Denny Goetz's poetry is a portrait of a man seeking answers in the face of failure, loss and mortality. While intimate and personal in detail, it is also universal in addressing the vagaries of life, love and death. He writes of the pain and heartbreak of love lost, as well as of the consolation and joy of love found. He celebrates the delights life offers us, despite the inevitability of change and an end to all things. Moving and splendidly accessible, it is poetry you may find yourself returning to again and again. Magpie is a generous gift. At too early an age, Denny Goetz experienced life's perils, personal and historic. This shaped neither a man of pessimism nor gloom, but one of decency and kindness; and though none of us is protected from sadness and illness, Denny's poems offer-up a bounty of courage, affection and tenderness. Take time with this collection, and just maybe, we all can learn to share his love. - Richard D. Pepperman, Author of "Illuminations, Memorable Movie Moments", Finalist for the 2011 Best Moving Image Book Award

"When you sat down with my family for the last meal before Sunday morning, you pretty much knew what was coming. Mother would walk toward us from the old cook stove armed in one hand with a large kettle and flourishing a ladle in the other. We waited in uneasy expectation. It was Saturday soup night and Mother had cleaned the refrigerator." So begins another collection of Polly Rogers Brown's memories of life from the early 1940's to the present, told in rich detail with warmth and humor. From first and fleeting love as a flat-chested, gawky girl to fifty-six years of marriage to her beloved Wayne, Polly paints her life in everyday shades which create a gentle canvas of warmth and joy. Just as her mother cleaned the old Frigidaire and made Saturday night soup with the leftovers, so has Polly cleaned the compartments of her mind, presenting the bits and pieces in a literary pot filled with the leftovers of her life, her own Saturday night soup.

"Keep your mouth shut, and nobody gets hurt."That's what Joe DaSilva told himself to survive three years as a prisoner of war in the Philippines. When he comes home, he finds that his best friend, Bill, is engaged to Peggy, the woman he loved since kindergarten-and the woman who rejected his marriage proposal before he enlisted in the Navy. To survive with his two best friends living the life he wanted at the end of his street, Joe adopts the mantra that served him well during the war, and walls himself off from his emotions and his friends. Until Leigh Ann and her daughter, Shelly, crash into his life and topple his carefully constructed defenses. This sets Joe on his reluctant journey toward acceptance and redemption. Memorial Day is a story of friendship, love, misunderstandings, and the life-long disruptions caused by war. It makes visible the lasting wounds that victims of unimaginable acts bear throughout their lives, and invites the silent ghosts of the lives we once imagined to make amends with the lives we have lived.

For some war is an inspiring, uplifting, and a liberating occurrence. Such is the case of Emil Dorfmeister. Abandon without a name to the St. Katherine Order in Posen, Dorfmeister received an excellent education but, because he was an orphan, no employment opportunities. He left the sisters' care at an early age to wander from one job to the next picking up experiences and, when working in the coal mines of Silesia, Russian as a second language. When the Great War started, he volunteered and fought for three years in the trenches of France gaining a new talent as a machine gun sharpshooter. But his real asset was in knowing Russian. He was culled from a pillbox crew and sent to Ukraine as part of an occupation force which had transcended its original purpose as a restorer of the Ukrainian government to a pillaging horde that indiscriminately seized Ukrainian food to ship back to Germany. Into his life came Tatianna Brendt, the daughter of German parents living along the Volga. Before the Revolution, Brendt had received an education at the Women's Institute in Kiev and found work with a legal firm in Kharkov. The Revolution destroyed the Tsarist legal system putting her out of a job but Brendt took an active part in furthering women's rights in the Bolshevik party. She was zealous and soon drew the envy and ridicule of those who were not comfortable with a woman having so much influence. She was forced out of her apartment due to rumors of promiscuous behaviors, fired from her job as an influencer, and relegated to living on the Kharkov streets with only the clothes on her back in February. Then an opportunity came her way. Because she could read and write Russian and German, the new secret police, the CHEKA, recruited her to spy for them in Ukraine. She was dressed up and left to find someone she could attach herself to among the German occupation force. She found that someone in Emil Dorfmeister. Warm, well-clothed, well fed, and safe, Brendt began her spying career with the help of Dorfmeister who had become fed-up with the ruthlessness of his superiors in looting Ukrainian resources. It soon came to pass that efforts to collect grain and other food supplies in his area of administration to send back to Germany came to naught and armed resistance to collection caravans increased. Before Dorfmeister's superiors could launch an investigation, the war ended and the Germans were forced to evacuate Ukraine. Dorfmeister's last acts as an administrator were to send Brendt north while he boarded a train to Germany. Brendt succeeded in gaining Bolshevik Russia but the part of the train that Dorfmeister was in was blown up by inept Bolshevik partisans. The train, relatively unharmed, continued its journey leaving Dorfmeister behind to either walk out of Russia or join the partisans to stay alive. He chose to use his skill as a machine gunner with the partisans. Brendt went on to spy on Leon Trotsky and the antirevolutionary General Wrangel for the CHEKA. Dorfmeister, in his turn, joined Wrangel's army after being captured and given a choice of join or be executed. Brendt and Dorfmeister came within a hair's breathe of meeting again and again. Brendt secretly contributed to Dorfmeister's recovery from wounds in Simferopol and nearly came to a reunion in Constantinople after the evacuation of Wrangel's army from the Crimea. Dorfmeister was never aware of who his benefactor was and as a result fled Constantinople to take a job of training the pan-Moslem army of Enver Pasha in Turkestan. The final acts of the story play out in Afghanistan and the new kingdom of Yugoslavia. Both paths are tainted by the past.

