Internet daters freely give information to dating websites seeking a fulfilling relationship-the perfect match, but what if this information was being used for a different kind of match? Tripp Jason Michaels, CEO of A. E. Research, has created a website that profiles people to do tasks in which the government does not want to be seen involved. Rachel Gilbert and Caleb Prescott are brought together through this website and find themselves faced with the task of exposing a faith healer who is trafficking drugs. Mysteriously, the faith healer is murdered and Rachel and Caleb are wanted by the police as suspects. To save themselves, they are forced to unravel the mystery of Rachel's sister's murder, which happened ten years ago. What they find reveals how their pasts have been exploited by Michaels and only the truth will save them now.

In the Wake of the Surge is a gripping first-person narrative that tells the story of the Kurds, the Arabs, and the Americans in Iraq during one of the most violent and wrenching periods in that country's history. Award-winning foreign correspondent Michael J. Totten visited Iraq seven times between 2005 and 2009, first as a "unilateral" freelance journalist without a gun in the Kurdish autonomous region, and then as an embedded reporter with the U.S. Army and Marine Corps in Baghdad, Sadr City, Ramadi, and Fallujah. He was there at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of General David Petraeus' "surge" of combat troops to Iraq and saw first-hand how young men from places like Florida and Texas pacified a relentless insurgency-an insurgency that most people, during the darkest days of the war, assumed would be victorious. In the Wake of the Surge is a bracing story of war in a tormented country by a writer who has spent enough time in the Middle East to know there are few happy endings, but who nevertheless was a witness when Iraqis and Americans drove each other to the brink of the abyss before managing, against all odds and at the very last second, to pull back and save themselves from utter catastrophe. Praise for Michael J. Totten "I think of only a certain number of people as having risen to the intellectual and journalistic challenges of the last few years, and Michael J. Totten is one of them." - Paul Berman, author of Terror and Liberalism "Michael J. Totten...practices journalism in the tradition of Orwell: morally imaginative, partisan in the best sense of the word, and delivered in crackling, rapid-fire prose befitting the violent realities it depicts. An unabashed classical liberal, Totten brings his political commitments and emotional intelligence to bear on the dramatic events he witnesses. As a result, he ends up far more clearsighted than the many analysts who claim 'objectivity' but share neither his love of the region and its inhabitants nor his concern for its future." - Sohrab Ahmari, Commentary "Michael J. Totten is a one of a rare breed. Moving from front to front, he brings experience and context and the willingness to go where few men dare." - Michael Yon, author of Moment of Truth in Iraq "Michael J. Totten, to my mind, is one of the world's most acute observers of Middle East politics. He is also an absolutely fearless reporter, both physically-he has explored the darkest corners of Middle East extremism-and morally." - Jeffrey Goldberg, author of Prisoners: A Story of Friendship and Terror Praise for The Road to Fatima Gate "A terrific book about a terrifying and beautiful part of the world." - Benjamin Kerstein, Jewish Ideas Daily columnist "It is extremely rare to read such an accurate account of anything to which one was oneself a witness." - Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great "A thriller in which a daredevil reporter puts himself in harm's way in search of the inside story of some of the most dangerous outfits in the world." - Amir Taheri, Asharq al-Awsat "Outstanding...it grabbed me so quickly that I ended up lost in it." - Claire Berlinski, Ricochet

It's Time: Challenges to the Doctrine of the Faith
Michael J. Morwood
Kelmor Publishing

It's Time. Challenges to the Doctrine of the Faith by Michael Morwood. Christianity, along with other major religions, has to make sense of its major beliefs in light of contemporary knowledge about the universe and our place in it. This calls for a major overhaul in how we understand "God," how we interpret Jesus as revealing the Divine Presence in human form, and what this means for worship and prayer. This contemporary "story" is radically different from the traditional Christian story about an elsewhere, heavenly God who disconnected from humanity

At the center of all things, a fire burns brightly. This fire is where we gather with our friends and family, where we offer hospitality to strangers, and where we make sacrifice to the Kindreds. No matter where it is kindled, the fire draws us together, as a good guest might draw together the family who hosts him at their hearth. This hearth upon which we kindle this fire becomes the center of the cosmos, and the heart of our Grove.This book is the devotional book of Three Cranes Grove, ADF, in Columbus, Ohio. As we have walked the Elder Ways in a modern world, we have found guidance from the Kindreds and joy in each other. From this joy and guidance, our voice has grown and developed in ways we never expected. This book is the essence of our work: filled with rituals, prayers, meditations and daily devotionals that resound with the unique voice of Our Druidry. This book covers just the first five years of our work as a Grove, and we know there is so much more to come

During its 100 years of hosting minor league baseball, Binghamton has been an affiliation of either the Yankees or the Mets for 57 years and the names of the players who have passed through Binghamton and are members of its shrine read like a Who's Who of baseball in New York City, including such notables as Edgardo Alfonzo, Clete Boyer, Whitey Ford, Lefty Gomez, Bobby Jones, "Wee Willie" Keeler, Thurman Munson, Joe Pepitone, Bobby Richardson, Ralph Terry, and Tom Tresh. Some of the other shrine members profiled in the book who achieved national fame in the game include "Wild Bill" Hallahan, Ken Harrelson, Tommy Holmes, umpire and broadcaster Ron Luciano, and Bill Virdon. Over 748 players who have played in Binghamton have gone on to play in the big leagues, with the majority of those playing in the Big Apple This book profiles the members of Binghamton's Baseball Shrine and also discusses the history of baseball in Binghamton, from the Crickets, to the Bingos, to the Triplets and the current day Double-A team, the Binghamton Mets. The book is full of amusing stories, including the day Ralph Terry strutted like a peacock in Cooperstown, the day Johnny Blanchard hung up the phone when talking with George Weiss, and the day the fianc of Lefty Gomez flushed his engagement ring down a toilet Testimonials include: Ralph Terry, star pitcher for the Yankees in the 1960's: "I was 18-years-old when I arrived in Binghamton or my first year in pro ball, with a duffel bag in one hand and a game of Scrabble(R) in the other. This is where it all began and I remember it fondly." Steve Kraly, pitcher for the 1953 World Champion New York Yankees: "I am proud to have called the greater Binghamton area my full-time home since 1956, after I completed my second tour of duty with the Triplets. You'll travel along the historic crossroads of both Binghamton and baseball as you read this book and I trust that a smile will be your companion."
This book was written for the purpose of magnifying the person of Jesus Christ. After fifty plus years as a professing Christian, the author found himself in the embarrassing position of realizing that his knowledge of all Jesus is, was, and is to be was sorely lacking. The degree of his concern over what he knew he didn't know motivated him to search deeper and deeper into what the Bible in it's entirety has to say about Jesus. What he found on this journey has forever changed his life and brought him closer to God. Some of the questions answered in this work are as follows: -Does the Bible have one central message or is it a complex mixture of allegory designed to be open to many interpretations? -Do the Old and New Testaments flow together in continuity or do they serve separate purposes? -Does God have a heart and if so, what is in it? -What is the distinction between God the Father and Jesus the Son? -What is the purpose and significance of God's law? -Does God have two sets of "chosen people" or just one? -What were the promises God made to Abraham and to whom do they apply? -Can we identify the "true Israel of God"? -Can I know "what God wants from me"? At first glance, one might legitimately ask what some of these issues have to do with Jesus. From Genesis to Revelation, "Jesus the Main Thing" answers what Scripture has to say about all the above and much more, and how they relate to the most Supreme message of all time, The Gospel of Jesus Christ?
