Most people face challenges and problems in their life. In this inspiring account of a Christian couple's race together on the 'track of life', challenges are viewed as "hurdles to jump".

In their third decade together, they faced the death of their oldest son in a car accident; Lois's breast cancer; their daughter's cancer, diagnosed when she was 22 weeks pregnant; and Pat's cancer, which ultimately claimed his death in 2011. The presence and power of God in their lives is undeniable, despite their loss, grief and suffering. Their remarkable story begins with how Pat and Lois meet and are destined by God to run their races in life together. As they face hurdles, Lois shares how they are helped to jump, by their coach, Jesus.

This book is for anyone searching for answers on how to overcome life's challenges, where God is in life's suffering, and how to overcome the hurdles of life, yet come out a winner.

Book Description
This true story gives you a glimpse into my tumultuous life from childhood to the present. You will read about my ever-changing life in Europe, my challenges, insecurities, and bad choices, as well as my hopes and dreams that were crushed, then reborn. You will learn how I found courage that came out of suffering and, finally, happiness that came from the knowledge that I had survived. You will read about why I was forced to leave my beloved native country and how I tried to adapt to other countries and cultures. With each challenge, a stronger person emerged. This book is the story of the triumph of my life, while it so easily could have been a sad story with a tragic ending. Each reader will discover a chapter he or she can relate to. Some women who are stuck in unhappy lives might realize that they do not have to stay in that position. Maybe reading my book will empower them. It will let them know they are not alone and there is always a way out. With enough determination, it can be done. There is also something for the men: action, travels, and, yes, a murder . . . But more than that, my story will tell you how a man can have an enormous influence in a woman's life, and how the lack of his love can destroy, but the presence of his love can heal her. It is all about CHOICES. It is my hope that this is a book you cannot put down and that it will make you grateful for the wonderful gift of life. It is up to us to create our own story, no matter what hand life deals us.

Book Description
Book One: The Pairings The secret is locked in her mind—and they’ll do anything to get it. Generations ago, humanity was devastated by a virus that wiped billions from the planet. If not for AmeriGlobe’s Pairing programme to match immune survivors, and VaxWell’s immunity-boosting biomods, humans would’ve died out. Lora Flannigan has sought to conform to the strict laws throughout her eighteen years, and after the Testing she now stands on the brink of a prestigious pairing with high-caste Jarid. Accepting the match will pull her and her family up from their low-caste existence. But Lora never counted on the sparks that ignite when she meets her Pair’s striking brother: Syeth—dark, brooding and harbouring secrets. But before she’s managed to make sense of her feelings, he’s embroiled her in the rebellion underworld. And when still darker truths come to light, Lora realizes the purpose behind not only her pairing… but her very existence. But Lora never counted on the sparks that ignite when she meets her Pair’s striking brother: Syeth—dark, brooding and harbouring secrets. But before she’s managed to make sense of her feelings, he’s embroiled her in the rebellion underworld. And when still darker truths come to light, Lora realizes the purpose behind not only her pairing… but her very existence. Book Two: The Carrier She’s a miracle—one BioPure intends to recapture at any cost. In a world devastated by the Zero Virus, the BioPure vaccine was the cure that saved millions in the apocalyptic aftermath. Yet, it had an unfortunate side effect: it inhibited reproduction, necessitating the Parings system, which matches couples to one another in order to produce healthy, test-tube babies. But Lora Flannigan is the naturally conceived miracle child with a single genetic flaw that has become her greatest weapon. Perfect recall. Since Lora uncovered and exposed BioPure’s treachery, the enemy has stopped at nothing in their quest to hunt her down. Now part of the rebellion, Lora sets out with her loved ones across the rugged and untamed desolation of New California in order to discover what really happened to her mother. Book Three: The Unpaired They thought the virus had been eradicated—but it was only the beginning. Now the race is on. The rebel forces are hitting BioPure from all sides, but memory depletion is spreading rapidly as the virus New Zero takes hold of the populace. Lora Flannigan is a full-on rebel now, having thrown herself into helping her biological father develop a cure for the new outbreak that holds her parents in its grip. With her genetically altered perfect recall, Lora’s brain holds the blueprint for a permanent cure. But the Rebellion’s not the only group seeking the cure.

He always wondered what war would be like. "So This is War" a collage of emotions and events featuring the triumphs, defeats, hardships, humor, discomforts, and boredom of war as the author's Cavalry Squadron journeys around Iraq in an attempt to fight an invisible enemy, find a peace, and build a country. Combat has eluded the author since his initial enlistment in the Army during the Cold War in 1985. After leaving the service and living a cushy life as a finance executive in Arizona, Captain Olson returned to active duty following the attack on America on 9/11 and soon found himself fighting in Iraq with the legendary 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. Follow the adventures and thoughts of this Intelligence Officer as he endures a year of the triumphs, defeats, hardships, humor, discomforts, and boredom of war while his Cavalry Squadron moves through Kuwait to the Triangle of Death south of Baghdad and on to Northwest Iraq to tame the volatile city of Tal Afar and secure the vast and porous Syrian border from invading Jihadists. As Captain Olson soon learns, his visions of a glamorous, dangerous, and exhilarating war are quickly crushed as the officers and soldiers in the unit do their best to find and fight an invisible enemy, rebuild a once-great Iraqi Army, and attempt to gain the trust and cooperation of the Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish populace who are largely against the U.S. occupation.
