Overview:

Patrick William Graham Jr. was destined to be small of stature, but that didn’t mean he was short on courage. He grew up with a Cherokee tribe and became blood brother to the chief’s son, Leaping Wolf. One of Pat’s first toys was a hand-carved wooden pistol; when his draw was faster than his father’s, he was given a working gun.

When tragedy strikes, leaving Pat’s father dead and his mother remarried to a man Pat despises, he leaves his tribal home. Out in the world, his small frame makes him an easy target for bullies, predators, and petty men with something to prove. After he kills a man who was riding him for being small, Pat’s life changes in ways he can’t control. He sells his skills as a gunman. In Mexico, he protects a silver mine from banditos and then helps them to improve their operation.

One fateful day, however, on a job rustling cattle, he finds God and a better way to live.

Pat is soon welcomed as the youngest Arizona Territorial Ranger, and he puts his skills and talents to the Lord’s work. He prevents war with the Indians seven times. But his life isn’t all heroics and escapades. Along the way, he also finds a bride, buys a ranch, and works with a family named Earp.

Inspired by the stories told to him by his Texas rancher father, songs, and classic Western tales, A Stranger Came to Town is Nolan Fondren’s love song to a long-lost time and place.

The woods are so wild, its impossible to behold them without terror … so said Daniel Boone in his day. It’s the same world John Anderson finds himself in thousands of years later in Easter Armageddon, where he loves and fights and tragically survives for the next twenty years. These Truths, a sequel, begins with the aftermath of the latest tragedy. Coinciding mountains away, by a process of scintillating complexity, is the resurrection of the remainder of the Chosen, fifteen carefully selected young men and women from the twenty-first century. They, together with John, had pledged to undertake the greatest challenge mankind had ever attempted, the difficulty of which was evident in the history of his consistent failures. With the characteristics of a world nature has reclaimed, there are many subtleties to address and hurdles to cross and dangers to face; but the greatest and most difficult of all, as it has always been, is man and bad wolf within him. To succeed, effort and intention and goodness will not be enough … … there will be blood.

Schooled for Success

Schooled for Success
How I Plan to Graduate from High School a Millionaire
By Houston Gunn

Published: 11/4/2013
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 114
ISBN: 978-1-49171-076-0
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Houston Gunn is a sixteen-year-old entrepreneur, real estate investor, musician, and author of the book Schooled for Success: How I Plan to Graduate from High School a Millionaire. Born in Bonney Lake, Washington, Gunn made his first real estate deal at the age of thirteen; by fourteen, he had begun writing his first book. During a job shadow interview his freshman year of high school, Gunn was challenged by the CEO that he interviewed to write a book. Houston accepted the challenge and finished in fourteen months. Gunn even garnered the attention for famed business mogul Donald Trump, who granted an interview that is shared in this book.

In this personal narrative, Houston shares true stories of his motivation. On his first day of high school Houston attended a welcoming assembly for the freshman class. The leadership teacher announced, “If you get good grades in high school, graduate, go on to a good college, graduate with a degree, and get a good job, most of you will make a million dollars during the course of your lifetime.” The freshman went wild, but Houston thought, “This cannot be right. Are they doing the math?”

His head was spinning. One million dollars over forty years, working from age twenty-two until sixty-two, would be $25,000 per year.

Houston thought, “Why are the teachers and freshman cheering and going wild? We, the graduating class of 2015, should be booing. We have got to learn more about money. We should be worth more than a million dollars over our lifetime!”

Houston made a goal right then and there to make one million dollars not just over his lifetime, but by high school graduation.

Houston Gunn is the new voice to his generation of entrepreneurs.
In this memoir, Gunn, an entrepreneur from an early age, narrates how he job shadowed and interviewed Lee Arnold, CEO of Private Money Exchange and COGO Capital, during his freshman year in high school. Arnold suggested he write a book about his experiences. Schooled for Success recaps Gunn’s meeting with Arnold and also shares an interview with Donald Trump and other influential entrepreneurs. Gunn narrates his early life experiences and shows how events and mentors influenced his entrepreneurial spirit and fueled his drive to become a millionaire before he graduates from high school. Schooled for Success discusses the factors important to success including getting an education, employing networking, setting goals, taking risks, welcoming change, and accepting challenges.

