own business under the name Irene’s Christian Academy, Inc. where she provides daycare services for infants and children through kindergarten and regular school education for children from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
She has published three books: Jesus, the Ultimate Counselor, Memories of Montserrat, and Playing In The Rain.

A Letter to Heaven, Part 1: The Loss by Rev DB Tyon
A Letter to Heaven, Part 1 "The Loss", by author/ minister, Dennel B. Tyon, covers the first seven years after the death of my only sister, LeDon. It chronicles my struggle to accept her passing and keep my faith in spite of it - in fact, it demonstrates how my faith has grown because of it. God touched me in a way that is hard to express in words; so my journaling and letters that I actually wrote to my sister after her death depict my spiritual journey throughout this novel. This is my tribute to a beautiful woman that did not get to be on this earth for very long, but who touched so many lives and left them better for it in her short time here. It is my gift to my two nephews, who had to grow up without her...in the hope that they can come to know her through it. Ultimately, though, it is a celebration of our Creator; He who gives, and takes away. Life is so precious and too few of us acknowledge that as much as we should. It is my hope that others can find comfort in my words and peace with their existence, understanding that we are not in control but that there is One who is. However, this book is NOT ONLY FOR BELIEVERS... it is for those who QUESTION faith, who SEEK answers and don't know where to find them; and for those who doubt everything, question everything and desire an understanding of this strange existence we are experiencing. My only intention is to inspire, uplift and enlighten my readers by inviting them to share my experiences, both physical and spiritual. With one chapter written specifically to those who lost loved ones on '9-11', the last chapter is written specifically, 'to the skeptics' in the hope that they will at least consider the possibilities.
My life has been far too eventful to fit in a box, so I've always journaled. One day, I will put all my notebooks together, and start writing the script for "Seasons in the Sun"; a new soap opera for the next generation. "God" told me, when I was 8 years old, that I would write a book one day; even though I didn't know who would want to read anything I have to say. I never put my pen down to paper after that. When I told my grandma this, though, she told me that "God" would not speak to me because I was a woman. Little did she know, we talked all the time.

THE BOX AND MY TROUBLE GETTING IT by Bruce Tryon
Suddenly, I found myself being sucked up toward the cargo bay doors, so I grabbed hold of the nearest steel tie ring on the floor. The tie rings looked to be about two inches in diameter. I struggled, trying not to get sucked up through the opening cargo bay doors. I was hit in the leg by a box, which almost made me lose my grip on the floor ring. I kicked the box away; it struck the floor and flew open. I looked inside and found what looked like a spacesuit. I grabbed it and put it on. Hopefully, I could get out of the cargo bay alive and catch a ride back to the ship even though I didn't have that box. Putting the suit on without getting sucked out of the cargo bay doors was a major problem. I put my foot through a floor ring, anchoring myself to the floor. Struggling into the spacesuit, I found it was too tight. Working frantically, I took off my uniform and put the spacesuit back on. It was a tight fit, but it would work. I looked around for the helmet, and I did not see it anywhere. As I looked up toward the doors in the ceiling, I did notice something shiny. I focused on the shiny small object, which I fervently hoped was the helmet to the suit I was wearing.
Bruce B. Tryon grew up in Utica, NY, one of three siblings. I started off in the printing profession in a small printing office. I then moved to Boston, MA, and worked at the Christian Science Publishing Society as a printer for several years. After this department was outsourced, I worked with a small printing company for a short time.
I explored different avenues, trying to break into the computer industry by taking a two-year degree course. I also worked different temp jobs before deciding to be a stay-at-home Dad for my Special Needs daughter. I continued to try to find another career path, taking some writing courses.
Eventually, I started on this book, "The Box and My Trouble Getting It". With help and support from my loving wife, Marilyn, it eventually was published. I am still looking for story ideas for my next publication.

MICHAEL'S PLACE by Gerald Myers
Michael's Place is a coming-of-age tale where innocence meets corruption, safety confronts peril, and friendship copes with betrayal. It is the story of two adolescents from different worlds who meet and bond, only to have their connection severed by jealousy, deceit, and perfidy. It is only while reconnecting during adulthood that they have an opportunity to rediscover the trust and affection that had once characterized their unique relationship. The work has also been crafted into stirring screenplay by Missouri native Jerry Rapp, entitled Not by Blood.
Gerald Myers, a Philadelphia native who, after practicing clinical cardiology in Pittsburgh, Pa for over 20 years, at the start of the new millennium, heeded the call of the Rocky Mountains and relocated to the Vail Valley in Colorado.

