The book "The Railroad Builders," written by famous financial analyst John Moody, is an informative overview of the historic and revolutionary era of railroad growth in the United States. The book digs into the dynamic interaction of vision, engineering, finance, and ambition that powered the nation's vast railroad network. John Moody, renowned for his financial acumen, navigates the intricate network of problems and accomplishments experienced by the individuals and corporations who built the railroad industry. He provides a vivid portrayal of the visionaries, investors, and engineers who forged the steel lines that united enormous swaths of the country via rigorous investigation and analytical insight. "The Railroad Builders" takes readers on a voyage of creativity, complete with labor struggles, property acquisition, and technological advances, through fascinating storytelling. Moody masterfully dissects the financial dynamics that fuelled this massive enterprise, as well as the railroads' tremendous impact on trade, communication, and urban growth. Beyond infrastructure, the book delves into the social and economic repercussions of this transportation revolution. Moody's work emphasizes the railroad industry's lasting stamp on the American landscape, as well as its role in defining the country's progress, wealth, and connection.

THE JOURNEY ON THE ROAD TO FORGIVENESS IS NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT THE POWER OF FREEDOM ATTAINED FROM THE CAPTIVITY OF YOUR PAST MAKES THE TRAVELING PRICELESS. The meaning of family can vary in many ways, but for young John it was comforting to know that he belonged to a group that provided him trust, comfort, love care, and happiness. Early on, he thought the life he lived would be forever. Little did he know his perfect world would soon crumble, as his mother would leave due to domestic violence, and his father would leave six months later. While faced with challenges, disappointments, disaster, and despair, children learn to lean on the love they develop for one another. The pain of unforgiveness was the one barrier that kept young John from moving forward -- then he learned of the love God demonstrated through His Son, which allowed him to have a life of fulfillment and meaning.

Fact-based conclusion of the Hui TrilogyIn Just Another Country, Moody brings an emotionally shattering, politically infuriating conclusion to his fact-based trilogy of China's relentless attempts to destroy the United States, be it through a deadly virus, an endless wave of illegal immigrants, shipments of fentanyl, or Artificial Intelligence. Worst of all, Chinese AI Bots have acquired emotions and are now turning humans into their slaves.Moody's warnings about the decline of the U.S. and China's escalating threat to the West in his three volumes have been largely borne out in recent years. As Xi Jinping, the iron-fisted leader of the Chinese Communist Party, accelerates his drive for global superiority, naïve, heedless Americans fret over racial hatred, inequality, gender identity, sexual freedom, celebrity singers, TV shows and Donald Trump's hair. JFK's famous "Ask not" speech has been turned on its head. In today's America, E Pluribus Unum has been deformed into Gimme gimme gimme. Moody presents a parallel, interwoven tale of America's troubled relations with Mexico and its longstanding failure to control the flood of illegal immigrants along its southern border. With flashbacks to another refugee from the former Soviet Union, it's clear that no matter the century, no matter the politics, no matter the truth, unless it changes its self-satisfied, self-defeating ways, America risks becoming Just Another Country.Praise for Of Course They Knew, Of Course They..."Americans know something is wrong but have been silenced by political correctness. These characters have a voice."-Sean Hannity"John Moody has made a major contribution to our understanding of the Covid disaster. His novel will enlighten every person who reads it. I found it fascinating." -Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the United States House of RepresentativesPraise for The World We Wish"The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction."-Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy "Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history's most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what's kept at arm's length from us via the media and academia."-Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com

Little is known about the history of Rufus Comprehensive School, opened in the early fifties on the site of an old pig farm. An accurate but unkind observer had once been heard to say that little had changed. Both were long low buildings full of noisy, smelly creatures. It was assumed that Rufus had been a Saint, but he could have just as well been the benefactor's dog. Brian Wilson is an accident prone art teacher, who manages to involve just about everyone he meets in one ridiculous situation after another. The book is full of humour, from start to finish. Example (after being accused of swearing in the classroom) "And the swearing?" responded the Headmaster. "Male menopause," replied Brian. "Good grief, what next?" said Mr Redbone. "It exists, you know." Brian said, warming to a possible escape route from his dilemma. "Recent studies have shown that men try to pass it off as just stress of overwork or something. But it has all the same symptoms that affect women. Fatigue, hot flushes, severe headaches, and you can add to that male aggression and sexual dysfunction." The Headmaster was by this time slumped in his chair thinking that this teacher had far too much creativity for his liking. "Stop right there, Mr Wilson. I hope you are not suggesting that you should be given some time off because of male menopause? Good grief, we would have half the staff off complaining of severe mood swings. And the Department of Education would have to supply all its male teachers with free patches." "That's very funny, Sir." Example 2 (after a small accident to his manhood) "Mr Wilson, I do not think that it is a very bad wound, but it is in a sensitive area. We had better anesthetize it and how you say, put it to sleep for a while." Doctor Diaz reached for what seemed to Brian a very big syringe. "Bloody Hell! You're not going to stick that thing where I think you are going to stick it, are you?" Brian shot off the table and his trousers that had been open to the knees, promptly dropped to the floor. "Only a little joke," chuckled the Doctor, placing the large syringe down he picked up a bottle of antiseptic and some wadding. "But this may sting for a moment and feel cold, but as you say no pain, no gain." Just what I need, thought Brian, a Doc with a sadistic sense of humour. "Bet he uses staples instead of thread." There are parts of your body that feel natural to be fondled when in bed with your loved one. But, at this moment in time, with his trousers around his ankles, he was anything but comfortable with the idea. It was unnatural to have your manhood held firmly by a man wearing owl like spectacles, and a torch attached to a headband so that he could get a better look. It didn't help that the only surgical gloves the doctor had found were fluorescent pink. "I think, Mr Wilson that you should lay down and occupy your mind with something, but nothing naughty or saucy, I will have enough trouble as it is, without it waving in my face." Brian lay back down and tried to think of something that would take his mind off the procedure. Unfortunately, he also saw the doctor advancing with what looked remarkably like the same kind of stapler they used in the Art department. Brian remembered the pain when he had accidentally stapled his finger to a canvas he was making. "Wait a second Doc; can't you just tape it or something? Don't think it needs those bloody big staples in it, does it?" "This is much quicker and more efficient, I will empty half a bottle of surgical spirit over it first, it may sting for a little while, but after that you will not feel a thing. Believe me it's the best method. It is for safety reasons. Tape will not hold and believe me; this is much quicker than sewing. Anyway, I am no good at sewing, couldn't get my foot in a sock I once repaired. I could end up attaching it to your leg." The Doc grinned again, "Only kidding, it gets me through my day. You need a sense of humour in this profession."