Knowing Horses by Heart

Knowing Horses by Heart
A Collection of Poems Written with Appreciation for the Horses in My World
By Barbara J. Hutson

Published: 8/14/2012
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 96
ISBN: 978-1-47593-920-0
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

For as long as Barbara Hutson could remember, she dreamed of having a horse farm and of surrounding herself daily with these magical, mystical, and majestic creatures. Suddenly, she found herself living her lifelong dream. In Knowing Horses by Heart, she talks about the joys and challenges of owning horses. Her poems consider the life lessons she has learned—such as the value of patience and respect—while considering how worthwhile owning horses has been for her.

Like most fantasies, the reality of our fondest wishes can be a bit more than we bargained for. Owning a horse farm is not all serene days gazing at horses playing in the field or peaceful rides into the sunsets. Horses are bigger than life. With that comes events that are also tremendous in size and impact which lends richness and color to the fabric of our life story. Fully illustrated, Knowing Horses by Heart shares through poetry some of the knowledge Barbara has accumulated through her equine encounters.

Little Girl Giggles

The gift is sweeter than that very first kiss

Seeing those looks of sheer wonder and bliss

There is nothing quite like watching the eyes

Of a child as she squeals with excited cries

As the magic of real horses fills up the space

The look of pure amazement covers her face …

Hope Springs Eternal in the Priestly Breast

Hope Springs Eternal in the Priestly Breast
A Research Study on Procedural Justice for Priests—Diocesan and Religious
By James Valladares, PhD

Published: 5/9/2012
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 328
ISBN: 978-1-46207-239-2
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

The clergy abuse scandal has posed the greatest threat to the traditional understanding of the Catholic priesthood since the Protestant Reformation. Now, as then, the deadliest attacks are coming from within the Church. In an attempt to improve a system that allowed a small minority of the clergy to violate children and ameliorate the gross negligence of some bishops who recycled these predators, the American bishops instituted the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2002. It is, unfortunately, doing the Church more harm than good.

In Hope Springs Eternal in the Priestly Breast, Fr. James Valladares shows how justice and charity have been violated by some bishops in dealing with accused priests. He examines the pertinent canons that guide the Church’s judicial system and finds that these are often ignored or wrongly applied. He provides true cases that highlight the injustice of the process and the agony of priests who have been subjected to the charter’s draconian mandates.

The Church has incurred tremendous financial losses because of settlements rising from both legitimate and false claims. Her image has been marred by the secular media, which has taken advantage of the crisis. Even so, we often fail to understand how trivial these are in comparison to the damage done to the priesthood by the enactment of the charter’s policies. This is the most pressing issue that the bishops need to address.

Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Fourteen years after the end of World War II, former RAF fighter pilot Ben Benison gets a frantic phone call from Celia, the wife of his best friend, Don. It seems Don has been unfaithful, and the proof stands in the hallway of the couple’s home: Ada Hamilton, a young, fragile, pregnant girl who clutches love letters written in Don’s hand. Unfortunately, Don is in London, and Celia wants Ben to find out if her husband truly is a liar and a cheat.

Ben heads up to London to confront his old friend and then returns to Celia’s house to deliver the sad news that Don has admitted to the affair. But then things take a strange and sudden turn. Two police inspectors arrive minutes later and reveal that Don’s body has been found in his rooming house at 142 Wellington Place. Whether his death was by suicide or murder, they can’t—or, more accurately, won’t—say.

The authorities open up an inquest into Don’s death, and Ben accompanies the police back to London, where they interview witnesses and gather evidence. Tracking down Don’s mistress complicates things and there is a great twist when a second “Miss Hamilton” turns up. Something is certainly rotten at 142 Wellington Place.

Pages: 226
ISBN: 978-1-49170-729-6
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Tara Carlsen wanted to help at-risk students learn without relying on stale, clinical teaching methods. Instead of trying to find solutions in the classroom, the mathematics teacher transplanted failing students from an alternative high school to a horse ranch. There, she encouraged them to reach for the reins, and she witnessed dramatic results.

Students who could not relate to their peers or teachers could relate to horses—and suddenly their futures looked a whole lot brighter. Carlsen and her students proceeded to take an inspiring journey, learning the basics of horsemanship through equine-assisted learning—a therapeutic approach to interpersonal development using horse-related activities.

After learning the basics, the students taught peers with special needs what they’d learned, drawing upon their own struggles and triumphs to help them achieve success. Punctuated with humor, heartbreak, and hard-won triumph, Reaching for the Reins chronicles the struggles and successes of these students over five years.

Overview:

Both the Quran and Bible purportedly hold the keys to creation, but when you examine both closely, only one of them holds up.

