This is a unique, humorous, inspirational, encouraging, faith-building, faith-challenging story of endurance, perseverance, and reconciliation. It will make you laugh and it will make you think. Why does God bother to do the things He does in our lives?

The following stories are an attempt to show the extraordinary lengths the Lord went through, the situations I encountered, the people whose paths crossed my life and the key, often humorous, moments that occurred to teach me, to correct me, to stop me or point me in the right direction.

Desperate Journey: Escape from Burma in 1942, through 900 miles of arduous, Japanese-occupied territory by Francis Clifford (Lume Books) (320 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

"This is a story of escape; a true account of how a dwindling group of soldiers made their way to safety through nearly a thousand miles of Japanese-occupied territory in the teeth of the monsoon." On 20th April 1942, Captain Thompson received word that the defensive line held by their Chinese allies had broken; orders or no orders, he knew they had to move. Separated from the rest of the Burma Army and weary from months of continuous fighting retreats, the survivors of his Karen Company began their long walk northwards. In the suffocating Burmese jungle the days turned to weeks, the weeks into months, and all the while the mental decay kept pace with their physical deterioration. And yet, with such indomitable men as Subedar-Major Kan Choke and Subedar Ba Gyaw at Thompson's side, his Company clung to each other and endured. When Fort Hertz finally came into view in August, the journey of nine hundred miles and untold maladies had left many of them little more than walking skeletons. Written in 1944 but remaining unseen for over thirty years, Desperate Journey is an extraordinary true story of human endeavour, of faith, courage, tenacity and mutual trust in the face of insurmountable odds. Praise for Francis Clifford: 'Not since Graham Greene was creating his adventures has there been a writer with such haunting quality, the sweet sound of sad beauty, which Clifford engenders' - New York Herald Tribune 'Mr. Clifford constructs an anatomy of fear, drawing in with fine, sharp lines the exposed and shrinking nerves' - The Times Francis Clifford is a pen name of Arthur Leonard Bell Thompson , a British writer of crime and thriller novels. He was born in Bristol, served with great distinction in the Second World War, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.

Thirteen Times That the Lord Has Spoken Directly to My Heart by James Thomas Lee Jr Price verified 11 hours ago

What I am about to say might sound confusing. But it is not meant to be. First, this book is about me. But second, it is NOT about me. In the following pages, I will share thirteen times from my life when the Lord had spoken directly to me. For the first three times, I had NOT known what was happening. For the last ten times plus one, I had been fully aware of what was happening. So in that sense, this book is about me. It will share fourteen experiences from my life. But this book is not really about me because the goal is to show how anyone can have the same kind of close personal relationship with the Lord that I have had. There are certain things that anyone can do to bring himself or herself into the Lord's presence. Hopefully by the time that the reader has gotten to the end of the final chapter, some fresh ideas will come to mind about how to make that relationship happen. I have wanted to write this book for a very long time. So maybe, this will be my final book. But as always, my desire has been to bring praise, honor, and glory to the Lord. He is worthy because of all that He does and has done for those who have come to Him.

A Prairie Cookbook: Memories and Recipes by Philip Wik (A Blue Kitten Book) (98 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

A Prairie Cookbook has recipes that were used to satisfy the hunger of pioneering families in the Midwestern United States. I must frame your expectations before you read this book. These aren't Old Country recipes. They're recipes from the Midwest from the turn of the last century. You'll find better recipes on how to make ox-tail soup, for example, on the internet and from other books, complete with full-spread glossy color illustrations. If you read this book for culinary how-to instructions or the art of gourmet, you'll be missing the point. Rather, my goal is to open a window into a vanishing world through the doorway of taste. This book provides another dimension to understanding the lives of our ancestors. These recipes are as simple and as unpolished as those who worked the land. And yet they invoke an atmosphere that other histories may not fully capture. They become a kind of a time portal into the past. Crushed tomato leaves are an example for me. Their smell magically transports me back to my grandmother's tomato garden when I was five years old. For you, it might be the smell of a holiday dinner or freshly baked cookies. Despite the hardships they faced, the people of the plains had high aspirations and ideals. In 1918, my grandmother Emma's husband Nicholas died during the Spanish flu pandemic that raged at the time. And yet she saw all eleven of her children go to college before and during the Great Depression. These memoirs help provide the context in which these meals were lovingly prepared, for children, grandparents, and field hands, and for holidays, weddings, funerals, and for daily life. Both these recipes and the memoirs give us a glimpse of an important time in the history of our nation and give us insight into the simple but strong character of the homesteaders of the Midwest.

