We've heard of the most infamous gangsters, however there were smaller bootleggers across the United States supplying booze to people across the country. This story is about one such group.

All of his life, Darwin Sator wondered why the New Testament contains so many appeals to hate and prejudice, why it so often contradicts itself, and why magic, as opposed to wisdom, has become so important to Christians. Following in the footsteps of a mystery man, a genius he calls The Illuminator, Sator believes he has found the answers. According to the author, The Gospel of Jesus was vandalized (in essence, rewritten) 1,500 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt, by a group of men who had a lot of interest in building a church and promoting themselves, but very little dedication to the teachings of Jesus. Sator believes, furthermore, that the damage to The Gospel(s) can be undone to the satisfaction of most reasonable men and women. Amazing? Yes, it is. You must see for yourself. You owe it to yourself. At minimum, The Crisscross Double-cross is a riveting historical mystery based -- as everybody claims nowadays -- on real life. While relating how The Gospel was sabotaged, Sator proposes a number of secondary theories, among them: that Peter and Paul never saw Rome, that Matthew, Mark and Luke didn't write gospels, and that Paul may not have authored any of the epistles. It is very possible, he says, that at least four of the five never even existed. You might ask, "Who is this crackpot?" and while Sator doesn't believe he's a common-variety Bible nut, he concedes that he'd be the last to know. "You're invited," he says, "to read the book and draw your own conclusions."

About 10 years ago a skeptical friend asked Darwin Sator, "What's so great about Turkey?" to which he replied, "I'll make you a list." A year later, Sator presented his friend a list of what he considered 100 very interesting facts. He kept a copy, and kept adding to it. A couple of years ago, when the list passed 300, he started thinking about writing a little book to share his excitement with others. The Turchophile File contains an improbable total of 475 interesting facts. ("Gotta stop somewhere," Sator says.) They are presented willy nilly, not to confuse the reader exactly, but to prevent him from viewing the country from any narrow perspective. The original idea was to call the book Turkish Trivia, Talking Turkey or Turkish Tidbits, which have the advantage of being alliterative, but while some of it is definitely trivia, more of it isn't, and the other two names make you think of that bird again. The Turcophile File is better. It's alliterative too, and it says exactly what the author wants it to say, which is: "I love this place, and I'll bet you would love it too."

This book is about a family finding themselves in a desperate situation after the loss of their mother. With help from caring individuals, a home was found for the children at the Methodist Children's Home in Winston - Salem, NC. "Pop" Woosley and his dedicated and understanding care givers provided the education and leadership that directed the children toward an opportunity for a better life. The life of the boy, Fred Tanner, and what his physical and emotional experiences were well documented as he describes the daily life at this home where he lived for 16 years. In some instances, living in an orphanage is much better than living in some family situations. The structured living environment was so designed that one home mother could manage the behavior of 30 boys. The boys had the opportunity to get into boyhood mischief, and that they did! Boys had their own understanding of "orphan humor." Some boys lived the life that would rival Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer while some boys were mellow and studious. Through sports, work responsibility, scouting and some social events the boys were mellowed somewhat into responsible young boys. Hard work and discipline were a matter of fact and became the life habits of most of that were raised at this home. Opportunity for further education was made available through work programs and college assistance to those that wished to attend. Most all boys served a tour in the military. Children and their parents, many in not much better situations than we were, gave their pennies and nickles so that we could have a pair of shoes or a decent set of clothes. This was most humiliating. Other people of means were kind enough to see the need of over four hundred children.
