This is a unique story with the intent of showcasing how even the worse of us and the worst of our sins can be redeemed and covered by the grace and love of God. How do you get confirmation of God's love, grace and mercy for the hypocrites and the worst among us? You exploit it through a story of massive deception, uncontrollable sins of passion, careless disregard of forgiveness and neatly disguise it as the things that are common in today's marriage, even a thinly veiled Christian marriage. Such is the case of Wanda and John, a hypocritical couple whose lives slowly become unravelled as they both embark on different but equally destructive paths of sin and deception. Their marriage was the perfect cover for the out of control rollercoaster ride that would plunge them both separately into the depths of hell while professing to be on the road to Heaven. A few bad decisions were the catalyst that set things in motion that neither could stop. By the time they both realized they were in over their heads, instead of trying to get out of hot water, they dove deeper with unforeseeable consequences. A closet Christian couple, allows their inner demons to surface in their lives and get in the driver's seat and take them down separate roads that will exploit their soul and leave them adrift in a sea of deception. As they move closer to going over the brink to total destruction, the unforeseen circumstances that they find themselves in serves as the orchestrated hand of God who actually has other plans. If you are a sinner, thinking about sinning, making plans for sinning, are good at covering up sins, then this book is for you.

As the lambent light from the slumbering fire dances across the roof of the cave, a young girl wakes from a dream. Kec's dream tells her that her clan is in jeopardy, and Mother Earth expects her to do something to save her people. A magic child will be sent to help her. Far away, Strong Branch, a powerful shaman of his people, has he own dream. The Great Spirit sends him a warning about a future of conflict and killing. Kec's people are very simple, but they are strong and powerful enough to have survived the ice ages of Pleistocene Europe, by force, for over one-hundred-thousand years. Strong Branch's people are late comers from an alien world far to the South. They bring an advanced technology that allows them to utilize the environment in ways Kec's people never could. As the population of the aliens has grown over a period of more than twenty-thousand years, the stress on the hunting environment has become critical for Kec's people and their antiquated hunting methods. Kec and Strong Branch must play their parts in a microcosm of the greater struggle for survival; the conclusion of their struggle will establish a new story and a new history for each of their peoples.

Do creation days reveal God's future plans? Was the flood universal or localized? When God said, "Let there be light," did he foretell the incarnation? Is there a connection between Noah's sons and the Middle East today? It turns out the Bible is one of the most misunderstood and mysterious books ever written. Although a best seller, the Bible is rarely read or thoughtfully analyzed, except by ministers and theologians. The Bible actually has the power to change people and cultures, but usually sits on a shelf, inert, its powers trapped between its covers. Scriptural Thoughts is an analysis of the bibles deeper meanings and unique concepts, many revealed for the first time. Using the Scriptures, this short book offers a 'read between the lines' spiritual examination by applying metaphor to Scripture verses and truth.

The Bible is one of the most misunderstood and mysterious book ever written. Popular to buy but seldom read, it usually sits on bookshelves or coffee tables unused. However, people who do read and believe the Scriptures know for certain it has the power to change lives.This book, The Apocalypse, is written as an assembling of all that is known about the book of Revelation. It is a compilation of many Biblical scholars thoughts regarding interpretations of some of the symbols used by God to describe His prophecies in this book. Of course, much is still unknown, but you are able to add or subtract basic thoughts simply by studying the Holy Writ yourself. God will show you some things more clearly than me or anyone else God wants to inform you!

At a Moments Notice: A Witness to Murder is a fast-paced novel about the witness, how his life changes direction, and how those changes affect those who love him. The reader is taken into the inner sanctum of mob activity regarding one particular murder, as the story takes many twists but is never predictable. Taking place in Manhattan, NY, in 1957, the plot is inspired by true-life events from the author's past.

