"Secrets are meant to be kept. Some are good; some evil. And then there are those that mean life or death-the kind that leave you breathless, but not in a good way.

As her dreams and nightmares unfold, she begins to put together the puzzle that is her life. She knows that eventually, she will need to find her voice and use it to protect not only herself, but those she loves as well.Paige is in a battle to the death and will fight for her life against those who will try to take everything from her.

How big is your God? Have you ever come face to face with a Holy God? Have you ever considered what would happen to you if you did? Do you consider yourself to be "messed up, missing the mark, lacking, or a failure?" Do you deal with memories that haunt you due to regret, unforgiveness, or PTSD? Or do you think that you are "all that" or "God's gift to this world?" Well, this book will address these topics and more! Karen was an 18-year-old rape victim with a "don't mess with me" attitude. She had a reputation - one where people would say, "Hey, you don't want to mess with that girl, she will drink you under the table, she will cuss you like a sailor, she will fight you until she draws blood, and she will cut you up with her words and spit you out!" This is the "tough-girl baggage" that Karen brought with her when she began her corporate career as the traffic manager of a subsidiary of the largest maritime shipping company in the United States. Despite growing up in that waterfront industry and having the tenacity, disciplines and skills to handle the public relations and manage thousands of tons of cargo moving internationally and locally, she struggled with having that same drive to manage her own personal life.Through this time Karen occasionally thought of crying out to God for help, but she presumed Him to be dis-interested in her plight and most likely a wimp compared to the enormity of her crisis. Then one night, she read a book that was mysteriously delivered to her house. This book, "Power for Living," contained testimonies of corporate high rollers, sports icons and managers like her but who had surrendered their lives over to the Lord and had been blessed in doing so. After considering what she had read, she began to pray the prayer of commitment to Jesus that was recorded in the back of the book, but she added one additional request of God. She defiantly demanded that He prove to her that He was tougher than she was because she refused to serve a wimpy God. Well, God accepted her challenge that night and what He revealed to her is what she is passionate to share with all. Karen's ministry began as she used the gifts and knowledge she received from God to speak His prophetic truths into people's lives. Most come away experiencing joy and peace, being delivered from what had kept them in fear, unforgiveness, or bound to their past. When teaching, Karen has an uncanny way of pressing against those dark places in your character, worldview, or behaviors that many have adopted as their "comfort zone," or "I just can't change" places. By skillfully using stories, scriptures and questions, these truths will challenge you to see "yourself" as God sees you and guide you to receive His deliverance from what torments you. Are you ready to live life differently, to see God differently, and to take off your mask and keep it off? Then get ready to experience freedom and intimacy with a Holy God as you learn how to "face the darkness within you."

The following are only a few of the many adventures that have occurred as I either worked on my house, hiked, hunted, or fished in the wilderness along Lake Superior. I have tried to include many different animals and landscapes so you can get an idea of what you may run into if you spend too much time here. I found it as a great escape from the hassles of modern life and also some good adventures.In greedy gut, I tried to show how caught up in the moment you can get, and the trouble that can follow if you push the limits of time and distance. It doesn't matter how many times you have covered it before. Weather conditions change a lot from summer to fall, and daylight time is vastly different also. Of course you usually have to learn the hard way.At other times, I have tried to emphasize that we humans are just visitors in the critters domain and that we are nothing special in their limited space, as in porkies rule, the opportunist and the spooky woods.I added a few stories of just trying to get by and how complicated it can become such as in the visitor who just dropped in and the siege.I also added our three dogs and one cat that became part of our family. I tried to show how each one adapted to the wilderness and interacted with the wild animals all around them.

The Green Tree Campers of America youth organization leads camping expeditions to educate their young—mostly city-raised members—in outdoor skills, and PSL Ranch in Central Texas is one of their favorite locations. Although this ranchland is beautiful and full of interesting wildlife, it can also be quite dangerous for the unprepared. Due to “a few” lethal incidents involving campers named Sally, PSL ranch hands created this informational safety guide to avert injury, maiming, or death for those camping in this remote Texas ranchland. “Why Sally? What did Sally ever do to you?” these questions are often asked of ranch hands by visitors or during interrogations by law enforcement officers following an incident. The simple answer is, “Why not Sally?”What Killed Sally is a hilarious, politically incorrect, and somewhat twisted collection of ways Sally meets her maker while camping on a remote Central Texas ranch. Fully illustrated, What Killed Sally provides information on each incident while including interesting and sometimes useless facts on the local wildlife, fauna, and inhabitants. There’s even a bonus section with some scrumptious recipes that keep GTCA campers well-fed. Based on actual locations and the ranchers that manage the land, What Killed Sally provides all the information you’ll need to survive the Central Texas outdoors should you decide to hike or camp in this desolate wilderness. Had Sally read this safety guide, it may have saved her life.

Parents, youth pastors, teachers, counselors, psychologists, or anyone who simply cares about engaging or connecting with children and adolescents (youth) could benefit by memorizing some simple communication techniques that have worked for me during my thirty years of experience in engaging and connecting with youth. These techniques are easy ways to memorize and recall what to say to youth in a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental manner, while maintaining a caring and empathic attitude. With a clear mind, fit body, and well-spirited approach to youth, you can make a connection and, in turn, a difference in the lives of youth.

They are designed to connect you to the youth suffering from various issues like poor decision making to low self-esteem and problems such as educational or traumas.This book can be a supplemental textbook for child psychology, adolescent psychology, techniques of counseling, or developmental psychology.

The title Watchman! Watchman! What of the Night? was selected on the basis of the soon-to-unfold Great Tribulation Period (GTP). The purpose of the title is to attract an interest in the reply that the watchman gave: "I see the dawn coming, and also a Night!" It is this approaching "Night" that the watchman saw-which represents the judgments of God and the wrath of man that will unfold during the GTP. In essence the GTP will last for seven years- "the last week" in Daniel's prophecy that concludes "the 367 weeks" upon the Children of Israel. There is a strong indication that "this Night," which horrified the watchman, is likely to commence anytime between mid-2023 AD and mid-2025 AD.You can follow my deliberations in this regard in this second book; however, there is also complimentary information in Who's Paying Attention? Please refer.

The title Who's Paying Attention? focuses on my quest to personally know the God of All Creation and subsequently over the years to "get to grips" with the contents of "the Bible" the way God would want mankind to understand them. Included in the title logic is the use of specific help-aids in the form of Bibles, dictionaries, atlases, etc., and not forgetting prayer to God (the Father of Jesus of Nazareth), who was my most important help-aid, as generically speaking, the Bible is not an easy book to understand.Who's Paying Attention? contains some of my findings; which I can say with confidence that I received divine enlightenment from God; otherwise, I would have remained none the wiser-even after surfing much topical literature. In a nutshell, the answer to the title of this book requires that any passionately interested Bible student must adopt a role of a focused detective and at the same time rely on God through reverential prayer-for divine help to solve unclear or confusing sections of Scripture.It is on this basis that Who's Paying Attention? became the prelude to Watchman! Watchman! What of the Night?-my second book, which further demonstrates the essential reliance on God for divine enlightenment in the Scriptures, rather than skewing the approach towards man and available literature in order to obtain "a correct answer."Notwithstanding the above, we all still have much to learn about the Bible and the members of the Godhead-who were instrumental in making the Bible a reality.
