Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon returning to Faerie, Drew learns the Dryads have captured Ian and plan to execute him as a spy. Joining forces with the Dryad peace delegation, Drew and Bi Ann race to Annwyn to rescue their cousin, but the Dryads place them on trial instead. Just as the tide turns in their favor, the Swansa issues a prophecy, which changes their lives forever. From dealing with arrogant Elves to defending against vicious enemies, Drew and Bi Ann's biggest challenge comes from the Faeries? character tests. One false move and their lives will end, but should they pass the tests, they earn the right to possess the most precious treasure in Faerie: The Pangari. To save Faerie from destruction, Drew must defeat a fire-breathing dragon, recover the hidden Pangari, and save his friend from damnation in Uffern. The only enemies more dangerous than a fire-breathing dragon are the Barghests, Fachan, and Lamia; one will eat you alive, one will tear you to shreds, and one will claim your eternal soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout American history presidents have been accused of being liars, of deceiving others for political gain, of being corrupt, or of violating the Constitution. Such criticism is, to some extent, a facet of our political culture. Yet, in recent years the intensity and depth of hostility coming from news reporters, political pundits, and even academics seems unprecedented. It is the argument of "The Making of the Postmodern Presidency" that something more fundamental is occurring other than personal mendacity, character failures, or political errors; that, in fact, the model we have used to explain presidential behavior no longer works.The dominant paradigm used to assess presidential behavior-the modern presidency-is no longer an adequate explanatory model. Nonetheless, those who study the presidency continue to use it to explain behavior. This book claims that the more relevant paradigm that should be used today is the postmodern presidency model. This book traces the origins and development of the postmodern presidency.The heart of the book is composed of an examination of the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to show how each has contributed to the evolution and formation of the postmodern presidency. A penultimate chapter analyzes the 2008 presidential election through the lens of postmodernism. The book concludes with speculation on the challenges that face the Obama presidency in light of the postmodern presidency and American democracy.

Book excerpt: The parable in Luke 15:17 can be seen from three angles. The dilemma of the shepherd is whether or not to leave the ninety-nine and go in search of the one lost sheep. It may not make sense economically and rationally, but he leaves them anyway and begins his search. The poor sheep has wandered away and is lostnot hopelessly so, but lost. The sheep does have hope, and it rests with the shepherd whose love for her is so vast and so relentless that he wont rest until he finds the sheep. And then theres the ninety-nine. Their attitude and behavior toward the lost sheep is paramount in the story. Will they join in the search? Will they celebrate with the shepherd once the sheep is returned? Or will they criticize and whine about how the shepherd spends all his time searching for the one who is lost? The One explores the foundational nature of this parable and how important its implications are for the church and ones own walk with the Lord. The value that God places on the one is life-changing for those who come to understand it. An intense and powerful vision shared through the lens of author Ronny Russells personal and professional spiritual journey. Authenticity is found in every paragraph that rings with empowering truth, inspiration, and encouragement for the one. I have watched Ronnys journey for decades and found his passion to be deep, contagious, and transformational for the one and the remnant who seek meaning in our fast-paced world filled with churches that often miss the one to preserve the institution. Ronny serves Christ above all and finds hope in Gods calling and gifting as a member of the body of Christ. Truly a worthy and engaging read! Edward Hammett, author of Spiritual Leadership in a Secular Age and Recovering Hope for Your Church

