GROUNDBREAKING! Two elderly, wealthy spinster sisters in Llano, Texas, die within a day of each other, and it is chalked up to an unfortunate coincidence and old age. After all, they were seventy-five and eighty-three years old, respectively. One month later, an elderly man in San Angelo, Texas, 130 miles from Llano passes away, and it is attributed to old age and poor health. But there would prove to be a couple of common denominators, Tim Scoggin and poison. This case proved to be ground-breaking in legal annals in the use of atomic testing of cremated ashes along with testing of hair for poison, setting a precedent for evidence in court. Since that time, there have been several cases where this type of evidence has been used. It was featured on Forensic Files on Court TV, with McKinnon being interviewed along with several other individuals involved in the case. Tim Scoggin remains in Texas prison. Prison officials say it is unlikely that he will ever be released. This is the story of how and why.

Are you at a place where you feel like the whole world has forsaken you? Maybe you are saying to yourself, This is it. This is the last resort. This is my stopping point. If I don't get answers, I'm done following or believing in God. I am here to tell you that you were not led to this book by mistake but rather, guided by the Lord. The purpose of my book is to bring life back to dead situations and hope to the hopeless, encourage the brokenhearted, and bring healing to the wounded in hearts. In my book, I am sharing my testimonies of the goodness of God in my life as a child of God and what faith and patience in God can do. My prayer is that my testimonies will affect and be an encouragement for my generation and the generations to come and to let someone know that no matter what you're going through in life, no matter how big the battle is or how hard the wind and the storms of life are hitting you, if you believe in the Almighty God, He can turn your situation around for His glory.

A sweeping history of how writing has preserved cultural practices, traditions, and knowledge throughout human history. In How Writing Made Us Human, 3000 BCE to Now, Walter Stephens condenses the massive history of the written word into an accessible, engaging narrative. The history of writing is not merely a record of technical innovations—from hieroglyphics to computers—but something far richer: a chronicle of emotional engagement with written culture whose long arc intimates why the humanities are crucial to society.
