Since the beginning of time, people have wondered and had different beliefs about an afterlife. It is also a topic over which there is much debate. There can only be two possibilities. One is that there is no life other than this physical one we have now, or there is another one in our future. So, what happens after a person dies? Do they go straight to heaven? Do they go to a lake of fire if they are wicked? Do they turn to dust and never live again? Will there be a resurrection? If so, what kind of life will it be? In this book, I will look at different views and arguments on this subject and then say what I have learned by using Bible passages to back it up. Most people believe in God. If there is no God, then life has no real meaning. Our lives would be like a flicker of light that is lit for a moment and once the light goes out, it will never burn again. If, however, there is a God, then He should have the answers, and if He has the answers, they will be in the pages of the Bible. I wrote this book to give hope to those that have lost loved ones. We all must face death someday, and if you believe in God His word makes it clear what happens when a person dies. Christ is the only one that died and was resurrected with a glorified body, so He should know more about an afterlife than anyone.

This is mainly a book of humor. It's a collection of six of my books. Each of them is about relationships in one form or another. The first book is titled "The Instruction Manual for the WIFE," (Wonderful Idea From Eden). It's about the unique creation known as WOMAN (Wondrous One Man Always Needs). The companion book is titled "How to Care for Your MAN," (Mate's Animalistic Needs). The third book is "How to Raise Your CHILD," (Cute Huggable Innocent Little Darling). The reason being is that you usually cannot have the MAN and WOMAN together without a CHILD soon coming along. The fourth book is "INSTINCTS," (Interesting Natural Secret Tendencies If Nature Could Teach Secrets). The story begins in the Garden of Eden and ends with a "Revelation." In this narrative, I examine how a man would live if all he had were instincts. How would he behave, what would he eat, and how would he find it? How would he attract a mate and what would he do once he did? How would he survive on only what he was born with? The books five and six are much different. Book Five contains "The Lost Proverbs." Like the biblical Proverbs they say a lot with just a few words. Book Six is "Kenny's Sayings," they are like the "Lost Proverbs" except they are humorous. I wrote these books to be entertaining and I hope they are.

This book contains about 35,000 words and is a collection of children's stories, poems, riddles, and jokes that I have written over the course of more than forty years. This is a new addition of another story book I wrote for children several years ago. This new addition, like the older one, is full of pictures and photos of birds and animals. It also has several true stories of wild animals I raised as a child and an adult. A teacher that bought a copy of the earlier version for his two young children, once told me, "My kids would never sit still and listen to a story being read to them until this book." Another little boy, upon seeing the pictures inside of the earlier version, exclaimed, "I love it already!" Since this is an updated version, it has the best stories of the earlier book plus a few other stories that I've recently written. There are also several stories from my non-fiction book "Life Along Little Pigeon Creek." Although this book is for children, people of all ages will enjoy much of it as it brings back fond memories of their childhood.

Yes, there will be an invasion from outer space! It will be similar to what one might see on a Star Trek movie, but it will be real and on a much grander scale. It will also be in the not too distant future. How has this information been hidden for so long? What will the world do when it happens? What will these alien beings look like or do to the inhabitants of the earth? The answers lie in the words contained in an ancient manuscript! Not only does this ancient manuscript say there will be an invasion, but it even gives the number of spaceships that will arrive! These will be huge spaceships capable of holding hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Those operating the ships will be part of an enormous army of hundreds of millions. The ones coming will take over the governments of the earth and rule with an iron fist. No one will be able to resist them and great fear will come over all those on earth when they first appear. "Why haven't I heard about this before?" you may ask. There are several reasons. One is that many have not read this ancient manuscript or if they have, they do not understand what they have read. Yes, the greatest event in history is just around the corner. Things that are soon coming will shake not only the physical earth; it will shake our sense of reality to the core.

Most Christians think the Holy Days that God gave to the Israelites do not pertain to them. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of God's Holy Days was and is the Sabbath. The Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, was instituted by God at the creation. It was to be kept for all peoples and for all generations. Neither the Israelites nor the tribe of Judah was even in existence at that time. Adam and Eve were the first to be told to rest on the seventh day. It would be thousands of years before God gave Moses the Ten Commandments to give to His people. Yes, keeping the Sabbath is for all of God's people, not just the Jews. Keeping His other Holy Days are also for all of His people and they pertain more to Christians than anyone else.In this book I will give all of God's Holy Days and explain what they represent and why we should observe them. His Holy days are a "blueprint" and "rehearsals" of His plan of Salvation, redemption, the resurrection, and His setting up God's Kingdom on earth.

