It's Time

By: Cindy Prince

Does it really make a difference to God how we worship Him? Do you think He cares? Is there a way to know for sure? Should evidence matter when we’re walking by faith? Is the God who created the universe still in the business of changing lives? It’s Time is the story that answers “Yes!” to all of the above. It is the journey of a family of seven, devoted to a religion they loved and had no intention of ever leaving—but God had other plans. Dive in and discover how God opens the door, scoops them up, and redirects their path; how the Spirit uses everything from casual conversations to major life events to reveal His truth and guide their journey; how He uses seeds that had been planted long before the day He said, “It’s time”; and how He repeatedly answers the prayers they dared not express, in the way that only He could have known their hearts needed, leading them to the grace of His unconditional love. Let it encourage, enlighten, and remind you that we serve a mighty God. He cares, He calls, and He has given us everything we need to respond through His Word and His Spirit—and He doesn’t stop there. ------------------- “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5–6)

Secrets Mormons Don't Want You to Know

By: Richard Benson,Cindy Benson

Most Christians only see the "public" face of Mormonism, thanks to their persuasive PR campaigns: clean-faced young people, parents committed to family values, and spectacular temples. But what do Mormons really believe? In this revealing book you'll learn their shocking doctrines, like: It's good to lie... to protect the church. There are millions of gods. God was once a man, and became a god. We can become gods, too. Jesus and Lucifer were spirit brothers. We all have an "Eternal Mother." God is a polygamist. The Jesus of the Bible was a polygamist. The Jesus of Christianity is NOT the Jesus of Mormonism. Sins are forgiven through good works. Salvation by faith in Jesus is "utter nonsense." Black people were cursed by God. A group of gods helped Jesus form the earth. Some sins require the shedding of your own blood. You'll also read the moving testimony of former Mormon, Cindy Benson. She reveals from personal experience the ugly, hidden side of Mormonism. She was only eleven years old when her 53-year-old father announced that a 15-year-old girl must become his second wife. Once you know what Mormons really believe, you will be better equipped to witness to them. Here is what Mormon leaders really taught their members, and what the Bible has to say about it. We believe this book will help you create burning questions "instead of a "burning in the bosom") for Mormons you know. And the Bible verses are right there to give you the answer.

When Kingdoms Clash

Strategies for Prayer in the Heat of Battle

By: Cindy Trimm

Harness the power of prayer The front lines of the clash between the kingdoms of darkness and light do not usually happen in our churches; they happen in our lives--in our workplaces, neighborhoods, where our children go to school, in our voting booths, and in the halls of influence. Our churches should be places of equipping and coordinating, but then we have to take this fight to the streets through daily prayer. When Kingdoms Clash takes you from the planning stages and strategies of prayer into the heat of the battle, showing you how to stand strong when things get intense. Using historical illustrations and teaching from Scripture, Cindy Trimm provides the tools you need to understand the power of prayer as never before. Battles are raging and the stakes are high; only through prayer will God’s kingdom prevail.

Pumpkin

The Curious History of an American Icon

By: Cindy Ott

Why do so many Americans drive for miles each autumn to buy a vegetable that they are unlikely to eat? While most people around the world eat pumpkin throughout the year, North Americans reserve it for holiday pies and other desserts that celebrate the harvest season and the rural past. They decorate their houses with pumpkins every autumn and welcome Halloween trick-or-treaters with elaborately carved jack-o'-lanterns. Towns hold annual pumpkin festivals featuring giant pumpkins and carving contests, even though few have any historic ties to the crop. In this fascinating cultural and natural history, Cindy Ott tells the story of the pumpkin. Beginning with the myth of the first Thanksgiving, she shows how Americans have used the pumpkin to fulfull their desire to maintain connections to nature and to the family farm of lore, and, ironically, how small farms and rural communities have been revitalized in the process. And while the pumpkin has inspired American myths and traditions, the pumpkin itself has changed because of the ways people have perceived, valued, and used it. Pumpkin is a smart and lively study of the deep meanings hidden in common things and their power to make profound changes in the world around us.

