From the Foreword written by Coach John Wooden: "In his latest book, Stew explores the soul-searching questions man has asked since he first walked upright and goes on to examine his relationship to a loving God. It is a deep and insightful look at what it means to be human and why we are here. He reminds us that there is a wonderful purpose for our existence, but it cannot be fulfilled without a strong connection to Almighty God. Disconnected from Him, 'we are nothing more than dust.' But in concert with Him, we can achieve the greatness He intended for each of us. To be sure, we often stumble. We can be weak, proud, arrogant, cruel, lazy, and unfeeling. But we can also be generous, strong, selfless, creative, kind, and loving. We only rise to our best selves when we seek God's help. Apart from Him, we are nothing." This inspirational and uplifting book covers these areas (and many more!): - Jesus, God's Gift to Mankind - Even the Saints Were Sinners - Have a Daily Conversation with God - Our Connection to Those Who Have Died - Be a Better Person Today Than You Were Yesterday - Taking Blessings for Granted - Accumulating Wealth and Possessions - Comparing Ourselves to Others - Aging Gracefully - Regretting the Past and Worrying about the Future - The Power of Gratitude - Tapping into the Wisdom of Seniors - What is "Success"? - What Will Your Epitaph Say?

Alan Llewellyn, high school classmate of President James Kehoe, resigned from his high school teaching job a year ago to head up a sub-rosa truth-checking shop for his old classmate. His task: to eyeball and review Intelligence Community products that hit President Kehoe's desk. In checking a paper on Arab extremists in Europe, Alan has the temerity to add a footnote--based on sparse but serious collected info--suggesting that a major terrorist plot against the United States is brewing in Europe. This grabs the immediate attention of the President and results in Alan being sent to Hamburg, Germany. There, he picks up several crucial clues, including a violent confrontation in his hotel, which suggests that the terrorists are on to him. Returning to Virginia, he and his crowd start to amass the indicators that a small cabal of Arab terrorists is indeed coming to the U.S. via Cuba bent on doing serious harm. In Havana, a Yemeni military attaché is clandestinely facilitating the plot against America by procuring illegal explosives from a Cuban military source and arranging transport for the terrorists from Cuba to the Florida Keys. A beautiful Italian double agent uses her talents to bring some elements of this plot to light. By means both fair and foul, Alan and his troops are able to track the terrorists as they descend on their targets in the D. C. area, culminating in a violent and personal confrontation. This is Allan Llewellyn at his gut-wrenching and exciting best!
This is my story how over 9 days I dropped 15 pounds (approx. 8 kg). I am sharing my personal experience and what I learned with you.
If you desire a greater understanding of the unconditional love of God, then this is a must-read book. You are saved by grace and kept by a grace, which is apart from your performance. The glorious liberty we have received as Christians was won for us by a God who loved us enough to die in our place. His death and resurrection purchased for us this liberty and the eternal life He now offers. We must choose the truth and defend this liberty daily if we are to walk out the victory He gained on our behalf. The Word of God boldly proclaims these wonderful truths provided by a wonderfully good God. The Word of God tells us, as believers, that the kingdom of God resides in us. We've entered this kingdom by hearing and receiving the truth, and we defend these kingdom truths by allowing them access into our hearts and choosing to reject the lies of the enemy. The ancient Hebrews defended their cities with thick walls and fortified gates, which were the access points into their cities. They had to know who to allow in and who to keep out. The kingdom that resides in us as believers has gates as well, which must be guarded. Join author David Niedenfuer in this fascinating study of God's grace using the concept of "gates" as described in God's Word.
