Tova

A Very Special Dog

By: Joe Smiga

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Tova is the name for a girl in Hebrew, which means good. The book is written in memory of my German shorthaired pointer. I wish to honor her breed. She was loving, obedient, most of the time, exceptionally friendly, a great bird dog and a wonderful companion. The book illustrates nine and a half years of exceptional devotion to the dog and unconditional love returned to the owners. Tragically, her life was cut short by the existence of a disease that most veterinarians dont recognize because they are not taught about it. Nor are they exposed to it, at least not here in New England. This book is vital to all pet owners and a wake up call to veterinarians. This book is also uniquely original, since, Tova and Joe both have dialogue in it.

One Came Back

By: Joe Smiga

The third book from Behind the Lies is somewhat different from the first two books in the series. In the first two books, there is constant motion heading toward terrible destruction. In the third, there is a shift to introduce human feelings along with events to show how the characters, who are dealing with their pasts, achieve their next destructive goals, while still dealing with being human. In this book, I introduce two main characters; one had been in all three books of the series. His companion is new to the book. They are full of passion and emotions that we tend to experience in our everyday lives. It is an experience of rebuilding lives after tragedies, deep loss, revenge, and manipulation by governments, thrilling action, and human beings overcoming diversity, each trying their best to survive. It is my final book in this series. I hope that you enjoy it as it has some reality based on my own life.

Gateway to Terror

By: Joe Smiga

Twelve years after 9/11, the United States will experience a level of terrorism it has never felt before. Working in plain sight, Iranian agents posing as businessmen develop, plot, and create a network of horrific events in conjunction with cells that have been planted here decades ago.

Christotainment

Selling Jesus through Popular Culture

By: Shirley R. Steinberg,Joe L.

For more than two thousand years Christian expansion and proselytizing was couched in terms of 'defending the faith'. Until recently in the United States, much of that defense came in the form of reactions against the 'liberal' influences channeled through big-corporate media such as popular music, Hollywood movies, and network and cable television. But the election of Ronald Reagan as a Hollywood President introduced Christian America to the tools of advertising and multimedia appeals to children and youth to win new believers to God's armies. Christotainment examines how Christian fundamentalism has realigned its armies to combat threats against it by employing the forces it once considered its chief enemies: the entertainment media, including movies, television, music, cartoons, theme parks, video games, and books. Invited contributors discuss the critical theoretical frameworks of top-selling devices within Christian pop culture and the appeal to masses of American souls through the blessed marriage of corporatism and the quest for pleasure.

Iran’s Shocking Reversal

By: Joe Smiga

Iran’s Shocking Reversal begins with the typical desire of the ayatollah to become the head of the Muslim world. To accomplish this, he must bring the United States to its knees begging for mercy. Something happens after the terrorist attacks, and it shows what kind of a leader he truly is, and he tries to sacrifice his own people. In the minds of other leaders, serious doubts are forming after many decades, and situations begin to happen. What the ayatollah wanted to do became the last straw for the remaining leaders. They are tired of his leadership and his plan to build an empire instead of doing what is best for Iranians and their country. The changes are scary, yet they are believed to be in the best interest of the country and its citizens. What will the changes be? You won’t know unless you read the book.