A closer examination of Muhammad’s life and the Quran shows that both are opposed to all that God declares pure and holy. Join author John Tharp, who has traveled the world and studied these texts side by side, as he explores

• why it’s no accident that the Ten Commandments were omitted from the Quran; • which facts show Muhammad’s life and teachings are not pure and holy; • how Islam’s teachings contribute to a world full of turmoil.

Tharp also examines the secrets that Muslims don’t share with people outside of their religion, as well as the future implications of the continuing conflict between Islam and Christianity.

Cross the boundaries that divide Christianity, Islam and, other world religions to determine how and why they are different and why these differences are important. You’ll develop a deep understanding of how satanic deception breeds hostility against those who live a godly life in The Quran.

When a chance encounter with an unknown lady on the street shakes his seemingly stable world, the young lord has no idea how to react. She collapses at his feet, a frightened child in her arms. She is whisked away before he can even learn her name. She is Caroline, the younger of two daughters of a family that carries a burden of secrets as well. All they know is that their mother’s tongue is silenced not by pride but by fear—and she took her secret to her grave. Now Caroline lives in a house with only her stepfather to guide her. Lord Lonsdale exploits his station to learn of her identity and where she lives. His arrival triggers an angry quarrel between Caroline and her stepfather. Horrified to have caused such tension within her family, he departs with the promise to return the next day. But duty calls him away before he can keep his promise. He learns that, thanks to the gambling debts of his brother, his family is on the brink of financial ruin. He has no choice but to turn his attention to salvaging the family’s fortunes and honor. Now Caroline has her own secret to share—and what she must tell him may end their love before it can begin.

The Treasure of Kefer Shimon

The Treasure of Kefer Shimon
By Clifford Stevens

Published: 3/14/2012
Format: E-Book (available as ePub and Mobi files)
Pages: 344
ISBN: 978-1-46978-876-0
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

The Treasure of Kefer Shimon is the story of a young American priest given a secret assignment by the Vatican to track down the source of three ancient scrolls that have come into the possession of the Holy Sea. If the scrolls are genuine, they will cause a revolution in Biblical studies. Along the way he makes many startling and shocking discoveries deliberately kept hidden for centuries.

Filled with historical fact masterfully woven with fiction, it takes David Lavarans on a journey into the secret dealings of the Vatican, into the ancient archives of a medieval Pope, into a Middle Eastern monastery, and into the Arabian Desert. Here, he makes a shocking discovery that has been kept hidden since the time of Christ. If revealed, the ramifications will rock biblical scholars and historians.

David is neither heroic nor a pursuer of power. He is simply a young parish priest completely unaware of why he, among thousands of more prominent priests, is singled out for this mission by someone more powerful than the Pope himself.

Ancient scrolls, the high ranks of the Vatican, a young American priest, the Middle East, and secrets that will shake the world of Christianity and the interpretation of the New Testament all play a role in this intriguing biblical adventure which spans 2,000 years.

Ruminations on the Distortion of Oil Prices and Crony Capitalism

Ruminations on the Distortion of Oil Prices and Crony Capitalism
Selected Writings
By Raymond J. Learsy

Published: 7/25/2013
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 276
ISBN: 978-1-47599-453-7
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

At great cost and risk to the American and world economies, consumers are ripped off billions of dollars every day by oil interests and their malevolent influence on market pricing mechanisms. It’s essential Americans and oil consumers throughout the world understand where the money they pay for oil’s downstream products goes—including the money paid at the pump, the money paid to heat their homes, and the money paid for the array of other petroleum-based products. In Ruminations on the Distortion of Oil Prices and Crony Capitalism, author Raymond J. Learsy not only discusses the distortion of oil pricing, but also focuses on effects of the crony capitalism that has enriched a select few and left Main Street in the lurch as a result of government mismanagement, moneyed influence, and craven oversight. This collection of previously published writings shows how speculators ratchet up the prices of basic material goods essential to daily lives. Learsy describes how ceding the determination of those prices not to the laws of supply and demand but predominantly to gambling dens on the trading floors of commodity exchanges as well as the price fixing collusion of producer nations (OPEC) is crippling to the world’s economy.

Focusing as well on Wall Street’s corrupting influence on the price of oil, gasoline, and other commodities, Ruminations on the Distortion of Oil Prices and Crony Capitalism provides an overview of the basic and important theme: the United States’ enslavement to oil and the moneyed interests inextricably tied to it.
