GOD INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS BOOK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS WE CAN SEE AROUND US IN LIFE. EACH POEM EXPRESSES DIFFERENT VIEWS OF LIFE.

When I purchased this diary several years ago I had no idea where it would lead me. As I read I saw a story that had to be saved and shared. What better time to write about World War 1 than during the centennial years of the United States involvement. While there have been many great histories written about World War 1 this is a very unique look at the war through the eyes of the everyday Doughboy. This diary gave me the opportunity to present "The Great War" as Corporal Linton Henry Hoover saw it as he served as a signalman in the 33rd Infantry Division, United States Army. He left a detailed daily account of the war that led him to France, the trenches and the front lines where disease and death were a daily occurrence. As you read this account, his account, remember that he was part of a generation of young men and women who are often called the Lost Generation because so many were killed or maimed. A generation lost on the killing fields of a mostly forgotten war. As the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War 1 approaches, it is a great time to remember.

The history we know is sometimes incomplete. The stories we get are those shaded by time or cultural perspectives of the day. Historical accounts of African Americans during the Civil War vary. Some aspects, such as their involvement in military activities are generally not well known, if at all. Anthony B. Cochran's Out of the Storm: A Legacy is an important addition to the bookshelves of historians and genealogists because it showcases African Americans' heroism during the Civil War, not their servitude.Out of the Storm lists all African American recipients of the Medal of Honor for service performed during the Civil War, identifying other previously unrecognized African Americans who performed feats of valor and heroism on the battlefield. Cochran, who studied history in college, provides genealogical information for as many of these soldiers as possible. As a US veteran, of the Vietnam War, Cochran also includes excerpts of battlefield reports detailing strategy and tactical planning involving units of African American soldiers.

There is no doubt that the arrival of President Donald Trump in power in the United States of America has opened several doors to unusual controversies nationally and internationally. The world's international political atmosphere seems to strongly disagree with the President Trump's political leadership. And in the US, the public climate appears agitating and full of hostile criticisms against the President. That may push us to argue that he is the most criticized president in the world today if not unwanted! This reality may lead many to think that there is nothing godly that is happening in the White House since President Trump took power while he publicly declares to be a Christian, and many people believe he is God-given or prophesied president and restaurateur of godly or Christian values in the US. Today's US immigration policies are an eloquent example of what can create confusion for those who may doubt whether God chose President Trump. Clear input about that is given in this book. If we want to change the king's mind, we need to earnestly talk to God, the Sovereign and Most High, but not to gods. And by doing that, we should bear in mind that God's will should be done, not our egoistic and sometimes uninformed wills (Matthew 6:10). God owns everything; he possesses all the kingdoms (the States) of the world and can give their leadership to whoever he wishes (Daniel 4:7). Would we blame political leaders that they are not doing what pleases us when we claim to have a divine connection that works? Is what pleasing to us right to the eyes of the God we worship? Are we able to tell with exactitude the kingdom (or region) where our fore-parents were living one thousand years ago or predict with exactitude where our descendants will be living after ten centuries in the future? Is it right to complain about President Trump rather than praying earnest for him to do the will of God during his days in the White House? Should Americans be super-happy wit

"The author Eliza Louis and Balagopalan are both equally lucky - the sishya in her great good fortune of being accepted by such a wonderful guru, and the guru in finding a devout disciple with the academic rigour of a painstaking scholar with true understanding of the art and personality of her mentor. The result is a fascinating biography of an outstanding dancer and dance guru, which runs almost parallel to the story of Kalakshetra... This is an extremely readable, entertaining and illuminating biography of a great artist and lovable human being." - V Ramnarayan, Editor-in-Chief, Sruti, Chennai

In any person's life there is so much that is remembered, even more that is forgotten. Where a single event or decision, of one's own making or a consequence of the times one is born into, plot the course of a life. Yet through it all, there is meaning. Life is worth living, declaring so is perhaps the most important thing one can do.In this autobiography by Cesare Frustaci from small boy abandoned in war- torn Europe to proud grandfather thankful for the life he now lives on the gulf-coast of Florida, "Cesi" recalls his Italian-Catholic father and Jewish-Hungarian mother. His flight in the face of Nazism at age two with mother from his place of birth in Naples, Italy, to her place of birth in Budapest, Hungary.His mother's looming internment in the German death camps. His survival of the bloodiest war of the last century followed by a rural farm family adopting him. Not to see his father for eighteen years and to be reunited years later thanks solely to the personal intervention by Monsignor Angelo Roncalli, better known as the "Good Pope," John XXIII.This son of a musician who composed the music for a song played by the Glenn Miller's U.S. Army Air Force Band, and a ballerina who trained, performed and taught at the Hungarian Opera House reveals the child who grew to manhood on the streets of an alien city under a German, then Russian occupation. Held captive by them until 20 he returns to his father in Naples only to discover greater challenges there (including his father's Greta Garbo connection); an engineer married to a Hungarian beauty and ultimate immigration to America with wife and two daughters.Fate did not swallow up Cesare Frustaci. Destiny, rather than crush him, submits to his rule.

When an autopsy reveals arsenic in the dead man's stomach, "a few days" visit on Martha's Vineyard to settle the affairs of his recently departed octogenarian Uncle Walt becomes a longer, more adventurous stay for Minnesota cartoonist Dave Jerome and his buddies, St. Paul Daily Dispatch reporter Warren "Mitch" Mitchell and photographer Alan Jeffrey. Because Uncle Walt was a former editor of the Daily Dispatch, Mitch and Al are ordered to stay on the Vineyard and report on the murder investigation. Dave stays with them in the "one for all and all for one" spirit of Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers. But when another senior citizen, who claims to be either Teddy Roosevelt or Teddy Kennedy, turns up dead of arsenic poisoning, the puzzled investigators begin to identify more with the Three Stooges than the Three Musketeers. Toss in a naked lawyer on a clothing-optional beach and a dazzling duo of identical twin sisters holding Uncle Walt's financial investments, and the troubled trio is faced with many questions that seem to have no answers.

If men and women are to be the individuals God created them to be, they must accept their God-given roles. The alternative is chaos. In The Redundant Male: The Marginalization of Manhood in America, author Jeff Becker, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church for almost thirty years, documents the systematic deconstruction of these roles in terms of the American experience-in the family, work, education, government, and popular culture and media-along with their inevitable deleterious effects both on individuals as well as in society at large. This insight makes The Redundant Male a useful new title for anyone interested in obtaining a biblical understanding of the proper role of husband/father, particularly in terms of its being central to the health of the family unit.