"Words to Live By," is to help you understand the Bible better and to live a Christian life. I did the best I could in writing it. However, do not take my word or even the translations I used without checking for yourself to see if what is written is true.Much of this 100,000-word book is written in modern English. However, it will have quotation marks like a novel. After each book, there will also be commentary by me, the author. This will shed light on many misunderstood teachings.Often it is difficult to understand what the Bible is saying because it was written so long ago and with many words that are no longer used. There have been dozens of translations of the Bible, but many versions do not make the meaning of the passages clear. This book will read more like it was originally written---as letters from Apostle Paul, Peter and others to the early church.If we read what was said to those early saints, we can find the truth about many things. Things such as: what happens when you die? Do we go straight to heaven? Should we keep the Sabbath and which day is the Sabbath? Should we keep Passover, the Day of Pentecost and the other holy days of God? What does it mean to "be born again?" Is Christ coming back to earth for His people? He is coming before the Great Tribulation, in the middle of it, or after it is over? Some do not believe He is returning at all, so what's the answer? Will Christians have to go through the Great Tribulation? How will we know the Antichrist? Can we eat anything or is God's dietary laws still valid, and many other questions?

The controversy has been going on for many years now. Today, there are those that say, "It is a woman's right" to have an abortion. On the other side of the scale, there are those that say, "It is murder."What is the answer? Is it murder? Does a woman have a "right" to end a pregnancy? That is what this book is about.Will what I say in this book make any difference in the debate? I do not know. Most people have already made up their mind if abortion is right or wrong. There are others, however, that have not given it much thought. Even if you believe that a woman has a right to have an abortion, have you really looked into what the debate is all about? Have you looked carefully to see why there is such heated augments? If you are right and there is nothing wrong about a woman having an abortion, then you have nothing to worry about. If, however, you are wrong, this book could change your life.

Buddy and Rambo: The Orphaned Raccoons is a true story of two baby raccoons that were rescued and raised by the author and his wife. The two baby raccoons were found alone without their mother when they were about a month old. They were never caged as they grew and were taught to find food in the wild. They were also on national TV, and today you can still see them on YouTube playing, wrestling with one another, and getting into mischief.

Most believe that evolution is a fact. The fact is, it is still a theory and has never been proven and can't be. Why? Because it is not true! I have studied nature since childhood and am an outdoor writer. I have also studied the Bible for over fifty years.In this book, I give some startling facts that show that evolution could not have accounted for the complex variety of life. I also give some Bible verses, which show that God is the Creator and that those that believe in evolution must have "faith" in a world that has created itself.In writing this little book, which is contains about 25,500 words, I will be using some quotes and a couple of excerpts from a few of my other books already written. I will also use quotes from so-called "experts" to show how ridiculous their thinking is and what they say to explain creation without a creator. I even have a quote from a world-renowned atheist and professor that studied human DNA. After his research, he said that not only did God exist, but also that God had to have designed life. He said that evolution could not have happened!

Today you see nature programs and television commercials about saving wildlife and or animal cruelty. Some think that there should be no hunting or killing any animals at all. Others think that there is nothing wrong with hunting, as long as you do not kill too many animals or rare and endangered ones. Then there are those that just see an animal as something they can exploit for profit. And what about killing animals to feed the world? Why am I writing this book? I am an outdoor writer and have been for many years. Besides having the insight of a hunter, angler and conservationist, I have also studied the Bible since I was fourteen-years-old. One of the topics that I have studied is how God views the way we treat animals. The other topic is about what is predicted to happen to the world, not only concerning the animals, but also to us. In this book, I will point out what God thinks. Is it wrong to eat meat? Is it wrong to kill a wild animal? What about the abuse of an animal and what is abuse? Does the commandment given by God, 'Thou shall not kill, ' mean people or does it mean animals, too? Does God tell us how we are to treat animals in our care?

One of my most popular books is Mysteries of the Bible. Therefore, I thought I would write a book that explains in more detail Christ's 1,000-year reign.This is a short 23,000-word book, but it is not a work of fiction because the Bible says many things about what the earth will be like when Christ returns for His one-thousand-year reign. I will use many Bible scriptures, which give a clear picture of how some things will be during that time. I will also use references that the Bible makes to show how other things will most likely be. It is a fascinating look into the future of our world and I hope you enjoy reading it.

