"Hardships create character in people like heat and pressure create diamonds in carbon." This book describes the extraordinary journey of transformation for Dr. Andrew Motes from a life of poverty in the backwoods of Arkansas to becoming one of the World's leading experts for laser technology-from studying by kerosene lamp to designing space-age technology.The author uses a story-telling style to describe his experiences as a sharecropper, trapper, grocery-store clerk, motorcycle mechanic, electronic technician, electronic engineer, military officer, computer software developer, space systems engineer or "rocket scientist", laboratory research scientist, laser physicist, college professor, civil servant, and defense contractor. His journey of transformation was also a journey of understanding-of himself and humanity. In his many roles he interacted with people at all social levels and learned that all of mankind suffers from one common affliction, regardless of social status.

In 1935, just five years after the great Bob Jones won his Grand Slam and retired from competition, a 20-year-old amateur golfer in a struggling family left Racine, Wisconsin for a $17-a-week shipping clerk job in Poughkeepsie, New York. Ray Billows brought with him a self-taught golf game from the caddie ranks, a gritty determination, and wondrous dreams of competing and succeeding at the highest level of American amateur golf. He brought little else. He arrived at the prestigious Winged Foot Golf Club for the 1935 New York State Amateur Championship in a dilapidated $7 Model T Ford convertible that he intended to sleep in, and without enough money for a caddie. He left with his first significant title and a nickname - The Cinderella Kid - which captured what he was and what he had accomplished. All of Ray Billows' dreams came true, except for one that would haunt him throughout his life.This book tells his story, a story that is sprinkled with thrilling golf, wonderful success, cruel disappointment, personal highlights, humorous anecdotes with Bob Jones, the Duke of Windsor and Babe Ruth, and a reputation as one of the finest gentlemen in the game. The book also provides a glimpse into American amateur golf during the period from 1930 to 1950. It contains 40 photographs.

Ray of Hope: Inspiration to Keep Moving Forward is a series of short stories taken from the author's own testimony. It will encourage God's people to keep moving forward in Christ, through the "process of preparation," in order to fulfill the uniquely devine purpose and calling for which God has created them.
Set in a dream-like European city reminiscent of Barcelona, along a boulevard teeming with artists who perform as living statues, comes the beautiful and frightening story of a man running from his past, a woman consumed by grief, and the forces that pursue them both. New to the city, Harry is drawn to the boulevard, and particularly to Solange, a silent, silver angel awash in Lucite tears and heartbreak. Haunted by his own mysterious tragedy but determined to woo her, Harry visits Almundo’s Store for Living Statues and begins his transformation into the golden “Knight of the Woeful Countenance.” A love story related in the dark, stylish noir of continental cinema and overlaid with a patina of surrealism, this is a novel where friends are also informers, street theater is the lifeblood of culture, and refuge can be found in the belly of a yellow, papier mâché submarine. As the lovers reckon with seers offering answers to insoluble questions, neighbors who take evening strolls with the dearly departed, critics who control more than artistic fate, and shoes determined to lead their wearers astray, they come to understand the price of survival and what it means to travel along the ray of the star. Called “one of the most talented young writers on the American scene today” by Paul Auster, Laird Hunt is the author of three previous, genre-bending novels: The Impossibly, The Exquisite, and Indiana, Indiana. A former press officer at the United Nations and current faculty member at the University of Denver, he lives in Boulder, Colorado.
