On a cold November night, Rocky Scarpati, a former hard-hitting prize fighter and now an even harder hitting newspaper columnist, pumps three bullets into the back of his nemesis. Then Rocky nail-bitingly observes from a distance as another man is tried for his crime, all the while wondering if the Scales of Justice will suddely tilt....directly towards him! NOBODY LIKES A FALLEN ANGEL is a fast moving crime saga, a courtroom thriller and a love story with a twist at the end that will make your head spin.
The Angel centers around the main character, Nick Grace, who has become a victim of tragedy at the hands of the main villain, Mr. Jordan. Because of his early childhood trauma, Nick develops a mental illness called PTSD. During the story line, he also becomes a Christian and often struggles with his mental illness and his dedication to Jesus Christ. Everything that happens to Nick happens to real-life people, and his story, although fictional, is a mirror image of today’s dark society and its need for redemption.
Video games fuel a fundamental human drive for adventure—like the epic quest to slay zombies, a solo voyage to rescue the princess, or setting off with a clan to defeat the final boss. The desire to be a hero in your journey is something Bobby Angel can relate to. A lifelong gamer, he was the cohost of the God and Gaming series on YouTube and often appears as a guest on Bearded Blevins’s Around the Halo on Twitch. In Gaming and the Heroic Life, Bobby explains that you don’t have to just play the role of hero in a game—you can actually pursue a heroic life by the way you engage the virtual world. Gaming and the Heroic Life is a map to becoming not only a better gamer but also a better person—one who has a purpose and knows where they fit into the world. The book contains three levels: Level One explores why people love games and what games have to do with God. Level Two examines how the Easter eggs of truth, beauty, and goodness in games impact players in much the same way that they impact your relationship with God. Level Three demonstrates how gaming can propel players AFK (away from keyboard) to find purpose and meaning in service to others. Bobby shows where video games intersect with a life of faith in God—how games echo with our call to holiness and how we can respond to that call in both the virtual and real worlds.
Homer's stories and poetry are very old; Greek plays almost as. Gutenberg pressed words onto paper in 1450. By 1572 the essay was still in hiding (Montaigne, France); nearly last onto the literary scene. Curious. The essay's reputation has often suffered relative to its older siblings. But it need not. For the essay has no need to supplant nor replace any other literary form; it can, and best lives in perfect complimentary harmony with literature's entirety. For the essay has several built in strengths and charms. May my listing of them here enrich your reading and appreciation herein: - Their brevity corresponds with contemporary attention spans and schedules. Have you ever had more to do? And smaller reading fragments? Enough said. - Profundity, humor, and interest rest in the author's hand equally in all forms; but sheer quantity of ideas zeniths with the essay. Each new page can bring the reader to whole new vistas. The novelist is constrained by narrative, character, etc. and can not possibly keep pace. If you want scope.... - Because of the above mentioned volume and breadth of ideas, the reader can be expanded faster ... and in more directions. - The mind, psyche, and consciousness of the author is revealed ... faster - a rapidly peeled onion. Quality reading is rewarded ... Shakespeare would approve. - The bite-sized portions are better read aloud to loved ones. - The "open anywhere" quality can allow for magic, it-was-meant- to-be moments. What fun and reading novelty to open anywhere and go! And now is the time to do so. May you be enriched.
Rocky Scarpati is a young, narcissistic womanizer and theatrical-school dropout who believes in the old Shakespearean adage that the world is a stage and everyone is playing a part. Rocky chooses his parts with wild abandonment and pursues them with vigor. First, he’s the tough young kid seeking fame and fortune in the prize fighting ring. Then he’s the dedicated and hard-hitting newspaper columnist who seeks to change the world with his words and, finally, a role he never sought; a murder defendant on trial for a crime he never committed. But is he as guilty as the thug who did? Nobody Likes a Fat Jockey is the tale of a prize fighter and wanna-be actor who dares to live his dreams and face the consequences, even when they threaten to crush him.

