“Thank you for your wonderful book! Your insight into life and death, and your terrible experiences from which you have learned patience and understanding, will help us all to become better people.”
–Paula Bjornn, Registered Nurse
It was dusk as my husband and I entered the small cemetery to place flowers on the three graves-Jonathan, our firstborn son who died at eight months from a rare pneumonia; Michael, our violinist son who left us at age sixteen due to pancreatic cancer; and Seb, a loving son who trained hawks and suffered blindness and neurodegeneration after thirty years of immunodeficiency. 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.
This powerful memoir describing Colleen Openshaw’s frequent encounters with illness and death will convey important insights when we experience these unwanted sorrows in our own lives. Losing her parents to cancer and old age, a sister in a car accident, her husband to organ failure and Alzheimer’s, as well as her three precious sons to hyper-IgM Syndrome-has given Colleen unusual understanding in facing end-of-life issues. Relying on her faith in God as well as her own grit and determination, her experience can give us a unique comprehension of how to confront these inevitable trials common to all mankind.

The Big Secret : A Parent’s Treasure
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Do you want to achieve a better life and higher promotions?
As a manufacturing plant supervisor, I was approached
by an engineer who asked me many questions about a
particular job he was interested in.
He asked several general questions, and our conversation
went on for months as he talked about his goal of earning
a promotion. I asked how long he had been trying to
accomplish his goal and he said he had worked on it for
two years.
I bet him one hundred dollars that if he would apply my
secret methods, he would receive his promotion within
six weeks. I told him to think about what I had said and
I walked off.
The very next day, he came to me and said he was
skeptical, but because he had learned a lot since he
started talking to me, he was willing to gamble. He said
he would take me up on my bet and I handed him my
materials to study, follow and apply to his future.
Five weeks later, he came back to me, glowing like a
beacon, and filled with enthusiasm.
He thanked me repeatedly, with moisture in his eyes.
The expression on his face was priceless, and he
handed me a folded up “green back”. With excitement
and enthusiasm, he told me that he had received his
promotion!
More than fourteen of my coworkers received their
promotions in record time, using the secret methods in
this book!

Destiny
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Many children were born into poverty, and thus had no apparent reason to try to succeed. That was the case with Mahlon “Dick” Palmer. Dick was the youngest of four boys and was certainly not a welcome addition to the Palmer family. He was born in the midst of the greatest depression the country has ever experienced, thus another mouth to feed. There was one positive benefit though; this child did provide a cheap source of labor. As you will discover, Dick was expected to work 12 to 14 hours every day until he left home to join the Air Force when he was seventeen years old.
Dick’s very best childhood friend was his dog King, who is on the cover of this book. Without King, Dick’s childhood would have been very very difficult, for they were always together.
Life was about to change dramatically when Dick joined the Air Force when he was 17 years old. The title of the book, “Destiny,” is very appropriate since it was at that time when destiny played a major role in Dick’s life.

Love and Courage
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99While I was doing my writing for this book. Suddenly it came to me, realizing why love; as the power to withstand any circumstances; and became victorious. If you think about it for real, there are icons in every form of status; or with whom of great faculties, on this planet earth cannot touch love. Or even to say, mess it up, soil it up or to have love corrupt! Or even to change the character of what love represent. Love stand alone in the uniqueness of its power and purity!
But always there for anyone to feel its energy; or I should say his energy, in any given situation! God is love, keep in mind; and the passion of love have no puff up pride of his character! Love inspired forgiveness to set us free. Uniquely; this is what this book is talking about, love, forgiveness, courage and loyalty towards the journey of life! With all the circumstances in life, love take you on his shoulders; and carve you out like a shining star. There are no situations that are too hard for courage, forgiveness and loyalty! And its all coming from the power of love. This book through the spirit of the Almighty God, will reset your perspectives through life journey.
I can say this for sure, that many of us is taking on too much responsibilities; without inviting God Almighty on their sides! They didn’t consulted with the Most Holy and Wise One; and we end up pay the price of regrets! {Proverbs: 10:1}, said a wise son makes a glad Father, but a foolish son is a grief to his Mother. Love is an inspiration to the human heart. Never-the-less we only can follow the foot prints of love, to have love; hes the door keeper and comforter! Love have the voice to be heard over the highest mountain, and down in the deepest valley. Love can melt the heart of stone, and brings back positive; when the darkness of negative covers the soul! We all needs the character of love, the glory of love; and the power of love to our guide and friend. When the heart of men recognize love, there is a spiritual light shines on us where we are free; to see more of his glory and power. The presence of God the creator, is the presence of love who is the reviver of our soul; when we are spiritual dead love give us back life!
