Does this world have you stressed out right now? Are you looking for some answers, some peace in your life? Are you stuck in some bondage to your past or locked in addiction or destructive behavior? If you are an honest seeker and are open to finding victory and the pathway to the meaning of life, then take a chance on what I am offering you here. I am offering some truth you may not have heard before (i.e., a non-organized religion perspective of God) that is helping thousands gain significance and purpose and find victory in life over fear, despair, abuse, and addictions. It may surprise you to hear that Jesus hated religion. He spoke out against it and the powerful religious leaders, and they plotted to murder Him for it. He wants a relationship with you.This perspective is based on relationship rather than religion because they are vastly different. You may say you have faith. I would ask you, faith in what? Maybe you are religious or spiritual. You may be a Christ follower but are frustrated by your inability to conquer stubborn areas of your life or overcome issues that keep you from experiencing the intimate relationship with God you desire. Come with me and follow me on my journey down this road to victory and freedom."It was for freedom that Christ has set us free."

"I told you I wanted her!"I stepped closer to Blake, who automatically put a protective arm around my waist and hustled me into the car. I strapped the car seat into the middle of the back seat while Blake hurried to the driver's seat and started the ignition. The other officers hung back. The blond one was yelling into the darkness."Why don't you come out and we'll talk?" he suggested.A red dot appeared on the chest of the blond officer, but before I could yell, a blast went off, and the officer crumpled to the ground. I cried out as the second officer dove behind another squad car, firing shots in the direction of the crazed murderer. The squad car became a pincushion for bullets as they riddled the metal.Camilla Robbins lives a quiet life in a cozy neighborhood with her husband and four-month-old baby. The last thing she ever expects is to become a witness to a double homicide while out hiking on a beautiful autumn day. Suddenly, her life and the lives of her family are turned upside down as the killer finds out who she is and where she lives. Camilla is forced to flee, and with the help of a law enforcement officer Blake Townsend, they try to piece together why the two hikers were murdered, who the killer is, and most importantly, what his next moves will be. Camilla and Blake become the mice in a deadly game of cat and mouse, and they find out just how insanely resourceful and dangerous one man can be.

There were many that came out of sheer disbelief. Are you kidding me? one thought. "I didn't have a clue," another said. How and when did this transformation take place was the main question. They looked but did not see; they asked and received more than they could handle. After everything was said and done, not one of them really knew her.She stood there as if frozen in time. Looking out into the crowd of so many people she knew blew her mind. Some of them she would never forget, and others, she spent many hours of therapy trying to forget."Oh God, my Lord and savior, thank You for absolutely everything. I am so amazed by Your grace, mercy, and unexplainable love toward me. If this is a dream, please don't wake me up."

With my first children's book, Little Children We Are, published, this is my second children's book inspired by a valentine date with a college girlfriend after going back to my dorm room. Originally, the title was The Little Rose. I later rented from a young couple born to them a little girl named Carrie Rose who would call me Uncle Lenny. I decided to add a little girl's name, Carrie, and the story then became a story of Carrie having her mother tell her the story of The Little Rose. Hence, the title Carrie and the Little Rose.I sat on the manuscript for years, thinking that it may be just a writing for children until I saw artwork. After seeing artwork from the illustrator, Beth Clingan, who her and her now husband, Mark, were college best friends to me. I decided to commission her to illustrate as a book in colored pencil to which she proved it excellently. Although this book is about a little girl and a rose, it is for girls and boys as the moral of the book is to be the best person you were purposed to be, even if everyone doesn't seem to notice.

Through It All, I Learned is a book written to relate the effect on a child (or children) of an alcoholic parent. The author tells of experiences in her life and the lessons she learned along the way. The book touches on neglect and abuse. It also tells of the life of being adopted, but through it all, and by God's grace and mercy, it's a story of how all can be overcome. God breaks the cycle of alcoholism. He gives a successful, abundant life. The words of the song "Through It All" by Andre Crouch sums it up: "I've had many tears and sorrows, I've had questions for tomorrow, there's been times I didn't know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave me blessed consolation, that my trials came to only make me strong. Through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God."

Many people have undertaken time to draw up an account of wage discrimination against women that has taken place in the labor market and among us. Wage discrimination and wage differences have been handed down to us by those who, from the beginning, were firsthand eyewitnesses.Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated and researched the causes, effects, and impact of wage discrimination against women, it seemed to be good to write an orderly account and hand it to you and the future generations so that you and the future generations can also read and understand the roots of wage discrimination between men and women.

