Turning Point It's a new day in America: The United States' new
Democratic president combats hostile political opponents and
right-wing media while tackling the challenges of terrorism, global
warming and a financial crisis. In the midst of the fray of a
charged first term, the president's liberal daughter, Karen, falls
for a decorated Air Force pilot turned Secret Service agent, Capt.
John Rawhide Cunningham who, as the grandson of a conservative,
swing-vote Supreme Court justice, stands at the opposite end of a
vast, ideological chasm. Inspired by his work in the real-life
presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, author Charles A.
Santangelo weaves a tale of love and political intrigue that speaks
to the very core of American values and the integrity of the
political process. Told through a progressive ideological
perspective, Turning Point makes a compelling case that a scant few
with strong values and a willingness to place the nation s interest
above their own can change the course of history. The
political/historical thriller blends the action of a Tom Clancy
tale with sharp political storytelling and a measure of romance.
The "Serendipity of Marriage" is based on biblical scripture
teaching. Winters as a minister have been consoling men, women, and
couples for over twenty years discussing their difference in the
behavior of the opposite gender. To help them better understand
their role in their relationship, Winters would direct them to
scripture, where they are able to feel their role within their
relationship. Marriage is a sacred union before God, it does not
matter how difficult your relationship is, with your husband or
wife, because if you first have that relationship between you and
God, then your relationship between your husband or wife will be a
benefactor of your relationship with God. We should not go into
marriage, because of money or other material wants, but it should
be based on "LOVE" and only "LOVE," everything else that you
receive after marriage would be a blessing from God.

course in the midst of a brutal war and sacrifice everything to

The predictions from the oracle at Delphi were known to be the
most accurate in the ancient world. When King Croesus of Lydia
sought the best oracular reading, he tested eight oracle sites and
found the oracle at Delphi, the Pythia--goddess and priestess to
Apollo--predicted the correct answer he sought. Through a series of
visits to the oracle at Delphi, each with a different set of
questions, King Croesus decided to wage war upon the Persians and
Cyrus after an oracle said, "A great empire would be lost if he
waged war against the Persians." Fate and destiny of King Croesus
was predicted four generations prior from the oracle at Delphi.
After spending too many days in the oracle chamber, one of the
oracles collapsed and died from inhaling the toxic fumes.
Caroline Porter was a beautiful young woman who lived in an
average town during the early 1880s. Her life, on the other hand,
was anything but ordinary.
Over one hundred years later, Kathleen Robertson is a successful
bank executive whose life gets turned upside down when a handsome
stranger gives her Caroline's antique journal to read.
From the first page, the journal comes alive as Kathleen finds
herself enraptured with the details of Caroline Porter's life. She
reads about Caroline's courtship with a cold-hearted man; the
strong, undeniable pull she feels toward his younger brother; and
her unintentional involvement in a murder mystery. As she reads,
Kathleen's belief that unexpected miracles can happen when you
follow the Lord's leading is reaffirmed.
Come along as the lives of these two strong Christian women
intertwine. For Kathleen, life will never be the same.