But this past friend offered new surprises about his life now--the first being that he had a family and a sister who eventually became involved with Terrence Allen in a relationship he adamantly objected.
But after a period of time, Veronica became missing. The police were called in and began an investigation concerning her disappearance. Afterward, Terrence Allen had a reunion with his ex-girlfriend after being interviewed by two detectives named Kelly and Micelle. But not before one of the detectives revealed to the other that he was having a relationship possibly with the same woman. However, her name was different, which he recognized from a picture of her submitted to them for identification from her mother.
Upon a visit to see his ex-girlfriend, she revealed to Terrence a horrifying secret about Veronica--the missing sister that rocked his world--which would possibly cause him to expose a life-changing secret that he was concealing from everyone.

After college and many years of employment at various jobs. Garrison continued to pursue a career in writing, which eventually led to his first publication of "Let's Pay Death Off".

BETH'S SONG by William Gabriel
On Destrire, a far-flung planet at the edge of the Humanity’s galactic empire, a sleepy little colony is slowly being forgotten by its imperial guardians. Life on the colony continues, as the human colonials and their new alien neighbors find ways to build a peaceful home for all. But trouble brews on the other side of the continent, thanks to a secret, centuries-old program to form a covert prison on Destrire. There, unknown by the colonists, the empire has an established a dumping ground for political prisoners. Stripped of the basic necessities, the prisoners have evolved into a barbaric frontier civilization, eager for ways to improve their quality of life—at any cost. And now that the prisoners know the location of the thriving colony, plans are made to make its resources their own. The prisoners begin a brutal series of raids on the colony, and life will never be the same. Caught in the conflict are one church-going human family and their alien friend. In a desperate attempt to reunite with her family, one woman must turn to her alien friend for support. Equally torn by the recent exposure to the horrors that humanity willingly unleashes upon its own, the aliens must now make a choice. Will this intergalactic culture clash strain existing relationships and loyalties to the breaking point? Will the brutality of the prisoners’ attacks finally crush the faith and culture of the sparsely populated colony? And in the end, can the family survive—even in victory?

WOMEN IN WARS OF THE FUTURE by William Gabriel
Four centuries from now mankind will have expanded into the Solar System with the most adventurous and capable of society. Our world of twelve billion people will have their best and brightest reach for the planets. By this time nearly two million people will live and develop the colonies of outer space. An Earth bound power has built their first warship to ply the planets and establish hegemony where ever they travel. Earth bound politics rears its ugly head in interplanetary conflicts between this rising power and the more established national powers in space.
Into this maelstrom three heroines must face off against this new menace launched from Earth. The planetary system is self sufficient, yet very fragile when confronted by military might. As civilians caught in the crossfire of political infighting, they must use all their wits and abilities to survive the presence of that warship’s maiden voyage. These women prove their metal in the high stakes game of military confrontation and intrigue. Theirs is a world of mercantile uplift while they must now face the forceful onslaught of this new space power.
Most technologies portrayed within this work are already developed or on the drawing board and will be part of mankind’s future in space. Only a couple are not yet within our grasp, yet would be stepping stones to interstellar travel at faster than light. The three heroines each are well versed in survival in space and have carved out their own entrepreneurial niche to gain wealth and return to Earth with millions in today’s currency. The planets hold near infinite wealth to be exploited in the 25th century. This is the new world in which they live.

