Balkymor: The “Talipes” Effect
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99In 1997, a baby girl named Kelly was born in Sarnia, Ontario with two club feet. While still a baby, she went to the Montreal Shriner’s Hospital for twenty-three visits in eight months to surgically correct her condition. By the time she was six, she was running around freely.
Her Scottish grandfather had been born in 1938 with a left club foot. Knowing what his granddaughter faced through many medical procedures at a very young age, he collected together his writings about his life from early childhood through to a long and successful career and many international travels.
Told with love and humour, Balkymor follows the author through his childhood in Scotland during World War II, his youth, falling in love, marrying and moving them to Canada with no job prospects, little money and as much optimism as they could muster.
Balkymor is a heart-warming memoir of humour, strength, courage and faith in the face of pain, and a rapidly-changing world. It is about overcoming adversity with determination and resolve. It is also a story of love, family and adventure that will have you cheering for the Currie family.

Engaging the Silent Sufferer
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99In Engaging the Silent Sufferer, Dr. Jerome Newton addresses the issues of shame, guilt, and disgrace that continually plague men and women who are suffering in silence. By its nature, abuse is a topic that is rarely discussed. Perpetrators remain silent because they recognize their acts could be deemed criminal, and victims remain silent because of many factors are addressed in this writing.
Dr. Newton discloses the pains and wounds of those affected by such abuse while simultaneously exposing the perpetrators who inflicted the pain. Many have kept the secret of abuse to prevent punishment and embarrassment to the family’s reputation, while the real crime of the abuse scenario is that of silence. The stories disclosed in this book include various types of abuse; however, sexual and/or physical abuse and the difficult conversations surrounding the incidents became the catalysts for the book.
This book is designed to help give illumination and provide a vehicle of expression by:
• Sharing stories of abuse that encourage those who are still suffering in silence to come out and be heard, understanding that they no longer have to hide their private struggles behind their public success.
• Providing the necessary tools for those who are suffering in silence to regain freedom, rehabilitate their lives, and be empowered to live with strength, honor and dignity.
• Providing assistance through the resources available via clinical or pastoral counseling, as well as other professional venues.

Creeping Shadows
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99The son of John and Viola Hastings, author Swede Hastings was born in 1941 in the small town of Roseburg, Oregon. In his early years, the family moved about the western part of the United States, following the fruit and work available. His family later returned to Roseburg and bought a small farm.
In 1958 Swede joined the US Navy. The next year there was a major explosion in the city of Roseburg, devastating the town. Swede, age 18, received emergency leave to help his family. While on leave, an accidental hunting tragedy resulted in his 15-year-old brother’s death. Due to the emotional trauma, he was suffering, Swede was institutionalized in California, where he had relived details of the accident. It was this tragedy which inspired him to write his first poem, Creeping Shadows.
Once released from the hospital, Swede found that keeping busy kept his mind off the accident. Throughout different highs and lows of his life, Swede would turn to words as an outlet. As with his first poem, the page seemed to hold the answers for dealing with things too emotional to confront any other way.
Swede feels that there is a time and place for each thought to be expressed, and we all have our unique individual ways to express our feelings. Since the experience of accepting the Lord, Swede believes that the best is yet to come.

A Journey Through the Word of God: The Study of The Four Gospels
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Hello New Bible Scholar. My name is Lady Flora Wiggins. I am the Founder and President of the Discipled Men & Women of Wisdom International Bible Institute. Let me start by saying, I believe in you. I sincerely believe there is a space inside each of us that is designed to crave the love of God. That love is found in the word of God. It is written in John 4:8,”God is Love.” It is also written in John 1, “The word was God.” Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that since we all have a natural need and desire for love, we should begin to look in the one place we are guaranteed to find it. That place is in the Holy Bible. I envision the peace and joy that comes from the pure love you will find here, transforming this world according to Romans 12:2. My dream is that this transformation will lead us to obey the command in II Chronicles 7:14 and ultimately we will see the healing of the land that God has promised us. The DMWW Bible Institute is my way of offering the amazing sixty-six book love letter from God, to anyone who has been looking for love in all the wrong places. It is also my way of obeying God’s command to disciple all nations to Christ before his return. There is a main reason for my answer to the calling of God to teach his word, internationally at no charge. It is because when God first called me to the ministry, I couldn’t afford the classes that I needed to be ordained. I cried and prayed. God told me to go back and be the change I wanted to see. The Lord said, “I could have just blessed you with money for classes. However, I allowed you to experience this pain because I trusted you to make a difference. Many have prayed the prayer you just prayed, wanting to preach my word, but a lack of money prevented them and people calling them bootleg. I need someone to obey me, no matter the cost? I said, “Yes Lord” and over several years, he trained me the way he wanted his word to be taught. He tested me by having me offer it free online worldwide, with no pay or natural compensation. I said, Yes Lord. God told me to teach his word “in context” without adding or taking away from its meaning. I said Yes Lord. Every day from that day to this one, I have spent teaching as he commanded. Today, I would like to invite you to join me, along with several men and women from all over the world on a spirit led journey through the Holy Bible. WELCOME!

Espionage In Miniature
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Jake Barrada worked as an undercover intelligence agent in a super-+secret government organization called The Bureau of Research and Information Acquisition or BRIA.
Now Jake had assignment that was unlike any of his previous missions. The mission objective was a building in a remote Upstate wooded area. American intelligence sources suspected that the building was the headquarters of a terrorist organization. The building was an impenetrable fortress and no one could get in or out without being detected.
The masterminds in the BRIA organization designed a machine that could reduce Jake to the size of a rat. As a miniature man he would fly onto the roof of the enemy fortress on a drone and make his way down the HVAC duct into the interior of the building. Once inside, he would penetrate the large computer and install listening bugs and transmitter devices into the circuitry then get out without being discovered.
The plan looked foolproof on paper, but what would happen when Jake actually tried to execute it?
