Act of God
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99So often we ask, “Where is God?”
In tragedies like cancer, life long disabilities, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wild fires, famines, earthquakes, and pandemics of late – it is so painfully human to cry out from the darkness with a desperate, yearning soul for an answer to this dire question. In our suffering, it is easy to forget just where He was over 2,000 years ago, and that is on a bludgeoned and bloodied cross where He absolved the sins of the world in His own flesh, mind, and spirit. You see, of all religions, Christianity is unique. We do not presume that we go to Heaven because we have been good. As any faithful student of proper doctrine knows, we go to Heaven – because Christ has been good. And that is the most significant and paramount act of God that can sustain us in the bleakest, most overwhelming times. So the real question should be…will we let it?
In this collection, you will be taken into the depths of human suffering through autobiographical short stories and poetic verses. But from that suffering, you will see the glorious ascension into victory that can only be afforded through this: The unyielding truth, yet amazing grace, of Jesus Christ.

Divided We Fall
Price range: $3.99 through $18.99What will the American people do when tyranny and political correctness become the law of the land? Where are the George Washingtons and Benjamin Franklins that we need today? Liberal leftist educators deliberately ignore the tyranny of the increasingly socialist movement of government under the guise of political correctness. What freedoms are we willing to surrender? Who of our youth are willing to serve in the armed forces?
Politicians continue to consolidate political power in their hands under the banner of political correctness and socialism, of spreading the wealth for everyone. The tyranny of socialism is being whitewashed by liberal educators who ignore the loss of freedoms it requires. The armed forces are controlled by the politicians which can become tools of repression. Will individual patriots rise to protect the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers? Where are the George Washingtons and Benjamin Franklins of today?
As the tyranny of political correctness grows to become the law of the land at the expense of individual thought, liberty, and justice, who will abide by it? Who will resist it? As politicians concentrate political power in their own hands, disarming the American people to deny them the means of physical resistance, where will the armed forces, allegedly under civilian control and commanded by the President, stand? What price are we, as individuals, willing to pay for our God-given freedoms?

2025
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99A surprise attack launched from the International Space Station will result in 95% of the urban and suburban U.S. population dying within two weeks due to starvation, violence, and the effects of radiation. There will be no time for a retaliatory strike as strategic assets are destroyed. Our cities will become jungles ruled for a short time by gangs that carve out their territory, seeking food, water, plunder, and rape. An EMP attack will immediately magnetize all internal combustion engines; airplanes will fall from the skies; all unprotected vehicles will immediately crash due to loss of control. Survivors will wait in vain for a return to normalcy. China invades the U.S. while Russia invades Europe. As Albert Einstein once remarked, “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I am confident that World War IV will be fought with sticks and rocks.” This is a story of survival.

TRACKS
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99America – land of opportunity – nation of immigrants.
There is a special magic to America. It comes from the diversity of its people.
Like the characters in Tracks they come from all over – places like Guadalajara, Chapala, Chihuahua and Zacatecas, Mexico, Kirkaldy, Scotland, Barnmeen, Ireland, Copenhagen, Denmark, disputed territory in the shadow of Mt. Ararat in the Caucasus Mountain Range, Bremerhaven, Germany, and Padua, Italy.
In 1919, when young Pedro Figueroa and Antonio Flores were refused seats to a travelling Shakespearian and Broadway show on a Saturday night in a saloon in Socorro, New Mexico, the lead actor stopped the show and took them aside. He offered these words of encouragement:
“You boys got to do the same things my folks did. Work hard. Raise a family. Make sure your kids get to school. Your day will come. This is a great country. Look, we got rid of slavery. Things get better all the time. Lives are lived in stages. Look at the caterpillar, crawling about, making little tracks
on the ground, and then it’s into a cocoon, and before long, it’s flying about, a butterfly.”
Tracks is a testament to the spirit of immigrants who come to America and make it a better place.

