Overview:

As Nathan Klein recovers from a stroke in a rehabilitation hospital, he finds that he recognizes a fellow patient—Gerhard Reichenberg, a former Nazi who served as commandant in Klein’s Kostowa ghetto in Poland during World War II. Klein, then seventeen years old, hasn’t seen Reichenberg, known as the Dog Catcher, in almost fifty years. Back then, Reichenberg was a man to fear. Deeply agitated, Klein writes letters to Reichenberg expressing his still simmering hate for the man. Reichenberg, who has been a diabetic most of his life, replies in writing as well. Each tells of his own tragedies: Klein of his suffering and the loss of his entire family. Reichenberg of the loss of Esta, a young Jewish maiden assigned to him by the Jewish Ghetto Elders by way of a bribe in hopes to save their lives. Gerhard, gone from the ghetto for a few days, returns to find the entire village annihilated and no trace of Esta, who was pregnant. Ulrica Egberg, the center’s physical therapist, fond of both Klein and Reichenberg, tries to make peace between these two elderly men. The letters, bitter at first, become more tolerant and understanding of each other as they face the truth of their lives and their histories.

Pages: 286
ISBN: 978-1-49171-612-0
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

In this Volume is considered various things about life and living

We will analyze some of what is evil and consider some of the universally good things

The World is mostly good however some men have corrupted it with their greed and immorality

Lying Fools have captured many important positions and control unimaginable wealth

Those control very large segments of the information and publishing industries

Those have assumed responsible positions in government and finance

Those are the wealthy of today, millionaires and billionaires

Much of such wealth is earned from illicit means

Those are slowly strangling the Civilization

And the people of a wonderful World

What can the good people do?

Such men are alien to decency

They have no respect for their fellow man

Those are arrogant and self-assured in their contempt

For others of their kind, those are liar’s thieves and hypocrites

Those are greedy and sinful men that exploit all manner of opportunity

Those are exclusive and stand apart from most other men and they have no shame

Some live in the finest places, fit for a King while being less than the lowest of creatures

The contest is as it has always been

The contest is between God as Father Son and Holy Ghost

And the Devil as is found hiding in weak, dull and corruptible men

Both exist as an Idea and a Spirit and cannot be discounted.

Both are a part of Humanities destiny

Stained-Glass Curtain
By Frank Wardlaw Wright

Published: 11/9/2012
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 336
ISBN: 978-1-47594-437-2
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

When Robert Martin’s wife, Angie, dies of breast cancer after thirty-four years of marriage, he attempts his lifelong dream—that of hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. His constant companions are grief and memories.

On the trail, with a nickname of Dances with Snakes—Snaky for short—he meets a variety of other hikers. Socrates is a Duke graduate and know-it-all scientist; Preacher is a fervid Christian fundamentalist and proselytizer; Southern Bell is an Alabama veterinarian accompanied by her Labrador retriever, War Eagle; and Mother Superior and Czechmate are nurses and lesbian companions.

Snaky’s two thousand–mile trek becomes much more than a physical trial as his faith is tested by his personal loss. He engages the skeptic Socrates about theology, science, and nature. He spars with Preacher about how to read the Bible and what it says about homosexuality. His own perception of same-sex relationships is complicated by a physical attraction to Czechmate.

This volatile mixture of personalities produces adventure, friendship, conflict, and ultimately violence. As the walkers finally reach their goal, Maine’s Mount Katahdin, Snaky and his friends step from behind their individual curtains to reach a new level of human understanding and tolerance

Airborne

All the faces look the same

I wonder, as we get ready to split the clouds above

I can’t help but think, “Is anyone else so much in love?”

The feeling in my stomach

As we lift off the ground

Still not as thrilling

As this love that I’ve found …

Doing Time Eight Hours a Day
Memoirs of a Correctional Officer
By James R. Palmer

Published: 11/4/2013
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 106
ISBN: 978-1-49171-198-9
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Correctional officers face danger every time they go to work, and the public rarely appreciates the job that they do. Author James R. Palmer worked many years at the Kentucky Department of Corrections, spending seven of them with the solitary confinement unit. In this memoir, he looks back at his career and shares what it’s really like working in prison.