TWENTY FIRST CENTURY CRUSADER by William Gabriel
What most people need to understand is that the Holy Land was in military occupation by the Romans during Christ’s time. Not far from where he grew up had been a town of about 10,000 inhabitants that threw out the tax collectors, much like what happened in Falujah. The Romans responded by sending in the legion and killing every mature man, not just those that hurt the tax collectors. They then sold all women and children into slavery.
So it was his teachings to tell us how to live under occupation. I lead off with the Beatitudes because of this, and then go into present day tools on how to engender peaceful resolution of situations involving conflict. I have put forth the basic building blocks of activities and messaging that can bring a society towards tranquility. As a Special Forces soldier I learned how important that cultural peace was needed for a vibrant society. For thirty years I have been developing the tools of ‘Psychodynamics’ represented in Asimov’s Foundation series. This work delves into the mechanics of creating a peaceful, more prosperous society. Questions of how many peacekeepers, messaging, developing culturally effective tools, and social dynamics of these differing cultures are addressed. All these facets must be organized and readied before an invasion occurs so as to have an ‘exit strategy’.
Also in this work are the repercussions and calculations of social change due to migration, natural disasters, and nation state competition. New applications of the Cognitive Therapy model are developed to get into the mindset of the people of a culture. How to guide them into a more interactive element in the global environment. This is not the psychology of an individual, but of cultural movements. How did the internet take off so suddenly, or why did the economic bottom fall out from a nation’s economy? The fact that societies are more prosperous when all elements (men, women, etc.) of society compete on equal footing in the job market. How do insurgencies develop? Will the subculture compete economically or pick up the rifle and fight? All these are psychodynamic questions and this work presents the building blocks to form and understand these things.
So I ask you to read past the first chapter and start on the second if you are not into the Bible. This work is designed for all people so that they can formulate an effective campaign to bring about the social change they want. The first chapter shows that classical Rome was not easy to live under, much like any occupation. The second through to the end gives modern day tools to develop your own psychodynamic plan. It is in the format of an easy to read textbook. I hope and pray that it gives you insight into the opportunities that psychodynamic theory presents.https://books.gotopublish.com/product/twenty-first-century-crusader/
PERSPECTUS
Soul Seeker: Reflections on a Spiritual Journey from Darkness to the Light by Perspectus
A 2020 International Book Awards’ winning finalist in the spiritualism category, Soul Seeker: Reflections on a Spiritual Journey from Darkness to the Light, shares the author’s reflections on his true story from constant pain and suicidal thoughts to healing, redemption, and spirituality.
The author’s reflections, shared through his prose, poetry and photography, begin with him trapped in a deep depression, resulting from a five-year battle with constant pain from an autoimmune disorder. Feeling hopeless and powerless, he hits the “darkest night of his soul” and decides to end his life. But this book is not about suicide, but rather, redemption.
It begins with an awakening, visionary experience that leads to his healing and fills him with a permanent sense of well-being and an appreciation for life and living happily in the light. But in the end, he is confronted and tested with the moral dilemma of the shocking results of a half-century-old murder case. It dramatically reinforces the importance of not backsliding into the “dark night of his soul” and the belief “that without darkness, we will never find or know the true value of the light.” This story transcends one man’s journey to spiritual awakening and connection to a Higher Power and includes such things as mindfulness, meditation, spirituality, the soul, purpose and faith, messages of Mother Earth, love, truth, peace, blessings and sorrows, enlightenment, and very much more.
The book also serves as an inspirational guide for others seeking their purpose in life and the meaning to existence. With clear language, well-explained concepts, this work is agile, easy to read, and full of wisdom from spiritual and metaphysical thinkers of the past two centuries. Perspectus’ reflections look at: humanity’s connection to the consciousness, energy, power, and matter in the universe; that each of our souls make up an even larger godlike consciousness or soul that is and always will be; the presence of a Higher Power within and outside of each of us; the existence of an eternal source of love, compassion, and redemption; and to never give up hope. Proceeds from the profits of this book will be used to fund a college scholarship program for economically disadvantaged students to shine eternal light on a good man struck down by the darkness of another.
PERSPECTUS is the pen name of a veteran international communication and public relations professional, with nearly 50 years' experience, who currently resides in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. In addition, he is a published journalist, author, poet, blogger and cartoonist. He maintains a sense of anonymity, so he can be candid and sincere in sharing his perspective on the spiritual journey he has undertaken in the hope that in some small way his reflections might help others.

