Böcker av Kenneth Edward Barnes

Since the beginning of time, people have wondered and had different beliefs about an afterlife. It is also a topic over which there is much debate. There can only be two possibilities. One is that there is no life other than this physical one we have now, or there is another one in our future. So, what happens after a person dies? Do they go straight to heaven? Do they go to a lake of fire if they are wicked? Do they turn to dust and never live again? Will there be a resurrection? If so, what kind of life will it be? In this book, I will look at different views and arguments on this subject and then say what I have learned by using Bible passages to back it up. Most people believe in God. If there is no God, then life has no real meaning. Our lives would be like a flicker of light that is lit for a moment and once the light goes out, it will never burn again. If, however, there is a God, then He should have the answers, and if He has the answers, they will be in the pages of the Bible. I wrote this book to give hope to those that have lost loved ones. We all must face death someday, and if you believe in God His word makes it clear what happens when a person dies. Christ is the only one that died and was resurrected with a glorified body, so He should know more about an afterlife than anyone.

This is mainly a book of humor. It's a collection of six of my books. Each of them is about relationships in one form or another. The first book is titled "The Instruction Manual for the WIFE," (Wonderful Idea From Eden). It's about the unique creation known as WOMAN (Wondrous One Man Always Needs). The companion book is titled "How to Care for Your MAN," (Mate's Animalistic Needs). The third book is "How to Raise Your CHILD," (Cute Huggable Innocent Little Darling). The reason being is that you usually cannot have the MAN and WOMAN together without a CHILD soon coming along. The fourth book is "INSTINCTS," (Interesting Natural Secret Tendencies If Nature Could Teach Secrets). The story begins in the Garden of Eden and ends with a "Revelation." In this narrative, I examine how a man would live if all he had were instincts. How would he behave, what would he eat, and how would he find it? How would he attract a mate and what would he do once he did? How would he survive on only what he was born with? The books five and six are much different. Book Five contains "The Lost Proverbs." Like the biblical Proverbs they say a lot with just a few words. Book Six is "Kenny's Sayings," they are like the "Lost Proverbs" except they are humorous. I wrote these books to be entertaining and I hope they are.

This book contains about 35,000 words and is a collection of children's stories, poems, riddles, and jokes that I have written over the course of more than forty years. This is a new addition of another story book I wrote for children several years ago. This new addition, like the older one, is full of pictures and photos of birds and animals. It also has several true stories of wild animals I raised as a child and an adult. A teacher that bought a copy of the earlier version for his two young children, once told me, "My kids would never sit still and listen to a story being read to them until this book." Another little boy, upon seeing the pictures inside of the earlier version, exclaimed, "I love it already!" Since this is an updated version, it has the best stories of the earlier book plus a few other stories that I've recently written. There are also several stories from my non-fiction book "Life Along Little Pigeon Creek." Although this book is for children, people of all ages will enjoy much of it as it brings back fond memories of their childhood.

This is the seventh book in the series. The previous six stories have been about life in the Ice Age and the last clans of Neanderthals. In the sixth book, the last few Neanderthals, along with a woolly mammoth, died in an avalanche 30,000 years ago. Now, in the year 2051, a group of international scientists have discovered the woolly mammoth that's been frozen in a glacier. As the scientists are freeing it from the ice, they discover the ten prehistoric Neanderthal people that died along with it. Not only is the mammoth the best-preserved specimen ever discovered, so are the people. The scientists are wanting the mammoth so they can clone it. But when they discover the ten Neanderthals, they hope to do the same with them. But will it be a good idea to resurrect a primitive race that has long been extinct? If they are successful and bring them back to life, can they live in modern society? What will they think of our world and us? These questions and more will be explored in The Mammoth Slayers: The Resurrection.

