Experience is the best teacher. This book is based on the truth concerning the centuries of unfair treatment of people of color here in America and abroad. All people need to understand the higher spiritual purpose behind the lasting tribulations. The greater goal is to make people of color aware that they are indeed Israelites. They are God's chosen people that emerged from the Twelve Tribes of Israel spoken of in the Bible. According to the word of God, mankind's journey to Arsareth/America began with the Israelites being the first people to reside in Arsareth. Ten of the Twelve Tribes of Israel founded their new homeland here in a country where no man had ever dwelt. They were and are the Native Americans. Now in the minority, Tribes, Hispanics, and Blacks are at the bottom of the totem pole. They are subjected to racism, health and wealth disparities, education and opportunity inequities, and police brutality. Being Black in America examines the cause, the effect, and the history of the people of color. None of which is by chance, but of prophecy.

Centauri invaded after they took their prisoners. They dominated Belltown until we fought back and drove them home with vengeance.

How could I go behind his back?Before I even had a chance to ask him, we were attacked by enemy soldiers. He was wounded in my place.I couldn't figure out how to protect everyone and still retain my humanity, so I abandoned the mask and realized my own corruption. I joined every other citizen trying to create peacetime. Ration thieves, enemy soldiers, everyone was just trying to survive.

Sylvia takes us on a journey from her life's childhood to being an adult. Her private battles in and out of the public's eye, and her struggles were full of highs and lows. One night, she suffered another beating that led to two black eyes and a knot the size of an egg on her forehead. She was extremely exhausted from all the tossing, banging and hard blows to her body. She could barely get out of the bed, and she was a scheduled panelist for the CT Commission on Women discussing HR Bill 5207 Ban the Box. There were great panelist on the program, including a CT State Representative sitting right next to her. How would she explain all the bruises to her face? She applied as much make up as she could, but there were no hiding these scars. This problem was closing in on her, and she felt as if she was losing not just the battle, but the war. Who was this abuser? Her silence had now turned its back on her.

I was knocked down by a shell. As I found myself laying on my back, the half-full flamethrower tank pinning me to the ground, a North Korean soldier came at me with his bayonet. In his quilted suit, he seemed to come out of nowhere. I can still see his face and smell the garlic on his breath. As he lunged at me, I was able to turn, but he stabbed my upper left arm with his bayonet. I had a double-barrel shotgun taped on the arm of my flamethrower and gave him both barrels. I think I blew him in half. The battle kept going on around me. Weapons fire was all around me, and I heard other boys being hit and falling. I laid there feeling weak as blood from my deep wound seeped out on the Korean dirt. I must have been ready to blackout when I heard a familiar voice say, "e;Joe, if I don't close up that wound, you'll die."e; (Paragraph italicized.)From growing up in a small Pennsylvania town, through Marine Corps boot camp and training, and finally, remembering and coping with buried memories decades later, Korean War combat veteran Joseph Barna recounts his life events that will put a tear in your eye and a smile on your face.

This book is intended to be an encouragement to all readers that no matter how difficult life is, we can always trust the Lord and know that He will be there for us and help us through tough times. As you read my story, you will see that I had a very difficult childhood with abuse and a self-destructing young adulthood with alcoholism and constant fighting. However, with God's help I was able to run away from darkness and find shelter in His mercy. Throughout my life I have had a lot of fear, sadness, and depression because of my father's abuse, but God was always there with me. Although during my childhood I did not believe in God, now I know that He protected me all the time. I could have died many times due to the abuse, but I am still alive. When I learned about God and accepted Him as my personal Savior, my life took a 180 degree turn for the better. From a drunkard and a street fighter I became a sincere Christian who loves everybody. God also blessed me with a wonderful wife, and I am so thankful for that. I cannot praise the Lord enough for all the things that He has done for me. With the Lord's help I was able to overcome the difficulties. I did it and you can do it, too! Just believe in Jesus as your personal Savior, and you will see the positive changes in your life.

What does the Gospel mean? That's a question I've asked hundreds of Christians, and for the most part, the response was always a look of bewilderment and confusion. Sadly, I dare say that many Christians do not know the real meaning of the word Gospel. Some say it means preaching hellfire and damnation. Others believe it means to always confess and repent of our sins. But what if the Gospel means Good News and that, in reality, it really is good news?This book was written in hopes of helping the confused Christian (as I was for so many years) that's had religion shoved down their throats to understand that Jesus didn't come to establish a religion-ship but a relation-ship based on the work He did, not the work we do. I hope this book helps you the reader to come to a glorious conclusion that The Gospel Really Is Good News and that the real issue is not the devil, sin, or our piety-things we've been taught to focus on-but that the real issue is Jesus Christ and Him alone, what He has finished for us at the cross and how we are completely complete in Him.