The Men of Black Ops, Inc., Volume 2

Feel the Heat, Risk No Secrets, With No Remorse, with an excerpt from Last Man Standing

By: Cindy Gerard

An eBook box set of bestselling author Cindy Gerard’s Black Ops, Inc. books 4-6: Feel The Heat, Risk No Secrets, With No Remorse. FEEL THE HEAT Tough, beautiful, and blond, B.J. Chase, a covert operative at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), is assigned to the National Security Agency to find out if and how someone at NSA is leaking information about a top-secret new U.S. weapons program to terrorists. When NSA cryptologist Stephanie Tompkins brings suspicious intercepted messages to the attention of her division head, her superior is killed and Stephanie gets embroiled in a terrorist plot that implicates her as a traitor. Black Ops Inc. swings into action because Stephanie is the completely honorable and patriotic sister of one of their fallen comrades and BOI team member Raphael Mendoza is secretly in love with her. First, Stephanie is taken to a safe house where BOI agent Joe Greene will guard her. Then Colombian-born Rafe Mendoza and DIA agent B.J. are sent to Colombia by the Department of Defense to find and destroy the site where a replica of the new U.S. weapon is being constructed (according to Stephanie’s decoded intercepts). Posing as Rafe’s lover, B.J. goes to Medellin with Rafe who is using his family’s shady business connections to infiltrate the drug cartel bankrolling the weapon. As they carry out their deception, demolish the weapon, fake their own deaths and flee Colombia, Rafe and B.J. fall for each other much to their mutual surprise, just as Stephanie and Joe Greene do back in the States. RISK NO SECRETS When Black Ops, Inc. operative Wyatt Savage’s former girlfriend Sophie calls him out of the blue, desperately requesting his help, Wyatt flies down to El Salvador. He’s never stopped loving Sophie, even though she married his former best friend Hugh, who saved Wyatt's life more times than he can count when they worked together on secret missions for the CIA. Now Sophie is frantic because one of her students was abducted from the school she runs near the U.S. embassy in San Salvador. It appears that Sophie’s twelve-year-old daughter was the kidnapper’s target but they took the other girl by mistake. Wyatt is shocked when Sophie tells him that she and Hugh divorced two years ago, and she and her daughter hardly ever see him because he travels around the world protecting high-level business executives. With help from Sophie and two of his BOI brothers, Wyatt tracks down the kidnappers, but he alone undertakes the challenge of winning Sophie’s heart. WITH NO REMORSE Black Ops, Inc. operative Luke—Doc Holliday—Colter, is taking some much needed down time, making his way across the Peruvian Andes via rail, when banditos attack the moving train in the midnight hours. It soon becomes apparent that robbery is not their intent but the abduction of super model “Valentina,” who is traveling incognito while licking her wounds and recovering from a public scandal involving her ex-husband, high profile US Senator, Marcus Chamberlin. Luke whisks Valentina off the train in a daring escape but the two of them become the targets of a relentless manhunt. Enlisting the aid of Luke’s BOI teammates, they soon discover that Val’s intended abduction is linked to a plot put in play by an international gun smuggling alliance. The BOI team lead by Luke and with Val along as a necessary pawn, must race half way around the world to thwart a ruthless attack that would not only result in a devastating loss of life but destroy a tenuous peace the US and her allies have established in a vastly unstable part of the world.

Waterloo and Byram Township

By: Cindy Lee

Throughout its history, Byram Township has thrived upon its rich natural resources. Farmers worked its fertile soil and industrialists exploited the areas rolling hillsthickly forested and full of iron orelong before Pennsylvania became the capital of the United States steel industry. Byram Township, however, is perhaps best known for its many lakes and ponds, which have spurred the communitys industries, transportation, and recreation. During the nineteenth century, the townships rivers and lakes helped to form the Morris Canal, a man-made water highway for the transportation of cargo from Phillipsburg to Jersey City. Once a stop along the Morris Canal, Waterloo is now a historical attraction and a living testament to how Byram Township residents once lived and worked along the canal.

The Men of Black Ops, Inc.: Volume 1

Show No Mercy, Take No Prisoners, Whisper No Lies, and an Excerpt from With No Remorse

