Book excerpt: Battle Ready is a book and Bible study combination acknowledging that spiritual warfare and collective evil is a reality that must be encountered and engaging in this fight is a part of the Christian narrative. To be Battle Ready, the tactics against warfare of evil are discussed and broken down along with counter strategies to thwart off attacks. Many are wounded by spiritual attacks, abuse, or mobbing, and Mike offers a way through the pain reflecting on his experience of collective evil attacks and psychological abuse from some toxic parishioners that he has encountered over his 27 years of ministry. This book is an excellent resource for everyone who wants to become more aware of how spiritual warfare is waged at work, personally, and corporately in the life of the church. Mikes desire is that this book will raise awareness of the abuse that is on the rise in our society. Do not deny your destiny to become Battle Ready because the fight is already waging around you. Learn how not only to survive but also thrive as a mighty warrior of God by being Battle Ready. https://youtu.be/kOOqmfHRruQ

Book excerpt: "This award winning romantic comedy is brimming with hilarious as well as moving moments captured from a 38 year marriage. As Jimmy and Alice Diamond clear out the attic of their Malibu home because a turn of finances is forcing them to move into a cramped condo, they find themselves reliving the flawed masterpiece that is their marriage. A subtitle, with a smile, might be, "Till Debt do us Part." Two pairs of actors play the Diamonds, (early and now, in their marriage) one young and one mature. Throughout, they observe and comment on each other. In one delightful scene, the four confront each other to negotiate the transition into middle age. The fifth cast member plays six different women who influence the Diamond marriage, offering a tour de force for an actress"-- Publisher's website

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shirley Valentine, 42-year-old put-upon mother and housewife, leaves the drudgery of cooking dinner for her husband, packs her bags and heads for the sun. The note on the kitchen table reads "Gone to Greece back in two weeks." "It is a simple and brilliant idea...the profound and perennial point of the comedy is the problem we seem to have contemplating the idea of a woman alone - in a pub, on a beach, in a restaurant. This is what Shirley learns to combat as she unravels her own sexual and social identity. The play is not only funny, it is also moving." (Michael Coveney, Financial Times) One for the Road "starts...with the mid-life hero torn between the security of married life in a dormer bungalow on a northern housing estate and dreams of being a rucksacked super-tramp. Mr Russell writes with knowledgeable venom about a world where Beethoven Underpass leads to Wagner Walkway and where anyone who doesn't join Weight Watchers or the Ramblers Club is regarded as a social deviant." (Francis King, Sunday Telegraph)

Book excerpt: When three cousins learn that they have inherited distinct components of a family legacy, unexplainable things begin to happen around them. Kalista begins to see apparitions, Taylor experiences terrifying dreams, and Brendon hears voices that tell him what people are thinking. Secretly, they embark on a quest to find answers and seek advice from Mama Julie, a one hundred and ten-year-old, wise woman with psychic abilities. Adding to their frustration, Mama Julie opens their minds to new ideals and beliefs. In doing so, she spins a tale regarding an ancient mythological legend that they have a difficult time believing. It only leaves them with more questions. During their journey to solve the mystery, even stranger things begin to transpire and the legendary prophecy comes to life. As the trio continues on their mystical odyssey, they encounter the unimaginable; murder, cultural bias, supernatural phenomenon, love, hate, betrayal and ultimately coming to terms with their extraordinary talents. These talents transport them to a world full of suspense, fantasy and spine tingling adventure...they invite you to join them during the exploration to find the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Spring 2010) This historical novel finds President Reagan and First Lady Nancy trying to do the best acting of their lives to leave the White House, alive. (abridged edition) Our most loved and hated President after Kennedy and before Obama, Ronnie struggles to defeat the Evil Empire and not lose his mind to Alzheimers dementia. Can he still trust Bill Casey and George Bush, George Shultz, Selwa Roosevelt and Mike Deaver? Can Ronnie find out who's pulling his strings? A fervent anti-Communist and Nazi hater praised by his wife Nancy and ultra-conservatives, groomed by Bechtel Corporation since 1950 and sold StarWars by Dick Cheney and Paul Nitze during the most scandal-ridden presidency in American history, daughter Patti, college students and flower children despised Reagan for supporting the Vietnam War and Contra death squads and felt the Reagan-Bush Administration was run by Nazis. As it turns out, it was. This historical novel documents the foreign policy, national security and monetary policies of the Reagan-Bush Administration were run by Nazis thru the life of character Reinhard Gehlen, Hitlers chief of Foreign Armies East intelligence, whom Dulles hired to run and train CIA as Freikorps Nazi deathsquad torturers, terrorists and assassins who then trained the Contras ...that Gehlen was later handled by Bill Casey (Ronnie's campaign manager) then George Bush (Ronnie's vice president) to fight, exaggerate and invent the Cold War in order to capture the Russian Baku oil fields. And, the unabridged edition goes on to document thar the City of London/Fed/CIA/Bank of England/MI-6/7 financed (and implied ongoing financing) of the Moslem Brotherhood (also known as Al Queda, Muhajadin, Hezbollah, Hamas and Arab Nazis) at the bequest of the private owners (the interlocking directorate) of the Fed/G8. The unabridged edition goes on to document how the Fed today, through the companies they direct and/or directed, such as Enron and all the major banks and oil companies, Halliburton, Bechtel, Brown & Root, Blackwater, continue to hire narcoterrorists to protect Fed & G8 directed oil pipelines and heroin and weapons trafficking markets. (Note, much of all the documentation mentioned above, is in the unabridged edition.) Based on autobiographies of the Reagan family, Cabinet, and White House Staff, the book includes charts from: Staff Report, Committee on Banking, Currency & Housing, House of Representatives, 94th Congress, 2d session, Aug. 1976 -- Federal Reserve Directors, a Study of Corporate & Banking Influence. This series of charts documents the private owners of the Fed and the companies they direct, and the study in the unabridged edition has the conclusion of the House of Representatives, which states: "In summary, the Federal Reserve directors are apparently representatives of a small elite group that dominates much of the economic life of this nation."

Book excerpt: This book reads the whole of Bret Easton Ellis's oeuvre to date from Less Than Zero to Imperial Bedrooms and asks to what extent Ellis's novels can be read as critiquing the cultural moments of which they are a part. Ellis's work can be thought of as an enactment of a process of underwriting contemporary culture, which offers new paths of understanding and ways of critiquing the contemporary author's place in the relations of production.
