Shhh! Can You Hear Him?
Author: Dr. Sandra Hayes, PhD
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The enemy cannot stop destiny. As a young girl in Meggett, South Carolina (twenty miles south of Charleston), Sandra Magwood grew up very poor in a quaint, little four-room home with nine other children; she did not know they were poor. Although she was taught about Jesus, she was ashamed to say his name. She had no idea how significant her reliance was upon him as sovereign would save her life and guide her into her destiny, which far exceeded anything she ever imagined. Those who prophesied into her life about God planted seeds in her heart that were nurtured and watered for harvest at the appointed time of its manifestation. For years, she ran from any reminders of who God was and what he could do. Her ignorance beforehand did not stop her destiny and God’s plans for her. At every stumbling block in her life, she was met with a ram in the bush for deliverance. Unbeknown to her, she was in a preparatory phase, as she ran more into his presence, diligently seeking his will and ways well before her challenges. She was kept through an open-heart surgery, major emergency surgery, broken heart, military sexual trauma, and through a crippling unforgiving spirit. She always knew she would become an author confirmed by God and by so many who prophesied from her testimonials and encouraged her to write books. She knows what a broken spirit feels like, and one of her greatest joys is to encourage and uplift others. She writes about truth, family, faith, hope, forgiveness, and humor when humor is fitting. Shhh! Can You Hear Him? is divinely written, divinely motivated, divinely encouraged, and divinely inspired by and through God. God poured into her over the decades, and she pours into others while giving God all the praise, glory, and honor that he rightfully deserves.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Jim Carlson’s most vivid memories of childhood are of his estranged father’s obsession with parring the Savage. Located on the island of Caramus, the 458-yard, par 4, 16th hole at Wild Links has presumably never been parred. At age twenty-five, Jim sets off to Caramus. Over the course of this golfing weekend, his life is forever transformed. There is the beautiful Tina, who presents Jim with a challenge to rival his own dream of parring the Savage. And there is John; a handsome, solidly built enigma of a young man who can knock the cover off a golf ball and plans to make his own run at the Savage—by using a gold ball, a 9-iron, and a little bit of magic. Nine-Iron John is a tale about reconciling a painful past with the hope for the future. It’s about fathers and sons, the fertile territory of the male ego, about coming to terms with the pursuit of athletic and sexual conquests. It’s about the search for dignity and self-respect, the desire to love and to be loved. It is the story of the journey that all men begin… that only a select few ever manage to successfully complete.

Book Description
By the late 1960’s... The challenge that invigorated early attitudes, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", seemed to have been long forgotten. Letters from Nam, returning soldiers, and a war that appeared to have no end, had shifted public opinion. "Hell No! We Won’t Go!" was the reply by the end of the decade. Music would swing from doo wop to acid rock. Hair grew from duck tails, to mop tops, ratted and teased, to flowers and beads. This novel is about relationships between people, and the effect that pop culture, and historical events had upon their lives. You know these people, they are your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and associates... every day, ordinary people. As the trilogy comes to it’s conclusion, Turn on, tune in, drop out...

Pages : 537
Book Description
The “highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible” #1 New York Times bestseller—now with sixteen pages of photos and a new introduction (The New York Times). My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world. --from the Introduction Actual reader feedback: "I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don’t believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist." "I’ll stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. You’re an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."

Dandelions on 240 North
Author: David Schnieders
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1598580272
Category : Adolescence
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Dandelions on 240 North is just a story. It came from a combination of fabrications and actual events that occurred over the years while we spent summers at the lake. It is a book for young people in some ways and a book for adults too. I wrote it with the intention of entertaining the readers. But I also hoped that the readers would enjoy experiencing the innocent approach that children take towards the unique people around them. The neighbors down the road at the lake confuse the nine-year old Jamie. One has been labeled a lesbian because she lived with another lady for nineteen years and was never married before. Another neighbor has been called a killer. He uses his shotgun to kill the moles in his yard. Jamie struggles to understand these people. As the summer passes, she begins to form her own opinions about these people. In the novel, Jamie is the one who shows us how to be more tolerant, but it isn't easy for her. The dog Dunker is simply a stray dog that happens to add to the emotions that are so plentiful among the neighbors. Humor, anger, hatred, sorrow, and love all come to 240 North on the back of this stray dog. Dunker is the tool that Jamie uses unknowingly to shape her values. Biography David Schnieders was almost born in a taxicab en route to the hospital in Indianapolis. His mother said she still had her shoes on when he showed up. He was the third son and he would be one of six children. His father was an independent insurance agent and his mother stayed home to referee the children, cook, do homework and laundry, clean house, and drive to practices, doctors' appointments, and the emergency room. A Catholic family, the children all went to Catholic grade schools and high schools. In grade school Schnieders was not much of an athlete despite the efforts of his father and the examples of his older brothers. David was content to play in the basement with his toy town and train. His next favorite past time was to chase his terrified younger sister around the house with a mounted deer head that was kept in the basement. He tried hard to be good in school when he was young, and he did not like to draw any attention to himself. Attention made him so nervous that one teacher called his mother to see if he was epileptic. By middle school he had become a Boy Scout and learned to enjoy the outdoors and the many overnight campouts. He moved from his basement town out to the basketball court in the backyard. His three-year middle school career netted him a single point, a banked in free throw. Middle school also brought a girlfriend, assigned by the student majority. In ninth grade Schnieders attended a day-time seminary school. A priest who was a good family friend encouraged it and Schnieders's parents were thrilled. Schnieders was not. That lasted a year. He transferred to Cathedral High School, where he spent three years learning some good things and lots of bad habits. It would be those bad habits that led to shortened college experience and a three-year stint in the US Navy. While aboard the USS Schenectady (LST1183), Schnieders traveled the Pacific Ocean and saw much of Southeast Asia. A quick stop in Viet Nam made him a war veteran and allowed him to leave the Navy early with a much-improved attitude toward education. He immediately re-enrolled in college and began his studies to become a teacher. He graduated in 1974 from St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin, with a teaching degree. After teaching a year in Green Bay, Schnieders returned to Indianapolis to teach. A year later married Sue, a teacher who happened to work across the hall from his younger sister. Schnieders started his family a year later with a daughter Jamie, followed by Katie, Mary, and David. After teaching and coaching in parochial middle schools for fifteen years, Schnieders took a position at the Indiana School for the Blind in 1989 as a fifth grade teacher, and he is now working there as a middle school teacher.
