Four troubled teens, two worlds, one God, one goal: to defeat the Darkness before it's too late. When David, his twin sister Alicia and their two best friends, Jake and Hannah stumble through a portal and into another world, Paragon, they discover that they are not who they thought they were... they are descendants of an ancient race known as Starcrafters, and they've been endowed with God-given abilities - impossible abilities. They train and learn to harness their abilities. Now, they are ready to take on the Dark Prince. Their attack on the prince is interrupted when they are taken by a group known as the Renegades who are after universal domination by means of an artifact known as the Paradox Stone.

Rational Polemics: Tackling the Ethical Dilemmas of LifeThere's a whole host of beliefs that most people simply repeat without question. They are chanted so often as to have nearly lost all meaning, and are rarely challenged. Rational Polemics dares to expose the contradictions that are rife in many of these blindly accepted beliefs. The book endeavors to question all things - to expose the folly and hypocrisy of universally held beliefs, including accepted religious dogma. It is geared toward open-minded readers with the courage to challenge convention and political correctness to consider alternative viewpoints. Rational Polemics by Richard Devens presents a provocative, controversial, outrageous challenge to the ideas and values that most of the world merely accepts "on faith - ideas that, upon closer examination, make little sense."I wrote this book to encourage people not to blindly accept what others believe just because it is 'politically correct' to do so, or just because the majority does," Devens says. "I encourage people to think for themselves, and to live by the courage of their convictions. I encourage people to have the integrity of living by their own moral code if, by rational thought and reflection, they are convinced they are right."Told through personal anecdotes, with tongue-in-cheek humor and refreshing candor, Rational Polemics is a breath of fresh air to anyone ready to consider the true nature of evil, the hypocrisies inherent in religion and other prickly debates. Rational Polemics opens readers' minds to new ideas about deep and often difficult topics, sans the sugarcoating.

What Are the Underlying Causes of HistoryIn this compelling work, Dr. Ali Parsa examines the universal human questions of why things happen, and what causes historical events to take place. In our everyday lives, we try to discern relationships among many different and seemingly unrelated events, in the hope of predicting what will happen. Historians do this as well, in looking back along the arc of history. Many people read historians' works and accept them as fact. But historians' writing often reveals far more about the historian himself, his time, and his culture, than about "facts" or "truth."Dr. Parsa shows us how different historians interpreted exactly the same events, but assigned different causes to those events. This masterful revelation of the hidden agenda of history opens the reader's eyes to the subtle ways in which historians influence what succeeding generations know and accept as the truth, and shows us how history is close kin to philosophy. Rich with depth and breadth of concept and knowledge, this book provides invaluable perspective on what history is...and why it is important to understand the minds of historians.

From 1945 until 1962 the life-shaping experiences and surrounding conditions of one World War II orphan as he develops into manhood serve as poignant reminders for all of us of what was good, bad, and ugly about those times. In this recantation, readers may find an occasional suggestion for some of the cultural, moral, or social problems plaguing a troubled country of apathetic oldsters, confused Baby Boomers, and educated Generation X-ers. Some may, through the eyes of a little white war-orphan, experience the personal turmoil generated as an oppressed and subdued "Negro" culture rose to claim its rightful place in our society. Some may even catch glimpses of Arkansas politics and how it affected the lives of the people in these stories. These are my stories and the way I have relived them for you. And those who have read them strangely feel a compulsion to share their own stories and to write them for their own family and friends. To write about your own life is to live it again and this time with much more relish than before. It is truly a miracle that we survived our youth using today's standards. But survive we did and many of us even thrived either because of what life threw in our paths...or in spite of the circumstances and challenges we faced.

This book not only put us on a cross country road trip with all the planned, occurred and unexpected experiences, but it puts us back in time to 1969.