Donut Hole: A Marine’s Real-Life Battles in Vietnam During 1967 and 68 Marines, 1st Force Logistical Command Clutch Platoon by R.C. Lebeau (419 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This Book is in Color... Pocket Size book. This book does not explore the religious aspects of war. Your very belief is tested in combat, you must kill your enemy, or your enemy will kill you - that is the simple, hard cold fact. Because in my humble opinion, War is hell on Earth. Evil roams freely in War, and it will kill you, one way or another, with its evil intent. Nightmares are common and, in their fantasy, never reflect the real horror and the reality that War can bring to your mind. No matter what your personal spiritual beliefs are, you will be tested. The conduct of your intent will be your judge for life. It is your second guessing that can be dangerous to you. A wise Philosopher once said in Greece, "If you want real peace, you must always prepare for War." This book is about war. It tells my experiences of the paths I took as a United States Marine in Vietnam. The mouths of many soldiers will say the same - the same soldiers who had shared my paths with the experiences of my many paths in life. I have not shared these words or reflections with anyone, except in bits and pieces, and that too, with other veterans in the form of bunker talk.

Lost World of the Himalayas, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking by M.G. Hawking (1 Review)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Composed from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking's five years in remote areas of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into a legendary lost world, a journey that leads to the discovery of the most refined and powerful knowledge possessed by the human race. Many years ago, on an extended trek into an inner region of the vast wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range, Hawking chanced on an unexpected find. In a majestic valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful small village. In that community, called Siddhalaya by its residents, he had the privilege of meeting a number of truly extraordinary men and women. This encounter marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his adventures, experiences, and conversations with those highly enlightened individuals. Over the past several years the team at Wisdom Masters Press, in association with Hawking, has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on his journals and field notes. This was a daunting assignment; Hawking had accumulated hundreds of pages of hand-written journal entries and field notes, all of which had to be sorted and cataloged. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one that could not have been accomplished without the assistance and encouragement of some of the extraordinary individuals Hawking met in the Himalayas, all of whom you will meet in the pages of our books. From the Author: "The knowledge of the masters is profound and powerful, and one hopes it will have relevance to others, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly expand their knowledge and power, will be validated by their experience, or, at the very least, will stimulate them to search further on their own. The philosophy expressed by the masters reflects as well the broader context and search of our culture at this particular stage of its development. The evolutionary ...

Mike Tyson: The Boxing Legend Revealed by Cha Bowman (14 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Who is Mike Tyson? Love him or hate him, Mike Tyson is a legend. He propelled boxing to new heights during his reign as the heavy weight champ in the 1980's and early 1990's. Along with courting success inside the ring however, he courted just as much controversy outside of it. He was born into a poor family in one of the roughest sections of the Bronx, to an unstable mother and increasingly uncertain conditions. Mike Tyson was seemingly dealt a bad hand from the very beginning, and due to his short stature and his high pitched voice, he was the constant target of bullies. It was all the bullies, and other demons in his life that led Tyson to box. He then rose up through the boxing ranks like the ultimate gladiator, until he made it clear that this former target of bullies was not going to be bullied anymore! But like some tragic hero from antiquity, Tyson often proved to be his own Achilles heel, and his out of control behavior would be his own downfall. Sure, he was troubled. But he was also one of a kind. So much so, that we just keep right on asking the question; who is Mike Tyson?