After Marine Drill Instructor/Naval Aviation Flight Cadet Battalion Commander Dave Ferman crashed, burned and nearly drowned in a Florida swamp, Dave was assigned to Naval Air Intelligence with Navy Squadron VAH-7 in May of 1955. A Top Secret operation disguised as an air-to-air refueling squadron, VAH-7 was actually a Navy atom bomber squadron deployed on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East at the point of the U.S. Navy spear during that extremely tense, explosive phase of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United Nations.One of only two VAH-7 Air Intelligence personnel on the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) aircraft carrier, Dave's boss broke his leg while riding a motorcycle in Palma, on the isle of Majorca in October 1955, was careflight transported back to the United States and, amazingly, he was not replaced until the squadron returned to the United States in late December, 1955. However, the VAH-7 Air Intelligence functions on the USS Coral Sea continued uninterrupted. That's when Dave's life became far more complicated.The daily work load for VAH-7 Air Intelligence could be 16 or more hours during major operations, but somehow even shore leave became considerably more intense and threatening. In the Holy Lands, both Palestinians and Israeli's shot at Dave in Jordanian East Jerusalem and in the Jordanian desert. FYI, the Israelis were the better shooters, but the Palestinian terrorists were far more troublesome. They had just killed 10 Israelis and were looking for more victims to murder.In an ancient, crowded slum crammed between west Istanbul, Turkey and the Golden Horn, two home boys tried to kill Dave and one of the bomber crewmen with an antique Mercedes limousine squeezed into a very narrow alley. The next day Dave bumped into a friend and classmate from Wichita, Kansas. Dave didn't know that his friend was a CIA agent stationed in Istanbul until their high school class reunion 50 years later in August of 2001.In 1955, Squadron VAH-7 won the coveted Navy "E" for Excellence

Eternal Life is a comprehensive study of Biblical scripture. The study defines, characterizes, and shows the existence of Eternal Life. The book shows the teachings of Christ himself to the men he chose as apostles as well as to the crowds. It shows what he witnessed to the apostles he chose after he was resurrected. It also shows what the men delivered to the church after Christ himself ascended. The book also deals with the Whole Armor of God and its application in a Christian's everyday life. These notes and teachings are the foundation for everything I teach and share with others.

To quote a pithy Kansas farm maxim: "Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain Dance." Back in March of 1954, Marine Drill Instructor Dave Ferman could not have picked a worse time to sign up with the Navy Flight Program at Pensacola, Florida. The worn-out, pre-World War II Navy basic training aircraft, the SNJ Texan, was on its last legs and rapidly becoming "unglued." As a result, Navy maintenance and repair crews could not keep up with the excessive wear and tear. Various parts such as engine nacelles fell off in flight, control cables popped off their roller tracks, metal fatigue took its toll, accidents were common, and at least a dozen pilots were killed during one year.Dave witnessed four of those accidents. During his Ground School's outdoor graduation ceremony, two SNJ aircraft collided overhead. Since each aircraft had two tandem seats but only one parachute deployed, up to three pilots may have died in that collision. Then the same thing happened again six months later. Dave also witnessed a fatal crash during a cadet's first solo landing, and then another cadet panicked during his first flight. He jerked the control stick back into his lap, the SNJ went straight up just after his wheels lifted off the runway, then it stalled, swapped ends, and plunged straight down to everlasting eternity.Dave was the Cadet Battalion Commander when he was assigned a mortally pre-damaged SNJ that was declared--while he was flying it--to be not only too dangerous to fly, but too dangerous to land. After crashing in a nearby swamp, the engine, both wings, and the tail assembly were ripped off the fuselage, and the cockpit cage flipped upside down as Dave submerged unconscious under the brackish swamp water. Fortunately a Navy Crash Crew arrived at the crash site almost as soon as Dave did, but his military flying days were over.Bummer!

There are five great chapters from Alive, I Cried Fiercely, starring the best-known character Thomas Blueberry, also known as Mister Big Tom. These independent stories relate to how God savesthe lost the same way he saved Jonah. It presents a better understanding of God and the salvation thatHe willingly gives; I sincerely believe that many people will graciously receive the Lord-Jesus Christ once they truly understand their eternal need for Him. So I hope this book will challenge and encourage those who profess to serve the Lord and also introduce the vitality of repentance-yes, repentance is so important that the Lord God commands all men everywhere to repent. It is the gift of God.

This book has been carefully adapted following the prequel, which you really need to be acquainted with: "No Vengeance! No Voodoo!" The well-known phrases and metaphors are kept in addition to the scenes and imagery to direct to the heart of the story. Eventually, Kootan was too young to convince Kitibel that voodoo was not the way to go; he had to wait until she passed away to persuade her daughter, Briane not to follow her Mom's footstep. A bond was formed between the two. If Briane ever comes to terms with such bonded agreement, he promises to marry her but, under the following two conditions: to reject voodoo's doctrine and join him in eradicating this cancer that is terrifying Hispaniola's Island.

