Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had a stranger pay for your dinner? Or buy you new shoes? Fill your tank with gas? Supply food for your child? Has a stranger ever blessed you financially and let you know that Jesus loves you on one of your darkest days? What a blessing that is! But the greater blessing is to be that stranger who pays it forward while being led by God. In Twenty Bucks and Some Change, author Kathy L. Pierce shares a collection of uplifting pay-it-forward stories, where just a small contribution of time, effort, and a little spare change turned into opportunities for witnessing the amazing presence of God in our everyday lives. Whether its offering someone a thoughtful memento, caring for a person in need, or sharing the gospel message of Christ with someone in spiritual darkness, these stories show both the simple and profound ways in which we can all see each other as special, just as God sees us. It is better to give than to receive, and Twenty Bucks and Some Change can inspire you to let your light shine and change lives through Gods blessings. The more you give, the more you will want to giveand the more God will enable you to give.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is in the throes of a historic reckoning with racism, and official narratives are up for revision as we struggle to bring our democracy forward. Re-evaluating who should be honored as a national hero is a key front in the fight for racial justice. Whose lives and contributions should be officially celebrated in our monuments, statues, street names, and the portraits on the money we exchange with one another every day? For some, it's Andrew Jackson-a slaveholder who led military campaigns against Native Americans to expand US territory-who deserves to appear on the front of our most commonly used paper currency, the twenty-dollar bill. For others, it's Harriet Tubman-the abolitionist and Civil War veteran who repeatedly risked her life to free others from slavery-who better deserves the spot as an example of what America is and can be. The debate over the future of the twenty-dollar bill exemplifies the country's struggle to come to terms with historic realities of white supremacy and abolitionism, and the ways in which those legacies are still active and influential today. Jackson represents a flawed political vision rooted in racial and economic domination, while Harriet Tubman's life story represents the struggle for liberation and justice for all-demands that protest movements have advanced with renewed urgency since the murder of George Floyd and the social inequities highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic. In Twenty Dollars and Change, African American scholar Clarence Lusane takes stock of the millions of Americans who have mobilized for and against honoring Tubman by enshrining her image on money, and places that debate within the ongoing struggle to realize a democracy in which her emancipatory, inclusive vision prevails.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty Dollars and Change places Harriet Tubman’s life and legacy in a long tradition of resistance, illuminating the ongoing struggle to realize a democracy in which her emancipatory vision prevails. America is in the throes of a historic reckoning with racism, with the battle for control over official narratives at ground zero. Across the country, politicians, city councils, and school boards are engaged in a highly polarized debate about whose accomplishments should be recognized, and whose point of view should be included in the telling of America’s history. In Twenty Dollars and Change, historian Clarence Lusane, author of the acclaimed The Black History of the White House, writes from a basic premise: Racist historical narratives and pervasive social inequities are inextricably linked—changing one can transform the other. Taking up the debate over the future of the twenty-dollar bill, Lusane uses the question of Harriet Tubman vs. Andrew Jackson as a lens through which to view the current state of our nation's ongoing reckoning with the legacies of slavery and foundational white supremacy. He places the struggle to confront unjust social conditions in direct connection with the push to transform our public symbols, making it plain that any choice of whose life deserves to be remembered and honored is a direct reflection of whose basic rights are deemed worthy of protection, and whose are not. "Engaging and insightful, Twenty Dollars and Change illuminates the grassroots effort to have our national currency reflect the diversity of America and all of its citizens—those ordinary and extraordinary people who have stood up and demanded freedom, equality and justice. A must read!"—Kate Clifford Larson, author of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero

