¿Cómo se puede construir un refugio exitoso para personas sin hogar que sea legal, práctico y económico sin costo para el contribuyente? Un grupo de voluntarios sin hogar liderados por un ingeniero aeroespacial retirado junto con corporaciones sin nes de lucro e iglesias preocupadas se lanzaron a la refriega e hicieron precisamente eso. Pero no sin cometer errores y correr riesgos por el camino. Nadie podría haber predicho lo controvertido que sería brindar refugio a nuestros vecinos que no tenían un lugar donde vivir. “Vamos a construir un refugio para perros moderno con $7 millones, pero no se molesten en pedirle al condado o a la ciudad ni un centavo para ayudar a nuestros ciudadanos
sin hogar”.
Entonces, la verdadera pregunta es: “¿Cómo se construye un refugio para personas sin hogar que funcione y sea aceptable para toda la comunidad sólo con donaciones?” Este libro cuenta la historia del esfuerzo de una comunidad de la Sierra para responder esta pregunta y cómo su éxito demostró que se podía hacer; sin embargo, su éxito también puso al poder de la ciudad en su contra.
Cuando se hizo evidente que el refugio era un éxito y que las personas sin hogar prosperaban, la estructura de poder de la ciudad se unió y lo cerró, expulsando a cuarenta hombres y mujeres sin hogar de su refugio en medio del invierno sin un lugar donde vivir.
Pero el genio ya ha salido de la botella y los ocupantes de este pequeño pueblo minero de oro saben cómo hacerlo la próxima vez. Están dispuestos a intentarlo de nuevo hasta tener éxito, aunque todos los intereses empresariales, políticos y de poder estén decididos a impedirlo. Esta historia cuenta cómo se hizo, cómo se puede hacer y cómo evitar errores graves en el camino.

Price range: $3.99 through $24.99What would you do if you found a little black book that revealed the true secrets of success? How would you react to the innocuous yet mysterious phrases, brimming with hidden meanings, which awaited you the first day? Naturally your aroused curiosity would drive you to read another phrase the next day, and the cycle would go on.
In Small Dreams have no Magic (The Key to Success), author Roger F. Johnsrud gives us Jonathan, a young stable worker, who finds, ” The Key to Success”, a book which seems to hold the magical power to bring him the success he so very many desires. Jonathan lives in a time long ago when kingdom-based societies flourished, and selfless goodwill abounds in daily life.
By chance he meets Heather, a young woman who holds the promises to a new life in the form of a homemade secret formula. Jonathan risks his future by leaving his job to run a business with Heather and his friends.
Along the way, Jonathan acquires the respect of noblemen and the generous assistance of local businessmen, gathering new friends and assistance while looking to build the business and doing his best to understand the magic within the book.
Small Dreams Have No Magic is invigorating and rewarding, while at the same time educational and spiritually uplifting. The author creates his characters and story line in such a way as to teach us very important moral directives about avoiding the negative temptations of life, helping those that try to help themselves, and never letting determination slip away in the fear that our dreams won’t come true.

What Kind of House Are You?
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99In the Bible, it presents the picture of God’s love, judgement, mercy, and grace, and when we are faced with that type of perfection, we ask the question how. In John 15:4, Jesus says, “Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” I asked the question how–one of many questions asked through this walk with the Lord–and the pages of this book is the reply to the question the Lord asked through the Holy Spirit.
This book is about a conversation that was had between Calvin with God through the Holy Spirit. In everyone there is a need to know a higher being, to know the purpose for being and how to obtain it. During one of many periods of contemplating the Lord entered in and began to discuss, His purpose for us and how He made a home for us so that He could have fellowship with us. He then asks the question of How would you have done it, {to make a home for him}, so this book is the answer to God’s question.
This book was written for those of us who are always seeking to know who God is, to what purpose He created us for and how are we qualified to do the work. It is my hope that the reader of this book who have this hole in their lives that cannot be filled will come to the understanding that God’s Love will fill it, if they seek Him with a sincere heart He will come in and have fellowship with them. This book is not for those who have learned the importance of the cross but for those who are trying to find their way to the cross.
