Everyone, young and old, has the dream of the perfect love - a dream of finding a true soulmate with whom to share life. Young people often have romantic thoughts crowding out the more mundane as they think about their future and long for a true love to appear in their lives. In this day and age, pure, true romance leading to that kind of love is rare. Society has become permissive, and many young people have found bitter disappointment, regret and guilt in their relationships. Broken homes and increased divorce rates have brought much heartache. The values stemming from faith in God have become almost non-existent. It is these values of true love, commitment, patience, self-control, and trust in God and His leading that can make for true happiness and long-lasting relationships. This book is a work of fiction that portrays these values in a clean and wholesome way through romance, suspense, changes in lifestyle, and unpredictable outcomes in the experiences of believable characters. The reader will be irresistibly drawn into the lives of the individuals in the book as they begin new chapters, overcome difficult and sad circumstances, and make life-altering decisions. Following the characters in the story on their exciting journey of romance, love and faith will both entertain and inspire the reader.

These words haunt me till this day. The emotional roller coaster of dealing with not knowing, what, where, or how I would make it through another day! Dead or Alive! Who's Adonis Marks?

"A gripping story of combat in WWII in France as seen through the eyes of Norm Thompson, an ordinary foot soldier. We are drawn into a view of the war that extends only to the range of Thompson's weapon. Cold and exhausted with no hot chow and the constant fear of the dreaded German artillery, he and others of the 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division valiantly defend their positions and ultimately defeat Hitler's last great offensive, Operation Nordwind. I highly recommend this book." --Brigadier General Paul Genereux (retired), Chairman, 42nd Rainbow Division Veteran's Foundation "Norman Thompson was an accomplished artist, both with paintbrushes and the written word. 'Kaltenhouse Remembered, ' now republished, recounts in chilling (January 1945) detail the shift southward of major units of the U.S. 7th Army from the Hatten-Rittershoffen battle sector to a new MLR (Main Line of Resistance) along the Moder River stretching from Haguenau to Kaltenhouse for the 242nd Regiment of the 42nd Rainbow Division. Norm's book vividly portrays the ordeals of the men of his rifle company (G Company, 242nd Infantry, 42nd Rainbow Division) during the 20 kilometer forced march from the Hatten-Rittershoffen area to the Moder River Line and Kaltenhouse, and the following victory against the enemy attack, Hitler's final major offensive in Western Europe. 'Kaltenhouse Remembered' is highly recommended for its authenticity and insight of a combat infantryman in battle." --Dee R. Eberhart, WWII Veteran, Co I, 242nd Infantry, 42nd Rainbow Division - Liberator, Dachau, 1945 First published in the 1980s, 'Kaltenhouse Remembered' is a factual account of the U.S. Army's 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division's operations in France during January 1945, where the Americans repulsed the final German offensive of the war on the Western Front. Written by infantryman Norm Thompson, the book provides a unique perspective on the battles that occurred at and in the vicinity of Kaltenhouse, France, that culminated with the American victory. The book also features an interview given by Thompson in 1995 that was not included in the original publication where Thompson describes in detail his part in the liberation of the Dachau-Allach concentration camps that occurred with the participation of the 42nd Infantry Division on April 29 and 30, 1945. This book is ideal for veterans, enthusiasts, and historians who will find this first-hand account of an astute observer a fascinating read that recounts one of the deadliest phases of WWII.

This book attempts to track the crinkum-crankum path that has been the hallmark of development in most Sub-Saharan countries since the Independence decade (1957-1967). The biggest misconception about Africa has always been treating the second largest land mass on the globe as one entity, with a monolithic culture. It couldn't be further from the truth. The author tries to steer the reader through an amalgam of issues that contributed to the diverging and meandering paths. The pioneers of African independence were every bit as brave and patriotic as those in other regions of the world. But they faced enormous odds against them while trying to wrest power from formidable oppressors whose armies they couldn't match. Despite many obstacles, they prevailed, and laid the course generations of their successors have followed since. Now, having secured these republics (if they can keep them), the bigger fight is to ensure that their people are well-fed, clothed, schooled, and kept in good health. This entails inclusive governance that guarantees that the lives of citizens are valued, resources are not squandered on oppressive instruments, or pilfered outside for the benefit of those who monopolize power. With vast natural and human resources yet to be harnessed, the African continent can push itself to a level that lifts its people out of nauseating poverty, allowing its leaders to proudly share a seat on the high table of development.

Harvey Chernosky began telling bedtime stories in the early 1970s with the idea of teaching his children lessons in life. His story of "The Rabbit and the Road" cautioned his son and daughter to avoid the busy road upon which they lived. It was only when his grandchildren began begging for bedtime stories that he expanded his repertoire to include tales about stuffed animals and eating candy. He continues to relate mini-adventures which delight the girls and delay the inevitable, "now go to sleep."

Things are not what they seem to be. If history repeats itself, then we may find out that what we perceive as reality today will be obsolete in the future. We no longer believe that the world is flat. We no longer worship the sun or the moon and the stars. We no longer worship the God of love or the God of war, the multiple gods. Most of us worship one God and there are 4,200 different ideas of who this God is and what He does. Everyone wants certainty. We want it to be the way we believe it is so we don't have to think about it. But, we live in an uncertain world. Should we embrace uncertainty? Should we take back control of our lives and be responsible for our own decisions? Are we stagnated and unable to move forward into a better life because of our beliefs? Maybe it is time for us to adapt to our new conscious mind, to think and analyze. There are so many possibilities that we can't even conceive of simply because we don't try. Are we all wrong and our future will not be anything like it is today? Join the author on his continuing journey to find himself in a lost and chaotic world. The only thing for certain is that we are uncertain and there will always be something more.
