Most people see the world as it is meant to be, but a fortunate few see things a bit off-kilter. Ken Anderson is one of those lucky ones. Delectably offbeat, humorous, and tinged with just a touch of the absurd, "The Stifled Piper and Other Strange Characters" reflects his quirky views in verse.

Inspired by everyday life but magnified with a vivid imagination, Anderson's world is populated by memorable title characters, including: "The Stifled Piper," whose wife tamed his fearsome bagpipe playing with cotton and oatmeal; "The Frozen Skier," on a midwinter, cross-country ski vacation in Winthrop, Washington; and "The Caledonian Chopper," a demon terrorizing the roads astride his hellish motorbike.

You'll laugh, you'll scratch your head, and you'll look at your every day with a refreshingly light-hearted irreverence.

Journalist Ken Anderson analyzes claims made by historian Trevor Ravenscroft and others that the Holy Lance, which is said to have pierced the side of Jesus Christ, took center stage in Hitler's life and was the focal point of Hitler's ambitions to conquer the world. In addition to pointing out the flaws in this theory, Anderson questions the veracity of the biblical story of the lance. Was there some meaning behind the flight of Hitler deputy Rudolf Hess to Britain, Hitler's supposed extrasensory perception, his choice of the swastika as the Nazi symbol, the "superman" who haunted the Fuhrer, the use of Nostradamus in propaganda, the way Americans were taken in by the astrological propaganda war, and strange similarities between Hitler and Charlie Chaplin? Anderson offers rational explanations for these alleged strange events and powers, demonstrating that they cannot be attributed to Hitler.

Poet Ken Anderson continues to observe life's everyday events as if seen reflected in a funhouse mirror. In this, his second collection of poetry, Anderson presents a collection of humorous and whimsical poems that provide a playful take on life.

Employing a variety of rhyming techniques, "The Mouse in the Stout and Other Surprises" offers such oddities as a flock of alcoholic robins and the hazards of playing the cello and the French horn. It introduces charming ladies, including Barb, the babe from Bickleton; Kelly, the rail-splittin' wife; and the girls of Carbon County. It entertains with unconventional views of Grimm's Fairy Tales and the love life of the praying mantis.

The poems in this collection reflect Anderson's love of language, as in "Cities on the Sound." / She's called The Emerald City / and she rises from the bay, / Sittin' with her pinkie crooked / while sippin' Chardonnay; / The place that's named Seattle stands, / superior and aloof, / Looking down on other towns- / she thinks them quite uncouth. /

Accompanied by illustrations and with a keen sense of humor, "The Mouse in the Stout and Other Surprises" delights with its whimsical views of life.

Whether you're a brand-new Christian or a decades-long believer, today's issues can seem far removed from what the Bible addresses.

Its common-sense organization, travel-sized format, and lighthearted illustrations deliver an unintimidating Bible reference tool for any level of Bible reader. Where does the Bible have a word to speak regarding animal rights? Communication? Influence? Xenophobia? These contemporary words don't occur in the Bible, and yet the Bible certainly addresses them. This compact Scripture reference makes it possible to quickly find out where. This topical concordance is an A to Z Bible reference bursting with information yet compact enough for a pocket. Succinctly annotated references correspond to most Bible translations including the NKJV, KJV, and NIV.

You cannot understand China without meeting heroes like Samuel Lamb! In an age when secularism and materialism numb the human spirit, China's amazing Christians demonstrate the power of living faith. In 1950 China's Christians numbered about a million. Today, estimates range between 30 and 70 million! How did this body of believers grow so rapidly under atheism and materialism? Bold as a Lamb is the true story of Pastor Samuel Lamb. Imprisoned for more than twenty years for preaching the Gospel, he became the beloved secret pastor to hundreds of fellow inmates. After his release in 1978, he built a phenomenal "house church" congregation of more than a thousand. Soon, however, he became the special target of those determined to destroy the mushrooming house church movement in China. His church was closed and his ministry tools were confiscated. Yet this man remains undaunted, standing boldly -- and with spiritual grace, against fierce opposition. This is the fascinating, eye-opening account of one of China's best-known pastors, his dauntless congregation, and how they found joy and optimism in the face of relentless persecution.
