We must read these revealing pages, so literally beautiful and so shockingly Cuban. We all learn a lot from this magical form of this writer who now surprises us with this volume that cannot be ignored. She will prepare the mood and the attitude for the day.”

The Search: A Historian’s Search for Historical Jesus
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99The Search is neither predominately scholarly, historical, nor inspirational. Rather, it is a book that seeks to understand why Jesus said what he said and did what he did in light of the fact that he was not only a loyal Galilean Jew but he was also a loyal Roman subject, who was probably educated in Greco-Roman influenced schools, who probably worked under the authority of Roman administrators, who ministered under the protection of Roman officials, and who died as a enemy of Rome as mandated by Roman law. The book is not intended to present Jesus in any lesser light than that of deity. Yet, within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time in which Jesus lived and ministered. It attempts to show under what circumstances his ministry and popularity grew and flourished in Roman Mare Nostrum and then floundered. The Search is historical in that it portrays the life of Jesus as it was in Roman Mare Nostrum East. It is scholarly in that it confirms each Gospel recorded event with non-biblical authenticating documentation. It is inspirational in that it assumes that the Gospel records are the most accurate records available about the life of Jesus and that the word and deeds recorded in the Gospel narratives have been preserved for two millennia because they were the narratives that God felt would be most spiritually beneficial to this Current generation. This book will attempt to discover Jesus’ life by filling in the empty center between birth and death by reaching beyond the bare bones skeleton of historical Jesus and alighting upon the fully developed historical epic of Jesus-the loyal Jewish Roman
subject of Roman Mare Nostrum East.

The War We Almost Lost
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99In the War We Almost Lost the author explains how badly we were prepared for war in 1941. He discusses the areas in which we could have done much
better and how the responsibility could have been shared by many politicians and military leaders.
The author writes about mistakes and blunders as well as brilliant moves made during the war by both sides that allowed us to win, but almost cost us victory. Better planning and execution by the Axis countries could have had disastrous effects on the Allies. But in the end, through some good design, lucky breaks and bad-decision making by our enemies, we rallied and came through the terrible war with flying colors led by the “Greatest Generation” of all times.

A Fleeting Glimpse of Paradise
Price range: $3.99 through $45.99If ever there were an expert in the history, beauty, and overall best places to visit in Hawaii, Craig E. Burgess would be that person. His first visit to the islands was in 1974, the first of forty-one in total!

Cowboys and Samurai: Myths and Realities
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Myths exist in every society.

Comparing the myths with realities, we learn about the conditions and the circumstances involved and we gain an understanding of what the real cowboy and samurai were really like. When you hear the names John Wayne and Roy Rogers, what image of the cowboy do you have? What image of the samurai do you take away when you read the book Shogun or see the movie or the TV series of the same title? These questions are poised and discussed in this book. The book ends with a discussion of the roles played by the cowboy and samurai myths in contemporary America and Japan.