Pompey the Great: The Life and Legacy of the Legendary Roman General Who Lost the Civil War to Julius Caesar by Charles River Editors Price verified 7 hours ago

Possibly the most important man of antiquity, and even all of history, was Julius Caesar. Alexander Hamilton, the famous American patriot, once remarked that "the greatest man who ever lived was Julius Caesar". Such a tribute, coming from one of the Founding Fathers of the quintessential modern democracy in reference to a man who destroyed the Roman Republic, is testament to the enduring mark that Caesar left upon the world. The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. . Even in his time, Caesar was in many ways larger than life, and because of his legacy as virtual founder of the Roman Empire, much of what was written about - and by - him during his life and immediately after his assassination was politically motivated. The fact that he was murdered on the Ides of March is universal knowledge, but it's often forgotten that he was stabbed while entering the Curia of Pompey, one of the Senate's meeting places, in March of 44 BCE. The curia was a theater dedicated to Pompey the Great, Caesar's rival in the civil war that ended the Republic and made Caesar dictator. When Caesar was stabbed, he fell at the base of a colossal statue of Pompey. Thanks to Caesar's victory in the civil war, Pompey is mostly remembered not for being one of Rome's greatest generals, but for being defeated by Caesar and then ignominiously murdered after he fled to Egypt, where the boy pharaoh Ptolemy XIII decapitated Pompey and offered his head to Caesar as a gift. Although Caesar was there chasing Pompey's men, he quickly became involved in Egypt's own civil war. As a consequence of Ptolemy's barbarity, Caesar impulsively decided to side with his sister Cleopatra in her bid for the throne of Egypt, escalating what was rapidly ...

The Narrative of Sojourner Truth by Sojourner Truth (1,554 Review)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

From slavery to liberation to life as an abolitionist, feminist, orator, and preacher -- the autobiography of a woman who refused to be anything but free. Born into slavery in New York around 1797, then sold from master to master, Sojourner Truth spent her formative years witnessing the cruelty inherent in the institution of slavery. Escaping to a friendly household before emancipation, she learned that her young son had been sold illegally and launched a lawsuit that would end with his release -- the first time in America that a black woman went to court against a white man and won. But Truth hadn't even begun her work. She made it her life's mission to free all those who were considered less than equal -- both those in chains and those held down because of their gender -- ultimately inspiring her friends and followers with the legendary speech that came to be known as "Ain't I a Woman?" So great was Truth's renown and respect that she met with President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. She was later named one of the 100 Most Significant Americans of All Time by Smithsonian magazine. Published in 1850, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth was spoken aloud to Truth's friend and neighbor Olive Gilbert, as she herself was illiterate. Along with The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, it remains one of the most moving and eloquent slave narratives -- a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

That's Why You're Here: A Journey From Grief To Metaphysical Awareness by Erin G. Burrell (74 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

A catalyst for change can take many forms. For author, Erin Burrell, that life-altering moment began with a jarring knock at the door. A solemn detective delivered the news that a loved one had died. The grief and heart-splitting loss sent her groping for answers. In her search, she was drawn toward an unexpected path - towards the metaphysical. After reading several books about psychic mediums, Erin wondered if she too might be able to connect with her deceased loved one. It was during this time of metaphysical exploration that it was suggested to Erin that she learn the Tarot to expand her own intuitive abilities. The notion took hold, even though she had no knowledge of the Tarot. Erin studied and then took a leap of faith and began to give Tarot readings to the public. It became evident that something bigger was in play. Guided by Spirit, Erin was able to provide comfort to others through the cards. Over time, she noticed a pattern. The people who came to her were going through situations that she had already experienced. In the midst of a read, it would be come clear why someone had been drawn to her. Once their shared experience was discovered, Erin would often say, "That's why you're here!" Never a writer, Erin was surprised when she was suddenly compelled to write about her experiences. The book grew out of the sessions with her clients. Erin's journey out of grief to metaphysical awareness is unique and a path less taken. Her personal stories of overcoming difficult life challenges are interspersed among her clients' Tarot readings. "That's Why You're Here" is distinctive and inspiring.

