One Percent Devils and Their Satanic Tools by Curtis Alan Woods, JD, MSAJ, BA One Percent Devils and Their Satanic Tools addresses the rampant moral crisis in a dozen professions. Moral politicians, religious leaders, news media and economists are allowing One Percent Devils and their Satanic Tools (Republican politicians, preachers and the press) to gradually eliminate and replace democracy, moral capitalism, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution with an Anglo-Saxon new world order that would be as tyrannical and immoral as Nazi and atheistic communist orders. Satanic Tools disrespect, suppress, and bully anyone who is not a male, Caucasian and a Judeo-Christian. They are against: equal rights; justice; fair distribution of national income and wealth; education (so voters are unintelligent); regulation of any business; and social safety nets for their victims. They don’t want Medicare, Medicaid or Affordable Health Care so victims die and taxes can be reduced. Immoral means to immoral ends includes: Orwellian Repetitive Lies; and Hitler Nixon type Machiavellian Divide and Conquer Wedge Issue Tactics so people vote against their own socio-economic interests, freedoms and rights.

Do you know what it takes to be a great teacher-coach? Hadley Hicks knows. He was mentored by five collegiate Hall of Fame coaches, he was a teammate of well known professional football players on a National Championship military team. He even had a ''cup of coffee'' in professional baseball. Hadley was successful as a high school and college coach. Yet, he never reached the greatness he felt was due him. Hadley Hicks shares his heart in his search for significance. His poignant, humorous, and down to earth writing style makes an enjoyable read. He is candid in his heartbreaks, the sin of divorce and the death of his eldest son. He survived a parental petition for his dismissal as football coach. He livened up his teaching experiences with an accidental shooting and a premeditated murder. He kept his fellow faculty alert with numerous practical jokes. Among student-athletes he mentored was a Cy Young Award winner and three professional football players. Hadley's marriage to a Godly woman who is his spiritual teammate, provided impetus for finding eternal significance in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
