    Planetary science was born as an opposition to Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision," a number one best-seller in 1950 based on ancient texts from cultures around the world. Based on ancient texts of a number of cultures, Velikovsky claimed that Venus was born out of Jupiter and would therefore be hot and Jupiter would be radiating electromagnetic radiation. When the first observations of these planets proved this claim true, a prominent Astronomer Harold Shapely assigned a young PhD Carl Sagan to oppose Velikovsky arguing that Venus is hot because of a "runaway greenhouse effect" and Jupiter is a gas planet, in public debates. Due to support from the astronomical community, Sagan's simplistic claims were adopted as the "standard model" which advocates that the solar system has been in its current state for billions of years despite the great differences in the planets. However, this model remains unproven to this day despite many probes sent to these planets. The enormous ages of the planets suggested by this model support the notion that all life including mankind evolved from lower forms over millions of years. The the author of Miracle: The Creation of the Earth" compares the Rigveda, Egyptian, Greek and Roman texts, space probe data, close-up images of these planets and correlates these with biblical passages which suggest that the surface of the Earth was formed in biblical times by the intervention of a supremely wise and powerful intelligence whose complex manipulation of the planets seems beyond the bounds of theology. It suggests a complete destruction of ancient life on Earth, the K-T extinction, about 4000 BC followed by a 3,000-year creation period during which a new crust and the complete fully developed modern day life forms were transferred from an ancient living planet captured and released in a geostationary orbit of the Earth during one hundred 30-year cycles, while mankind, newly created (Genesis 1:26-28) watched and wrote the ancient myths.There were multiple purposes of the 30-year cycles. The smaller ancient planet became distorted by the tidal force of the more massive Earth during each capture period, described in terms of well known features mentioned in ancient texts of many cultures, resulting in its release. The 15.6-year releases into an orbit of the Sun allowed it to regain its spherical shape and regrow vegetation. These same periods on Earth made possible the formation of granite, unique to the Earth and allowed the momentum of the continents induced by the tidal effects of the captures to continue. This leads to new interpretations e.g. of Genesis 1:1 where "the "heaven and earth" refer to the two planets orbiting one another and the real time announcement that the creation is complete in 687 BC (Isaiah 65:17). The obvious conclusion being that a superior culture with more wisdom and power than ever imagined, far beyond that currently being sought by the SETI project, planned and executed the transfer of life to the Earth.Geologists (Paleontologists) today have no idea that this terraforming of the Earth's surface took place recently because the soil and sedimentary rock that covers the K-T extinction contains zircon crystals, the ratios of uranium to lead in which are currently imagined to give Earth ages. However, these crystals were blasted from volcanic vents on the ancient planet therefore the U/Pb ages are indicative of the ancient planet, not the Earth. As a result, the creation period on Earth, the Cenozoic, is thought to be 66 million years before the present instead of 6,000 years, therefore scientists cannot imagine the ancient myths contain any valuable information. All fossils are dated based on the zircon crystals in the nearby soil or rock not by radiocarbon14 of the fossil tissue because of the assumption that they are ancient.

