"Destined to Make It" is the story about how this writer fought and overcame tremendous odds that would have sidelined many before the fight began. This book was birth through me because of my many life experiences that crippled me and had me bound for years. My drive and desire not to be held by my past propelled me forward. My desire is to reach women that are held by their past, and are afraid to let go of what has held them bound for years. I pray as you read my story that you will begin to take courage, move out of your situation and move forward. We cannot control what others do to us, but we can control how we handle the situation. Take control, and Remember, the battle is not yours but it's the Lords.

During the Silent Era, when most films dealt with dramatic or comedic takes on the ""boy meets girl, boy loses girl"" theme, there were also quite a few motion pictures that dared to tackle such topics as rejuvenation, revivication, mesmerism, the supernatural and the grotesque. A Daughter of the Gods (1916), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Magician (1926) and Seven Footprints to Satan (1929) were among the unusual and startling films containing story elements that went far beyond the realm of ""highly unlikely."" Using surviving documentation and their combined expertise, the authors offer their thoughts on these departures from the norm in this encyclopedic discussion on the American view of cinematic horror, science fiction and fantasy in the years between 1913 and 1929.

sent him on a quest.

Facing tragedy in her life, seventeen-year-old Rachel McDonald goes on a spiritual journey as Christ Jesus answers her questions. Rachel knows that God loves her, but she still is unclear about why bad things have happened to her, her sister, and her best friend. This narrative study explains God's love and compassion for Rachel and for everyone through the inspired Word of His Son, Christ Jesus.

"Jesus, I Don't Understand" describes God's endless love, mercy, and grace as Christ Jesus speaks to Rachel's heart as only a Father could. Rachel, a young Christian girl, attends a Bible study class every Wednesday with her best friend, Matthew Lacy. When a terrible accident occurs, however, it changes her faith in the goodness of God and His promises. All the things she learned in her Bible study classes begin to unravel for her. She feels alone and confused, and she has three important questions for Christ Jesus: Why do children die so young? Why do young people get sick? Are we really going to heaven when we die?

A father is a girl's first example of a relationship, and the way she sees him treat women will determine how she will let men treat her when she's older. When a girl knows that her father loves her and thinks she's the smartest, most beautiful girl in the world, she will not care what anyone else thinks of her. She won't easily fall for some boy's pick-up lines and will stick to her morals because she knows what true love and respect looks like.