HIS GRACE FOUND ME: FINDING FREEDOM IN CHRIST by Leona Koehn Nichols
What happens when the only culture and lifestyle you've ever known is removed and you must depend totally on Jesus to make the many decisions involved in living life and raising your children? Living in a modern world with which they were unfamiliar, these are the challenges faced by the authors of His Grace Found Me. In her story, Leona Koehn Nichols continues the events begun in her first book, Other Loves All Flee, which recounts the conflict in the hearts of her and her husband as they tried to live out their understanding of the Bible. It would culminate with the excommunication of the four family members baptized into the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite). They struggled for nineteen months with one question: Would they continue as part of their unique culture and faithfully follow the traditions of the church, or would they make Jesus the Lord of their lives? Having been raised in an ultra-conservative environment they had little concept of how the "outside world" lived. Included in this book are the stories of five other ex-Holdeman families, also reluctant to leave the life they knew. Faced with decisions of how to live their lives and raise their children without the clearly defined guidelines of the church, they searched the Scriptures for help in the various choices they would make. They too met many challenges, but over time each family has come to a place of joy in living out their faith. These families are: The Ray Eck Family The Anthony Toews Family The Quentin Giesbrecht Family The Lance Dirks Family The Jim Smith Family Truly, the grace of God reached down and found them, guiding their steps in "the new and living way" described in the Book of Hebrews. They have found their "freedom in Christ."

PROFESSIONALIZING STRATEGIC SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS: INTRODUCING THE CCIM THREE-LEG STOOL by Dr. Terrence L. Farrier, PhD
Common change management efforts fail! Senior and middle-managers, who attempt to change their organizations, are offered a glut of analysis techniques that only provide short-term solutions. Many of those analysis techniques express they supply the panacea of business solutions to both companies and organizations. They can’t. Short-term solutions will not provide the required processes that tie into the organizational policy, the integrated follow-on processes, and later procedures without connecting management decisions throughout the whole of the enterprise.
Unless those independent analysis tools offered affect continuous improvement and become part of the culture, focused toward a concerted effort, the resources used are most often wasted as they fail to bring the results intended or needed. Unless companies learn how to customize change and continuous improvement for their industries, and in their individual environments, they are doomed to continually wrestle with their resources in their efforts to engage solutions that are critical to long-term and competitive successes.
Professionalizing Strategic Systems Management for Business and Organization Success – Introducing the Change and Continuous Improvement Management Three-Leg Stool is a viable option to both the training and adoption of a continuous improvement culture in companies and organizations, whether they are civilian, civic-governmental, or military, it is imperative to business operations sustainment. With little doubt it will also highlight the importance of the segmented unit’s worth within a myriad of business organizations.
The focus of this book is to help senior and middle-managers overcome training and operational stagnation in their businesses and organizations. Further, it provides business college trainers, their deans and their professors the opportunity to help train business students using a broader and more integrated scope by the time they leave academia and enter their respective professions. Here more advanced and integrated business management and continuous improvement systems are explained. Your future awaits!
As a business consultant since 1992, Dr. Farrier has worked with small and medium sized companies to better integrate and help them increase their profits. He explains that all businesses are different even if they appear the same. Their customer base, location, environments, competition and so on affect the overall business in ways that are not immediately noticeable.
He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Management Decision Sciences from Walden University in 2017 while acting as an adviser and consultant to both civilian and military groups. He earned his Master's in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College in 2005, and Master's in Business Administration from Regis University in 2001. He also earned a BS/BA in Human Resources and Marketing Management from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in 1989. He had a long military career and acted in support of think tanks for the US Army Reserves. Some of his overseas positions included duties as the Transition Officer for Logistics Battalions and Brigades in Europe in 2004. His military career also encompassed duties as part of the Command Advisor Group for U.S. Joint Forces Command as the Personnel Support and Enterprise Transition Officer from 2005 to 2007. His civilian capacities overseas were to support the II MEF (Fwd) Regional Command's (RC) C-3 Operations as the Tactical IT Systems Administrator in 2011.
He sees his primary skill as an organizer, trainer, facilitator, and integrator of systems management that promotes both skill and pride for those in management roles.
A lover of nature, dogs, and even humans. He believes that you must learn to love people, even if you have to learn to love some at a distance.

