While both Johnson and Grant initially shared similar views regarding the necessity ofbringing the South back into the Union fold as expeditiously as possible, their differences,particularly regarding the fate of millions of recently-freed African Americans, would soonreveal an unbridgeable chasm. Add to the mix that Johnson, having served at every level of government in a careerspanning four decades, very much liked being President and wanted to be elected in his ownright in 1868, at the same time that a massive move was underway to make Grant the nextpresident during that same election, and conflict and resentment between the two menbecame inevitable.

In this book I provide my answers to the questions which mankind has asked since the beginning of time: Is there a God? Is there a heaven? Is there an after-life? Do we reincarnate? Do we have an eternal soul? What is a "e;soul"e;? After 75 years of life as a lawyer, professor, author, professional athlete, father, husband, brother and friend to many, I have had innumerable experiences, just as every other mature adult has. I have traveled extensively, seen much and done much. I think it is my duty, and responsibility, to share my thoughts on such matters. I know full-well that no one knows, for certain, what those answers are, and probably never will. Regardless, I think every man and woman must examine their lives, and be ready to answer such questions if there is, in fact, a "e;God"e; to whom we must provide such answers. As Socrates said many centuries ago, an unexamined life is not worth leading. It is one thing to think about such things, and then to say them out loud, and quite another to put them down on paper for others to read and criticize. I am not trying to convince others that I am right and they are wrong. Again, as Socrates was reportedly quite fond of saying, I know nothing. I have examined my life and these are the conclusions I have reached.

The Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible gives no information about Daniel's early life or information about the queen of Babylon. The book is mostly about King Nebuchadnezzar's increasing dementia, and little about Daniel himself. The queen is mentioned only as one who summoned Daniel to interpret the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast. She was not given a name. Upon extensive research into the ancient empires of Babylonia, Assyria, Persia, China, and Egypt, the story comes forth. She was Queen Nitocris, designer and architect of the rebuilding of the City of Babylon. She was named after Queen Nitocris of Ancient Egypt, who lived 2000 years before her. Daniel was brought into her city, Babylon, as a slave. He became her spiritual teacher and she was his friend. After Daniel's death in Persia, she carries his teachings and friendship in her heart. His teachings and her quest for purpose and love take her on adventures to China, the fabled Silk Road, India, and Egypt. The author, Carole Lunde, traveled to the middle east and Egypt. Her research for this mysterious queen, who was barely mentioned in the Hebrew Testament, caused her to investigate the ancient histories of Babylonia, Persia, and China around 550 BCE to find this queen and write her story. The author has published nine books on spirituality and Bible fiction, illuminating the lives of other nameless women in the Hebrew Testament.
