Books with author Charles A. Mills

Sweet, mysterious, alluring treasure... For untold ages treasure tales have tugged at men's imaginations; whispering softly of romance, adventure, glory and wealth. These are North Carolina's historic treasure legends, including stories of Native American gold, Spanish galleons, pirate treasures, Revolutionary War loot, Civil War caches, and shipwrecks.

The Civil War was the most turbulent period in American history. People buried their valuables to protect them from invading armies. Treasure hunters unearth an estimated $25 million worth of treasure each year. According to some estimates, at least $4 billion worth of lost treasure is scattered throughout the country and about $22 billion more lies in relatively shallow water just off the coasts. Many of these treasures were lost during the Civil War. This book is a fast paced history of the Civil War sprinkled with tales of over 60 buried treasure in sixteen states.

Treasure lies heavy on Georgia. From the Atlantic to the mountains, men and women have consigned their riches to the safety of the earth or lost them in the violent seas. Pirate gold, hidden caves, secret codes, treasure maps...Georgia has them all. Included in this fast paced book of history are some forty legends of the colonial period, pirate treasures, Civil War gold, gold mines and sunken treasures.

Do you like stories? Of course. You re a kid! Jesus loved stories too, and He told lots of them. Each story was designed to do something important in the heart of everyone who listened. They taught important lessons about why Jesus came to earth, what the kingdom of heaven was like, and how we should treat other people. The stories He shared reminded everyone how much God loves us all and how we should always love and respect others.

This book is too good to be written by just one author.So it includes stories and poems by juniors like you and contributions by Karl Haffner, Art and Pat Humphrey, Jane Chase, and Lawrence Maxwell. But most of it comes from the prolific pen of Charles Mills, who once got punched in the face for keeping the Sabbath.Inside you’ll learn about things high and low, near and far, that will give you a handle on life. Each day of the week has a different flavor. For instance, Sunday is Gracelink day, relating to the Sabbath School lesson for that week. Monday is Let’s Go Retro, which features some of Guide’s greatest hits. On Sabbath you’ll learn more about the life of Jesus.Like the guy you’ll meet in April who fell asleep in the tar and got stuck, this book draws you in. You may even find you can hardly wait to get up in the morning to read the devotional for that day. Really.