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories to Share with My Partner Book 2 is my second compilation of short stories and poems written in 2019 and 2020. The main reason for publishing these stories and poems is to again try, and I mean try, to make you smile and laugh at the outlandish storylines and to bring you a few minutes of fun. Once again, these stories should take you no longer than four minutes to read, so sit back and enjoy some very easy reading. From the first story, MY FIRST BOOK, which really got the whole idea of publishing in my mind to its fruition to SISTER KATE, based on a mostly true story in my youth. Ending with THE HAPPY VALLEY AGENCY FOR TIME TRAVEL, all these stories sprung from my mind during one of the many writing meetings I took part with a remarkable group of inspiring authors. Not to say that the story RETIREMENT PLAN did not cross my mind in my youth. Tell who you know that does not want an easier life if he/she can get away with it. My heroes in my youth arrive in my story SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF THE FUTURE. How I would love to have something like this happen in real life. Thank goodness for the imagination we humans have! My years at the orphanage are in some stories, for example, THE GREAT BATTLE and THE GREAT ESCAPE and THE MOST UNUSUAL JOB I EVER HAD actually happened but names have been change to protect many of those involved but if they purchase the book, they will see themselves and laugh. During my many trips into the city, the sounds of THE TRAIN JOURNEY came alive in my mind, so I had to put them down on paper. Going back to my youth, I based the story LISTEN TO YOUR HEART on a bullying moment that happen to me and stayed in my heart and soul ever since. Finally, the poem TWO OF ME reflects what many immigrants feel as they embrace their new lives. Once again, all these stories and poems are my attempts at the entertainment writing world. Do I succeed? Only you will know after reading the stories. Please shoot me a quick email at [email protected] and give me your thoughts. Thank you for your purchase and your support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Rights and Beyond examines the dynamic relationships between African American and Latino/a activists in the United States from the 1930s to the present day. Building on recent scholarship, this book pushes the timeframe for the study of interactions between blacks and a variety of Latino/a groups beyond the standard chronology of the civil rights era. As such, the book merges a host of community histories--each with their own distinct historical experiences and activisms--to explore group dynamics, differing strategies and activist moments, and the broader quests of these communities for rights and social justice. The collection is framed around the concept of "activism," which most fully encompasses the relationships that blacks and Latinos have enjoyed throughout the twentieth century. Wide ranging and pioneering, Civil Rights and Beyond explores black and Latino/a activism from California to Florida, Chicago to Bakersfield--and a host of other communities and cities--to demonstrate the complicated nature of African American-Latino/a activism in the twentieth-century United States. Contributors: Brian D. Behnken, Dan Berger, Hannah Gill, Laurie Lahey, Kevin Allen Leonard, Mark Malisa, Gordon Mantler, Alyssa Ribeiro, Oliver A. Rosales, Chanelle Nyree Rose, and Jakobi Williams

Gifted Bible preacher and inspiring teacher Jon Courson effortlessly combines both in this easy-to-read, verse-based devotional commentary set. Pastor Jon's years of immersion in God's Word, as he regularly preached from the Bible, produced faithful, valuable teaching that is both a scholarly work and an encouragement for living the Christian life. His Application Commentary Series combines the following elements in a unique blend of pertinent information and needed inspiration: Deep love for God's word Colorful cultural insights Insightful historical information Applicable topical studies Vivid illustrations and stories Humorous, practical, and inspiring life lessons The three volumes of this devotional commentary offer thorough and comprehensive teaching on every paragraph in the Bible along with practical, in-depth topical studies. Courson has amassed a wealth of understanding in a very readable and comfortable expositional style. Volumes include: Volume 1, Old Testament, (Genesis-Job) Volume 2, Old Testament (Psalms - Malachi) Volume 3, New Testament (Matthew - Revelation)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with a diverse set of problems in practical and theoretical ethics, these fourteen essays, three of them previously unpublished, reconfirm Joel Feinberg's leading position in the field of legal philosophy. With a clarity and humor that will be familiar to readers of his other works, Feinberg writes on topics including "wrongful life" suits in the law of torts, or whether there is any sense in the remark that a person is so badly off that he would be better off not existing at all; the morality of abortion; educational options; free expression; civil disobedience; and the duty of easy rescue in criminal law. He continues with a three-part defense of moral rights in the abstract, a discussion of voluntary euthanasia, and an inquiry into arguments of various kinds for not granting legal rights in enforcement of a person's acknowledged moral rights. This collection concludes with two essays dealing with concepts used in appraising the whole of a person's life: absurdity and self-fulfillment, and their interplay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the island of Guadalcanal, a 2,000-yard-long ridge rose from the jungle canopy. Behind it lay the air base of Henderson Field. And if Henderson Field fell, it would mean the almost certain death or capture of all 12,500 Marines on the island . . . Positioned on the ridge were the hard-fighting men of Edson’s Raiders of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion. They were the United States Marine Corps’ best of the best, and they knew defeat and retreat were simply not options. For two hellish nights in September 1942, about 840 Marines—commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Merritt Austin “Red Mike” Edson—fought one of the most pivotal battles of World War II in the Pacific, clinging desperately to their position on what would soon be known as Bloody Ridge. Bloody Ridge and Beyond is the story of how these men showed courage and valor in the face of overwhelming numbers, as told by Marlin Groft, a man who was a member of this incredible fighting force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there’s one point that Jamie McClintock and Nate Goddard can agree upon, it’s that love is overrated. Jamie doesn’t have time for it. Nate doesn’t need it. And they certainly don’t want it from each other. Jamie, a struggling free-spirited artist, is a devoted single mother who hasn’t been in a serious relationship since her boyfriend abandoned her after their son was born. Nate, a charismatic jet-setting salesman, is widowed and estranged from his father and five-year-old son, Christopher. Jamie would rather glue glitter to pinecones than go out on a date. Nate spends most of his nights wooing his clients. Then one afternoon Nate’s father drops dead of a heart attack. In that moment, their highly guarded worlds collide. When Nate shows up at his childhood home to settle the estate and reclaim his son, he discovers that Jamie has been living in the Connecticut farmhouse as his father’s roommate. Mistrustful of each other’s motives, Nate and Jamie bicker about everything from children’s nicknames to Jamie’s fashion choices to Nate’s home renovation methods. It doesn’t help that Christopher prefers Jamie to his absentee father. But after the funeral, Nate and Jamie begin to see each other in a more forgiving light. Nate, traveling to sales conferences all over the country with a sullen Christopher in tow, learns he can’t breeze his way through single parenthood. Jamie, who has moved back in with her sister, wonders at the wisdom of her unconventional choices as a woman with a child to support. And both begin to realize they don’t know as much about love as they thought. Still wounded by past heartbreak and sorrow, can they learn to trust each other and open their hearts? From the Hardcover edition.

