Bread and Stone
In AD 30, Valerio Tullus and his Jerusalem household are shaken by an earthquake, but more so by Yeshua, a Galilean rabbi shaking Jewish society by proclaiming God's coming kingdom. Eight years before, Valerio arrived in Judea dead to all he loved. But after fighting and nearly dying to defend Leah, a young Jewish woman whose struggle to survive and serve God had inspired him, Valerio realizes that her compassionate God saved his life. Now he wonders - does Yeshua possess the same divine power? To find out, Valerio, Leah, and her children Simon and Anna set out for Galilee in search of Yeshua, and their encounter with the rabbi shakes the foundations of their lives. Is God's kingdom coming s...
The Creation
The major monotheistic religions of the world--Judaism, Christianity and Islam--have certain elements in common, particularly in their scriptures concerning the beginnings of life and the early history of human beings. This shared beginning is compellingly worth further study. Common ground and common threads can only help a dialogue between people of different faiths. This reference work could be a tool toward greater understanding of other faiths and focuses on the story of the creation of the universe and of humans. Part One traces the development of the earth and its inhabitants from a scientific viewpoint so that the humanistic perspective may be contrasted with the scriptural accounts ...
The Trail Blazers
This book, The Trailblazers: Chief Executives Who Transformed the Constitution, presents a summary view of American history over the first forty years under the United States Constitution. During this time many events took place and a few distinct personalities added their personal touch in determining the destiny of the United States. Each of these early chief executives left a legacy although, as always, it has been subject to vast interpretations according to one’s individual viewpoint. However, the collective existence of this nation speaks volumes for each of their particular influences during their time at the helm. The trail that they blazed has enabled the Presidency to undergo gre...

Supersonic Eagles
Following the Second World War, major advancements in aviation technology allowed the development of jet aircraft with capabilities undreamt of only a few years earlier. During the 1950s, the US Air Force placed six new jet fighters into service, which became known as the Century Series Fighters. In this publication the histories of the F-100 Super Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, F-105 Thunderchief, and the F-106 Delta Dart are related.
Women in the Civil War
When the Civil War broke out, women answered the call for help. They broke away from their traditional roles and served in many capacities, some of them even going so far as to disguise themselves as men and enlist in the army. Estimates of such women enlistees range from 400 to 700. About 60 women soldiers were known to have been killed or wounded. More than sixty women who fought or who served the Union or Confederacy in other ways are featured. Among them are Sarah Thompson, the Union spy and nurse who brought down the famous raider John Hunt Morgan; Elizabeth Van Lew, the Union spy instrumental in the largest prison break of the war; Sarah Malinda Blalock, who fought for the Confederacy as a soldier and then for the Union as a guerrilla raider; Dr. Mary Walker, a doctor for the Union and the only woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for Civil War service; and Jennie Hodgers, the longest serving woman soldier (and the only woman to receive a soldier's pension).
The Gilded Age
This is my fifth book on American History that is based from the perspective of the Chief Executives and the events surrounding their terms. This book is concerned with the gilded age, which covers the period from 1869 to 1901. It presents the presidencies of Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley. The era depicts the financial and military transformation of the United States into one of the world’s powers, and also discusses the beginning of military adventures into foreign lands, especially the Far East.
Dreamcatchers
Dreamcatchers is an intense romance between Amanda O'Toole and Straight Arrow, an Ogallala Sioux warrior in the 1870s. Straight Arrow is drawn to her and tries to protect her; however, his dreams predict she will lead him to a fiery death. While she is forced to live among the Sioux, feisty Amanda adjusts to their culture. She meets the great chiefs, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, among others of the Sioux. She bonds with the tribe and shares their joys and sorrows. Later, Amanda endures the heinous abuse Straight Arrow's archenemy, Gray Cloud, forces upon her. After three years, they return to her father's ranch The Circle "T," where she is betrayed by the man she was supposed to marry. The story culminates with the infamous battle against Yellow Hair at the Little Bighorn.
A Cunning Kind of Play
The rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants--the National League's greatest teams in its early days--took hold with the founding of the league in 1876. Between the two bitter rivals there were nine first-second finishes, eight second-third finishes, and 30 out of a possible 65 championships in the league's first six decades. Their games often showcased match-ups between baseball's most talented and toughest players and often had playoff implications. This history of the rivalry begins coverage in 1876 (when the Cubs won the first NL championship) and goes through 1932 (when John McGraw stepped down as manager of the Giants). All of the many great personalities, player match-ups, streaks, and pennant races are included.