For example, inmates aren’t afraid to use sharp objects to hurt officers, who—just like the inmates—often find themselves behind locked doors. Correctional officers also face constant exposure to diseases and infections, as well as constant stress that can upset family life and make sleep nearly impossible. While some people might say, “If it’s that bad, then quit,” correctional officers stay on the job for a variety of reasons, including a desire to serve and protect the public.

Doing Time Eight Hours a Day shares one man’s firsthand experiences of what it’s like to be a correctional officer and rub elbows with some of the most dangerous men and women alive.

One night, she comes home to find a light on in her safe sanctuary. There has been an intruder in her house, and Sophie is reminded that single life for a woman is not always safe.

Watch Everything

Watch Everything
A Judicial Memoir with a Point of View
By Charles A. Shaw

Published: 11/4/2013
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 182
ISBN: 978-1-49171-150-7
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Charles A. Shaw grew up in a segregated African-American neighborhood in St. Louis. His tight-knit community supported him, and he was inspired to become first a teacher and then a lawyer. From there, he worked his way up to federal prosecutor and state judge before President Bill Clinton appointed him to the federal bench.

Shaw quickly became dismayed by the inequality and severity of mandatory U.S. sentencing guidelines and how they affected young African-American men. Prosecutors opposed him at every turn as he sought to impose fair sentences, but he never wavered in seeking to promote equality and curb the destruction of African-American families.

This insightful and at times humorous narrative demonstrates Shaw’s love for family, hard work, and God. Including an insider’s view of an often unjust legal system, tales of working alongside some of the best legal minds in the country, and challenges to prevailing concepts, Watch Everything offers a rare glimpse into the professional life of an unconventional federal judge.

From Adam to Omega
An Anatomy of UFO Phenomena
By A. R. Roberts

Published: 5/9/2012
Format: E-Book (available as PDF, ePub, and Mobi files)
Pages: 522
ISBN: 978-1-47590-505-2
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Extraterrestrial life has been a philosophical issue that has not been high on the priority list for scientific study. Since the UFO issue revolves around possible alien visitors, however, it is essential to determine if extraterrestrial life could exist and, if so, whether it could visit our world. In From Adam to Omega, author A. R. Roberts provides a comprehensive compendium of UFO phenomena, followed by his interpretations of how those phenomena relate to religious and historical texts.

Roberts provides a commonsense approach and a logical evaluation of the most credible evidence available—evidence compiled by reliable researchers and investigators. He examines a plethora of questions:

• Are UFOs real?

• Were extraterrestrials involved with ancient civilizations?

• Are aliens abducting people and performing strange tests and examinations?

• Does the Bible reveal evidence of extraterrestrial visitation?

• Did the US Air Force really retrieve crashed UFOs and alien bodies?

• Are the military, the government, and NASA hiding the truth?

• Is there evidence of an alien agenda?

From Adam to Omega presents thought-provoking and interesting information as it examines the evidence to determine what is fact and what is fiction. Roberts offers a unique perspective on the UFO mystery.

A Life Song Between Two Worlds

A Life Song Between Two Worlds
Revised and Expanded
By Francis Boni

Published: 8/22/2013
Format: Perfect Bound Softcover
Pages: 148
Size: 6x9
ISBN: 978-1-47599-566-4
Print Type: B/W

Overview:In this revised edition of A Life Song Between Two Worlds, Dr. Francis Boni expands his original book of poetry, updating his thoughts on society, government, and philosophy. He seeks to enlighten others on points of views that would be otherwise unconsidered and encourages them to think beyond the words on the page and their own personal experiences.

His verses reflect the emotional rhythm of the meaning of life and its baffling paradoxes, which are hard to resolve or to accept. He considers the violence in our society currently—still crying for a real tentative or effective solution—in an effort to reclaim the calm of years long past. Boni’s work is poetry of ideas, purpose-poetry with a message—a dynamic blend of ideas expressed in a dialectical relationship in a symbolically and intensely passionate way.

A Hero’s Life

There are no great men

But only great challenges

That “authentic” spirits must meet

To overcome

Not only personal fears

But also the dreads

Of that unknown and unconscious reality

Which manifests those challenges

Through which they become villains or heroes.
