From start to finish, his story is wrought with startling revelations and shocking exposes.

He uncovers the self-serving and abusive nature of medical training and the resultant waste, inefficiency and danger. He confronts the flaws and dangers in the medical delivery system that threaten our expectation of quality medical care.

Lastly, he uncovers the power that drug companies can exert to control the pricing and delivery of pharmaceuticals and concomitantly keep physicians in line. The task is monumental and the author has met the challenge.

    The Paths of My Life: A Christian’s Journey

    Martin Dorman was born at Mercy Hospital on the south side of Chicago. His parents sent him and his older siblings to church, never attending themselves, except that his Mom started attending in her late 60’s. He attended Chicago’s Ashland Christian Church in his younger years, taking a break from church during his teen years, attending sporadically until late in his nine-year military career where his older bother introduced him to Mr. Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. He remained a member of this church over 30 years, most of that during extreme legalism, and through the time it had a major doctrinal change to Christ-centered worship. He’s now been a member of Mesa First Church of the Nazarene for two years. Pastor Ira Brown and the congregation are very warm and loving. It’s Martin’s second home. His two favorite hymns are, “Oh, How I Love Jesus,” and “To God be the Glory” He presently lives in Mesa, Arizona, and his daily goal is to live according to God’s will and follow His path.

    Old Soldiers Never Die

    Rev. Wallace A. Evans is my grandfather who lived to be 100 years old. He was born August 22, 1884 and he died November 29, 1984. My grandfather was a man among men. I have come to realize he will live on in all of us. If I were to sum up his life in a song it would be, “I’m A Soldier in the Army of The Lord.” It is an honor to be labeled a soldier in the Lord’s army. It’s even greater honor if your journey lasts 100 years. His dedicated life has left a profound impartation upon mine. It has been a great pleasure and honor to write about him. Old soldiers, they don’t die, they just fade away is both a poetic and prophetic way to sum up my grandfather’s inspiring life.

    The Greatest Semester Ever: A Memoir of Studying Abroad

    An 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”.

As the sun set with crimson colors. I placed bright summer flowers on each grave. ‘Help me to do what I should do with my life,’ I said to my sons. It was clear what my path should be. I could not let their lives be lost in vain! I should write stories of struggle, love, and faith. “They are doing work now in heavenly spheres, and I must do mine while I still have time!” I said to myself. It all seemed so clear.

    USE YOUR MIND OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MINDn

    My name is Felicia Elizabeth Medlock. I am the author of this book {Use your mind or lose your mind}. She is clothed with strength and dignity: she can

    laugh at the days to come. (Proverbs 31:25. My book is based on the trail and tribulations from the age of three years old into an adult. I briefly describe

    situations from what I can remember as an adolescent to high school as I graduated high school. And, as I survive the struggles and the good days of my life the good days came into my life, when I believed in Jesus Christ, I kept the faith that all things are able. May God that gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had. (Romans 15:5). All you need is the size of a mustard seed so that you will succeed and have all you wish for. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up just in fact you are doing. (Thessalonians 5:11). Overall, material things in life doesn’t matter because without the love of Jesus Christ you will have nothing because the bible says Jesus is love and Jesus died for us on the cross and promised us that if we believe in him, we will not perish. At times when I had no way out, I prayed, and I ask God for guidance as you scroll through my book know he is the way the truth and the life. Remember we all have choices your choice can be to do right, and your choice can be to do wrong, and the wrong way is never the correct choice, so I hope this book does you well and will stay in your thoughts when you decide to do something you know will lead you down the wrong path. Know that God s way is the best way I am a living witness.

    A Life Not Expected: But A Journey Worth Taking

    Born in her grandparents’ bedroom on October 11, 1925, Violet Grayson says of her writing, “At the age of fourteen, I wrote a poem and a rather dismal short story. I sent the short story to Collier’s magazine, where it was immediately rejected. I redeemed my pride by later winning a school-wide essay contest at Cumberland High School and becoming an at-large reporter for our school paper, The Chronicle. As a senior, I was named literary editor of our yearbook. My English teacher, Mr. Skahan, suggested I switch to the college course since he saw me as scholarship material, but that was too much of a reach in those Great Depression years. After graduating in 1943, I worked in an office, married in 1949, and became a mother in 1950 and then a single parent in 1952. My writing would have to wait until January 1986 when, at the age of sixty, I launched my literary career.”

     

    Violet has had twenty-four personal-experience stories, articles, how-to pieces, and short stories published. She also wrote a column for the Foxboro Reporter in her former home of Foxboro, Massachusetts. In California, since 1993, she contributed to “Two Cents,” an opinion column in the San Francisco Chronicle maintained by a pool of citizens. She is an active member and Secretary of Writers West of Alameda Inc.

     

    This is her fourth book. The first, In the Village Lonsdale, was published in 2006. Her second, A Gossamer Cord, was published in 2011. Her third, Jeremy’s Cottage, was published in 2013.
