Softcover. Condition: Good. <br /><br /><b>Fantasies can sometimes mess up the real thing.</b><br /><br />Austy Nunziata has spent two years pining for her married best friend and about the same amount of time berating herself for it. In fact, she's so adept at trying to stamp out her feelings that she could probably write a How-To guide on the subject. One, move 3,000 miles away from your best friend. Two, get a time-consuming job so you don't have time to think about your best friend. Three, hang out with new friends who aren't anywhere as enchanting as your best friend. Four, get involved with a striking woman who is smart, sexy, caring and, most importantly, available, unlike your best friend. Five, hope the new love interest doesn't find out about your pathetic best friend obsession before you have time to replace it with actual life-altering love. <br /><br />Even following her own step-by-step process, Austy may not be able to redirect all of her misguided feelings. Becoming involved with Elise Bridie helps her realize how pointless her pining has been. But when Elise suspects that she harbors feelings for someone else, will their new found love survive the unrequited infatuation of Austy's fantasies?.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Too much Brautigan (is there such a thing?) on leaves of grass?! Not enough Whitman and trout fishing in America?! Perhaps visa versa or merely another ring in the tree of musings until dislodged, dissected and juxtaposed within the arbor of one's mind. Dangerous as splinters yet safe as sheets of paneling right off the sale truck. Primarily an assembly of disparate short poems but all interlaced and held together by more than a facade of binding. A piercing quasi-confessional that goes from a dark that no one knows to a light look inside that might renew you a bit if only for a brief chuckle. Inspired by life, art, music and what goes bump in the night the poems seep into your soul like an old friend of song yet erupt with fresh rhythms and surprising sensations. From the tragic (yet humorous) to multiple layers of nonsensical shellac (or is it?), vibrations and words to slap, sway, save or stain anyone who would heed. So poke yourself with slivers and/or settle into that newly paneled rec-room and drift away.

Softcover. Condition: Good. You Are Seeking God. Or, maybe you have found Him but you have some lingering questions. You are not alone.Since Christ came to Earth to reveal the truth to mankind, over 2000 years have passed! Has man altered Christ's message in any way? Has the truth become increasingly hard to find for each generation? Does this lead to uncertainty and lingering questions?Sadly, the answer to all three questions is, "yes." During the 20 centuries that have passed since Christ walked the Earth, various men have altered the meaning of God's words for reasons that have long been forgotten. But the resulting false beliefs remain in Christianity today. Add to that the ever-changing "norms" of society from one generation to the next . 20 centuries of changes! All of this keeps accumulating and it has effectively place a veil over our eyes today. A veil that is keeping us from seeing the truth. A veil that allows for doubt and deception.Fortunately, the Bible still contains the Lord's truth. But, unfortunately, few of us take the time to read it and even fewer study it enough to fully understand it.Now help is at hand!Don't Be Deceived is a book that clearly and easily reveals the meaning and truth in God's word. This book is an easy-to-read walk through the Bible that reveals God's truth in clarity that you have never experienced before.Why is this book so different? It is a fascinating and riveting book to read yet it adheres strictly to the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages of the Bible to show you the true message of the Bible's authors. As each topic is discussed, you will see for yourself what meaning was originally intended in each scripture mentioned.Rest easy . No one is trying to get you to change churches!Whether you were raised Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Mormon, Quaker (or any of the over 400 denominations), open your mind and just be a Christian for a while. This book is a wholly non-denominational look at God's word -- it sticks strictly to Biblical scripture. As you read this book, have your Bible beside you and read God's words for yourself as you follow God's instructions to "Test Everything."

Softcover. Condition: Good. Debarred the use of Arms is a warning to all American gun owners who currently believe their rights under the second amendment are secure. The Author is a former UK police officer of 21 years who enforced gun law in the UK. He observed first hand the steady restriction on gun owners, culminating in the total ban of handgun ownership and the resulting massive rise in armed crime. The book details the events in the UK leading up to the ban and the arguments used in the UK that are now being offered in the USA. It is particularly critical of The Brady Group whose policies have seriously endangered public safety in the USA. The horrific events at Columbine, Virginia Tech and others are recounted in chilling detail with actual facts, not anti gun spin. This book is a must read for all who care about the right to defend themselves and their families. Now a US resident, Certified NRA Instructor and Kentucky DOJ Registered Concealed Carry Instructor Steve Challis, along with his wife Eva run Harmony Hollow Firearms Training in Jeffersonville, Ky. Both are active supporters of the Second Amendment and Steve has been invited to speak at pro gun rights events since moving to the USA. The forward to this book is by Lt Col Dave Grossman a former West Point professor and noted author of several books that are required reading at the FBI academy and many Police Departments throughout the USA. Upon reviewing this book, Lt. Col. Grossman U.S. Army (Ret.) Director, Killology Research Group, stated; And thus the book that you hold in your hands is one of the most important books to be published in recent years, written by a former British law enforcement officer, with a vital message that we must read and heed. If England cannot make gun control work, then there is no way on earth that it will ever work in the US. All England has succeeded in doing is to create one vast "unarmed victim zone." And that is the future of our nation if the gun grabbers have their way! We are in a battle for the future, soul and safety of our nation, and my good friend Stephen Challis is uniquely qualified to give us this message. Do not just read this book. Study it. Apply it. And pass it on, with urgency, to others. If the gun grabbers have their way, then England is our future. And it is a dark and desperate future, indeed.