A PLACE LIKE THIS: FINDING MYSELF IN A CAPE COD COTTAGE by Sally W. Buffington
Summers on The Cape in A Place Like This
When newly engaged Sally Buffington is introduced to Craigville, she meets an expansive Cape Cod cottage that is virtually a family member itself. She quickly finds herself competing for airtime among the talkative, assured band of brothers and her new mother-in-law-the cottage's lively and confounding matriarch.
Sally, a Cape Cod local, soon wonders how she'll ever maintain her independence, let alone her sense of self when the day's agenda and every detail is already set in stone. But, she navigates her new life with quiet persistence and a boundless curiosity that guides her to explore life through the creative lens of her camera and her pen.
Sally writes with a whimsical candor that is both honest and humorous. Through poetic prose and heart-felt reflection, A Place Like This reveals the beauty of Cape Cod and shows us that sometimes the simplest of moments bring us the most lasting joy.
Sally Buffington is a writer, photographer, and classically trained musician. From her home in southern California, she migrates back to native ground in Massachusetts— especially her spiritual homeland of Cape Cod. Writing lyrically and imaginatively, ever aware of sensory experience and memory, Buffington takes the reader into her thoughts wherever she finds herself.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY: HOW ENERGY TAPPING TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE'S WORST EXPERIENCES - A PRIMER FOR POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH by Caroline Sakai, Ph.D.
In the gut-wrenching stories of patients told by psychologist Dr. Caroline Sakai in this riveting book, you'll see the full range of human misery. Stories range from that of Josh, suicidal after fighting depression for years to Angelique, whose entire village was slaughtered during the Rwandan genocide. Yet both Josh and Angelique, as well as two dozen others whose cases are told in fascinating detail, recovered completely.
The remarkable cure that worked so well for them is called Thought Field Therapy or TFT. It's often called "tapping" since it involves tapping with the fingertips on acupuncture points. A recent group of studies has shown that TFT is phenomenally effective at treating the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, as well as anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
Dr. Sakai has conducted much research into TFT, including several randomized controlled trials. She provides an expert introduction to tapping for beginners, as well as concluding with a section that shows professionals how to get the best results from TFT. It shows how TFT can promote post traumatic growth, the personal transformation that can result from traumatic experiences. It also shows how TFT can be used to promote resilience, the qualities that enable us to recover from life's inevitable challenges.
Caroline E. Sakai, PhD is a clinical psychologist in private practice, who was formerly chief psychologist at Kaiser Hawaii Behavioral Health Services. She’s deployed on trauma relief missions to New Orleans and Rwanda. She has published articles on Thought Field Therapy, EMDR, and domestic violence, and her book Overcoming Adversity: How Energy Tapping Transforms Your Life’s Worst Experiences—A Primer for Posttraumatic Growth.

THE MAGIC STONES by Grandma Nor
Molly and Pete go in search of a cave their fathers had often spoken of but had not been able to find. They find the cave their way to a second cave in which they see a very dark pond and large flowers all around that seem to glitter and within the flowers tiny fairies sleep.
Born n' raised in Norway and immigrated to the USA in 1959.
Worked my way up the ladder from dishwasher to chef and master baker with some schooling as fine-tuning and retired after 44 years. Thinking retirement was boring, I turned to my favorite hobby writing. Every time I wrote letters, they became 'book editions' I was told! I enrolled in a course in learning how to write books and chose children's literature then set out to write. I didn't want to write 'every day' stories so I chose 'tales' from my childhood and stories my grandmother had told to me. They tell of trolls, dragons, fairies and other magic creatures. Both books have a moral written into the pages. Children in this country are taught to believe that trolls are evil... ask me and I will tell what I was taught.

SEVEN: A STORY OF THINGS TO COME by Alice Johnson Childs
When the impossible to believe becomes impossible to ignore...The instant when the beginning of the end finally happened, the world at large was unprepared to face the aftermath of the event that heralded it. In a small remote mountain town tucked away in
the hills of North Carolina, a band of friends must now face what will be the last seven years of human history. The choices they make will determine their ultimate destiny.
“The three of us laid down in beds that were not our own in a place that was not our home in a world that in the blink of an eye has become dark and foreboding. Despite our uncertainties, we laid down to sleep at peace, closer to each other than ever before. We didn’t yet know much about what we would soon be facing, but we closed our eyes that night knowing that from here on out whatever surprises or horrors we would face...good or bad, easy or hard, live or die, we now belonged to God’s family. We were now Tribulation Brothers.”
“Now the Rubicon so to speak, has been irrevocably crossed. The Tribulation has begun. The countdown has started. The span of our lives and of this world is now set. The number of years this world has left - seven.”
Raised in the Piedmont region of South Carolina, Alice Johnson Childs has dreamed of being a writer since childhood. Mother to her children Kristen and Mitch, and grandmother of five, she has been published in Rapture Ready, and Prophecy Update among other Christian websites. She lives at home with her husband, David, three dogs (Orson, Luna, and Jett), and a mute feline (Flower Cat). Legally blind, she writes all of her material on her cell phone, from a rocking chair on the front porch or in her living room. Her upcoming projects include a compilation of poems and prose, and a collection of Christian articles. On the side, she writes many amusing stories for each of her grandchildren.