Is not praying to a saint an abomination that has made the Catholic church as desolate as its counter part the protestants and their abominable churches? Indulgencies started the down fall of the church in the seventh century. Now, it is the Rosary or Novena in praying to Saints, which started in the 13th century and is still continuing. God forbid! Mary cannot be the Queen of Heaven because Jesus is her son. And if Mary is the Queen of Heaven than incest has occurred in Heaven by the Living God. God forbid! Jesus is the King of Heaven and the church is His queen. Glory to God!
It is my hope that there was a poem just for you; And in your heart you feel God’s love just as I do. And within these words you have something to smile at; And if these words have not touch you yet. Please forgive me for the time I took, and the next time I will write a much better book.
Justin Hayes is richly blessed. He grew up the son of a preacher and a school teacher, and like most boys in the rural South, he grew up hunting and fishing. He earned his money in the tobacco and hay fields surrounding his home, and joined his senior class in the jungles of Vietnam. After returning home he married his high school sweetheart and raised a fine son. But being blessed doesn't mean that life is easy. He worked as a lineman for the power company and was always available to help his neighbors on their farms. His wife suddenly left him for a rich man when his son was ten years old, so he was left with a son to raise by himself. But now that was all behind him. Having inherited fortythree acres of land in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, Justin retired and moved to his new property looking forward to spending his remaining years enjoying God's creation and relaxing in his new home. Unbeknownst to Justin, he had just moved into the center of a hornet's nest-a nest filled with lies and corruption, an evil neighbor, and a crooked sheriff. A nest that was under surveillance and monitored twenty-four hours a day. A nest that has ties to terrorism and organized crime with the most wretched and evil people who have ever walked the earth. Not being someone to back down from a fight, Justin digs his heels in for the fight of his life, but he is not alone. Before this fight is over, the SBI, FBI, Homeland Security, CIA, and even the Pentagon line up behind him to defeat this monster. He will need all the skills he acquired in Vietnam, plus help and guidance from the Almighty to defeat this enemy.
Four nostalgic, heart-warming Christmas romances to curl up with and enjoy. ANNIE'S LETTER: (prequel to Lantern In The Window) 1885--WIFE WANTED, OLDER WOMAN, MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HOUSEWIFERY AND FARMING. OBJECT, MATRIMONY. Annie answered Noah’s newspaper ad for a mail order wife because her deaf sister, Bets, was going to die if she went on working in Lazenby’s Cotton Mill. Annie's landlady, Elinora Potts, assured Annie that the not-so-little lies she told in her letters were necessary. Does the end ever justify the means? Elinora is certain it does. BUT ANNIE IS TERRIFIED. What will happen to her and Bets when Noah finds out the truth? LANTERN IN THE WINDOW; Annie, a young, desperate mail-order bride, who's never laid eyes on a cow, marries Noah, a farmer who advertises for an experienced, older farm woman. And she also doesn't mention that her deaf sister is part of the bargain. But Noah isn't honest either. His old, sick father needs cared for--and even Noah can't deal with the old man's anger and violence. Needed-one big Christmas miracle!

Imagine a universe without laws. In heaven, Lucifer persuaded a third of the angels to join his rebellion by appealing to the wicked angelsaEUR(tm) desire to do evil. Ridding themselves of God and His laws that kept them from doing evil, they would be free to do what they wanted to do without fear of punishment. In the ensuring battle, Lucifer and his followers were cast down to earth. So where on earth are they? Demon spirits need a human body to do the devils work. aEURoeEven from your own numbers,aEUR Paul forewarned the church, aEURoemen will arise and distort the truth in order to draw disciples after themaEUR (Matthew 13:18). Though demonic spirits disguise their evil intent by masquerading under cloaks of respectability as Judas did, their false teachings and evil deeds expose them for who they really serve. Evil opposes everything God has established. SatanaEUR(tm)s intent to abolish GodaEUR(tm)s laws and his desire to be worshiped aEURoelike GodaEUR has never changed. What Satan failed to achieve in heaven, he today has achieved on earth. ThereaEUR(tm)s an abundance of ignorance because thereaEUR(tm)s a famine of the truth on the land. Under the banner of aEURoeChristianity,aEUR SatanaEUR(tm)s minions have spun a web of lies in the upper echelon of our government and in many books on religion and American history that obscures the truth and shapes peopleaEUR(tm)s thinking. Millions have been taken captive by lies, and the only lifesaving antidote for someone in a comatose state of ignorance is GodaEUR(tm)s truth. Evil is often necessary to draw a nation or an individual back to God (1 Corinthians 5:5). This book is a guide warning those, escaping the fire by GodaEUR(tm)s grace, about the devilaEUR(tm)s snares that want to snatch them back into the fire.

