    This is the author's story written by tears. He is the center of this odyssey as a participant and an observer. It's a story about the loss of innocence, freedom, family, comfort, and family and about the good tradition of the Chinese culture that is slowly being lost. But it's also a story about gain and growth: gaining a few cultures and languages, new friends and trust, of experience and education, humility, of freedom, and regaining of self. Chi is not a hero in this narrative, just an ordinary man groping for meaning in his efforts to heal and help others.

    Paul wrote to Timothy concerning the dangers of the last days in which we live: "But understand this, that in the last days, dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]." Although darkness covers the earth and a mist of darkness is over the people, the Lord will rise upon His two witnesses, the two olive trees of Revelation 11 whose oil brings light for the Church to see by in these last days. The pressure from the world's system of witchcraft (Babylon) will crush God's two anointed ones, favorably emitting the golden oil to the nations of the world. The testimonies of these two end-time prophets will bear witness to the power of the gospel as they are given the grace to prevail over the things they suffer. They will bear the fruit of the kingdom (from the metaphorical tree of life), and their lives will produce evidence that God's power is with them to destroy the wicked (serpent) seed. They will be living proof of God's authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).

Both women had no idea he was with either of them over the years. In this story, Aalan becomes the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing. As he betrays everyone's trust.

    Why would anyone in the sunset of life attempt not one but two published books? In two words, strong motivation. Free My Son was published in 2020, the title reveals the first very strong motivation! The second, God Bless America, reveals one of the similar motivations. The title could have the subtitle Save the American Republic!This old author encourages young and old alike with motivation to tell your story and just give it a go, as our UK friends would say! In the first book, Almighty God has blessed both father and son in unique ways to make each day filled with purpose, for he is a God of purpose. In 2016, the author mistakenly described the Democrat Party (not Democratic) as a party of obstractionist. This is far short of Marxism with the silent coup of Hillary Clinton and the fake dossier on Donald Trump. Trump's telephone was tapped before, during, and after the 2016 election. With the insistence and investigations of Trump's followers, President Trump survived and the American Republic survived! Praise God!Why was Clinton not investigated? Politicization of the Justice department. After the rigged election of 2020, the forty-sixth president, Biden, quickly started to destroy the great achievements of Trump. Forty-five would have never withdrawn from Afghanistan in the disorderly way of the Biden administration!Forward to February 2022 and the Russian attack on its neighbor Ukraine. Why did Russian president do it? Quite possibly because of a decision by the Obama-Biden administration in 2014 did little to stop the Russian takeover of Ukrainian sea port of the Crimea.In summary, the author is most concerned about the military threat to Taiwan and the US and its allies! The people of Ukraine have received the respect of the free world (except China) for its bravery! In the near future, the interval threat to the American Republic of free speech and liberty is very high! Will disinformation be the focus of Democrats on its conservative opposition? Possibility is affirmative! Will the focus of Marxist Democrats be on the repeated narrative (propaganda) of its liberal press be a major focus? Probably yes.In any event, the author requests sincere and urgent prayer to Almighty God to save the American Republic now and until just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ! Please vote in every election in person and at the polls and assigned voting places. The Marxists do not truly want free and honest elections. President Jimmy Carter would want free and honest elections in the future! We have a responsibility to protect and preserve our two-and-a-half century American Republic!In any event, here's a message to all parents: Please encourage the need for spiritual Judeo-Christian values. These values are as important or more so, than experimenting with any illegal drugs for recreation. Why? Fentanyl is lethal many, many more times even on the first dose than legal or illegal drugs. For example, one dose of Fentanyl can kill instantly!Parents, love your children and take charge like never before! Thank you! Ps, please consider to fight against getting chipped! If you do not fight, we will have a nation of robots because of a possible loss of freedom and liberty. Embedding microchips in our pets has been on going in order to find them when lost.

    Based on realistic circumstances, situations, and life's vicissitudes that may be experienced between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four, Charles Green's indispensable fictional story gently displays life's lessons of a young man and how they ultimately serve as the pathway to triumph. Charles's soliloquy is from the perspective that continuous growth is a result of mistakes, evaluation, course correction, and moving forward with faith in God. We understand that our past mistakes are not a direct reflection of our future or what may be possible for us. With the right amount of focus, optimism, and consistency, your latter days can be better than your former. Matthew 19:26 records, "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." From inception to completion, each chapter enables the reader to identify with themselves: a son, a stepson, an adopted son, a nephew, a cousin, a brother, or a father that is searching for a path with less bruises. We come to find that each circumstance within this book is not a coincidence but a building block of self-evaluation, reflection, and becoming better. Some have said that self-evaluation is one of the most difficult tasks for a person, but without it, we bypass opportunities of becoming or acquiring the things of God. True growth is when there is an adamant critique for both sides of the coin. This captivating book welcomes fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, mentors, educators, coaches, spiritual leaders, or motivators to parenthetically park and consider life lessons as it may serve as a reminder that each young man has the opportunity to be great (Matthew 19:26).

    When Anastasia meets a stranger in a cafe on a lovely spring afternoon, their chemistry is instantaneous, and sparks fly. Beneath the surface of her unconventional beauty, however, she harbors the dark scars of a traumatic past which haunt her relentlessly. As their worlds collide, their lives become intertwined and their actions have unforeseen consequences. Set in picturesque sleepy small town, River Falls, where the action unfolds as the seasons change from spring to fall, four people's lives become fatefully interconnected in this simple yet moving saga of love, jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption.The collected essays explore two seminal artists of the Romantic nineteenth century.It is virtually impossible to imagine the world of opera without the captivating works of Giuseppe Verdi. Arguably the greatest operatic composer of all, after Mozart, Verdi's operas have endured the test of time, continuing to enjoy an almost unrivaled popularity in the repertoire. Visceral Passion and Sincerity in the Music of Giuseppe Verdi is an insightful exploration of Verdi the man, his legacy, and his unsurpassed ability in musical theater to paint the spectrum of human emotions with a vivid, dramatically cohesive palette which would revolutionize the operatic world.A beautiful society lady's adulterous affair with an army officer is the deceptively straightforward storyline which forms the backbone of a towering work of the literary canon, Anna Karenina. A probing essay, Anna Karenina: An Omniscient Exposition of Humanity, explores the world of its venerable creator, Lev Tolstoy, who belongs, along with Homer and Shakespeare, in the pantheon of the literary demigods. The essay explores the fascinatingly complex novel that Tolstoy creates through his memorable characters while simultaneously delving into the man behind the prose and his unparalleled contributions, not solely in fiction, but as a moralist and thinker.