Ever since Dave Ferman was 8 years old at the start of World War II, he wanted to be a U.S. Marine. Like many of the little kids in his low-rent, blue-collar neighborhood, Dave idolized these fierce warriors and longed to wear their snazzy dress-blue uniform. Nine years later 75000, North Koreans soldiers quipped with Russian T-34 tanks and MiG-15 fighter planes invaded our ally, South Korea. Hot to trot, Dave wanted to enlist in the Marines immediately after high school graduation, but by then he was recuperating from a football injury and could not enlist before February 1953 when 75 local studs enlisted en masse to form Boot Camp Platoon 118 at MCRD San Diego, California. Dave's Cold War Warrior Trilogy comprises three related collections of stand-alone, true, sea stories that are interconnected and chronological. Beginning with this book, these personal memoirs are as follows. 1953--Making A Marine Grunt Warrior offers many glimpses into the rigorous world of Marine Boot Camp, three weeks of intense, precise challenges on the Rifle Range at Camp Mathews to qualify as a rifleman, the intense challenges of Drill Instructors' (DI) School, around the clock duty as a working DI, and a tour as a Military Policeman (MP) introduce basic orientation to the U.S. Marine Corps.1954--Making a Marine Pilot Warrior reveals the U.S. Navy's dire predicament when their Pilot Training Program had to continue although the SNJ-Texan, their basic training aircraft, was dangerously overdue for replacement, and the personal consequences of that lethal situation.1955--VAH-7: Secret Navy Atom Bomber Squadron was disguised as an air-to-air refueling unit operating in the Mediterranean Sea and the hostile Soviet surrogate countries in that theater. During the Cold War, 152 U.S. aircraft and their crews permanently disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. However, the gallant airmen of VAH-7 continued to fly those dangerous and essential data collection missions from June to late December of 1955.

The Song, so called, here consists of words to be read aloud. It is a collection of parts intended for recitation. A large section of the "Song", in "remastered" form, is a story in a form that can be re-enacted. It is "remastered", like getting a good "master" copy for music, because it is put back in the form it was intended to be in. Will this be accepted in proven religion? I present this book as a challenge to those that have never considered alternatives to the form given in the Bible. Do their ideas make more sense?The "Shelomith" whose name is on the front cover is the last prince listed in II Chronicles 11:20.

The Lawler family is moving west, heading for Oregon along the Oregon Trail. Their wagon train got a late start, and because of that, they reach Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, much later than they should. When the train members come to understand their tardiness, they set out cross-country to pick up the Bozeman Trail, with the notion of heading to Bozeman, Montana. The Lawlers' wagon is disabled, and Caleb Lawler comes down with what the other party members believe is cholera. The Lawlers are left by the other emigrants, who promise to send help. The Lawler children, Andy, Anne, Maggie, and Jerusha, are alone after their parents die. They set out to follow the others across the Wyoming plains. When they find the wagon train has been attacked by Indians, they change direction, deciding to cross the mountains to get to their destination more rapidly. It is a very wrong decision, but they have no way of knowing that.

It has been said that the taking of a fortress depends primarily on the makingof a good plan to take it, and the proper implementation and application of theresources to make the plan work. Long before a fortress has been besieged andconquered, it has to have been out-thought before it can be outfought. A siege can be described as an assault on an opposing force attempting to defend itself from behind a position of some strength. Whenever the pendulum of technology swings against the "status quo," the defenders of a fortification have usually been compelled to surrender.This book contains examples of sieges, both successful and unsuccessful, demonstrating that no matter how securely a fortress or defensive position isconstructed and defended, eventually a good plan and a determined besieger can overcome it. One way or another, time, willpower and determined effort will be brought together in sufficient quantity and quality to bring a siege or a defense to a successful conclusion. It will be argued through the examples presented in this book that ultimately, "no fortress is impregnable."

The book gained a five-star rating from D.A.M, a reviewer, who said, "The poetic phrases are candid, swift, engaging, profound, and colorful." Another reviewer, M.

Family Matters examines the disjunct between upward-mobile successfultechnocrats, living in enviable suburban comfort, and their nearby blue- collar counterparts, many haunted by a sense of personal insignificance as lifelong jobs are eliminated or disappear altogether. From computer-savvy Barry Byrnes, forced into early retirement, to union leaders Jamie McClintock and Paul Doran, struggling to save a century-old industry in the heart of the picturesque Chesapeake Bay area, we collide against mutually opposed economic and family concerns. The effect is a profound cultural fracture, the central concern of the novel.