By: Cindy Gerard

An eBook boxed set of bestselling author Cindy Gerard’s first three Black Ops, Inc. novels: Show No Mercy, Take No Prisoners, Whisper No Lies. SHOW NO MERCY Gabriel Jones left his longtime career as a CIA operative and joined Black Ops, Inc., a private security and espionage firm that specializes in jobs the military and the CIA won’t touch. Now stationed in Argentina, he is known as the Archangel because of the cold steel Arc-Angel butterfly knife he keeps strapped to his hip. When American journalist Jenna McMillan innocently steps into an assassination plot Gabe is trying to foil in Buenos Aires, Gabe saves her life but is injured. And, there’s unfinished business between Gabe and Jenna—grudging professional admiration and sexual attraction—from when they brought down an Argentinian neo-Nazi months ago… TAKE NO PRISONERS Amid the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas, twenty-seven-year-old Abbie Hughes, part-time accounting student and full-time blackjack dealer in a major casino, is trying desperately to convince herself that her brother, Cory, finally has his act together. But Cory, who she’d expected back from one of his frequent trips to Honduras where he buys native crafts for resale in the states, was due back in Vegas two days ago and she hasn’t heard a word from him. She’s starting to worry. Unknown to her, Cory is a middleman in a gem-smuggling ring…and Abbie, as Cory’s sister, is now in danger... WHISPER NO LIES Las Vegas casino security expert Crystal Debrowski met sexy, heroic Johnny Reed in Honduras, where she helped him save her friend Abbie Hughes and Sam Lang (the protagonists of Take No Prisoners), but after the rescue, they went their separate ways. After Crystal spurns the advances of an older, mysterious Asian man at the casino one night, bad things start to happen. Then she remembers the man she rebuffed, Tran Hoang, who is an Asian mafia crime lord. Johnny and Crystal are soon mired in not only a steamy love affair but in a human trafficking/prostitution, arms-trading ring, and a counterfeiting scheme that could bring down the US economy.

The Silent Retirement Crisis

How You Can Build a Sustainable Retirement in a Potentially Broken System

By: Cindy Couyoumjian

Retirement does not have to be stressful and scary. With proper planning, Americans can not only retire comfortably: They can also prosper. Cindy Couyoumjian’s third book explores the silent retirement crisis that will impact millions of Americans. She uses the term silent to convey the idea that the majority of those who are about to retire, or are in retirement, share a common and unspoken fear—running out of money. Couyoumjian asserts that the anxiety people have about their retirement is not a misdirected emotion. We are led to believe that the fear (silent as it is) is due to our lack of financial literacy or not having a financial plan in place. While some of this is true, it’s not totally our fault: Her book addresses the big-picture, systemic problems that conspire against average Americans while favoring the wealthy few. The first third of the book explores how broken capitalism has contributed to our broken retirement system. The second third offers us a new way of thinking and investing, underscoring how university endowments have achieved extraordinary return by using a multi-asset class investment approach. Part III offers meaningful solutions to the retirement crisis. The author introduces us to her flexible and customizable REALM model designed to potentially protect clients from sudden market losses. Also included is other valuable information such as estate planning, tax strategies, 401(k) rollover options, life insurance, and long-term care initiatives. Couyoumjian shows us that retirement planning isn’t just savings and investing. With an umbrella of other planning items, we can take action to make the difference between an anxious retirement defined by uncertainty and a comfortable one, grounded in prosperity. Founder of Cinergy Financial, Cindy Couyoumjian believes financial literacy is a moral imperative and has dedicated her professional life to helping people understand the constantly evolving financial and economic landscape. With 37 years of industry experience, she is a leader in the financial industry, managing over $200,000,000 in assets. She is the author of two previous best-selling books, Redefining Financial Literacy, (2021) and The Rise of Women and Wealth (2022). She has appeared on NBC, CBS, FOX 40, talk radio AM870 and 790 KABC, and was a brand contributor to Forbes in 2020. Her dedication and commitment to empower with facts, not fear, are unwavering as she continues to educate and guide her clients toward their individualized financial goals and objectives.

Legendary Locals of Mooresville

By: Cindy Jacobs

The rumble of trains carrying people, cotton, and freight to and from Moore s Siding was the song of a vibrant community. People worked to build homes, schools, and churches as early as 1760. They got a town, Mooresville, in the bargain. James Elbert Sherrill, George C. Goodman, and the Turner brothers supported the growing economy. Love of community led Winnie Hooper and Elizabeth Matheson to champion recreation. Shaw Brown saw people in need and worked to establish a Christian mission. Mayor Joe Knox and Rep. Robert Brawley embraced change and led a mill town toward a technological future. Success at home led to success far away for artist Selma Burke, Mooresville Moors pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, New York Parties author Punky Brawley, and Reynolds Tobacco president S. Clay Williams.

