But suddenly their plans are interrupted—by the sound of gunshots. The girls’ senses become heightened when they hear a scream and see someone gunned down in cold blood.

Meanwhile Sheriff Phillip Chandler of Jefferson County, Montana, is working alongside law enforcement officials in neighboring Madison County when his deputy Pete Dolan is found murdered on a trail near Lake Louise. Devastated by the news, Phillip’s mind is exhausted trying to make sense of it all. Who would want to kill Pete, a kind man with no enemies? What exactly did the girls see that day? And more importantly—who?

Henri L. Chase author of "Sorted Into Time Order"

The book is the story of my life, from 1947 until 2025. It details my education, military, and time as a high school teacher. Moreover, it is reflectives, introspective, and as truthful as an autobiography can be. Specifically, I address my foibles, excuses, and rationalizations, while being careful not to make it appear as if I'm fishing for compliments.

The format of the book is unique, in that I tell the story in art, poetry, and prose. Furthermore, every drawing and word of the story comes from my hand, and covers the second half of the 20th century, and the first quarter of the 21st century. It is perhaps interesting because it is a raw account of a baby boomer, negotiating the schools, military, and social systems of the time.

Leonard A. Rich, author of "Lessons From My Coach"

Throughout his life, Leonard A. Rich has been surrounded by football coach mentors, his own father being the very first. Throughout grade school and into high school, each coach made an impact on the man he would later become. However, at Westminster College, he met Coach B. Eugene Nicholson, a coach who would change the trajectory of Leonard’s life.

When Coach passed away in 2019, Leonard, inspired by the life he lived and the lessons he taught, compiled Coach’s history, teachings, and impact he made. Lessons from My Coach is more than an account of one man's influence on another's life. It is a testimony to the influence that a coach, a mentor, a teacher, a role model might have on another's personal character and life trajectories.

Shelley Sams author of  "Letters to Katherine"

Letters to Katherine begins with author Shelley Sams’s tumultuous childhood in Kansas. She struggled to know what “normal” was while living in a home that defined the term “dysfunctional.” Her earliest recollections are not where her life began; she was adopted. The family that took her in at one year of age had already adopted a boy four years her senior, who was a budding serial killer. His genius IQ, combined with the countless red flags that were overlooked by their parents, left them all in peril. 

In the search for safety and connection, and with an alcoholic father and a bitter, depressed, and emotionally absent mother, Sams sought escape. Part of that escape came in the form of letters to her great aunt, Katherine.

Shari Harris, author of "Christship"

We aren’t told the truth about UFOs. Not all spacecraft you see in the sky are UFOs, but are Christships. Christship has been used to travel back in time to change history to fit the needs of certain groups of people. Those groups of people will use evil to get their way and control people who are not like them. The only thing standing between us and them is God.

We can’t change the past, but we could change the future with the right people. We will stand with God and save the world from the evil we see. 

Douglas Warfield author of  "Hearing the Voice of God"

If a person was to reflect on their past life they would remember receiving instructions, advice, and guidance from many different sources such as family, friends, kids, teachers, professors, sports analysts, preachers, evangelists, bishops, and the list goes on and on. Yet are we hearing from the One who has all the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that we will ever need? Do we hear from the One that can supply the answers that we need for every area of our lives? Are we looking to daily hear the voice of God?

There are over 4,000 different religions in the world today, having billions upon billions of congregants from around the world. People from many different ethnic backgrounds attend these religious gatherings to sing, pray, and hear the scripture readings, but are they also hearing the voice of God?