The Day of Blood! The blood! All the blood! That's what always enters my mind first. It's that time when you're not quite awake, yet not asleep. Your brain is trying to snap you out of sleep and bring you back to reality-the reality that another day has dawned. It's no longer yesterday; it's tomorrow. You're no longer a part of yesterday, but your yesterdays are always there-always with you. And as for tomorrow-well, tomorrow never really comes either. It's all relative. But that's what seizes you and twists you and hurts you the most, it was a relative. But not just any relative-it was my mother! It was not a crime of passion, but of cold calculated planning. Yes, planning to destroy the one that loved her-destroy the one that fathered her children. And the children? There was no thought as to how this act would affect them. All that mattered to her was to be free. To be free of the responsibility of being a wife and mother, free to pursue happiness, no matter what the cost. This is that story-a story of an obsession. It's a story so cold and callous that there are no words that can adequately describe it. A story about a person who will commit an act that would shatter lives and leave a child with flesh wounds of the mind-wounds that would last a lifetime.

Are events in our lives governed by pure chance? What is a coincidence? Could a coincidence not really be a fluke, an accident, mere luck, or an odd occurrence? Could it be more?This book will astound you because it is full of strange things that have happened to the author or others in his life. Things that cannot be easily explained. Could dreams come true down to the smallest detail, or was it more than just a dream? Was it a vision, a prophecy or a prediction of the future?What about miracles? Do they really happen? Are there guardian angels watching over us? Is God directing some of our lives? Can random events take place that saves a life or changes the course of history, or is there something behind the scenes that is at work? If you are not a believer, you may be after reading this book.This book is not a work of fiction, but every story and event actually took place. Some can be explained by being just a coincidence, while others cannot. You be the judge. Also, take a look at your own life and see if there have been things that have happened to you that cannot be easily explained. You might be surprised by what you will find. Yes, you may find that the events were not just coincidence

This is my longest work and contains about 133,000 words. I wanted to write one that ties my life together. I have "Life Along Little Pigeon Creek" that tells of the early part of my life while living in the "Striped House" and the unique people I knew from the time I was four-years-old until I was eleven. I have written "Do Pets go to Heaven", which gives some insight into my life from the time I was eleven until thirteen. Lastly, I wrote the book I titled "A Cabin in the Woods" that tells of my life from the age of about eighteen until the present. I did not put everything in them, however, nor did I connect the stories together. This is the reason for this book. It will be mainly for my family or anyone that liked my writings and wishes to know more about my life once I'm gone.

The Ruby Ring is a story of overcoming great odds and hardships. A little boy of seven finds a ruby ring with a strange inscription on it beside a country road. Many years later, he discovers what the inscription means Later still, the inscription seems to have been a "sign" of what was in store for his life and that was to be a writer.This is a true story. No names have been changed and the author was the child that found the ruby ring those many years ago. Today, he is a writer and has over 75 books.

This book has poems for everyone and of all ages. There are: "Poems that Touch the Heart," "Poems of Love," "Poems of Faith," "Humorous Poems," and "Poems for Children."In this revised edition, several dozen poems and a new section have been added. A few of the poems were also originally written as songs.There are more than 140 poems, which have been written over the course of more than 40 years, beginning in 1978. This edition also includes nearly every poem the author has ever written.

The title of this book sounds grim. It is indeed, for the Grim Reaper is already stalking the earth. No, this book is not a work of fiction, but based on fact. Death is like an ominous dark shadow that has been here among us for centuries. Now, in the not too distant future, he will launch and all-out attack on all the inhabitants of our planet! How do I know? That is why I am writing this book. Can he be stopped? I have information in this book that will astound you!

To date, 2023, I have published over 80 titles and Mysteries of the Bible is one of my most popular books. The reason is there are many mysteries, and it takes a lot of study and God's guidance to understand them. Many things have also been hidden until our day. In the Book of Daniel, (Daniel 12:4) the prophet was told: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." We are now at the "time of the end" and people are traveling all over the earth. Knowledge is also doubling every few years. Because of this, some things are just now being revealed about the Bible and there are more to come. In this book, I will reveal who the "two witnesses" are and where they are today. The Bible tells us what time of year the battle at Armageddon will be fought if we know where to look. The Bible also makes it clear about many other things that most do not understand. Like: What happens when you die? Who is the Antichrist? When was Christ born? When did Christ die (it was not on a Friday!). What day was He resurrected? What really happened in the Garden of Eden? Who was Cain's wife? Will there be a "secret rapture"? And many more. Christ says in His word, "Seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be open unto you." If you truly look for the truth, you can find it. You must listen to what the Word says, however, and not to any man. If you question something that I have written, look for yourselves. Christ is the truth, so you cannot go wrong in following Him. Therefore, do not read this book unless you have an open heart and really want to know the truth.