This novel dramatizes the underdog's fight for survival against an unjust system. It is about the brutal, shocking, and horrific world of Navy boot camp during the Vietnam conflict. The story's protagonist is nineteen-year-old Carl Travis, an anti-war activist who flunks out of Kent State because he spends more time protesting the Vietnam War than keeping up with his studies. He then forfeits his student deferment and risks being drafted into the Army. He does not want to flee to Canada to escape the draft nor does he want to go to prison for five years, so he enlists in the US Navy's hospital corps to avoid combat and the killing. He enters basic training and boasts to his shipmates about rioting at Kent State in May 1970, when National Guardsmen fired on protestors and killed four students. Carl's Navy superior officers learn about his anti-war past and threaten to make his life a living hell if he stirs up any trouble with his shipmates. Carl endures the harassment and brutal disciplinary action against him for resisting Navy rules and regulations and for protesting the mistreatment of other recruits. He struggles to survive and regain his identity, freedom, and dignity in this vulgar, abusive, sometimes violent, and dehumanizing world of the military.

The title Seeking Community: A Spiritual Journey came to me almost before I knew what the content of the writing would be. You could say that this writing was created around the title, as my eighty-year life journey has made me became more aware of the importance of the friendships and relationships that are made with everything. Each of these relationships constitutes or creates a community unto itself. Most of us spend our entire life looking for and modifying our relationships and communities in accordance with our life needs as those needs change throughout life. The motivation for the creation of any relationship is the need to belong. The connection that is then made is spiritual, meaning that it is about the feeling of belonging, the creation of the friendship, the connection that is of importance, whether those relationships are with people, animals, things, or with the world around us. It is the connection itself that is spiritual, not the entity. The realization that all feelings, good or bad, are spiritual, which is the essence of this writing. Without the connections made through community, there would be no evolution, which is growth and/or change, because there would be no entity to share that which has been learned with. This is the scenario for all species, not just man.

And there are cats, dogs, and birds who partner with our heroine to soften her falls and celebrate her successes, who are always on her side and avid proponents of the sunlit day and one more romp through the grass.

A team of scientists had a plan to study a creature that had been extinct for well over a million years. Or so it was thought.What they found was a nightmare-one in which they found themselves facing a mysterious and dangerous being, an ancient creature existing in a modern world to which it did not belong. They were left examining their faith and its interaction with what science thought it knew.In Cold Trail, our team of anthropologists continue their research into the mysterious beings and find themselves thrust into a much more recent mystery-a modern murder. They also uncover much evidence of the presence of the mysterious hominids, but no proof. They were first confronted by these creatures in the African Rift Valley, found the connection to the cryptohominids around Willow Creek, and are tracking them now in Alaska, where they also have to sort out the creatures' behaviors from those of a modern-day killer. Now it's twice the mystery, with even more questions lurking in the shadows.The old man thought for a moment. "e;I don't believe or not believe. I have never seen him. But if someone has seen something that I have not, how can I say it wasn't there? If I don't see something, that is not proof that it does not exist."e; He studied Wil for a few moments, almost as if looking into his soul. Wil felt the old man's mind reaching in, strangling the turmoil with which he'd wrestled these past four years. It felt like the old man was speaking directly to him, and he wondered just what he himself really believed. Sam paused again, looked at Officer Sterns, and asked, "e;But you're a policeman. Why is a policeman seeking a legend?"e;

This book is about the love shared between a grandson and his grandfather and the adventures they took together while the grandmother sat back and watched them explore.

My name is Vicksay Baby Moten-Richardson; I am the last of fourteen children. I realize now why I am so different in so many ways, not in a bragging way but in a way that God has laid it on my heart to share my life in this book. Not too many people are named Baby. It was not until I was eighteen and graduating from high school when I revealed that my middle name was Baby. When the principal of the school called my name and I walked up to get my diploma, it took over ten minutes to stop the class of 1974 from laughing. What a wonderful memory that was.For many years, I felt like I was a nobody, even though forty-two years ago I bought a new home when I was twenty-two years old with my sister, and she still lives there to this day. I was voted most likely to succeed. I completed high school in three years instead of four. I was number fifty-six in a class of 560, grade-wise. I would have ranked higher, but because I was graduating a year earlier, it caused my ranking to be calculated differently from the students who had attended high school for four years.I received three four-year scholarships to the University of Arizona. I completed a twenty-four-month computerized accounting program in eighteen months while raising four extremely sickly and one very difficult foster child and while running a full-time day care from my home. I took twenty-four classes in those eighteen months and received twenty-three As and one B. Of course, I give God the glory because He is the only one who gives us strength. I was a straight-A student.Since I was in first grade, I have always assisted children with learning disabilities. However, the one thing that I am proudest of was that I married a virgin. Inside I was this sad and disappointed little girl that I thought no one would love or care for. And one more thing that I am proud of is that with the only two men I have been intimate with in my whole sixty-four years of life, I took my wedding vows first. But that same person whom I just told about filed bankruptcy several times, moved over fifty times, and lost over fifteen cars and over forty jobs, all because of pride, disobedience to God, and letting people speak negativity into my life. It is very difficult to share your weakness with the world and those whom you love and know. But it is more liberating to know that my story is going to help many people, especially women, not to make the mistakes I have made.