Book excerpt: Case Devries, a cadet at the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, is earning some beer money by working in Eugene Steins textile warehouse on Saturday afternoons. Rosanne, Eugenes sexy little secretary, picks him up from the academy gate and drops him off each Saturday. This leads to the inevitablea relationship doomed to fail. Or does it? It is, in any case, the upbeat to an adventure that, years later, takes Case and his buddy Brian OMalley from their home away from home, the Seamens Church Instituteotherwise known as the Doghouseto India, aboard a ramshackle rust bucket of a freighter called the SS Flower Power. Aptly named for the era in which this adventure takes place and even more so the termination of the era, the Flower Power meets its final destination at the close of the sixties. The crew manning the good ship Flower Power couldnt be more colorful if they had been handpicked by a madman. They range from the utterly chaotic Captain Peachfuzz to the forty-five-year-old, three-hundred-pound John Aruda, an able-bodied seaman and a flower child who rises to every occasion, including arranging a marriage on the high seas. And then there is the mysterious container stowed aboard and buried beneath a load of chemical fertilizer that the Flower Power is carrying to India. The wheeling and dealing he has to do to get the container back where it belongs eventually brings Case into contact with Eugene and Rosanne, the two people he least expected to cross paths with ever again. A Doghouse Tale is the hilarious story of a motley crew sailing a ship held together by baling wire, paint, and a prayer. It touches on the deplorable condition of the US Merchant Marines in the 1960s, when a nation at war pressed old battle wagons such as the Flower Power into service, making those ships the laughingstock of the maritime world. It is also a moving story, showing that when the chips are down, a multicultural crew bands together as one to come to the aid of a shipmate.

Book excerpt: "Mel Mathews' place in the ranks of fine contemporary writers is assured." In The Chronicles of a Wandering Soul series, the wandering, questing central figure of Malcolm Clay has become a new literary icon. With thoughtful ruminations, keen humor, informative explorations of themes from religion to traits of visited countries, and so many clever double entendres, Mel Mathews' place in the ranks of fine contemporary writers is assured. —Grady Harp, goodreads, Amazon.com Top10 Reviewer” An introspective allegory about the search for prosperity of the soul . . .”—Midwest Book Review” Vive LeRoi: A powerful kick at the American way of life."LeRoi is ostensibly a novel, and not overtly psychological, but it lays bare the psychic plight of a middle-aged man looking for meaning. It is a powerful kick at the American way of life-ambition, success, money and power-but it is redemptive in the narrator's search for internal Eros and an outer relationship he can trust himself to believe in.—Daryl Sharp, author and publisher, Inner City Books In Book One of The Chronicles of a Wandering Soul, Malcolm Clay, a rather ornery but 'successful-in-life' character, finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere, his fancy MG allowing him to limp into a gas station with a diner-cum-motel on the other side of the road. Subtly layered in symbol and metaphor, one soon realizes that the simplicity of this novel is only skin deep. The old mechanic, a study in laissez-faire and cool disdain, tries the patience of our hero. As a matter of fact, all members of the cast including the Queen who rules the diner, the pretty waitress and the lanky fast-order cook are highly complicated human beings. The enigmatic and moody old Chevy half-ton pick-up truck Malcolm borrows is unreliable in the conventional sense, but does grant him the freedom to escape the confines of the motel and the frustration of his broken down MG. 'Ol' Reliable' guides him over a cattle guard, a mysterious unseen gateway into sanctuary, the oasis of a river that cuts through this otherwise barren wasteland where he can cast a fly into adventure-and misadventure-yet beyond that, healing waters for the soul. Could this perhaps be a modern day model of a questing Perceval and the Grail Legend's Fisherking?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinarily insightful and thought-provoking look at how our society and culture are going to change, and change rapidly, as the price of gasoline, heating oil, and all other everyday consumer products that are derived from oil continue to escalate. Imagine an everyday world in which the price of gasoline (and oil) continues to go up, and up, and up. Think about the immediate impact that would have on our lives. Of course, everybody already knows how about gasoline has affected our driving habits. People can't wait to junk their gas-guzzling SUVs for a new Prius. But there are more, not-so-obvious changes on the horizon that Chris Steiner tracks brilliantly in this provocative work. Consider the following societal changes: people who own homes in far-off suburbs will soon realize that there's no longer any market for their houses (reason: nobody wants to live too far away because it's too expensive to commute to work). Telecommuting will begin to expand rapidly. Trains will become the mode of national transportation (as it used to be) as the price of flying becomes prohibitive. Families will begin to migrate southward as the price of heating northern homes in the winter is too pricey. Cheap everyday items that are comprised of plastic will go away because of the rising price to produce them (plastic is derived from oil). And this is just the beginning of a huge and overwhelming domino effect that our way of life will undergo in the years to come. Steiner, an engineer by training before turning to journalism, sees how this simple but constant rise in oil and gas prices will totally re-structure our lifestyle. But what may be surprising to readers is that all of these changes may not be negative - but actually will usher in some new and very promising aspects of our society. Steiner will probe how the liberation of technology and innovation, triggered by climbing gas prices, will change our lives. The book may start as an alarmist's exercise.... but don't be misled. The future will be exhilarating.

