What if the meek really did inherit the earth? "A fantastic story about the rights of a Native American tribe upon finding an extra-terrestrial element on their land, and how they went about defending those rights. A first-class legal story that was a brilliant and interesting read." "I really liked this book. It was thought provoking and a very powerful read. The story included science, technology, adventure and drama and was lyrical in its simplicity but it packed a big punch. The characters were spiritual and very genuine and made you wish that you new them, that they could be members of your own family. The message in this book was an important one and I wish everyone one would read this book I will be recommending it to many." "It's not often that one can find a story that engages the senses and refreshes the mind with originality and attention to detail. Part science -fiction, part historical, and part spiritual, author Jon D. Anthony takes us on a journey of hope intermingled with the sacred beliefs and customs of the Chippewa people. Well-crafted and enjoyable, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a change from cookie cutter plots and worn out themes." "All Indigenous Peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. flag"

I chose the name End-Time Prophecy Made Easy because my goal in writing this book was to simplify prophecy for the average layperson. Moreover, since Prophecy for Dummies was already taken and copy written, I had to choose something. If you are a biblical scholar or theological genius, this book is definitely not for you. However, if you are one of the millions of regular people who would just like to know more about end-time prophecy, this book will make things easier to understand and reduce it to the bare bones. It explains what the rapture is, where it is located in the Bible, and who it is directed toward. It explains the tribulation, judgment seat of Christ, wedding banquet of the Lamb, and millennium in nontechnical language. This book also distinguishes the differences between the nation of Israel, the church, and the rest of the world describing their parts in each event. It takes each end-time event and, besides describing what each event is, puts it on a timeline depicting the order of these events. Interestingly to most people, this book also points to the various places in the Bible where the United States is mentioned in prophecy. Although the United States was not a nation at the time the Bible was written, it gives a very extensive and widespread description of this country. This description fits the United States to a tee. It is so graphically expressive and vivid that as the description is given, every other nation on the face of the earth is eliminated. At the same time as the portrayal is depicted, the case for it pointing to the United States grows. It is obviously clear that the United States is this end-time nation the Bible portrays.
William Lightfoot Visscher(Visscher, William Lightfoot, 1842-1924)...William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was an American scout, bison hunter, and showman. He was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), but he lived for several years in his father's hometown in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, before the family returned to the Midwest and settled in the Kansas Territory.Buffalo Bill started working at the age of eleven, after his father's death, and became a rider for the Pony Express at age 14. During the American Civil War, he served the Union from 1863 to the end of the war in 1865. Later he served as a civilian scout for the US Army during the Indian Wars, receiving the Medal of Honor in 1872.One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill's legend began to spread when he was only twenty-three. Shortly thereafter he started performing in shows that displayed cowboy themes and episodes from the frontier and Indian Wars. He founded Buffalo Bill's Wild West in 1883, taking his large company on tours in the United States and, beginning in 1887, in Great Britain and continental Europe.Early life and education edit]Cody was born on February 26, 1846, on a farm just outside Le Claire, Iowa. His father, Isaac Cody, was born on September 5, 1811, in Toronto Township, Upper Canada, now part of Mississauga, Ontario, directly west of Toronto. Mary Ann Bonsell Laycock, Bill's mother, was born about 1817 in New Jersey, near Philadelphia. She moved to Cincinnati to teach school, and there she met and married Isaac. She was a descendant of Josiah Bunting, a Quaker who had settled in Pennsylvania. There is no evidence to indicate Buffalo Bill was raised as a Quaker. In 1847 the couple moved to Ontario, having their son baptized in 1847, as William Cody, at the Dixie Union Chapel in Peel County (present-day Peel Region, of which Mississauga is part), not far from the farm of his father's family. The chapel was built with Cody money, and the land was donated by Philip Cody of Toronto Township.They lived in Ontario for several years.In 1853, Isaac Cody sold his land in rural Scott County, Iowa, for $2000, and the family moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory. In the years before the Civil War, Kansas was overtaken by political and physical conflict over the slavery question. Isaac Cody was against slavery. He was invited to speak at Rively's store, a local trading post where pro-slavery men often held meetings. His antislavery speech so angered the crowd that they threatened to kill him if he didn't step down. A man jumped up and stabbed him twice with a Bowie knife. Rively, the store's owner, rushed Cody to get treatment, but he never fully recovered from his injuries.In Kansas, the family was frequently persecuted by pro-slavery supporters. Cody's father spent time away from home for his safety. His enemies learned of a planned visit to his family and plotted to kill him on the way. Bill, despite his youth and being ill at the time, rode 30 miles (48 km) to warn his father. Isaac Cody went to Cleveland, Ohio, to organize a group of thirty families to bring back to Kansas, in order to add to the antislavery population. During his return trip he caught a respiratory infection which, compounded by the lingering effects of his stabbing and complications from kidney disease, led to his death in April 1857.After his death, the family suffered financially. At age 11, Bill took a job with a freight carrier as a "boy extra". On horseback he would ride up and down the length of a wagon train and deliver messages between the drivers and workmen. Next he joined Johnston's Army as an unofficial member of the scouts assigned to guide the United States Army to Utah, to put down a rumored rebellion by the Mormon population of Salt Lake City.............
