Book Description
Jenny parked just a short distance from her place of employment. She gathered her things, exited her car and began the short walk to the entrance to begin her shift... ...the next time she is aware of her surroundings it is nearly three months later and what took place while she was "away" was nothing less than horrific. Jenny contracted an extremely rare illness in March of 2013. It was 35 days before the diagnosed could be found. During this time her condition would change hour by hour and her family and friends were forced to stand by and helplessly watch as she deteriorated from a healthy and active 25-year-old woman, to someone who's physical and mental capacities resembled a newborn baby. As if this wasn't enough, many times a day Jenny would be visited by what her family came to view as demons that would trigger unpredictable and nearly indescribable behavior as well as create frightening hallucinations for Jenny, and those around her, to endure. It is no exaggeration to say that Jenny appeared to have been possessed by the devil. Her mother and father learned a new definition of "a parent's worst nightmare" and could not escape it any more than she could. Not even the doctors were able to help Jenny...or save her from the torment that the illness caused. The Girl on the 6th Floor is a truly unique story about a rare and devastating illness; told from the perspective of Jenny's father while witnessing his child going through this odyssey. This book is an honest and detailed look at what took place day-by-day coping with a devastating illness. It reveals the fear and pain of a family, the compassion and dedication of medical professionals, and the difficulties all of them faced while dealing with something they didn't understand. Surprisingly, there is also some laughter along the way.

"If you struggle with anxiety, stress, or fear, this book was written for you. Larry covers a variety of topics, such as: loneliness, forgiveness, prayer, grace, death, and more. Unshakable! helps the reader keep their hope in God and their emotions in check during life's darkest moments. This will be a book you will read over and over." —Pastor Randy Cowart, City Church, Auburn/Opelika, Alabama You can be unshakable. What is keeping you up at night? Are you worried that God has forgotten you? If you're like many people, you no doubt have anxious moments. Just as Jesus faced his emotional distress head on by challenging every poisonous thought and feeling, you must so the same. What if you give God the next forty days of your life to find peace in the chaos? You can live unstoppable. When fear holds on tight, remember God travels broken roads looking for those crushed in spirit. Wounded hearts on winding backstreets call to him. He cannot stay away. Like a storm chaser, he runs into your tornado. It's your broken heart and crushed spirit that he can't resist. Drawing inspiration from the last three hours Jesus hung on the cross, best-selling author and pastor Larry Dugger sheds lights on what to do when you feel trapped in a dark place. You can trust God with the impossible. This forty-day action plan is designed to move you away from anxiety, worry, and emotional distress. It's time for you to stop seeking the predictable in times of crisis. God is not predictable. He is so much more than stained glass. He is creative, wild, and free to do as he wishes.

Book Description
Poof! By: Leonard Archie Wilson In June 2004, Leonard Archie Wilson underwent open heart surgery for heart failure, often referred to as a cabbage by the medical community, the kind of operation that leaves the patient with a zipper scar on the chest. The operation was successful, but while unconscious, Leonard had the first of many vivid dreams over a fourteen year period. This book is a compilation of those dreams. They range from the mundane to the mystical. At the urging of his daughter, Jacqueline, he kept a journal on his bedside table in which he wrote contemporaneously as he woke from each dream. This book cannot be accurately described as fiction nor is it biographical. They are real experiences, they are dreams. You will find that Poof! is a rollercoaster ride of mystical and imaginative events, buckle up and enjoy.

"When Ethan crashed, the sky flipped. His head flung back upon the ice with a yellow, electric flash. Then there was dark nothingness. He never felt the pain when the tendon attached to his left kneecap suddenly let go." Shy but athletic, honest but unlucky, Ethan Atwood's path through life goes from triumph to tragedy, from winning the toughest of downhill ski races to a night of seduction and betrayal. After a skiing accident on the Italian slopes, Ethan ends up in the hospital. Recovering from knee surgery, his dreams of World Cup victories and of spending the rest of his life in Vermont with the only woman he ever loved splinter into shards with the visit of a beautiful, young Italian girl. Set against the European Alps, the ski mountains of New England, and the Colorado Rockies, "Moonlight in Vermont" moves from hilarity and the highly competitive thrills of downhill racing to the bitterness of rejection, drunkenness, and depression. But it's during a wild blizzard on a Vermont mountain that Ethan's destiny will be decided.

Book Description
Albert Meisner is really incensed; not only is he being blamed for the catastrophe that transported his whole property, his family, their friends and two unexpected guests to this peculiar world; the whiskey he’s been drinking is having no effect on him! The truly culpable person is Frank; his future son-in-law who is now in a coma from the power surge precipitated by his experimentation with the ‘harmless’ alien objects Albert had salvaged a dozen years earlier from the wreckage of a spaceship. Albert learns that just moments before the catastrophic event catapulted them to this place, the secret service and army had been situated right outside his front gate about to raid his home. As all vestiges of 21st century life have disappeared, the question becomes not where are they, but when? Though Albert boasts he’s just a ‘simple trucker’, he sets out to chronicle all the events that may have contributed to their predicament in the hope of discovering how it could’ve happened and who or what really caused it. As if things couldn’t get worse, a shovel and pick-axe being used to fortify the compound against a possible attack from their new neighbours go missing.
