For many years, it has been said that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. However, what happens when a person doesn't even realize that he or she is wasting something so valuable? What happens when a person believes that what he or she is doing is beneficial and not detrimental to his or her happiness and growth? In Mental Clutches, Willie Gene Williams Jr. supplies us with various examples, problems, and solutions that men and women of any ethnic background can relate to. He extends knowledge on issues such as parenting, money management, positive and negative energy, importance of one's history, health, and knowledge. These are just a few areas of interest that are addressed in Mental Clutches. Williams begins by stressing the importance of positive energy and how it actually affects any and everything that we as a people try to pursue. He examines some of the encounters that have crossed his path and those that have crossed the paths of others that he has had the privilege of meeting. He then breaks down problems, provides sound solutions, and opens our minds to everyday things that we as a people easily overlook. Williams in Mental Clutches has really taken a loving approach to the thoughts and theories he brings forth to his readers. His knowledge and persuasive ideas challenge us all to view love, life, and the pursuit of happiness in a much more positive manner.
Ministers spend their lives leading and serving others. And although the demands of their jobs are often challenging and sometime tiresome, they receive strength and comfort from knowing their work and service has meaning and is significant to the kingdom of God. But what happens when they retire? How do they transition from shepherd to sheep? For many retired pastors, this change is very difficult.In Out of the Pulpit, into the Pew, retired pastor Gene Williams provides encouragement and guidance for retired and active pastors who want to find meaning and enjoyment in their retirement years. He discusses the importance of preparing for retirement and explores ways one can find significance and service even though he or she has moved from the pulpit to the pew. He addresses several of the questions retired ministers struggle with such as, ’Who am I without a church?’ ’What do I do now?’ ’Where will I live?’ and ’How do I maintain financial stability?’ He explains how cultivating healthy self-respect, having a secure financial savings, and finding a healthy hobby are just a few of the bridges that must be crossed in order to enjoy a meaningful life in retirement.Out of the Pulpit, into the Pew offers active and retired ministers wisdom and practical guidance as they transition into a meaningful, well-deserved life in retirement.

In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, Airborne Captain Will McBride's plane is badly hit. Most of his men are killed, and he is knocked unconscious in the back of the plane. He awakens sometime later to find that he is alone with the badly wounded pilot, who has been flying without instruments in an unknown direction. Will decides to jump anyway, and finds himself in Brittany, an as yet quiet backwater of the war. Taking refuge in a convent, he encounters Claire, a young postulant and, in his effort to make his way back to Allied lines, encounters the French Resistance, a downed American fighter pilot, and a feisty and beautiful British agent as they make their way through France and ultimately to Paris and the events surrounding the Hitler plot and the Liberation.
