Over the past five decades, I have been delighted to be a therapist and psychology professor. My career is a vital science, allowing me to theorize questions regarding psychological development and mental states. This is my testimony because, for the past 50 years, I have been paralyzed while rolling around Earth, pondering these questions.This book encompasses what I have learned from my conventional perspectives. One thing is clear: True success in life directly correlates with the quality of health, finances, mental health, family, friendships, hope, purpose, and a relationship with God or a Higher Power.I have filled this book with scientific theories, strategies, and stories that can encourage and inspire inner growth. This book is easy to read and can be used as a daily learning tool as you become your genuine therapist. Who honestly knows you better than you? No one! This is why you must candidly be familiar with the latest psychological theories as you live through the transitional stages of a happy life.In addition to my writings, I have included quotes and stories from incredible people who have motivated me throughout my lifespan. I trust you will be inspired in the same way.

This is a charming children's story about a city ant that goes to the country to visit his friends, a cat and a dog. They have a good time together and meet a horse named George, a lion flying a kite, a very friendly octopus, and a busy zebra.If you want to, you can also use this book to help teach children the alphabet and how to read using phonics and the 42 Magic Words that are always shaded in the story. These 42 words start with ordinary, easy-to-read words like ant, bus, cat, dog, egg, fish, gate, etc. They are "magic" because they contain at least one spelling of all of the 40 sounds in the English language.In the back of the book is useful information that explains phonics and how to teach your children to read. This book teaches children the letters of the alphabet and all of the 40 sounds in English, using songs and other fun activities. These sounds include the five short vowel sounds, the five long vowel sounds, the five other vowel sounds (aw, er, ow, oy, and short oo), and the digraphs: ch, ph, sh, th, wh, and -ng.As you read this story to children over and over again, they can learn to read the 42 Magic Words. This will give them a great start in learning to read. Later children can enjoy reading this book themselves.(Comment from the author: I wanted to see if I could make it easier for children to learn to read using phonics by introducing short and long vowels at the same time. And by teaching them not just the alphabet, but also teaching them all of the 40 sounds in English, using songs and other fun activities. This is the purpose of this book. Pat Stryker)

2Pac 4Evr is the outstanding new book by renowned author Francis Nicholas Driscoll, which depicts in great detail the trials and tribulations of the artist, while diving deep into the specifics of his albums and movies. The author simultaneously pinpoints the parallels between his and 2Pac's own life, being that Francis had a traumatic near death experience in '91 that left him with a C7 Quadriplegic Spinal Cord Injury, and wheelchair bound for life.Francis got hurt in '91, the victim of a train accident in NYC, and barely lived through it. That happened right after he discovered 2Pac's first works under the Digital Underground collaborative Rap Group.The author, despite sustaining a permanent Traumatic Brain Injury, somehow remembered all of 2Pac's albums and movies and, following an unjust eviction from a handicapped living community, Francis proceeded to write this book as a moving tribute to the prolific rap star.

"I would rather teach than eat," Alice King Ebey once commented. She began teaching in 1890 at age eighteen in a one-room Wabash County (Indiana) schoolhouse, then attended Mount Morris College in Illinois and later became an instructor in the Bible School at Manchester College in her hometown of North Manchester, Indiana. But Alice could not ignore the call of her Christian faith to teach the Gospel message of hope to those who had never heard of Jesus.In 1900, Alice and her husband, Adam, sailed to Bombay, India, where they served as Church of the Brethren missionaries in the villages and towns of western India until 1931. Together they raised two daughters there and made their home at seven different mission stations. Mastering both Marathi and Gujarati, they worked together to improve living conditions and health care in areas of great need. Adam built orphanages and schools and alleviated the suffering of sick people who lacked access to medical care due to caste restrictions. Alice worked with women and children, teaching them to read and work together as a Christian community. After retirement to North Manchester and following Adam's death in 1939, Alice returned to India for another term as missionary in 1945-1947.Adapting to a very different way of life, Alice and Adam lived through turbulent times of personal tragedies, hardship and social change. Yet Alice vowed to "teach and teach and teach with love, and pray with confidence," trusting God to guide them through grief and discouragement. Returning to North Manchester, where she lived until her death in 1960, she spoke and wrote about her experiences and told marvelous stories to her grandchildren. Her words taught many others of the wonders of India, the kindness of its people, and our common humanity.When Alice died, she left a trunk full of diaries, letters and other documents containing her private thoughts and public writing for her granddaughter, Janice Shull, to discover. From this treasure, the author reveals Alice's story of faith, courage, and hope, a story that continues to teach a message of service and compassion today.