Most Christians think the Holy Days that God gave to the Israelites do not pertain to them. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of God's Holy Days was and is the Sabbath. The Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, was instituted by God at the creation. It was to be kept for all peoples and for all generations. Neither the Israelites nor the tribe of Judah was even in existence at that time. Adam and Eve were the first to be told to rest on the seventh day. It would be thousands of years before God gave Moses the Ten Commandments to give to His people. Yes, keeping the Sabbath is for all of God's people, not just the Jews. Keeping His other Holy Days are also for all of His people and they pertain more to Christians than anyone else.In this book I will give all of God's Holy Days and explain what they represent and why we should observe them. His Holy days are a "blueprint" and "rehearsals" of His plan of Salvation, redemption, the resurrection, and His setting up God's Kingdom on earth.

Today you see nature programs and television commercials about saving wildlife and or animal cruelty. Some think that there should be no hunting or killing any animals at all. Others think that there is nothing wrong with hunting, as long as you do not kill too many animals or rare and endangered ones. Then there are those that just see an animal as something they can exploit for profit. And what about killing animals to feed the world? Why am I writing this book? I am an outdoor writer and have been for many years. Besides having the insight of a hunter, angler and conservationist, I have also studied the Bible since I was fourteen-years-old. One of the topics that I have studied is how God views the way we treat animals. The other topic is about what is predicted to happen to the world, not only concerning the animals, but also to us. In this book, I will point out what God thinks. Is it wrong to eat meat? Is it wrong to kill a wild animal? What about the abuse of an animal and what is abuse? Does the commandment given by God, 'Thou shall not kill, ' mean people or does it mean animals, too? Does God tell us how we are to treat animals in our care?

Are events in our lives governed by pure chance? What is a coincidence? Could a coincidence not really be a fluke, an accident, mere luck, or an odd occurrence? Could it be more?This book will astound you because it is full of strange things that have happened to the author or others in his life. Things that cannot be easily explained. Could dreams come true down to the smallest detail, or was it more than just a dream? Was it a vision, a prophecy or a prediction of the future?What about miracles? Do they really happen? Are there guardian angels watching over us? Is God directing some of our lives? Can random events take place that saves a life or changes the course of history, or is there something behind the scenes that is at work? If you are not a believer, you may be after reading this book.This book is not a work of fiction, but every story and event actually took place. Some can be explained by being just a coincidence, while others cannot. You be the judge. Also, take a look at your own life and see if there have been things that have happened to you that cannot be easily explained. You might be surprised by what you will find. Yes, you may find that the events were not just coincidence

The title of this book sounds grim. It is indeed, for the Grim Reaper is already stalking the earth. No, this book is not a work of fiction, but based on fact. Death is like an ominous dark shadow that has been here among us for centuries. Now, in the not too distant future, he will launch and all-out attack on all the inhabitants of our planet! How do I know? That is why I am writing this book. Can he be stopped? I have information in this book that will astound you!

To date, 2023, I have published over 80 titles and Mysteries of the Bible is one of my most popular books. The reason is there are many mysteries, and it takes a lot of study and God's guidance to understand them. Many things have also been hidden until our day. In the Book of Daniel, (Daniel 12:4) the prophet was told: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." We are now at the "time of the end" and people are traveling all over the earth. Knowledge is also doubling every few years. Because of this, some things are just now being revealed about the Bible and there are more to come. In this book, I will reveal who the "two witnesses" are and where they are today. The Bible tells us what time of year the battle at Armageddon will be fought if we know where to look. The Bible also makes it clear about many other things that most do not understand. Like: What happens when you die? Who is the Antichrist? When was Christ born? When did Christ die (it was not on a Friday!). What day was He resurrected? What really happened in the Garden of Eden? Who was Cain's wife? Will there be a "secret rapture"? And many more. Christ says in His word, "Seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be open unto you." If you truly look for the truth, you can find it. You must listen to what the Word says, however, and not to any man. If you question something that I have written, look for yourselves. Christ is the truth, so you cannot go wrong in following Him. Therefore, do not read this book unless you have an open heart and really want to know the truth.

