Howard (Howdy) Holschuh served thirty years in the US Navy, retiring in 1972 with the rank of captain after having duty in Trinidad, Hawaii, South Vietnam, Germany and, of course, several tours in the Pentagon. This tale outlines the beginning of that career, describing how Howdy joined the Navy College Reserve Officer Program (V-12) and served as an ensign aboard the amphibious attack transport USS Mendocino in the Pacific during WW2. But first Howdy met an attractive coed named Helen Stafford on their first day as freshmen at Westminster College in September 1941. They began a romance which Howdy tried to keep alive via the US mail while they were separated during those long war years. In 1946, when they married, the world seemed to be at peace, and Howdy began a second career as radio news writer in San Francisco. This book is not only a personal history of part of the war in the Pacific, it is also the romance of two young people whose enduring love for each other lead eventually to sixty-five years of marriage. --- Capt. Holschuh has published two autobiographies, one covering his thirty-year career in the U.S. Navy is entitled I Briefed a Thousand Stars, the other reporting on their retirement years together is entitled Loved Every Minute of It. Both are available from amazon.com.

Sincere and serious in his search for love, a new family, and home, he prays for closure every day. Unsure of his future, being so young and so small, he relentlessly braves the toughest trials in his urgent quest, surpassing all odds of survival in a highly judgmental world. Years earlier, he learned of his abandonment as an infant and was reared by loving foster parents. Nevertheless, he yearned to know what prompted his parents' decision and queried the rationale of such an inhumane act. At last, after many weary days of sleeping in places his tiny frame would fit, eating discarded packaged food left on the ground or in trash cans, and drinking water or soda in capped bottles, he finally approaches a large white house with a warm, inviting, ornate brown front door. Once inside this welcoming abode, his unstable life makes a complete about-face!Sally, the owner, has an adorable cat named Momar, who instantly attaches himself to the tiny stranger. Her grandchildren soon expose Nobody to unimaginable sights and sounds as they take him on a long walk with an itchy desire to explore an old church under renovation.

He constantly thanks God for answering his list of human desires. However, multiple surprises are waiting in the near future for this once-unhappy orphaned child, all planned by God and unfolding in his time-only in His time!

The year 1898 ushered in a time of tension between the United States and Spain, fueled by the yellow journalism of newspapers owned by Hearst and Pulitzer. The United States declared war, and thousands of angry volunteers joined up to exact revenge for the bombing of an American battleship. The last decade of the nineteenth century was also a time when individual women were making accomplishments in previously male-dominated vocations. The Daughters of the American Revolution organized women who wanted to make their communities better. And yet, the bulk of American society still felt a woman's place was in the home. Though women could own property and could inherit wealth, married women were considered an appendage of their husbands, making their economic resources the property of their husbands. But immense changes were brewing in technology, communications, and power. It is within this dynamic period that Jessica Calhoun and Stephen McCormack literally collide with one another, and the chemistry that ignites between them propels them into a whirlwind romance, punctuated with danger.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Gore Lyle. I'm a six-foot-two-inch, two-hundred-pound (of mostly muscle) ex-Green Beret, ex-cop, undercover SPUTF (Special Police Undercover Terrorism Force) agent. I also am independently wealthy thanks to a mob chief. Did I mention the mob would probably like to take me out? I say probably because I don't talk to them about that subject. When I interact with the mob, it usually involves a gun and little talk. This all sounds cut-and-dried, but life is never cut-and-dried. I always carry bad memories of Green Beret missions that went wrong where a lot of killing was involved. I was a different brutal person back then. Then, I found God. However, that old Gore is always there in the background like a bad dream. And yet, working in a dangerous occupation, that bad Gore comes in handy, at times, but must be kept in check most of the time. Only crying out to God and my weird sense of humor helps. What a quandary, for a Christian-You can only cover so much up with humor. Welcome to my life.

Nearly three-quarters of a century following the reprehensible cover-up of the worst US naval disaster at sea emerges an unparalleled account of survival from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis CA-35. But this time, it's not the story of the ship that went under or of the innocent captain blackballed by fellow brass; instead, it's the inspiring true story of a young sailor's unsinkable faith in God to do the impossible despite the inevitable. Introducing Indy navigator Robert "e;Bob"e; P. Gause, QM1, the survivor who discovered the gruesome half-eaten sailor described by Captain Quint in the original movie Jaws. In this riveting biography, Gause chronicles the details of his days adrift as a survivor of one of the most chilling sagas born out of the greatest generation. Torpedoed in the dead of night by a Japanese submarine, the crew of the Indy is forced to abandon ship. Over the next three days, their situation rapidly deteriorates as mayhem sets in. By day four, death and deliria have consumed most of the crew. Dependent upon spent life jackets that are threatening to take them under, Bob and the dwindling group of survivors realize their hours are numbered. If help doesn't find them soon, there won't be anyone left to tell of their unimaginable plight in the deep. More than an incomprehensible tale of hope, Bob's memoirs from the Indy amass a story so unfathomably true-you'll swear its fiction. Unsinkable; it's what you become when ending up on the bottom of the ocean is not an option!*A portion of all book sales will be donated to organizations dedicated to helping our servicemen and women, active and veteran, in the battle against PTSD.

