35When a tall, charismatic fireman waltzed into Barbara's office, her first instinct was to run--instead, he swept her off her feet, pulling her into a lifetime of crime, addiction, and abuse. Thus, the Counterfeit Legend was born. Told from the perspective of his stepdaughter Vicki, The Counterfeit Legend details the personal and family life of notorious Los Angeles bank robber John Jennings. Jennings did whatever it took to satisfy his compulsive need for attention, notoriety, and fame. As stepfather to young children, Jennings was cruel and abusive. He hid his double life as an armed bank robber by masking himself as a community hero. In 1963, Jennings managed his son's Pony League baseball team, leading his players to the Pony League World Series. The life he built for himself crashed to a halt when he was arrested for the robberies of thirteen Los Angeles banks, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The effect it left on his family members was lasting and fatal. Even still, Jennings continued to reinvent himself with lies and deception, destroying all that lay in his path in his search for the good life.

We are told in the Scriptures that God desires that we know Him more than He desires sacrifices (Hosea 6:6). The way to know God is through the study of His word, the Bible, and a personal relationship with Him through our acceptance of the salvation offered through His Son, Jesus. The primary goal of Created in the Image of God is for us to know God through studying the Trinity, the three-part structure of God, as presented in the Bible and comparing and contrasting the Trinity with the three-part structure of mankind, who is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26).Created in the Image of God attempts to bring forth relevant Scriptures as pertaining to the Trinity and the creation of mankind, as well as applicable thoughts of theological scholars as they pertain to this topic. Through the study of the trichotomic structure of mankind, we will see how mankind is able to relate to God, the meaning of regeneration at salvation, the distinction between the indwelling and the filling of the Holy Spirit, the root cause of addictive behaviors, the reason that mankind is above and different from the rest of the animal kingdom, and the purpose and cause of prevenient grace. Above all, the hope of Created in the Image of God is that it leads readers to know God more fully, so that we can love him more wholly.

After years of struggling with guilt and shame for being associated with a serial killer sitting on death row, a sister comes to grip with the fact that she and all family members of death row inmates are, indeed, victims as well. Although her brother was, indeed, guilty of his crimes and deserved to pay for the lives he took, society placed her into the same category as him and quickly labeled her guilty by association.Bringing public awareness to the loved ones of death row inmates is something that is frowned upon, and families are often warned by their lawyers not to do so, which leads to detrimental health issues for those family members. They are punished not only for being associated with the inmate but also for loving them and standing by their side despite the horrendous crime they committed.The death penalty brings about many more victims when an inmate is executed. Its grasp is so far-reaching, not only for the victims' families and inmates' families but also for so many others placed in a position they did not ask to be in but were so because of the crime our loved ones committed. The weight of carrying that pain as a result of what our loved one has done can sometimes become too much to bear, and because of that, we are not able to grieve the loss of someone we loved.It has been five years since her brother's execution, and although the healing process has been slow, by publicly sharing her journey with her brother, she hopes to help others begin their healing process as well.