PROGRESSIVISM: OUR ROAD TO SERFDOM: ARISE AMERICA: REBUILD YOUR GOD-GIVEN CAPITALIST FOUNDATIONS by Zester and Marilyn Hatfield
Is the American dream really dead? What really makes the different between a "have" and a "have not"? In Progressivism: Our Road to Serfdom, authors Zester and Marilyn Hatfield examine these questions and others in light of the historic realities of who we are, where we have come from, and where we are going in relation to wages, job security, full employment, personal wealth accumulation, and personal freedoms.
The Hatfields discuss the causes and history behind the current failing economy and present a step-by-step understanding of how to rebuild our God-given capitalist foundations with greater success. It takes a candid look at how new wealth is created by current and advancing technologies. Moreover, it reveals the secrets and the inner workings of progressive socialism-the political and ideological barrier that stands between those who love America and the republic's limited form of government.
Progressivism: Our Road to Serfdom presents a fascinating story of how wealth is created and its effect on all Americans-wage earners, small business owners, and equity owners both large and small. It demonstrates how the Constitution gives all Americans the unalienable right to prosper from their own labor and capital possessions.
Zester Hatfield is a practicing financial consultant and holds licenses in real estate, insurance, and securities.
Marilyn J. Hatfield is a practicing tax and financial advisor, author, and business manager. She holds licenses in accounting, tax preparation, securities, and insurance. They have six children and twenty-four grandchildren.

UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER by Ernie Moulton
Sheila Mictackic had gone missing one afternoon when she was elevenand had not been seen again. Her brother, George, had told when she went to school that morning that if anything happened to her, he would not stop looking for her until Hell freezes over.
He found her 25 years later, a prisoner of the gang he was pursuing. He restored her health and beauty, but she could not tell him what had happened to her or where she had been all that time. He called his team together and they began to open her memories. A man had abducted her and put her into the white slave trade. He determined to find that man if he still lived. To do so, he formed a team of four eleven-year-old girls willing to go on the internet and talk to anyone. They did not have to invite pedophiles-just being there would attract the men he wanted to put out of business, and perhaps find the one man in particular that he wanted.
Ernie Moulton was born near Tampa, Florida and grew up in Florida. He published his first stories in the school newspaper while in the fifth grade, and has continued writing stories. His extensive travels while in the Navy and later while working for the Army bring life to his scenarios and characterizations. He now lives and writes in Crestwood, Kentucky.

THINK LIKE A MOLECULE: SEEKING INSPIRATION IN THE STRUCTURES OF THOUGHT by Chuck Champlin
Despite their complex structures, molecules most likely do not take time to ponder the ways they fit into the big scheme of things. But when zillions of molecules combine into organized, functional systems, we get everything including you and me and some seven or eight billion others. It’s likely that after the big Bang, matter came together, all on its own, to create life and thinking minds. Now our minds, built from “accidental” creativity, can intentionally assemble marvelous new things. Using a star-burst-shaped “twinkle” as a visual symbol of a “molecule of thought,” our life-changing and world- changing ideas come one step closer to physical reality.
Chuck Champlin studied literature and architecture at UC Berkeley, then worked in journalism (editor/writer at LA Times) and at the Walt Disney Company’s Imagineering unit, where he helped manage a global Children’s Summit at Disneyland Paris in the 1990’s. The twinkle-shaped “molecule of meaning” is inspired by the idea of Disney “pixie dust,” representing moments of inspiration, “magic” and insight. The twinkle can also can stand for a “needed solution,” such as the idea of “X” representing the answer looked for in an algebraic equation.

