This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of belief in the divine. For centuries a leading source on the Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians, religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20 and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.

America: The Final Chapter provides a comprehensive examination of each American presidency from George Washington to Barack Obama while explaining how America evolved from a Republic to the Socialist crisis we face today.

Jessi Winchester, a politician who ran for the U.S. House of Representatives and the office of Nevada's Lieutenant Governor, believes that studying and learning from the past will help America and its leaders make wise decisions in the present day. She takes others full circle beginning with the nation's fight for independence from English oppression and ending with the tyranny America currently faces in its struggle to reclaim lost liberties and gain freedom from our own oppressive government. While examining our nation's journey through two centuries of problematic and deceptive government at all levels, Winchester speculates on the future of the United States.

Recent events and varying philosophies have divided our nation and, as a result, America faces an uncertain time not seen since Abraham Lincoln's administration. America: The Final Chapter helps shed light on how the United States overcame past challenges while encouraging citizens to stand strong for the principles that made this nation great in the first place.

We Americans are engaged in an ideological struggle to decide whether we will remain a nation committed to the principles of individual freedom and self reliance or be transformed into an European style of socialism. Westin believes too many Americans are either to busy or disinterested to take the time to study the issues and gather the information needed to make intelligent decisions. Instead they allow themselves to be influenced by the diatribe spewed by late night talk show hosts, TV and radio political pundits, biased politicians and other celebrities. Don't be fooled by the small size of I'm Not a Celebrity. It provides a mini encyclopedia of information behind the most important headline issues confronting our nation. It is packed between autobiographic bookends establishing Westin's credibility as a senior citizen and presenting his example of what it takes to achieve the American Dream. Westin reminds us that history teaches that the decline of free democratic societies begins with the deterioration of social morality. If America is to remain the leader of the free world, each of us, regardless of political, racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, must take it upon ourselves to live moral lives and challenge those who turn their backs on common decency. If we don't, the freedoms we have enjoyed will be lost. He hopes that by reading I'm Not a Celebrity, you will be moved to action.

Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior, and how they organize themselves has been praised for its originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded analyses.

My True story about Russian scams, on the web..

When Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, hit the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, few people could believe the horror and destruction that would unfold in the days that followed. As Communications Director for the City of New Orleans, Sally Forman went to work two days before the storm approached with no indication that she or the city were in harm's way. But within 72 hours, hurricane force winds were shattering windows throughout the downtown hotel where she had bunkered down with other members of the City Hall Executive Staff. The next ten days, chronicled here, became an unforgettable time in our nation's history. With almost 2,000 deaths, destruction covering four states and a million and a half people needing shelter, the world responded quickly and fiercely. Over 75 countries and 80 percent of Americans contributed to the relief of hurricane survivors and aid workers. Throughout the world, Katrina raised questions of humanity and exposed the vulnerabilities we still face as a nation. Through this personal and historical journal, Forman offers an insider's view of life in a disaster zone where communications and resources were practically non-existent. She also examines her own role and the role of other officials as wide-ranging disaster struck a major American city.
