In the year AD 1492, North American was already a populated wilderness, abundant in natural resources sought by foreign conquerors. They were known as explorers. Wealthy societies were already developed by educated Indian tribes with knowledge of navigation, weather patterns, and astronomical cycles.One of the most exciting explorers (Christopher Columbus) was a man that attributed his motivation to God and wrote about it in the Book of Prophecy. Secular historians distorted or deleted many of the astonishing insights disclosed in his journals. Kingdom Road Volume 1 unlocks the mystery of ancient maps used by Christopher Columbus to reach the shores of North America. His journey may have been an effort to rediscover long lost treasures collected by King Solomon.Spreading the kernels of rebellion, Christopher Columbus and a small band of travelers known as Conquistadors triggered an all-out rebellion that erupts across the world and the continent of North America. During the search for treasures, this book reveals an untold story of wars that raged across the continents, between indigenous tribes and an ancient race of beings called "giants" or "Nephilim."

This work is the second in a series of studies illuminating important, yet overlooked and forgotten Latino Civil Rights activists. Each study is unique and a standalone presentation of an individual and the times in which that individual lived. Each study is neither a biography nor monograph, but an introduction to that activist and the situations in which the individual was required to function.The reader may well be advised to view each work as an introduction to the life and times of the individual. Additionally, no person is an isolated life. Each of us is part of an interlocking association of friends, acquaintances, and unfortunately enemies as well. Thus, many other players interact with each of our main characters to some extent, great or small, and for good or evil. Some of these other players will tend to appear in their various roles in more than one of the works in this series, and more than one may become the main character in one of these works.This work has such juxtaposition with the first book in our proposed series. The first book focuses on the life of Bert Corona, a blacklisted Hispanic civil rights activist. In that book, a work focused primarily upon Bert Corona, another character appears in a discussion of the Sleepy Lagoon Murder Case. This financial wizard was Josefina Fierro, the main character in this study. Thus, various characters, both protagonists and antagonists, appear in these various roles, large and small, much as a series of books might have interlocking characters fulfilling major or minor roles as the series develops. However, these characters have the added worth of being real human beings living their lives in a period that brought about our own world of the present.Thus, this series of studies has as a main goal, to address these individuals and their activities with the available source material. If there is no other value to them, may the value of "Let every voice be heard" constitute the motivation for their existence. However, I believe that the overwhelming percentage of readers will find the material fascinating and informative. Additionally, I believe that the history presented is sound and served to expand the knowledge base of the lives and times examined. As always, I wish each one of you a smashing good read and intellectual illumination.Michael J. Lynch III, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History and Geography University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

Balaam's Donkey is a series of daily reflections based on the homilies preached by Cistercian monk Michael Casey over his fifty years of priesthood. What remained of the original homilies was a large box full of index cards with a few talking points on each. From there, Casey has re-created the homilies and recast them into short reflections, arranged randomly for every day of the year. The range of topics discussed is broad and the approach taken differs with each reflection, most of them colored with a touch of Casey's whimsy and good humor.

You may think, with this book's title, it's about being calm and cool in the face of pressure. It's actually quite the opposite and more literal. My body actually stopped sweating. This was one of a variety of unusual health issues I faced, partially or wholly brought on by stress. And I had to learn how to get my body to sweat again naturally as no pill or prescription was going to help me. My solution to this and other issues were going to come from within. With people becoming more aware about stress and its incredible health impacts, many of us have found that we can pay a hefty price if we ignore or don't acknowledge it. And I believe it frequently goes undiagnosed in the medical community. This book is about my journey, one I think many of you can relate to. This is not about what I've overcome. It's about what I've learned in the hope it can help others. In this book I will share you with my journey and the key lessons I've learned along the way.
