Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a special book, written in a special way, for a special purpose. The book contains fourteen poems that have come to me over the years. Some people have suggested that these are God-inspired because they all have some reference to the spiritual realm. I don't know if they are or not, but because of the manner in which they have come to me, I don't claim them exclusively as my own. I didn't always appreciate this gift as something special until recently when people with whom I've shared this body of work have encouraged me to get it published. The poems address the blessings of family and friendships, community, self-awareness, prayer, and reconciliation. In reading this book I hope you find connections that inspire you to reflect on your own experiences and how these blessings have enriched your life . . . the unexamined life is an empty vessel.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Lie and the Light examine the impact of six lies that have shaped beliefs that drive partisan politics. Washington has become dysfunctional, gridlocked, immobilized by internal strife and the blurring of lines of authority among the three branches of government. We have become a nation of disconnected values and beliefs. Young adults so hyper-sensitive that they seek refuge in safe zones, lest they be traumatized by words and ideas they find offensive. In their minds disagreement equates hate; labels are pinned on anyone who dares to disagree. Free speech stifled by lemmings afraid to think for themselves. Socialism is on the rise. America is in trouble.The Lie and the Light reveals that the fundamental disagreement dividing us is not any of the aforementioned; it is the chasm that exists between the worldviews of believers and unbelievers. It is becoming crystal clear that when moral and ethical principles are at stake, our government will push aside the Law above the law in favor of political correctness, in the belief that the wisdom and desires of humankind are superior to those of their Creator. America is in trouble. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1799, sixteen year old James McFadden runs from the terror of the orphanage that was his home for six years. Captured by Indians, he stays and comes of age with the tribe during the years of the Northwest Territory Indian Wars. James is torn between his loyalty to his race, and his love for those who loved and cared for him. He experiences the brutality, lies and deceit, that drive the conflict between Great Britain and the newly formed United States as he and the Native Americans are caught in the middle of a war they did not want. The story covers the period just prior to the Revolutionary War until December, 1816, when Indiana became the nineteenth State of the Union. The ever increasing press of frontiersmen and settlers squatting on land that does not belong to them forces the tribes to defend their ancient culture with the desperation of men who know they are destined to lose, but some would choose death, rather than succumb to the rule of the white eyes.Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, tries to unify the tribes remaining east of the Mississippi in an effort to recover lands, ceded by earlier chiefs, who placed their marks on treaties initiated by William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Northwest Territory. He acquired millions of acres of Indian hunting grounds, for pennies per two hundred acres and annual payments, including flour, salt, blankets, to be be distributed among the tribes. Such practices coupled with war and disease, effectively destroyed the Indians' way of life. James McFadden relates the story from his perspective as a man, like the tribes, caught in the middle of a firestorm. Tecumseh called the white eyes "the race of dark souls." Harrison and leaders of the time believed they were being guided, protected, by God's divine providence to tame the savages and claim the land. One must ask, if in their endless pursuit of acquiring all the land and wealth of the resources of North America, was it divine providence or subscribing to evil? Many Indians rejected Christianity, not because of Jesus, but because of the hypocrisy of many, who with their words claimed to be His followers, but their actions toward the Indians revealed a darker side. James and his wife experience great hardships, loss, and grief; their faith is challenged, but but in spite of torture, murder, and injustice, they prevail finding that indeed, good comes to those who wait upon the Lord. It's an epic tale based on actual events, a tale designed to arouse your beliefs about the fundamental nature of humanity. This item is printed on demand.