IT'S CLOSING TIME . . . The Tribulation is here - NOW. God is coming back for His Church... But before He does, Earl and Joyce have a special mission to complete. The Church Age is about to end, bringing the world to the fearfully-anticipated Seventieth Week of Daniel, the final seven-year period spoken of by the prophet Daniel in Chapter Nine of his book in the Bible. Daniel's Seventieth Week dovetails with Jesus' description of the Time of the End in Matthew 24 and His yet more detailed description of the Great Tribulation and its awesome terrors in His Revelation to John. Earl and Joyce have found and treasured their second chance for love as told in the prequel Buddy. Now they find themselves in the midst of the transition from the Church Age to the restoration of Israel as the apple of God's eye, put on hold at the Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection. Israel might find itself in God's favor, but first she has to survive, because it's also the time of Jacob's Trouble as spoken of in the thirtieth chapter of the prophet Jeremiah. But God through Jeremiah also promised to save Israel out of her woes and, like the words of the prophet Zechariah who said that salvation would come to all of Israel, told her that He would be their God forever. God can do this by Himself, but that's not the way He works. Instead He is choosing a few very special and courageous people out of His Church to endure the worst of the Tribulation while they help with the restoration of Israel. Earl and Joyce are among these key people, and their mission will bring danger and pain to their doorstep as an increasingly dictatorial and self-serving society attempts to thwart God's plans.
LOVE- The fundamental driving force behind all human relationships. The inexpressible joy of love fulfilled, and the profound agony of love frustrated. The empty desolation of indifference. The glory of God. To know God intimately is to know the love that is shared within the Godhead, binding Father, Holy Spirit and Son together as a Divine Family, forever inseparable and eternally loving. The love within the Godhead is so brilliant that it radiates outward in the Light of Christ, embracing Creation and infusing us with its benign rays. Woefully, the Church herself has suppressed the full brilliance of this Light in the name of a false purity. She has for centuries covered the lamp of God's love, denying the Church the ability to openly obey God's greatest commandment, that of loving God intimately and intuitively with all our hearts, souls and minds. Something drastic happened to the early Church that involved the tampering of its basic precepts and even the interpretation of Scripture. Lurking in the background almost from the beginning of the Church, it gained influence around the time that Constantine changed the status of the Church from a persecuted and repressed movement to a state religion. This Christian nonfiction work addresses the root of this enormous error and its historic and ongoing debilitating effect on the Church. An alternative vision of God is presented to the reader, and its basic truth is examined in the light of Scripture, which the author embraces as inspired and inerrant in the original.
The true story of my life: A Russian girl born during war at the edge of the ancient habitat of the Finns in northwestern Russia, eventually making my way to America.
U.S. Navy Captain and former Commanding Officer Stew Fisher has the wisdom of years of experience leading men and women in large organizations. In this book, he highlights some of the great leaders of history who have inspired him: Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and many others who brought about great change to society through their own ability to lead. Stew Fisher is still a student of leadership and this book will benefit others with his own experiences and studies. It starts with self-mastery: striving for excellence, not perfection. He then walks the reader through how to improve on personal interactions and then extending that to team leadership. Finally, he concludes with leaving a legacy and a legion of future leaders. Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, who wrote the Foreword before he passed away, had this to say about Leave a Legacy "Stew reveals the secrets great leaders have known throughout the ages: Inspiring leadership comes from the heart, not the head. Too often, however, the leadership we see being used today focuses on 'management techniques' and totally misses what true leadership really is. Leave a Legacy is a timeless and wonderful book that you will want to keep on the shelf and refer to often. It explores the very same principles I used in my long coaching career at UCLA, and more importantly, as a father and a husband."
A book of Russian poetry. From the back cover is this translated description from the author: "The chemist scientist Dmitry Mendeleev, the periodic table he discovered. The people knew him as a tactful man. He introduced himself to students every time, we should not ignore this tradition, either. In rhyming text I'll try to do the same. So here I am, Litvinova Angelina (my name I shortened on the cover, I didn't want to spoil it with its length) My age announced in rhyme. (A tiny tot I was during wartime). And later on I studied, cured people, and even earned an academic title... My debt "to health" I paid to science. My daughter, grandkids gave me. This book to them I dedicated. I hope they grow and have the best of luck. These little boys give meaning to my life."

