Jonn and Tina Langin have little more than one month remaining with their young son.A delightful little boy, Timmy is in the preparation stages for his transition into F.O.C.S. (pronounced 'folks') upon the arrival of his third birthday. On what was to be their final vacation with their son, unexpected discoveries in a dingy Belleville, Illinois basement bring Tina face to face with her first glimpse of 'Motherhood'.Forbidden keepsakes, and an old woman's memories, reveal a time when 'Family' was important, and the birth of a child was more than a simple biological function. But today, such thoughts are unacceptable. Bonding with one's offspring is considered an illness, and the signs of this malady are beginning to show in Tina-leaving her with two choices. First; submit to medical intervention to eradicate the thoughts, or second; convince her husband to abandon all that they have been raised to believe. Within the confines of America's 'secured homeland' escape is impossible and detection is… Read More

Chickamauga, Stone River, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, and Sherman's March to the Sea. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Hendrick Fitch was at all of them and more. Looking back 40 years, he recounts the battles, the humorous tales, the anecdotes of Grant and other famous soldiers whom he met, and simple soldier stories. "As we crossed a creek before arriving at the battlefield, the horses all stopped to drink. Grant pulled out his match-box and lighted a cigar. While he was doing this, his horse let fly with his hind foot at [Baldy] Smith's horse. Whereupon Smith hit Grant's horse across the rump with his stick and at the same time made some familiar remark to Grant about riding such a vicious horse. I was looking intently at Grant at the time and was struck with his perfect stolid indifference. He never for an instant changed the position of his hand or head in lighting his cigar, nor said a word, nor did he seem conscious of the episode, though his horse moved up suddenly. I thought it very characteristic… Read More

Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers, such as the Nile and Niger. Some of the earliest great civilizations were born there, and they give us an insight into the smaller kingdoms of ancient Africa.Egypt is the main source of knowledge of many neighboring kingdoms that were just as rich and developed. Unfortunately, they were forgotten in time, as other civilizations and kingdoms replaced them as the continent's power bases. Only recently are we rediscovering the might of the Kingdom of Aksum, the political prowess of Kush, and the richness of the mysterious Punt. The early medieval kingdoms of Ghana and Mali are still being researched due to their unique pre-Muslim culture and… Read More

Poems for You and Me is a collection of poems, most of which were written through the year 2019. These simple poems address everyday subjects that are close to the poet's heart. They provide a glimpse into the poet's life journey, and along the way they reflect the poet's views on life, death, love, loss, wealth, health, faith, values, friends, foes, joys, sorrows, dreams, hopes and everything in between. There are even poems about poems. There is also commentary about the state of our world, the hypocrisy of people, countries and religions, and the vanity of mankind. And there is some fun stuff too. The hallmark of these poems is their simplicity, which makes them at once accessible and memorable for everyone who reads them.

El Secreto del reino de Dios les ha sido dado, les dijo Cristo a sus seguidores, y unos pocos pescadores, un publicano y una multitud multicolor y diversa de creyentes de Jerusalén, partieron para trastornar el mundo. Tuvieron éxito. En el siglo dieciséis en Europa, los anabaptistas, predicando de noche en las ciudades, en las calles y en los bosques detrás de cercas y barandillas, empezaron a hacer lo mismo. ¿Cuál era su secreto? En este libro podrás saber lo que ellos lograron mientras que recordaron el secreto, y lo que perdieron cuando lo olvidaron. ¿Fue su secreto un retorno a la Biblia? No, eran más que sólo biblistas o fundamentalistas. ¿Fue un retorno al modo apostólico? No, eran mucho más que guardadores de tradiciones. Ni el fundamentalismo ni el tradicionalismo jamás han mantenido unido al Cristianismo ni lo han hecho trabajar y operar bien. El "secreto del reino de Dios" es pasmosa e imponentemente sencillo. Con sólo dos palabras, Cristo se lo reveló a sus amigos, quienes,… Read More
