It Can Happen

By: Betty McInnis

Craig McPherson lives a mundane life. He's a family man who owns an oil company, and he spends most of his days bored and dissatisfied. But fate has something else in mind. Seemingly without reason, Craig gets pulled into a tragic murder-suicide investigation. The murder-suicide has nothing to do with Craig and his company ... or does it ? Soon, he finds himself caught between two foreign oil cartels, both competing for his company and his expertise. Like a marionette controlled by unseen hands, Craig is yanked back and forth in a struggle for power. The cartels are fighting for ownership of the world's oil supply-a direct threat to the United States-and Craig is standing in their way. In order to survive, he must join the fight, risking his own life and the lives of his family. But Craig McPherson isn't a soldier or a terrorist. He's a regular guy, living a regular life, who must now use his intellect to save his family from certain death and the United States from unfriendly domination. He must conceive a plan to trap his adversaries and beat them at their own game-using himself as bait. Suddenly, Craig's mundane life as a CEO and father doesn't seem so awful.

Homeless former head librarian Katie Hand has a son/grandson, one of the first Air Force E-15 pilots to arrive in Oman. Rancher Red, Hubba-Hubba Clay, has a son, somewhat estranged from him, a career Marine already in Al Jubal with the California desert-trained 7th MEB. Together they wait for war.

I Remember It Well

By: Betty Kampen, van Ommen

Betty Kampen is a jewel from the crown of Holland! Here, Betty, the quintessential New Canadian, sets forth the familiar yet ever-new story—the memories of the immigrant and her family arriving in Canada in the 1950s, and to a rural setting at that. It is a bittersweet tale of a child in a strange school in a wintry land, of family life on an isolated farm, one without amenities; of the yearnings of a young girl to be off the farm and to leave the old Dutch ways, yet with the need to cling to and follow her faith; and of her courtship and married life as she starts her own family. Her desire for further schooling leads to nursing. Even then, heartbreak continues; her faith is tested by family tragedy. My neighbor Betty resides with her husband, Rudy, in an Orangeville condominium. Here we met, and I became acquainted with her life and activities—and her memoirs—as she was teaching me Dutch in my preparation for a conference in the Netherlands. Husband and wife are retired now but still reach out to others through hospital volunteer work, beautification through gardening, seasonal decorating in and around the condo, and involvement in their local Canadian Reformed Church. Kevin Harrington Retired teacher-librarian, linguist, and geographer

Nothing Wasted

By: Betty Terry Smith

When her husband announces that he has been unfaithful and asks for a divorce after twenty-eight years of marriage, it appears to Betty that her dream has died. However, in the midst of her pain, God gives her a promise of restoration. Clinging to that promise, she chooses to stay faithful until her husband's return, however long it may take. With candor and courage Betty Smith shares her highs and lows, from the courtship, to the birth of her children, to seeing the man she loved walk out the door, and how she weathered the storm by standing on the promises of God. Nothing Wasted is a love story, not just between Betty and her husband, but also between Betty and the God who was always there, always faithful, and who never let her down.

How Not to Travel

“Where Are You Going Next? I Won’t Go There!”

By: Norman L. Lofland,Betty J. Lofland

Norman L. Lofland and Betty J. Lofland share the lessons they learned traveling, teaching, and living abroad in their memoir, How Not to Travel. The couple started their teaching careers at Bethel College, a Mennonite liberal arts college in North Newton, Kansas. In 1963, interesting adventures developed after a travel agent friend inspired them to apply for jobs in Beirut, Lebanon. The Loflands never imagined that they would end up teaching four decades abroad. Their adventures included meeting the Shah of Iran; having an audience with Colonel Muamar Khaddafi; interacting with Yasser Arafat before the Israelis bombed the Palestinian headquarters; driving a Karmann Ghia from Beirut to London and back, as well as from Beirut to Tehran and back; designing a theatre in Tehran with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West architects; and perhaps most important, exchanging ideas with students in Lebanon, Iran, Tunisia, China, Macau, and North Cyprus. Join the Loflands as they recall the highs, the lows, and the life lessons they learned amid the reality of war, revolution, and exotic living.