The 20th Century’s Most Influential Artists: The Lives and Art of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock by Charles River Editors (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Picasso is one of the world's most famous artists, which adds to the challenge of examining his career, but it's necessary to examine his entire career because of the way art was intertwined with his life. Even from an early age, it was clear that he subordinated any external concerns relating to his life in the interest of making art, which may have been the cause of the spirit of melancholy that can be found in his artwork. At the same time, the somber tone of some of his work can be directly contrasted against his playful formal experimentation. In his review of Salvador Dali's first autobiography, George Orwell declared that "One ought to be able to hold in one's head simultaneously the two facts that Dali is a good draughtsman and a disgusting human being." Whether or not one agrees with the famous author's assessment, Orwell captures the polarizing nature of Salvador Dali, and the extent to which his undeniable technical virtuosity often brushed against his penchant for provoking his audiences (not to mention provoking long-entrenched standards of "proper" taste). Dali, after all, was unafraid to eschew Renaissance perspective, thereby incorporating often graphic subject matter. In other words, if Dali stands as one of the canonical figures of modern art, this involved holding both a seminal role in the canon of cutting-edge art but also a tendency to challenge audiences, challenging the contours of "Art with a Capital A." In August of 1949, Life magazine famously began a lengthy article on Jackson Pollock with the headline "Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?" By that time, Pollock was already well-established in the American art world, the beneficiary of laudatory critical assessments, commercial success, and the support of the influential Peggy Guggenheim (who had helped launch his career with a major show six years earlier). However, to the relatively uninitiated readership of a middlebrow publication like Life, the article sent ...

The 21 Wives of Goel Ratzon: True Crime Story by Hadas Cohen (6 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Submission, faith, and devious lust - Inside the polygamous cult that shocked the world. In January 2010, a large police force blocked several narrow streets of a South Tel Aviv neighborhood, converging on a sprawling multifamily home enclosed by 5-foot walls. As curious neighbors peered through their shut blinds, a SWAT team stormed the property and emerged with their target: an enigmatic 59-year-old guru, Goel Ratzon. But who was this man, claiming to possess every masculine trait a woman could desire, dozens of wives and over a hundred children? "The 21 Wives of Goel Ratzon" stands as one of the most shocking cult stories of recent years, yet it remains largely unknown outside Israel due to a press embargo. The story unravels the disturbing saga of Ratzon, a self-proclaimed spiritual teacher and Kabbalah practitioner, who claimed to open the gates of heaven for young women who agreed to erase their ego, become his wives, and bear his offspring. Esteemed as an elusive underground character, whose spiritual circle was strictly invite-only, Ratzon came under the scrutiny of Tel Aviv police following an outcry from several families whose daughters disappeared without a trace into Ratzon's underworld, often luring their cousins and sisters to join his polygamous family as well. The question that loomed after Ratzon's conviction and a 30-year prison sentence was: How did one man so profoundly enchant dozens of intelligent, beautiful women and compel them to bear him up to 9 children each, fund his opulent lifestyle, and embrace polygamy?

Omnipotent: Don't Ask, Don't Tell by William Dorsch (Independently Published by William Dorsch) (19 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

We expect that criminals will lie but not the police. Bill Dorsch a retired Chicago homicide detective understood that people when accused of committing crimes, especially in homicide cases, would make conscious decisions to lie when questioned. He hated being lied to but his task as an investigator was to discover the truth no matter where it would take him. He worked hard to gather evidence and testimony from individuals that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator. The accumulation of his work was always focused on the presentation of his investigation at a later time in the courtroom. Only then, could the families of homicide victims find the answers that would hopefully bring closure to the loss of a loved one. John Wayne Gacy was a monster of a man who walked among us. Not only the families of his victims; but citizens, especially those who lived in the Chicago area expected that law enforcement had done a complete and thorough investigation. Dorsch knew Gacy and even had dinner in his home, the very home where the bodies of so many of his victims were later found. After Gacy's arrest, Dorsch responded to law enforcement requests to the public for information about possible victims and locations. However, that information was not welcomed and he was told "We don't want any more bodies" The City of Chicago rushed to get the case into court and obtain a conviction. The authorities had ended their investigation with Gacy's arrest. With a heartless disregard for the victim's families, known and unknown, they not only buried Gacy but the truth along with him.

Left-Side Lie: Surviving Narcissistic Abuse and Federal Fraud Discovery by Dee Ashby (56 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