Add a full cast of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and several other hapless and sometimes flirtatious creatures, and you have a recipe for mishaps and hilarity.
And then there’s Harry himself: only son, besotted with his ever-expanding bug and coin collections, naïve to the wiles of certain young ladies of his acquaintance and never far from his own misadventures. The Care and Feeding of Harry is a fun-filled tale of Forrest Gumpian proportions. Prepare to enter Harry’s world, where nothing is sacred and each story is full of wit and irreverence. And find out why he detests chocolate.

Wrinkles
$3.99I think it was Maxim Gorky (lower depths) who once said that laughter not only opens the mouth to laugh but also opens the mind to thought.
In this book, there are many poems that give that food for thought, for consideration and debate, but I have added a humorous bent on much of the material, for as in my case at least, humour is a good, strong tool in dealing in many cases of diversity.
As for the rest of the book, well, it’s a mixture really with funny poems, well, just for a sake of a laugh.

You’ll read of the years of continued drug and alcohol abuse, the self defeating sabotaging of good things in my life, even when I was not aware of how I was destroying any hope of recovery. To be perfectly honest; I did not know if I wanted recovery. All I could feel was guilt and shame.
Then it happened; a supernatural experience with the Lord of all the earth. at night I received my salvation. Now I had hope! My life has not been the same since that night. Yes, there was still ups and downs and four more years of hospitalization, but this time it was different; I had a whole new outlook.

Ms. Alexander speaks of her poetic writings in this first volume as reflections of that which reside in the deep reaches of her being regarding the lover of her soul and her great indebtedness to Him.
In Christendom, the air [the Word] of our intake is more valuable than can be fully expressed, for its importance drives both our physical and spiritual existence. The intake of God’s Word is the breath of spiritual life that fuels our living. By it, we take in Jesus.
The INHALE compilations are designed and given by God to reflect the many facets of that inhale—what we take in, what it is designed to accomplish and to fortify in us, and what should come out of us as a result of its life-sustaining provision. May you soak up Jesus with every page. My prayerful desire is to inspire, edify, and encourage. Above all, I desire to drive you, to pull you into a greater depth of desire for my Jesus that you inhale deeply and in all that you get, get God.

The Helpmate
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99This is a well-orchestrated prose-work, fiction. Although events in the narratives are mirrored to reflect real life occurrences. It is a tragic story. A tale of struggles, hardship, fortune, survival and death. The Book has fifteen chapters in total running into 108 pages with intriguing starting ending narratives which qualifies the story as comical tragedy.
It touches on some cultural demeanors of people from certain tribes in Africa (Nigeria as a focus) where extra-marital affair is silently prevalent despite legality to engage in polygamy. The book: Helpmate muckrakes the evil of broken-homes and parental negligence on young adults. The strenuous roles of fending for self as a child and taking up the responsibility of an adult in the process of survival is pivotal incident within the pages.
Man’s love for beast is not always without the influence of what they could produce. This statement is justified by the roles the Dog: ‘Riro’ plays on Dara’s path to fulfillment. These unique roles have usually been sanctioned to be the reason why many pet-owners (especially in Africa) own their Dogs and cater for them and not really because of unaligning love for these animals. The story justifies this more with the dramatic risk of life efforts ‘Riro’ (the Dog) had to make to preserve Dara’s life whle the Dog owner-Dara could not be said to attempt similar efforts to the turn of substituting his own life to rescue the Dog when her own (the Dog’s) critical situation beckoned.
We dream, we hope, we expect with longings in life, but we do not know what tomorrow holds. This is explained by the unexpected and sudden end of Riro. For this sudden and unexpected end of Dara’s lover bring him back to a zero level of fulfillment, bruising his desires like the impact of the sun upon a fallen leave…