The Puffin of Death

The Puffin of Death

By: Betty Webb

California zookeeper Theodora Bentley travels to Iceland to pick up an orphaned polar bear cub destined for the Gunn Zoo's newly installed Northern Climes exhibit. The trip is intended to be a combination of work and play. But on day two, while horseback riding near a picturesque seaside village, Teddy discovers a man lying atop a puffin burrow, shot through the head. The victim is identified as American birdwatcher Simon Parr, winner of the largest Powerball payout in history. Is Teddy a witness—or a suspect? Others include not only Parr's wife, a famed suspense novelist, but fellow members of the birding club Parr had generously treated to their lavish Icelandic expedition. Hardly your average birders, several of them have had serious brushes with the law back in the States. Guessing that an American would best understand other Americans, police detective Thorvaald Haraldsson grudgingly concedes her innocence and allows Teddy to tag along with the group to volcanoes, glaciers, and deep continental rifts in quest of rare bird species. But once another member of the club is murdered and a rockfall barely misses Teddy's head, Haraldsson forbids her to continue. She ignores him and, in a stunning, solitary face-off with the killer in Iceland's wild interior, concludes an investigation at once exotic, thrilling, and rich in animal lore.

The Burglary

The Burglary

The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBI

By: Betty Medsger

INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS & EDITORS (IRE) BOOK AWARD WINNER • The story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists—quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans—that made clear the shocking truth that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation. “Impeccably researched, elegantly presented, engaging.”—David Oshinsky, New York Times Book Review • “Riveting and extremely readable. Relevant to today's debates over national security, privacy, and the leaking of government secrets to journalists.”—The Huffington Post It begins in 1971 in an America being split apart by the Vietnam War . . . A small group of activists set out to use a more active, but nonviolent, method of civil disobedience to provide hard evidence once and for all that the government was operating outside the laws of the land. The would-be burglars—nonpro’s—were ordinary people leading lives of purpose: a professor of religion and former freedom rider; a day-care director; a physicist; a cab driver; an antiwar activist, a lock picker; a graduate student haunted by members of her family lost to the Holocaust and the passivity of German civilians under Nazi rule. Betty Medsger's extraordinary book re-creates in resonant detail how this group scouted out the low-security FBI building in a small town just west of Philadelphia, taking into consideration every possible factor, and how they planned the break-in for the night of the long-anticipated boxing match between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, knowing that all would be fixated on their televisions and radios. Medsger writes that the burglars removed all of the FBI files and released them to various journalists and members of Congress, soon upending the public’s perception of the inviolate head of the Bureau and paving the way for the first overhaul of the FBI since Hoover became its director in 1924. And we see how the release of the FBI files to the press set the stage for the sensational release three months later, by Daniel Ellsberg, of the top-secret, seven-thousand-page Pentagon study on U.S. decision-making regarding the Vietnam War, which became known as the Pentagon Papers. The Burglary is an important and gripping book, a portrait of the potential power of nonviolent resistance and the destructive power of excessive government secrecy and spying.

Daisies & Thistles

Fellow Travelers on Life’s Journey

By: Betty Street

God may have placed someone in your life to guide you toward his purpose—a family member, friend, or acquaintance who inspired or connected you with someone who influenced your decisions. In moments of crisis, unseen angels may have surrounded and protected you. Betty’s biographical account describes those relationships as divine appointments. Remarkable stories are shared so that your interest may be piqued in the supernatural, recognizing the fact that we are not alone. God is always near, lovingly guiding us along life’s journey. Fleeting, temporary, and lifelong acquaintances cross our paths. Some encourage us onward by instilling wisdom and advice. Others inflict pain, trap us, and are in need of forgiveness. Choosing bitterness keeps us stuck on that path. Forgiveness offers freedom and moves us forward. Inviting Jesus to walk with us allows us to be forgiven and enables us to forgive others and ourselves. Ultimately, God places people on our path for a purpose. Do you recognize people on your own path who fit this criteria? If so, it is a definitive moment for you. Leave your troubles with God, and trust him completely. Celebrate the easy roads, and learn from rocky trails. Then give thanks to God and give him all the praise. This book is meant to encourage you to view your life from a new perspective. Since the Lord is our loving, forgiving, and protective God, Betty suggests that you observe every incident that you have with other people and determine God’s part in it. You may encounter a divine appointment.
