The Code
Author: James Loughrey; Patrick Fosnacht
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469185563
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
The Code is a personal memoir about change of heart. The setting and the events described herein took place in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969. The initial fear associated with exposure to enemy fire and the resulting injuries and death of fellow soldiers gives way to an acceptance or numbness of the psyche of the survivor. In any war, the soldier’s need to operate at a high level and to do his or her job often required the trading off of what we know to be reasonable. We changed to survive. When the war was over, for some, the road back to humanness was hard to find. As children, we learn how to love and to be loved back. We never had to practice the skill of loving. It came naturally. The Code is about how, no matter how long it takes, those basic skills are always within our reach with the help of Faith, Family and Friends.

Johnny Came Home
Author: Edward Goodan
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595165915
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 590
Book Description
Isolation and despair. Three individuals are caught in a tapestry of deceit and drug dependency. Drug use helps them escape from the pressures of reality and their inability to adjust to and confront their problems. Their deceit is necessary to rationalize their actions to themselves and explain their activities to others. John's war experiences still haunt him but not any more so than his failed marriages and the children he so desperately longs to see again. Jack loves his father but can't escape the specter of his crippling injuries to find a life of his own. Larry just wants to impress his peers and enjoy life, but his means don't tend to accomplish those ends. Perhaps John, the older man with the much more tangible problems, is in a position to see more clearly how his drug dependency and deceit has destroyed what was most precious in his life. Perhaps John can find a way out of the morass that his life has sunk into. Perhaps his efforts can help the men a generation younger than himself find their way.

Salvation
Author: David Cocklin
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039100538
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
SALVATION [sal-vey-shuhn] The act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, destruction, etc. Redemption. Salvation: Lyric & Verse Anthology brings together an expansive collection of stories and reflections on a myriad of topics; from love and lost love, to hope, conflict, spirituality and philosophy. It ranges everywhere from a deeply personal introspection right through to a broad spectrum of social observation. The emotionally evocative tales are littered with truisms, sarcasm, symbolism and analogies, while keeping the reader engaged and intrigued. Lyricist David Cocklin maintains a great variety in his tone, inflection, and subject matter all through the whole collection, so it never feels like the monotonous exercise of a single voice, and never sacrifices the integrity of the thought to the rhyme. His observations, their insights, the color and nuance, and his sheer creativity of expression is fully deployed.