This collection contains four different short books, each of which was too short to be printed as a paperback edition on Amazon. They are still available, however, as e-books.For the Love of Nature is a collection of stories about birds and animals. I have studied wildlife since I was a child and love to write about them. I've been an outdoor writer for many years and have written for several newspapers and magazines. I also am the author of several books on wildlife.The stories included in this collection are: Book 1: "The Ancient Art of Falconry." Book 2: "The Mammoth Slayers: Why the Series was Written." Book 3: "The Last Mammoth." Book 4: "I Don't Want to be a Pig!" The last two stories are for children, but many adults may also enjoy them. "I Don't Want to be a Pig!" received a great review on Amazon, so I'm sure many will enjoy it.Most of my books have received great reviews and Five-star ratings. Some of my books have even changed lives. Others said they were touched so much that they were crying as they wrote the review. "The Mammoth Slayers" are my most popular books by far and there are four in the series. "Mysteries of the Bible" is next in line and closely followed by "A Cabin in the Woods." There are also many others that have received terrific reviews and they are listed at the end of the book.

Biblical prophecies tell us when Christ is returning, that is if you can understand them. This book contains about 29,000 words. In it I give many Bible Scriptures that show we can know when His coming is close "even at the doors." If we search we can see that the Bible even tells us what time of year the battle at Armageddon will take place. If we know this and other things we can understand that many prophecies and "God's blueprint" point to a certain time of year for Christ to return to earth. This book will reveal things you may have never read or heard before. The Scriptures are right in your own Bible and make it clear what must take place just before Christ comes to resurrect His followers and set up His thousand-year rein on earth.

All of these plays were taken from stories I have written and are available in paperback, hardcover and e-books. The first three are in A Children's Story Collection as a paperback, hardcover and e-book. They are also in Kenny's Children's Stories as an e-book only. Besides being in a collection, they are available as individual stories.

Countless books and articles have been written about marriage, sex, infidelity and divorce. What does God say about it, however? After all, he was the one that instituted marriage, therefore, he should know more about it than anyone else. In this little book, I will go to the expert and Author of marriage, love, sex and all of our relationships and see what he says about it.

This book is mostly about the birds and animals of Indiana, although many of these species live or did live all over North America or in the eastern United States. The author has included several of his conservation stories that were either published in his newspaper columns or were in local, regional, or national magazines. In some of the stories, Ken made predictions about the future of some species returning to Indiana, which have since come to pass. There are a few other stories from his book "Life Along Little Pigeon Creek"; stories such as The Panther, The Ingenious Trap, and The Great Yankeetown Easter Egg Hunt, which people of all ages will enjoy.There are also stories about some spectacular birds that once were common along Little Pigeon Creek where the author grew up, but are now extinct. Other stories are about the successful reintroduction of birds and animals into their former habitat. Species which had completely disappeared, but today, are so common that few realize they were ever gone.Therefore, I'm sure if you love wildlife, there will be many stories in this book that you will enjoy. If so, let me know by going to Amazon and giving it a rating and a book review. Thank you.

This book is for those who enjoy the great outdoors, whether it's hunting, fishing, or conservation. It contains about 107,00 words and has 80 of the author's outdoor articles and stories from the newspapers and magazines for which he has written. A few of the stories are humorous and even won awards from Hoosier Outdoor Writers of which Ken was a member for many years. Others are about the birds and animals we have lost in America. Most are about the joy of pitting your skill as a hunter or fisherman against a worthy opponent. Others are about just enjoying being in the outdoors alone, with a friend, or even with your faithful dog at your side.Ken has loved nature and the outdoors since he was a child. Because of this, a few of the stories are from his book about living on Little Pigeon Creek when he was a child. Stories such as "The Panther", "The Elusive Quarry" and "The Great Yankeetown Easter Egg Hunt" are some of them. Therefore, just sit back and be prepared to laugh, cry, or feel nostalgic as you experience Barnestorming the Outdoors.