Book excerpt: This volume offers a critical and creative analysis of the innovations of Deathscapes, a transnational digital humanities project that maps the sites and distributions of custodial deaths in locations such as police cells, prisons and immigration detention centres. An international team of authors take a multidisciplinary approach to questions of race, geographies of state violence and countermaps of resistance across North America, Australia and Europe. The book establishes rich lines of dialogic connection between digital and other media by incorporating both traditional scholarly resources and digital archives, databases and social media. Chapters offer a comprehensive mapping of the key attributes through which racial violence is addressed and contested through digital media and articulate, in the process, the distinctive dimensions of the Deathscapes site. This interdisciplinary volume will be an important resource for scholars, students and activists working in the areas of Cultural Studies, Media and Visual Studies, Indigenous Studies, Refugee Studies and Law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I want to tell a story. A long but simple story. A tale of long recovery. A tale of love. A tale of lost and found.’ In his remarkable new novel, award-winning Australian author Michael Meehan sensitively explores the links between generational conflict, family, and the creative act. At its heart An Ungrateful Instrument is a novel that portrays a son’s struggle to be more than a mere instrument of the father’s ambition. Antoine Forqueray and later his son Jean-Baptiste, were each brought up as child prodigies to the court of Louis XIV. Together, they were said to be the only musicians in France who could play the father’s brilliant, eccentric music for the viola da gamba. In an imaginative masterstroke the story is told by Jean-Baptiste’s highly attuned deaf-mute sister, Charlotte-Elisabeth. Threaded throughout, deep in a forest an old man creates the gift of a special viol for the boy, Jean Baptiste. This is a novel that can almost be heard like music, as it soars in language, theme, and a wisdom that both embodies and transcends its period setting. ‘An imagination of another order.’ — The Australian

Ordained by an ancient goddess of mercy and light, former knight Allystaire Coldbourne has become a paladin, a hero out of legend. But evil stalks him, angry gods align against him, and greedy warlords want him dead. With the help of his friends, each blessed with extraordinary powers by the Goddess, Allystaire must escape the clutches of sorcerers and wicked rulers who will stop at nothing to destroy him as he continues his dangerous quest to bring peace and unity to the fractured and war-torn Baronies. With the Longest Night of mid-winter approaching, the Goddess weakens and armies march—armies determined to bring destruction and horror to the paladin and all who follow him. Allystaire is soon left with only his powers, his handful of friends, and his mission to be a beacon of hope, still and bright, in the encroaching darkness.
