The Chase is the second of the three-volume continuum entitled The Hunt. Volume 1 was entitled The Search. It recorded my search for historical documents that confirmed the truth about the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four Gospels of the Bible. Volume 2, The Chase, is a record of the application of the documentation found in The Search, to the truth regarding the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four Gospels of the Bible. Volume 3, The Find, will use historical documents found and applied to the life of Jesus to identify and conform his position as Messiah, forgiving Savior and Eternal King.The second volume, The Chase, of the set of three explores the earthly life of Jesus within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time. Jesus was born into this world during the time of the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus (January 27 bc to August 14 ad). He lived, ministered and was put to death during the reign of Roman emperor Caesar Tiberius (September 14 ad to March 37 ad). Jesus was born into part of the world governed by Herod the Great, a vassal king appointed by the emperor.
Acts 17:11 tells us that the Christians in the church at Berea willingly received the Word of God and daily searched the scriptures in order to determine the accuracy of the things taught to them. Similarly, Something to Think About: Things Not Taught in School looks to the scriptures in order to determine the accuracy of the teachings presently presented to our generation.This book is a series of Bible studies that look into the foundation of the Christian faith. Based on scriptural references, it looks at not only what Christians believe but why they believe as they do. Each study is written for a new believer, but the subject matter is of great value also to an older believer who is looking into the elements of his or her faith.Most of the studies presented begin as a word study on one of the basic building blocks of our Christian faith. A quick look into the book reveals that the author relies heavily on the scriptures to make a point. This methodology is used for two reasons: (1) the author believes that the truth resides not in his words but in God’s word, and (2) he firmly believes that the word of God can and does explain itself when properly presented with other supportive scriptures.This book will cause you to reflect on the things that you have been taught. In fact, many of the teachings presented in the book came from questions asked by fellow believers during Bible studies conducted by the author. The intent of this work is not to question your faith but to establish and ground your faith in the scriptural proofs found in the Bible.

During the period of October 1970 to October 1971, he spent seven to eight months on the front lines in Vietnam as infantry, “grunt,” where he earned both the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and an Army Commendation. Later in his tour of duty, he worked in the finance office in Chu Lai. After Vietnam, he came home to his wife and baby of fifteen months.

Born in his grandfather''s house during a blizzard, breech baby Martin George Le Blanc was not expected to survive. Instead of baptism, he received last rites. Lack of birth registration made him the ideal future "warrior of last resort": a blank slate.Le Blanc enlisted in the U.S. Army as a footloose 20-year-old Canadian, during the early days of the Vietnam War. His rapid ascent to elite black-ops warrior transformed the small-town Nova Scotia kid into a clandestine force in the Vietnam and Cold War eras (1966-86). He finally became an American citizen years after retiring from military service.In A Warrior of Last Resort, a work of autofiction, Le Blanc sheds sharp new light on a period that foreshadowed today''s geopolitics. He explores how a rugged childhood and intensive military training toughened him; the dangers and hard-won satisfaction of defending freedom; and the damage military service inflicted on body, mind, soul, and relationships.Le Blanc''s character, a U.S. Airborne Army Ranger and member of Special Forces, had a hand in historic events, from Israel''s victory in the 1967 Six Day War to the Soviet Union''s failing grasp on Afghanistan in 1983. He completed 16 major missions and many operations in South and North Vietnam, Cambodia, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, Germany, Grenada, Italy, Lebanon, and along the Pacific Shelf.After each of three nearly-fatal missions, once suffering the loss of all nine men under his command, he broke down, withdrew, healed, and returned to battle, despite his enduring pain and trauma.A movie producer, whom Le Blanc served as a bodyguard, mined the retired warrior''s life, character, and quirks to create hit man Martin Blank in the dark-comedy film Grosse Pointe Blank (1997).A Warrior of Last Resort weaves the tale of one remarkable life. Martin Le Blanc will inspire, amaze, horrify, and deeply move you. "Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of Liberty."- John F. Kennedy

Americans kept working their way through the tunnel of the Vietnam War, seeking the light at the end our leadership kept telling us was there. Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. —C.S. Lewis

Without your health, you have nothing. It is the very foundation by which everything else in life grows and flourishes. Without it, peace, joy, happiness, and purpose are absent, and the ability to express love and support to your family, spouse, employer, and friends can be lost and nonexistent. In pain and suffering, one is caught up totally into themselves and unable to serve and care for others.In five decades of practice as a fasting coach, this book’s author observed over half of her clients suffered from depression. Today we have evidence that this is a result of toxicity and incorrect diet, resulting in sickness, mentally and physically.Success in life’s ambitions can become illusive. Many people state they “eat clean and healthy,” but further investigation as to what is being put into the body is actually fueling carcinogens, free radicals, toxicity, and disease, creating addictions to unhealthy (and deadly) foods. This prematurely steals life at an exponential rate. Many of our medical directives ensure the continuation of these cycles through toxic drugs and adulterated dietary guidelines.The most important approach to master a healthy condition is by taking steps outlined in this book through fasting, healthy eating, detoxification, vitamin/mineral supplementation, and, importantly, exercises. Fasting is the universal key to combating illness as well as keeping weight under control and never having to diet again for a lifetime.This is the ultimate guide to optimizing your health, the greatest asset you will ever possess. This book will guide you into a place of vibrant, purposeful, and glowing well-being, resulting in abundant life. It is not difficult. This book tells you how.
