A Theory of Great Men
A Theory of Great Men is the humorous, fast-paced story of an irreverent, flawed man who has a talent for accumulating both proteges and enemies. George Cavaliere, a veteran high school history teacher, has many attributes of a brilliant educator. He's a vibrant classroom performance artist, his colleagues respect his knowledge of history, and he's popular with many students. Cavaliere is at his best when he's debunking the so-called "Great Man" theory of history, which maintains that the actions of major historical figures dominate the course of human events. Not so, Cavaliere insists. People's lives are shaped by sweeping forces beyond their control, and often their understanding. And yet his own life seems to show the opposite. Cavaliere's impatience with political correctness and his restless philandering lead to the unraveling of his career and his marriage. A part-time job coaching an underdog basketball team helps Cavaliere confront his own shortcomings and begin to see that, although he is anything but a great man, he is, nevertheless, the master of his own fate.
A Deed of Trust
Gregory Dishon, founder of American Dream Mortgage Company, sat in his well hidden, high-rise office a few blocks away listening as he watched the entire exchange between his top producer, Jonathan Franks, and agent Eve Campbell of the NCCOB. The whole inquiry had taken less then 30 minutes. Frank's reaction, or lack of, when told about Thorne, was unsettling. Dishon assumed Franks would lead him to Thorne. Sean Thorne had become a liability that needed to be neutralized, and now, possibly, Franks. Thorne eluded Dishon's best and disappeared into thin air. Thorne had to be found, at any cost. Watching every move Franks made from this point was no longer an option; it was now a way of life. But with this new speed bump he would have to be very cautious. Having the government, state or federal, looking into his affairs was not something for which he was prepared. Dishon felt he might have to tread lightly, possibly shutting down his operation and reopening elsewhere. Though he never got a close look at agent Campbell, there was something prophetic about the way she carried herself.

Ocean City
Discover how tiny Ocean City has overcame obstacle after obstacle and matured into the jewel of Maryland's shore. Ocean City, Maryland's own seaside resort, has become so popular that it is almost too small - five square miles - to hold all its tourists. The last few decades have brought tremendous growth to the area in the form of both population and development. Bridges and tunnels have been built, high-rise hotels and condominiums have grown up, and amusements of all kinds have become available to the summertime crowds. In this second volume of Ocean City, images of beach life from the late 1940s to the present day capture the spirit of this popular vacation spot. From funnel cakes to Ferris wheels and deep-sea fishing to seasonal festivals, Ocean City, now a year-round retreat, has offered millions of visitors an endless variety of entertainment. Having survived destruction caused by storms, problems associated with the real estate boom, and the overwhelming surge of visitors who each summer crowd the boardwalk and Coastal Highway, this "small" town has become the place to be on Maryland's shore.
Invisible Killer
When detectives respond to a crime scene in Orlando, Florida, during the "summer of hurricanes" in 2004, they find Charlie Brandt hanging from the rafters in the garage of his niece, Michelle Jones' home. Inside the house, they find a scene of horror that reminds them of other murders. In 1978, 13-year-old Carol Lynn Sullivan's head was found inside a rusty paint can in Osteen, Florida; her body was never found. Homeless transient Sherry Perisho was murdered in 1989, after moving to Florida from Illinois. Finally, in 1995, Miami prostitute Darlene Toler was deposited on the side of the road, wrapped up "like a package." Perisho and Toler had their hearts removed; all three had been decapitated; and all three are believed by investigators to have been the prior victims of Charlie Brandt. Invisible Killer is the true story of crimes committed by Brandt with insight from an FBI profiler and forensic psychologist, victim's friends and relatives, and the unique writings from victims themselves before their deaths.
Not Reformed at All
"This is a response to and refutation of Douglas Wilson's book, 'Reformed' Is Not Enough: Recovering the Objectivity of the Covenant. Wilson is a spokesman for both the Classical-Christian school movement and the Neolegalist movement, which makes one's salvation depend on one's performance. In his book, 'Reformed' Is Not Enough, Wilson invents a new covenant, which he calls the 'objective covenant', and denies the Covenant of Grace taught in Scripture"--Publisher description.
