Zach’s Journey
$11.99This book tells the story of Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth as seen through the eyes of four teenagers who lived in Capernaum during the years 27 – 30 AD. These intelligent, sometimes disbelieving, youths listen carefully to Yeshua, watch him attentively and constantly discuss his teaching so as to try and make sense of his message. They also listen to and are aware of the views and opinions of those who disagree with Yeshua and disapprove of him.
The writer feels that if the public life of Yeshua is told through the experiences of four individuals near the readers own age, it could help them to understand more clearly what Yeshua’s example and teaching means for them in their busy, everyday lives today.
The recounting largely follows the Good News translation of the Gospel of Mark up to Yeshua’s final days in Jerusalem, when all the gospel narratives are then taken into account.
A simplified Biblical map of the Holy Land is added so as to help the reader situate more clearly the many places referred to in the text.
In short, the aim of this book is well summarised in the often-quoted words from a prayer of St Richard of Chichester who lived in thirteenth century England:
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
Amen.

The Greatest Semester Ever: A Memoir of Studying Abroad
$11.99An old college journal found by accident led to an inspiration 34 years later. I had always told oral stories about my travels and encounters at parties and pubs to positive responses, and reactions. After a while, I thought I might actually have a book to write here?!
It’s like a “Let’s Go Europe” travel book for those who venture to go beyond their own comfort zones. Traveling isn’t just getting into long, endless lines at the airport during the holidays. Rail is the way to go if you want to see the actual country and not from 30,000 feet. That is, of course, if you don’t have thousands of miles to cover like one doesn’t have in Western Europe. In the Spring of 1989, the Iron Curtain was still standing, and the Soviet Empire still reigned over Eastern Europe. Therefore, we were limited on where we could go, however we did manage to go behind the Iron Curtain at one point and view the former Communist World.
It explores the trials and tribulations of college students going way out of their normal surroundings, not only just to continue their college educations, but also to learn a “metric butt-load” about the world and themselves most importantly. If you want to do something amazing, see something amazing, or even achieve your wildest dreams, you’re going to have to go beyond the horizon and venture into the unknown. While the pomp in that sounds glorious, fluffy, and boisterous, the reality is that it’s true. You’ll never see the world by staying in “Mayberry”.

Life Is Not All About Work
$11.99In an era of employment when change is continually changing, technology is enhanced by Artificial Intelligence, and automation and robotics are having an impact in the workplace, it is often difficult for jobseekers at all levels to truly identify a work environment that offers the benefits of longevity and a sense of belonging. Life takes strange turns, and the 21st century employer driven marketplace epitomizes this fact.

Donald Trump Meets His Maker
$11.99This play offers an explanation, albeit fantastical, for President Trump’s inaction and near silence for 187 minutes during the Capitol siege on January 6th, 2021. The play begins with his speech at the Washington, D.C., rally on that fateful day. After he finishes the oration, as opposed to his instruction that he be driven to the Capitol, the Secret Service ferries him to the White House. Once there, President Trump holes up in the private dining room off the Oval Office, which serves as the setting for the remainder of the play. In the dining room, he sits rapt before a gigantic television screen, viewing his followers’ descent upon the Capitol. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper materializes in the dining room, and announces that the time has arrived for him to take President Trump away.
In the hope of dissuading the Grim Reaper from completing his mission, President Trump calls upon the assistance of Satan, whom the president hopes will listen to his appeal for clemency. As did the Grim Reaper, Satan materializes in a burst of explosions, smoke, etc. President Trump attempts to convince Satan to overrule the Grim Reaper by presenting a video playlist titled Trump’s Big Six, containing six of what he considers to be his political career’s highlights.
One of the play’s conceits is that only President Trump, and not his visitors, of which there were a few-for example, Ivanka Trump, Mark Meadows, and Pat Cipollone-can see the Grim Reaper and Satan: “Only he whom we come for can see us.”

How? How? How?: Jesus Can We Have Your Church Fired Up?
Price range: $11.99 through $19.99For the writing of this book is exciting to me, of us being able to prepare for Jesus’ return. And as the Scriptures say, to watch and pray means that Jesus really would like to have us come with Him on His return to the Father’s house in heaven.
Most do know very little about the function of a church body of believers when it comes to the proper role of an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a bishop/pastor, and a teacher. And as how to define the logic, as to their position; for the Scriptures are very clear, so as the church begins to fit into their proper role, the churches throughout the world will expand rapidly: for this is an exciting time for the believers to pray a blessing over the saint around the world.

Poetry for the Soul: Plus Satire
Price range: $11.99 through $18.99God’s spirit can fill our very soul;

What you think is what you feel.
Emotions are but mirrors real.
The Lord will protect better than ever we can,
For even in the worst of times, He can perfect His plan.
What sets this collection apart is McPhee’s versatility as a poet. Each poem is a testimony to her ability to seamlessly transition between introspective messages and razor-sharp wit….Yet beneath the humor lies a deep sense of compassion and understanding, reminding us that laughter can be a powerful tool for introspection and growth.

