Armed criminals are hard. Well, not always. When stolen money goes missing three men attempt to balance their lives - mixing humour, a contemplation of suicide, and a desire for a better life with the all-consuming chase to recover the money.Follow the Money is a novel which explores working-class masculinity, the bonds and fallouts of male friendships, and the conflict between greed and family life, as the characters attempt to leave their criminal pasts behind them. Using many of the tropes of crime fiction and 'the buddy story,' the novel is both funny and poignant as the characters struggle to avoid their inevitable fates. Each of the men are brutalised and troubled in their own way, but they also know their salvation rests in traditional family life. They may behave like criminals, but at heart they long for loving family support. They admire women who offer them this, and the strength of the woman in the novel is keenly juxtaposed with masculine fragility. Each character offers their own complexities. HARRISON, an aspiring actor, wants revenge. His security guard father was injured during a bank robbery led by the crime boss, SONNY MCGUIRE. Harrison wheedles his way into the McGuire family, hooking up with Sonny's daughter, RACHEL, who has spent some of the stolen money entrusted to her by her imprisoned father. Harrison offers her a way out of her dilemma as her father's release date looms. He fakes a house robbery, taking what remains of the money, planning to return it later. Harrison buries the money in the woods, but he has an eerie sense that he is being watched. In the morning the money is gone.While Sonny is in prison, his wife, CHERYL, has been having an affair with another member of the robbery gang, GABRIEL. Now Sonny is home she must decide between them. She chooses Gabriel, but everyone's life changes for the worse when NIGEL, the psychopath who shared Sonny's cell, turns up unannounced. Suddenly, too many want a share of the money; Gabriel, Sonny, and the scary Nigel. The hapless Harrison has tracked the re-stolen money to an art gallery in Chester. What he discovers there will shock all of them - the fifty-pound bank notes have been withdrawn from circulation and are worthless. He returns to the McGuire house, intending to tell Sonny, where he is confronted by chaos. Nigel is wielding a gun and demanding all the money but Sonny has other plans. Gabriel realises he is in too deep. He wants a better life. He wants out.The novel conclusion offers different endings for each character. Sonny ends up dead, but he leaves behind a surprising legacy for each of his co-thieves and family members. The psychopathic Nigel walks away with nothing. Gabriel, after the death of his daughter and being dumped by Cheryl, is sectioned into a mental institution. While Harrison receives an offer from Hollywood, making the journey alone.The novel offers an intense exploration of family, friendship, and criminality, as the three men struggle against their working-class identity. Sonny can't escape from the despair of his suicide attempt in prison, Nigel has been brutalised by his criminal lifestyle. Gabriel wants a loving relationship with Cheryl and a stable family life, and Harrison, an unwitting member of the crime family, dreams of an acting career in the spotlight. The novel asks whether escape is possible for any of them. The money, the one thing they have all been striving for, may be safely within their grasp, but in finally getting it, they all lose something more important.

While America finds herself embroiled in a global conflict against Islamic Fascism, she is also engulfed in another war; it is a culture war for the very heart and soul of this nation. Only this war cannot be won with smart bombs or hell-fire missiles. Victory in this battle hinges upon America returning to the Judeo-Christian values that our Founding Fathers used as the bedrock upon which they birthed this great Republic. America is literally under siege. For more than half a century, the structure of the traditional family has been under assault, unbridled immorality has been embraced and promoted (especially by the godless entertainment industry and media elite). "Truth" is rejected and political correctness has been accepted in its stead. Because of the relentless assault upon Biblical values in every facet of our society-all have contributed to the undermining of the very stability of the fabric of this nation. Where has the Church been while all of this has been going on? She has been sitting submissively on the sidelines in her stained-glass cathedrals, passively espousing cum-by-yah. But the hour has come for the Church to awaken herself from her lethargic slumber and re-engage in the conflict. It is "TIME TO TAKE AMERICA BACK!" Pastor Ken Jones, author, speaker, alumni of East Carolina Bible College and presently pastor of Highest Praise Ministries in Louisburg, NC has been serving the Lord for 36 years. Highest Praise is a multicultural ministry literally reaching around the world for the building of God's kingdom and reaching the lost for Jesus Christ. Pastor Jones is driven by a heart that burns with an endearing desire to awaken the body of Christ to arise to our untapped potential of truly making an eternal difference in the world in which we live.

Called one of the most inspiring stories to come out of World War II when first published in 1959, this epic account of Arleigh Burke's legendary Destroyer Squadron 23 is much more than a story of ships and their tactical deployment. It is a story of men in action--some four thousand of them--and how they lived and fought as a magnificent combat team.Ken Jones not only records their heroic deeds but helps explain what prompted those deeds, including the leadership qualities that fired the men into action. In doing so he brings to life the outfit's fighting spirit--that mysterious combination of qualities inspired by great leaders that wins battles--and the man who led them. Commodore Arleigh Burke was the right man at the right place at the right time; his leadership fused the squadron into a superb combat organization.This book offers a vivid account of the fighting in the South Pacific during one of the most crucial periods of the war. In authentic, minute-by-minute detail drawn from once-secret documents, Jones describes the battles of Tassafaronga, Savo Island, Empress Augusta Bay, and Cape St. George. But the focus throughout is on the men as they meet the test of battle with a common bravery as staunch as any in the Navy's annals. No squadron in any navy is said to have won more battle honors in less time than the Fighting Twenty-third.
