This booklet is a report on and an analysis of the Confederate Secret Service. Any errors or misinterpretations of referenced sources are strictly those of the author. The author is an experienced intelligence officer, but he also harbors the caution of a typical intelligence analyst and knows that there is always more to know.My interest in this topic stems from both my intelligence career and from research of family history/genealogy which begun in 1983. The genealogy reveals that ancestors served in nearly every conflict starting with the American Revolution. That family military tradition continues in the current generation with two sons who are serving as officers of US Marines.

Not understanding one's real value can be catastrophic, especially in children. Tiny the Eaglet had forgotten who he really was; desperate and lost, he assimilated to the only animals that were nice to him when he had no one else-the chickens. Tiny starts acting like the chickens-pecking like them, clucking like them, and never dares to fly. He really believed to be a chicken, even though he looked quite different to them and had dreams about flying every night. It is not until his friend Jonathan sees the resemblance between Tiny and an eagle that he realizes that Tiny was meant for greater things than just a chicken coop. But the lying serpent wants to make Tiny believe that she is stronger than him and that she will devour him. It is up to Tiny to believe and remember who he truly is and how powerful he was created to be. Like Tiny, many have forgotten who they really are. The enemy lies and makes people believe they are common people; but common, they are not. Humans were created for great things-sons and daughters of an almighty king, the creator and ruler of the universe. They are called to walk with heads high up and always remembering they are royalty. It is important that the children understand this truth at a very young age, and one must help them comprehend that they, just like Tiny, were created for mightier and greater things. Embark on an empowering journey of self-discovery and take back your title away from that lying serpent.

The Larson icehouse had stood abandoned on the south shore of Black Wolf Lake for the past eighty years. During that time, the building had a rather checkered, some might say sordid past. And now, in the spring of 1980, evil had apparently taken up residence.Jessica Wiggins, Stewart Gregory, and Caleb Anders, eighth graders at Immanuel Lutheran School in Longville, Minnesota, were enjoying their last spring break before starting high school in the fall. Jess had a faith statement to prepare for church, Stewart had a project to complete for the science fair, and Caleb . . . well, Caleb was bored. But Caleb was never bored for long.Some strange men had occupied the icehouse. Caleb’s curiosity was an itch that needed scratching. Over the next five days, with Jess and Stewart’s help, he would determine who these men were and why their mission was so secretive. In the process, he would put himself in grave danger.There are singular moments in our lives when our actions can truly make a difference. In the spring of 1980, the activities at the Larson icehouse would provide one of these moments in Caleb’s short life.

Through the Lens: A Book of Short Stories is about stories that derive from the heart and were inspired by God, life experiences, and learned principles. All the stories are based on a female teenager's perception, but do not exclude the male perspective. The stories will shed light on various issues that young adults may struggle with, such as isolation, suicide, peer pressure, drugs, family complications, inadequacy, judgment, and salvation. These stories are real-life examples compacted with tough lessons and key messages, in hopes of permeating the minds of the younger generation to find positive ways to handle the tribulations of life, despite their present circumstances. Every story is intended to teach all young adults about the significance of kindness, sacrifice, temperance, and love. With this book, I hope to provide awareness to the reoccurring problems that most teenagers and young adults are confronted with.

As parents, nearly all mothers and fathers form a bond with their offspring at the moment of birth. As we parents know, children do not come with instructions, however. The business of raising them to become productive members of society is a roller-coaster of ups and downs. This series of trials and errors helps to define and solidify the parental bond. When that bond is severed by loss, the ensuing chaos sends a grieving parent into a tailspin. When that loss is unexpected and there is no time to prepare, the grief can be particularly debilitating. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children.Just as children do not come with instructions for their raising, there are no instructions for how to deal with the grief which consumes us when we lose one. How can one survive the crippling effects of this tragedy? The enormity of that tragedy is compounded when more than one child is unexpectedly lost. As you read my story of the loss of two of my three children, I hope this survivor's perspective will help to shed light on a very complex and personally-unique emotion and serve as an inspiration for others experiencing the same grief.With belief in God, the love of family, support of friends, compassion from strangers, and the passage of time, it truly is possible to overcome the debilitating effects of grief.

For years as believers, we listen, read, and study God's Word. We can get to a point of confusion if we are not careful with so much information available. We can allow ourselves to ease into information overload. The author was in search to break it down a little and see if there was a general conclusion to the question: "Once you are saved, what comes next? Because there are so many dos, don'ts, have-tos, and the list goes on and on." So the book breaks it all down into sections, hoping to help others who may have been or is in a situation of religious information overload. This book defines the process of spiritual growth.

This book is a must read. The author is one of the most provocative pastors in America. He is not well-known; neither does he desire to be. He is one of few pastors who totally depend on the Lord for every word spoken and every word preached. You see, not only is Pastor Ardoin totally dependent on God, but the reason is thought-provoking. Pastor Ardoin, from humble beginnings, quit school to work in the fields of Louisiana to help support his younger siblings. When he was accepted by Christ into the family of God, he could not read, making him totally dependent on man to quench his hunger and thirst for the Word. Once he realized that depending on man was not good, he beseeched God to teach him. His desire was to only be able to read God's Word. God heard his servant and taught him to read His Word. To this day, Pastor Ardoin can only read the Bible, no other book. He depends totally on God and whatever Word He would have him speak. When he speaks, the Word is as an oracle of God. Unable to research or read others' opinions of the Word, he cannot alter what God has to say. The words written in this book are a few of many messages given to him by way of the Holy Spirit. He does not change God's message. His messages are awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. This book will not tickle your ear but give you truth straight from the Man Himself, God. His decision to publish is to be able to reach more with the truth. Many believe truth is relative, but Pastor Ardoin believes truth to be absolute when it is based in the Word of God. Releasing Your Faith through the Word is completely Word-based (Bible) and Spirit-led. In the words of our Lord, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