-Ryan Jorstad
————
After graduating from Illinois with a degree in physical education, my first teaching job was in the Dixon school system. I was also the new basketball coach. The school was in the northwest corner of Illinois, not far from the Wisconsin border. Some people in the area knew of my being with the Milwaukee Braves (a very short stint in the summer of 1958), which led to invitations to speak at some high school athletic banquets in the area. It was very surprising that after some of those speaking engagements, someone would tell me, “Coach, you ought to be a minister.” I never thought much of that comment the first or second time I heard it. But it kept happening. After the fourth time, I told my roommate, who happened to also be a new teacher at Amboy and an assistant football coach. He said, “I feel the same way. You ought to be a minister. You would be a damn good one, too.” This past June, I completed my sixtieth year in the ministry as a pastor in the United Methodist Church.

Just Deliver The Message
Price range: $12.99 through $19.99Paul was just an everyday, unassuming, ordinary man chosen to deliver life-changing messages to strangers. Could he have been mistaken for someone else and chosen incorrectly? Who was he to be given such a task? He was just barely a believer himself, with his own persona demons to battle.
Thousands of believers discarded their personal belongings and assembled in an open field in Kentucky. By their faith alone, some followed a man unknown to them across America’s heartland to find their destiny.
Dark forces, determined to undermine the ultimate plan, battled the faithful at every turn. Spiritual warfare was something not to be played with, and it was hard to accept by even the most self-acclaimed believers. Minions of the darkness assured them of their reality.
Would church leaders withstand the test of Paul’s message or risk losing their salvation? Did Paul’s messages save lives or result in eternal damnation?

THE MOVING WORDS REVIEW
BOOK INFORMATION:
Title: A Haunted Symphony
Author: Michele Wallace Campanelli
Publisher: Author Reputation Press, LLC Publication
Date: November 16, 2023
Review date: November 24, 2023
Genre: Mystery, Supernatural Fiction, Drama
BOOK REVIEW:
Our story begins with Maria, a passionate and dedicated orchestra volunteer, who starts a new role filled with unexpected twists and turns. The symphony, a place of harmony and artistry, soon becomes the background for occurrences that hint at a supernatural presence. The other members and volunteers, each with unique personalities and stories, find themselves involved in secrets and past connections that slowly unravel as the story progresses.
Maria and her colleagues discover that their beloved symphony hall is haunted by more than just the echoes of music past. Strange sounds, unexplained events, and ghostly apparitions begin to stir, bringing to light old legends and tales long thought to be mere folklore. Amidst this, the characters deal with their personal challenges and relationships, adding breadth to the story.
What are the hidden secrets of the symphony’s past, and how are they connected to the mysterious occurrences within its walls? This was the start of a book that promises to keep one fascinated until the very end.
Set against the backdrop of an orchestra, the story peeks into the lives of its characters, including their relationships, secrets, and past events. Michele Wallace Campanelli truly shines in her storytelling in A Haunted Symphony. She created a vivid and attention-grabbing world. For example, the descriptions of the symphony, its music, and the characters’ interactions with their tools and environment are so detailed that readers can almost hear the music and feel the emotions (e.g., Donnie losing a limb).
Campanelli’s characters are well-developed-each with their individual backstory and motivations. How she intertwines their lives and reveals their connections and secrets as the story advances is satisfying. As the pages flip, readers can appreciate the seamless integration of supernatural elements into the tale-the ghostly aspects are handled with a deft touch, ensuring that they enhance rather than overpower the plot.
Overall, A Haunted Symphony is well-paced, balancing moments of tension and mystery. Building suspense is one of its strongest suits, keeping readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. The twists and turns of the story are well-executed, with surprising yet believable revelations. It’s a novel that will appeal to fans of mystery and the supernatural, as well as those who appreciate well-crafted, character-driven stories.

This is a book that shows how a person’s life can change in an instant.
This book shows how ordinary people who are confronted with overwhelming obstacles can triumph with a positive attitude and hard work, then become an inspiration to everyone around them.

Volume 3: Death of The Negro From The Ante Bellum To The Renaissance & Beyond: An African American Experience In The Development of Black Popular Culture: The Jazz Worker: A Blues Aesthetic Philosophy
Price range: $13.99 through $20.99Blues Aesthetics
Blues Aesthetics (Volume 3) examines Blues as an Aesthetic musical art that operates with a philosophical base rooted in the cultural forms that have developed over the centuries of African progression and transplantation to the United States during the Middle Passage. Blues Aesthetics is a construct developed out of a desire to offer Blues on the same level playing field reserved for other musical forms from other traditions.
Using European Classical Music as an example, it is assumed that this form emanates out of the European fine art tradition. That is why it has been given the name “Classical Music”. This name automatically gives one the idea the music requires the listener to be prepared to create a mode of understanding where full attention is given. I have never heard anyone state that this music does not belong to or come from Europe.
When I decided that I would treat blues as the metaphor for the study of the development and advancement of Black Popular Culture in particular and the culture of the United States in general, I wanted to have a sound basis in which to place my analysis. With blues one cannot go wrong. Why? It has chronicled the political economy of the United States of American since slavery. The analytic tool that has been used to inform this process is the Law of Position, a Position Theory. The Law of Position, a Position Theory is a paradigm that has as its basic premise, “we take as given the idea of distinction and the idea of indication, and that in order to make an indication we must make a distinction. We take therefore the form of distinction for the form.” (G. Spencer-Brown)

The Blossoming of the World: Essays and Images
$13.99In The Blossoming of the World, Brian H. Peterson-author of the critically acclaimed The Smile at the Heart of Things-picks up both pen and camera and journeys to the deep end of life.