As much as Eugene Lawrance Webb's theology degree came in handy as he wrote The Meaning of Salvation, his dying in 2014 really helps this book also come to life. When he was momentarily dead, Webb witnessed God's radiance-and now, he wants to inspire and educate the reader about that brilliance, about all of God's amazing acts of love for humanity. Webb casts a fresh take on familiar scriptures so that readers can better understand the many end-time predictions in order to get right with God before it's too late.

What difference does a name make? We are least grebes. Would you like to be least men or least women or least Costa Ricans or least Americans? It is so derogatory and demeaning. We want to be black grebes or tiny grebes. Do you think those names would be just as bad? We think those merely describe our appearance, whereas least means less worthy than .... What matters to us is our character. That is what should matter to everyone. CHARACTER! Without good character we are nothing. We care for our families, feed our babies, teach them responsibility and how to live on their own. We do no harm to other creatures above water level. THE LEAST GREBES

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a model of economics that has gained more attention in recent years, likely because of its message that countries who create their own currency can never run out of money and will always be in a position to pay for any expenses. Such spending, MMT proponents allege, is not impaired by the inability to raise sufficient funds by taxes, and further, borrowing to pay for government spending provides no obstacles due to the ability of the government to create more money and support any required borrowing by the government. Critiques of MMT are often just based on an underlying belief that it "sounds wrong", or is an attempt to get "something for nothing". Many others who have attempted to understand this model have been left confused. As it turns out, the model of economics I presented in the book "Enlighten Capitalism: A Keynes Primer" allows, in my opinion, a thorough and objective analysis of the tenets of MMT. I focus on a few central concepts that I believe will allow the reader to understand what might be right, and what might be wrong in the MMT model, and make their own decisions about the wisdom of adopting their recommendations.

Back on February 3, 2019, I decided to write this book because I wanted to record descriptions of events and people that I had the pleasure of either witnessing or knowing in my lifetime.

This book is focused on youth and young adults. We explore aspects of how youth are socialized and how they frame and form their self-identity. Our book looks at Kuwait, a multifaceted society which is often misunderstood by the Western world as mired in a legacy of war, hard-line Islamic values and oil. However, Kuwait is a sophisticated cosmopolitan where Islamic values mesh with Western ideals on consumerism, dating, media consumption and liberal arts education. Our book is centered on the youth and young adults in a society who are modernizing Kuwait beyond its concrete and glass skyscrapers and Western luxury brands. We explore the numerous aspects of the lives of young adults from media consumption, to the effects of gender segregation in university life, to altruism, to social media habits, the effects of Western cultural imperialism on their body image to depression and coping skills, and most recently, the effects of living with a pandemic.

Stories from a Small Town has three sections. "The Day of the Storm" is a historical fiction account of a devastating cyclone (tornado) that occurred in June 1899. The Long and Winding Road is a novella of a young man returning home to New Richmond from the Vietnam War and adjusting to "stateside" life, reuniting with a love he once lost, and a mystery he helps solve. Memories From a Small Town captures the adventures and incidents the author experienced as a NR resident growing up in the Post World War II years. I hope that you find something (if not all) to enjoy, reflect upon and remember.

We all leave some footprints on the planet as we live our lives - evidence of us having been here. We are not always mindful of the results of our actions and the impact they have on the ability of the planet to provide a livable environment for future generations. Like the question in the song Alfie, "Should you take more that you give, Alfie?" I guess that is a question that we should all consider as we consume the resources which are essential for human habitation, often wastefully and unnecessary, and participate for personal pleasure in activities which are harmful to the environment. Like Alfie, perhaps we take more than we give. As the population has expanded and technology has progressed over the centuries we have attained more comforts and pleasures, more things to do, more places to go, more ways to go there, more access to pleasant lifestyles and entertainment activities, and more leisure time in which to participate. Are we leaving future generations of humanity a livable environment on Planet Earth?

The purpose of the book on Angels is not to be a theological textbook or an exhaustive reference source. It is simply and humbly written to be "A Layman's Guide to Learning and Understanding God's Angels"; A BIBLICAL OVERVIEW OF GOD'S CREATED MESSENGERS. Its purpose is to foster information and understanding of the invisible world of angels, better described as the Kingdom of God. The key is to dedicate efforts to learning and preparing ourselves for God's Kingdom as we understand the workings of God's messengers in the past, present, and future.

The world is full of sick individuals, but when it involves a man of the cloth, the consequences can be great. Such is the case with the Bell Tower.

Charlotte Murray's mother died after giving birth to her out of wedlock in Charlotte's grandparents' home along the Combahee River. She would have turned sixteen that February of 1957. After her death, Charlotte was raised at a cousin's house, on Sugar Hill and Hobonny-one of the most remote and isolated area in Beaufort County, sometimes called "No Man's Land." For Charlotte, life was fun, sad, scary, and challenging. Not only was she essentially orphaned, but she had very few neighbors. With limited resources, Charlotte found joy in the beauty of nature: the river, moss trees, oaks and pine. Despite her challenging circumstances, Charlotte persevered and overcame her early obstacles. Her memoir will inspire and encourage others, showing that by the grace of God, anyone can succeed.
