At age 59, author STEVE ROGERS has played golf for 48 of those
years. His love of the game inspired him to write this novel, told
by a narrator who has Alzheimer's disease. Lost in Love Grass shows
the author's lifetime love of the game and his keen observations of
human behavior. Having previously written two children's books, he
wanted to prove he could write a "big boy" book. Former football
star with the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots, Mark van
Eeghen wrote, "What an absolutely fun read! The story unfolded
beautifully and I'm thrilled Steve included me in the book. It's a
good thing he is a far better writer than a golfer!" "I enjoyed
each and every page of the book. It made me laugh out loud.The
writing is reminiscent of Jack Kerouac." - Ginny Walsh, retired
public school teacher, Worcester, Mass. "This is the ultimate 'golf
guy' book. It is sarcastic, pessimistic, bawdy, self-deprecating
and dark. There are lots of adjectives that fit into the
description. How about earthy, gritty, rough with all the divots
replaced." - Bob Black, visiting professor at Massachusetts
Maritime Author STEVE ROGERS has pledged 20 percent of the profi ts

Elaine, in Cape Cod, Mass., and Naples, Florida. They have two
sons, Tom and Tim, and three grandchildren; Lily, Charlie and
Ellie.
Menhaden steamers were double framed, heavily built offshore
fishing boats in use during much of the 20th century. As the name
implies, they were used to catch menhaden, a member of the herring
family used for bait, oil, and fertilizer. Powered by diesel or
steam hundreds of these boats fished the waters of the eastern
United States, from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. It was a huge
industry employing thousands of people working. During the World
Wars many menhaden steamers were pressed into service for the U.S.
Navy, searching for submarines among other duties. Today these
boats are gone, the plants mostly closed or torn down, and the men
retired, but this new book, by boat modeler Steve Rogers, captures
the memory of the boat, and allows the reader to recreate it in
1/2-inch scale, resulting in a 56-inch model. With clear drawings,
plans, and step-by-step illustrated instructions, the reader moves
from carving the hull master, through the authentic steps of
construction, to the final painting and rigging of the boat. The
result is a model that commemorates a bygone period of maritime
history and reflects traditional craftmanship by the proud builder.

"The one who reads this is blessed, and those who hear the words of
this prophecy and keep what is written in it are blessed, because
the time is near " --Revelation 1:3 (HCSB)
Respected Bible teacher and beloved pastor Adrian Rogers takes
readers on a breathtaking journey through the "blessing book" of
Revelation with "Unveiling the End Times in Our Time." Indeed,
Revelation offers every Christian believer a dramatic and
hope-filled overview of what the end of days will be like.
Although some think Revelation is confusing, or even scary, with
its talk of dragons and beasts, the text contains a proper
understanding of where his- tory is headed. Rogers makes clear how
the signs of the times already reveal God's plan for bringing his
people to full redemption, empowering us to live boldly while
expecting the return of King Jesus as the triumphant Lamb.