When Freedom Turned Green reads as a story but is realistic enough to be used as survival guide. In the world we live in now with the unstable economy the big question people are asking is, what would I do if...? When Freedom Turned Green paints a picture of one fictional, yet plausible outcome to this question. Out of the ashes of total economic and social collapse comes a new era, built on ideas and dreams of a better world, but at what point does the quest for a better tomorrow, turn into a battle of blurred moral boundaries. When Freedom Turned Green, is a story of how the road to a better future is sometimes paved atop the graves of those that can be sacrificed. The economy may be ruined but this new world still comes at a price, our freedom. The new President, Alexander Bareston Lynch convinces the people to abandon what he believes is the flawed system set up by America's founding fathers. He promises a new society where people will no longer kill the earth, or to allow religious terrorists to spread hate. It would be a world where money would no longer rule. Jane, 17, learns firsthand how fragile our lives can be, and how easily changed when the world she knows comes crashing down and the new world comes at a high cost. Jane lives in a small town of 300 people in the rugged mountains of northern California, and through her and her family's fight for survival she discovers the preciousness of love and the painful depths of loss. Through it all she learns the importance of a small but powerful thing called hope, and finds strength that can only come when there is no other choice.

Imaginary Flatulence is the first collection by Ethan S. Edgerly. This four part collection ranges from the emotionally compelling in "Tacos" to the downright strange in the stories of "Diarrhea of the Mind." We get a taste of poetry in "Mental Excrement" and a short scholastic paper in "Intellectual Stool Sample." In this collection, Edgerly shows a range few authors are willing to tackle. And he does so with a combination of wit and sincerity rarely seen together. In "Tacos: A Novella," we follow an author by the name of Ethan Thomas as he researches a new book. The subject of his new book is an ordinary man named Davis Paulson. Through Ethan's research, we meet Davis, his friends, and his family. And we follow his story through to an emotional conclusion. In "Diarrhea of the Mind," we are treated to a collection of short stories. These stories include the tale of a family hike ("The Hike"), a man struggling with questionable feelings ("Shame?"), and others with darker undertones, such as "Liet," "Incident on the Roadway," and "Arryn." "Mental Excrement" gives us Edgerly's first forays into poetry, with varying moods. He ponders in "I Often Sit and Wonder" and "Am I Dreaming." He pines in "I Love You, My Dear." And he reaches that rare junction of humor and verse in "A Bachelor's Morn." "Intellectual Stool Sample" is the final section of the collection. This section holds one paper written by Edgerly while a student at University. This paper offers a brief insight into his mind by discussing his feelings on friendship, and, in a way, his unique personality, in "Friends."

THINK-LEAP-REGRET..."The grass over there wasn't so green after all!" Having a significant other will bring on both good and bad days. Some days will feel like there is death and decay in the atmosphere. Other days will feel like new life, green and prosperity everywhere. But in some relationships, the bad outnumbers the good and the weaker mate decides not to stick around for the long haul. He/she steps over the line and seeks fulfillment from an outside party. (I don't understand why she decided to tell me at that particular moment. Maybe the guilt overwhelmed her. "I have to tell you something. I can't keep this in any longer," she said. I kept silent and listened. She got straight to the point. "I've been sleeping with this guy." A chill ran through my body as I slammed on the brakes. I don't think I need to explain what I was feeling after hearing that. But I had to make sure I heard her correctly. "What?" I asked. "I've been sleeping with him," she said. My blood, and I'm guessing every other fluid in my body, began to boil after confirming what she had just told me. Then there was a slight moment of silence. Then I exploded! "How could you do this to me?" I yelled as I pounded the dashboard. We had stopped right in the middle of a busy roadway. "You said you wouldn't do that! You said you'll never go that far! How could you do this to me and your children?") Let's face it! Most of the time when we hear news of someone cheating on their spouse or mate, the culprit or cheater is typically a male. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that is the case at least 60% of the time. We see it in the media and in everyday life all the time. But in some cases, things get twisted all around and the woman becomes the culprit. She steps out and cheats on her husband, as was the case with me and my wife. The burden that was placed on me was almost too difficult to bear. (Boy was I weak! Both mentally and physically! Most of the mental damage was pretty much done within t