LIVING THE MIRACLES: A SAILOR'S LIFE IN THE NUCLEAR POWER AGE by Albert Lee Kelln
Al Kelln's twenty-seven miracles will inspire the reader. The son of German speaking immigrants left the aftermath of the Depression in Oklahoma to become a Naval officer and nuclear propulsion engineer.
His years at U.S. Naval Academy (class of 1952) prepared him for destroyer and diesel submarine deployments to the Korean War. Surviving several close calls, the author trained in Admiral Rickover's Nuclear Power School.
Early exploratory voyages under the ice to the Arctic Ocean on nuclear submarine USS Skate allowed him to be the first person to have flown over, stood at, and gone under the ice at the North Pole.
Kelln served in the construction and subsequent operation of four nuclear submarines. Admiral Rickover made him the Chief Engineer of Aircraft Carrier Enterprise CVAN for its operations in the Mediterranean, its circumnavigation of the world, and shipyard overhaul.
With humor, the author shares poignant meetings with John Eisenhower, the Queen of Greece, and ruffians at Holy Loch, Scotland.
After retirement, Admiral Kelln founded the Naval Submarine League and several Christian endeavors, including a Pregnancy Center. He and his wife, Cecily, live in Llano, Texas and continue their teaching ministries.

BECOMING THE ADMIRAL'S WIFE: A DUAL MEMOIR OF A CALLED PAIR by Cecily Watson Kelln
In this confessional memoir, Cecily Watson Kelln leaves the comforts of her childhood "Cackleberry Farm" to face womanhood fraught with struggles to find love and security. Divorce, rejection, and despair try to knock her down. But her mother's exemplary Christian faith keeps her full of hope.
This true story involves travel and adventures, such as the Peace Corps, cold winter in a tent, and a psychedelic baptism. Becoming the Admiral's Wife is a beautiful testimony of the author's search to know God, and how she eventually finds Him in several dramatic encounters with Jesus Christ. By God's mercy and grace, she ultimately meets the loving Christian man who becomes her husband. With inserted excerpts of his fast-track career in the early years of the nuclear Navy, the book illustrates the power of Christ-centered marriage and inspires readers to patiently trust in God's divine plan for their own lives.
Cecily Watson Kelln was raised in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, to be a proper debutante. However after college and Peace Corps (Peru), Cecily flung herself into the culture of the 1970s and accrued momentum for enough failed marriages to create a juicy memoir. But while on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, the Hound of Heaven, Jesus Christ Himself, culminated His dogged pursuit of her until she fell prostrate before Him to accept Him as her Lord and Savior.
Over the years, Cecily became a student of the Bible. Finally content to be single, Cecily moved to rural Virginia to care for her widowed mother. In an unexpected encounter, Cecily was introduced to her "new best friend," a retired Navy Admiral. They met at a square dance class. They courted and were united a year later in a Christian marriage. Her life story memoir had a new, happy set of chapters with plenty of innovative endeavors as the couple got involved in Christian ministries and moved steadily westward from Virginia.
Cecily has three grown children and eight grandchildren. She and her husband, Albert Lee Kelln, also the author of his own memoir, "Living the MIRACLES: A Sailor's Life in the Nuclear Power Age," live on a little farm with animals, water tanks, and solar panels in the Texas Hill Country.

THE LIFE AND STORY OF ONE-EYED JOE ED SMITH: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Joe Edward Smith
I am writing this book to tell the story of a kid from Everett who joined the Army in the early 1960s and served in Korea, Asia, and West Germany. As a young man, I believed then as I do now about service above self. I hope that this story will be meaningful to the reader. I am inspired by my experiences with the Army; the US Postal Service; the Franklin Institute of Boston; the University of Lowell; the Massachusetts Department of Public Works; Saint Michael Parish; the town of North Andover, Massachusetts; and numerous other institutions. I've had my share of life's ups and downs, but the downs have been few, so I guess you can say I've been lucky and will add that it's all because of you, the people I have known. As I write this, my life's story, between each line of pain and glory, I want you to know: the town of North Andover-you are the best thing that ever happened to me!
