The dramatic but little known battle at Milne Bay during WWII was a turning point of the South Pacific theatre...yet few people have heard of Milne Bay. In this amazing memoir of a WWII gunner, the turning points of his long life are intertwined with the story of his war years. The young man evolves from a head knocking, carousing, rabble rousing soldier to businessman millionaire, and finally to the gentle and faithful companion of his wife of 60 years who is afflicted with Alzheimers. Ultimately, Turning Points is a portrayal of character forged in war, chiseled by life's struggles, and then sanded smooth with an enduring love and faith. Kaseorg's books always ultimately portray the hand of God in the affairs of men. This is a riveting and hope-filled story of war, despair, struggle, and finally contentment in turning to what matters most in life.
A heart warming book based on a true story of an abandoned dog that finds her forever home...and is determined to keep it. Told simply from the dog's perspective, this story is certain to touch your heart towards the plight of animals in need of rescue. Complemented by Kaseorg's endearing illustrations, the story of the homeless dog builds towards a gentle and joyful conclusion.
At heart, this is a love story on multiple levels: love of a man for the woman he envisioned years before they met, for dangerous exciting work, and for the unique and mysterious wonders of past history. It is a tale of love toppled and then resurrected, told symbolically and literally through the true narrative of a near impossible rebuilding of fallen radio towers. A handsome, young tower engineer takes on the impossible task -- rebuild WWII-era, unique radio towers without blueprints. In recounting his work in the most dangerous job on earth, a tantalizing WWII mystery of an unusual rotating aircraft beacon is uncovered. Perched for decades atop a famous radio station, no one knows why it is there. Unsolved for seventy years, with scant records to pursue, it seems unlikely anyone will ever decipher the truth. Following whispering clues from a distant past, a little known history of aviation, WWII flight navigation, and the role of the iconic towers in our country's history unfolds. In the process, the shroud obscuring the origins and purpose of the mysterious beacon is lifted. Parts love story, history, mystery, and biography, this amazing story of faith, danger, and passion will have you cheering by its startling conclusion.
Finally, an authoritative manual with step by step instructions for the conscientious canines who want to train their humans properly. Every dog who is considering a human of his own, needs to read this book Without fail, Tommy's advice will produce a happy healthy and well-trained human. Even the spiritual development of your human is thoughtfully examined and considered. No dog should even think of trying to co-habit with a human before reading this book. Tommy, born blind and deaf, has an almost eerie grasp and understanding of human behavior. While this may be the funniest book you will read this year, it will also make you think seriously about how we treat each other, and our dogs.
In this charming, illustrated little manual about what it takes to be a good parent, both children and adults will find humor and a gentle philosophy. A beautiful message for all of us who long to be good parents, or were fortunate enough to have had them.
"Why am I here...and God, are you there?" God Drives a Tow Truck is a compilation of true stories about the author's quest to find God. In her voyage from atheist to believer, she gradually discovers that while God's face may not be clearly seen, the brush of His fingertips is often felt. In a personal treasure hunt for infinite value, the search for God in the everyday occurrences of life is humorously depicted in sometimes eerily strange situations. The stories unfold from seemingly commonplace events to miraculous conclusions. Most of us won't find God in a burning bush, like Moses did, but like the author, we may find Him in a burning house...or perhaps, even driving a tow truck.
I'm Listening With a Broken Ear is a true story about a dying dog, Honeybun, the author found on a roadside and grudgingly rescued. A concomitant story of faith, persistence, and love unfolds as both she and her young daughter struggled to help Honeybun overcome severe issues of compromised health, aggression and fear. Untrained to deal with the overwhelming behavior, Vicky then tried to give her up.... unsuccessfully. Refusing to relinquish her to Animal Control who would undoubtedly euthanize Honeybun, Vicky tripped upon a small rescue organization who offered to help rehabilitate Honeybun for free. During the many months of heartache and struggle, and multiple near deadly attacks on Vicky's other dog, she discovered a modern day parable of the truth that nothing is truly irredeemable. Each victory with the little rescue dog taught personal lessons in redemption and grace, patience and perseverance, and the power of transforming love to spread through a community in most unexpected and unlikely ways. There were multiple failures, and repeated surrenders to hopelessness.Each time, her weakness was thwarted and overcome by unexpected help and miracles. In the process, Vicky came face to snout with the harsh reality that real compassion involved action and responsibility. If she wanted to save the dog, ultimately it was up to her. It is a story of redemption, physically and spiritually in a very small corner of the world, told through the story of a discarded dog that no one wanted and no one thought could be saved