All leadership and leaders-in-training will want to embrace the Eggs of Wisdom and share them with their staff. The Rabbit Nibbles and discussion points at the end of each chapter make this book ideal for staff training. -DAVID N. JONES President/CEO Arizona Contractors Association As leaders and potential leaders come to know Freddy, they will identify with his struggles, his lessons, his failures, and his triumphs. This simple little story contains kernels of truth and wisdom that "anybunny" would appreciate. -KRISTIN ROHR Vice President City Marketing Associates a division of City Images From the Publisher This is an excellent common sense, easy read book about leading and understanding people. It is inspirational to all types of leaders in practice and would-be leaders. The magic of the story uncovers the true feelings and leadership values that each one of us possess. From the Author We believe the "magic" of leadership is in all of us. It is not a basic formula that fits the diversity of people in the world and therefore leadership inside each one of us is unique. One common thread to motivate a multitude of personalities is to learn and exploit the strengths in people. But what can't be ignored is facing the consequences of tackling the tough issues of bad behavior and poor performers. We hope our animated story touches the common issues we all face and allows you to see how "anybunny" can be successful. About the Author We crossed paths seven years ago and instantly discovered we held the same passion for working with people. We combined our spirited work ethic to create Aspect Associates, LLC. Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. I am descended from a long line of Easter Bunnies, going back to my great-great-great-great grandfather who started this whole Easter egg business. This is where the title CHO distinguished us from everybunny else. It was expected in my family, that when the Chief Hare Officer retires, his eldest son would take over the business and carry on the legacy. Thats the way its been for generations, and that was what my family expected of me. But I knew I couldnt do the CHO job, because I didnt want the responsibility. I just wasnt a leader, or what they call in this business, the Head Hopper. I was the quiet, shy sort, choosing never to run for class office or competing to captain any of the sports teams at Cotton High. Oh, I knew something about being a part of a team, but I knew nothing about leading a team. As I was growing up, I always figured Id just pass the job of CHO along to one of my younger bunny brothers. My only problem was that as the years went by, Mama and Papa Bunny didnt have any more baby bunnies. It was just me. Thats it. An ONLY bunny, which you have to admit in our world is pretty rare. If you think about it, this whole Easter egg business is pretty silly and holds no substantial value. You see, our target market is really the kids. Theyre the reason we became successful in the first place. I mean were in business because those little bipeds cherish finding and collecting our product on Easter morning. I have to give credit to the hens though, without them, we wouldnt have a product to push. You know all throughout the year, folks are so particular about their eggs. We kept hearing things like, "Are they good for you?" and "Only eat the white part." Heck, every time you turned around, the government was running some type of study on eggs.

Is what we believe really what the Bible teaches, or have we gone off track?In this study, Paul Sellman surveys the Bible to see what is said about our mortality, heaven and hell, and our everlasting future. Incorporating both the Old and New Testaments, vital ideas are brought to the forefront, such as the Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the truth about immortality. Beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, you'll find that many of the things we teach and sing about have little grounding in Scripture. This study will challenge you to re-examine much of what you've taken for granted and ask some tough questions that normally don't get asked, such as: How come the Old Testament doesn't anything about going to heaven? What does the Bible say about an immortal soul? If we die and go to heaven, what does it mean to be asleep in Christ? The answers to these and other questions will be most thought-provoking.

He was simply a real dog with real observations about real situations. And the Oz experience reinforced what his parents taught him as a small pup: Care deeply. Bark only when necessary but then, forcefully. Be curious. Express yourself. Embrace the world and have no fears. The story of Dorothy's journey to Oz has captivated generations of children and adults alike since it was first published by L. Frank Baum in 1900. Dorothy's adventures have been analyzed from virtually every perspective-psychological, historical, economic, and the like-except from the perspective of the only other character that was with her every step of the way: Toto! Dorothy's little dog wrote this book and buried his manuscript in a can with an old bone on the original Gale farmstead. Dr. Fickenscher came upon it quite accidently and was given the opportunity to edit Toto's original thoughts on the Leadership Lessons from The Wizard of Oz, which he now shares with you. Of course, there are the usual thoughts on brainpower, heart, and courage, but in this book, there is much, much more. The many lessons of Oz will captivate your imagination and, no doubt, serve as a guide in your quest to become a better leader! Toto's Reflections will help you contribute to making a difference in the world, and challenge you to consider what you can do, starting right now, to make the world a better place!.

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Anyone that knows the city of Kingsport, the Model City, our "Little Apple", knows about Church Circle and the area adjacent to it: Five Points. For a moment let's examine this fine town the way it is now and the way it used to be. It used to be that Kingsport, Tennessee wasn't King's Port at all. It was part of a Cherokee nation so vast and so rich in agriculture and history, oral history, that the area was actually a sacred ground to these Native Americans. What is called Long Island here in Kingsport, Tennessee was once a hallowed stretch a four and a half mile island that was nestled between the Holston River and the Sluice, revered by the tribesman for its energy and spiritual presence. It was said that no man could be killed on Long Island. But in 1777 the chiefs gathered and signed a treaty with the white man, giving up not only hundreds of thousands of their acreage, but millions including the sacred ground known as Long Island. Because the chieftains' decision was not unanimous among the elders or their sons a powerful curse was placed upon the hallowed ground: No white man would ever find peace there. A mere window of events is shared within the pages of this book that offer only a glimpse of what life was like thereafter.
