The Yalu River Boys is the true story of the forgotten men from the Forgotten War. Follow a B-29 bomber crew as it battles Russian MiG-15 fighters in the heart of Mig-Alley during the Korean War. Learn the heartbreaking truth of the communist prison camp gulags, the cruelty of the North Korean enemy, and the propaganda attacks from friend and foe. Marvin King joined the US Air Force in peacetime but soon found himself in the midst of jet age aerial combat, captured and taken into China, and later subjected to the abject horror of a place in North Korea known only as The Caves.
In the 1850s, Dr. William Henry King murdered his wife and nearly got away with it. His capture, trial, and shocking execution riveted the countryside, but left questions that still linger. Now, based on original documents from witnesses, forensics, and sensational media coverage, Dan Buchanan finally lays bare the whole story of the King case.
Take three of the leading names in contemporary horror writing, commission one-third of a book's worth of stories from each, and the result is DARK VISIONS. Stephen King leads off with three stories, including "Sneakers", about a very unusual haunting, and "Dedication", one of the most powerful and unsettling of all his works. Dan Simmons pays homage to Philip K Dick with "Metastasis", one of three highly accomplished stories. And George Martin rounds off the book with the brilliant werewolf novella, "The Skin Trade". DARK VISIONS is a brilliantly original showcase from three masters of the macabre.
As a crime fiction writer, I know you can’t make this stuff up. As an American, I’m troubled that it is still so entirely believable—and topical—some fifty years later." —Theresa Schwegel, Edgar Award Winner In 1999, a largely unknown civil trial found government agencies guilty of conspiring to assassinate Martin Luther King. The verdict and other circumstances have cast doubt on initial findings that a blundering criminal named James Earl Ray operated as the lone perpetrator. Drawing from a vast bounty of shrouded government reports, preeminent books, articles and witness accounts, Dan Taber offers an astute answer to the question of who was really responsible for the death of the greatest equal rights proponent America has ever seen. Curiously, that answer is connected to a continually unfolding story. Fifty years later, echoes of the civil rights era resound. Systemic racism remains and the forces that foster wealth inequality have grown stronger. In order to cultivate change, it is necessary to recognize the obstacles to cultural progress. Therein lies the extraordinary value of Tragedy of Kings. It traces the evolution of gluttonous corporate strategies and demonstrates how propaganda is driven into the minds of voters through industry-backed online campaigns. Incidentally, the destructive impacts of business consolidation, white-collar crime and inadequate education are illuminated. There are a lot of reasons why all of this matters, but most importantly, knowledge is the power that will revive King’s dream.

At some point in their life, most Christians have walked through the doors of their church on Sunday morning and wondered what it really means to live a Christian life. Unfortunately, few ever do more than warm a pew on Sunday and try to be a "good person" throughout the week. But the reality is...Jesus called us to change the world... starting with 'the least of these.'Dan King, popular blogger at BibleDude.life, wrestled for several years with this idea of what it means to serve like Jesus did. That is, until he started researching the topic of poverty and what the Christian response to it looks like. One little writing project triggered a series of events, like dominoes, that eventually led him on an unlikely trip to Africa. It was a trip that would change things forever.Follow Dan's journey not only on a poverty-fighting trip through Africa, but also on the journey of discovery as the mission trip helps him find purpose and meaning in his Christian walk.In addition to the stories of people and experiences on that trip to Africa, the book is full of practical ideas and exercises that will challenge you to discover world-changing passion whether it takes you half-way around the world or keeps you right at home in your own backyard.Where you go isn

The serious student of the Bible, and indeed all who would strive to please God, must deal with both responsibility and authority in their spiritual lives. A failure to understand or accept responsibility results in the failure to carry out the work which God has designated to be done. A lack of understanding of and respect for authority has been the basic cause of every departure from truth and the resulting divisions in the Lord's church. All religious denominations have come into existence because of these factors. These lessons have been prepared with the hope that they will help Bible students to accomplish three goals: 1. More thoroughly understand the responsibilities which every church and individual has towards both God and man. 2. Recognize the need for authority from God in every spiritual matter. 3. Learn how to apply the principles of biblical authority in the lives of both individuals and congregations. In order to learn how to apply the biblical principles which will be discussed in this study, after the prepared material has been discussed, the individual or class should examine many specific examples of doctrines, practices, and works. Our goal is that every student will then be able personally to determine the scriptural authority for everything that he or she believes and practices.