    First introduced in Peter Warren's novel, Confederate Gold and Silver, the author's principal protagonist, Paul Waring, along with his wife, Donna, and Paul's best friend, Bobby Ray Jenkins, head up an exciting and talented list of criminal investigators from across South Carolina's Grand Strand. Confronted by a series of brutal murders, and with little evidence to work with, Bobby Ray, the commander of the Georgetown County Sheriff's Department's Major Case Squad, along with his boss, Sheriff Leroy Renda, convince Paul to help them work these on-going murders. Retired from the Connecticut State Police Department, Paul's background includes not only being one of Connecticut's top investigators prior to his retirement, but someone who also enjoyed a long and successful stint as a criminal investigator. Paul's expertise in dealing with a host of vicious and brutal criminals, including a lengthy list of murderers and drug runners, caused many departments across Connecticut to have sought his help in solving a wide variety of complex crimes that were not only sadistic and heinous, but brutal and disturbing in how the victims were killed. As Paul joins the task force Renda and Bobby Ray have created, a key piece of evidence continues to be left behind at each of the scenes where the killer has dumped his victims' remains. This key piece of evidence are red bandanas that, in some cases, have been left stuffed inside the mouths of each of the victims. Also left at each of the scenes by the killer are notes; each covers a range of different topics. As the investigations continue, so do the killings. But then, as these bandanas are closely examined by Paul, Bobby Ray, and Douglas Vane, the chief forensic examiner for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Department, Paul notices several clues the others have missed. One of those clues soon leads him to their second suspect. He then advises his partners of the presence of this second killer; someone just as brutal as their first suspect.As Paul and the others struggle to identify their primary suspect, Donna Waring makes what she believes to be an innocent comment regarding someone she knows. From this point on, Park works feverishly to connect the evidence to the person Donna has mentioned. As he delves into each of these murders, Paul also works to find the answer to one other issue. Why have the victims been murdered in Myrtle Beach and their bodies dumped in Georgetown. THE HORRY COUNTY MURDERS takes place along the scenic Grand Strand in South Carolina. Readers who have visited Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, and Georgetown, SC, will enjoy how Warren has used many popular tourist attractions as the scenes for this story. The excitement and suspense Warren has weaved into this tantalizing murder mystery will keep readers on edge as they turn each page. A former Major Crime commander, as well as being the longest serving commanding officer of the Connecticut State Police Department's Statewide Narcotic Task Force, Warren's vast experience has allowed him to write a story which readers of crime novels and murder mysteries will thoroughly enjoy. This is a MUST read for those who enjoy a fast-paced novel while trying to identify who the two killers are that Paul's skills and talents have finally identified. Can you identify who the two killers are?The author of seven novels, Warren's latest story, FORGOTTEN TREASURE, is a sequel to his popular novel, CONFEDERATE GOLD AND SILVER.

    Daniel was a teenage boy in Jerusalem when armies of the Babylonian Empire invaded Judah and took many residents in captivity to Babylonia. He remained there during the seventy-year period of captivity proclaimed by and enforced by God. He remained in the Persian Empire after the Persian Empire captured Babylonia.The Bible book of Daniel provides some of the most detailed information about the future of the world. God proclaimed events that would happen. Leaders of the day received dreams and visions from God. Only Daniel was given the interpretation of those dreams and visions.Daniel served in high level government positions under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and King Cyrus of Persia. That produced the opportunity for Daniel to introduce leaders to the ways of God. (Called 'Yahweh' in the novel.)The dreams and visions from God to leaders, and to Daniel, project events in time from the Babylonian captivity to the coming of Jesus and the church. Historical events have occurred just as the visions from God proclaimed, yet a casual reading of the book of Daniel may leave the reader confused.No part of the novel conflicts with any of the Bible, yet the novel discusses prophecies from God that are not clear in the symbolic writing. (Thus the title PROPHET with Daniel as the prophet.) That is the primary reason this novel has been written.

    239 souls are on board MH370, a red-eye flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 238 expect to arrive safely. 1 soul knows that no one will. In MH370 Airliner Down!, authors Zicard and Holling skillfully use the known facts surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370, the greatest modern day airline mystery in aviation history, and create an epic espionage thriller with four countries involved. The fiction story places American secret weaponry in the aircraft's cargo bin. Jack Walker (CIA) and commercial pilot Addison Stark (Aussie agent & love interest) are teamed together to retrieve the weapon system. After a relentless chase through Southeast Asia, intelligence operatives, crewmembers, and passengers come together onboard, trying to control the final destination of the flight. MH370 vanishes into the night. No Mayday or pilot cries for help. No radar pings or satellite pictures. Will a suicidal crewmember have his way, or that a terrorist will hijack world attention for his cause, or that a manipulating operative executes a hostile takeover for his own gain?Weeks later, with passenger victims' families left behind to grieve, hardcore investigative reporter Noah Jacobs, discovers and exposes the truth of the Boeing 777 mystery disappearance, with its massive government embarrassments and subsequent international coverups. A true airline disaster, MH370's ill-fated events are uniquely dramatized-- managed plausibly with nail-biting suspense-- giving kudos to the insider authenticity and skill of the authors. This page-turning aviation novel gives new meaning to "inspired by true events" and will thrill both aviation aficionados and avid mystery-thriller readers alike.