Jerusalem is in the news nearly every day and has been for the last seventy years. The state of Israel was established on May 15, 1948. Since their Babylonian captivity, which was over five-hundred years before Christ, the Jews did not control their own country or the city of Jerusalem, except for a few brief years. In 70 A.D. the Romans destroyed their holy temple, slaughtered tens of thousands of them and made many others slaves. From that time forward, the Jewish people have been killed and driven from their homeland. They have also been persecuted wherever they went and made vagabonds with no home.Since the return of the Jews to their ancestral homeland there has not been peace in a city that God himself established as the City of Peace. Jerusalem has been fought over for many centuries and is still a flashpoint between the Jews and those that claim it does not belong to them. It will fulfill its destiny, however, because God is in control of its future. In this book, I will give the history of Jerusalem and Israel, the promises God made to His people, the Jews, and all those who follow Him. I will also explain the prophecies that show what awesome things will take place concerning Jerusalem, which will be in the not too distant future.Jerusalem is destined for greatness like no other city on earth. The reason is that it is the key to hundreds of biblical prophecies and the place where the armies of the world will come together to fight at Armageddon. Yes, only after this battle will the world realize how important Jerusalem and the Land of Israel are to God. Then the world will know how much love He has for the city, the land and the people that will call it home, both Jew and gentile.

Many cannot understand the mysterious Book of Revelation or The Apocalypse, as others know it. Much of it can be understood if you know certain other prophecies, which were explained by Christ. Others secrets were revealed to the prophets and they too are explained.This book will take you through each verse of the Book of Revelation and explain what the symbols mean and reveal other scriptures that were written centuries before that say the same thing.The Prophet Daniel was given several visions, but he could not understand many of them. God told him "at the time of the end men would travel all over the world and knowledge would be increased." We are there now and many of the prophecies about Christ's second coming, the Great Tribulation, the resurrection, the battle at Armageddon, and other things are being revealed.

Is it possible that God is giving prophetic dreams to His followers today? If so, should we pay attention to them? This book is about two very strange and bizarre dreams that seem to have a dire WARNING for America and the entire world! After reading what I saw and heard you will be the judge.The dreams came in the summer of 1992 and were two weeks apart and they were no ordinary dreams. In the first dream, I saw a strange image and a voice told me what it was. In the second "dream," I saw nothing but heard a voice say, "That's bellabuggery." I had no idea what it meant if anything and I had never heard such a word. After doing some research, I found that the word did have meaning and what I was shown in the first dream two weeks before meant the same thing!

This book contains several short humorous stories along with what I call "The Lost Proverbs". I also have my most popular poem titled "Condemned" at the end of the book. Most of the humorous stories are about the outdoors, some of which have won awards from Hoosier Outdoor Writers of whom I was a member for many years. Other stories are taken from tape recordings of fictional "hunts" in which two crazy characters try and capture wild ferocious animals. Near the end are humorous "sayings" and then the "Lost Proverbs", which are much like the ones in the Bible. The "Proverbs" are not humorous like the other things in the book and are meant to cause one to think and reflect.

Everyone reading these words came into the world because of sex. Sex is a topic we all love to read about. We want sex in our marriage to be good or even better than it is. There are five different levels of sex and that is why I wrote this book; most only know two or three levels.I have written this short book of about 30,000 words to try and help married couples have a closer and more fulfilling relationship. If you do not have a good relationship outside the bedroom, most likely you will not have a good sexual relationship either. On the other hand, if your sex life is a disappointment, it can cause the entire relationship to suffer and maybe even fail.In the book, I discuss ways to have better sex and why this is important. I will be discussing adult topics, but in a loving, monogamous, marital relationship. I will also say why this is important. There are problems that all couples have in marriage and these can and do affect their sexual relationship. I will also address these problems and show ways to deal with them.

School shootings, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, gang violence, murder and armed robberies are all in the news headlines every day. What can be done to stop the madness?Why is there such controversy about gun control? One side says, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." The other side believes that if no one had guns the world would be a much safer place. Who is right?In this book I look at the argument and see if either side is right and if not what the answer really is. Recently, I had a Five Star review of this book on Amazon. I will let the man's words speak for themselves: "I can't recommend this book enough! A quick read (that is relative by the way). It is an eye opener, no matter what side of the issue you are on. I started reading with an open mind and just 'waiting' for the zinger to happen. The zinger if you can call it that, is to make you THINK. This book makes you think!"
