Terry Painter is more than worried as he watches his town slowly die. He has to reach farther and farther to keep the family business, The Brushville Paint Contractors, afloat. In an attempt to clean out his shop and compile information that would allow him to start the only paint store for miles around, he stumbles onto something remarkable. A special blend of paint his father created called Painter’s Green.

At first, it all seems so ridiculous, that his old man actually thought of getting rich off a special color of paint. However, a little curiosity leads him to discover that not only does Painter’s Green replenish itself, but also it causes whatever and wherever it’s applied to flourish after just one single coat.  Is it some kind of blessing from above? At first, that is what Terry thinks. That is, until he is called to paint the local funeral home.

NEXUS   -    Ebook

Author: N. E. Walker

Joe Nichols lives a quiet, unassuming life with his wife, Alice, and his daughter, Melissa.  Their house will never grace the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, and their furniture is old and worn out, but it is a happy home.  Their daily routine is quite predictable, in fact, until old dreams and obsessions, banished to the recesses of Joe’s mind years ago, are abruptly awakened as he sits in a theatre watching a new blockbuster children’s movie with Melissa.  Scene by scene, he realizes that the story is identical to a book he wrote years earlier when he dreamed of becoming a published author.  Barely controlled anger seethes inside him as he watches someone else’s name roll by in the credits, but what can he do?  After years ago being forced to choose between Alice and his writing, will his marriage survive if he dredges up the old obsessions once again, and to what lengths will he go to expose the thief and get the fame he deserves?  This is the starting point of Nexus, a nail biter of a mystery, which ends with a distinct sci-fi twist.  

I highly recommend it.  In fact, I can’t wait to read more by Walker!

   How can the world be at peace if you are not at peace?  By carrying these (negative) thoughts in your conscious mind, you are adding to the suffering. There is no need for this. Pg. 137

Genre: Religion/Philosophy

The Messiahship of the Lord provides a passionate conversation for reflective thought on the use and importance of miracles, how Satan has usurped the role of the divine in everyday lives and how people of all faiths can look to the Lord of the Second Advent for redemption. Using at times, casual language, Nseka methodically leads the reader through his points to his ultimate conclusions.
The Messiahship of the Lord is a thought provoking discussion on the mission and importance of the Messiah and on the relationship between Jesus and his disciples. It is a passionate piece of work that respectfully acknowledges other religious points of view while putting forth the author’s well- organized thesis.

 A Guide to the Best in Cinema Thrills

AUTHOR:  John Howard Reid

For all you movie buffs out there, this is an outstanding reference book.  Subtitled Mystery, Suspense, Film Noir and Detective Movies on DVD, this is one of the most comprehensive and detailed summaries of the genres (as indicated by the subtitle) that I’ve seen compiled to date. Written in two parts, the first 300 pages provides short but concise descriptions of well over 200 titles on currently released on DVD.  Sorted alphabetically, each mini-review provides detailed information on the cast, the film crew and studio, a synopsis, interesting production notes and a critical summary of the film itself.  The book is illustrated by a couple hundred photos–mostly stills from the actual movies–, which work nicely to break up the text in this extensive project.

Author:   J.B. BERGSTAD

The best thing about this collection of short stories is the author’s outstanding skill at character development. I’m a huge fan of books that are character-driven; in fact, much more so than plot-driven. The reason for that? Well, if the characters captivate me, then I’m happy with the story, no matter what happens. And Bergstad’s seven short stories are definitely page-turners, for exactly that reason.

This Sci-Fi novel moves at warp speed as what has become a corrupt human race fights for its very survival against an alien race armed with superior weapons and backed by a leader who claims be an all powerful All Mother.

The story begins with a prologue in which the main character, Stella McMasters, saves the life of a comrade life, is almost killed in the process and is saved when physicians remove her radioactive flesh and turn her into a superhuman cyborg. The action starts when she is given command of her first space ship and McMasters soon finds herself cast into the role of saving humanity from the alien menace.
This is a no-nonsense space battle story with plenty of action to move the story forward through all the twists and turns of deception, treason, human selfishness, prejudice  and - of course - love. And as it is with most of the best Sci-Fi, the story will cause you to contemplate some of the big question humans face when they look up at the night sky and wonder: do I matter, is there a god, what’s it all about, Alfie?

LIVING INSIDE THE TESTIMONY

Living Inside The Testimony is a collection of anecdotes compiled by author Betty Collier. In reading these stories, you will share in her journey and experience the inspiration, faith, hope, humor, romance, and love she experienced.  The stories revolve around Betty's experiences with her family, friends, and other individuals who have contributed, often unknowingly, to the path God has chosen for her.  You will hear the story of how Betty fell in love at age fourteen (with her future husband), about her husband's near death experience with emergency brain surgery at a young age, her experiences in New York a week prior to 9/11, and the frustrating ordeal she and her husband overcame when trying to build their dream home. 