    This is an inspirational book about ordinary people acting in an extraordinary manner when faced with a multitude of challenges from a flood, fire and a superstorm. It is a story about the Point Breeze Volunteer Fire Department (PBFD) and two other volunteer fire companies within New York City who defied the mayor's evacuation order in advance of Hurricane Sandy.

The story is told by the chief of the PBFD, at the time of the disaster, and focuses on the overwhelming events that occurred during the storm and year-long recovery effort. The struggle to survive multiple disasters and to restore the community to pre-disaster conditions acts as a guidebook to many global communities and disaster response organizations who may experience similar events with renewed efforts towards resiliency. The book addresses the author's previous training and life experiences as a first responder which helped him to prepare in advance, for this series of impossible events.

    Does God still speak to His people? This book has numerous examples when the Holy Spirit spoke to Todd in such a way that he knew it was God's voice, and acted accordingly. Jesus said that His sheep would hear his voice. Starting at the age of twelve when Todd first heard the Holy Spirit speak to his heart, he knew without question that it was God speaking. Regretfully, he did not respond. The Lord was calling Todd at a young age to give his life to the Lord, which he did not do until he was twenty-one years old. No, it was not an audible voice, because He doesn't have to speak that way. The Holy Spirit speaks to our spirit and in our thoughts, but it is never in contradiction of God's Word. This is not about mysticism or spiritualism because that is not of God, this is about legitimately hearing within ourselves God's voice for His own purpose. This book is titled "An Amazing Journey", and subtitled "Stones of Remembrance". In reading this book you understand why Todd believes his personal journey has been amazing. But more than that, his intention of the book is to bring others into recognizing their own amazing journey. He strongly believes that every Christian should also have their own stones of remembrance.

    Crocanthropus is an absurdist humorous short novel that proposes an evolutionary mistake that produces a crocodile-ancestored creature taking hominid form. The creature brings grief to all that encounter it. It combines the horrific legacy of a reptilian past, a feral child, and narcissist personality. It barks. It eats human flesh. It is wild, uneducated, nasty and mean. The novel also pokes fun at the reviews for over the top praise for good writing that inevitably accompany new fiction releases. Some examples of this absurd gratuitous praise reviewing are included as a component of the novel itself. In tandem with this, the body text of the novel comprises ridiculously bad writing, cocking a snook at the often very ordinary prose that is published to lavish acclaim.

    Happiness is difficult to describe. No wonder philosophers have argued about how to attain it for centuries! Is there really a path to happiness? Yes, and T. Calvin Ward shares it in Happiness to the 10th Power (H10 for short). We've all met unhappy people. They come from every background, age group, and socioeconomic status. Thus, Ward chose to write a simple manual on how to find personal happiness that anyone can use. No pie-in-the-sky objectives that depend on wealth or youth or belonging to the"right group."Instead, Ward presents 10 factors that combine to enhance happiness. Everybody knows what they like and dislike--what brings them happiness (or at least what causes them to be unhappy). This book won't ask anyone to change these personal qualities. Rather, Ward teaches his readers how to prioritize the 10 elements so they support happiness based on personality, traits, and likes or dislikes.The first nine are religion and/or meditation, honesty, friendship and family (including pets), hobbies and special interests, charity, personal goals, freedom, vocation, and body maintenance. The 10th is an attitude that enhances the effectiveness of the first nine.By focusing on these 10 key components to happiness, Ward empowers his readers to map out their personal pathway to pleasure, joy, pride, gratitude, and other positive emotions. The route Ward lays out is simple. It just requires a willingness to follow each conviction the book prompts, to dedicate the effort necessary to change. Those who do will discover an inexhaustible well of happiness.
