This book describes a wide variety of speculations by many authors about the consequences for humanity of coming into contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The assumptions underlying those speculations are examined, and some conclusions are drawn. The book emphasizes the consequences of contact rather than the search, and takes account of popular views. As necessary background, the book also includes brief summaries of the history of thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence, searches for life and for signals, contrasting paradigms of how contact might take place, and the paradox that those paradigms allegedly create.

All of my books, and in particular Sixty Psychic Years, relate my concerns for Earth, its inhabitants and the creatures on it. Listening to the various scientific bodies located around our world, I contemplate their submissions of doom. The diversity of opinion seems, at times, contradictory, and yet as Earth reveals in her changing moods a threat to humanity's future, the majority of us continue to ignore her warning. There are two over-powering reasons that should influence us to pause and rethink the strategy to live our lives here. First is the transient aspect of it, second, our inevitable transition into the next world when it ends. 'Sixty Psychic Years' describes a life-time of psychic experiences I have witnessed both from seances, held by my mother; a practicing spiritual medium over that period, and many inexplicable events that have occurred throughout my life.

This is an autobiography of my life, in which I have shared different segments of time in order to reach out to those that may relate to my experiences. The idea of this book was heavy on my heart for a few years, due to the continued reports of sexual abuse that has been broadcast around our country. The reality that the total number of registered sex offenders in this nation has increased to staggering numbers, beckons for someone to try something to reverse this frightening trend. It is clear that a cycle of perversion has swept our country from generation to generation, harming many innocent victims along the way. It is my goal to create a tool that the Holy Spirit of God can use to change the wicked hearts of those caught in this cycle of perversion. My focus through this book is to share how I was freed from the bondage of sexual immorality. This book describes to the reader how the Lord Jesus worked in my heart and life. Using the wisdom of His Word to re-direct the choices I made on a daily basis. I was changed both mentally and spiritually and I have complete faith that the Lord can too change others overtaken in sexual immorality. This change is laid out in detail in hopes that those affected will learn from my mistakes in order to deter them from making the same mistakes.

Nothing like some good ghost stories on a cool Florida evening around a campfire (or at home in your favorite reading chair). And nothing like a swamp as a good, scary setting, especially Florida's famous ones--from the Everglades to Mosquito Lagoon. Mysterious things just happen in swamps. Maybe it's because they are often wet, shadowy places of wild beauty where few people go. Where else but a swamp can you find a ghost who is obsessed with the ghost orchid? Throw in a skunk ape or two and you've got the ingredients for many entertaining hours. In writing tales for this book, Doug Alderson drew upon many years of entertaining young people as a summer camp counselor and storyteller, and also from decades as a swamp explorer. He is a former associate editor of Florida Wildlife magazine. To learn more about his writing and photography, log onto his website at www.dougalderson.net.

Scarface ingeniously traces the origin of today's violence, bloodshed and wickedness, to the first bloodshed and murder on the face of the earth, back to Cain and Abel. It took a great flood that destroyed the wicked children of Cain; the children of Noah replenished the earth. Two of Noah's sons replenished the earth with pagan gentiles, godless and wicked evil children; their children were Canaanites and Cushites, they are known as the children of Scarface until this day. These gentiles with the help of the Jews crucified and shed the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High God. They persecuted the children of the Most High God and the church. Children killing their fathers and mothers, parents murdered and abused their children, brothers killing their sisters and brothers in the streets and in the homes. This book is in sequence to "My Little Garden of Eden" a place in time once abundant is now desolate and barren. Evil spiritual forces came out from the wilderness and arrived in the cities, it dwelled in the mind of evildoers, the wicked children of Scarface. Many unbelievers found refuge in the churches, they became sheep amongst wolves, but many were wolves disguised in sheep clothing. They carry a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, their lips speak enticing words that deceived many, but their hearts were full of poisonous venom. The children of Scarface lust for material wealth, money and young women, they prowled in darkness and take pride in violence and bloodshed. They roamed the streets at night seeking to devour the vulnerable poor and the weak. Am I my brother's keeper?