In the Bible when it speaks of the End times, there is a warning that many will be deceived, even "the elect." With the rapid advancement of technology, we are living in a time when many of these deceptions and components of the system of the Antichrist can be accomplished and implemented, respectively. We actually use many of these components in our day-to-day lives without considering how they can be used against us. During the recent global pandemic many individual technologies were introduced that were used to control the population, and in my opinion, most churches did not do enough to challenge the State because, similar to individuals, they have accepted these tech advancements in their daily operations. The seamless switch to online, virtual, church services was a major step to control a part of the population that traditionally pushes back against government overreach into the religious lives of its citizens. Fear dominated the spirit of many churches, and their physical doors remained closed to not only their congregants, but also millions who were seeking Truth in confusing times.By not asking the difficult questions that we are challenged with in Scripture and by being willfully obedient to the growing technocracy, I propose that the Church runs the risk of being used by Satan unknowingly as part of the coming deceptions. My hope is that this book will serve as a wake-up call to Christians to realize that we have been engaged in a Spiritual war that has been raging from before we existed. A key to understanding the End times lies in our understanding of the earliest books of the Bible. It is also critical that churches realize that our blind acceptance of technology has harmed us and our mission. A reassessment is long overdue. Many of the dots are connected from one existing technology to another to reveal how they can be weaponized against God's children.Many aspects of the pandemic response were a proving ground for the technology that will be used against the Church when the "world system" is implemented. If churches do not acknowledge this and "retool" there may not be another chance. There is a groundswell of people coming to faith in Jesus Christ and they are desperately looking for something that looks different from the world: Truth. If the Church continues along its path of keeping up with the world in culture and technology, it will miss this opportunity to live out the Great Commission of Matthew 28, and instead shepherd its flock into the slaughterhouse of deception.

Wars and the need to fund them were the historic reason for banks to create excessive amounts of fiat money. This book explains how banks seized the wealth of society's most vulnerable members to create fiat money. During peacetimes, banks primarily lent to the government depriving the private sector of capital and resources. The unimpeded bank credit offered the government a convenient source for unlimited borrowing and spending. US banks also learned to offer fiat dollars to foreigners seizing the wealth of foreign dollar users. The peremptory confiscation of foreign dollar holdings by the US is poisoning the trust in the dollar and reestablishing gold as a reserve currency.

In 1973, McComb, Mississippi, emerged from a troubled era of the civil rights movement as a small town ready to move past Jim Crow laws and segregation. Young families began to settle in the southwest Mississippi community, including one such family from Oklahoma, Larry and Pat Hicks, and their two young sons, Clark and Matt. Life in the 1970s and 80s in a quaint Southern hamlet became a breeding ground for stories of wit and charm. In the early 1990s, oldest son Clark married his high school sweetheart. The newlyweds moved eighty miles east to Hattiesburg, a thriving mid-size college town where a new generation of Hicks boys were born and raised. The expanded family in the "Hub City" of southeast Mississippi nestled into the fabric of a rapidly changing Southern culture, where tradition and technology created a fertile environment for storytelling reminiscent of an age long ago. Part memoir, part history, the book consists of short story vignettes sure to entertain all readers, particularly those who have connections to the Magnolia State.

The authorities get into the mix, including the FBI, but so far, their efforts to catch the responsible parties have had no success.Can anything or anyone stop this young man's spiraling attraction to violence and his growing plans to expand his horizons.

Thousands have written about Jesus Christ, the best-known figure in history. Aside from the New Testament words recorded by the people who knew him, his life is a mystery. Theologians and scholars of multiple disciplines have given us learned insight.Speculators have him married, traveling to Gaul and China and one casts him as a Japanese rice farmer. What about his boyhood years, the trials of a teenager, education, a boy mourning the death of his grandparents and later suffering the loss of his earthly father? How do you run a carpentry business? What about the challenges of a young human Jesus growing into his divinity? "Jesus: The Untold Story" suggests some answers. Simon Peter is the opening chapter narrator, and one gets the sense that he and Mary, Jesus' mother, are not on the best of terms. Then Mary becomes the narrator, and her discussion with Jesus is laden with foreboding. The story then goes back to Egypt where the Holy Family has lived for nearly four years. Joseph learns that Herod the Great has died, and they head back to Nazareth.However, the Herod paranoia and power hang over much of their life thereafter. It's an adventurous trip home but good friends and Jesus' recall about a dog's habits are key.Once back in Nazareth, Jesus deals with the usual elements of growing up in First Century Galilean culture - education of the Hebrew Scriptures, making friends, playing games and doing chores. He suffers the death of grandparents and later the demise of his earthly father. His teen years involve running in relays, more studying of Jewish Scripture and learning the rudiments of carpentry. While training for a race at nearby Nain, he meets a girl from Synagogue. That and a growing sense of his divine destiny created new challenges. After Joseph died, the son of a carpenter had a business to run. As his ministry progressed, there were not only disappointments in developing his kingdom on Earth - such as real love for one's brother and forgiveness - but the arguing among his disciples. In the end, there is the anguish of the unknown. Mary prays that the final days will not be the horror that she imagines. She accepts Simon, renamed Peter, as the leader of the Apostles, the Rock.

