This book is the seventh written and published by Ken Marshall. At eight-six he pretty much sums up the entire life of the author, warts and all. It began as an argument against the theory that World War II ended the Great Depression. It ended up being a process whereby he vented all of his anger pent up over a lifetime. He has poured out all his anger at the world starting with the Great Depression and ending at eighty-six with his promise to God to do whatever He asked following his total loss of hearing.

THE COMPOUND: Is a story about Marshall, who grew up in the village of Alaoji, his mother’s home village near Aba, in Abia State, Nigeria. He did not know who his father was. Marshall goes to reside with his stepmother Mbonu, at Okokwu village. Mbonu, who knew that her son, who was abroad on studies, the owner of the Compound, would never approve of the idea, to adopt a twenty four years old man, refused to inform him that, a stranger had joined them in the Compound. The struggles of Marshall who sought for his identity, and the identities of his four sisters for recognition, existence, womanizing, romance, pretences, and summons, forms the centre of the story. After about fifteen years of what seemed normalcy in Marshall’s life at Okokwu village, he committed abomination, and he was driven into exile.
John Singe first arrived at Thursday Island in 1970. Peopled by many wild and wonderful characters, this tropical paradise proved to be no place for the faint-hearted. As a diver, John Singe survived shark attack and frequently faced the Strait's unpredictable moods when sailing the waters from Cape York to Papua New Guinea. Hunting and fishing expeditions also provided him with an unexpected education.As well as charting one man's Indiana Jones-like adventures, this entertaining book voyages across contemporary Islander cultures and lifestyles. Much more than a travel saga, My Island Home traces the rewarding journey of its author who continues to be drawn irresistibly to the gregarious people and unlimited horizons of Torres Strait.
'I need your help. My daughter Janet is missing.' 'Why do you think I can help?' Kenneth asked. Mr. and Mrs. Martin exchanged brief looks. 'Our Pastor suggested that we call you.' Mrs. Martin said. They did not look up at Kenneth. 'He said you have the ability to fix things.' A diamond-smuggling plane en route to Miami is blown off course by a hurricane and crashes in the Jamaican Blue Mountains. The crew dies, and a small team of smugglers sets out for Jamaica with the cryptographic keys needed to open the state-of-the-art digital safes on the plane. In an 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' moment, the team leader gives teenager Janet Martin the bag with the keys to carry through Miam...
Near midnight, the heralded and huge White Star liner Titanic, her invincibility never before in question, is a tiny speck on a vast ocean. Four days out on a much-anticipated maiden voyage, the luxury vessel has been fatally grazed by an iceberg. Labeled unsinkable by an adoring public, Titanic will plunge beneath the cold waters of the North Atlantic in under three hours. In Titanic Warning, author Casey Sabella blends a vivid re-telling of the disaster with commentary on the state of the modern-day Church and the lack of commitment to discipling the masses. How did three ships in the vicinity, called upon to rescue the 2500 stranded souls, reflect real personalities in the modern age? Are we prideful like the Titanic? Are we indifferent to the cries of humanity, like the Californian, or do we launch a rescue like the Carpathia? Does the burden to help urge us to escape from it all, like the Samson? The questions are personal, the answers, crucial. Will we heed the warning to put salvation before gleaming monuments? May God help us board the right ship! STUDY AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER.

Titanic scholars contend that the demise of "the unsinkable ship" left more behind than a memory of April 15, 1912, as an important point in history. Through books, films, stories, and songs, the archetypal shipwreck has endured as a metaphor for the perils of mankind's hubris and the fallibility of technology. In 1985, the discovery of the long-missing wreckage two miles below the surface of the Atlantic revitalized interest in the Titanic and spawned a new generation of books, films, and, for the first time, websites, and computer games. James Cameron's blockbuster Titanic became the biggest movie of all time and engendered still greater popular interest in the tragic event. This bibliogra...
