The year 1898 ushered in a time of tension between the United States and Spain, fueled by the yellow journalism of newspapers owned by Hearst and Pulitzer. The United States declared war, and thousands of angry volunteers joined up to exact revenge for the bombing of an American battleship. The last decade of the nineteenth century was also a time when individual women were making accomplishments in previously male-dominated vocations. The Daughters of the American Revolution organized women who wanted to make their communities better. And yet, the bulk of American society still felt a woman's place was in the home. Though women could own property and could inherit wealth, married women were considered an appendage of their husbands, making their economic resources the property of their husbands. But immense changes were brewing in technology, communications, and power. It is within this dynamic period that Jessica Calhoun and Stephen McCormack literally collide with one another, and the chemistry that ignites between them propels them into a whirlwind romance, punctuated with danger.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Gore Lyle. I'm a six-foot-two-inch, two-hundred-pound (of mostly muscle) ex-Green Beret, ex-cop, undercover SPUTF (Special Police Undercover Terrorism Force) agent. I also am independently wealthy thanks to a mob chief. Did I mention the mob would probably like to take me out? I say probably because I don't talk to them about that subject. When I interact with the mob, it usually involves a gun and little talk. This all sounds cut-and-dried, but life is never cut-and-dried. I always carry bad memories of Green Beret missions that went wrong where a lot of killing was involved. I was a different brutal person back then. Then, I found God. However, that old Gore is always there in the background like a bad dream. And yet, working in a dangerous occupation, that bad Gore comes in handy, at times, but must be kept in check most of the time. Only crying out to God and my weird sense of humor helps. What a quandary, for a Christian-You can only cover so much up with humor. Welcome to my life.

Nearly three-quarters of a century following the reprehensible cover-up of the worst US naval disaster at sea emerges an unparalleled account of survival from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis CA-35. But this time, it's not the story of the ship that went under or of the innocent captain blackballed by fellow brass; instead, it's the inspiring true story of a young sailor's unsinkable faith in God to do the impossible despite the inevitable. Introducing Indy navigator Robert "e;Bob"e; P. Gause, QM1, the survivor who discovered the gruesome half-eaten sailor described by Captain Quint in the original movie Jaws.

Torpedoed in the dead of night by a Japanese submarine, the crew of the Indy is forced to abandon ship. Over the next three days, their situation rapidly deteriorates as mayhem sets in. By day four, death and deliria have consumed most of the crew. Dependent upon spent life jackets that are threatening to take them under, Bob and the dwindling group of survivors realize their hours are numbered. If help doesn't find them soon, there won't be anyone left to tell of their unimaginable plight in the deep. More than an incomprehensible tale of hope, Bob's memoirs from the Indy amass a story so unfathomably true-you'll swear its fiction. Unsinkable; it's what you become when ending up on the bottom of the ocean is not an option!*A portion of all book sales will be donated to organizations dedicated to helping our servicemen and women, active and veteran, in the battle against PTSD.

Emily, a young lady from the Philippines, immigrated to America to join her aunt. The only asset she had when she left home was her strong faith in God to carry her through the great world she was destined to conquer. Through God's grace, she found a job in a prestigious firm in Los Angeles. She's incredibly brilliant, courageous, and not intimidated by what's ahead of her. These are some of the tools which Emily used to reach her greatest success in becoming the chief quality technical consultant of the Finance Circuit Optimum Company. Luke, a very handsome and intelligent young man, was a general manager of the firm to which Emily reported for duty. His success in running his department is due to his never daunting leadership. He is greatly admired and respected by the people under his management. Because of his good judgment and influence, he eventually got promoted to executive vice president of the company. There was an instant connection between him and Emily ever since they met. Over the years of working together, they found strength in one another including lifting each other's spirit when things became grim at work. As time went on, their friendship developed into a romantic relationship. As their love for each other grew deeper, they relied more and more on the Lord's guidance. Luke's visit to Emily's home in the Philippines and meeting her family became the pivotal point in his quest for happiness and peace. Most of all, Emily's world may be as far away from Luke's world, but the world they live in is totally in God's hands. Although there is a disparity between Luke's and Emily's world, it really didn't matter to them for their deep love for each other will ultimately prevail because love knows no bounds.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. The Pilate commanded the body to be dilevered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting against the sepulcher. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, "e;Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, "e;After three days I will rise again."e; Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse that the first."e;Pilate said unto them "e;Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can."e; So they went and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone and setting a watch. (Matthew 27:57-66)In the end of the Sabbath, as it begun to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women "e;Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."e; (Matthew 28:1-6)Is it not possible and reasonable as well that the "e;watch,"e; also referred to as the "e;keepers,"e; were young Roman soldiers Carsus and Felix and that they were witness to the great event described in the above scripture?

The book title brings to light our fallen nature as merely fragile vessels that are easily broken. Our willingness to serve self, while others are being shattered for eternity. Suppressing truth adheres to self-reception, only to ingest the food by Satan's deception. Praise the Lord for the life that we receive. Testimonies that shed the light are by faith that we believe.