Prove It: A Climate Revelation for People Just like You! presents a readable, nontechnical explanation of what does and does not cause "climate change." The conclusions are new to the climate debate, they are demonstrably proven, and they convey the feeling of comfort that follows naturally from plain spoken truth. The book's theme, "Climate cycles, not climate change," is supported by proven science in many disciplines. Because highly relevant proven facts are being widely ignored, there is a need for understanding by the "people" of all the facts before prudent policy can be set.The book directly challenges the prevailing "settled science" of climate theories in the United States, which is demonstrably incorrect. If left unchallenged, these theories will cause economic and psychological damage to many people for many years to come. Short chapters in the book are devoted to what is in fact very complex science (e.g., photosynthesis, changes in the earth's orbit about the sun, and the critical importance of CO2 in the oceans and atmosphere to sustain life on earth). The perhaps surprising definition of fossil fuels as "stored solar energy" is directly related to the documented decline of atmospheric CO2 content over the last 500 million years. We present a hypothesis as to why this decline in CO2 is happening.There is a playful tone; for example, CO2 is introduced with the metaphor of Beauty and the Beast, with CO2, the source of life, widely feared as the Beast embodiment of the evils of industrialization! The story is child-friendly, definitely not nightmare material.In summary, the ultimate aim of this book is to inform and teach, and the ultimate audience is the students of present and future generations.

This book was written in the hopes of strengthening the faith of believers and of presenting strong evidence to nonbelievers of the veracity of the Scriptures.Over and over again, the Bible has come under attack, only to be vindicated. And over and over again, professing atheists have become strong believers in God after doing research, with the very purpose of disproving the Scriptures.I believe there is overwhelming evidence from various fields of study to support Christian beliefs.This book could be valuable in helping teachers to address areas of doubt that students may have regarding the Scriptures. The chapters could be used as individual lessons.For nonbelievers, the gospel message is for us to realize that we are sinners in need of a Savior and that Jesus, the sinless Son of God, provided the perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins on the cross. By acknowledging this to God, we are saved by grace.The story of the prodigal son is a well-known Bible story. Really, it is much more the story of the father than of the son. It shows that if we repent and come to God, he will run to meet us with open arms.Instead of seeing God as someone with a spindly finger shaking at you, I hope you will realize his great love for you and come to him. He is just a prayer away.We are all left with our own choice to make. I hope you choose Jesus.

So whatever you do in life, you will do well, choose well, and love well!In the beginning, before we were born in human form, we were spirit beings, and before we were spirit beings, we were intelligences. So I wanted to share who you are with you. So in fiction form and with much anticipation, I bring you up to heaven to the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother as they begin their journey to find you.

This book of short stories is for the enjoyment of the child who hears or reads each story. Although these stories, of course, are fictional, the cats named in each story are or have been a real family cat at one time or another. And when the reader reads with enthusiasm, suspense, and laughter, the child will become engaged and will want to hear it over and over again, which instills in the child the good behavior implied in each story.The moral or good behavior in each story suggests a Christian character followed by a scripture that applies to that characteristic, such as being kind, loving others that may be different, not being a bully, and acknowledging and being thankful for the gifts and protection that God has given each of us. This is also an opportunity for the reader to interact more with the child in the teaching of these characteristics, which will ultimately and hopefully become a vital part of their lives as children and adults.At the end of each story, there is a short biography of the real cat and the true facts that are written within the context of the story. Also, at the end of the book are a few pictures of each cat in real life.

The story of the Liberian civil war may have fizzled out of the minds of those who were old enough to read about it or watch it on television. It was one of the many recorded atrocities of the twenty-first century when humans turned on themselves for no reason other than the vain pursuit of power. To the author, it was a period of loss, pain, anguish, disease, starvation, and a life of uncertainty. This memoir gives an account of how the author and his sister lost their parents in the civil war and survived under inexplicable circumstances when adults fully capable of fending for themselves did not. It simply shows that the strong hand of God keeps those who are helpless and shows up for them in ways and places that are beyond human explanations. You need to read this book to know how helpless humans are without the help of God. When left to our own devices, we will go to whatever extent to unleash pain and suffering on our fellow humans to get and keep power.