Book excerpt: This box set collection includes the second "Mating Season" trilogy of the Wolves of Angels Rest where sexy wolf shifter heroes find their strong and sassy fated mates. LOST WOLF The harvest moon is hidden… The black wolf lost everything when the Kingdom Guard werewolf hunters drugged him, tortured him, and tried to turn him into a weapon against his own kind. All that remains is Zane—a man with no memories, no future, and a bloodthirsty monster lurking under his skin. But after a seemingly chance encounter with a curvy, black-haired beauty, Zane starts to remember things: glimpses of his past, his favorite book, the taste of desire… Mahalia Booker needed to dig up the past — just a few petroglyphs from an archeological site on Mesa Diablo — to finish her master's in history. She never expected to uncover a secret society of werewolves thousands of years old. She's always stood on the outside, but now she's become a part of the story — a story with a scary, strangely fascinating and sexy hero… GHOST WOLF The harvest moon is rising… Corrine Ayres was a werewolf with a charmed life. Until her love was taken from her in a place called Mesa Diablo. Javier Roque's wolf never rose, so he left Angels Rest to make his own way. Until a deadly threat to his pack brought him home. Can the widowed she-wolf and the tattooed bad boy missing his wild side find what they desire? Or will they lose everything before they can claim their fate? CRY WOLF The killing moon is full… The wolves of Angels Rest knew they'd have to face off against the shifter-hating Kingdom Guard some day. And that day has come. Diesel has lived his whole life protecting others, so no way will he let the Guard bastards hurt anyone else. The pack is on lockdown until the battle is over. But then his past finally catches up with him. Country-western star Willow Raleigh has been on the road for years, looking for something she lost a long time ago. And she finds more than she ever bargained for: a secret that will change her world, a menace that will change her body, and a love that will change her soul. ___________________________________________ Keywords: werewolf wolf shifter paranormal romance alpha male fated mates second chance at love friends to lovers coming home military hero rockstar thunderbird bbw

Book excerpt: Tobias was like a bodyguard to a rock star. He had devoted most of his adult life to the care and protection of the healer. Every day for more than 20 years he had listened to the complaints of the people who showed up in droves, clamoring for an audience with the wonder-worker, seeking relief and respite from their ails and illnesses. When the crowds became unmanageable, as they always did, Tobias would move the healer to a new location, but people always managed to find them again - first a few, then more and more every day. And now the healer was gravely ill himself, and Tobias was faced with a dilemma. What to do. Whatever he did, it would not involve prayer, because Tobias did not believe in the Christian God, nor in His miracles, and when the final solution came, it was stunning, and breathtaking, and something that would change Tobias' life forever.

Book excerpt: Buzzie and the Bull chronicles a baseball year in the lives of two lifelong friends who couldn't be more different: Buzzie Bavasi, the legendary general manager of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, and Al "the Bull" Ferrara, bon vivant, fountain of joy, and bench player. Their 1965 baseball journey encompassed a thrilling pennant race settled on the final day of the season, a city engulfed in flames, a perfect game, and a GM who extolled his friend the Bull as a hero in May and then banished him from the team to the depths of public purgatory in July. The partnership of these two characters--the general manager who valued fearlessness above all else and the crazy player who loved living on the edge--became the embodiment of champions who never choked in the clutch. Over seventeen years, Bavasi's teams won eight pennants and four World Series titles. His approach deserves review, and his friendship with Ferrara illustrates the ground on which he staked his baseball career. The summer of 1965 proved Bavasi's thesis that champions are built on players with one core characteristic: nerves of steel. Buzzie and the Bull offers a counterpoint to today's focus on advanced statistical analysis that may be crowding out the important work of discovering a player's unique human qualities: the intangibles. Gauge those intangibles correctly and you get an edge--and edges help win championships.