Somehow, they must find a way to reach the besieged Jewish homeland of Israel to share the knowledge that the Holy Spirit has imparted to them.Their adventures merge into the events foretold long ago by Jesus and the ancient prophets Daniel, Ezekiel and Zechariah as the world, driven by power-drunk madmen under the control of their evil master Satan, heads unavoidably into the final Battle of Armageddon. As in the previous two novels of the Buddy Series, the adventures color insights into the nature of God that are suitable for an in-depth Bible Study of concepts and associations rarely, if ever, presented to the lay public.

Through a crisis of faith, hope emerges. The author explores his crisis of faith when his sister, Peggy, dies at age 40 from complications due to diabetes. Through creative application of images and metaphor, employing the cicada (heat bug) and the phoebe, this memoir takes the reader on a personal journey of humor, poignancy and struggle that ultimately ends with a sense of hope. If you grew up in Smalltown, U.S.A. - and even if you didn't - "Sting of the Heat Bug" will take you home. Stealing strawberries, trying to make sense of the secret code of adult-speak, dealing with unexpected pain - it's all here. I highly recommend this book. -Susan Campbell, award-winning former columnist at The Hartford Courant, and the author of the memoir "Dating Jesus" and the biography, "Tempest-Tossed: The Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker". When he was a boy, Jack Sheedy's father told him that it was necessary to embellish when telling a story-and in this rich and moving memoir, Jack has done just that, looking again at the reality of his childhood through the lens of his adult imagination. This special kind of re-visioning brings the truth of the past into a sharp, emotional focus that goes far beyond the mere recalling of events-and gives us a beautifully written story of love and loss, of a certain historical time and of a certain family, and of a bond between brother and sister that even death cannot destroy. In this moving and beautifully written memoir, Jack Sheedy looks back to his childhood-to his family, his town, his time in history-not with an attempt to get every detail "right", but to tell about the complex bond between a brother and a sister, one that emerges in memories that have, over time, been burnished by imagination. In "Sting of the Heat Bug", Jack not only gives us the story of a love that cannot be broken by time or death, but also engages us in a conversation about the interaction of memory and fiction and how, even when specific actual details have been lost, it is the essential emotional truth that remains. -Cortney Davis, author of "The Heart's Truth: Essays on the Art of Nursing" and "Leopold's Maneuvers".

Do you want to share the good news of Jesus, but not sure how to get started? Need some tips on how to break the ice and talk about your faith to family, friends and acquaintances? "100 Conversation Starters: Practical Help for Sharing Your Faith" is a wonderful "how to" that will provide you with ways to easily talk about your faith in everyday conversation that is not off-putting or threatening. Understanding and following these conversation starters is a stress-free way to help you reach a deeper level in conversing with others without the fear of offending them. You will learn to share your faith in a truly authentic way that those around you will come to appreciate. In a recent survey, a third of all believers asked had never once shared the gospel, or even their testimony, with a non-believer. Practical help is needed. That's why this book was written. Most of us have experienced the frustration of not knowing what to say or how to get started. But we can learn to start conversations by using associations from everyday life; to share our faith in a way that is easy for others to understand. Jesus himself did this. He invited fishermen to become fishers of men. To a woman drawing water from a well, He offered living water that would never run dry. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Jesus knew just what to say and how to relate to every person He met. The same Spirit that enabled Jesus to hear and perceive what His Father wanted said and done is now inside of each of His disciples! God often will bring people into your life just so you can share your faith with them. "100 Conversation Starters" will help you do that.

"I need a sanity check," said the President of the United States. "What?" I said. "The clowns in the Intelligence Community are so damned politicized that I have no idea whether what I'm getting is useful, actionable intelligence or political flapdoodle. So I need you to give it a sanity check." So begins math teacher and ex Naval Officer Alan Llewellyn's danger-fraught trek into the murky wilds of the U. S. Intelligence Community and the even more toxic forest of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. In Sanity Check, Alan is hired by Jim Kehoe, his high school classmate and now President of the U.S., to form a small secret group to execute a sanity check on material that Kehoe gets from the U.S. Intelligence Community. While setting up his sub rosa group, Alan stumbles upon covert activities of China's intelligence service which has agents deep undercover in Richmond, Virginia. Action oscillates between clandestine espionage and bloody violence in this shadow-war.