This book is for those who enjoy the great outdoors, whether it's hunting, fishing, or conservation. It contains about 107,00 words and has 80 of the author's outdoor articles and stories from the newspapers and magazines for which he has written. A few of the stories are humorous and even won awards from Hoosier Outdoor Writers of which Ken was a member for many years. Others are about the birds and animals we have lost in America. Most are about the joy of pitting your skill as a hunter or fisherman against a worthy opponent. Others are about just enjoying being in the outdoors alone, with a friend, or even with your faithful dog at your side.Ken has loved nature and the outdoors since he was a child. Because of this, a few of the stories are from his book about living on Little Pigeon Creek when he was a child. Stories such as "The Panther", "The Elusive Quarry" and "The Great Yankeetown Easter Egg Hunt" are some of them. Therefore, just sit back and be prepared to laugh, cry, or feel nostalgic as you experience Barnestorming the Outdoors.

Many cannot understand the mysterious Book of Revelation or The Apocalypse, as others know it. Much of it can be understood if you know certain other prophecies, which were explained by Christ. Others secrets were revealed to the prophets and they too are explained.This book will take you through each verse of the Book of Revelation and explain what the symbols mean and reveal other scriptures that were written centuries before that say the same thing.The Prophet Daniel was given several visions, but he could not understand many of them. God told him "at the time of the end men would travel all over the world and knowledge would be increased." We are there now and many of the prophecies about Christ's second coming, the Great Tribulation, the resurrection, the battle at Armageddon, and other things are being revealed.

Everyone reading these words came into the world because of sex. Sex is a topic we all love to read about. We want sex in our marriage to be good or even better than it is. There are five different levels of sex and that is why I wrote this book; most only know two or three levels.I have written this short book of about 30,000 words to try and help married couples have a closer and more fulfilling relationship. If you do not have a good relationship outside the bedroom, most likely you will not have a good sexual relationship either. On the other hand, if your sex life is a disappointment, it can cause the entire relationship to suffer and maybe even fail.In the book, I discuss ways to have better sex and why this is important. I will be discussing adult topics, but in a loving, monogamous, marital relationship. I will also say why this is important. There are problems that all couples have in marriage and these can and do affect their sexual relationship. I will also address these problems and show ways to deal with them.

This book has a little over 57,000 words and is a true story of one man's dream, my dream, of being a writer and living in a cabin in the woods. It seemed impossible at times for me to achieve that dream, and most would have never even attempted to try to do what I did. Because of my faith and what seems like a divine hand guiding me, I pressed on to do what I felt was my purpose and my destiny. This is my story of how I had a dream and tried to follow it. It tells of all the trials and tribulations I endured and how I kept going to fulfill that dream. While trying to achieve this dream, I lost my mother, my wife, my children, my job, and my home. At one point, I had no money, no job and no home, yet I had faith. Later, by this faith, I built a cabin by hand, using only a hammer and a handsaw. I dug my own well, installed solar electric and became a nationally published writer. Then, when I thought I had almost reached my goal, I lost nearly everything again. I lost my best friend, my father, and my loving wife whom I had found not long before. I also nearly lost a son. Picking up the pieces, I began again trying to follow that dream. This is that story and it is not yet over, for there are several more chapters in my life. Because of this, you, too, will become part of that dream when you read this book. This story is written on a very personal level. I try to tell things that happened and the way I felt at the time. I believe that speaking to the reader, as I would a close friend, gives a better understanding of the author's view and adds depth to the story. I will also be sharing my faith in God, for without His help I would not be here writing this book. I believe this book will increase your faith, give you hope and encourage you to follow your dreams. Therefore, I hope you will enjoy reading "A Cabin in the Woods."

So, what happens when your pet dies? Is there any chance that you will ever see them again? In this little book of about 30,000 words, I give some surprising answers. Who would know best if pets go to heaven than God? Does God say anything about pets or any other animal having eternal life?The answer lies in the Word of God, which is in the Bible. Not many scriptures speak directly about this question concerning animals, but there are some. More importantly, the Bible explains how God's plan for humanity will also affect animals. If we understand this, then we can better understand what happens when we die or our pet dies.This book will shed new light on the subject and I believe you will enjoy reading it. I have included several stories of pets that I have had over the years, from dogs, cats, raccoons, pigs, squirrels and others. I believe young and old alike will love reading about each unique animal and will be able to see and understand that every animal, just as every person, is special. A pet is special to us, but to God they are even more special, because He created them and He knows everyone, even the ones humans never see.