Betty attributes her success and her great love to God, and she shares with readers how God has orchestrated her life's path every step of the way.  Betty's prayer is that you will see and feel Proverbs 3:5-6 come alive and speak to your heart as you take a walk with her, inside her testimony.  She hopes you enjoy the journey and discover that we all live inside testimonies meant to be shared with others.

 Living Inside the Testimony is a worthwhile and encouraging read. It will light the path for seeing that though things may not always go smoothly, with God in our lives, they will go according to His plan if we will allow them. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to reaffirm the purpose in their life.Reviewed by: Donetta Garman, Allbooks Review

MURDEROUS INTELLECTUALS

"Jonathan Maxwell's compellingly readable book takes the reader inside Nazi Germany on many different levels. The book provides a portrait of a people and a country in continuous flux, from the events that led to Hitler's popularity, to the Hitler Youth movement, to the embrace of national socialism, to Hitler's warped inner circle. A fine piece of work, Maxwell's book will appeal to general readers interested in the inherent drama of Hitler's unnerving rise to power and his subsequent apocalyptic fall." -Jean Sasson, New York Times bestselling author

Jonathan Maxwell's critically-acclaimed history of the Nazi SS is now available on www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, www.pdbookstore.com, and at Books In Print and independent booksellers.

Confrontation: An Axe of Iron Novel

Author: J.A. Hunsinger

Have you ever been enthralled by a story of people thrown into improbable circumstance such as being marooned in a foreign land among people with whom you cannot communicate? People will go wild for movies or TV shows that depict such situations. Why not enjoy the story and adventures of people who might very well have existed? 

Vinland is the Norse name for the area colonized by Vikings in what we now call the St Lawrence River Valley in Canada. Due to the lack of a written record it is impossible to give an exact accounting of events at the settlements, but through careful historical research it is possible to accurately set the stage for what might have actually happened.

SHORT CIRCUS
Twelve-year-old Jem Lockwood has been fatherless for four years and finally gets a Big Brother, but just as the best summer of his life is about to begin, he discovers that Jesse Standish's rented house is about to be sold. Jem does all in his daring imagination to make Jesse's house unmarketable, and the neighborhood unfit for prospective buyers. This three-ring circus romps with Jem's boyhood friends and older brother Chris, all recognizable kids who share in the rough-and-tumble delight of living in a northern Massachusetts city whose newspaper is delivered by kids on bikes, where kids play in the streets, and the local convenience store is owned by the family of Jesse's girlfriend, Andrea. Sadly the city's swimming pond has been sabotaged, and the city has to close it to all recreation after two boys are injured. Jem is sure he knows who did it, and helps carry out a plan to punish the evildoer.

".  .  . meaningful, lighthearted, and endearing for both adults and children alike. It's offbeat and wonderfully campy,and it will stay with you long after the circus has rolled up its tents and left the grounds."                         -- Eric Jones for Bookreview.com

THE CRUSADING SPIRIT OF MODERN AMERICA

It seems that every generation has some sort of watershed moment. In recent American history there has been the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The next generation grew up in the aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It took 40 years for the next event of this sort to occur. That was the attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on the ninth of September in 2001. The major difference in the country in 2001 was a definite political polarization and a seemingly new word had come into some usage. That word is – neoconservative. 

In this book, Richard Bazillion has made a laudable effort to present his case for the history and evolution of the term ‘neoconservative’ in its current usage. The research is quite detailed and well explained. Dr. Bazillion then continues to tie this school of neoconservative thought into a study of the motivations and strategy and general outlook for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also includes a chapter on the war America isn’t fighting and that is the war with Iran that has been simmering since 1979.

 A Full House – But Empty  Filled with anecdotes, lessons learned, and inspirational messages for everyone, Angus Munro’s inspiring memoir details overcoming life’s obstacles with key messages to success.
 Full House – But Empty is a vivid account of one man’s journey through a life that witnessed pain, sorrow and the basic struggles to achieve and maintain one’s sense of pride and purpose against all odds. Angus was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He claims his sense of self-worth was first shattered at the tender age of three, when his mother abandoned the family (or was thrown out by the father). Growing up in the Depression years, with a single parent (his father), Munro is riddled with emotions that range from disillusionment to anger as he confronts a daily battle with his insecurities and feelings of inadequacies. But, despite what he claims as a meager background, Angus rises above his unusual upbringing to become a well mannered, dedicated and very respected administrator in the field of health care. Even the Harvard graduates could not measure up to this mere grade school dropout.