What if Prince Charming was a predator? Debut author Dee Ashby and her former husband Ty said their "I dos" on a sunny, Texas Hill Country afternoon in April 2015. Dee was head-over-heels in love with her tall, handsome, athletic G.I. Joe and could not wait to spend the rest of her life with this perfect-in-every-way man. Less than six months into their fairytale marriage, Ty developed some debilitating medical conditions, the result of injuries sustained during combat missions abroad. The most devastating complication was full left-side paralysis, which confined the decorated Army warrant officer to a wheelchair, forcing him to medically retire from the military and go on Disability. Having promised to love Ty in sickness and in health, Dee rose to the challenge of navigating life with a newly physically disabled husband. She educated herself on his various conditions, attended all of his doctors' appointments, purchased a wheelchair-accommodating home, and continued to work a corporate job (for which she commuted two hours each way) to pay for their livelihood, all while helping to care for Ty and his three boys. Dee was so honor-bound that even on her darkest days, she never regretted falling for Prince Charming. That is, until she accidentally discovered Ty was fabricating his paralysis. Her Captain America was a clever conman posing as an attentive husband, loving father, upstanding citizen, and honorable disabled veteran. LEFT-SIDE LIE is the unbelievable true story of a man who stopped at nothing to manufacture a handicap for sympathetic and financial gain, and the woman who stopped at nothing to expose the painful truth. A four-year federal fraud investigation later, Ty is facing the consequences and Dee is taking steps to educate would-be victims like her on the dangers of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Factitious Disorder, and ignoring red flags.

Madonna's New Age End Time Satanism: A Revelation by Stacey Dames (25 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

For the past thirty years, Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone has captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans. Despite critics declaring her career over, she triumphantly claimed the world stage at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show. Her presence set a world record with an astonishing one-hundred and fourteen million viewers. However, the real show took place minutes later as online social media-sites were inundated with feedback. Twitter reported Madonna as the most tweeted subject, with over ten-thousand posts per second! Everyone, it seemed, wanted to analyze the twelve-minute occult extravaganza. This worldwide televised event had many, for the first time, taking a closer look at Madonna's art. But where had everyone been for the last twenty-nine years? If you recollect, Madonna made headlines every time she colored her hair, went jogging, or started another relationship. Thanks to the paparazzi reporting her every move, Madonna appeared to be omnipresent. Let's not forget the music, videos, concerts, and skillful button-pushing. Still the undisputed heavyweight champion of the latter, Madonna refuses to part with her rusty, old belt. Precisely, as her musical predecessors, she has offended everyone at some point in her career. However, her central target is Christianity. Claiming that crucifixes are sexy because there's a naked man on them, and stating that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had relations is typical trash talk for Madonna. Rarely is she without one of her grotesque crucifixes, or twisting Scripture to suit her agenda. Without missing a beat, Madonna is set to release her thirteenth studio album sometime this year. And snippets of the new song, "Messiah" was purposely leaked to the public. Much ink has been wasted over the years as psychologists, feminists, and others attempt to solve the mystery that is Madonna. It's not difficult to figure out. Madonna doesn't have an ego problem; she has a sin problem. And it's getting worse. Unrepentant ...

Confessions of a Hot Mess Lady Pastor: I Don't Have it All Together by Amy DeWitt (20 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

I'm not famous. I haven't spoken at massive rallies or inspired large crowds... to do anything. I'm just an average lady without any major accomplishments to my name. I have never really been much of anything, or anybody. I guess that's why I should write a book. Maybe I'm more relatable as a nobody! Can't you relate more to the run-of-the-mill, average, hot mess friend than the one with spotless, white carpet and shining stainless steel appliances without one fingerprint on them? Most Christian books I've read, especially those written by pastor's wives, are sweet, but unrelatable. These women seem to have it all together, captivating their audiences with their words of profound wisdom, and you have the hope that you, too, can achieve their perfection. Each time I read one of these sanguinely sweet books, I feel more defeated than encouraged. I can't live up to these standards. Books that are so full of ridiculous optimism and a sense of unearthly perfection. I aim for perfection. I strive for it. I dream of the perfectly decorated shabby chic home with everything in its place. I reach for the goal of defeating the colossal mountain of laundry, the eternal pile of dirty dishes; but alas, it defeats me every time. In fact, I dare say it not only defeats me, but it mocks me. Laughing at my languishing spirit. I endeavor to be the trophy pastor's wife; to achieve the best ratio of smiles to casseroles. But what happens when the pastor's wife sucks at making casseroles? Or when she doesn't feel like smiling when you tell her what a horrible job she or her husband is doing? This book is my attempt to bring some humor, truth, and a bit of hope, in a time when it's needed most. Stories took straight out of the screenplay of my everyday life, to encourage you in yours.
