NO MORE WORDS: A NOVEL by Kerry Lonsdale

From the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the first book in a trilogy about love, betrayal, and the secrets families keep.

Forced to choose between abortion or adoption, Olivia Carson’s younger sister, Lily, runs away from home. Sixteen and pregnant, she never returns. But she writes. Once a year, Lily mails a picture of her son, Josh, to Olivia until his thirteenth year. Then it’s Josh himself who arrives at Olivia’s house, alone, terrified, and in possession of a notarized declaration from Lily. It begins, “In the event I go missing…”

Josh has difficulty talking. He can’t read or write, but he’s a prolific artist, exhibiting skill beyond his age. His drawings are as detailed as they are horrific. Olivia soon realizes Josh’s artwork tells a story. There’s more to his arrival and to Lily’s untimely disappearance than it seems. Using the drawings as a road map, Olivia traces Josh’s path back to his mom. Each drawing sheds light on Lily’s past and reveals a darkness that forces Olivia to question everything she thought she knew about her family.

SUPER THUNDERBIRD by David "Bill" Verhines

A real-life encounter with a raptor-like creature from the age of dinosaurs. An era that never really ended. I am not the sort of person who goes out of his way looking for encounters with cryptid creatures. I have no interest in believing they are real. I never had any desire to encounter one. Until something appeared right in front of me on an Interstate highway. After experiencing several plateaus in my life, the truck-driving rhythm of the road has afforded me a lot of time to reflect on my life, my experience, and how to understand reality. My hours of contemplation led me to construct a worldview that emphasized the importance of a "bipedal" existence as a tie-in with all of life _ Christian life, in particular. I had a "driver's seat, front-row" experience with the largest bipedal event in all of human history. Applying my endeavors to this newfound-jet-airliner-winged dinosaur has led me to several startling new insights. The purpose of this book is to share these insights with you.

David, or "Bill" Verhines had experienced academic success, journalistic success, and even Charismatic success. In this single, powerful volume he devices a way to understand everything in terms of a life-satisfying worldview. Now, having drawn the attention of a startling cryptid companion in the process, "Bill" now wishes to share his perspective with the church, family, friends, neighbors, and any companion who might listen - be that companion cryptic or otherwise.

MARKED FOR LIFE: MY JOURNEY WITH JESUS THROUGH THE MENTAL HEALTH WILDERNESS by Jabez X

"Marked For Life" is an autobiography, written anonymously for personal reasons, by Jabez X. and it concerns the author's walk with Jesus in overcoming his mental health issues. The author shows that knowing Jesus is the key ingredient in overcoming mental health issues, while employing modern psychological techniques also. The author also touches on the stigma attached to having mental health issues in one's life. However, compassion from other people is what the author seeks to promote, keeping in mind that our Lord Jesus can heal any and all illnesses--be they physical or mental. While people may choose to forgive, only God can really choose to forget.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Raised in a dysfunctional, atheistic and alcoholic family, the author still managed to earn a B.A. in English from Cornell University in 1977. Around fifteen years later (1992), he gave his heart and life to Jesus Christ. The author has written this autobiography to describe his recovery from the wounds and traumas of his life with the help of mental health counselors, as well as the help, love and forgiveness of Jesus--the greatest Counselor there is. The title of the book, "Marked For Life" reflects the author's belief that, though Jesus has forgiven his sins and saved him--as well as healed his broken heart, people still can and do hold his mental health issues against him. While people may, and often do, forgive--only God can truly forgive and forget.

The Lost Child of WWII: My Life during the Great War by Leonida Clarete-Watson
Let me take you back to the earliest childhood memory that I have of my father. Growing up in the province of Pampanga, just outside of the city of Porac, we didn’t have a lot of money. We lived in a small village just south of the province in a small hut. Like many families back then, we made do with what we had and struggled just to get by like everyone else at that time. My father was in the Philippine Army, and he would be gone for weeks at a time, sometimes months at a time. But I always knew when he returned home because I would awake to a bunch of grapes on my pillow. I would smile as I awoke and whisper, “Daddy’s home.”

My name is Leonida, but people just call me Nida. I grew up in the Philippines during the great war of my time. I had a loving father who adored me. He was my protector and teacher. He was my rock, my hero, my father. He made me feel safe and he shaped me into the person I am today. Without his love and teachings of what is right, I strongly believe that I would not have what I have today. I may be overstating him a bit. My last memory of him was when I was only four years old, yet even at those young of an age, he captivated my imagination with his stories. I remember walking with him when I was even younger. I guess my earliest of memories was from when I was as young as two years old. He was my inspiration and my hope, and he was taken from me when I was just four years old. I watched with tears in my eyes as he was killed at the hands of the Japanese for safeguarding some Americans by hiding them in a cave. I will never forget his last words to me. Be strong, Nida, I love you.

LIBERTY IN AMERICA - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE: A PRESCRIPTION FOR AMERICA by Dr. Bill Choby.

In Liberty in America: Past, Present, and Future, renowned dentist and health policy expert Dr. Bill Choby presents how America, as the empire of liberty, has achieved freedom through the Godliness and goodness of its citizens.

Providing an essential insight into America’s past, it demonstrates how the country’s great forefathers fought against an oppressive government and sought freedom from political bondage through their selflessness and God-fearing personalities.

Dr. Choby also seeks to distinguish liberalism from liberty and define what true liberty is by highlighting what made the American government unique in all of history—faith, courage, discipline, and personal sacrifice.

In this book, he offers the ongoing challenges faced by freedom in the present and how the American people can secure the blessings of liberty for the future generations

Although Dr. Bill Choby is a practicing implant surgeon and dentist in Greensburg, PA. he also has been a first-person re-enactor of a middle-aged Col. George Washington reflecting on his adventures during the French and Indian War. The connection between Col. Washington and Dr. Choby is a common interest for mounted fox hunting, a love of God and country, and a nearly identical physical stature of 6’3” and 225 lbs. The euphoria rush of galloping over hill and dale in pursuit of a pack of hounds is a treasured shared experience with G.W.

As Col. Washington, Bill has been a frequent sight riding his horse in the Fort Ligonier Days parades. Bill has given first-person presentations at school assemblies, Pennsylvania’s Military Museum, civic luncheons, church assemblies, tea parties, and the numerous reenactments commemorating the French and Indian War in Western Pennsylvania. Bill was also the standing model for John Buxton’s 250th anniversary commemorative painting of Washington crossing the Allegheny River in December of 1753. Bill’s replica uniform was custom made from an actual portrait of Col. Washington by Charles Wilson Peale painted in 1772. Bill added his own custom riding boots just like George would have used.