The love between a husband and wife is the most intimate of all love and in writing this book I wanted to show how terrific that special bond is. This story is about the love of two young people and the pain of losing that love. Therefore, in order for the reader to feel the joy, the ecstasy and the pleasure of the love they experience, I had to write several intense love scenes. I had to show in their intimate relationship that they had something so glorious and so special that it would show the depth of their love during their most private moments.Yes, this story is full of passion - it is also laced with moments that touch the heart. Will the unfaithful one be caught? Will true love overcome all obstacles? Is it even possible to have the kind of love that will be able to forgive the unpardonable sin? You will find out in this story of love, lies and secrets. Yes, it is a heart-rending story of passion, love, and forbidden desires that lead to the other being Betrayed!

"Life Along Little Pigeon Creek" is an updated and longer version of "Life on Pigeon Creek." This longer version contains over 71,000 words. The earlier version, which was published in 2011, has 54,700 words. The earlier version is still available in paperback, hardcover and as an e-book on Amazon and at Author House.This book is non-fiction and is for children as well as adults of all ages. The people and events depicted in this story are real and true and is a nostalgic look back on the author's life. There are also several heart-touching moments, and the book is laced with humor. This book gives a rare glimpse into rural life from April 1951, to May 1962. It also gives a view into the lives of some remarkable people: from Yankeetown's Tarzan, to the Cat Lady, to other local and even national celebrities.The book tells of the hard yet fun times the little boy goes through. It tells of his secret love; his quest to find something rare and beautiful, and his desire to be unique like some of those around him. Therefore, step back to a simpler time and see the world through the eyes of a child, a child whose heart was touched by God's creation and those remarkable people around him.

There is something in the water of the Arkansas River. It is unlike anything that has ever been seen or heard of before. After there are several attacks on animals and humans, the people all along the river and streams that flow into it are terrified and want answers. No one even knows what it is. There are speculations and theories, but since the victims never see it until it is too late, no one knows for sure what the monster is or how it came to be in the waters of Arkansas. Some think the creature may have come from the ocean and became trapped when the new Mount Carmel Dam was erected, which blocked its exit back to the Mississippi River. Others think it could be a giant alligator or even an overgrown catfish. Some even think that it could be a shark, which has somehow adapted to fresh water. Then there are a few that think is an unknown creature such as the Loch Ness monster. Only catching or killing it will answer the questions once and for all. However, it will not be easy to capture or even find the mysterious monster as it has plenty of places and water in which to hide.

Yes, nature is often cruel, has no heart, and is ruled by raw instincts. The female black widow spider protects and cares for her young, but the male is expendable. After he serves his purpose, he is killed and then eaten. That's the way it is with the female of this species. No, this story is not about a female black widow spider. It is, however, about a woman that has some of the same attributes of this dangerous and dreaded arachnid. It is a story of intrigue, drama, murder, animalistic lust and bone chilling suspense! At first, her husband trusts her, but he shouldn't have. He was lured into her clutches by her captivating and seductive charms. Yes, she looked good, very good, and he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. But just like the female black widow spider, she may turn on him, and with cruel, unmerciful brutality! Will he escape her clutches in time, or will he just be another victim; the third husband that she has killed? Perhaps he will see her true colors before it is too late and escape - perhaps not. Therefore, step into her web of lies and deception if you have the nerve. Some have and they have never escaped her venomous bite. This is why I named this book "The Black Widow."

Who was this man called Christ? He was born in a stable two-thousand years ago. He only preached for about three years and never traveled far from home. Yet this one man has been the most influential person that has ever lived and He changed the world for all time.Was He as He said, the Son of God? Will He return to earth and be the ruler of the world? He claimed to be with God from the beginning, so is it recorded anywhere in the Bible that Christ lived before He came in the flesh? You may be surprised, for every Book of the Bible has Him in it in one way or another. About one third of the Bible is prophecy and nearly all prophecy pertains to Christ's first or second coming.In this book I go through each Book of the Old and New Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation and give a brief synopsis of some of the highlights. As you read, you will see that Christ was there guiding events and telling His servants what was to happen in the future.
