Flying home to New York I pictured my boxes of diaries being delivered, driven like a western covered wagon train slowly rolling across America. Back in hometown the collection of stories grew by searching for a church, new jobs, another dog and stumbling in and out of love.

January of 2002 after having major surgery I began reading 240 diaries and shaping events. Honoring God by illuminating my trials and blessings was my motive for writing. Telling the story of God's love became my objective. By 2007 I quit one part time job to carve out quality time as writing matured into a daily labor of love.

In March 2012 I discovered Westbow Press. Prayerfully putting my manuscript into the hands of their editor's, the hard work of rewriting progressed. My hope is to encourage those who think they know Jesus as Savior to be sure and obey Him as Lord. Lord willing many more will come to love Him.

Is God there? What is birth, and what is death? What is a soul? Is there life after death? The author explores these questions from the perspective of his own life, starting with his childhood in India, where he was abandoned by his mother and raised by his father and grandmother, to his mother's reentry into his life, to his relocation to the United States when he was 18 years old, and to his mother's unloving behavior which forced him to make his own way in America. Through the ups and downs of becoming an adult, marriage, and children, he asks and answers many questions that people have about life.

In this memoir, author Steve Grizzle recounts the story of his perfect life adventure as a preacher, a pilot, and a police officer--the three Ps of his life. He reveals the details of a life lived as an exciting journey, leading him from preaching in the pulpit to traveling the world as a pilot to serving as a police officer. As a man with a true need for speed, Grizzle's journey has been one of exciting and unforgettable events.

For example, he was almost killed by a pilot who flew Air Force One for a living. He met and worked for the great Sam Walton and encountered numerous celebrities over the course of his various careers. Over the years he has regaled his friends with the stories of his adventures in each of his three careers, who agreed that if they were able to trade places with anyone in the whole world, it would be him.

Sharing stories full of action, inspiration, and adventure, The 3 "P" Man presents a unique and intriguing memoir.

"Giving Birth to God" tells of one woman's journey through yoga ashrams and Sufi training to finding a mystical Christian school with Master Teachers. After 12 years of transformational training, Mother Clare was ordained a Priest, and four years later a Master Teacher. Mother Clare was married, raised four children, and was a practicing midwife and psychotherapist while receiving her mystical and esoteric training. Without being celibate, without going to India and joining a foreign religion, Mother Clare received complete spiritual training, including initiations and ordinations, in the midst of leading the full life of an American woman. Wonderfully moving stories give an in-depth rendering of the Inner Christian Path. Some accounts will induce laughter and some tears, while the stories of women giving birth and the transformations the author experienced as a midwife and mother will move hearts and open minds to the great reality of the spiritual world.

Mormonism Unveiled is John Doyle Lee's confessional expos of malpractices in the Mormon Church, including his own role as an assassin responsible for several murders. In chronicling his years as a member of the church, Lee discusses how he came to meet and associate with Joseph Smith: the founder and prophet of Mormonism. The processes by which the charismatic Smith drew in followers is catalogued. Personal habits, including the notorious practice of polygamy where he would take multiple wives, are mentioned. Lee himself partook enthusiastically in polygamy, taking a total of 19 wives and siring some 56 children. After Joseph Smith's death at the hands of an angry mob in 1844, Brigham Young assumed control of the Mormon Church. It was under Young that several of the most controversial schemes associated with Mormonism entailed. For his part John D. Lee became an enforcer, carrying out orders from Brigham Young in appropriating belongings of fellow Mormons, such as cattle from impoverished ranchers.

God can take the life of the most insignificant individual or a ministry in a small to moderate-size church and touch the lives of many people for eternity. This is the lesson at the heart of Pastor Bonds' message to the readers of Ain't That Something? Pastor Bonds is retired, having served more than forty-nine years of pastoral ministry in various churches in Nebraska and Texas. He grew up in humble circumstances that some would even call poor during the Great Depression in the 1930's. However, he never thought of himself or his family as being poor. He lived a simple childhood and a rather insignificant adolescence. He takes the reader on the journey of his life from before he was born to the end of his years of pastoral ministry.

Pastor Bonds has written his book to encourage those who feel that they are just ordinary and insignificant; not really able to be useful to God in any meaningful way. He wants to encourage the pastors of the thousands of small and moderate-size churches scattered throughout America to see themselves as successful. His message is that God will use anyone who trusts Him.

"We're going to storm the gates of heaven until God brings healing. He's going to give us our miracle."

The faith is sincere. The expectation is real. And sometimes God honors our prayers for healing. Sometimes, but not always. Instead of healing, God may choose to put us through grief. When loved ones die, even good Christians struggle to fathom the unfathomable. We count the months by the minute, waiting for the pain to go away. We harbor secret bitterness toward the one who has left us. We become angry toward our family for failing to understand us, angry toward God for ignoring our prayers, and angry toward ourselves for being angry. And all the while we ask, "Why did this have to happen?"

The answers are never easy.

In Faith, Hope, and Grief, Doug Knox recounts his struggle as he grappled with his wife Marie's cancer and premature death.

Broken vessels can be mended at the hand of a loving God. "Why Must I Cry?" seeks to touch the heart of anyone who has ever experienced abuse or knows someone who has experienced abuse. It offers hope that no matter how many trials, tribulations, and disappointments you've had, giving up is never an option. Author Kayla Johnson has opened her heart and shared her personal experiences to illustrate how to see past the pain and experience great joy. This inspirational memoir also includes the tools needed to fight back. It explains how to find the courage to stand even when your legs are weak and saying "no more" is a struggle. Sometimes it seems like life's decisions can't be reversed, that there's nothing to be done about past mistakes. "Why Must I Cry?" holds the key to the change waiting on the horizon-the ability to escape a hurtful past or escape from an abusive partner-to turn mourning into laughter. Children of God, it is time to fight back. The season of restoration is now. It's time to go boldly into the enemy's camp and take back the life and hope that has been stolen from you.

This compelling reconstruction of the life and thought of St Paul paints a vivid picture of the Roman world in which he preached his revolutionary message and explains the significance of his lasting impact on both the Church and the world. Regarded by many as the founder of Christianity, Paul of Tarsus is one of the most controversial and powerful figures in history. His writings have had an incalculable influence on Western culture and beyond, and his words continue to guide the lives of over two billion Christians across the world today. In this superbly detailed biography Tom Wright traces Paul's career from zealous persecutor of the fledgling Church, through his journeys as the world's greatest missionary theologian, to his likely death as a Christian martyr at the hands of Nero in the mid 60s CE. Drawing judiciously on the latest research into the Jewish, Greek and Roman worlds, and enriched by a wealth of critical insight into Paul's own writings, this is the most rounded portrait of the apostle ever painted - his development, motivations, spiritual struggles and intellectual achievements, and his lasting impact over two millennia.