Guide to College Writing Assessment

By: Peggy O'Neill,Cindy Moore,Brian Huot

While most English professionals feel comfortable with language and literacy theories, assessment theories seem more alien. English professionals often don’t have a clear understanding of the key concepts in educational measurement, such as validity and reliability, nor do they understand the statistical formulas associated with psychometrics. But understanding assessment theory—and applying it—by those who are not psychometricians is critical in developing useful, ethical assessments in college writing programs, and in interpreting and using assessment results. A Guide to College Writing Assessment is designed as an introduction and source book for WPAs, department chairs, teachers, and administrators. Always cognizant of the critical components of particular teaching contexts, O’Neill, Moore, and Huot have written sophisticated but accessible chapters on the history, theory, application and background of writing assessment, and they offer a dozen appendices of practical samples and models for a range of common assessment needs. Because there are numerous resources available to assist faculty in assessing the writing of individual students in particular classrooms, A Guide to College Writing Assessment focuses on approaches to the kinds of assessment that typically happen outside of individual classrooms: placement evaluation, exit examination, programmatic assessment, and faculty evaluation. Most of all, the argument of this book is that creating the conditions for meaningful college writing assessment hinges not only on understanding the history and theories informing assessment practice, but also on composition programs availing themselves of the full range of available assessment practices.

The Time of Freedom

Campesino Workers in Guatemala's October Revolution

By: Cindy Forster

The time of freedom" was the name that plantation workers-campesinos-gave to GuatemalaÆs national revolution of 1944-1954. Cindy Forster reveals the critical role played by the poor in organizing and sustaining this period of reform.Through court records, labor and agrarian ministry archives, and oral histories, Forster demonstrates how labor conflict on the plantations prepared the ground for national reforms that are usually credited to urban politicians. She focuses on two plantation zones that generated exceptional momentum: the coffee belt in the highlands around San Marcos and the United Fruit Company's banana groves near Tiquisate. Although these regions were unlike in size and complexity, language and race, popular culture and work patterns, both erupted with demands for workersÆ rights and economic justice shortly after the fall of Castañeda in 1944. A welcome balance to the standard "top-down" histories of the revolution, Forster's sophisticated analysis demonstrates how campesinos changed the course of the urban revolution. By establishing the context of grassroots mobilization, she substantially alters the conventional view of the entire revolution, and particularly the reforms enacted under President Albenz.

Cards & Caravans

By: Cindy Spencer Pape

Book five of The Gaslight Chronicles Belinda Danvers isn't a witch. But that won't stop them burning her at the stake… Connor McKay can tell at a glance that Belinda's magickal powers are minimal at best. She can't be guilty of murdering village children. There's something suspicious about her arrest and lightning-quick sentence. Unfortunately, telling anyone how he knows would mean revealing his own powers. He's been sent by the Order of the Round Table to help and he can't just let her die. Escaping from jail and running from vindictive villagers in her grandfather's steam-powered caravan is more excitement than Belinda's had in years. And despite the danger—or maybe because of it—she loves the time spent with her sexy rescuer. But there's more to his magick than he's letting on… There's something going on that's bigger than the two of them. It's time for good to make a stand. 52,000 words

Citizens of Asian America

Democracy and Race during the Cold War

By: Cindy I-Fen Cheng

During the Cold War, Soviet propaganda highlighted U.S. racism in order to undermine the credibility of U.S. democracy. In response, incorporating racial and ethnic minorities in order to affirm that America worked to ensure the rights of all and was superior to communist countries became a national imperative. In Citizens of Asian America, Cindy I-Fen Cheng explores how Asian Americans figured in this effort to shape the credibility of American democracy, even while the perceived “foreignness” of Asian Americans cast them as likely alien subversives whose activities needed monitoring following the communist revolution in China and the outbreak of the Korean War. While histories of international politics and U.S. race relations during the Cold War have largely overlooked the significance of Asian Americans, Cheng challenges the black-white focus of the existing historiography. She highlights how Asian Americans made use of the government’s desire to be leader of the “free world” by advocating for civil rights reforms, such as housing integration, increased professional opportunities, and freedom from political persecution. Further, Cheng examines the liberalization of immigration policies, which worked not only to increase the civil rights of Asian Americans but also to improve the nation’s ties with Asian countries, providing an opportunity for the U.S. government to broadcast, on a global scale, the freedom and opportunity that American society could offer. Cindy I-Fen Cheng is Associate Professor of History and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. In the Nation of Newcomers series