Children Do Come With A Manual
Price range: $3.99 through $7.99We wrote this book as a companion to our book on parenting to; encourage parents and potential parents to daily use the Bible as a manual for the guidance and wisdom required in raising a child into a follower of Christ Jesus and a productive successful adult, as well as our manual for living a full, joyful and productive life while here on this earth in preparation for an eternal life with Him after his return.
A friend of mine told me that in his opinion the Bible is; Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, that has stuck in my mind, and I like that prospective even more as I unpack all of the information the scriptures reveal to me.
Unlike most manuals this one tells us how it all started, what the intent was, what happened to change things from the initial intent, our history of rebellion, and what will have to be done to restore both us and this earth to its intended state and purpose.
Like most manuals it is seldom opened until a problem arises and malfunctions occur. Th is manual is most useful when read on a daily basis and in preparation for all we plan to do instead of after we have done it. As a manual – the Bible is filled with promises from our Creator, guidelines, warnings, and examples to help us become the people we were created to be, it overflows with a historical review of His love, goodness, mercy, sacrifices and forgiveness as well as proofs of his desire to enjoy life long fellowship with us.
This manual is very comprehensive as it covers everything from what to eat to maximize our earthly body function, the importance of both work and rest, the value of a godly woman and the expected behavior of a godly man, what to look for in a mate and what to avoid, who to trust and how to know if you are being deceived. This manual tells us what is expected of us and what we can expect from our creator. I would encourage and challenge everyone to exhaustively explore all that the Bible has to offer.

The Open Road: An African Walking
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99The Open Road is a sojourner’s tale. Each day, an immigrant lands on America’s shores in search of opportunity. For Africans, coming to America has largely in the past been in search of education followed by a return to the homeland. While on the surface, The Open Road is the author’s experience and firsthand observations, it unfolds complex relationships that face immigrants of African origin as they struggle to get a slice of the American dream. It presents a close look at race, apathy and indifference toward an African immigrant, whose adjustment sometimes-alien environment is determined by the effects of the colonial culture. To cope, the author develops the ability to glide like a swan between white and black races without being a victim or captive of race. It is a quest that all might not achieve; but one that, despite all the bruises, is worth fighting for.

Bear Stories
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99“Bear Stories” is a collection of seventy-seven tales that are designed to be humorous while still speaking to larger issues and truths. This is a rich, multi-faceted manuscript that is designed to appeal to readers of all ages. Among his “Bear Stories,” Shaffer delivers the unknown biography of Smokey the Bear, he celebrates the cleverness of Wilbear and Orville Bear as they take to the skies, and he reveals how the assistance of a bear helped result in the invention of the light bulb. He tells the “true” story of the history of the home run – a bear named Homer who walloped the ball in every at-bat – as well as that of the discovery of electricity (by Bear Franklin), and the telephone (by Alexander Graham Bear).
In addition to his more creative stories (such as the aforementioned), Shaffer’s manuscript also draws its inspiration from current situations, as in “Bears in the City,” which is based on a headline seen to that effect. His stories capture the nature and setting of the Old West, small-town America, Nazi Germany, and Roaring Twenties’ Hollywood; in some ways, therefore, his work could help introduce young readers to certain periods and events in history.
Shaffer’s use of language is both enjoyable and humorous. In addition, his delightfully self-deprecating tone may appeal to readers. The rhyme and meter utilized throughout the manuscript help to move it forward effectively, while Shaffer’s use of personification is nothing short of masterful, and may further endear him to readers, both young and old. Ultimately, his work is a fun, smart collection that could have a wide appeal.

While searching for answers, he stumbles upon a little white chicken who informs him that he has the solution. He tells Santa that he has just spoken to Prancer, the lead reindeer, and Prancer reveals to the chicken that the jingle bells that the reindeer wear when they pull the sleigh provide the magic that allows the reindeer team to fly. The chicken takes the bells to Santa and tries to convince Santa that the bells will work for him. Santa is not convinced until the chicken puts the bells on himself, and in a blink of an eye, the chicken grows to be ten feet tall.
