Books with author Charles Wills

Charles Wilber tells his personal story of learning to work with nature, and his philosophy and approach to gardening. He reveals for the first time how he grows record-breaking tomatoes and produce of every variety. There's no magic involved. Just a well thought out system that gives plants more than they could ever want, and makes it possible for them to reach their full potential. Wilber's compost is the cornerstone along with a wide circumference around plants layered with compost, alfalfa meal and mulch. Valuable pruning and watering details are given, too, as well as a new way of looking at seeds. As you will learn, growing awesome tomatoes integrates every aspect of gardening that you can imagine.

Pursued by the police, a desperate man fights to stay free—and stay aliveIt’s raining hard when the man leaps off the train. He lands safely and creeps into town, praying he will find someplace to hide. It’s nearly daylight, and the police are not far behind. He breaks into an unoccupied seaside cottage, and is overjoyed to find coffee, whiskey, and cigarettes. But before the fugitive can relax, the doorknob rattles. The police are at the door. Russell Foley, third mate on an oil tanker, is not a cop killer. But the night before he got into a fight with a police detective, and a few hours later the cop was found stabbed to death. Unable to explain himself, he bolts, hoping to evade the police and somehow find the real killer. But for a man who cannot stop running, justice can be a hard thing to find.

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.

Welcome to Shadow Creek Ranch. When the engine of young pilot Nathan McMillen’s Cessna stalled, he figured he was done for. He was ten thousand feet in the air, flying a small, high-wing airplane over the rugged mountains of western Montana. Under these circumstances, a pilot doesn’t slow to a stop—a pilot potentially glides to a crash.Wendy Hanson had woken up early to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. She couldn’t help but look into the towering mountains surrounding her quiet valley. She could see an airplane in the distance, but I moved without sound, like a phantom flying in the bright summer air. It took her but a moment to realize something was wrong. The plane was headed right toward the only pasture in the area. And right in the middle of that pasture was a horse—her horse. And if she didn’t do something fast, the results wouldn’t be pretty.Shadow Creek Ranch is a special place—full of beautiful things like rivers and mountains, horses to ride, and nature to explore. But it’s also a place for troubled young people to escape from pain, the past, you name it. It’s also for them to heal. Nathan and Wendy’s introduction to each other hadn’t gone very smoothly. But when that airplane fell from the sky and crash-landed at Shadow Creek Ranch, it would start them on an adventure that would not just change their lives forever, but would be a miracle to those around them as well.
