The Healing Touch
$13.99Many couples wish for the type of marriage Adam and Eve had, but their chances of achieving that relationship are minimized when they don’t have the necessary tools to get there.
Dave Bennett’s The Healing Touch not only promises a paradisiacal marriage, such as Adam and Eve had in the beginning, but also provides the tools to get there. He shares how two people can grow in Christ together. Bennett provides the scriptural means for sustaining the relationship and the know-how to resolve issues so the relationship can continue to grow in social, emotional, and spiritual intimacy and in the richness of life skills.
It is essential for all of us to learn how to truly walk with God in intimacy on a daily basis. The Healing Touch shows it is this ongoing intimacy that enables us to relate to our spouses with the unconditional love of agape and an uncommon commitment all of us need. Loving each other becomes fun, spiritual, and emotionally and physically intimate. It never gets old.

Indigo Child and the Spirit World
$13.99It’s no picnic for an indigo child; you can forget living a normal life. Traveling to galaxies while asleep, constant premonitions, and battles with Satan and evil entities to prevent them from luring every soul to Hell. The population is always nagging you for information, ridiculing you, and calling you offensive names on a daily basis. This book describes the life of an indigo child trying to live a normal life. The book is based on true events, or maybe fictional events. Some choose to believe, while others don’t. You decide. But rest assured, Satan and evil entities are real. It’s a constant battle between good and evil, and good does not always win.
———–
After I retired from the fire department and first responder, I now write books. I always wanted to write books, but with work and raising a family, writing was on the back burner. This is the second book that I have written. It’s a passion for me, the same passion I had when I was a firefighter. I hope you enjoy reading my books.

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)

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.

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 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.