Although there is a disparity between Luke's and Emily's world, it really didn't matter to them for their deep love for each other will ultimately prevail because love knows no bounds.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. The Pilate commanded the body to be dilevered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting against the sepulcher. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, "e;Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, "e;After three days I will rise again."e; Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse that the first."e;Pilate said unto them "e;Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can."e; So they went and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone and setting a watch. (Matthew 27:57-66)In the end of the Sabbath, as it begun to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women "e;Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."e; (Matthew 28:1-6)Is it not possible and reasonable as well that the "e;watch,"e; also referred to as the "e;keepers,"e; were young Roman soldiers Carsus and Felix and that they were witness to the great event described in the above scripture?

The book title brings to light our fallen nature as merely fragile vessels that are easily broken. Our willingness to serve self, while others are being shattered for eternity. Suppressing truth adheres to self-reception, only to ingest the food by Satan's deception. Praise the Lord for the life that we receive. Testimonies that shed the light are by faith that we believe.

Butterfly Wings is a book that was written following the loss of my father. During a time of great sadness and heartache, God's love, comfort, and peace began to flood my soul in those early days. Even in the midst of pain, there is beauty to be found. I began having personal experiences with butterflies. They just started showing up, and boy, how often they came in those early months. The butterflies provided such comfort and peace in ways that I cannot fully convey. I just know what they meant to me. The beauty of those butterflies got me thinking of the life cycle of the caterpillar, and once his job is complete, he blossoms into the beautiful butterfly. Much like the caterpillar, we too live our lives here on earth; and once our job is complete, we too, like the butterfly, begin our new life with our Lord and Savior. Our life is not complete; it just changes. We are given a new life through Christ. My hope is that this book will provide some comfort and a sense of peace to others dealing with the loss of a loved one. We will always miss our loved ones, but we know that they are always with us, in our hearts, in our thoughts and in spirit. Yes, my friends, even in the midst of pain, there is beauty to be found. In loving memory of my dad, John McDonald (1947-2015).

Being and Teaching Special NeedsGary David SillsBook This book is autobiographical in nature, considerably more informal than a thesis or a research paper. My emotional handicaps struck the week before my senior year of high school. This was at a time when "e;Special Education"e; was not established. Mental illness was not a comfortable topic, especially in a Christian home. In this book, my method is to take the reader with me into my struggles, disappointments, and failures in higher education and how I overcame them. As I built skills with troubled teens, I added education from a Christian university that gave me more than adequate tools to teach some of the most difficult to manage students. Limitations in this kind of writing are describing how I dealt with challenges in my classroom without noting research-based methods or other sources. My memoirs here as a handicapped student improperly diagnosed for many years will be of value to parents wrestling with similar problems. Included in the memoir are many scenarios from my classroom in which I modeled successful responses to situations and explained why; I also offered usable innovations that your teacher will find helpful.

This book doesn't offer riches or fame; it offers happiness, love, joy, and lightness of spirit. It's your private journey into your soul. We spend so much time caring for our bodies and mind but very little time on the most important part of our existence that will carry us into eternity. All the goodness, badness, and memories are packed into our soul until revealed on judgment day. What are you carrying within your soul?Does sitting cross legged, repeating a mantra, and staring into a candle not work for you? Separating the soul from the mind and body takes effort and quiet contemplation. Follow this query method to discover hidden secrets about yourself and clarify your values. In return, you will remove burdensome residue from the depths of your soul and begin to experience more joy and lightness of spirit than you ever imagined possible.

Each poem is a stage in my evolution towards God conscious. The alchemy of the word. When reading this book, I hope you will have a relaxed mind and let your emotions run freely. God inspired me to write these poems.

Thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the conference hall at the European Union quarters in Brussels. Thomas falls to his knees in utter shock as he watched the televised life-changing event. His head was pounding as if there was a blaring red neon sign that was going off, and on in his head were the words, THE ANTICHRIST SIGNS SEVEN-YEAR PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL! Like most Christians, Thomas believed that the signing of the seven-year peace treaty would not take place until after the biblical rapture. In desperation, Thomas cries out to God as to why he was left behind. To his astonishment, he later learns that the rapture hadn't happened yet!With his adult son's help, Thomas comes to the conclusion that the seven-year tribulation must have begun at the time of the peace signing with Israel. In desperation, Thomas restores his broken marriage and moves his family, along with a small group of people to the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. He finds refuge at a forgotten, old abandoned settlement, which he and Scott had accidently discovered prior to the peace agreement. Miraculously, the buildings were still all intact. They were even filled with personal belongings, which had not been touched by human hands since the 1800s. Thomas felt led by God to bring his people to the Keweenaw, so they could take refuge from the tribulation and the diabolic Antichrist. Life is a struggle for the nineteen settlers as they live much like the pioneers of olden days. Besides the day-to-day struggles for survival, there were romantic conflicts, new relationships, and catastrophes. Nevertheless, the new members of Old Town put their faith in God's hands in the cold, rugged hills of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
