A chosen quietude that trains us in self recovery and self discovery. The church fathers and mothers agree that perhaps the highest form of spirituality is a self-awareness. Knowing God in Christ profoundly is knowing self deeply; knowing self profoundly precedes knowing God in Christ deeply. That ontological awareness is unfolding daily. Our meditative proclivity trains our weary souls to cut a clearer path toward spending time and space (the meaning of contemplation) with God, and with others.
George Olsen's life is one big lie. As a witness in a mob money embezzlement operation turned deadly, he lives within the WITSEC program and has had plenty of trouble adapting to life. Never look back. It's one of the sacred rules within the WITSEC program. But when he hears an old flame has moved back to New Mexico, he takes a chance and returns to his old stomping grounds only to discover that decision could prove to be fatal. People are looking for the half-million in embezzled mob cash buried somewhere within Torrance County. The same money Olsen and his friend had found a couple of years earlier, the same money people have died for, and the same money wanted by an army of killers who will stop at nothing to get it.
"Death was a good gig ... until someone changed the rules." They say suicides are damned for eternity. But if coming back to life in the bodies of violent criminals is Hell, then Dan Jenkins will take it. And he does, every time a portal arrives to whisk him from his ghostly exile in limbo. Dan rides the living like a supernatural jockey, pushing out their consciousness and taking over. They're bad guys, right? Killers and brutes of every sort, which makes it okay. He doesn't know where their minds go while he's in charge, and for the most part doesn't care. For three weeks at a time, it's a chance to relax and watch movies, read fantasy novels, and have random conversations with perfect strangers. Normally, before the villain returns to kick him out, Dan dishes out a final serving of justice and leaves the world a safer place. It's one of the rules if he wants more rides, and he's happy to oblige. For a part-time dead guy, it's a pretty good gig ... until someone changes the rules. Kick is the first book in a series of dark fantasy paranormal thrillers. If you like Quantum Leap and Every Day, you'll love this gritty, hilarious, and original take on the body hijacking hero story. Vividly written, Kick is a wild ride with a sharp sarcastic wit and a flawed yet likable main character.
Dan Jenkins is back, body hopping a scumbag at a time in his quest for the perfect ride. He doesn't need much. Premium cable TV, good books, a well-stocked pantry, and he's set. But the Great Whomever has other plans. After six months waiting in limbo, Dan catches a ride as a horror novelist whose gruesome stories aren't just fiction. Later, he hunts a man who's escaped justice for far too long. Then, in his greatest challenge yet, he strays too deeply into the lives of the people he loves: his most foolish ride of all.
Dan meets a mysterious woman named Rose who says he's not alone. Like him, she's dead and possesses the bodies of awful people. Unlike him, she doesn't care what they've done, and she hides a secret shame. Through Rose, Dan learns there are others like them, living in the shadows, hopping from ride to ride chasing excitement and chemical highs. For them, morality doesn't matter, virtue is negotiable, and consequence has a three week expiration date.

John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ruled the United Mine Workers for four decades beginning in 1919, defied presidents, challenged Congress, and kept American political life in an uproar. Drawing upon previously untapped resources in the UMW archives and upon oral histories by major figures of the 1930s and 1940s, the authors have created a remarkable portrait of this 'self-made man' and his times.
The "Great John L." reigned supreme as world heavyweight champion from his victory over Paddy Ryan in 1882 until James J. Corbett knocked him out in 1892. A drunkard, a wastrel, an adulterer, a wife beater, and a bully, Sullivan still became American's first national sports hero and represented the hopes and aspirations of millions of people. Michael Isenberg traces Sullivan's eventful life from his humble beginnings in Boston to the height of his immense popularity. The boxer moved as easily in the world of reputable workingmen as he did in the shadowlands on the margins of the sport while his success played a major role in transforming boxing into a profitable and ultimately legitimate business. Tapping previously unexplored archival material--including the notorious National Police Gazette and the other sporting papers of the day--Isenberg tells us why presidents, princes, and turn-of-the-century Americans accepted Sullivan as a hero, even as others vilified him for his drunken and belligerent behavior.
