"Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly's story is a reminder "of the
power of true grit, the patience needed to navigate unimaginable
obstacles, and the transcendence of love. Their arrival in the
world spotlight came under the worst of circumstances. On January
8, 2011, while meeting with her constituents in Tucson, Arizona,
Gabby was the victim of an assassination attempt that left six
people dead and thirteen wounded. Gabby was shot in the head;
doctors called her survival "miraculous."
As the nation grieved and sought to understand the attack, Gabby
remained in private, focused on her againstall- odds recovery.
Intimate, inspiring, and unforgettably moving, "Gabby "provides an
unflinching look at the overwhelming challenges of brain injury,
the painstaking process of learning to communicate again, and the
responsibilities that fall to a loving spouse who wants the best
possible treatment for his wife. Told in Mark's voice and from
Gabby's heart, the book also chronicles the lives that brought
these two extraordinary people together--their humor, their
ambitions, their sense of duty, their longdistance marriage, and
their desire for family.
A new, moving final chapter brings Gabby's story up to date,
including the state of her health and her announcement that she
would leave the House of Representatives.

Biopolitical Imperialism is a book about international politics
today. The core, eponymous thesis is that our world is marked by a
pattern of biopolitical parasitism, that is, the enhancement of the
life of wealthy populations of First World countries on the basis
of an active denigration of the lives of the poor mass of humanity.
The book details how this dynamic plays out both inside wealthy
countries and internationally.

A collection of comic poetry, song lyrics and short satirical
pieces.
"How Satan Fights" offers a unique military intelligence
analysis of how Satan and his demonic army will wage war against
mankind, using the same unclassified intelligence process that is
used by the US Army's military intelligence corps today. Author
Mark Kelly is a Christian who served as a tactical intelligence
officer for thirteen years; he now presents an investigation of the
war from biblical times through today, providing a deeper knowledge
of our enemy, Satan. He explains the combat strength of Satan's
demonic army, their arrangement on the battlefield, their political
and military command structure, their strengths and weaknesses, and
their mission on earth.
With analysis based on information found in the Holy Scriptures,
"How Satan Fights" considers what Satan intends to do with God if
he wins the war. Kelly reveals Satan's military doctrines and
explores how he has used these doctrines from the time of Adam to
the present day. More important, he demonstrates that Satan uses
the same tactics of yesterday against the faithful Christians of
today. Through this study, you can gain increased understanding of
the war that Satan waged against Jesus and the apostles.
This war is real, and it is being waged all around us. We must
understand our enemy and his tactics if we, through the Grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, are to defeat him.
