The one particular object in writing this book is to furnish you with an occasional laugh, and the writer with an occasional dollar. If you get the laugh you have your equivalent, and the writer has his. In Uncle Josh Weathersby you have a purely imaginary character, yet one true to life. A character chuck full of sunshine and rural simplicity. Take him as you find him, and in his experiences you will observe there is a bright side to everything.
So one girl, smiling away and surrounded by buddies of both sexes, stares at Josh. "Wouldn't the world be a better place without you? So like... Just kill yourself Why are you still alive?" Why was he still alive? Josh didn't have an easy answer to that question. His father died when he was young, and his mother was killing herself with alcohol. Life at school was no better. He was endlessly bullied. Teachers were endlessly disappointed with his performance. He sometimes thought about ending it all. But he didn't. He instead just chose to survive, day by day. Hiding in his room after school, playing video games, only leaving to grab food--or buy it himself. Josh was on his own in a world that did not care. Then Aia came along. A recent immigrant from Switzerland, everyone at school fell in love with her. Athletic, smart, impossibly pretty with long platinum-blonde hair, Aia Andersdotter was just too amazing to be real. More unbelievable still, Aia sat next to Josh in homeroom. His life was never the same again. Yet, just as he was beginning to get his life together, someone wanted to take Aia away. Forever.

Uncle Josh's Punkin centre stories presents a lively and comical glimpse into rural life and its humorous collision with the fast-paced world of the city. The collection captures the adventures of a kindhearted country storyteller whose experiences reveal the gap between simple hometown values and urban sophistication. Beginning with his arrival in New York, the tales unfold through witty observations and amusing encounters that highlight both the charm and bewilderment of an outsider in the metropolis. Each story blends exaggerated misunderstandings, rural expressions, and clever anecdotes that celebrate the authenticity and humor of small-town wisdom. Beneath the laughter lies a subtle reflection on cultural change and the innocence of those adapting to modern life, portraying the enduring appeal of rustic honesty against urban pretension. Filled with warmth, satire, and folksy humor, the book offers not only entertainment but also a nostalgic window into a period when storytelling bridged the distance between city and countryside through laughter and humanity.
"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Bible verse John 8:32, on a wall in the Lobby of the Central Intelligence Agency's Original Headquarters Building Eighteen months after the breathtaking conclusion of Half of Faith, Josh Morgan finds himself in the midst of another crisis, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Reason and thoughtful deliberation have given way to raw emotion at the highest level of the U.S. government, and "Operation Retribution" is underway. President Sandra Hendrickson and her Joint Chiefs of Staff have the United States military poised for reprisal against Russia for an attack on American soil, but was the Kremlin really responsible? Has the commander in chief's personal rage clouded her judgement? Events are swirling out of control as U.S. leaders rush the world headlong toward the long-feared Armageddon.With the two superpowers on the brink of war, the former CIA spy and a small circle of allies pit themselves against an administration hell-bent on payback. With the help of former President Trent Weston, CIA Director Elizabeth Parnell, and Russian Foreign Intelligence Agent Slava Proskurkin, Morgan puts his life on the line in a desperate search for answers, for a truth he hopes will bring an end to the conflict. But with SPIRITs, a Green Beret A-team, authorized to engage the enemy at discretion, time is running out. Even if Morgan succeeds, will it be enough to persuade the president and the Joint Chiefs to stand down? The White House's relentless rush to retribution makes unlikely alliances and individual sacrifice the only hope if sanity is to prevail. SPIRITs of Retribution, like Book One of the Josh Morgan Series, Half of Faith, is a warning of the perils of righteous indignation, and of the catastrophic consequences that await when presumed moral authority stands in the way of moral obligation. With a myriad of subplots driven by flawed, conflicted characters, SPIRITs of Retribution resumes Josh Morgan's escape from the demons of his past.

The Life of Jesus Like You've Never Imagined Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that still needs an answer today. With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes, award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology, philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus we've never seen before. This is a groundbreaking biography about the historical Jesus we don't usually think about: The child refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi whose real name wasn't Jesus. The political revolutionary whose brutal murder was secretly masterminded by a power-hungry mafia family. More than a fascinating biography, A God Named Josh seeks to illuminate Jesus of Nazareth from new perspectives, grounded in history, that will surprise Christians and atheists alike. "The same wonderful story, the same incredible Savior, the same good news... but written with such clarity that everything you thought you knew about Jesus will seem new and exciting."--STEVE BROWN, founder of Key Life and author of Laughter and Lament "Prepare yourself: Jesus is about to become thrillingly, subversively, dangerously, gloriously interesting again."--MARK BUCHANAN, author of God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul
