Name-calling and mudslinging permeate the election campaign for Great Britain's office of prime minister. Two leading candidates, Howard Spencer and Adam Baldwin, both covet the powerful position and will do anything to get it. Spencer can taste victory, but he knows one thing that will guarantee it. He asks his ex-girlfriend, Baldwin's spoiled and selfish wife, Angela, to drag Baldwin into a scandal so horrific that his political career will be ruined forever. With the promise of five million pounds and a future as Mrs. Prime Minister, Angela agrees, ruthlessly using her own eleven-year-old daughter to entrap Baldwin in an unspeakable crime. When the scandal hits the news, Baldwin loses his political standing-and his reputation. Now, desperate for the truth, Baldwin searches for answers and uncovers a maelstrom of lies, deceit, and murder. From the halls of Parliament to the streets of London, Absolute Greed explores the secret, and sometimes deadly, lives of politicians.
Everyone who rides through Gods creation longs for the romance John Wayne offers from the back of a Hollywood horse. However, the reality of those same folks ranch lives often hits them in the side of the head like the handle on a squeeze chute. The whirlwind of the modern-day cowboy life leaves seemingly little time for praying and even less time for sermons that dont hit home.

Combining true stories and life lessons with biblical wisdom, this book is at the same time humorous and poignant. Its pages will provide a look at life through Gods eyes that can be applied to anyones life, but especially to the folks who spend their summers cutting hay and their winters feeding it.