This is the second book in the series Embracing Differences. The author's goal in writing the series is for readers to embrace the uniqueness of individual differences. The series has a theme: together, we can be different and still belong! In the first book, Being Charley: Embracing Differences, Charley and his four siblings, all very different from one another, are introduced to the reader. Charley was unlike his siblings: Charley has autism. Being Gus: Embracing Differences is about the oldest sibling and Charley's big brother. Gus enjoys sharing life with Charley and his friends and being Charley's caregiver, confidante, and especially, his big brother. If you are interested in reading the first book of the series, Being Charley: Embracing Differences, you can find it on Amazon here. Thanks for reading about Gus! If you enjoyed this book, I would be very grateful if you would post a short review on Amazon. Your support really does make a difference, and I read all the reviews.If you want to learn more about Charley and Gus, visit my social media pages at Instagram @wearecharley and Facebook Being Charley: Embracing Differences.

ADAM SMITH was a Scottish philosopher who developed a theory of government that would promote his free market capitalistic ideas. This system, if followed carefully would create the wealthiest and most successful country ever. His book called The Wealth of Nations, which described his proposed system, was published in 1776. Our founding fathers read and studied his writings over the next ten to twelve years, melded it with our Declaration of Independence and produced our constitution. Alexander Hamilton, perhaps our most intelligent founding father, spent most of his years as Secretary of the Treasury under President Washington developing and implementing policies that would facilitate and promote Smith's ideas. Over the next 125 years our country closely followed Smith's teachings and we did become the richest most powerful country the world had ever seen. This treatise examines the lives of the presidents, giving insight into what in their formative years helped shape their philosophy of leadership. It also addresses how well they followed Smith's teachings while in office. Since 1913, we have had four significant turns away from Smith's guidance, which have cost us much blood and treasure. The last turn began in 1988, and we are still dealing with its ill effects.This is a concise history of the United States as seen through the lens of the lives and times of the presidents. -GERALD DALTAN, Retired attorney, Fredericksburg, Virginia.The theme of the book seems to be that knowledge is power, which produces confidence and courage, which leads to good decisions on difficult issues. On the other hand lack of knowledge is weakness, which leads to fear and anxiety, which elicits poor decisions. The better prepared a president is before he enters office the better he will perform while in office. This work spells out what good preparation is all about! -ESTELLE BRRENTINE, Former teacher and coach, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.Some of the information revealed in this text may cause many readers to re-evaluate some of their favorite presidents. This treatise should be used as a guide for the selection of candidates for the office of President of the United States and other high level positions in the federal government. Educators of government should find this book to be an excellent resource. -CAROL MURRAY, Former educator, Fairfax County, Virginia.The excellent summary of the characteristics of the presidents as shown in the charts will hopefully encourage further investigation of the importance of history as related to the political choices we make. The charts will enable teachers to easily assign classroom activities such as debates and to encourage lively discussions, all relating to the results of the various categories. It may even spark renewed interest in the works of Adam Smith.-JUDY JEFFERSON, Former teacher, Cobb County, Georgia

This book was written with the hope that it will somehow enrich your life and give you hope for how your own life can be, no matter how bad it seems. Life always has its ups and downs, but we should never give up and lose all hope for the life we long to live. The most important thing is just to always be kind. Kindness is the most important trait anyone can have because it not only helps those you're treating with kindness, but it makes your own life better as well.

My first youth book, Aria, was fun to write, and this book is a continuation of Aria's journey as an angel of hope. This book is for a slightly older audience. It was interesting to research places of good and evil for this story. The demons got what they deserved! I am sure you approve. Free will is a gift from God, but he does allow us to make mistakes. Aria has me mesmerized. I hope you have enjoyed her! She may show up again with a new adventure. God bless your day.

Youth and coming of age in the latter half of the twentieth century offered countless challenges, exposures, and opportunities. For an African American female born and living in the South, challenges, exposures, and opportunities had a decidedly different perspective than the realities of White contemporaries. Understanding quite early that the playing field was far from level, finding ways to discover one's gifts and abilities, to have ones worth validated became a lifelong quest. And to learn that the validation of ones worth when personally discovered is a liberating reality.Meeting a litany of hurdles, some self-imposed and a great many incited by the indelible elements of the times, finding ways to circumvent and overcome challenges were integral necessities. Learning to see, absorb, and advance beyond obstacles became lifelong strategies, while finding strength and even joy in the ultimate process.My Amazing Journey: A Celebration of Seasons and Travelers Along the Way captures the impact that everyday individuals make helping to weave the tapestry of a single life. Gratefully, all along the way were balcony people making seismic contributions, often persons with no point of reference or hope for what could actually be attained. These contributors to activities and experiences that in themselves seemed inconsequential shaped a life to not just survive, but to thrive against the ceaseless barrage of insurmountable odds. In spite of the ever-present realities of injustice, inequity, and racism, hope burst through in unsuspecting ways again and again, daring failure to win.
