(Paradise to Prison is a commentary, textbook and complete...)
Paradise to Prison is a commentary, textbook and complete study guide to the book of Genesis. In very readable fashion the author explores the lives of the patriarchs as well as important doctrinal themes. Each chapter is carefully documented and sources from archaeology and ancient Near Eastern history are freely used. The writer's premise is that no other ancient literature surviving the ravages of time can rightly be compared to Genesis with its unsurpassed theological perspectives and vivid profiles of early man.

(In the near future, and the world wide prison population ...)
In the near future, and the world wide prison population is out of control. Six counties decide to take matters into their own hands and devise a unique concept to deal with worse of the worse and ease the prison overpopulation problem. They find an uninhabited island with beautiful blue cloudless skies, crystal clear waters, plush sandy white beaches and a large volcanic centerpiece. How bad could that be? Soon the first batch of prisoners are inserted for the rest of their natural life. Each country agree to oversee the prisoners with medical care and provide a naval reactionary force to thwart any escape attempts. Can the prisoners survive a special criminal justice system, their overseers, Mother Nature and themselves?

(This book begins with the author’s failure as a collegiat...)
This book begins with the author’s failure as a collegiate athlete while being on anabolic steroids. His addiction to performance-enhancing drugs surfaced again while he served in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz. His bitter homecoming to the small town of Wheatfield was short-lived and he moved to Sarasota Florida in search of wealth. While there his success was brief and involved a life of chasing elusive dreams filled with drugs and immorality. He soon lost his business and became indebted to a loan shark that threatened his very life. In a desperate act for money the author commits a robbery with a knife and ends up spending the next year behind bars. While behind bars the author is an eyewitness to a miraculous power that changed his life forever. Apart from his life story the book brings to light evidence supporting this miraculous power. The author also gives a deep insight into some of mankind’s greatest questions concerning life and death.

(Great War broke out in Europe more than six years ago we ...)
Great War broke out in Europe more than six years ago we promised our patrons that we would present to them a volume containing the story of the contest. At that time no one foresaw the duration, the intensity, or the extent of the conflict and certainly no one dreamed that almost the whole world would become involved. Quite evidently no single volume can describe adequately such a struggle of nations. Therefore the history which we now offer is more than three times the length of the narrative planned six years ago. The delay in publication has been unavoidable. We were unwil Hng to offer our readers a hasty sketch made up from newspaper accounts which,, however interesting, could have neither the accuracy nor the balance of true history. Such a course would have been entirely contrary to our po Hcy and out of harmony with the other volumes of our great Book of History, which this History of the Worlds Greatest War now adequately completes. Though our editorial staff collected, studied, and filed all the accounts, reports and documents as they appeared, actual writing was not begun until long after the Armistice was signed. Only when the end of the war brought to light hundreds of secret documents, when the final reports of the mihtary and naval officers were pub Ushed, and the leaders, civil and mihtary, of all the nations began writing to explain, to justify or to excuse their actions, did it become possible to prepare a history of permanent value. The contributors to the history form an unusual group drawn from Europe, Canada, and the United States. Some were distinguished participants in the mihtary or naval actions; others held high positions as civihans, while still others are able students and writers of history. Their contributions, moreover, are not a series of unrelated essays as so often happens in works by a number of authors.