The Truth has the unmatched power to see through and defeat every lie, shaded truth, and misdirection of humanity. In life, truth stands on its own when all of the facts have been presented because, ultimately, the truth always traces its origin to the Source of all truth: the eternal, omniscient, and holy triune God described in the Bible. The second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, is indeed The Way, the Life, and THE Truth, according to John 14:6. Everything in God's Word confirms that claim, and nothing contradicts it.If this absolutely unique Divine Person -- the God-man -- embodies the truth to the extent that He can rightly be called THE Truth, we have before our eyes the most-reliable source of truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.As eternal, holy God Himself (John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17, Hebrews 1:1-2), and because God can NOT lie (Titus 1:2), Jesus Christ is the most-faithful witness to the truth that there ever could be. Why should we rely on the ignorance, incomplete knowledge (at best), and lies of sinful, finite creatures? Only those men who spoke and recorded the Holy-Spirit-inspired words of the books of the Bible were given God's stamp of approval and seal of certification that their words matched and proceeded from God.So in addition to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, we can add to the number of truly faithful witnesses those select few who were genuinely inspired by the Holy Spirit to be the "stenographers" of The Scriptures. But that's where we must draw the line, because diligent truth-seekers have nothing to gain by going beyond that boundary.The reality is that anyone can make predictions about the future and not one person in our earthly realm actually knows what will happen or when. That's the dividing line between knowing the future (and the past as well) and engaging in guesswork about it. The truth descends to us from God's eternal throne, and by His grace, we finite human beings can come upon even the most astonishing facts of creation (as He wills).On the other side of the divide, we humans of limited understanding and imagination will soon hit our largely self-imposed ceiling; pride keeps us from going to God for the knowledge that can break through the barriers. For far too many, if something must come from God, we don't want it. Man by nature rejects God's provision, whether that pertains to things needed to live in safety and prosperity on earth, or far worse, the ultimate provision of The Way to eternal Life in the person and work of The Savior, Jesus Christ.To the Christ-rejecter, the worst offense of all is a life of holiness. The Christ-follower, then, is the natural enemy of the unbeliever, and the only one within reach of their hatred. If this doesn't fully explain their hatred toward Christians (because of Jesus, who lived the ONLY perfectly holy life), it can certainly cover the main ground. However, to reciprocate with hate is not God's way, so let's get back to the duties of the Christian: to acknowledge, trust in, and follow Jesus Christ, The Way to the Father in Heaven.The title of this book clearly proclaims a specific Person as the Faithful and True Witness: Jesus Christ, the God-man.That descriptive phrase is taken from Revelation 3:14, but there is actually another word that precedes it: "These things says The AMEN, the Faithful and True Witness." On page 9 of this work can be found a short treatment of the connection between the Bible's use of "Amen" in the Old Testament and "Faithful" in the New Testament. The conclusion is intuitive and firm: Both terms in their essence indicate "Yes, yes, it is (or will be) so" and "Absolutely, it's a done deal!" in the expressions of two different times.If God says what will happen and when, the occurrence will unfailingly verify the prophecy! Amen!

To be sure, many men have accomplished much more in a two-year time span than this author, but probably not many so diverse as to what is recorded here. This memoir covers Dan's adventures in 1976 through 1978 while in his mid 40s. The title stems from his multiple sailboat races, including the exciting 1976 Transpacific yacht race to Hawaii, and his hot busy sandy years in Saudi Arabia working for IBM Corporation. He served as an expat at the giant ARAMCO oil company helping to manage their complex data processing needs. The book includes some Middle Eastern history, information about Islam and the Qur'an, plus a few trips to surrounding countries such as Kashmir, India, central Iran, France, and Northern Europe. A few love affairs are mentioned without too many details.
