" ... A Right Good People"
A collection of true stories gathered from the Southern Appalachian people, this book echoes the folkways and values of another era. Published in 1974, the stories collected in “... A Right Good People” were originally published in the Charlotte Observer, the largest newspaper in the Carolinas in the 1970s. These stories were written with the intention of illustrating the heritage of the Appalachian people and letting them speak about their culture and traditions for themselves.

"...Boy!" A Passage to Manhood
In 1939, at the age of six and just before the outbreak of World War Two, the author was uprooted from the Sussex countryside and tossed into the political and military cauldron of South East Asia to face the turmoil of wartime in the Philippines - first on the run in the jungle from the invading Japanese, then in an internment camp where, still a child, he came close to death. His mind further broadened by evacuation to the USA, he then fought a more personal battle for survival, this time against the stifling educational conventions of post-war Britain. Here, in this engrossing true-life account, Charles Land-Reeves unfolds a fascinating story of childhood innocence corrupted by and then triumphing over an uncompromising and often brutal reality. This second edition of a book first published in 1996 has been revised and corrected for its new appearance.

"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"
In a wide-ranging meditation on the Cain and Abel narrative, Mark Scarlata draws out theological motifs relevant to Christian discipleship in a modern Western context. Taking his cue from Augustine's City of God, Scarlata brings to light what it means for a Christian to be a citizen of the heavenly city in this midst of a twenty-first-century globalized society. He argues that Christians can no longer think of discipleship merely as a personal, individual undertaking, but must recognize their role and responsibility as citizens in a global community. Each chapter raises questions like: How do we offer our best in worship when we live in a world driven by consumerism? How can we love others through our participation in the global economy? Are our lifestyles treating the environment in a way that is pleasing to God? And, how do we authentically connect to each other in a digital age of social media and mobile technology? These and other issues are addressed in relation to scenes from the Cain and Abel story. Each discussion highlights ancient Jewish and Christian interpretation as well as how a particular topic is understood within the broader context of the Old and New Testaments. Scarlata then offers ways that Christians might respond to the cultural shifts experienced by this generation and encourages readers to rethink what it means to be a citizen of God's kingdom with a local and global awareness in every aspect of life.

"Believe Me" - Trump Poems Volume One
It has been over a year now since Donald Trump surprised the world with his iconoclastic* ascent to become the most powerful man in the world: President of the United States of America. His style of action pleases his ‘base’ and horrifies the other half of a country that had been the leader of the Free World. Now priorities are being re-organized, often with dysfunction and intrigue. These 41 Trump Poems track the journey of the controversial figure who willed himself into office, amidst a political atmosphere that we have never seen before, in a most dramatic dangerous time... "Believe Me" is what Donald Trump often says after he lies, or misleads - which the Washington Post states has happened over 2000 times during his young Presidency. Volume One of Trump Poems starts with this titled poem, and 40 more poems follow, chronicling Trump and his "Best" cast of characters’ first 16 months running our USA . Cartoons and pearls of information add to the flow of the book, giving insight into many of the poems. If you are concerned about our country and Mr. Trump's impulsive tweet-riddled Presidency, this book may voice your cares and emotions.

"Bethink Yourselves!"
"Bethink Yourselves!" by Leo Tolstoy (translated by V. Tchertkoff). Published by Good Press. Good Press publishes a wide range of titles that encompasses every genre. So much contention, so much anger, so much violence, and so much war exists in our world. It is easy to get caught up in the negativity of it all, but such a mindset will only further drag us down. In this stirring discourse by Leo Tolstoy, we are reminded of the need for peace. He encourages us to align ourselves with the powers of goodness and kindness rather than the evils of the world. Bethink Yourselves! is just as relevant today as when it was first published.
