Is It Paranormal Experience... or Wishful Thinking? Molly has an extraordinary talent: she can manipulate everyday life with her writing "gift." Her short stories, her advice column for teens, and her work with abused women all become intertwined with hallucinations as she descends into pathological narcissism, while she remains fixated on the idea of having a child. By means of her "gift," Molly brings about the conception and birth of Clarissa, using as her tool the vulnerable teenager, Patty. Clarissa has a life-altering talent of her own: her drawings and pictures are prophetic and clairvoyant. Secluded together in a cabin in the Colorado Rockies, Molly and Clarissa collaborate with their "gifts," dabbling in magical ritual and alphabets, creating mythic tales, and playing tricks on ordinary people. But Clarissa doesn't belong to Molly-and someday Patty will grow up and claim her child...as will the shadowy figure of Clarissa's father, who remains a little-known and possibly dangerous figure. Insightful, thrilling, and fascinating, What My Words Do to You is a remarkable exploration of the ways in which people influence one another.

It's all right with me if you think yourself some kinda mystery; I'm just saying take it down the road. This book is all about you and those around you, though I know neither you nor those around you. How is that? We all do pretty much the same things, and so, most idiocies are so common they hardly seem idiotic until brought to our attention. I'm bringing you to your attention. I do it; you do it; they do it. Yes, everyone does little things that unless they're deliberately playing the fool, they're better off not doing, but they do, and often amusing or irritating the rest of us- including and especially you. This social satire consists of over a hundred narratives and anecdotes: faux pas that we encounter; participate and witness on a daily basis. Whereas social blunders aren't meant to make you laugh, this book is guaranteed to. In addition, nothing is more comical than being forced to laugh at yourself; you will see you here and you will laugh, perhaps never knowing before now: you are so amusing.

Chalked up as a case of sleepwalking, he is ushered back into bed by his widower father. But in the days that follow; Pete becomes convinced that his meeting with this mysterious entity was, in fact, all too real. Desperate to remember their conversation, he enlists the aid of his best friend, Doug McHenry, and the unwitting Alan Stevens in discovering the identity of his visitor and the purpose behind their encounter.

But there is a traitor in their midst; an evil as old as the universe that will stop at nothing to thwart their efforts.

Even if it means that one of them must make the ultimate sacrifice.

Woe for the land, the Evil at hand is distress- It is the governing, universal law of both spiritual forces, the Light or the Darkness, that if an innocent mortal fall prey of either side, a sanction from the Light or a pact from the Darkness can be offered to that victim bloodline. The chosen mortal will adorn unnatural powers and fight for the cause of Light or for the Darkness. The dark ages of torment, unyielding darkness, spiritual battles, and sacrificial deaths, crimson tears-the age of evil dominions has dissented upon humanity.

Many failed in some places and many are not worthy to take on such honors. Woe for the land, the evil at hand is distress-thus forth the presence darkness rapidly approaching.

James F. Vickery's poetry is a declaration that, however ordinary and average he was, non-invidiously that he's different, his heart may not be the same as others. His poetry is a contemporary blue-collar work scene, and it is about an experience actually undergone by the poetic voice that seeks to capture that quality of unpremeditation that is illusory in part. He hoped that even the reader will find a freshness here, a certain-dare he say it?-poetic unconventionality. His poetry is a culmination of his life - his devoted love for his wife and their dog, loss, his affection for nature, current events, and his mindset for battling a terminal illness.

Generally speaking, a book of sermons holds little value to the busy pastor. I have many such books in my library, yet few of these books hold any great insights. I present these sermons to be different from what you have seen before. Of the thousands of times I have preached, some were so different that they could not be of the same level, so I separated them over the years. I do not mean they were the most exciting to hear, I mean that they were the most profound as to the scripture of truth. I was often stunned by the truth that I had stumbled upon. I present them to you, hoping that you, too, can see what I saw and convey that truth to your hearers. The result will be a gasp from your congregation and a joy in your spirit that you had given something that your people would not soon forget. This collection of sermons are some of what I call the greatest I have ever preached out of 7500, these are the first 79 that made me stop and look again at what I had found. May you do so as well. You can add to them insights from your own experience and studies and make them yours. I would ask of you that use them this one thing: do not give me credit for having wrote them because in truth, I have received so much if not all I preach from those that I listened to and read over the years. I cannot remember all the names of those that I owe so much. In truth, maybe I did not receive one thing on my own. You must judge them for yourselves.

COLE IS BACK; AND DANGEROUS! It was initially intended to be a simple investigation. Austin was to look into the apparent accidental death of a young CIA intern. The investigation quickly turns treacherous. Austin Cole is forced to return to Langley, Virginia, and face a painful past from which he'd been running for years. His return and subsequent investigation breeds an atmosphere of suspicion and contempt but ultimately exposes several surprisingly deadly discoveries, any one of which could bring the entire security wing of the United States to its knees. A dangerous trail of deception, mistrust, and hidden agendas, combined with a series of covert Intelligence Agency operations, all carried out on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens, leads Austin directly to Langley and the CIA, the last place he wanted to be. When two of his closest friends become the latest targets of a mysterious enemy, Austin faces a technology he can't understand, few friends to count on and what seems like an entire army intent on killing him. Plunged into a desperate race against time, and an enigmatic adversary who is killing anyone associated with a three year old OP, Austin discovers his actions to save his friends may very well leave him with few options, even fewer allies, and his country's security at its most vulnerable. THERE WILL BE AFTERMATH