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE ALL YOU WERE CREATED FOR In Identity Crisis you will find power and purpose by putting your faith in the One who can transform your identity. Even in crisis, He can do far beyond anything you can imagine. What’s the greatest crisis in our world today? Dr. Bobby Wagner, contends it is our inability to believe in the power of God in our lives. Is it possible to read the Bible and believe God does not work powerfully through His people? Our miraculous identity in Christ has not ceased, our faith in it has. It seems we are losing our faith in our God given identity, in the Bible, in the church, and in our world. A dramatic transformation takes place when you believe in the power of the Gospel. As our unbelief continues one more person misses the Good News. As a result, of the nearly 75 million Americans who have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation, more than 70 million have never shared the Good News. In a postmodern and post Christian culture in the midst of a crisis of unbelief, the only way souls will be touched is if God’s people become witnesses of the power of the Gospel.
What if every successful start-up followed a predictable pattern, and by knowing that pattern ahead of time, you could be more successful? In The Hockey Stick Principles, business consultant Bobby Martin shares his study of more than 100 new businesses, from Lending Tree to Under Armour to iContact, to show that every one of them has had a "hockey stick" growth history, starting with a tinkering period, moving through the daunting "blade years" before finally making it to the crucial inflection point that precedes surging growth. In this simple but incredibly helpful book, Martin takes us through each of those four stages of the hockey stick pattern, giving us a road map that will help any entrepreneur navigate the inevitable ups and downs of their business's early years.
Dr. Bob Scurlock's father shared something with him that all of us wonder about. He told him "death is not the end." From his father's near death experience (NDE) and his mother's out of body experience (OBE), on to more than 35 personal NDE accounts, "The Passage, from Death to Life," gives every reader hope that there is something to look forward to after death. Common phenomena experienced by countless others describing "the light," "the tunnel," voices," or "the presence of deceased," are shared as common threads supporting what Dr. Raymond Moody, expert on NDEs, outlines as the nine elements that generally occur during the experience. In addition to these real-life, near-death accounts, Scurlock sheds his own light on these phenomena, from his personal experiences including his own encounter with God at fifteen, as well as in grounded, theoretical explanations revealed by some of the most respected NDE researchers, physicists and mathematicians in the country. Not meant to put forth a theological thesis concerning religious dogma, or to debate one religion's belief with another on attaining immortality, The Passage seeks to set forth the facts on what constitutes a Near Death Experience. For many, who have shared their stories and who read the book, The Passage provides hope and anticipation of a life after death.
My memories of Christmas were just as fond. Both of my parents were from South Arkansas, several hours away, so our immediate family would have our Christmas early on Christmas Eve morning, then we would load up the station wagon and drive to Hot Springs and Malvern that day to see our family. We had a Christmas Eve get-together every year at my aunts house in Malvern that night, and it seemed like there were hundreds of people there (although there were probably only forty to fifty). There was Christmas music, presents, food, and lots of fun. The family holiday tour didnt stop thereafter the Christmas Eve party, we would then drive to Fordyce (about an hour away) and stay with my grandmother Maxine. We would usually roll into town about one in the morning, but she was ready for us, armed with an amazing coconut cake I will never forget. The taste and texture of the delicious cake is a pleasant part of my Christmas memory. We had another Christmas event the next morning at her house, in another part of small-town America. It was all a whirlwind of events, but a tradition that I cherished. Although there was lots of family throughout my childhood memories of Christmas, there was one thing that was not a part of the family ritualsI dont recall the story of Christ being present in our home at Christmas. Debbie and I made a concerted effort to make sure our three children understood and treasured the story of Jesuss birth and ultimate death as part of their Christmas memories. The story of Christmas is a true love storythe love that God shared with all of us. God sent his Son to be born and walk among us in order that we may have life abundant. We should never miss that part of Christmas as well. I hope this book helps bring that tradition to your family in some small way. We hope this book will help you create those Christmas memories as well.

