Synopsis Hey America Listen Up by : Greg DeHart

A voice of one crying from the subarctic, prepare ye the way of the Yeshua! His judgment against this nation is right now coming forth, and his second coming is at hand! Hey, America, listen up. In order to properly introduce this book, I must first say I believe in the absolute authority and infallibility of the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Bible. The Bible is the bottom line authority in respect to all of man's life and conduct and reveals the path of salvation to all who are of a true heart. This edition is not meant to be a book on theology but a book of wisdom, a collection of exhortations and reproofs written to America over the last twenty plus years in Yehovah's name. (Yehovah is the ancient name of God; it is my understanding that it is most correctly pronounced Ye-Ho-Vah.) I am certainly not a humorist, but you'll find some humor. I'm not known to be sarcastic, but you'll find some sarcasm. You will not find much of the message to be what you may think of as lighthearted, although I think you will find the illustrations imaginative, human, and very relative. I am not an entertainer; however likely you will be entertained. It is not a work that many would define as politically correct or diplomatic. I will admit I'm far too straightforward to fit into the popular definition of those terms. Simply put, Hey, America, Listen Up is the compilation of expressions of a modern-day watchman whose spirit Yehovah has stirred up to speak warning to this society to the end that people of honest heart might be humbled to courageously turn from every wicked way to follow with enlightenment and singleness of heart the way of the one and only true God who is revealed in the face of Yeshua, even as the greater portion of our nation's founding fathers did. It is a book that predicts the sad and deadly days ahead that will surely fall upon not only this nation, but also every nation of the earth that refuses to turn from ungodliness to seek and serve the living God.

Synopsis America's Walls by : Tom Forbes

A generation ago, achieving the American dream was possible. But for todays working middle class citizens, achieving or even envisioning the American dream is becoming almost impossible. How have we lost this integral part of our national identity? Can we recapture it? Author Thomas Forbes thinks so, and he outlines his plan in Americas Walls. Forbes believes that the way to reclaim America is to shrink the size of the US government, control spending, and create a financially independent country. In so doing, the middle class of America can also find financial independence and begin thriving once more. Forbes suggests incorporating the values used to make this country great, including hard work, discipline, and innovation. He details some of the major issues facing the United States of America today and provides honest, straightforward commentary on ways to solve these issues. Topics covered include illegal immigration, war on terrorism, entitlements, term limits, healthcare, education, and much more. Its time for us all to embrace President John F. Kennedys words: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Americas Walls leads the way.

Synopsis Pure Life by : Eugene Marten

A harrowing, intense, powerful new novel that reads like a classic, from one of the great writers of his generation. Nineteen battles his way into the pros, becomes the quarterback, becomes the myth. Marries the owner’s daughter, touches greatness few will ever dream of, retires into what he assumes will be the promised afterlife of days on the golf course, celebrity endorsements, and cushy real estate investments. But markets tank, family disintegrates, fame fades, and the holes in his mind and memory from a career of punishment on the field become too large and frightening to ignore. When he hears of a miracle brain damage treatment forbidden in the U.S., he travels to the Mosquito Coast of Honduras in search of a chance to restore himself to the man he was. Instead, he finds himself on a journey that plunges him into a darkness more violent and horrific than he could have possibly imagined—at once a fight for his life and to hold onto the shards and fragments of the life he’s fighting for. A sports saga, sprawling thriller, and existential reckoning with the rot at the core of the west, told by an unheralded, singular master, Pure Life is a daring, complex, and brutal confrontation with and demolition of our modern myths in the most primal of settings—one as perilous as it is imperiled.

Synopsis Atonement and Forgiveness by : Roy L. Brooks

Roy L. Brooks reframes one of the most important, controversial, and misunderstood issues of our time in this far-reaching reassessment of the growing debate on black reparation. Atonement and Forgiveness shifts the focus of the issue from the backward-looking question of compensation for victims to a more forward-looking racial reconciliation. Offering a comprehensive discussion of the history of the black redress movement, this book puts forward a powerful new plan for repairing the damaged relationship between the federal government and black Americans in the aftermath of 240 years of slavery and another 100 years of government-sanctioned racial segregation. Key to Brooks's vision is the government's clear signal that it understands the magnitude of the atrocity it committed against an innocent people, that it takes full responsibility, and that it publicly requests forgiveness—in other words, that it apologizes. The government must make that apology believable, Brooks explains, by a tangible act that turns the rhetoric of apology into a meaningful, material reality, that is, by reparation. Apology and reparation together constitute atonement. Atonement, in turn, imposes a reciprocal civic obligation on black Americans to forgive, which allows black Americans to start relinquishing racial resentment and to begin trusting the government's commitment to racial equality. Brooks's bold proposal situates the argument for reparations within a larger, international framework—namely, a post-Holocaust vision of government responsibility for genocide, slavery, apartheid, and similar acts of injustice. Atonement and Forgiveness makes a passionate, convincing case that only with this spirit of heightened morality, identity, egalitarianism, and restorative justice can genuine racial reconciliation take place in America.

Synopsis 2037 by : Bryce Thunder King

In 2037, the world has devolved into chaos, paranoia, and tyranny. People now live under the chilling consequences of governmental intervention that has strangled human emotion. The resulting behavior of a suppressed population is distrust and chaos, widespread disorder, and rebellion and revolution. Never-ending conflict and human exploitation are the new norm, the consequences of a political system that robs citizens of their freedom and liberty. Charlie, desperate to make his friends and family understand the horrific realities that allowed this state to thrive, connects one end of a Thought Analyzer to his temple. In doing so, he allows them to learn the happenings of his prior life-the burning of Boston, the violent march to Washington, D.C., the occupation of the United States Capitol, the flight from D.C., the need to go underground, and the fateful meeting with Ben and Jamie, two leaders who intend to march on D.C. with their newly formed armies. Ben, a general, convinces Charlie to join his army and makes him a colonel. Once inside Ben's brutal world, Charlie witnesses his leader's cold-blooded nature and the ferocious and barbaric fighting abilities he has cultivated from the persona of Jamie Paige. Can the citizenry reclaim their society from brutal oppression, or must they find a way another way to survive?
