"One who searches for what is not lost is a fool:" ! The book "THE LOST DUTCHMAN MINE and PEG LEG PETE MINE" may lead one to the forgoing conclusion in regards to the Lost Dutchman Mine.

However, the book is designed to allow the reader to answer the forgoing questions about fact or fiction about the Lost Dutchman Mine. In regards to the Peg Leg Pete Mine (a supposition essay) the reader is allowed to answer the question about factor fiction for themselves.This writer''s first journey into the past began when he wrote "THE EL MONTE PARK HISTORY" when he was working at El Monte Park (Lakeside, California). as a Park Ranger After, thirteen months of research and writing the completed work (THE EL MONTE PARK HISTORY) contained twelve pages.

In Conversational Preaching, we are given an in-depth investigation into how humans communicate and how understanding interpersonal communications skills can be of considerable value for those called to preach God's word."Dr. Sowards has made rather elegant use of the model of interpersonal communication as a device to explore preaching and communicating with congregants." - Dr. Dalton Kehoe, Senior Scholar, Communication Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada"Sowards' book advances the idea of conversational preaching beyond the merely metaphorical by applying practical insights from Interpersonal Communications Theory to the act of sermon crafting."- The Rev. Dr. Micah Jackson, Ph.D., Bishop John Elbridge Hines Associate Professor of Preaching and Director of Comprehensive Wellness, Seminary of the Southwest, in Austin, TexasThis book is for preachers and students of preaching who want to become better preachers and communicators. I have explored the theories of interpersonal communication and shown how preachers can benefit from such knowledge. I described the concept of noise as an impediment to communications and explored the topic with regard to politics, beliefs about the poor, past religious experiences and having an underdeveloped faith. I examined the concept of feedback and how effective feedback can be fodder for future sermons. I developed a model for conversational preaching using interpersonal communications theory and state that the ultimate goal of any sermon would be to facilitate a conversation with the hearers of a sermon and God.

This book is a 6 week thematic reflective prayer journal. It is written from a Christian perspective and arranged in a retreat format. Four interviews with religious highlight traditional prayer forms.

TouchstoneInspired by her husband's family, Linda Eatmon-Jones wrote Touchstone, a biography of a family that turned being the victims of one tragic KKK raid on their property into five generations of successful contributions to the world.

The true story of the trials and triumphs in the life of "Duke," as told by Duke. Duke (Plus One), the sequel to Just George, which many of you have enjoyed, allows Duke the opportunity to share some of his life experiences, some good, some not so good, some funny, some sad, and to tell his side of the story where George is concerned. Much like an only child, Duke struggles with accepting a rival into the family, and his feelings of frustration will sometimes tug at your heart strings. Like Just George, Duke (Plus One) will be enjoyed by every animal lover from school-age children to senior adults. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster ride as you read Duke's story...and it would be a good idea to have a box of tissues on hand. You just might need them.

Obstinate infantry captains in the Vietnam Mekong Delta. . . The upper Mekong Delta northwest of Saigon was strategically important to the innumerable Communist insurgents. This mostly swampy area was called The Plain of Reeds and was also the southernmost entrance of The Ho Chi Minh Trail into South Vietnam only about forty-five kilometers from Saigon. The local insurgents were experts of small unit warfare and would resort to any tactic to push the "American Devils" out of the way of North Vietnamese troops and supplies. These local Viet Cong units occasionally assisted large NVA units that attempted tactical forays into the 251h Division area of operation. The author presents these chapters with a perspective of realism that any veteran would surely agree with or at least appreciate. He believes that the "Wolfhound" units were militarily special during the Vietnam War and deserve recognition. The author has changed the names of the involved persons and altered the identities of organizations and places to protect privacy and to avoid misrepresenting histories and reputations. If any person should surmise any negative impression, it is hoped that he will understand that the author is striving for reader perception of character and storyline. These chapters are to honor the officers and soldiers of the 27th infantry Wolfhounds as a rumination of their operations in Vietnam. The author hopes that his lay readers will understand a little more about that terribly misunderstood chapter of America's continuing struggle to preserve the legacy of liberty earned by Americans and other freedom-loving people of the world.
