This book is the diary of an Egyptian soldier of Armenian descent who served the Egyptian Army during the critical years 1968 through 1972, when Egypt was making preparations for the 1973 war with Israel. The book relates the details of his compulsory draft, his various unforgettable experiences, and after serving more than four years with no end in sight, his daring escape from the Army and the country.

The story is the Author's first-hand description of daily life in the Egyptian Army, his trials and tribulations with a variety of circumstances and characters and close calls with Israeli planes at the Suez Canal.

Finally it relates the nail-biting journey the Author took to freedom, to safely arrive, with God's merciful intervention, in the Promised Land, America.

Storm Clouds Gathering ...

In contrast to these busy first few weeks of establishing back-to-school routines, as well as the uncertainty of medical tests for Kjrsten, I reflected back on the quiet respite we'd had over the past summer.

One of our favorite summer activities was to sit on the long, covered front porch of our home and watch the storms as they rolled in from the west across Clear Creek. We'd listen for the thunder and see the lightning striking at the bottom of the hill as the storm climbed upward and through the cornfield to the edge of our yard. We were relieved as it rumbled noisily over the top of our house without leaving any damage as it continued its steady march to the east.

Little did we know what kind of storm was brewing for our perfect little family.

A passionate woman, Annabelle who always wanted to be on top and will do everything without hesitations to make life to the fullest, had lived in a challenging life and ends up with an empty heart. She searched and worked so hard to find the truth. Regina, an ambitious strong woman who later well loved but life became miserable. She struggled and had crossed many roads to get away from agony. Fulfilling her dreams in the ocean of obstacles did not prevent her from doing the hard way. Women of substance that lived in different world, searching for happiness, love and devotion but heartaches were always a part of it. Together with their old fashioned father that died in pain and a supportive gentle mother, who became a victim of a troubled love characterized by family disunity.
An inspiring and enlightening story of family values, the hard times and the good times, interesting facts about heritage, and social status. Seeking happiness on simple and adventurous lives were among other interesting things. It is a story of romance, humorous memories and great drama.

"Mind Bungee Jumping went through several titles before I settled on this one. The title seems to fit what I was trying to accomplish by writing this book. I am told that when you are bungee jumping you are filled with anxiety, exhilaration, you get a rush and your adrenalin starts pumping. It feels as if you are jumping into the unknown, yet you are attached to reality. The rope or material that keeps you from falling, also springs you back to reality and ensures that your feet will eventually touch the ground. However, the feeling of weightlessness, flying though the air, having no worries and seeing the world from high above are the same feelings I get from writing. Material included in this book sends the message that your imagination is the one thing of beauty that you can make individually yours and you can touch the rainbow.

This is a poetry book filled with inspirational messages that came about as the author Phyllis Butler was trying to overcome her doubts about life, self, love and relationships. Writing poems helped her to gradually heal and change her focus from herself to helping others by sending a message.

This book is a biblical approach to the recovery from obsessions. The obsessions can be as minor as fishing too often or as major as full blown addictions to drugs. The point is that Jesus Christ gave us guidelines on how to moderate and on how to be healed when necessary from these obsessions. The outline from Matthew in the New Testament is where Jesus teaches us the format for recovery. It is why he starts with being "poor in spirit" and ends in being persecuted for your beliefs. This simple outline from Matthew 5: 1-12 is where basically all recovery programs have their origin, and I have included in the back of the book a chapter titled "The beatitudes and their correlation to the twelve steps." It is the premise of this work to bring clarity to the truth that has always been in God's Word. It is a work that reads well and was a pleasant task to write. I hope you will enjoy as well as benefit from its pages. Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this brief edit. Dennis Wright

Ephesians tells us what God has given to us by grace, because of His own devotion toward His family, to involve us in His glory. Unlike the other epistles, Ephesians does not chide the Church for anything. It is concerned with informing us about the richness of eternal life and inheritance that has been bestowed on us by the generosity of God. Ephesians gives us a unique look at the heart of God and how marvelously He has set it up for us in His family and His Kingdom to share in His wisdom, His power, and His love because that is what He wanted to do. We have not deserved it and we have not invoked it by our actions or our faith. God has done it all because it pleased Him to do it. We are accepted in the beloved family of God because He has made us to be accepted. Ephesians proceeds to tell us what this language means in terms of our lives and relationship to God now. The magnitude of this grace and glory is staggering:

"Rise up, O men of God Have done with lesser things. Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings."
