Thrust into an unknown, unwanted situation, most would feel panic, fear anger and fall into chaos. Erik and Rugrat are not immune to those feelings, but they have stepped into chaos so many times, it is simply a different challenge. Two weeks ago, Erik lost his legs and his arm. Today he got a message. "You have been randomly selected to join the Ten Realms. One may choose to ascend the Ten Realms, thereupon making a request to the Gods of the Realms. Only those who are Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 may ascend to the next realm. Fortune favors the strong!" For a retired combat medic and Marine Recon sniper, the Ten Realms offer a clear challenge and sense of purpose that they had only found on the battlefield. How much trouble can you get into in a new realm?

In the evening dusk of August 22, 1944, during an intense battle off the Norwegian coast, the HMS Nabob, one of the two Canadian-crewed aircraft carriers in the Second World War was struck by a torpedo on the starboard side. Among the souls on board was Dr. Charles Read Jr., a young flight surgeon who needed to draw upon every bit of his training and skills to fight against seemingly impossible odds to save the lives of his shipmates. These are his memoires. Follow Dr. Read from his first, fresh-faced moments in Halifax as a newly minted Navy Medical Officer to a surprise appointment to be the flight surgeon on the much-lauded Nabob, the aircraft carrier thought of as the sign that Canada’s navy had arrived in the big leagues of world sea power. In vivid detail, Read recounts his training (including a hair-raising ride in a fighter jet), his friendships (from Chizy, the affable wine steward, to the legendary fighter pilot Bobby Bradshaw), to his wonder at the beauty of Europe (even in the midst of wartime destruction) to his memorable encounters with those he met along the way (including two beautiful movie stars). Read presents war as he saw it, the gut-wrenching carnage, the endless monotony, the baffling absurdity, and, shamefully, the inevitable tragedies that happen under incompetent command. These memoires present an exciting and never-before-seen view into a ship that has, until this book, been little more than a footnote in history.

This book was inspired by a much-loved, five year old whose father has been incarcerated most of her life. One day after visiting with friends who have both devoted parents in the home, this little girl blurted out to her mother in frustration, "What is jail anyway, and why can't Daddy be home with us?" She needed answers! When the truth is withheld from children they tend to blame themselves for other's mistakes and short-comings. It is the author's firm belief that it is incumbent on each of us to provide age-appropriate facts to young inquiring minds. To do otherwise will be evident in future generations. What Is Jail, Mommy? not only explains why the parent is incarcerated but what his/her life is like as an inmate.

Ever find yourself at a loss to comfort, or even talk to, someone who is experiencing grief, especially a child? You're not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over half a million families are somehow affected by a parent’s death each year! After the initial shock, questions surface-- universal ones, but often quite profound. Part of the grieving process is to consider the implications of life in light of this event and search for answers. How this need is met determines how successfully one navigates the present, as well as the future. Serving as a journal, a Bible study, or a reference guide, What Do Daddies in Heaven Do? addresses that need on many levels and may be used over and over when parents, family members and friends, counselors, lay ministers, as well as clergy, need to relate to each other on more than a superficial level of merely offering sympathy. It’s what to give for when everyone goes back home and the real work begins. It is a resource for all ages and anyone who finds himself or herself in a position of support for a bereaved person and wants to follow up with love and hope. What Do Daddies in Heaven Do? combines practical and profound questions about separation and death with promised grace in a sensitively presented, carefully researched volume that offers healing in a time of crisis and chaos. The interactive nature of the study material will help personalize the journey for each reader. From the artwork to the applications, nothing is wasted. The caring, patient tone respects readers of various levels of interest and understanding and will aid families who are trying to put the pieces back together amid the pain and confusion of loss. It's like having a caring friend come alongside offering comfort and a place to go. It's feeling like someone is there waiting to help. It's a tool to promote conversation and bonding. It's for the grieving child to not feel so alone.

‘Eradicate’ identifies two major problems causing the spiritual and moral decline in our country: the secular agenda to blot out God, and the apathy of Christians. This book will expose the anti-Christian movements in America and give you a thorough understanding of the foundational battle for truth. With 78% of Americans claiming to be Christians, how did it get to the point where Christianity is having less of an influence on our culture than culture is having on Christianity? Too many believers have conformed to our culture and we’re now suffering the consequences as a nation. Enemy forces continue to destroy this nation by attacking America's Judeo-Christian roots from within. This book will investigate government, media, Hollywood, public schools, our culture of death, and the push toward socialism and Marxism. You’ll see how some churches and leaders are diluting the Word of God weakening the witness of believers. You may be outraged as this book exposes how sin is being openly promoted, yet encouraged because God is still in control. There’s a remnant of committed Christians resisting evil and standing in the way. The choice is ours: who or what will we give our allegiance to, God or man; to Jesus Christ or to culture and politics? As Christians, our loyalties must not be divided any longer or America may be lost.

Growing up in the late sixties and early seventies was fast and furious. The United States was in the heat of the Vietnam War. The theme of the time was sex, drugs, and rock-‘n’-roll. I flung myself into the culture and adopted the lifestyle as my own. I was a full-fledged drunk and an addict by the time I graduated from high school. Prison, a failed marriage, and a lost desire to be a father to my two sons were proof that my life was crashing around me. Then I surrendered to Christ. It happened in the back seat of a squad car, as I was headed to prison for the third time. The change was immediate and profound, something only God could orchestrate. I’m a new man. Today, I’m pushing, pulling, and doing everything I can to help others out of the same boat I was in. From my story, you will learn that God calls even the worst of sinners. You see, God is in the business of restoring lives, and my dramatic conversion is a powerful testimony of just how much God loves people like you and me.

Animals of the Alaskan tundra receive word of the birth of the Christ Child in Bethlehem. With great excitement they discuss the possibility of giving the new born babe a gift. "But it would have to be a very special gift for such a special baby," said the ermine. None of the animals could agree on what the gift should be. Finally they all decide to visit the Arctic angel to see what her gift advice would be. The angel suggests a very simple gift and the group of animals are surprised. Why hadn't they thought of it? When the gift was delivered to the Christ Child in Bethlehem the animals that made that delivery underwent a startling change. Those same changes have occurred each fall for the past two thousand years as a reminder of that perfect gift. At Christmas or any other time of the year, for that matter, each one of us has the opportunity to present a similar gift to the Christ Child!