This story begins in Charleston, South Carolina. Ron and Sarah Boggs have the sorrowful task of finalizing Sarah's mother's estate. While meeting with the attorney, Mr. Lyndsay, they learn her mother has left her an old church in Hopetown, Virginia. Sarah seems troubled by this inheritance and Ron becomes very curious about the real estate prospect. After much encouragement, Ron convinces Sarah to travel to Hopetown. Ron feels there could be a financial opportunity waiting in that little mountain town. However, he is also somewhat bewildered by Sarah's reaction towards the church. During the reading of the will, there were other things Ron discovered about Sarah, he never knew. Once the couple arrives in Hopetown, lives begin to change. Some of the worst tragedies and adversities in life create the best opportunities. In this story, you will hear several of these instances. A child's quest to go to heaven, a man's focus on supplementing his retirement, a woman's reluctance to face the past, and a town's resistance to regain its faith all add up to a powerful story of life!
Choices! In life, they will make or break you. God offers you choices, and the devil offers you choices. While we would like to believe that the choices God offers us are good and will look much different from the ones that the devil presents, the reality is that sometimes we have difficulty distinguishing between good choices and bad choices. The enemy works really hard in disguising himself as an angel of light, attempting to deceive us into making bad decisions. For every authentic blessing God desires to give you, the devil will offer you a surrogate in its place. Getting Rid of Counterfeits reveals the enemys plan to fool you. It exposes the fake relationships, mentors, jobs, and mind-sets that the devil offers to keep you in bondage. Getting Rid of Counterfeits is truly an eye-opener!
Corporate Christianity" is about the spiritual moral decline of American culture and its direct relationship to the lack of focused moral ought Christian Spiritual Leadership in America’s Churches. Likewise, Corporate Business Leadership has a tendency to forget that charity begins at home and them spreads abroad. The end results being, Christian Communities go wanting spiritually as well as financially, while Pastoral and Business Leaders reside for the most part in ostentatious luxury. Both Spiritual and Business Leadership have forgotten that charity is love and love is charity. The philosophy of "Corporate Christianity" is the larger the flock, the more money you have; therefore the greater the kingdom unto Self, not God.

Bobby Braddock, one of the most successful country songwriters of all time, is a living legend. His smash hit He Stopped Loving Her Today won the Country Music Association's Song of the Year Award in two consecutive years and was voted Song of the Century in a poll conducted by Radio & Records magazine and greatest country song of all time in a poll conducted by the BBC. In this captivating narrative, Braddock demonstrates that he is as much at home writing the story of his life as crafting an award-winning country tune.

Braddock retains enormous affection for his Florida upbringing, back in the mid-twentieth century when Florida was still Southern, oranges were more essential than tourists to the state's economy, and every small town seemed to be populated with actual eccentric characters right out of a Southern novelOColike Bobby's father, twenty-four years older than his mother, with a voice that was a cross between Foghorn Leghorn and W. C. Fields. Braddock's sensory memory of his childhood infuses his storytelling with the sights, sounds, smells, and significance of everyday living. When he tells tales of playing rock 'n' roll music in the Deep South of the early 1960s, readers experience some of the decade's most significant moments from a different perspective (for example, his band was in Birmingham, Alabama, when the Ku Klux Klan murdered four little girls). Along the way, he battles depression, hypochondria, and panic disorder, marries, and finally finds his true calling. Rednecks, religion, Florida, oranges, swamps, politics, racism, love, sex, illness, family, murder, and dreamsOCoall fill the pages of Braddock's compulsively readable ode to his youth. But it is music, above all else, that drives the story, providing a soundtrack for a life lived large.

In my Bible studies over the years, I began to see many similarities between life around me and across the globe with what is written in the Bible, especially as it pertains to a prophecy. In my opinion, the Bible from Genesis through Revelation is a prophecy. The very soon return, I hope and pray, of our Lord and savior. Daniel was blessed with receiving amazing visions and dreams from God about the history of man""past, present, and future. I also tried to work in other pertinent scriptures from other books as well. I have been accused by some that I'm writing about doom and gloom, but those remarks come from those who are not believers. I pray for them.
