Spring Showers have come and gone, nourishing the seeds that have been planted. Allowing them to grow and bloom. Beauty tends to blossom after the showers have subsided and the sun has come out to add the necessary components for sustainable growth. Now Summer Rain is a bit different than Spring Showers, the warmth, the intensity, the desire for more. That heat yearning to be satisfied, to receive something that'll quell the craving that grows from those seeds planted deep within. Jaron and Makayla now find themselves in a similar position as the seeds that were aforementioned. Having certain buds that have already bloomed, it would only make sense that the longing would come soon after. Perhaps a Summer Rain can bring about the necessary ingredients to fulfill the storms that are now brewing on the horizon.

The stories of residents of low-income communities across the country who took action when pollution from heavy industry contaminated their towns. Across the United States, thousands of people, most of them in low-income or minority communities, live next to heavily polluting industrial sites. Many of them reach a point at which they say “Enough is enough.” After living for years with poisoned air and water, contaminated soil, and pollution-related health problems, they start to take action—organizing, speaking up, documenting the effects of pollution on their neighborhoods. In Sacrifice Zones, Steve Lerner tells the stories of twelve communities, from Brooklyn to Pensacola, that rose up to fight the industries and military bases causing disproportionately high levels of chemical pollution. He calls these low-income neighborhoods “sacrifice zones.” And he argues that residents of these sacrifice zones, tainted with chemical pollutants, need additional regulatory protections. Sacrifice Zones goes beyond the disheartening statistics and gives us the voices of the residents themselves, offering compelling portraits of accidental activists who have become grassroots leaders in the struggle for environmental justice and details the successful tactics they have used on the fenceline with heavy industry.
Steve Rutz has written an autobiographical treatise on how he got free from addiction to alcohol and drugs; and how he changed his lifestyle from running with the devil on the streets of Newark, New Jersey to explaining to the masses how to allow the very available Love of God into one's heart. He uses humor, personal anecdotes, and rock-and-roll references to bring a common-sense approach to help the baby-boomer generation truly understand what happened to our age. This book depicts the confusion displayed by many Americans, and it narrates how to navigate one's desires back to the correct moral compass, and what one really needs to do to receive the Grace of our Maker. He knows the Power of God from personal experience, and he shares it in these pages. Steve's work can definitely be a reference guide for the reader to become a person of peace. With scores of scriptural references, Steve surrenders all self-gratification to The Highest Power. Celebrities, businessmen, mothers and wives, heroes and heroin addicts alike; or anybody who is recovering, hurting, mourning, or just looking for solutions to life will benefit from the wisdom contained in these words. The Love of God, as manifested in Jesus Christ, has saved Steve Rutz. He is quite overjoyed because of this, and he tells his story from the very bottom of the pit that he has visited to the current day of jubilation. He uses parallels that we all can relate to, and I am absolutely sure that you will not regret reading this masterpiece. Renewing The Mind is written out of love. Every page will get you to think about your fellow man in a deeper way. Steve is a sincere personality who wishes you 'shalom' or a complete peace; which you'll experience when you read and heed this book. The reader becomes Steve's friend as he explains how wonderful God is to His people; and the Power of the Holy Spirit of God comes across through these pages.

This unique state-by-state directory covers monuments, memorials, museums, markers, statues and library collections that relate to the veterans, weapons, vehicles, airplanes, victims or any other aspect of war in which the United States participated. While a site may have been created before 1900 (such as a fort), there must be some operational or historical tie to a twentieth century conflict to be included here. General collections, such as museums of aviation, are included if they house materials related to a twentieth century conflict. The coverage is so thorough that statues honoring veterans of the Civil War appear if veterans of later wars are on their rosters of honorees. Another example of the comprehensiveness of this compilation is in the inclusion of memorials to victims of war such as the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas. For each site, the following information is given: street address, phone number, website and email address (if applicable), days and hours of operation, admission fees, other necessary information, and a brief description of the site.

Life is a beautifully, scary journey through seasons and the storms that accompany them. Just as nature has seasons, so do we. There are seeds inside us all. What do we need in order to make those seeds bloom? Is it possible that the perfect ingredients necessary for this process are in someone else? We all know that spring comes to bring new life. Fully equipped with the ingredients necessary for nature's seeds, could we have what is necessary for one another's seeds? There's a storm on the horizon, a seasonal storm to remove what's no longer needed and lay the foundation necessary for growth. Now, what if the potential damage of the coming storm causes more fear than comfort? It's said, that flowers need water to grow, that it has to rain. Most can't see the beauty in the storm, and see them as simply loud, chaotic, and unpredictable. Perhaps storms are good and necessary, as opposed to simply being bad and destructive. In that small cafe, Jaron and MaKayla were about to find out the answer to these questions.