Butterfly Wings is a book that was written following the loss of my father. During a time of great sadness and heartache, God's love, comfort, and peace began to flood my soul in those early days. Even in the midst of pain, there is beauty to be found. I began having personal experiences with butterflies. They just started showing up, and boy, how often they came in those early months. The butterflies provided such comfort and peace in ways that I cannot fully convey. I just know what they meant to me. The beauty of those butterflies got me thinking of the life cycle of the caterpillar, and once his job is complete, he blossoms into the beautiful butterfly. Much like the caterpillar, we too live our lives here on earth; and once our job is complete, we too, like the butterfly, begin our new life with our Lord and Savior. Our life is not complete; it just changes. We are given a new life through Christ. My hope is that this book will provide some comfort and a sense of peace to others dealing with the loss of a loved one. We will always miss our loved ones, but we know that they are always with us, in our hearts, in our thoughts and in spirit. Yes, my friends, even in the midst of pain, there is beauty to be found. In loving memory of my dad, John McDonald (1947-2015).

Being and Teaching Special NeedsGary David SillsBook This book is autobiographical in nature, considerably more informal than a thesis or a research paper. My emotional handicaps struck the week before my senior year of high school. This was at a time when "e;Special Education"e; was not established. Mental illness was not a comfortable topic, especially in a Christian home. In this book, my method is to take the reader with me into my struggles, disappointments, and failures in higher education and how I overcame them. As I built skills with troubled teens, I added education from a Christian university that gave me more than adequate tools to teach some of the most difficult to manage students. Limitations in this kind of writing are describing how I dealt with challenges in my classroom without noting research-based methods or other sources. My memoirs here as a handicapped student improperly diagnosed for many years will be of value to parents wrestling with similar problems. Included in the memoir are many scenarios from my classroom in which I modeled successful responses to situations and explained why; I also offered usable innovations that your teacher will find helpful.

This book doesn't offer riches or fame; it offers happiness, love, joy, and lightness of spirit. It's your private journey into your soul. We spend so much time caring for our bodies and mind but very little time on the most important part of our existence that will carry us into eternity. All the goodness, badness, and memories are packed into our soul until revealed on judgment day. What are you carrying within your soul?Does sitting cross legged, repeating a mantra, and staring into a candle not work for you? Separating the soul from the mind and body takes effort and quiet contemplation. Follow this query method to discover hidden secrets about yourself and clarify your values. In return, you will remove burdensome residue from the depths of your soul and begin to experience more joy and lightness of spirit than you ever imagined possible.

Each poem is a stage in my evolution towards God conscious. The alchemy of the word. When reading this book, I hope you will have a relaxed mind and let your emotions run freely. God inspired me to write these poems.

Thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the conference hall at the European Union quarters in Brussels. Thomas falls to his knees in utter shock as he watched the televised life-changing event. His head was pounding as if there was a blaring red neon sign that was going off, and on in his head were the words, THE ANTICHRIST SIGNS SEVEN-YEAR PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL! Like most Christians, Thomas believed that the signing of the seven-year peace treaty would not take place until after the biblical rapture. In desperation, Thomas cries out to God as to why he was left behind. To his astonishment, he later learns that the rapture hadn't happened yet!With his adult son's help, Thomas comes to the conclusion that the seven-year tribulation must have begun at the time of the peace signing with Israel. In desperation, Thomas restores his broken marriage and moves his family, along with a small group of people to the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. He finds refuge at a forgotten, old abandoned settlement, which he and Scott had accidently discovered prior to the peace agreement. Miraculously, the buildings were still all intact. They were even filled with personal belongings, which had not been touched by human hands since the 1800s. Thomas felt led by God to bring his people to the Keweenaw, so they could take refuge from the tribulation and the diabolic Antichrist. Life is a struggle for the nineteen settlers as they live much like the pioneers of olden days. Besides the day-to-day struggles for survival, there were romantic conflicts, new relationships, and catastrophes. Nevertheless, the new members of Old Town put their faith in God's hands in the cold, rugged hills of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Musings of a Preacher's SonLife is so precious yet unpredictable. No matter what education or background we come from, none of us knows how our lives will evolve. I never thought I would write poetry, but at fifty-five, I became a poet. The wisdom acquired through my life's experiences forms the prelude for my interest in writing these poems that reflect my life as the son of a priest, a Christian, a father, a husband, and a practicing lawyer. Some of my musings are inspired by being raised in a large and colorful Greek-American family. My observations about people, religion, nature, the world, love, and life are reflected in my writings. No matter who we are, we are shaped by our parents, our environment, our culture, and our upbringing. We all want the same comforts in life; and we all show our weaknesses and strengths through our passions, prejudices, and talents. I hope one or more of these poems speaks to you in some small way.