Ticket to Oregon
$13.99Three generations of the Ticket family have stood behind their bar in the fictional small town of Cordell, Oregon, serving the rich and poor, loggers and lumbermen, dreamers and drifters, revelers and mourners. Owen Ticket, the current proprietor, hasn’t spent much time outside of this town created by two entrepreneurs. But he has seen and heard about it all.
When Owen and an out-of-towner engage in a story-telling match, Owen pours forth tale after engaging tale, garnishing most with his own perceptive and insight into human nature and condition. Ticket’s Bar has been through it all – the booms and bubbles and heartaches of the 1900s with Depression, Prohibition, two war wars, the Korea conflict, the Vietnam debacle, and the plight of the American wood industry.
Join Owen as he opens the tap and draws a pitcher full of laughter and tears, offering a century’s worth of entertainment from his person and time inter-connected stories. The reader meets a pokerplaying cheat, the love-anguished Constanze Osterhagen, Paws The Wonder Dog, Stonekicker Bob, the Frenchman, the local grave digger, Owen’s father and grandfather, and Anne Oakley herself.
All of this and more in the shadow of Mt. Hood, the high plains, and the majestic but treacherous Deschutes River. So, pull up a stool, park your heels on the brass foot rail and settle in for the wonderful story-telling skills of Owen Ticket.

On Both Sides of the River
Price range: $14.99 through $24.99Mark and his men boarded their rafts with the remaining load of high grade cocaine from a cartel in Colombia. Mark was happy. He was crossing the river for the last time.
“I’ll be seeing you in about a month, Don Narciso,” Mark lied.
Mark found a place on the raft to sit amongst the bricks of cocaine. The dope was wrapped with surgeon masking tape.
Mark never looked back.
In the meantime, Don Narciso’s men set the trap. They were not too eager to intercept the load of cocaine under the cover of the vega on the American side. They were familiar with the routes taken by illegal aliens. Narciso’s men followed a familiar maze of trails made by the feral hogs that fed on tender roots at night and during daylight snoozed under the shade of the jaras and carrizales. The fear in their eyes glowed when fireflies shined only to disappear and appear elsewhere. Even the murmer of the river’s swift current could not soothe the fear Don Narciso’s men were experiencing. It was not so smart of Dan Narciso to double-cross Mark Balbuena. The young man was crazy and violent. But, they had to follow orders or else.

The Scarpacci Files
Price range: $14.99 through $20.99A family, living in Carlentini, Sicily, is tired of living the life of a poor farmer. The countryside is beautiful. The ocean, amazing. Yet, the area is as poor as it can be. Times get hard and feeding the family becomes almost impossible. The Scarpacci family decides to move their children to the prosperous lands of America. The new world is much different than the old country. Life is harder, the work is harder, but the money comes easier. They are immigrants so they don’t make as much as an English born American. Still, the freedom that they seek is everywhere if one is willing to work for it, yet it comes with a price.
The Black hand organization runs these streets. The little Italy neighborhood on the south side of Omaha hasn’t been the same since they moved in. They terrorize the neighborhood, extorting everyone and killing anyone who resists. One man falls short of his monthly payments and began to fall behind. After months of nonpayment, he ends up paying the ultimate price, his life. Retaliation is a must. His two sons, Yano and Gino, must react. However, they are too young. Who will do something? Will other neighbors stand up against the organization and fight back, or will they continue to murder and destroy the neighborhood? Someone must stand up and stop them before it’s to late and the entire neighborhood burns to the ground.

The Max Faraday Chronicles
$14.99Who am I and why should you read my story? My name is Max Faraday. Nobody is going to believe me, but here I am putting it all down on paper. I am a man of two time periods. Forgive me, this sci-fi stuff is new to me.
A week or more ago, in July 2002, I came home for my 1982 high school class reunion. I was staying with my friend Jamie Scott and his family. On the way home from the reunion, we picked up his kids at the babysitter. Their little girl comes out and bounces a ball that tumbles out of her hands into the street.
Just as we arrived, a car speeds up and my instincts take over. I pick her up and get her out of the way, but I was then hit by the speeding car! Stunned, I wake up in September 1978! I am a thirty-eight-year-old man in a fourteen-year-old’s body! I can’t tell anyone, or they would lock me up, thinking I’m crazy! I know I would.
So here I am in the eighth grade all over again. When I went to bed in 1978, I woke up in a coma in 2002, wondering about the driver who ran me over.
