Book Description
In January 1778, Anna Stone is a twenty-nine-year-old healer, wife of a rebellious Baptist-preacher-turned-soldier, and mother of three. Her husband, Benjamin, writes from Valley Forge with worrisome tidings. Anna's brothers, Henry and Jeremiah, who are in Benjamin's unit, have contracted smallpox. Benjamin downplays the severity of their illness in his letter, which arouses Anna's suspicions that he, too, is ill. Not content to remain at home in Virginia, Anna packs food and supplies, leaves her children with family, and strikes out alone on horseback for Pennsylvania. Anna knows that, should Benjamin perish, the county orphan's court will appoint a male guardian to oversee her children's futures--without regard for her preferences. After her experience being raised under the care of a guardian, Anna vows to move heaven and earth to keep her children from suffering the same fate. In her efforts to render the aid that will hold her family together, Anna is swept into a plot that could spell dire consequences for George Washington, the Continental Army, and the new nation's quest for liberty. Answering Liberty's Call is based on family legend and events in the lives of the author's six times great-grandparents.

Book Description
Liberty Call¡Port of Spain¡Gut-bustlingly, hilariously, and outrageously funny." The plot starts with three comical, class clowns turned military offi cers. Chief Warrant Offi cer Kenneth Nelton, Ensign Alfred Boltan, and Ensign Gregory Washington fi nd themselves stationed together onboard a naval vessel. These misfi ts are keen at creating continual pranks just to keep the crew in good spirits, but always manage to keep senior management in turmoil from their silly plots in the name of fun. Later, these three fi nd themselves united with the king of pranks and mastermind of deception, Lieutenant Barry Soliere, when deceptively plotting for new transfer orders to Spain. Shortly upon their transfer, this elite group of comical military misfi ts fi nds themselves assigned on a fi ve-day temporary duty in Spain. Unable to distinguish their professional demeanor from everyday play, their non-stop childish behavior continually spills over into the workplace as they delight co-workers but manage to piss off senior management. They embark on a fun-fi lled adventure while on liberty. They fi nd themselves in deep trouble with a corrupt Spanish mobster when they befriend the boss¡¦ exwife and his fi ancé, top models and strippers. As if making an enemy out of the mob boss is not enough, they turn around and have a run-in with a notorious, dangerous, Jamaican drug lord while out on the town. Liberty Call is a laugh-out-loud comedy written with a solid storyline and a myriad of funny twists and turns. If you simply enjoy comedy, this is a must read. If you love hilarious comedy, then spend a quiet afternoon with this one. There are all sorts of knuckleheads whom we work with daily. Every organization has them, and these comical idiots are not uncommon; however, Liberty Call has an exceptionally higher concentration than most workplaces. It is a masterpiece that melds a little of everything: crazy humor, and romantic and not-so-romantic scenes. It is an outrageous, hilarious comedy, with escalating comical events about day-to-day living with Liberty Call.

Book Description
Facet by facet this internationally acclaimed Christian thinker examines life and the universal search for its meaning. What is "the call"? Far bigger than our jobs, deeper than our personal accomplishments, higher than our wildest ideas of self-fulfillment, our "calling" addresses the very essence of our existence. Discovering it in times past has changed whole nations and cultures. It could do the same to ours. A classic reflective work in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and Oswald Chambers, now ready to challenge the latest generation of high school and college graduates.
